In this important and nuanced conversation, Megan and Morgan explore the realities of cultural appropriation within modern witchcraft. They unpack what “closed practices” actually mean, why they exist, and why white practitioners in particular must approach these traditions with humility and accountability.

The episode moves beyond surface-level discourse and into deeper reflection: What is the difference between appreciation and appropriation? What does it mean to be invited into a tradition? How do historical trauma, colonization, and systemic oppression shape spiritual boundaries today?

Megan and Morgan discuss the responsibility that comes with practicing witchcraft in the modern era, especially for white witches navigating spiritual curiosity in a world where information is widely accessible but not always ethically shared.

This episode is not about shame. It’s about awareness. It’s about learning to honor ancestral traditions, respecting community boundaries, and doing the internal work necessary to build a spiritual practice rooted in integrity rather than entitlement.
