Fear is messy. Fear is loud. Fear is that old “Christian record” in your head telling you you’re wrong for wanting more.

In this episode of Fire & Butterflies, I’m joined by Aspen, a solitary Eclectic Wiccan who has been deeply influential in my spiritual journey since the very beginning, before I had language for my magic.

This isn’t an interview. It’s a conversation. Two brujas sharing tea, telling the truth, and moving forward even when fear is present.

We talk about:
🔥 What “moving forward in the face of fear” really means

🌙 Religious trauma + unlearning what you were taught to fear

🦋 Why community can accelerate your growth (and why isolation can make it harder)

🕯️ Spellwork as prayer—and why magic is part of the plan, not the whole plan

🌹 Social media spirituality: discernment, discipline, and what actually creates real transformation

Familia, if you’ve been quietly curious… if you’ve been scared to trust your path… or if you’re learning to separate your intuition from your fear. You are not alone.

🎧 Listen in and remember: your magic doesn’t need permission to be real.
