Sacred as F**k

Staying sacred when life is a shit show

What do we do when life is a shit show? People let you down, spanners get chucked in, bodies pack up, and it's easy to forget about all those lovely tools in your sacred toolbox.

So how do you stay sacred and in your power when the shit actually hits the fan? Kat lives in fight or flight; Tatts is calm until something's out of her control. We get honest about why.

We talk about what feeling safe really means. We also get into misogyny, rejection, political backlash, illness and gossip, plus why you have permission to remove people from your life, and why "it happened for a reason" can be a trigger all of its own.

Most of all, it's about remembering who the fuck you are.

Send this episode to one friend who's in the middle of her own shit show.

It’s Samhain, the pagan new year, and this week we’ve turned the volume down a notch. Don’t worry, there’s still a Shit Show Round Up. After that, Kat and Tatts settle in for a gentler, more open conversation about what this turn of the wheel means to us.

We talk about how we work with Samhain energy, what it means to be witches in the Punk Temple, and how witches made us feel when we were kids. We share what’s on our altars, how we honour our ancestors (including an ancestor egg holding seven generations of Tatts’s maternal line), and what we’re putting into the cauldron, ready to be transformed.

Kat’s still got the shits, which is getting her down. Tatts is grateful for the soft landing she’s had since moving her life across the country.

A cosy one for the dark half of the year. Pour something warm and come and sit with us.

In this episode

• Samhain as the pagan new year and the turn into winter
• Working with the energy of the season
• Being witches in the Punk Temple, and the witches who scared us as kids
• Our altars, our ancestors and the ancestor egg
• What we’re letting rot down, and what’s going into the cauldron

This week our Instagram account got shutdown. Kat’s goddess paintings get taken down for showing nipples. And Sally Rooney’s books have just been pulled from UK shops. So we’re talking censorship, and who really gets to decide what women can say and show.

We dig into Meta’s double standards (calling women property is fine, a painted nipple isn’t), and how the male gaze has been coded into the machine. Then the bit that really matters: how we’ve all started censoring ourselves before anyone else has to. Meta is the new watcher, and the good girl is still being told to behave.

Instagram can delete us. Our mailing list can’t. Join us at sacredasfk.com, and please share this episode with a friend who’s had enough of shrinking into the background to please everyone else.

As always, we begin with the Shit Show round up.

Is self-love just the latest way women are made to fell 'less than' and carry the centuries of shame on a cellular level?

We didn’t plan to say that. We realised it mid-recording, and it changed the whole conversation.

This one goes right back to Eve, the fall, and original sin, and to the shame women have been carrying and embodying for centuries because of it.

But first: the Shit Show Round Up opens with an actual shit show. You’ve been warned.

Release the shame!!

This episode is dedicated to Annabel Rook, who sadly did NOT survive domestic abuse.

'NOT ALL MEN' because THE WORLD DEMANDS WE RAISE OUR FUCKING VOICES ABOUT THE ATROCITIES

And with that comes a trigger warning above and beyond our usual “swearing/content” warning.

We will be discussing SA, VAWG, RAPE etc.

And it will be fucking unfiltered.

So much to unpack here, and, as you'd expect, we each do things differently. Why? Because there is only one way, and that is yours.

What is Goddess Consciousness?

Different types of devotion and worship.

Tatts keeps things simple and Kat has her Goddesses on speed dial.

Sabbats, spirals, seasons and the golden rules - Respect the Mother Earth, and don't be a dick.

Books we recommend.

Sophie Bashford - You are a Goddess

Lisa Lister - Witch

Anne Baring - The Dream of the cosmos

and anything published by Girl God books.

Can we separate the art from the artist’s toxic opinions?

Spoiler - Kat can't, Tatts can.

Harry Potter, Morrissey, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kanye and Ed Sheeran’s potentially disastrous leg of his US tour.

Let us know where you are at with this.

It’s a hot potato.

We love Vanderpump Rules so much we might have to have a whole episode about it. When we finally get back on topic, we smash the archetypal boxes us women are put into. Which one are you ready to smash? Good girl, Witch, Bitch, Whore, Hag or being too much.

Grab a cuppa and join us for a chat.

This week we are really trying not to rant. Kat is in her luteal phase and feeling all the hormonal perimenopausal feels, so strap in for the journey.

We discuss Mabon, the up coming Equinox and an invitation to see where where life has got out of balance. We are entering the second harvest, a time to gather in what has borne fruit in our lives and release what do you need to let go of. And Tat's bring it back to big knickers. There's been a restock.
