Sacred Mechanics

Episode 22 is here — an archive piece, and one I think is overdue for a share. I’ve not published it because I think it is a very sensitive topic, and many may disagree with my ethical position regarding the role of a psychic, so here it goes!

Will He Leave His Wife? And Is He Cheating? The two questions I’ve been asked more than any others, by far. I talk through what I’ve actually observed: the men who cheat repeatedly because something in them is never satisfied, versus the ones for whom it simply isn’t in their nature, and why I believe, ethically, a psychic should never tell you outright that your partner is cheating. I also speak directly to the women who’ve fallen in love with someone unavailable — the stolen moments, the invisibility, those birthdays alone, the loneliness of being a secret. It’s hard, and I don’t pretend otherwise. But I also talk about what it means to choose yourself.

This one’s filmed from bed, in a full house with six kids between us, because some moments you just have to steal when you can.

It's early Saturday morning, it's raining, and I'm in bed with my notebooks from the last four or five years — pulling out the best nuggets of genuine wisdom I've gathered across two decades of practice, study, and some very expensive lessons I'd rather you skipped.

Seven spiritual coaching gems. Each one could be its own episode. Today you're getting all of them.

These aren't in order of importance. They're not trending concepts or repackaged self-help. They're the things I keep coming back to — the ones that actually work, that I wish someone had handed me earlier, and that I'm still finding new layers in every time I return to them.

One of them will probably stop you mid-listen. That's the one to write down.

No makeup. In bed. Completely worth your time.

Episode 20 is here, Sacred Mechanics has a new look!

Matrix Glitches — Three Stories — Are the glitches getting more frequent, or are we just finally paying attention? I share three recent domestic incidents with no reasonable explanation: a kitchen light that turned itself on mid-thought, a toilet roll that reversed direction in under ten seconds (yes, really), and a $50 Dan Brown hardcover that vanished and reappeared on a shelf I checked four times. My psychic teenage daughter is keeping a running log. So am I.

Sappho — The First Confessional — A deep dive into the ancient poet of Lesbos who wrote desire from the inside out and whose voice refused to be deleted across 2,600 years. I trace the thread from Sappho through Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Audre Lorde, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Hope Sandoval, Lana Del Rey, and Mitski. Words are spells, and spells are hard to break.

What does it mean if everything is an illusion and the illusion is starting to show its seams?

New moon in Aries. Seven planets stacked. The reinvention is official.

Here we are again — a day or two out from a new moon, and Bel is in her car on the way to uni, microphone clipped on, thoughts absolutely everywhere. This is Sacred Mechanics at its most unfiltered.

In this episode Bel covers an alarming amount of ground, including:

The Da Vinci Code Defence — Bel is deep in Renaissance art history at university and has feelings about the Last Supper, the Medici family, and the figure that is definitely not John sitting beside Christ. She knows this may be career limiting. She’s saying it anyway.

The Atheist Boyfriend — Six years in, and Bel is still in a relationship with a man who thinks you die and then there’s nothing. How does that actually work? What happens when a shamanka and a full atheist love each other? And should she put him on the podcast?

Signs, Proof & the Angel at the End of the Bed — Bel reflects on the people who need supernatural confirmation to stay on the path (her), and the people who simply trust without evidence (also impressive, also not her). Plus a medieval monk whose Eucharist started bleeding, and why that actually makes her feel better about herself.

Your Energy Is Not a Shared Resource — On source energy, energy shields, and the sparkly imaginary cape Bel gives her clients before they walk into crowded rooms. Practical, strange, and genuinely useful.

54, First Year, Only Adult in the Room — On being the oldest person in your university cohort, giving phone advice from the kitchen at age sixteen, becoming an old tree, and why it is absolutely not too late to start everything again.

The Five & The Crow — Bel’s guides are called The Five (yes, like a boy band) and last week they told her: you are the crow and the crow is you. She’s still thinking about it.

New moon in Aries. New beginnings. Record from your car if you have to.

New year edit: spiritual overwhelm, reinvention at 50+, and the voice of the higher self

A candid “New Year edit” from Bel Bare — on slow awakening, reinvention in midlife, manifestation without the hype, and the quiet power of meeting your higher self. Bel shares real-world spiritual perspective (without the pressure to be “on” all the time), why rock-bottom can be a reset point, and how the higher self can become a compass for clarity, courage, and direction.

In this unscripted episode of Sacred Mechanics®, Bel records from her book-filled seaside space and speaks candidly about what it feels like to move through a slow, real-world awakening, the kind that doesn’t arrive with fireworks, but changes you over time.

Bel offers reassurance for anyone feeling behind, confused, or spiritually “not attuned enough.” She explores the tension between spiritual curiosity and everyday life (rent, kids, work, fatigue), and why the path is about integration more than major revelation. There’s also a deeply personal thread: reinvention in midlife, the hunger for education, and the quiet moment of proof that you’re not who you thought you were.

She then turns to manifestation — without the glossy internet fantasy. Instead of chasing impossible outcomes, Bel reframes manifesting as a practical, playful discipline: noticing what you’ve already created, learning through small wins, and using “rock bottom” moments as a pivot point for rebuilding a life that actually fits.

The episode closes with one of Bel’s most moving topics: the higher self. Drawing from recent readings, she describes how the higher self can feel like a real presence — a loving, intelligent “you” unencumbered by old stories — and how learning to meet that aspect of yourself can become a compass in times of isolation, indecision, or reset.

Key themes

• Slow awakening and why “not feeling it” doesn’t mean you’re failing

• Balancing spiritual practice with real life (without obsession)

• Reinvention in your 50s: identity, purpose, and starting again

• The “elite” manifesting trap vs practical manifestation

• Rock-bottom as a spiritual reset point (the resurrection arc)

• The higher self: permission, guidance, and learning its “personality”

• Building a cleaner, more intentional online life

In this unscripted solo “solstice journal,” I reflect on the New Moon and the December Solstice as a practical gateway: a moment to shed old skin, reclaim attention, and choose your own timeline in a noisy world. I share thoughts on spiritual practice, minimalist living, unplugging from the attention economy and staying grounded while the collective feels intense. The episode also includes an update on Fauun Books and my love of old spiritual texts, including upcoming titles like The Blue Island and The Astral Plane. (visit www.fauun.com)

What’s mentioned

• Sagittarius New Moon + Solstice (summer in Australia / winter in the North)

• Choosing your “timeline” and guarding attention (“thoughts are things”)

• Minimalism, decluttering, investing in experiences over things

• Consumerism and Christmas (solstice vs capitalism)

• Digital sovereignty: email privacy, dumb phone, reducing social media scrolling

• Fauun Books (public-domain spiritual texts redesigned for modern reading): The Blue Island by W.T. Stead (afterlife/spiritualism) and The Astral Plane by C.W. Leadbeater (Theosophy/astral realm)

A new episode of Sacred Mechanics® podcast is live — and this one opens a door into the hidden architecture of the world around you. We’re exploring thought forms, egregores, and the unseen mechanics that influence your emotions, your choices, and the energetic tides you live within every day.

This is a short but powerful dive into the seven core truths about the unseen world — why your thoughts have weight, how groups create living fields of energy, and how you can consciously reshape the patterns that shape you.

💬 Episode Snapshot

In this episode, I reveal how thought forms are created, how egregores are born through group identity and repetition, and why your inner landscape is far more generative and powerful than you realise.

We look at the psychic residue of thoughts, the emotional imprint of fear and desire, and the ways families, fandoms, religions, brands and even nations create energetic structures that feel “alive” because we feed them.

Most importantly, I share how to rewire the unseen fields you live within — dissolving inherited stories, withdrawing from draining egregores, and building new ones that support your growth, peace, and purpose.

🔍 What’s mentioned

• Thought forms• Egregores & collective psychic fields• Hermetic and Theosophical views on mind• Energetic cords & emotional residue• Shamanic interpretations of thought and power• Family identities, fandoms & modern brand egregores• Conscious magic vs unconscious magic• The mechanics of manifestation

I’d truly love to hear what this one stirs in you — reply anytime or share your reflections on Substack or YouTube. Your presence keeps this work alive.

In this episode I reflect on the raw, complex reality of being a medium. I share stories from my early days as a clairvoyant and healer, when spirits appeared everywhere I went, and the hard lessons that came with learning to “turn down” the gift for my own protection and sanity. From confronting encounters to moments of deep compassion, I explore what it really means to live between two worlds, how psychic sensitivity can sometimes overwhelm even the seasoned practitioner, and whether I’m ready to open that door again.

This episode touches on:

The difference between psychics, mediums, and spirit workers

What it feels like when mediumship is “always on”

Learning to set energetic boundaries for safety and sanity

The emotional impact of seeing spirits—and knowing when to switch off

Why the purpose of mediumship is healing, not entertainment

Bel’s contemplation of re-opening her full mediumship gifts

I also share upcoming episode themes, including the magic of salt and thought forms (egregores)—two deep dives into ancient metaphysical wisdom.

What if everything you’ve been chasing — success, security, meaning — was already within you?

In this episode, Bel Bare shares what took her 53 years, and losing almost everything, more than once, to finally understand. This is not a story about failure; it’s a revelation about presence, appreciation and the way we spend the one currency that can never be replaced: time.

Through her lived experience, Bel speaks about how to come back to the present moment, how to rediscover joy after loss, and how to build a life that feels sacred, not just busy.

Watch or listen until the end — the truths she shares may change how you move through your day, your relationships, and your sense of self.
