Welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast- 'Witching in the 21 Century'

In this 73rd episode- a 'Solitary Witch' episode of TBWP, the host Swailes explores the magic and science behind spoken words, sharing personal stories about language, manifestation, and mental health. She discusses how words shape reality, referencing witchcraft, neurodiversity, and neuroscience, and reflects on a transformative week of silence in 2011 that shaped her understanding of her own language.

Swailes emphasizes intentional, positive speech, the pitfalls of capitalism, and the importance of self-kindness. Humorous interjections from friends add warmth. Listeners are encouraged to use words as tools for healing, empowerment, and magic, making this episode a thoughtful blend of personal insight, practical advice, and spiritual wisdom.
