In this episode of Embracing Magick, Steph and Lizzy are joined by a returning guest Leonie for an honest conversation about witchcraft community, belonging and the importance of finding people who understand your spiritual path.

Whether you're a solitary witch, part of a coven or simply exploring witchcraft for the first time, we discuss how community can deepen your practice, inspire personal growth and remind you that you are never truly alone. From local witchcraft events and pagan gatherings to online communities, we explore the many different ways to connect with like-minded people while staying true to your own path.

We also talk openly about social anxiety, neurodivergence, feeling like an outsider and how finding the right community can transform not only your witchcraft practice but your wellbeing too.

A huge thank you to Leonie for joining us again and sharing her experiences so openly and honestly. We're so grateful to have you back for another beautiful conversation.

In this episode of Embracing Magick, we explore the history, symbolism and experience of the sacred drum. From ancient traditions and communal gatherings to modern spiritual practice, we discuss why drumming continues to resonate so deeply with people today.

Join us as we explore the connection between rhythm, trance, community, healing and the human experience. We share our own journeys with the drum, discuss its place within witchcraft and folk traditions, and explore why so many cultures have viewed it as far more than just a musical instrument.

In this episode we’re joined by Lily, also known as Mystic Primrose, for a candid conversation about intuitive witchcraft, social media, spell work and the reality of practising magic in the modern world.

From chaotic candle mishaps and solitary rituals to the pressure of constantly creating online, Lily opens up about how her journey into witchcraft began, how Mystic Primrose grew into a huge online community and why she believes there is no “perfect” way to practise.

We explore the impact social media has had on witchcraft, the rise of online spiritual spaces, misinformation, comparison culture, fake accounts, and the importance of trusting your own intuition over rigid rules.

Join us for a beautifully grounding conversation as we sit down with Megan from Terra Foraging to explore cottage witchcraft, foraging and living in tune with the seasons.

From wild food and kitchen witchcraft to house spirits and the deeper connection between land and practice, this episode is a gentle reminder of the magic that already exists all around us.

Megan shares her journey into foraging, how it shapes her daily life, and why reconnecting with nature can completely shift the way we see the world. We also dive into folklore, seasonal rhythms  and the simple ways you can begin incorporating wild food and nature into your own practice.

Thank you to Megan for joining us and sharing her knowledge, energy, and passion with such openness.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to slow down, step outside, and reconnect with something more natural, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Embracing Magick, Toni and Lizzy sit down for an honest conversation about finding hope when life feels overwhelming.

From burnout, exhaustion and difficult world events to emotional heaviness and disconnection from practice, they explore how witchcraft can gently support you through darker seasons. Not as escapism, but as grounding. As presence. As a way to stay connected to yourself, your body and your community.

Together they talk about small daily rituals, tending your inner flame, working with the seasons, managing anger and grief, and how simple practices like candle work, journaling, nature connection and sharing circles can help you stay steady when everything feels uncertain.

This episode is for anyone who feels tired, lost or spiritually disconnected and wants practical, meaningful ways to reconnect with their craft and themselves.

Disclaimer: This episode reflects our personal experiences and perspectives and is shared for conversation and reflection, not as medical or mental health advice. Everyone’s healing journey is different and if you are navigating mental health challenges, seeking support from a qualified professional should always be your first point of call.

In this episode, Steph and Toni are joined by Lenna to explore why so many people are being drawn towards witchcraft, plant medicine, embodiment and alternative ways of healing and why awakening is rarely the gentle, blissful experience it’s often portrayed as.

This is an honest wide-ranging conversation about collective and personal trauma, nervous system regulation, healing culture and the dangers of quick-fix spirituality. Lenna shares her journey into witchcraft, her experience of plant medicine and the long process of integration that followed, alongside a grounded discussion on trauma-informed practice, embodiment and learning to listen to the body.

We talk about nature as teacher, the role of ritual and seasonality, the impact of collective events on awakening and why healing is not about bypassing discomfort but learning to move slowly, safely and with self-responsibility.

This episode is for anyone who has felt unsettled after an awakening, unsure where they fit, or wary of labels and spiritual trends. It’s a reminder that healing is individual, nonlinear and deeply human.

In this episode, Steph and Lizzy sit down with Daisy and Rebecca, co-creators of COVEN: The Musical - a powerful new show inspired by the women accused during the Pendle Witch Trials.

Together, they discuss the history that shaped the show, the challenges of giving a voice to the forgotten and how theatre and music can reclaim stories long overshadowed by fear and persecution. COVEN explores power, sisterhood and the enduring resonance of those labelled as witches.

A huge thank you to Daisy and Rebecca for joining us and to the Kiln Theatre for this exciting collaboration.
