The Embracing Magick Podcast

In this special episode, we’re joined by Molly Donlan, author of Mundane Magic, to explore how we can bring witchcraft into the everyday. From morning coffee and cleaning the house to working with intention, overcoming overwhelm and finding magic in the things we already do.

A huge thank you to Molly for joining us and sharing such a wonderfully practical approach to everyday magick ✨

In this episode of Embracing Magick, Steph and Lizzy are joined by author and initiated Greek priestess Elyse Welles for a fascinating conversation about ancient Greek spirituality, sacred land, deities and what it means to reconnect with practices and knowledge that have existed for thousands of years.

Elyse shares her experiences of initiation, working with spirits of place and the Greek gods, encounters at sacred sites, the relationship between witchcraft and the land, and some extraordinary personal experiences along the way - including the moment she felt a dragon step onto her chest.

We explore what the ancient world can teach modern witches, the ways the land communicates with us, forgotten priestess traditions, sacred places and why these old relationships with the natural world may still have something important to teach us today.

A huge thank you to Elyse for coming on Embracing Magick and sharing her knowledge, stories and experiences so openly with us. 🖤

In this special episode of Embracing Magick, we sit down with Amy from Amy’s Crypt inside The Cage of St Osyth, the historic village lock-up long associated with the 1582 St Osyth witch trials.

Together, we explore witchcraft, paranormal investigation and the memory of place. Can buildings absorb the emotions and experiences of the people who once lived, suffered or were imprisoned within them? And can remembrance, ritual and restoration begin to change the energy a place carries?

Amy shares the extraordinary story of becoming the custodian of The Cage, the strange signs that appeared before she and Jared bought it, the paranormal activity experienced during its restoration, and her connection with Ursula Kemp, the local healer who was accused of witchcraft and executed during the St Osyth witch trials.

We also discuss responsible paranormal investigation, the relationship between witchcraft and spirit communication, haunted history, the persecution of accused witches, and the importance of restoring dignity to the real people behind these stories.

During our visit, Amy invited us to create a ceremony and altar inside The Cage to honour Ursula, Elizabeth Bennet and all those affected by the witch trials. We share how the ceremony came together through cleansing, veiling, elemental offerings, remembrance and an unbinding ritual created specifically for the space.

A huge thank you to Amy and Jared for welcoming us into The Cage, sharing its history with us and trusting us to create something so meaningful within its walls. It was a privilege to spend time in this extraordinary place and contribute to the next chapter of its story.

In this episode, we sit down for an honest conversation about spiritual ego, gatekeeping, plagiarism, performative spirituality and the growing pressure to become an "expert" in online spiritual spaces.

What does it really mean to hold space for others? Where is the line between inspiration and imitation? How do we stay humble while continuing to learn? And how can we build communities that encourage curiosity instead of hierarchy?

This isn't about pointing fingers or claiming to have all the answers. It's a conversation about the challenges facing modern spiritual practice, the importance of questioning ourselves and why we believe authentic spirituality begins with humility, compassion and a willingness to keep learning.

Whether you're new to witchcraft or have been walking this path for years, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

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.

Whether you’re a practicing witch, someone curious about familiar spirits, or simply someone who has experienced a deep bond with an animal, this conversation reflects on the quiet magick that can exist between us and the creatures who walk beside us.
