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.

In this episode, Steph and Lizzy sit down with the incredible Rachel Patterson, an English kitchen witch, High Priestess and author of over 30 books on witchcraft. Together they explore what it means to rediscover the roots of English witchcraft, from ancient deities and folk magick to the everyday rituals that bring magick into our homes.

Rachel shares her journey from discovering witchcraft in her twenties to becoming one of the most respected voices in the modern pagan community. The conversation touches on kitchen witchery, dragon magick, working with the land and finding power in simplicity and connection.

A heartfelt thank you to Rachel for joining us in the studio and sharing her wisdom and warmth.

In this special follow-up episode, we're sitting down to reflect on our visit to Burley, the Witches’ Village, the location of our most-watched video and the place that brought so many of you to our channel. 

We’ve had loads of messages asking us to talk more about our time there, so we’re sharing what we saw, how it felt, and what it meant to us. From Sybil Leek’s legacy to the magickal energy of the forest, this is a deeper dive into the stories, synchronicities, and moments that stayed with us long after we left.

In this episode we explore the Witch Wound, the deep, ancestral trauma carried through generations of women and witches since the time of the witch trials. From Salem to Scotland, from persecution to patriarchy, we uncover how the Witch Wound still manifests today: fear of being seen, imposter syndrome, competition, judgement, and betrayal.

Together we discuss how this collective wound shows up in modern witchcraft and spirituality, and share ways to begin healing the Witch Wound, through boundaries, journaling, forgiveness, sisterhood, and reclaiming our power as witches.

What is real magick and what does it truly mean to live a life rooted in the occult?

In this episode, we sit down with Francesca Way, a tarot reader, occultist, mystic, and modern magician for an honest and grounded conversation about the world of occultism, spiritual practice, and what magick really is in the modern world.

We explore tarot, symbolism, ritual, and how Francesca approaches magick as a personal and transformative experience, not performance or illusion.

✨

A huge thank you to Francesca Way for sharing her time, energy, and insight with us and to the wonderful team at The Haunted Bookshop in Bristol for kindly hosting this episode in their magical space.
