  • S5 E1: How to practice shadow work

    Welcome to season 5 of The Empowered Modern Witches Show! Thank you for being a listener, whether you are brand new to the podcast or have been listening for years.

    We are starting the new season with a juicy topic: what is shadow work, why it's an essential practice for most witches, and practical, actionable ways to actually DO shadow work, (a very common question I get all the time!) I'm covering:

    • My working definition of shadows and shadow work - the process of becoming aware of a shadow, acknowledging it, and working to understand it
    • Magick for releasing, integrating, and transmuting shadows once you understand them
    • Plant and crystal allies to work with for shadow work
    • Identifying shadows in your astrology chart through the 8th and 12th houses, Chiron, and Black Moon Lilith
    • Working with your astrology chart including the moon, Lilith, and dark goddess asteroids to support you in shadow work
    • Dropping tons of powerful gems in this one!

      Want even more juicy discussion of shadow work? I'll be in conversation with other amazing witches about this during one of our live panel discussions in the 4th annual Empowered Modern Witches Summit!  The summit is taking place online September 18-22, 2023 and it is completely free to attend!

      • The four main moon phases (new moon, waxing moon/first quarter moon, full moon, waning moon/last quarter moon)
      • How to break the lunar cycle down further into eight moon phases or even nine, including crescent moons, gibbous moons, and the dark moon
      • The energy of each moon phase and how to use it for manifestation, self-care, or magick
      • What are blue moons (two full moons in a row in the same sign) and black moons (two new moons in a row in the same sign)
      • What are solar eclipses and lunar eclipses and how often do they occur
      • Your natal moon sign, house, and phase
      • Working with your lunar return, when the moon returns to the sign it was in when you were born each month

      • We are covering a lot of ground and the most essential things to know about moon phases and lunar astrology! Thanks for listening all season - we'll be back in early fall for season 5.

      • S4 E19: Animism, astrology, and herbalism with Sarah Corbett

        In this episode, I'm joined by Sarah Corbett, who is a Clinical Herbalist, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and traditional astrologer who is passionate about helping others come into relationship with the natural world. She is the founder of Rowan + Sage, where she shares handcrafted astrologically-aligned herbal products, works with clients in her clinical practice, and guides others on their plant path through educational programs and mentorship.

        Sarah and I had a great conversation where we defined animism, the worldview of seeing everything in the world around us as living and spirited, working with the spirits of the planets and plants, and seeing plants as emissaries of the planets themselves. We also touched on the powerful history of astrology and astroherbalism, dating back to Babylonian astrologers and physicians.

        5. S4 E17: How to work with astrology through plants and crystals

          In this episode, I'm sharing all about how you to bring the abstract, intellectual concepts of astrology down to earth, using real-world tools like plants, crystals, and tarot cards. Every sign in the zodiac is associated with an element, (fire, earth, air, or water), and an archetype or a character that embodies its energy.

          Plants, crystals, tarot cards, and even goddesses are also associated with elements and archetypes in this way, connecting them to the signs and planets in astrology. You can bring a particular tool, or "ally", into your life and spiritual practice in order to channel and harness the energy signature of a particular sign or planet or even to balance one out.

        6. S4 E16: Astrology 101: Understanding the planets and transits

          In this episode, I'm sharing all about how to understand one of the most complicated and confusing aspects of astrology: the transits. Transits is a very broad, catch-all term for pretty much anything the sun, moon, planets, and asteroids do - change signs, go retrograde, form aspects to one another, and more.

          I'm sharing my controversial opinions about which transits are important to pay attention to and which really don't matter that much, both collectively and based on your own chart. Plus, I'm also giving you the inside track on how to know which transits are most likely to be really impactful for you personally.

        10. S4 E12: Reframing tarot and The Emperor with Kir Beaux

          In this episode, I'm chatting with Kir Beaux, (they/ them), who is an Afro-Indigenous, Trans, Non-Binary Queer, psychic witch, and spiritual counselor. Kir offers Spirit channeling sessions and education via Pink Opal Magic.

          We talked all about The Emperor tarot card and how it is associated with Aries season, but reframed outside of the restricting patriarchal, capitalistic framework of the past. Rather than seeing The Emperor as this energy of authority, patriarchy, and being in charge of others, let's shift our focus to the true energy of Aries: inner, soul fire and taking up exactly as much space as we are meant to.

          We also touched on Kir's own tarot practice of reflection, checks and balances, and working with their guides for clarity.

          Want to learn more from Kir about The Emperor and using tarot this coming Aries season?

          Register for your free ticket to Awakening: the 2nd annual Empowered Modern Witches Festival! This free, all-virtual event will feature live and pre-recorded video sessions on everything from tarot and astrology to Human Design and moon magick and Kir will be doing a special collective tarot reading and presentation on The Emperor card.
