The White Witch Podcast

Hello Witches

In this episode I’m joined by astrologer Rebecca Lovatt to explore how our birth charts can act as maps of potential energy, helping us understand ourselves more deeply and move through life with greater awareness.

Rather than seeing astrology as prediction or fate, Rebecca speaks about the birth chart as a language of timing and personal design — a framework that can help us recognise our natural rhythms, strengths and challenges.

We also explore how planetary transits can act as triggers for growth, healing and self-reflection. When understood consciously these periods can be approached with support, patience and nervous system awareness rather than fear or reaction.

This conversation moves astrology away from rigid forecasts and into something far more useful - a tool for self-knowledge, compassion and conscious action.

In this episode we explore -

Affectionately known as the “astrologer next door" and translating the stars from the edge of ancient Sherwood Forest, Becky is an astrologer, Human Design guide, and space-holder for people moving through change, healing, and remembering who they are. With one foot firmly on the ground with all that earthy chart energy and another in the deep waters with an 8th house moon, she brings practical clarity, warmth, and a steady presence to the often raw but transformative parts of your story. Becky uses her human design, astrological and somatic tools to support individuals, therapists, practitioners, and sensitive souls who are ready to understand their blueprint, honour their cycles, and walk their path with more self compassion and ease. Working to bring you back to a deeper understanding of yourself, through the lens of individuality and authenticity in a person centred, therapeutically aligned way.

Hello Witches

In this episode, I’m joined by Molly Donlan, author of Mundane Magick and host of the Demystifying Magic podcast for a conversation that bridges science, psychology and practical witchcraft.

We explore how magic does not sit in opposition to science but can be understood through psychological, neurological and behavioural frameworks.

Molly shares how her own magical practice transformed her mental health and why ritual can be particularly supportive for neurodiverse minds especially when it comes to task initiation, executive function and reducing resistance to everyday life.

This is a grounded conversation about making witchcraft livable, accessible and genuinely helpful. In this episode we look at why science and witchcraft are not at odds, the psychological explanations for spellwork and ritual, how magical framing supports executive functioning and task initiation, the relationship between productivity and wellbeing, why small, intentional rituals can be more powerful than elaborate ceremonies, ADHD-friendly magical mind hacks that reduce resistance, the serious depth behind cozy witchcraft, using spell work for everyday tasks including Full Moon chore charts and how energy healing your space shifts your internal and external environment.

Hello Witches

Often referred to as the Mother Plant it has become one of the most sought after spiritual experiences in the modern world. Roman’s work invites us to look beyond the visions, beyond the mysticism and into something far more important - integration, nervous system safety, humility and sovereignty.

Together we explore why peak mystical experiences are not the same as embodied transformation, the difference between insight and real, lived integration and the risks of chasing ceremony after ceremony.

This conversation is not about romanticising plant medicine but about how true transformation is not found in the ceremony alone but how you choose to live once you return.

Ayahuasca is a powerful psychoactive substance and carries significant physical and psychological risks. This episode is for educational and reflective purposes only. If you are considering plant medicine please research thoroughly, seek qualified medical advice and prioritise your safety and mental wellbeing.

If you are considering an ayahuasca ceremony I highly recommend Roman's book - you may also want to consider the following journal prompts. The book also has a number of exercises you can work through.

Where in my life am I mistaking intensity for growth?

What would true integration look like in my day-to-day behaviour?

How can I build nervous system safety before seeking expansion?

In this episode, we meet Morana, the Slavic goddess of winter, death and necessary endings. She governs the season when the land grows quiet, when the sun weakens and when life turns inward. In traditional belief, winter marked a descent toward Nav the realm of the dead and Morana presided over this liminal threshold.

We explore her role in rites including the burning or drowning of her effigy to symbolically release winter and welcome renewal. We also look at her deeper associations with dark waters, rivers and crossings — spaces long understood as boundaries between worlds. As a goddess of necessary endings Morana speaks to grief, burnout, identity shifts and the pauses that precede transformation.

Hello Witches

This episode has been one of my favourites to research and was something I discovered last month whilst working on the Angels theme for my Patreon, The Hedge & Hollow.

In this episode I explore The Book of Raziel where language, timing, planets, angels and intention were understood as part of a single living system.

We look at the idea of words as vibration, sacred names and why the Hebrew letters were treated as energetic forces rather than symbols. I talk about how this tradition connects to the 72 Names of God, spell timing, planetary days and the correspondences modern witches still work with, often without realising how old these systems truly are (I know I had no idea!).

We also touch on the lineage that flows from Raziel through Adam, Enoch, Noah and Solomon and how this current eventually shaped medieval grimoires, Renaissance magic and later systems like the Golden Dawn.

There are so many future episodes to come off the back of this topic following the thread of King Solomon, The Rosicrucians, The Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley and Boleskine Lodge.

Hello Witches

In today’s episode we journey through December folklore, peeling back the Christian veils to reveal the older stranger magic beneath.

From there, we descend into the symbolism of the sickle — a tool of harvest, severing and fate. We explore its mythic lineage through Morana, Mokosh, Cronus, Saturn, the Grim Reaper and the Druidic priesthood. You will hear about the magical uses of sickles across Europe, their protective and banishing powers and how you might weave this ancient blade into your own witchcraft practice today.

We close with a look at Mothers’ Night (Modranicht) — the Anglo-Saxon celebration honouring ancestral mothers, protective spirits and the deep feminine that presides over midwinter. Also includes some simple, meaningful ways to honour this sacred night in your personal craft.

On today’s episode I am joined by Brianna — known online as The Grey Witch — a Romany witch whose craft is rooted deeply in old-world folk magic, land-based practice, and ancestral tradition. Brianna is one of the most authentic witches I have ever had the honour of speaking with. Her connection to the land is fierce and lifelong, and she approaches every aspect of her craft with honesty, integrity and devotion. She does not shy away from difficult conversations, and her willingness to share even a glimpse into her lineage feels incredibly sacred.

We begin by exploring how Brianna was taught witchcraft through her family line, including traditional fortune-telling methods passed down through generations. She speaks about crystal ball reading, divination with playing cards, and the ways her ancestors taught her to see, sense and interpret signs. Brianna also shares stories of how she has supported her community — helping farmers with their crops, performing spellwork for those seeking guidance, and calling upon her spiritual court, including a powerful spirit known as The Rider, who she describes in depth. One of my favourite parts of this conversation was hearing how she works with the sickle as a magical tool, both symbolically and practically.

We also explore Brianna’s use of animal remains within her craft — a topic she approaches with complete reverence. She works only with animals already sacrificed for food, honouring every part of their body in accordance with ancestral custom. Nothing is taken lightly. Nothing is wasted. Her approach reflects a form of witchcraft that is deeply rooted in reciprocity and respect, far removed from modern farming systems and very aligned with how our ancestors lived in relationship with the land.

Another fascinating thread in this episode is how Brianna weaves her Catholic faith through her folk magic. She speaks about saints, spirits and symbols with the same natural ease that many witches speak about herbs or lunar phases. Her practice mirrors the syncretic paths of many folk practitioners throughout history — blending spiritual frameworks with land magic, lineage and personal devotion.

Romany witchcraft is a deeply closed and protected practice, and I am profoundly grateful that Brianna chose to share what she could with us. Her openness, wisdom and trust make this a rare and incredibly special conversation. If you would like to explore her work further, please do check out her website and social platforms. She also has a folk magic course coming in 2026 for those who feel called to learn from her.

NOVEMBER ON PATREON – THE WITCH & THE ANGELIC REALM

After the deep descent of Samhain, November arrives like a breath of light. This month we turn our gaze upward toward the radiant realms of the Angels.

Angels are not bound by religion. They are frequencies of divine intelligence — messengers of light, guardians of the heart, and allies in both healing and manifestation. Their presence reminds us that even in darkness, light is always near.

Throughout November, we will be working with the Angelic Current — inviting clarity, protection and peace into our energy fields as we prepare for winter’s stillness. Expect soft golds, feathers, candlelight and celestial calm as we weave witchcraft with higher guidance.

This is a month of softening, listening, and remembering that you are always held in light. Let the angels speak through your intuition, your dreams, and your everyday magic.

This month includes –

A deep exploration of the Angelic Realm and how witches can work with angels outside of dogma

Guided meditation to meet your Guardian Angel

Magick and teachings on the seven Archangels

Journal prompts to discover your guiding angel

Angelic healing practices for aura cleansing and energy renewal

A ritual for Angelic Manifestation and opening to miracles

A tarot spread for divine guidance

A soft celestial-inspired printable poster for your altar or journal

By the end of November, you will have –

A clear understanding of angelic energies and how to work with them as a witch

A strengthened connection with your Guardian Angel

Practices for angelic healing, protection and peace

Tools for divine manifestation and intuitive guidance

A deeper sense of being supported, guided and held as winter approaches

Join me for November’s journey – https://patreon.com/TheHedgeandHollow?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

As winter’s quiet deepens, our November circle invites us to rise into the light. This gathering centres on angelic connection and higher guidance.

Together we will step into the frequency of divine love, exploring how angels and luminous beings communicate through intuition, signs and energy.

What to expect –

Energy Cleansing and Light Activation — a guided journey to release the residue of the year and awaken your inner radiance, calling upon Michael for protection and Raphael for healing

Channelled Journaling — messages of peace, purpose and hope from your angels or higher self

Divination — a shared card pull to receive angelic insight for the season ahead

Closing in Light — sealing your energy in protection and anchoring the peace of angelic presence within your aura

Access through The Witches Who Run With The Wolves tier. Replay available the next day.
