| Witching Herbs, Forbidden Magick & Reclaiming Our Wildness with Kaz Goodweather of Seed Sistas | 26 Oct 2026 | 00:51:48 | |
Content warning: This episode contains explicit language and frank discussions of sex, self-pleasure, female anatomy and trauma. We also discuss highly poisonous plants. The conversation is for exploration and education, not instructions for preparing or using them. What if some of the most feared and misunderstood plants have extraordinary stories to tell us about our own power? In this episode of A Pinch of Magick, I'm joined by Kaz Goodweather from Seed Sistas, co-author of Witches' Forbidden Herbs, to explore the fascinating world of belladonna, henbane, datura and mandrake. We uncover the connections between witching herbs, ancient healing traditions and the historical suppression of women's knowledge. We also venture into the folklore of flying ointments, broomsticks, sacred sexuality and reclaiming pleasure without shame. Kaz shares her personal experiences of working with these plants, including how belladonna helped her reclaim her energy, and why developing a relationship with the natural world can be such a powerful magickal practice. We also explore the importance of slowing down, trusting our instincts and paying attention to the plants growing right on our doorstep. This is a conversation about reconnecting with nature, questioning inherited beliefs and embracing our own wild, intuitive and unapologetically magickal selves. Links and resources

| The Magick of Delight: Rediscovering Pleasure, Sensation and the Body's Capacity to Receive | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:32:16 | |
When was the last time you noticed something simply because it felt good? The warmth of sunlight on your skin. The first mouthful of something delicious. Clean sheets. A favourite scent. Music that makes your body want to move. The feeling of taking off uncomfortable shoes at the end of the day. We often become most aware of our bodies when something is wrong. Pain demands attention, exhaustion becomes impossible to ignore, hunger interrupts what we're doing, and discomfort eventually forces us to respond. But the body is also where we experience delight. In this episode of A Pinch of Magick, we're exploring pleasure as an essential and often overlooked part of physical self-care, and what happens when we begin allowing ourselves to receive more of the life that's already reaching us. Because pleasure doesn't have to be enormous, expensive or saved for special occasions. It exists in warmth, texture, taste, scent, sound, movement, beauty, comfort and all those tiny sensory encounters that bring us back into the immediacy of being here. And perhaps there's something particularly magickal about learning to notice them. Magick asks us to become skilled at intention, manifestation and directing our energy towards what we want to create, yet receiving matters too. When warmth, beauty, pleasure, support or opportunity arrives, can we actually allow it to reach us? This episode is an invitation to explore your own sensory language of pleasure, to discover what genuinely feels nourishing to your particular body, and to make more room for experiences that remind you that being alive contains beauty as well as demand. In this episodeWe explore:
A different way of thinking about pleasure Pleasure doesn't always need to lead anywhere. We live in a culture that loves turning everything into an outcome. We walk for fitness. We rest so we'll be more productive. We eat for health. We spend time in nature for our wellbeing. We create because we need content. Even our spiritual practices can become another way of trying to achieve something. Sometimes you can walk because you want to feel the air. Eat something because it's delicious. Touch the bark of a tree because you love how it feels beneath your hand. Listen to music because you enjoy it. Lie in the sunshine because warmth feels wonderful on your skin. The experience can be complete while it's happening. You are allowed to enjoy something simply because it is enjoyable. This week's magickal practiceFor the next week, notice one physical experience each day that feels good. You don't need to create it especially, it may already be happening. The warmth of the water when you wash your hands. A breeze through an open window. The smell of your morning coffee. The texture of something you're wearing. The first taste of breakfast. The sensation of stretching. The moment you climb into bed. When you notice it, stay with the experience for just one breath longer than you usually would. Let your body register it and receive it, because this isn't really about collecting pleasurable experiences. You're practising your capacity to receive, which is as important within magick as your ability to direct intention. | |||
| The Magick of Enough: Why You Don't Have to Earn Your Rest | 07 Aug 2026 | 00:23:47 | |
When do you allow yourself to stop? When you first notice that you’re tired, or when you’ve reached the point where you simply can’t keep going? For many of us, rest comes with conditions. We’ll stop when the work is finished, when everyone else has what they need, when we’ve answered the messages, completed the jobs and proved, somehow, that we’ve done enough to deserve a break. The problem is that life rarely reaches that point. In this episode of A Pinch of Magick, we’re exploring rest, capacity, and the deeply embedded belief that care has to be earned. We’ll look at why capacity changes from day to day, why the energy we use isn’t always visible from the outside, and what happens when we continually measure ourselves against an imaginary version of ourselves who always has the same energy, enthusiasm and ability to cope. We’ll also explore rest as part of magickal living, because when we already understand that Moons wax and wane, seasons turn, tides change and the natural world moves through cycles of growth, harvest, dormancy and renewal, perhaps we can begin allowing our own bodies to have rhythms too. And perhaps there is a particular kind of magick in being able to say: What I have done today is enough. In this episode
This week’s invitation At some point this week, experiment with stopping before you absolutely have to. Leave something until tomorrow. Choose the easier option. Ask for help before you’re desperate. Let the meal be simple. Allow something you’ve been working on to be complete enough. Then notice what happens. Perhaps you’ll feel relieved. Perhaps you’ll immediately think of everything you could still be doing. Perhaps stopping will feel surprisingly uncomfortable. Whatever comes up, become curious about it. You may be encountering an old rule about what makes you worthy of rest, and every time you choose to respond differently, you give your body another piece of evidence that care is allowed before crisis. You might even create a simple closing ritual for the end of your day: close the laptop, put your work away, change the lighting, wash your hands, step outside, or simply say: “What I have done is enough for today.” Because sometimes power is found in how much we can carry. And sometimes it’s found in knowing when to put something down. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: iPhone - download on the App Store Android - download on the Google Play Our (free) Magickal Communities: Join Us Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here | |||
| The Magick of Ordinary: Things Why the Smallest Acts of Care Matter Most | 29 Jul 2026 | 00:27:32 | |
Why do we so often search for complicated answers when our body is asking for something beautifully simple? A glass of water. A nourishing meal. A walk around the block. An earlier night. Making the appointment we've been putting off. In this episode of A Pinch of Magick, we're exploring the ordinary foundations of physical self-care and why these everyday acts deserve far more attention than we often give them. Within magickal and spiritual spaces, it's easy to be drawn towards rituals, oracle cards, meditation and energy work, yet our experience of all of those practices is shaped by something much more fundamental: the condition of the body we bring to them. As the episode explores, our spiritual experience is not separate from the physical conditions of the body. Together we'll look at nourishment, hydration, sleep, movement, comfort, sensory regulation, practical support and the small preparations that make caring for ourselves easier when life becomes busy or overwhelming. Rather than striving for an impossible vision of perfect self-care, this conversation invites you to discover how the smallest acts of support can become some of the most profound expressions of everyday magick. Because perhaps the most magickal thing you can do today isn't another ritual, perhaps it's simply giving your body what it has been quietly asking for all along. In this episode
This week's invitation As you move through the week, choose just one area where your body could feel a little more supported. It might be drinking more water, preparing a nourishing meal, making an appointment you've been postponing, taking a short walk, getting to bed a little earlier, or simply creating a more comfortable space to rest. Ask yourself: What would help my body feel a little more supported today? Then begin there. Just one small act of care that makes life a little easier for the person you are today. Because those ordinary moments are rarely insignificant. They become the foundations that allow you to show up more fully for your work, your relationships, your creativity and your magick. Continue the conversationIf this episode resonated with you, come and continue the practice inside the A Pinch of Magick app, where you'll find journal prompts, guided practices, seasonal reflections and gentle rituals to help you weave more presence and intention into everyday life. And if you've enjoyed this episode, consider following the podcast and leaving a review. Every rating and review helps these conversations reach more people who are longing to build a more compassionate relationship with themselves. Until next time, remember that magick isn't always found in extraordinary moments. Sometimes it's found in the glass of water waiting beside your bed, the meal you remembered to eat, the walk you almost didn't take, or the choice to finally rest. Because ordinary care has always been sacred. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: iPhone - download on the App Store Android - download on the Google Play Our (free) Magickal Communities: Join Us Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here | |||
| The Magick of the Body Saying 'No': What Happens When You Finally Listen Instead of Push Through | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:37:55 | |
What if self-care isn't really about comfort at all? What if it's about creating enough safety within yourself that you can fully experience your life? In this episode of A Pinch of Magick, we're exploring the relationship between the body, the nervous system, and the way we move through the world. When we feel constantly rushed, overwhelmed, exhausted or under pressure, it becomes much harder to access the parts of ourselves that help us feel alive, including our intuition, creativity, curiosity, joy and sense of wonder. Many of us have become so accustomed to living in a state of busyness that we no longer recognise what it feels like to be settled. We push through tiredness, ignore the signals our bodies are sending us, and assume that feeling permanently stretched is simply part of modern life. Yet our bodies are continually responding to the environments we inhabit, the conversations we have, the pace we keep, and the care we either receive or deny ourselves. Together, we'll explore why the simplest acts of physical care are often the foundations that support everything else, and how creating moments of safety throughout the day can change the way we experience both ourselves and the world around us. This isn't about withdrawing from life or trying to eliminate every source of stress. It's about recognising that when your body feels supported, you have more capacity to meet life with presence, resilience and openness. In this episode
This week's invitation Over the next few days, begin noticing the moments when your body softens. Perhaps it's after taking a deep breath, sitting in the sunshine, walking beneath trees, drinking a warm cup of tea, or sharing time with someone who helps you feel at ease. Equally, notice the moments when your shoulders tense, your breathing becomes shallow, or you feel yourself rushing without realising it. Rather than judging these experiences, become curious about them. Ask yourself: What helps me feel more settled, supported and safe in this moment? You don't need to solve everything at once. One small act of care, repeated consistently, can begin changing the relationship you have with your body and with yourself. Continue the conversationIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love to invite you to continue the practice inside the A Pinch of Magick app, where you'll find companion journal prompts, guided practices, seasonal reflections and a welcoming community exploring how everyday acts of care can become everyday acts of magick. And if you enjoyed today's episode, please consider following the podcast and leaving a review. Every rating and review helps these conversations reach more people who are longing to live with greater presence, connection and intention. Next time, we'll explore what happens when we stop expecting ourselves to feel the same every day and begin listening to the changing rhythms of our own lives. Until then, be gentle with yourself. Sometimes the most powerful act of magick is creating enough safety to simply be. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: iPhone - download on the App Store Android - download on the Google Play Our (free) Magickal Communities: Join Us Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here | |||
| The Magick of Embodiment: Rediscovering the Body as the Place Where Everyday Magick Begins | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:19:29 | |
How often do you move through an entire day without really noticing your body? Many of us spend our lives living from the neck up, caught in our thoughts, planning our next task, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities, while the body quietly keeps us moving forward. We notice it when something hurts, when we're exhausted, or when it demands our attention, but rarely as the place through which we experience our lives. In this episode of A Pinch of Magick, we're exploring what it means to come back into relationship with your body, not as something to fix, change or perfect, but as the place where intuition, creativity, presence, joy and everyday magick are experienced. Together we'll explore why caring for the body isn't separate from a meaningful or spiritual life, why so many of us become disconnected from our physical selves, and how small moments of awareness can begin transforming the way we experience each day. This isn't about chasing the perfect wellness routine or adding more to your already busy life. It's about beginning to notice. Listening a little more closely. Responding with kindness rather than criticism. Learning that the relationship you have with your body shapes every other relationship you have, including your relationship with the world around you. In this episode
This week's invitation Over the next few days, don't try to transform yourself. Instead, simply notice. Pause several times throughout the day and ask yourself: What is my body telling me right now? Perhaps you need to stretch after sitting for too long. Perhaps you're thirsty, tired, overwhelmed, or simply craving a few moments outside. There is no right answer, only an opportunity to become a little more aware of the quiet conversation your body has been having with you all along. The practice isn't about getting it right. It's about beginning the relationship. Continue the conversationIf this episode resonated with you, I'd love to invite you to continue the practice inside the A Pinch of Magick app, where you'll find companion reflections, journal prompts, guided practices and a supportive community exploring how small, intentional acts can help us create lives that feel more connected, grounded and magickal. And if you enjoyed today's conversation, please consider following the podcast and leaving a review. It helps more people discover these conversations and allows our community to continue growing. Until next time, remember that magick doesn't ask you to become someone else, it invites you to come home to yourself. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: iPhone - download on the App Store Android - download on the Google Play Our (free) Magickal Communities: Join Us Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here | |||
| The Magick That Holds Everything Together: Why Self-Care Is the Foundation of a Magickal Life | 30 Mar 2026 | 00:25:57 | |
Most of us are keeping up with our lives reasonably well, and yet something still feels slightly off, and we can experience a low-level sense of being stretched, or of running alongside your own life rather than truly inside it. This episode explores why that happens, why the way we've been taught to think about self-care so often makes it worse, and what it actually means to build a life that genuinely supports you from the inside out. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: iPhone - download on the App Store Android - download on the Google Play Our (free) Magickal Communities: Join Us Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here | |||
| Permission to Play: Witchcraft, Wisdom, and Remembering You Were Always Magickal | 13 Feb 2026 | 01:22:15 | |
In today's episode, I'm, joined by Maisie as we talk about labels, lineage, witchcraft, druidry, play, grief, learning, motherhood, ageing, and the quiet rebellion of choosing joy and wonder in a world that often tells us to grow up, get sensible, and stop believing in magick. Do I call myself a witch? And what does that even mean? Maisie asks about labels. About the word witch. About hesitation, responsibility, history, and whether claiming a title feels empowering or heavy. I share my own relationship with the word, including its modern reclamation, its painful history as an accusation rather than an identity, and why I still choose to stand in it openly. Not because everyone should, but because visibility creates permission. We also talk about why some people feel more at home with words like druid, eclectic, or hedge, and why none of these need to be fixed forever. Structure, rhythm, and why we crave them after religion Maisie reflects on how A Pinch of Magick and the app provide structure without dogma, especially for those who’ve stepped away from organised religion. We talk about why humans need rhythm. Why cycles like the moon, seasons, and daily practices anchor us. And how magick can offer routine without control, and reverence without fear. We speak candidly about the witch wound. About fear, grief, and the reality that witchcraft accusations were rarely about power or wisdom, and far more often about vulnerability, misogyny, poverty, and control. I share reflections from historical research on cunning folk, muttering women, court records, and why the word witch still carries such emotional charge today. From marbles in a childhood box to red skies and shepherds’ warnings, we explore divination not as fortune-telling, but as humanity’s oldest way of making meaning. We talk about tarot, oracles, entrails, medicine, economics, and how prediction, pattern-reading, and intuition have always been part of everyday life. Maisie shares her experience of the Root Essence course (available in the app) and discovering her guiding phrase: magickal play. We talk about how knowing your root essence becomes a decision-making compass, especially when you’re prone to overthinking, self-judgement, or taking life too seriously. Our conversation turns to age, menopause, crone energy, and the relief of no longer needing permission. We talk about midlife as a second adolescence. A time of rebellion, wisdom, sovereignty, and deep discernment. A moment where life doesn’t narrow, but clarifies. . Everyday magick and reclaiming the mundaneFrom birthday candles and tooth fairies to hoovering with intention, we talk about how magick was never separate from daily life until it was made so. We explore how ordinary moments become sacred when approached symbolically. Cleaning. Cooking. Writing. Walking. Lighting a candle. Releasing energy. Maisie shares how embracing play, fandom, costuming, travel, and creative joy has become a form of resilience in a heavy world. We talk about holding rage in one hand and whimsy in the other. About joy as nourishment and bout choosing wonder as an act of quiet rebellion. Today's episode reminds you that if you’ve ever made a wish, noticed a sign, played pretend, or felt awe at the world around you, you were already participating in magick. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||
| Trusting the Descent: Art, Awakening, and Coming Home to Yourself | 05 Feb 2026 | 01:07:55 | |
On today's episode, I'm joined by Emily of @eccarterart, where we talk about spiritual awakening, grief, art as a portal, energetic sensitivity, and what happens when the life you were living can no longer hold who you are becoming. Spiritual awakening without the glitter Emily shares her experience of what is often called a “spiritual awakening” and how disorientating, overwhelming, and destabilising it can feel when it first arrives. We talk honestly about the fear of “going mad,” the need for frameworks, and the importance of support, therapy, and grounding alongside spiritual opening. Emily speaks about her journey from art teacher, to burnout, to loss, to becoming a spirit painter. We explore how art can become a language for energies, emotions, ancestors, and archetypes that have no other place to land. Emily shares about painting with eyes closed, using colour intuitively, and allowing spirit to lead rather than the rational mind. Art as relationship, trust, and listening. Trust as a lived practice A central theme of this episode is trust. Trusting intuition. Trusting the body. Trusting what is coming through, even when the logical mind resists. Emily shares how choosing trust led, improbably, to her first solo exhibition and how things began to move once she stopped trying to control the outcome. Energetic sensitivity and hygiene We spend time talking about energetic sensitivity, particularly in teaching, caregiving, and creative work. Emily reflects on how overwhelming it was to carry other people’s emotions in the classroom, and we explore the idea of energetic hygiene as essential, not indulgent. From visual “scraping” practices, to changing clothes, to salt baths and intention, we talk about simple ways of clearing what's not ours to carry. Where the body speaks We explore how the body communicates information. We talk about where different energies are felt, how meaning shows up somatically, and how over time the body becomes a reliable language rather than something to override. Gods, goddesses, and archetypal allies Emily shares her relationship with Medusa and Freya, and how these energies have been present throughout her life long before she had language for them. We talk about archetypes not as distant beings to worship correctly, but as energies that walk with us, protect us, challenge us, and help us reclaim parts of ourselves that were silenced or shamed. Nature, mud, and rejecting purity culture Our conversation ventures into land, forests, the sea, dirt, mud, and the deep discomfort I have with purity culture. We talk about how connection not being about cleanliness or perfection, but touch, mess, play, and remembering that we are of the earth, not above it. From forests and fungi to caves, sound, and ancient art, we explore creativity as a fundamentally human act rather than something reserved for the talented or trained. Coming out without being rejected Emily speaks candidly about the fear of being seen as “too much” or “too strange” once she began sharing her spiritual and artistic work, and the surprise of discovering that most people were not shocked at all, and how often the fear of being ourselves is far greater than the reality. This is an episode about honouring the slow, unglamorous work of becoming whole. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||
| The Web We Live In: Intention, Music, and Trusting the Invisible Threads | 25 Jan 2026 | 00:59:59 | |
In today's episode, Kamini joins me for a conversation about manifestation, synchronicity, and the subtle ways we communicate with the world around us, often without realising we’re doing it. This is one of those conversations that starts with a simple question and slowly opens out into something much bigger. We talk about intention, energetic connection, music as communication, destiny versus free will, and how magick often works through tiny moments of noticing. It’s a conversation for anyone who has ever thought, that felt like more than coincidence. In this episode we explore:Thinking of someone and then having them appear Kamini shares personal experiences of thinking about someone intensely, only for them to show up soon after through a message, an image, or an invitation to meet. We unpack whether this is coincidence, selective attention, or something more relational and energetic. I share how I understand this through the idea of energetic “data cables”, the invisible threads we form with people through connection, emotion, memory, and attention. The web of connection we’re always part of We explore the idea that we are constantly in communication with the world around us, not just through words, but through energy, presence, emotion, and focus. From walking into a room and sensing tension, to feeling calm around certain people, these are skills we already have, even if we’ve never named them as magick. A fleeting thought may dissolve quickly, but focused intention carries weight. We talk about how directed attention changes the quality of energy we send out, and why strong emotions like love, anger, longing, or grief feel so potent and hard to ignore. This is where magick, manifestation, and everyday psychology can overlap. Music as divination and communication One of my favourite threads in this episode is our exploration of music as a language the universe uses to speak to us. Kamini shares how certain songs appear at powerful moments, especially during travel or emotional transitions. I talk about using music as a divination tool, including the simple practice of asking for a message through the third song you hear in a day, and noticing what lands, whether that’s lyrics, memories, mood, or resonance. We explore how the universe doesn’t communicate in one fixed way. For some it’s music, for others numbers, animals, dreams, art, cards, or land. There’s no hierarchy here. What matters is relationship, not method. Trying to force a form of magick that doesn’t suit you often disconnects you from the one that does. Destiny, free will, and the tension between choice and pattern Kamini asks a big question: are our lives shaped by destiny, or are we co-creating everything as we go? I share my honest answer, which is that I don’t know, and that I live somewhere between the two. We talk about astrology, conditioning, choice, karma, and the feeling that some lessons insist on being lived, even when we can see the warning signs in advance. Rather than certainty, we arrive at curiosity, compassion, and the idea that responding consciously may matter more than knowing why something happened. We talk about how magick often asks for small steps rather than grand leaps. When we act, we receive feedback. When we don’t, we stay stuck in loops of analysis and indecision. I share why I believe clarity often follows action, not the other way around, and how trusting one small nudge can shift everything over time. This is a conversation that doesn’t try to explain the mystery away, but instead invites you to sit with it, listen more closely, and notice how the world already speaks to you. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||
| The Living Goddess: Land, Loss, and Learning to Belong Again | 11 Jan 2026 | 01:07:54 | |
In today's episode, I'm joined by Ruth for an exploration that begins with goddesses and gently unfolds into land, nature, grief, healing, paradox, and the quiet magick of being alive. 1. Do we choose goddesses, or do they emerge when we are ready? Ruth opens the conversation by reflecting on her work with goddesses across the Wheel of the Year, and the quiet confusion that can arise around “favourites,” loyalty, and doing devotion correctly. What emerges is a shared recognition that goddess energy is not hierarchical or exclusive, but fluid, embodied, and responsive. We explore reframing gods and goddesses as energies that rise from land, culture, and human need, meeting us in forms we can recognise, rather than demanding allegiance. 2. Goddess as landscape, not doctrine The conversation deepens into local goddesses, particularly Andraste, and how land-based deities feel different when encountered in place. Ruth speaks about walking by rivers, standing in landscapes, and feeling connection not through belief, but through presence. We talk about how goddess energies shift across time, culture, and human evolution, emerging in different guises as we need them, rather than remaining fixed or singular. 3. Releasing guilt from spiritual practice We dismantle the idea that devotion must be constant, perfect, or fear-driven. There's a clear rejection of punitive spirituality, whether religious or magickal. Relationships with goddesses, land, or ritual are described as cyclical, seasonal, and alive. The idea that missed rituals, forgotten candles, or inconsistent practices might invite punishment is named as inherited conditioning, not truth. 4. Rhythm, attention, and everyday magick The conversation turns toward daily practices: tarot, journaling, meditation, walking, noticing. We speak about the danger of turning spiritual tools into checklists, and Ruth reflects on how presence matters more than frequency. 5. Nature as a companion through illness and isolation Ruth shares her experience of living alone in nature during chemotherapy and lockdown. Stripped back physically and emotionally, she describes how land, trees, animals, and seasons became companions rather than scenery. From butterflies overwintering in outbuildings, to deer sleeping nearby, to trees marked with her birth year, nature is described as witness, mirror, and quiet ally during a time of profound vulnerability. 6. Bones, feathers, and respectful relationship The conversation moves towards skulls, bones, feathers, and instinctive boundaries. Ruth speaks about collecting skulls with permission and reverence, not as tools of power, but as companions and protectors. And I share my own discomfort with feathers, illustrating how intuitive limits are as important as intuitive pulls. There's no judgment here. Only curiosity, humour, and respect for how differently people relate to material allies. 7. Vastness, insignificance, and freedom Together, we talk on the vastness of the universe, deep time, evolution, and humanity’s smallness within it all. Rather than nihilism, this awareness brings relief. Perspective. Permission to make mistakes. Permission to live. 8. Becoming part of nature, not its manager We close with reflections on ageing, cronehood, and belonging. Ruth speaks about no longer fearing the dark, about sitting quietly in woods, releasing hedgehogs, and allowing nature to carry on around her. This is a conversation about remembering that we belong, even when we feel stripped bare. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||
| The Sacred Pause: Breath, Rhythm, and Living Magick in a Noisy World | 31 Dec 2025 | 01:07:15 | |
Today, I'm joined by Kim and we explore the meeting point between breathwork and magick, and how simple, rhythmic practices can quietly transform the way we move through an increasingly noisy world. This is a conversation about pausing, trusting embodied knowing, questioning inherited structures, and rediscovering magick as something we remember how to live. In this episode, we explore: 1. When breathwork meets magick Kim shares how learning breathwork as a professional modality has blurred the boundaries between her pagan identity and her working life. What emerges is a recognition that breath, meditation, ritual, and spellwork all share the same root: intentional attention. 2. The sacred pause as a site of transformation Breath is framed as a liminal practice. Inhale, pause, exhale. We discuss the parallel between breathing and walking a labyrinth, where the pause at the centre becomes the place where integration and change occur. This pause, mirrored in seasons, lunar cycles, and ritual, is named as the place where magick quietly works. 3. Rhythm over stillness We talk about the reality that stillness isn't always a safe space or even accessible for everyone. Breathwork, meditation, and ritual can be deeply powerful, but also confronting or overwhelming for those with trauma or sensory sensitivity. Walking, knitting, colouring, stitching, and repetitive handwork are offered as equally valid magickal practices. Rhythm, rather than silence, becomes the doorway. 4. Magick as relationship, not performance We reflect on how our magick has changed over time. Early practices often focused on structure, tools, and ritual. With experience, those patterns become embodied, held internally rather than performed externally. Magick is compared to cooking: first learned through recipes and rules, later practised through intuition, memory, and trust. 5. Questioning dogma, even in magickal spaces Discernment runs through this episode. From directions and elemental associations to teachers, lineages, and Instagram wisdom, We explore the importance of questioning where teachings come from and whether they truly align with our values. We explore how easy it is to step out of religious dogma only to find yourself inside a shinier version of the same structure. 6. Land, lineage, and lived experience I share stories of growing up in Cornwall, where tides, mist, weather, and seasonal flux shaped my understanding of the elements long before formal training. Witches, artists, herbs, and myth were woven into everyday life, not separated from it. Could Gods, goddesses, and archetypes be reframed as emergent from the landscape rather than imposed upon it? 7. Community, ritual, and the loss of shared touchstones The conversation turns to the decline of communal ritual spaces and the tension between online and in-person gatherings. While digital spaces offer accessibility and safety, something essential is still held in physical presence, shared breath, and human touch. Both honour the value of each, without idealising either. 8. Making as magick Knitting circles, tea-leaf reading, knot-tying, stitching, and making with the hands emerge as deeply magickal practices. Not because of what they produce, but because of the states they invite: focus, rhythm, connection, and story. Art, craft, and creation are named as spellwork in their own right. Join us for a conversation that offers permission to pause without stopping, to practise magick without labels, and to trust that presence itself is transformative. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||
| Reclaiming Magick: Divination, Art, and the Courage to Go Slowly | 19 Dec 2025 | 01:04:33 | |
Today I'm joined by Catherine for a chat about rediscovering magick, trusting intuition, and allowing creativity to unfold without pressure. I hope you enjoy it! In this episode we explore: 1. Reclaiming magick later in life Catherine shares her experience of returning to magick after years away. Once deeply connected as a child, she describes how religion and relationships pulled her off that path, and how she now feels a clear calling to reclaim her inherent magick. Not as something new, but as something remembered. Rebecca reframes the idea of being a “newbie witch,” emphasising that magick is not earned or bestowed but reclaimed. This conversation gently dismantles the idea that witchcraft requires lineage, expertise, or perfection, and instead centres embodiment, relationship, and presence. Together they trace divination far beyond tarot and oracle cards, exploring how humans have always sought meaning. From birds, bones, smoke, stars, and entrails, to modern medicine and prediction-based science, divination is revealed as our instinctive way of making sense of uncertainty. The conversation turns to how many of us were taught, as children, to override hunger, tiredness, discomfort, and intuition. Divination and ritual become ways of gently relearning self-trust and restoring a relationship with the body’s wisdom. From cleansing cards to asking permission before taking a deer bone, Catherine and Rebecca speak about reverence rather than rules. Cards, crystals, bones, and objects are framed not as tools to control outcomes, but as allies we build relationships with over time. Catherine reflects on learning to go slowly in this phase of her life. Gathering objects, thrifting intuitively, nesting into her practice, and allowing curiosity to lead rather than goals. Rebecca affirms that magick has no end point, no checklist, and no finish line. Art emerges as a central theme. Catherine shares how returning to painting after decades away has become part of her magickal rediscovery. Painting over old work, starting again, and allowing the process to lead mirrors her wider journey of becoming. Rebecca reflects on art as knowledge created through making, not output. From winter roses and unexpected tomatoes in December, to robins, daffodils, chalk pits, ancient skull sites, and dandelions breaking through concrete, this episode celebrates noticing as one of the most powerful magickal practices we have. The conversation closes with reflections on love, justice, protest magick, and discernment. Witchcraft is named as a path that does not deny anger or grief, but gives us ways to transmute them into action, boundaries, care, and change.
Join us for a conversation that invites you to exhale, to soften, and to remember that you do not need to know where you're going to walk a magickal path. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||
| Living Magick in the Real World: Intuition, Deconstruction, and the Courage to Come Home to Yourself | 08 Dec 2025 | 01:18:03 | |
PLEASE NOTE: Suicide is mentioned in this episode, as well as Cynthia's work as an advocate for female survivors of abuse. In today's conversation, I'm delighted to welcome Cynthia for the very first of our new community-centred episodes. Instead of traditional, more formal interviews, these gatherings invite you to sit with us as friends would, following curiosity, truth, and a little everyday enchantment wherever it wants to flow. I've never spoken one-to-one with Cynthia before, and what unfolded was a deeply honest exploration of intuition, leaving religion, finding your own path, and reclaiming magick as a way of being in the world. This episode is a tapestry of personal story, insight, humour, and the kind of grounded witchcraft that makes the mundane shimmer. In this episode, we explore:1. Cynthia’s powerful journey from evangelical Christianity to witchcraft Raised in a religious environment, Cynthia shares how early doubts, motherhood, and profound family experiences began to untangle her from doctrine and move her toward a more authentic spiritual life. Her father’s passing opened a deep reckoning about meaning, purpose, and the life she did not want to live. From the heart-pounding purchase of her first witchcraft book to recognising lifelong intuitive experiences, Cynthia describes the extraordinary relief of naming what had always been quietly true. We explore the nature of intuition, not as voices or visions but as a bone-deep knowing that often speaks before logic catches up. We share personal stories of “turn left instead” moments that proved profoundly important later. I also share how becoming a person of your word strengthens intuition and why not everything needs to be “proved” in order to be honoured. Cynthia speaks openly about the harm created by the religious masculinity she was raised with and the difficulty of allowing masculine energy in again. We explore a re-framing of masculine and feminine energies as archetypal and relational rather than gendered, hierarchical, or punitive. I share stories from my childhood in Cornwall, early magickal encounters, and how nature has always spoken to me. I also describe my priestess training, misconceptions around deities, and why I see gods and goddesses not as authorities but as beings in relationship and reciprocity. Together, we explore what is lost when people leave religion: not the dogma, but the communal rhythm, the shared practices, and the rituals that hold us during life’s thresholds. We talk about how magick can restore this sense of grounding through conscious pauses, seasonal rituals, and connection to the land. From enchanted stones to unexpected conversations at the front door of a courthouse, Cynthia shows how magick moves through the seemingly ordinary moments of life, opening paths of service, compassion, and courage. We close with a reminder that witchcraft honours cycles. Sometimes magick asks us to act, sometimes to rest. Unlike religious systems rooted in constant servitude, witchcraft grants permission to protect your energy and honour your own seasons. Why this episode matters This conversation is a lantern for anyone who is:
It's vulnerable, warm, wise, and deeply human. The kind of conversation that used to happen around kitchen tables or late at night with friends who “get it.” Join the conversation If you’d like to come on the show and share your own story or ask me your questions in real time, send a message on Instagram or drop me an email. These episodes are meant to feel like friends gathered around a hearth fire, sharing life, magick, and the courage to walk their own path. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||
| POWER Up Your Magickal Self | 06 Oct 2025 | 00:30:29 | |
What if your magickal power was never something to find, but something to remember? In this episode, we explore how to POWER up your magickal self, not through striving or control, but through presence, self-trust, and ritual. We'll explore the five energies of the P.O.W.E.R. framework: Presence, Owning, Wellbeing, Embodiment, and Ritual to help you reconnect with your magick in the middle of your everyday life. You’ll learn how to turn ordinary moments into sacred acts, reclaim your energy from what drains you, and embody your truth with quiet confidence. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about being more you. More rooted. More intentional. More magickal. I also share details of The Magickal Self, a 30-day ritual of reclamation, power, and becoming, and a special invitation to join the Samhain 30-Day Journey, an exclusive seasonal cycle for those ready to release, renew, and rise with the turning of the Wheel.

| The Magick of Beginnings (and Pauses) | 28 Sep 2025 | 00:38:48 | |
After three months of silence, the longest break in this podcast’s history, I’m back. But this pause wasn’t empty. It was a season of composting, of finishing my MA, and of stepping into the threshold of my PhD. In this episode, I share: ✨ Why pauses are not failures, but fertile ground for renewal ✨ What completing my MA has taught me about cycles of ending and beginning ✨ How the threshold of my PhD is reshaping what’s ahead for A Pinch of Magick ✨ The symbolic power of autumn’s descent and why release is radical magick ✨ The importance of honouring your own transitions This episode is both a re-introduction and a reminder: magick isn’t linear. It’s cyclical. Just like the seasons, our lives are woven with growth, fallow times, endings, and new beginnings. Whether you’re moving through a big life change, resting in a pause, or just craving more connection to the cycles of magick in your own life, this is your invitation to see thresholds not as interruptions, but as powerful portals. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- All of the Magick: The A Pinch of Magick App: IPhone - download on the App Store Android - download pn the Google Play Our (free) magickal Community: Facebook Group Magickal Journals Explore on Amazon Rebecca's Author Page Website For Magick: Click here For a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click here For CharmCasting: Click here For Merlin, my Dog: Click here | |||

| Make Good Trouble - An Interview with Briana Pegado | 27 Oct 2024 | 00:58:49 | |
On today's episode of the A Pinch of Magick podcast I'm joined by Briana Pegado, an intuitive, artist, and author of Make Good Trouble: A Practical Guide to the Energetics of Disruption. Briana dives deep into why disruption is essential for personal and societal healing, embracing chaos, and building a more connected world. We explore: Why Now? Briana shares her insights on why our world, as we stand on the brink of the Age of Aquarius, is primed for this book. As old systems and institutions are being questioned, people are called to reconnect with their inner power and challenge societal norms. Living with Disruption For Briana, disruption isn’t about chaos for chaos’ sake. She discusses how each of us can harness our unique energy to disrupt consciously—whether it’s in daily rituals, questioning power dynamics, or embracing life’s uncertainties. The Power of Discomfort Rebecca and Briana explore the art of sitting with discomfort. Briana explains how transformation often requires us to lean into discomfort, challenging our instinct to “keep things neat.” Listen in as they discuss how to make peace with difficult emotions and turn anger and sadness into powerful catalysts for change. The Role of Tarot in Navigating Life Taking the path less travelled, Briana reveals how she incorporated Tarot archetypes like the Fool and the Hermit as guiding figures throughout her book. She explains how these symbols help us face the unknown and guide us through life’s disruptions. Values as Your Compass Briana offers a unique tool, the “Values Compass,” for reconnecting with our values and navigating life’s chaotic moments. She emphasises that values help us make aligned decisions, especially when facing disruption. Disruptive Healing in Practice Briana shares her journey from personal struggles to her experiences in anti-racism training and sustainable development. For her, being disruptive is a healing act, a chance to make space for voices that have long been silent. Aligned vs. Abusive Disruption Not all disruption is created equal. Briana breaks down how to discern between aligned disruption and abusive disruption, encouraging listeners to explore their own relationship with power. Get Practical with Gentle Chaos Want to dip your toe into the world of disruption? Briana provides gentle, practical tips to cultivate a relationship with chaos and stretch your comfort zones without overwhelming your nervous system. Human Design and Understanding Your Energy Discover how human design can help you understand your energy patterns and how they play into disruption, creativity, and growth. 📖 Discover More For listeners intrigued by Briana’s approach, check out Make Good Trouble and find a path to transformation that feels both rebellious and grounded in personal values. Tune in for a conversation that’s not just about disruption but about using it to live a fuller, more intentional life.
