Has Modern Witchcraft Lost Its Way?

August 3, 2026 · 1 h 18 min

Show notes

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.
