The Embracing Magick Podcast

In this special episode, we’re joined by Molly Donlan, author of Mundane Magic, to explore how we can bring witchcraft into the everyday. From morning coffee and cleaning the house to working with intention, overcoming overwhelm and finding magic in the things we already do.

A huge thank you to Molly for joining us and sharing such a wonderfully practical approach to everyday magick ✨

In this episode of Embracing Magick, Steph and Lizzy are joined by author and initiated Greek priestess Elyse Welles for a fascinating conversation about ancient Greek spirituality, sacred land, deities and what it means to reconnect with practices and knowledge that have existed for thousands of years.

Elyse shares her experiences of initiation, working with spirits of place and the Greek gods, encounters at sacred sites, the relationship between witchcraft and the land, and some extraordinary personal experiences along the way - including the moment she felt a dragon step onto her chest.

We explore what the ancient world can teach modern witches, the ways the land communicates with us, forgotten priestess traditions, sacred places and why these old relationships with the natural world may still have something important to teach us today.

A huge thank you to Elyse for coming on Embracing Magick and sharing her knowledge, stories and experiences so openly with us. 🖤

In this special episode of Embracing Magick, we sit down with Amy from Amy’s Crypt inside The Cage of St Osyth, the historic village lock-up long associated with the 1582 St Osyth witch trials.

Together, we explore witchcraft, paranormal investigation and the memory of place. Can buildings absorb the emotions and experiences of the people who once lived, suffered or were imprisoned within them? And can remembrance, ritual and restoration begin to change the energy a place carries?

Amy shares the extraordinary story of becoming the custodian of The Cage, the strange signs that appeared before she and Jared bought it, the paranormal activity experienced during its restoration, and her connection with Ursula Kemp, the local healer who was accused of witchcraft and executed during the St Osyth witch trials.

We also discuss responsible paranormal investigation, the relationship between witchcraft and spirit communication, haunted history, the persecution of accused witches, and the importance of restoring dignity to the real people behind these stories.

During our visit, Amy invited us to create a ceremony and altar inside The Cage to honour Ursula, Elizabeth Bennet and all those affected by the witch trials. We share how the ceremony came together through cleansing, veiling, elemental offerings, remembrance and an unbinding ritual created specifically for the space.

A huge thank you to Amy and Jared for welcoming us into The Cage, sharing its history with us and trusting us to create something so meaningful within its walls. It was a privilege to spend time in this extraordinary place and contribute to the next chapter of its story.

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.

In this episode of Embracing Magick, Steph and Lizzy are joined by a returning guest Leonie for an honest conversation about witchcraft community, belonging and the importance of finding people who understand your spiritual path.

Whether you're a solitary witch, part of a coven or simply exploring witchcraft for the first time, we discuss how community can deepen your practice, inspire personal growth and remind you that you are never truly alone. From local witchcraft events and pagan gatherings to online communities, we explore the many different ways to connect with like-minded people while staying true to your own path.

We also talk openly about social anxiety, neurodivergence, feeling like an outsider and how finding the right community can transform not only your witchcraft practice but your wellbeing too.

A huge thank you to Leonie for joining us again and sharing her experiences so openly and honestly. We're so grateful to have you back for another beautiful conversation.

In this episode of Embracing Magick, we explore the history, symbolism and experience of the sacred drum. From ancient traditions and communal gatherings to modern spiritual practice, we discuss why drumming continues to resonate so deeply with people today.

Join us as we explore the connection between rhythm, trance, community, healing and the human experience. We share our own journeys with the drum, discuss its place within witchcraft and folk traditions, and explore why so many cultures have viewed it as far more than just a musical instrument.

In this episode we’re joined by Lily, also known as Mystic Primrose, for a candid conversation about intuitive witchcraft, social media, spell work and the reality of practising magic in the modern world.

From chaotic candle mishaps and solitary rituals to the pressure of constantly creating online, Lily opens up about how her journey into witchcraft began, how Mystic Primrose grew into a huge online community and why she believes there is no “perfect” way to practise.

We explore the impact social media has had on witchcraft, the rise of online spiritual spaces, misinformation, comparison culture, fake accounts, and the importance of trusting your own intuition over rigid rules.

Join us for a beautifully grounding conversation as we sit down with Megan from Terra Foraging to explore cottage witchcraft, foraging and living in tune with the seasons.

From wild food and kitchen witchcraft to house spirits and the deeper connection between land and practice, this episode is a gentle reminder of the magic that already exists all around us.

Megan shares her journey into foraging, how it shapes her daily life, and why reconnecting with nature can completely shift the way we see the world. We also dive into folklore, seasonal rhythms and the simple ways you can begin incorporating wild food and nature into your own practice.

Thank you to Megan for joining us and sharing her knowledge, energy, and passion with such openness.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to slow down, step outside, and reconnect with something more natural, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Embracing Magick, Toni and Lizzy sit down for an honest conversation about finding hope when life feels overwhelming.

From burnout, exhaustion and difficult world events to emotional heaviness and disconnection from practice, they explore how witchcraft can gently support you through darker seasons. Not as escapism, but as grounding. As presence. As a way to stay connected to yourself, your body and your community.

Together they talk about small daily rituals, tending your inner flame, working with the seasons, managing anger and grief, and how simple practices like candle work, journaling, nature connection and sharing circles can help you stay steady when everything feels uncertain.

This episode is for anyone who feels tired, lost or spiritually disconnected and wants practical, meaningful ways to reconnect with their craft and themselves.

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 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.

In the episode we’re joined by the incredible Liz, a tea leaf and tarot reader for a rich and raw conversation about energy shifts and the emotional intensity many of us may be feeling right now. We explore astrology, shadow work, and the historical echoes of revolution in the stars all while recommending the magickal books that are fuelling our practices at the moment.

This is one for the modern witches, spiritual seekers, and anyone navigating deep inner transformation. 🌒✨

📚 Thank you so much to The Haunted Bookshop for having us and to Liz for sharing space and wisdom with us.

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.

In this episode, we explore the body as a powerful magickal tool—one that’s often overlooked in favour of external rituals, aesthetics, and online presence. Join us as we delve into body positivity, physical sensations, and the ways our bodies synchronize with both our internal cycles and the changing seasons. We’ll talk about integrating sensuality into our craft, balancing the desire to be present with the pull of social media, and learning to trust our own physical intuition.

From embracing movement-based practices like dance or yoga to honouring the body through ritual bathing, anointing, or mindful meditation, this conversation shines a light on the importance of coming home to ourselves. Together, we’ll uncover how recognizing our bodies as sacred vessels can deepen our connection to the earth, our spiritual path, and the magick that flows through every breath. Tune in for an empowering discussion on weaving body consciousness into the heart of witchcraft.

As witches, we know that death is not an end, but a powerful transition. What awaits us beyond the veil? In this video, we delve into life after death from a witch's perspective, exploring the sacred mysteries of the afterlife, ancestral communication, and the cyclical nature of existence. We discuss our own personal experiences as we shed light on the realms that lie beyond the physical world.

Due to Toni unfortunately not being well, we brought the podcast to her home, where this episode was filmed in a more relaxed and cosy setting.
