The White Witch Podcast

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 In this episode of the podcast I am joined by Roman Hanis, the author of Beyond Ayahuasca for a grounded, honest conversation about ayahuasca. 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. Journal Prompts for Reflection What am I hoping an altered state would give me that I am not currently giving myself? 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. Our book review is Beyond Ayahuasca - Unlocking the Evolutionary Science of Indigenous Amazonian Wisdom to access your Highest Potential by Roman Hanis.

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. This episode begins with with St Lucy’s Day. Beneath the saint lies lore entwined with Lilith, Lucifer, witches, trolls and wandering spirits — revealing how this 'festival of light' once belonged to the darkest nights of the year. 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.

In today’s episode I’m joined by the incredible Kurtis Lee Thomas, Founder of the Breathwork Detox modality — a transformative breathwork system that’s been featured on The Today Show and used by some of the world’s biggest organisations. Kurtis has brought his breathwork method into spaces like Nike, NASA, Fortune 500 companies, elite athletic teams and a long list of celebrities and high-performers. His work speaks for itself — the impact, the results, and the rapid transformation this modality creates are truly remarkable. In this conversation we explore - What breathwork actually is beyond the buzzword. The somatic, emotional and energetic logic behind Breathwork Detox. How one session can trigger release, clarity and nervous system reset. Why organisations like Nike and NASA are turning to breathwork for performance, focus and stress management. The deeper spiritual and alchemical dimensions of using breath as a tool for healing and awakening. Kurtis’s personal journey into this work — and what breath can reveal when we learn to listen. If you are someone who loves embodiment, energy work, somatic healing or the deeper layers of consciousness — this episode is pure medicine. This is breathwork as alchemy, breathwork as initiation, breathwork as transformation.

Ivy, Winter Witchcraft & The Discipline Spell In this month’s November Witchcraft episode, we wander into the winding, enchanted world of ivy — a plant steeped in folklore, protection magic, and ancient symbolism. We explore its historical associations, its role as a guardian of thresholds and the many ways witches can weave ivy into their craft with intention and safety. From there, we move into the heart of herbal magic, looking at how to use herb blends in spellwork, ritual, energy cleansing, and winter-focused practices. Next we descend into the witch’s winter arc, exploring why the darker months naturally call us into commitment, devotion and inner alchemy. We discuss the role of discipline as a spell, and how neuroplasticity supports your magical practice. We take a closer look at the anterior mid-cingulate cortex — a brain region connected to motivation, persistence, emotional regulation and the ability to choose discomfort for long-term transformation — revealing how science supports what witches have always known - Winter is for recalibration, rewiring, and rising. We finish the episode with a Ritual for Sacred Discipline, crafted to help you anchor devotion, strengthen your energetic sovereignty, and align your daily life with the witch you are becoming. In This Episode We Explore - Ivy in Witchcraft Ivy’s folklore across Ireland, Britain, and classical mythology Its symbolism as a protector, a guardian of thresholds, and a guide to hidden realms Why ivy was associated with divine ecstasy, wildness, caves, doorways, and the Otherworld How to safely and respectfully use ivy in modern witchcraft Energetic workings you can pair with ivy (protection, binding, devotion, portal magic) Different ways of working With herb blends The Witch’s Winter Arc Understanding winter as a magical recalibration season Why November–February is the perfect window for discipline, devotion, and deep inner change How nature’s descent mirrors your own energetic turning within The connection between cyclical witchcraft and long-term goal alchemy Witchcraft, Neuroplasticity & Discipline How your brain rewires itself through repetition, intention and emotional charge Why scrolling, overstimulation and fatigue sabotage magical momentum The unexpected role of the anterior mid-cingulate cortex - motivation task persistence emotional self-regulation choosing discomfort to reach your desires How witches can harness this part of the brain like a magical muscle Reframing discipline as a frequency of self-love and energetic sovereignty Ritual for Sacred Discipline A grounding, witchy practice designed to help you - Declare what you are devoted to this winter Anchor your discipline as a magical frequency Activate the neural pathways that support consistency Align your daily actions with your future self Step into the winter arc with power, clarity, and inner fire If you are ready to weave plant lore with brain magic, and step into a winter of powerful self-alchemy, this episode is for you.

In our second Samhain Witch Week episode we return to Primrose Hill’s cottage. Where the hearth glows golden against the gathering dark and the scent of spice, smoke and apple fills the air. Join us as Primrose prepares for The Witch’s New Year— a time of endings, beginnings and sacred remembrance. Together we step into the stillness of the Dumb Supper, a silent meal shared with the spirits of our beloved dead — learning how to host your own and weave this timeless rite of communion into your Samhain celebrations. Alongside the supper we will explore a handful of hearth-born enchantments and recipes for the turning of the year - Hearth Protection Bread — to bless and seal your home for winter. Apple Spirit Blessing — a sweet ancestral charm of love and remembrance. Pumpkin Soup for Prosperity — golden nourishment for abundance and renewal. Ancestral Mulled Wine or Cider — a warming brew for spirit connection. Shadow Jar Spell — to release the old year and transform what lingers in the dark. This is The Enchanted Feast — a night of quiet magic, candlelight, and communion between worlds. So pour yourself something warm, settle by the fire and step with me into the witch’s kitchen at Samhain, where love, memory and magic are stirred together in every dish. Blessed Samhain my loves. May your hearth be warm and your spirits near.

Fae, Ghosts, Ancestry & Old Cornish Magic  Hello Witches   Join me for episode one of Witch Week for Samhain.   On this episode I am joined by the wonderful Freyja, The Corn(ish) Witch, for a deeply magical conversation exploring the folklore, spirits, and ancestral traditions of Cornwall — where the veil between worlds seems to shimmer a little closer to the skin.  Together we wander through -   How Freyja will be celebrating Samhain and honouring her ancestors.  Her own ghost and fae encounters, and what they’ve taught her about the Otherworld.  The Cornish fae — from the Bucca to the Piskies — and their role in local lore.  The mysteries of Merlin, Tintagel and Cornwall’s most powerful magical sites.  The Cornish Pellars, traditional cunning folk and healers of the region.  How ancestral trauma can echo through our DNA   The celebration of Allantide — Cornwall’s own festival of apples, ancestors and soul fire.  Plus, a few lesser-known herbs to work with this Samhain season — rooted in Cornish tradition and spirit medicine.  This episode feels like walking through mist on the moors — old stories rising up from the land, whispering through time.   This one’s for those who feel the call of the old paths — for witches who remember the song beneath the soil.  Find Freyja's podcast here -   https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-corn-ish-witch/id1845165473  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thecornishwitchpodcast/  YouTube - https://youtu.be/5AFubPjnEqE?si=PjD77hDflZFUpvNC  Books referenced are Scuttlers Cove by David Barnett and The Cornish Witch by Elena Collins.     Hallowed Harvest Witch Box - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4382208970/hallowed-harvest-a-samhain-witch-box Hallowed Harvest Zine - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4382236667/hallowed-harvest-a-samhain-grimoire OCTOBER ON PATREON - WHISPERS AT THE VEIL As the nights lengthen and the veil thins, the voices of the ancestors stir — soft, haunting, and full of wisdom.

In this episode we explore one of the most beloved star myths in history — The Pleiades, the Seven Sisters who shimmer in the night sky and in stories told across the world. From their ancient Greek origins as the daughters of Atlas and Pleione, to the legends of the Kiowa, Aboriginal Yunggarmurra, and Hindu Krittika, we trace how cultures across time have seen these same seven stars and found within them tales of love, transformation, and divine light. You will hear how Zeus placed them in the heavens to protect them from Orion’s pursuit, why one sister’s light mysteriously fades, and how this same story appears in the oldest human memories — perhaps even from a time before our ancestors left Africa. We will also explore the deeper symbolism of the Pleiades within witchcraft and energy work — as a constellation of remembrance, ascension, and feminine radiance — and how to connect with their celestial current through meditation and ritual. We will look at - The myth of the Seven Sisters in Greek legend The global star stories of the Pleiades (Kiowa, Aboriginal, Hindu & more) Why these tales may be humanity’s oldest shared myth The Pleiadian frequency and working with the Seven Sisters in modern witchcraft Our book review is Halloween Folklore and Ghost Stories by Brice Stratford Hallowed Harvest Witch Box - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4382208970/hallowed-harvest-a-samhain-witch-box Hallowed Harvest Zine - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4382236667/hallowed-harvest-a-samhain-grimoire OCTOBER ON PATREON - WHISPERS AT THE VEIL As the nights lengthen and the veil thins, the voices of the ancestors stir — soft, haunting, and full of wisdom.

Merlin – The Wild Prophet, The Magician of Britain In his episode we wander into the mists of ancient Britain to meet the many faces of Merlin – prophet, madman, shaman and wizard. We will look at how his myth weaves through Welsh, Scottish and Romano-British lore - Myrddin Wyllt — the Wild Man and Prophet of the Caledonian Forest. Lailoken — the mad seer who fled into the greenwood after killing kin in the fog of war. Merlin Ambrosius — the fusion of Celtic shaman and Roman sage, born from the pen of Geoffrey of Monmouth. The Merlin Current — the living energy of prophecy, wisdom, and the land’s magic that still calls to modern witches today. We’ll explore his connection to the Genius Loci and his enduring symbolism as a bridge between the wild and the civilised, nature and spirit, madness and enlightenment. This episode is for those who feel the whisper of the forest, the pull of prophecy, and the call of ancient magic in their bones. Mentioned in this episode: Myrddin Wyllt, Lailoken, and the triple death The Red and White Dragons of Dinas Emrys The Merlin Current and Mehindra, the guiding spirit of the lineage The symbolism of madness as initiation and the return as enlightenment Merlin’s story mirrors the alchemical path we all walk — the death of the old self, the descent into the forest of shadow, and the return as seer, magician, and bridge between worlds. Through Merlin, we remember that madness can be medicine, and solitude can awaken the voice of spirit.

In this episode of The White Witch Podcast we journey into the mysteries of Memento Mori — the timeless reminder of mortality — and explore how death, transformation and rebirth weave through witchcraft and esoteric traditions. In this episode I share - The meaning and history of memento mori. The Haliorunna and necromantic wisdom of the witch’s path. The story of Hiram Abif and the Masonic initiation of death and resurrection. How Alexandrian and Gardnerian covens use death-and-rebirth initiation rites. The echoes of these mysteries in Hermetic and Rosicrucian traditions. Norse philosophies of mortality and remembrance. Why burying the old self through ritual is essential for growth. Journal prompts, rituals and tarot/oracle spreads to work with the death/rebirth cycle in your own practice. This episode is both philosophical and practical — guiding you into the deep mysteries of why witches embrace death as a gateway to transformation, and how you can bring these initiatory currents into your own craft.
