Today on the A Pinch of Magick podcast I’m joined by Liz Childs Kelly, author and podcast host of ‘Home to Her’

And we venture into an exploration of the divine feminine, sacredness, and the journey to back to self.We explore what ‘Home to Her’ means to Liz, a concept steeped in personal interpretation and understanding. We discuss the allure of the Divine Feminine and the journey we undertake to return to the sacredness of our own bodies.

Life has a funny way of surprising us, and Liz shares her unexpected path, which led her to her current work. We delve into the patriarchal lens of womanhood and what it truly means to shift the veil and perceive the world through a new lens.

Ever felt a calling so strong, it’s as if you’re seeking the feminine face of God? We discuss this deep longing and the uncomfortable sensation of returning to ‘normal’ life after experiencing a ‘split in reality’.

How do we translate our experiences of the sacred into our daily practices? As we explore this, we discuss Liz’s journey of initially trying to blend mindfulness with her business while feeling an urgent need to foster change.

And sometimes, it’s the unexplained, the paranormal events that shake us awake. Liz opens up about how one such experience that led her to a point where she could no longer ignore her calling. We talk about loss of identity, re-building your view of success and learning to engage with the world in new ways.

Liz shares tales of pilgrimages to sacred sites in Europe with her family, the power of embracing the unknown, and the magick of finding the divine in the mundane. She reassures us that perfection isn’t necessary to connect with the divine – a ‘settled’ everyday existence offers plenty of opportunities for this profound connection.

We explore the importance of incorporating divinity into family life, and the concept of ‘She’ as a vibrant, living tradition. Liz illuminates the fact that the sacred feminine was not entirely suppressed in all places throughout history. The Goddess is very much alive and we’re not starting from scratch when we want to connect with her.

We’ll discuss how to tap into the latent power within us and uncover the sacredness of the self.

We end the conversation talking about interpreting the signs around you, what’s calling to you and what are the breadcrumbs leading you on your journey?

Liz guides us through this exploration and shares how connecting with nature can actually be a subversive act.

So, come on this mystical journey with us. Grab a cuppa, find a cosy spot, and get ready to delve into a captivating conversation. After all, every day is a good day for a pinch of magick.

Episode 99: The Path of the Practical Priestess – An Interview with Molly Remer

Today on the A Pinch of Magick podcast we’re journeying through the mystical realms of Priestessing with Molly Remer.

 

Molly has not only been an integral guide in my personal journey but is also a beacon for anyone wanting to weave a bit more magick into the everyday.

On this spirited ride, we delve into the essence of being a Priestess – not just as an archetype but what it means to be a vocational Priestess. We hear about Molly’s bold decision to step into the role of Priestess, leaving behind the safety of the familiar. 

We traverse through the sacred body, honouring the transitions of life, and take a peek into the day-to-day of a ‘Practical Priestess.’ Learn how to find the magick in everyday life and weave it into your daily practices. Molly unveils the secret doorways into magick, fondly known as devotional ‘mud rooms’, and the power of not stashing your magick away for a perfect time or a special occasion.

We tackle the notion that making time for your spirit is an indulgence – quite the contrary, it’s a life-sustaining and world-renewing act. Pilgrimages don’t always require a trek across continents; you can start one in your own backyard. And guess what? Connecting with your spirituality isn’t a once-in-a-lifetime event; it’s a daily practice, a soul-reviving ritual.

You’ll hear about the importance of honouring promises to yourself, creating life-changing transformations, and reconnecting with your soul without feeling the need to run away from family. 

Hear how Molly reconnected to her magick, even when circumstances stripped away her ‘normal’ refuelling practices. She even introduces us to the creation of ‘365 days of Goddess,’ a practice that extended from the planned 30-days to beyond 850 days and still going!

We journey into the inception of her popular story goddesses and learn why fuelling ourselves first is paramount. We talk about finding joy as resistance in a culture of despair and living our magick using what we already have at our disposal.

So, are you ready to don your cloak of curiosity and wander into this world of practical magick? Buckle up, magick-seekers; you’re in for a memorable ride.

Change eh?

It’s a cheeky thing. It shows up, uninvited, often toppling our well-laid plans like a deck of cards, and before you know it, you’re standing at a crossroad with the signposts all muddled up. The nerve!
 
But then, that’s the very spice of today’s episode: navigating change.
 
How do you handle change, especially when it involves making decisions that might ruffle a few feathers?
 
When your choices veer from the well-trodden path that others have been happily walking for ages?
 
How do you tap into the power of magick and rituals to guide you through these seas of change?
 
What types of magick and rituals can support you when you’re saying a hearty “YES!” to change?
Let’s get one thing straight: honouring yourself whilst making changes isn’t always a walk in the park. So, we’ll talk about that, too.
 
And what about the changes you didn’t choose? The ones that fell into your lap like an unwanted present? We’ve got you covered there, as well.
 
Because here’s the truth: saying ‘yes’ to change isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a dance that goes on, a tune you keep humming, a story that never really ends.
 
Get comfy, put the kettle on, because in this episode, we’re going to dive deep. We’re going to navigate the choppy waters of change together, bringing in a dash of magick, a sprinkle of rituals, and a heap of audacious courage.
 
By the end of this adventure, you’ll be geared up with an array of strategies and insights to face change head-on – and it might not be in the ways you think.
 
Because change, dear listeners, is inevitable. But how we navigate it? That’s where the real magick lies.
 
Ready for the ride? Let’s dive in!

In the tapestry of existence, stories are the threads that hold us together.

They’re our history, our magick, and our compass for navigating the path ahead. Stories are our connection to the past, a window to alternate realities, and a blueprint for our future.

That’s why today, we’re diving into the spellbinding world of stories. We’re going to discover what it means to be a ‘story keeper’, the art of traveling between worlds with stories, and how stories are our truth-tellers.

Ever contemplated on the difference between oral and written stories? Or how stories have evolved over time and the importance of allowing them to change? We’ll explore this and more.

We’ll delve into the realms of animism and the unseen, exploring the intimate connection between stories, magick, and the everyday objects that surround us.

Because how do you make sense of the world when…

You’re caught between the seen and the unseen?

Your reality is interwoven with tales of old?

The tangible is just as vital as the intangible?

What happens when your everyday life becomes the fabric of a story, a living, breathing testament to the power of the unseen?

Let this week’s guest tell you how.

Get comfortable, grab a cup of tea, because today we’re joined by Jessica M Starr. She’s a witch whose magic are stories, and you’re in for a treat.

By the end of this episode, you’ll not only have a new perspective on stories, but you’ll also have explored:

  • The magick of stories
  • Animism and the unseen relationships in our world
  • Daily rituals, planetary magic, and sacred spaces
  • Creating a magickal practice that reflects your own interests and the land around you, instead of trying to make preconceived ideas fit
  • Working with solar time, lunar time, and spiral time
  • Involving children in our magical practices
  • Following a goddess focused practice
  • How to work with Goddess and how it’s different from working with (a Christian) God
  • Working with the Goddess to reconnect with your inner power

Our lives are an intricate tapestry of stories, magick, and unseen connections. And when we become aware of these threads, we not only enrich our own existence but also become part of a much grander narrative.

Ready to dive in? Let’s get this story started.

Life, right? It’s a beautifully messy whirlwind of moments, experiences, and cycles.

Oh, yes, cycles. We’re so deep into them that most of the time, we don’t even notice their existence. But they’re there, in the backdrop of our lives, playing out their rhythms, impacting us in more ways than we can count.

Which brings us to the heart of today’s episode: cycles. The sacred, the mundane, the personal, and the cosmic. The ups, the downs, and the in-betweens.

And to guide us through her own experience of them, I’m joined by Stella Tomlinson author of Cycles of Belonging.

Have you ever noticed how you ebb and flow through life, just like the moon? How some days you feel like you’re at the peak of the mountain, ready to take on the world, and on others, you feel like curling up in your ‘wintering’ phase, surrendering to the quiet within?

Ever wondered how your menstrual cycle, something so innately personal, can teach you profound lessons about self-understanding and embracing the sacred rhythms of life?

And how, by aligning with these cycles, you can awaken a deep ‘remembering’ within you, a remembering that brings you home, back to yourself?

Oh, it’s a fascinating journey and we’re diving deep today.

By the end of this episode, you won’t just have a new perspective on cycles, but you’ll also have a trove of insights on:

  • Becoming aware of cycles and how they impact us
  • The sacred cycles of life
  • The value of tracking your menstrual cycle
  • A ‘remembering’ that working with the cycles evoked for Stella
  • Self-understanding gained by working with your menstrual cycle
  • Understanding that you ebb and flow through life
  • Embracing ‘wintering’
  • Creativity and the gift of the liminal space
  • The Heroine’s Journey Home to ourselves
  • Working with the cycles in everyday life
  • Personal ritual
  • Living wholeheartedly
  • Welcoming grief
  • Creating a ‘grown up’ society
  • A keening ritual

The biggest takeaway? Understanding that life is not a straight line. It’s a spiral, a cycle, an ebb, and a flow. And when we start to dance with this rhythm, we unlock a sacred harmony that can revolutionize the way we live our lives.

So let’s dive in shall we?
