The Sabrina Scott Podcast

What if being a heretic is exactly what would set you free? In this episode, I discuss how choosing authenticity over approval—and integrity over conformity—can transform your life in powerful ways. It's not easy; you may experience loss when you face your fears. I talk about how embracing your inner heretic might just be the most peaceful, soul-aligned decision you ever make, and why.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Happy Friday! This episode is inspired by noticing how many, many spiritualists suggest that the physical body is simply 'a vessel' whose physicality they ignore. Completely avoidable health issues, chain smoking, a love of McDonald's, an avoidance of moving towards physical health and fitness: all of this is super common amongst mediums and people who engage in spirituality and mediumship. In this episode, I argue that the physical body - and a healthy, fit relationship to embodiment (and yes, I say this as a disabled person myself) - can be foundational to being an even better and more accurate channel to the spiritual. Our physical body is the instrument through which we 'do' spirituality, be it mediumship, prayer, or something else. Witchcraft itself is a material form of spiritual practice: when we know our body better, when we treat it with love, care, and nourishment, our relationship to spirit and magic can only improve. Sorry, y'all: yes, eating well and working out will give you clearer access to the spiritual.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

In this episode, I try to convince everyone to watch sports! Our bodies love to experience stress, and if we don't have a curated, intentional, time-bounded place to release and feel stress, we are much more likely to create drama in our lives and make mountains out of molehills. People stir the pot when they don't have a place to express that energy. There are so many reasons I feel all spiritually minded, witchy folks should engage with sports, and this is one of the many reasons why. Witchcraft and magic can be about changing consciousness at will, and the rising of healthy 'stress' energy can also be something we can direct towards an end goal, magically. Even if you're not a sports girly (as many witches are not, lol), I'd recommend giving this a listen - I just might change your mind!-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Hola party people! In this new episode of The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with me, Sabrina Scott, I start with an update about my upcoming fourth book and second graphic novel, Bodymagic, and continue on with a discussion about how magic, witchcraft, and spirituality are about much more than just paying attention to the latest and greatest full and new moons.

In this episode I talk about what is - in my opinion - the number one relationship killer: contempt! If your relationship is contemptuous... it's doomed! In this episode I dive into what contempt looks like, how it feels, what it tries to achieve, why it happens, how it can cause us to act (without us realizing it), and what we can do when we experience it. This is also a call out to anyone who does fall into acting contemptuous in your relationships: cut it out! And if your relationship has contempt in it... get out sooner rather than later.- Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Guess what? The Canadian federal election is on Monday! I've already voted, and I'll be involved on Election Day… but I'm not sharing in what capacity until the election's over. In this episode, I talk about how precious (and rare) fully free democratic countries are, why we shouldn't take democracy for granted, and why voting is important. I'll also discuss my annoyance with the Trump-centric phenomenon of everyone and their dog bringing up Trump even when the political topic doesn't even relate to Trump all that much, if at all; of course, on my recent Instagram post about how happy I was to vote in the Canadian federal election, of course some Americans wanted to make my pro-democracy, pro-Canada, pro-freedom, and pro-positivity post about Trump. In this episode I'll also share about why I'm no longer talking to Americans about Trump, unless they do this ONE thing. Listen to find out what that is, and why, and why you - if you're also Canadian - may want to implement the same rule in a North American political climate that seems to have forgotten that the world doesn't revolve around the United States; nor do all political systems echo the American one.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Pessimism and negativity are out, positivity and optimism are in: if I declare this to be true, that means it'll be true, right? LOL, I wish! While I can't snap my fingers and get rid of all the world's negative Nancys and pessimistic depressed masses, what I CAN do is tell you about why cultivating a positive imaginary and worldview (and default perspective) isn't spiritual bypassing (or bullshit), and about how it can and absolutely will make you a happier, healthier person.

In this episode I discuss one of the most important qualities in successful, happy, and growth oriented people: curiosity! I've noticed that in the past decade or so, it's been significantly on the decline. I also talk about the rise of abstracting people into symbols, rather than listening/observing to see who people actually are. It's become normal to dehumanize people with a different perspective, and this concerns me due to its potential implications for the future of democracy and the future of human relationships. Are you open to the idea that there are things you don't know? Are you open to the idea that you could be wrong? Are you able to step off your moralistic high ground and consider things logically, rather than simply in an emotionally activated way? A very in-depth and important episode for today's current political climate, especially in Canada and the United States. Curiosity impacts all aspects of our lives in a positive, growthy way. -Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Believe it or not, the title of this podcast episode is something Jordan Peterson said at a recent lecture I attended. He was speaking on personal growth and self improvement from a Christian lens, but when I heard those words, my own worldview and cosmology - which place an enormous emphasis on witchcraft - came to mind. To me, it's such a witchy phrase! In this episode, I explain what this phrase means to me, why I relate it to how witchcraft and magic work, and what the intentional self-loving, self-improvement oriented witch can take from the phrase as we build our spiritual practice and ourselves. (And in the back of my mind, I can't help but wonder - is Jordan Peterson a witch?)-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Eclipse season is almost over! Our eclipse portal this March ends with a bright partial solar eclipse with a new moon in Aries (and with the sun in Aries, too). I talk about what the energy of this moment is, how we'll feel during it and when it's done, how we can work with this energy to confidently enter our next season with no regrets, and I pull 4 (awesome!) tarot cards which reveal more about how this eclipse will hit.

Hey y'all! Happy eclipse season! In this episode, I talk a little bit about the eclipse portal we're currently in, how I'm working with it as a Virgo rising, how important it is to try new things, challenge ourselves, be open to being wrong, be open to new ideas, and - crucially - being and staying curious.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

As therapy speak becomes more common, I've noticed that many people have a total misunderstanding of what boundaries actually are. People will complain about 'boundaries' when other people don't behave how they want them to. But - newsflash - boundaries are at their core really about US, and our behaviour: the one thing we do have control over.

I had a great time at my first ever podcasting conference and event: Podcamp Toronto! In this episode, I share a bit about what I learned, and share thoughts on some conversations/themes present in the podcasting space, including corporate vs DIY, YouTube and video-based podcasts, how people self-sabotage by never starting (and always leaving it til later), why I love chatting with strangers in hallways (and am always pleasantly surprised by who they turn out to be), and where some of the big knowledge can be found at these events.

I've noticed an unsettling pattern in many astrology creators and influencers today: a tendency to leave everything 'transformational' in the future, that the next big thing is always around the corner, we just have to wait for everything to change signs and then boom. In this episode, I share some criticisms and worries about what kind of mindset and approach to life this 'passive' attitude towards astrology and spirituality create, and why I think witchcraft does a better job of - should we choose it - connecting us with our own personal power, agency, and efficacy to create change.-Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

In this era of everyone and their grandpa (and dog) having a podcast, I have to wonder: Are all these newbie interviewers just pulling off really skillful grifts? Step 1: Interview famous people. Step 2: Profit!Spicy hot takes aside, in this episode I talk about how the journey is the destination, and how crucial (and unavoidable) it is for us to really put in the hours and do the work of developing and advancing our thought processes, analytical skills, rhetorical skills, and skills in the creative industries/spaces of our choice. I talk about how this is something that I've observed in pretty much every creative space I've ever spent time in - it's not unique to the podcast space whatsoever, though much of what I say here is inspired by some of what I heard at Podcamp Toronto this past weekend!

Today, we have a gorgeous full moon in Leo. In this episode, I talk about how this full moon is the perfect opportunity to step into the full luminosity and brightness of who you are. Stop living in the shadows, and reconsider your connections with people that do. Life is too short to be lived by half measures; life is too short and too beautiful to be dishonest or in shame about who you are, who you want, and who you want to be. The only way to have it all is to be authentic, self-loving, and honest: double lives are sure to crash.

For many, it can be so tempting to live a secret life. Being our true, honest selves can be scary: will anyone accept us in our mess? Will we get called out by friends and family for behaving badly or acting out of line? Would anyone truly love us if they knew all our kinks, desires, mistakes, and ugly points? When no one knows who we truly are, we insulate and isolate ourselves. When our friends, family, and community don't know who we actually are behind closed doors or what we're going through, it's easy to delude ourselves that everything is all good. Self-isolation is an unhealthy avoidance tactic: when we do this, we avoid both the possibility for true love and acceptance (and growth), and also having to be accountable (and perhaps make amends) for who we truly are. In this episode, I talk about why it's so much better to live an honest, transparent and vulnerable life, than one hidden in the darkness and the shadows.Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

Hi there party people! In this vulnerable episode, I share about what I learned from an ill advised situationship blowing up in my face. I broke some of my own rules, I knew better, and I played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. What red flags did I ignore? What did I learn from the experience?

Listen to this episode to hear all about it (red flags of situationships or early dating) and learn from my mistakes so you don't make them.

I outline four of the main ways we - in my opinion - create these rules, and I discuss a recent example of breaking one of my own long-standing rules, how that went, and what I learned.

I've followed astrologer Chani Nicholas' work for over a decade, and travelled to LA to meet her in 2019. After being such a loyal supporter and fan of her work for so long, it's time for me to switch gears and divest my attention from her and other woke astrologers. In this episode, I critique some of Chani's recent content, as well as her need to re-record her astrological content once her candidate lost the American presidential election. I talk about why this behaviour paints spiritual people in a bad light, and why wokeness and political ideology have no place in contemporary astrology. - Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott.

In this era of political polarization and a very interesting lack of empathy and intellectual openness, it's especially important to examine our own rhetorical styles as well as that of others. What typical appeals/arguments do people use? Do they appeal to extreme emotion, or to their own identity? In this episode, I use a recent dinner I had with two lefty New Yorkers as a jumping off point to discuss effective (and ineffective) ways of discussing ideas. I provide critiques, offer suggestions, and end with a provocative challenge to my listeners. https://sabrinamscott.com

Why release a poetry book about healing from sexual violence and rape almost 11 years to the day after the fact? In this episode of the Claim Your Magic podcast with Sabrina Scott, I talk about my brand new (and first ever) collection of poems, why I'm releasing it now, and how creativity can help us heal from the traumas we've been through. https://sabrinamscott.com https://instagram.com/sabrinamscott https://www.amazon.com/Rapeseed-Poetry-Writing-About-After/dp/B0DMSZGXSV/

Yes, that's right! Contrary to popular belief, witchcraft doesn't actually have anything (inherently) to do with feminism. Can you be a witch and a feminist? Of course. But being a witch doesn't mean you have to have certain politics, or even have political inclinations and opinions at all - let alone work with them in your spirituality and magic. This episode was inspired by an experience I was very blessed to have recently: being asked to comment upon a book up for potential publication. I'm not naming names (and never will, that's not the point; also, these ideas are widespread), but it has become taken for granted in many spaces that witchcraft and far left politics are one and the same. In this episode I explain why that's not true.

Gotta love a totally counterintuitive podcast episode title, haha! In this episode I talk all about how my first Kickstarter attempt failed big time, and why within 1 minute of giving up on it and hitting cancel...I created a new one, incorporating lessons learned. Fear of failure can be paralyzing, and a sign of trauma - movement through failure helps uplift us. In this episode, I talk about how!

In this Aries full moon (!) episode of the Claim Your Magic Podcast with Sabrina Scott, I talk about how trauma has layers to it - we can heal significantly, and then loop back to learn similar lessons at a different stage of healing from a different vantage point. I also discuss reaction time (and appropriate reactions) in relation to trauma, and share some personal anecdotes of men who try to 'humble' women - and what I want for us all instead. (Spoiler: Confident, happy people who completely own what they're good at, and who support others in their joy, art, achievements, and creativity!) The Claim Your Magic Podcast is created by writer, artist, and spiritual teacher Sabrina Scott. She's been a practicing witch and medium for more than 24 years, and in this casual, mellow show she shares her secrets and musings about how to overcome pain and live a happy, magical life. She is the author of two books: Witchbody, and Curse and Cure: Magic for Real Life. She has also created three journals, the Card of the Day Tarot Journal, the Getting to Know the Cards Guided Tarot Journal, and the Book of Magical Rituals Guided Witchcraft Journal. UPCOMING! NEW BOOK! Bodymagic: A Graphic Novel About Witchcraft, Trauma, and Healing is currently being funded on Kickstarter!

In this episode, I talk about the relationship between authenticity and loss, and how they are truly inseparable and intertwined. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I also discuss the importance of honouring others in their authenticity, even if it means they aren't for us and we aren't for them. // Join Magic May!

Somehow the thing my haters love to dunk on me the most is how I've had plastic surgery. Yes I have! And I have absolutely no shame about it. In this episode I talk about why plastics are soooo triggering to some people, the nature of authenticity, and how we can see plastics (and other stuff) as intentional acts of self-creation.

Hi friends! I really wish I didn't have to make an episode on this topic, but I've seen a wave of specifically witchy influencers engage in apocalyptic and doomsday thinking. I'm not naming any names, but these are some big accounts. That, and we just had a woman who was an astrology influencer engage in family annihilation over the eclipse. As this line of thinking, unfortunately quite common in some fringes of the new age, becomes more common in witchy, pagan, astrology, and occult circles, I thought it would be a good idea to break this down a bit and give y'all some tips for things to look out for and pay attention to. Stay safe out there folks, and remember: trust yourself above all else. // all my links: https://claimyourmagicwithsabrina.com/links

In this episode I chat about my experience of the eclipse, and how I've felt in the days since as well as immediately afterwards. What lessons does this total solar eclipse have for all of us? // https://www.claimyourmagicwithsabrina.com/links

Something a little different today! Yesterday, for the total solar eclipse, I went on a pilgrimage to totality. In this episode I record my journey and you will hear the adventure to totality as well as totality itself. In future episodes I'll talk more about how I feel now and how I've interpreted the experience, but for this episode it's just eclipse day itself. I hope you enjoy!

Hi friends! ARE YOU EXCITED?! I'm excited! In a little more than 12 hours we will have a total solar eclipse bopping diagonally over North America, and I have to say I'm already buzzy with both apprehensive and excited vibes. In this podcast episode I talk eclipse viewing safety for anyone traveling to totality or planning to view the partial eclipse, and offer some tips for reflection and magic and alchemy for anyone going cocoon mode during this time and choosing not to view, or living somewhere where viewing isn't possible. I also share when in the last few years this eclipse loops us back to. Happy eclipsing! All my links: https://www.claimyourmagicwithsabrina.com/links

A slight detour from our normal programming - let's chat about the final episodes of Love Is Blind season 6! I know not everyone here will care about reality TV but as a total sincere sappy person who loves authentic love… I can't help myself. Spoilers galore, be warned!

Hi y'all! It's me, Sabrina, of the ever changing podcast names - but I think this one is the one. I explain a bit of what I mean by “claim your magic” exactly - what kinda magic? Aren't I against magic being used as a metaphor? Well, yes! But there's more. We also had a big snow storm in Toronto yesterday and I was outside the entire time - I loved it! I end the episode by talking about how snow and really any kind of season or weather can help us learn to lean into play, wonder, joy, and a concept I introduced in my first book, Witchbody: reinvigorated presence. // All my links: https://www.claimyourmagicwithsabrina.com/links

Yes, another witchcraft documentary! This time, here are my thoughts - I could not help myself as someone who absolutely loves documentaries! I even wrote a paper about the representation of witches in documentary film back in my undergrad - the short version is, at the time, back in probably 2009, witches were presented as either silly or sexy. This documentary falls into neither trope, but still completely misses the mark with its focus on identity and reincarnation, rather than witchcraft and magic itself. In this episode I give my full thoughts on the documentary “Coven” which you can watch for free on CBC Gem. // All my links, including freebies and info on my membership: https://sabrina-scott.mykajabi.com/links

Guess what? Despite the self-important activists thumping around on social media, virtue signalling in every which direction, you are absolutely NOT a narcissistic and self indulgent spiritual bypasser if your witchcraft is undoubtedly local instead of global. A lot of witchcraft - including the kind I practice - has always been rooted (literally and figuratively) in the unabashedly local: healing ourselves, undoing inter generational traumas, protecting our homes and families, and cultivating deeper connection with heritage, land, and environment. If you wanna do global political witchcraft, go for it - but stop shaming any witches who are keeping their practice closer to home. // https://sabrina-scott.mykajabi.com/links

Hi friends! I hope you've enjoyed these first few days of March. It's sunny as hell here in Toronto, and I've begun by doing a complete reset and reorganization of my space. In this episode I talk about spring cleaning as a form of magic and energetic refresh and reset, and I also get into a little of what disturbed me so much last week that I couldn't do my weekly tarot over on YouTube. The TLDR, radicalism and the celebration of hurting one self has disturbed me so much, and I share some thoughts on that as well.

In this episode I talk a little bit about trends in witchcraft, and do a flash back to my early days of practice in the 1990s. Back in the day, it was thought that everyone had to had a “patron deity” or deities. Now, it's known widely that there are so many different forms of practice, with many people focusing on animism or Christian witchcraft. I share a bit about the first deities I worked with and why, and how they helped me, and share a little on how my altar practice has changed over time. Full episode on altars will be in my new Claim Your Magic Community and Membership, as will a live training call on everything you need to know about deities!

In this episode, I talk a bit about my decision to rename my podcast, and lean into my own name as a brand. I also discuss naming as claiming our own power, pushing the edge of our comfort zone, and names as talismans.

A very personal episode.
