Hello Witches Join me on todays episode of The White Witch Podcast where I dive deep into the realms of psychology, spirit and alchemy to uncover what it truly means to transform your life from the inside out. We explore - Viktor Frankl vs Freud – Why Frankl's forward-facing philosophy of meaning and responsibility may serve us more than Freud's obsession with the past. The Future Self – Connecting with your highest timeline and how to embody it now. Heaven & Hell Frequencies – The vibrations we step into daily Silence as God-Connection – How silence can be the most potent portal to the divine. Attention vs Intention – The difference between where our energy goes and what your energy consecrates. This is a contemplative episode – less about quick fixes and more about the deep shift into living as The Alchemist of your own existence. Journal prompts I use as referenced in this episode are - How do I feel in my body and energy field right now? What am I consciously calling in today? If it was already mine how would I feel and act? What aligned action or frequency shift can I take today to meet my desire? What limiting belief. fear or doubt is ready to be released? What new belief am I anchoring in its place? How can I hold the frequency of trust today no matter what? What signs, synchronicities or nudges have I received lately? What does my future self want me to remember today? One thing I am grateful for and one thing I am excited for? Grimoire pages are attached with journal prompts, rituals and concepts mentioned in this episode.

Europa gegen USA – Was steckt hinter dem Gewinn-Gap? Europas Aktienmärkte laufen stark – doch die Unternehmensgewinne sagen etwas ganz anderes. Warum verdienen US-Konzerne so viel mehr als ihre europäischen Konkurrenten? „Der Unterschied ist gewaltig, weil die Amerikaner etwas haben, was wir nicht haben: die Hightech-Blase. Blase ist vielleicht das falsche Wort, aber sie sind einfach sehr gut im Hightech-Sektor aufgestellt. Und diese Branche hat ja eine Sonderkonjunktur. Man braucht sie so oder so. Das wird von allen großen Staaten betrieben, um weltführend zu sein. Das haben wir nicht", so Robert Halver. Der Experte von der Baader Bank weiter: „Der Bereich der Kannibalisierung beginnt natürlich auch, aber KI ist so breit aufgestellt, dass alle noch davon leben können. Da haben sie die Nase vor und ich denke nicht, dass Europa das jemals aufholen kann. Amerikanische Anleger sagen: Jetzt wollen wir mal die zurückgebliebenen Keller-Kinder der letzten Jahre wie in Europa auch kaufen. Da fällt der Blick immer zuerst auf den Dax, weil er das Aushängeschild der zyklischen Werte ist. Und Europa ist der Hedge gegen das, was in Amerika läuft. Es wird nicht so schlimm kommen wie angedeutet. Das hatte Trump auch nie vor. Das hat Europa nicht verstanden. Reden lassen und gucken, was dabei rumkommt."

Bitcoin Has Reached Critical Mass – Thanks to regulatory shifts and institutional adoption, Bitcoin seems to be here to stay. In just a few years, we've gone from government hostility toward crypto to SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs and even a pro-crypto administration in the White House.Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency, launched in 2008, and today it represents about 60% of the entire crypto market. It's gained institutional interest and widespread regulatory acceptance. By contrast, the remaining 40% of the crypto universe is fragmented, filled with thousands of projects, many of which will not survive.Think of most other cryptos not as currencies but as startup tech ventures. That helps frame their high risk and their potential for failure. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has arrived. The rest? They're still trying to prove themselves.Bitcoin as an Investment: What's Changed?Many early Bitcoin advocates hoped it would serve as a usable currency outside of traditional financial systems. But that vision has mostly faded. Today, most investors treat Bitcoin like digital gold—a store of value designed to hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies.It's volatile, yes. But its built-in scarcity (only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist) appeals to those who fear government overreach or reckless monetary policy. Bitcoin's not just for tech enthusiasts anymore—it's becoming a strategic asset for serious investors.Generational preferences also shape Bitcoin's rise. Younger investors, raised in a digital world of apps and virtual marketplaces, are far more comfortable with digital assets. What gold has long been to older generations, Bitcoin is becoming to younger ones: a hedge against inflation and a symbol of financial independence.In fact, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has grown significantly in recent years, signaling that institutions are viewing it in similar terms.Institutions and Even Nations Are Paying AttentionIt's not just individuals diving into Bitcoin. Global events—especially the 2022 freezing of Russian reserve assets—have prompted many nations to reassess their reliance on U.S. Treasury bonds. The result? A surge in gold buying by central banks, and increasing openness to alternatives like Bitcoin among private investors.While governments aren't yet buying Bitcoin, there's reasonable evidence to suggest that gold investors are starting to “skate to where the puck is going,” diversifying small portions of their portfolios into Bitcoin as a forward-looking strategy.With that being said, should we be concerned about the global shift away from U.S. treasuries?Not immediately. While a shift away from U.S. Treasuries could eventually raise interest rates and borrowing costs, the dollar still holds dominant status in global transactions. But it's a trend worth watching. It's a slow-motion problem—more of a simmer than a flashpoint.So…Should You Invest in Bitcoin?It depends. Investors with a strong risk tolerance and a positive outlook on gold might allocate a small portion (less than 5%) of their portfolio to Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETF's. The key is position sizing—keeping it small due to Bitcoin's extreme volatility.However, we want to be crystal clear: this only applies to Bitcoin, not to the rest of the crypto space, which still carries a high risk of going to zero.If you're curious to explore more, check out the full article, Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know, at SoundMindInvesting.org. The SMI team also offers a Bitcoin-inclusive ETF for those looking to dip a toe into this asset class as part of a broader, biblically informed strategy.At the end of the day, financial stewardship isn't about chasing trends—it's about making wise, measured decisions rooted in truth. And with the right knowledge, even complex topics like crypto can be approached with confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I currently have about $1 million in an active 401(k) with a major financial institution. I'd like to transfer those existing funds to another custodian, where I can earn a guaranteed interest rate. However, I also want to continue contributing to my current 401(k) through my employer, taking on more investment risk with those new contributions. Is that possible?My husband and I live with my father-in-law, and the house needs some repairs. He's offered to loan us the money from his retirement account to cover the costs, but he's asking us to help pay the taxes he would owe on the distribution. Is that a wise arrangement?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know by Mark Biller (Sound Mind Investing Article)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
