The Balance Between Listening To Spiritual Advice And Doing It For The Plot | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 249

In this episode, I discuss the (sometimes difficult) balance between listening to the spiritual world, whether it's a tarot reading, spirit contact, an astrology reading (or something else), and ignoring it - and making choices that I've come to think of as "doing it for the plot."

Sometimes, we just wanna ignore spiritual guidance and live life "normally" - and having some crazy, interesting, fun, or dramatic stories to tell. Sometimes we need to make choices that are calculated risks, going on adventures that sometimes explode in our face and goes totally wrong. Sometimes it's okay to just... do that, and learn lessons the hard way.

I love and believe in spiritual guidance; I'm grateful for my own spiritual connection and gifts, and while I do listen to it most of the time, there are some times I've gone off on some adventures regardless. It can be a difficult thing to balance as human beings!

At the same time, doing it for the plot can give us confirmation that the spiritual information we chose to ignore was actually spot on. It can also teach us the real world version of what the tarot cards and/or other spiritual messages express themselves.

An interesting and important discussion! Don't miss it!

Is There Healthy Aggression? The Importance of Warrior Energy and the Survival Instinct | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 234

We are in a society where most kinds of aggression and masculinity are demonized and denigrated as bad, evil, or unhealthy. But is there such a thing as healthy aggression?

In this episode, I talk about the importance of viciousness, standing up for ourselves, fighting back (when necessary and from a healthy place), the survival instinct, and what I call warrior energy.

Knowing which fights to get into (and why) is a big part of this. Unfortunately, much aggressive raw survival energy is wasted on stupid online arguments and pointless protests.

In this episode, I explore what warrior energy means and can look like in the contemporary world, what causes our lack of it (and extreme misdirection of it when it's present), and where we can channel this energy instead (and why we should be aware of any of this at all).

Do No Harm, Take No Shit: A 2026 Mantra (aka The Year of Having A Backbone) | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 233

There is this strange idea floating around that spiritual people need to be docile doormats, or never stand up for ourselves when we are attacked.

In this episode, I talk about how important it is to stand up for ourselves when it is necessary and warranted to do so.

In 2026, I want all of y'all to feel comfortable and justified in standing up for yourselves.

Standing up for yourself is not 'doing harm' to someone else. It is important that we are able to embody warrior energy, and not start fights, but finish them when we are in the right circumstances. Step into your power and confidence in 2026!

Don't Buy Into Astrology Creators Who Urge You To Be Passive Observers of Your Own Life | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 198

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.
