Only Believe People Can Change When You See Evidence of Change | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 247

As a tarot card reader, I get asked this a lot - will he/she/they change? Is there hope for my relationship/marriage/friendship/etc?

Unfortunately, in many cases, hope can end up fucking people over - false hope can cause people to stick around and feel that "change is just around the corner, it'll happen any minute now," and then it's five, ten, twenty years later, and people have wasted their lives. Proof is in the pudding.

Don't believe sweet fake words - believe only what you see with your very own eyeballs. Talk is cheap. In this episode I talk all about these dynamics.

The Devil Card in Tarot: Drugs, Addiction, Gambling, Sex, and Harmful Habits and Coping Mechanisms | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 242

The Devil card in tarot shows us where we are harming ourselves, and where we are stuck in maladaptive and unhealthy loops, often tied to trauma, addiction, shame, and impulsiveness.

The Devil can also hint at dark and spicy elements of life, such as polyamory, kink, and things of that nature - though, unless otherwise indicated in the position the card is pulled in the reading, The Devil often does reference excess, lack of control, and being impulsive and intensity in ways that hurt/harm us.

The Devil is about patterns and bad vibes - unfortunately including secrets, abuse, addictions, shopping addiction, sex addiction, overspending, gambling, avoidance, cheating, manipulation, and more.

Do not ignore The Devil when this card comes up! It's a big deal. However you relate to The Devil, you can heal and work through it.

Say No To The Outrage Olympics. Reclaim Your Time And Energy | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 236

Did you know that participating in the endless outrage olympics pumped out by social media and the news is completely optional?

It's possible to stay informed about global happenings while also not losing our minds, having mental breakdowns, engaging in hateful pile-ons online, and more.

It seems like a lot of folks these days do not realize that we can opt out of the endless cycles of outrage, and step away from whatever current event the media cycle of today is pushing everyone to react to.

Reclaim your time and energy, reclaim your power over your own emotions and life.

Compulsive Behaviour, Self Control, and Energy Leaks: What to Reflect on This Mercury Retrograde | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 215

In this episode, I talk about this month's Mercury Retrograde, and how we can work with this energy to reflect on our own relationship to impulsivity, bad habits, and addictive behaviours. I frame this in terms of cultivating healthy masculine energy to contain ourselves and our desire for excess, rather than being at the whims of every feeling we have. This comes up with compulsory sexuality, excessive online shopping, porn usage, arguing online, cheating, drama addiction, and more - these are all energy leaks. If we are witches interested in directing our energy towards our goals, we need to get a handle on our energy leaks! Listen to this episode to learn more and to get some inspiration for what to reflect on this Mercury Retrograde.

Your Boundaries Are About You and Controlling Your Own Behaviour, NOT Controlling Other People | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 201

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. In this episode, I talk about what boundaries are, and how best to think about and enact them.
