  • The Web We Live In: Intention, Music, and Trusting the Invisible Threads

    The Web We Live In: Intention, Music, and Trusting the Invisible Threads
    2026/01/25
    In today's episode, Kamani joins me for a conversation about manifestation, synchronicity, and the subtle ways we communicate with the world around us, often without realising we’re doing it.This is one of those conversations that starts with a simple question and slowly opens out into something much bigger. We talk about intention, energetic connection, music as communication, destiny versus free will, and how magick often works through tiny moments of noticing.It’s a conversation for anyone who has ever thought, that felt like more than coincidence. In this episode we explore:Thinking of someone and then having them appearKamani shares personal experiences of thinking about someone intensely, only for them to show up soon after through a message, an image, or an invitation to meet. We unpack whether this is coincidence, selective attention, or something more relational and energetic.I share how I understand this through the idea of energetic “data cables”, the invisible threads we form with people through connection, emotion, memory, and attention.The web of connection we’re always part ofWe explore the idea that we are constantly in communication with the world around us, not just through words, but through energy, presence, emotion, and focus. From walking into a room and sensing tension, to feeling calm around certain people, these are skills we already have, even if we’ve never named them as magick.Intentionality as the difference between background noise and signalA fleeting thought may dissolve quickly, but focused intention carries weight. We talk about how directed attention changes the quality of energy we send out, and why strong emotions like love, anger, longing, or grief feel so potent and hard to ignore.This is where magick, manifestation, and everyday psychology can overlap.Music as divination and communicationOne of my favourite threads in this episode is our exploration of music as a language the universe uses to speak to us. Kamani shares how certain songs appear at powerful moments, especially during travel or emotional transitions.I talk about using music as a divination tool, including the simple practice of asking for a message through the third song you hear in a day, and noticing what lands, whether that’s lyrics, memories, mood, or resonance.Why different things speak to different peopleWe explore how the universe doesn’t communicate in one fixed way. For some it’s music, for others numbers, animals, dreams, art, cards, or land. There’s no hierarchy here. What matters is relationship, not method.Trying to force a form of magick that doesn’t suit you often disconnects you from the one that does.Destiny, free will, and the tension between choice and patternKamani asks a big question: are our lives shaped by destiny, or are we co-creating everything as we go?I share my honest answer, which is that I don’t know, and that I live somewhere between the two. We talk about astrology, conditioning, choice, karma, and the feeling that some lessons insist on being lived, even when we can see the warning signs in advance.Rather than certainty, we arrive at curiosity, compassion, and the idea that responding consciously may matter more than knowing why something happened.Micro-steps, trust, and stepping onto paths you can’t yet seeWe talk about how magick often asks for small steps rather than grand leaps. When we act, we receive feedback. When we don’t, we stay stuck in loops of analysis and indecision.I share why I believe clarity often follows action, not the other way around, and how trusting one small nudge can shift everything over time.This is a conversation that doesn’t try to explain the mystery away, but instead invites you to sit with it, listen more closely, and notice how the world already speaks to you.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

  • The Living Goddess: Land, Loss, and Learning to Belong Again

    The Living Goddess: Land, Loss, and Learning to Belong Again
    2026/01/11
    In today's episode, I'm joined by Ruth for an exploration that begins with goddesses and gently unfolds into land, nature, grief, healing, paradox, and the quiet magick of being alive.In this conversation, we explore:1. Do we choose goddesses, or do they emerge when we are ready?Ruth opens the conversation by reflecting on her work with goddesses across the Wheel of the Year, and the quiet confusion that can arise around “favourites,” loyalty, and doing devotion correctly. What emerges is a shared recognition that goddess energy is not hierarchical or exclusive, but fluid, embodied, and responsive.We explore reframing gods and goddesses as energies that rise from land, culture, and human need, meeting us in forms we can recognise, rather than demanding allegiance.2. Goddess as landscape, not doctrineThe conversation deepens into local goddesses, particularly Andraste, and how land-based deities feel different when encountered in place. Ruth speaks about walking by rivers, standing in landscapes, and feeling connection not through belief, but through presence.We talk about how goddess energies shift across time, culture, and human evolution, emerging in different guises as we need them, rather than remaining fixed or singular.3. Releasing guilt from spiritual practiceWe dismantle the idea that devotion must be constant, perfect, or fear-driven. There's a clear rejection of punitive spirituality, whether religious or magickal. Relationships with goddesses, land, or ritual are described as cyclical, seasonal, and alive.The idea that missed rituals, forgotten candles, or inconsistent practices might invite punishment is named as inherited conditioning, not truth.4. Rhythm, attention, and everyday magickThe conversation turns toward daily practices: tarot, journaling, meditation, walking, noticing. We speak about the danger of turning spiritual tools into checklists, and Ruth reflects on how presence matters more than frequency.5. Nature as a companion through illness and isolationRuth shares her experience of living alone in nature during chemotherapy and lockdown. Stripped back physically and emotionally, she describes how land, trees, animals, and seasons became companions rather than scenery.From butterflies overwintering in outbuildings, to deer sleeping nearby, to trees marked with her birth year, nature is described as witness, mirror, and quiet ally during a time of profound vulnerability.6. Bones, feathers, and respectful relationshipThe conversation moves towards skulls, bones, feathers, and instinctive boundaries. Ruth speaks about collecting skulls with permission and reverence, not as tools of power, but as companions and protectors. And I share my own discomfort with feathers, illustrating how intuitive limits are as important as intuitive pulls.There's no judgment here. Only curiosity, humour, and respect for how differently people relate to material allies.7. Vastness, insignificance, and freedomTogether, we talk on the vastness of the universe, deep time, evolution, and humanity’s smallness within it all. Rather than nihilism, this awareness brings relief. Perspective. Permission to make mistakes. Permission to live.8. Becoming part of nature, not its managerWe close with reflections on ageing, cronehood, and belonging. Ruth speaks about no longer fearing the dark, about sitting quietly in woods, releasing hedgehogs, and allowing nature to carry on around her.This is a conversation about remembering that we belong, even when we feel stripped bare.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

  • The Sacred Pause: Breath, Rhythm, and Living Magick in a Noisy World

    The Sacred Pause: Breath, Rhythm, and Living Magick in a Noisy World
    2025/12/31
    Today, I'm joined by Kim and we explore the meeting point between breathwork and magick, and how simple, rhythmic practices can quietly transform the way we move through an increasingly noisy world.This is a conversation about pausing, trusting embodied knowing, questioning inherited structures, and rediscovering magick as something we remember how to live.In this episode, we explore:1. When breathwork meets magickKim shares how learning breathwork as a professional modality has blurred the boundaries between her pagan identity and her working life. What emerges is a recognition that breath, meditation, ritual, and spellwork all share the same root: intentional attention. 2. The sacred pause as a site of transformationBreath is framed as a liminal practice. Inhale, pause, exhale. We discuss the parallel between breathing and walking a labyrinth, where the pause at the centre becomes the place where integration and change occur. This pause, mirrored in seasons, lunar cycles, and ritual, is named as the place where magick quietly works.3. Rhythm over stillnessWe talk about the reality that stillness isn't always a safe space or even accessible for everyone. Breathwork, meditation, and ritual can be deeply powerful, but also confronting or overwhelming for those with trauma or sensory sensitivity.Walking, knitting, colouring, stitching, and repetitive handwork are offered as equally valid magickal practices. Rhythm, rather than silence, becomes the doorway. 4. Magick as relationship, not performanceWe reflect on how our magick has changed over time. Early practices often focused on structure, tools, and ritual. With experience, those patterns become embodied, held internally rather than performed externally.Magick is compared to cooking: first learned through recipes and rules, later practised through intuition, memory, and trust. 5. Questioning dogma, even in magickal spacesDiscernment runs through this episode. From directions and elemental associations to teachers, lineages, and Instagram wisdom, We explore the importance of questioning where teachings come from and whether they truly align with our values.We explore how easy it is to step out of religious dogma only to find yourself inside a shinier version of the same structure. 6. Land, lineage, and lived experienceI share stories of growing up in Cornwall, where tides, mist, weather, and seasonal flux shaped my understanding of the elements long before formal training. Witches, artists, herbs, and myth were woven into everyday life, not separated from it. Could Gods, goddesses, and archetypes be reframed as emergent from the landscape rather than imposed upon it?7. Community, ritual, and the loss of shared touchstonesThe conversation turns to the decline of communal ritual spaces and the tension between online and in-person gatherings. While digital spaces offer accessibility and safety, something essential is still held in physical presence, shared breath, and human touch. Both honour the value of each, without idealising either.8. Making as magickKnitting circles, tea-leaf reading, knot-tying, stitching, and making with the hands emerge as deeply magickal practices. Not because of what they produce, but because of the states they invite: focus, rhythm, connection, and story. Art, craft, and creation are named as spellwork in their own right.Join us for a conversation that offers permission to pause without stopping, to practise magick without labels, and to trust that presence itself is transformative.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

  • Reclaiming Magick: Divination, Art, and the Courage to Go Slowly

    Reclaiming Magick: Divination, Art, and the Courage to Go Slowly
    2025/12/19
    Today I'm joined by Catherine for a chat about rediscovering magick, trusting intuition, and allowing creativity to unfold without pressure. I hope you enjoy it!In this episode we explore:1. Reclaiming magick later in lifeCatherine shares her experience of returning to magick after years away. Once deeply connected as a child, she describes how religion and relationships pulled her off that path, and how she now feels a clear calling to reclaim her inherent magick. Not as something new, but as something remembered.2. “Everybody is inherently magickal”Rebecca reframes the idea of being a “newbie witch,” emphasising that magick is not earned or bestowed but reclaimed. This conversation gently dismantles the idea that witchcraft requires lineage, expertise, or perfection, and instead centres embodiment, relationship, and presence.3. Divination as humanity’s oldest language of meaningTogether they trace divination far beyond tarot and oracle cards, exploring how humans have always sought meaning. From birds, bones, smoke, stars, and entrails, to modern medicine and prediction-based science, divination is revealed as our instinctive way of making sense of uncertainty.4. Trusting the body after a lifetime of being taught not toThe conversation turns to how many of us were taught, as children, to override hunger, tiredness, discomfort, and intuition. Divination and ritual become ways of gently relearning self-trust and restoring a relationship with the body’s wisdom.5. Ritual and relationship From cleansing cards to asking permission before taking a deer bone, Catherine and Rebecca speak about reverence rather than rules. Cards, crystals, bones, and objects are framed not as tools to control outcomes, but as allies we build relationships with over time.6. Slowness as a magickal actCatherine reflects on learning to go slowly in this phase of her life. Gathering objects, thrifting intuitively, nesting into her practice, and allowing curiosity to lead rather than goals. Rebecca affirms that magick has no end point, no checklist, and no finish line.7. Art as spellwork and becomingArt emerges as a central theme. Catherine shares how returning to painting after decades away has become part of her magickal rediscovery. Painting over old work, starting again, and allowing the process to lead mirrors her wider journey of becoming. Rebecca reflects on art as knowledge created through making, not output.8. Noticing as everyday magickFrom winter roses and unexpected tomatoes in December, to robins, daffodils, chalk pits, ancient skull sites, and dandelions breaking through concrete, this episode celebrates noticing as one of the most powerful magickal practices we have.9. Kindness, boundaries, and transmuting angerThe conversation closes with reflections on love, justice, protest magick, and discernment. Witchcraft is named as a path that does not deny anger or grief, but gives us ways to transmute them into action, boundaries, care, and change.This episode is for you if you:feel called back to magick after time awayare learning to trust themselves againfeel overwhelmed by noise, content, and certainty cultureare rediscovering creativity again in your lifewant magick without pressure, hierarchy, or performancebelieve slowness, noticing, and kindness are radical actsJoin us for a conversation that invites you to exhale, to soften, and to remember that you do not need to know where you're going to walk a magickal path.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

  • Living Magick in the Real World: Intuition, Deconstruction, and the Courage to Come Home to Yourself

    Living Magick in the Real World: Intuition, Deconstruction, and the Courage to Come Home to Yourself
    2025/12/08
    PLEASE NOTE: Suicide is mentioned in this episode, as well as Cynthia's work as an advocate for female survivors of abuse.In today's conversation, I'm delighted to welcome Cynthia for the very first of our new community-centred episodes. Instead of traditional, more formal interviews, these gatherings invite you to sit with us as friends would, following curiosity, truth, and a little everyday enchantment wherever it wants to flow.I've never spoken one-to-one with Cynthia before, and what unfolded was a deeply honest exploration of intuition, leaving religion, finding your own path, and reclaiming magick as a way of being in the world.This episode is a tapestry of personal story, insight, humour, and the kind of grounded witchcraft that makes the mundane shimmer.In this episode, we explore:1. Cynthia’s powerful journey from evangelical Christianity to witchcraftRaised in a religious environment, Cynthia shares how early doubts, motherhood, and profound family experiences began to untangle her from doctrine and move her toward a more authentic spiritual life. Her father’s passing opened a deep reckoning about meaning, purpose, and the life she did not want to live.2. The moment she realised: “I think I might be a witch”From the heart-pounding purchase of her first witchcraft book to recognising lifelong intuitive experiences, Cynthia describes the extraordinary relief of naming what had always been quietly true.3. Intuition as a knowing beyond sightWe explore the nature of intuition, not as voices or visions but as a bone-deep knowing that often speaks before logic catches up. We share personal stories of “turn left instead” moments that proved profoundly important later.I also share how becoming a person of your word strengthens intuition and why not everything needs to be “proved” in order to be honoured.4. Religion, trauma, and the fear of a masculine godCynthia speaks openly about the harm created by the religious masculinity she was raised with and the difficulty of allowing masculine energy in again. We explore a re-framing of masculine and feminine energies as archetypal and relational rather than gendered, hierarchical, or punitive.5. Magick as relationship, not ritualI share stories from my childhood in Cornwall, early magickal encounters, and how nature has always spoken to me. I also describe my priestess training, misconceptions around deities, and why I see gods and goddesses not as authorities but as beings in relationship and reciprocity.6. The importance of community and ritual in a post-religious worldTogether, we explore what is lost when people leave religion: not the dogma, but the communal rhythm, the shared practices, and the rituals that hold us during life’s thresholds. We talk about how magick can restore this sense of grounding through conscious pauses, seasonal rituals, and connection to the land.7. Everyday magick in actionFrom enchanted stones to unexpected conversations at the front door of a courthouse, Cynthia shows how magick moves through the seemingly ordinary moments of life, opening paths of service, compassion, and courage.8. Saying no, wintering, and reclaiming your own paceWe close with a reminder that witchcraft honours cycles. Sometimes magick asks us to act, sometimes to rest. Unlike religious systems rooted in constant servitude, witchcraft grants permission to protect your energy and honour your own seasons.Why this episode mattersThis conversation is a lantern for anyone who is:deconstructing old beliefsexperiencing intuitive awakeningscraving community without dogmawanting a magick that is lived, not performedrebuilding trust in themselvesseeking an approach to spirituality grounded in the land, the body, and everyday lifeIt's vulnerable, warm, wise, and deeply human.

  • The Magick of Beginnings (and Pauses)

    The Magick of Beginnings (and Pauses)
    2025/09/28

    After three months of silence, the longest break in this podcast’s history, I’m back. But this pause wasn’t empty. It was a season of composting, of finishing my MA, and of stepping into the threshold of my PhD.


    In this episode, I share:


    ✨ Why pauses are not failures, but fertile ground for renewal

    ✨ What completing my MA has taught me about cycles of ending and beginning

    ✨ How the threshold of my PhD is reshaping what’s ahead for A Pinch of Magick

    ✨ The symbolic power of autumn’s descent and why release is radical magick

    ✨ The importance of honouring your own transitions


    This episode is both a re-introduction and a reminder: magick isn’t linear. It’s cyclical. Just like the seasons, our lives are woven with growth, fallow times, endings, and new beginnings.

    Whether you’re moving through a big life change, resting in a pause, or just craving more connection to the cycles of magick in your own life, this is your invitation to see thresholds not as interruptions, but as powerful portals.
