The Heal and Harm Show

In this episode, Nick from The Occult Rejects comes back on the show! We discuss the interesting relationship between science and magic, and how there's a lot of scientific influence within magic, and vice versa. We discuss how you don't have to pick one or the other, and how magic and alchemy were deeply influential in the development of science over the last few hundred years.  On The Heal and H...

In this episode of The Heal and Harm Show, I chat with astrologer Sara Ashley about her experiences with what she calls a 'handler' in the astrological and spiritual community, including in business relationships and friendships. Manipulation is oddly common in many spiritual communities, and in this episode we get into the depths of what that looks like and how to avoid it. We also talk about the...

In my second episode with The Tarot Lady Theresa Reed, we discuss the importance of taking responsibility for our own lives, and connecting with our personal agency, no matter what our astrology or tarot says. We have free will, and don’t have to give into sadness and fatalism. We talk about the importance of claiming our own spiritual authority over our own life, rather than giving into fear mong...

In this episode of The Heal and Harm Show, I chat with digital marketer, author, and chicken farmer Matt Rouse. We discuss the rise of artificial intelligence, the role of (and rising lack of) media literacy, and the resurgence of physical and craft-based hobbies and practices such as farming or crochet. Matt explains what AI hallucinations are, how chatbots work and think (and what their limitati...

On this episode of The Heal and Harm Show, I chat with Moses Siregar, an astrologer and astrocartographer who works with both Western and Vedic astrology.  We chat about the sacred responsibility of being high-stakes spiritual advisors to our clients (whether that’s within the scope of astrology or tarot), when newbies should teach and give readings (and to who), and what can go wrong when people...

In this episode, I have Nick from The Occult Rejects back on the show, because we had so much to discuss! We start off by chatting about Nick's departure from the OTO, whether or not masculine/feminine energy has anything to do with how communities kick people out or welcome people in (and deal with people who leave).  Then we talk a bit about prison, and what spirituality looks like in a prison c...

Possibly the episode I was most excited to record, and the one that has been the most personal and close to home for me! Amber was my yoga/pilates teacher for many years when I lived in downtown Toronto - I was at her studio for 10-15 hours a week at the top of my practice. Her movement style was deeply transformative, and I haven't found a movement teacher who is so magical and gifted before or s...

In this episode, I chat with artist, educator, mystic, and deck creator Lindsay Williams! Lindsay is the creator of mystic channelled artwork that she calls 'oracular mysticism,' as well as multiple tarot/oracle decks, including the cult classic Desert Illuminations Tarot, recently picked up by US Games. We discuss the role of landscape/environment in the creative process, and how connecting with...

In this enlivening and enlightening conversaton with prolific author and tarot reader Theresa Reed, otherwise known as The Tarot Lady, we discuss interpersonal group dynamics, what happens when we try to find community (in tarot or spirituality, yoga, whatever) in dysfunctional and unhealed spaces when we ourselves are not healed or grounded. We also discuss being lone wolves, in both life in gene...

In this very fun fourth episode of The Heal and Harm Show with Sabrina Scott, I chat with Dr Natalia Zhikhareva, otherwise known as Dr Z PhD, or the Tarot Shrink! We chat about the self-help and self-healing space, and about how to work with tarot for self reflection and healing in a way that moves us forward in our growth, rather than holding us back. We talk about psychology and tarot, the probl...

In this episode of The Heal and Harm Show, I chat with amazing human and oracle and tarot deck creator Marisa de la Pena about her decks, why she took steps away from the spiritual, witchy, and tarot space, and what's inspired her to come back into the community after a few years away. Marisa is the creator of Circo Tarot and the Persephone Tarot, and the How to Deal Tarot aquired by Harper Collin...

Hello and welcome to the second episode of The Heal and Harm Show with Sabrina Scott! On this episode I speak with Sara Ashley Astrology. We discuss the astrology community right now, including the exteme aspects of it (including both the far left and far right of astrology land), starseeds and blood types (and weirdness of physical superiority in woo woo land), and spiritual community and outrage...

On this FIRST EVER (!) episode of The Heal and Harm Show, I talk with Nick from the super popular Occult Rejects podcast and YouTube. We discuss Nick's experience in the OTO (the good, the bad, and why he left), how he got into occultism, what inspired him to start The Occult Rejects, what he's learned along the way, as well as his big beefs with the occult community and advice for anyone seeking...
