The Secrets of a Witch Podcast

By popular demand, in this episode I explain what a pick me woman (or “pickmeisha”) is. I give some examples of how pick me women act and think, as well as some of the extreme dark manifestations of this mindset and energy. I would argue that most women go through a phase like this as teens and young adults, and it’s part of stepping into womanhood to choose self worth, self love, and strong bound...

I hate to be that person who is like, “but LOGIC!” I feel like I sound like a 13 year old boy who just took his first philosophy class, lol. But alas, I am someone who is finishing up my PhD in Philosophy of Science, and who found myself shifting over the years from politically far left to being more conservative and on the right. I noticed a left steeped in identitarianism and tribalism, who mobi...

Hi friends! Wow, it didn’t take long for my week ahead tarot reading to catch up with my personal life! I talk about noticing patterns in our tarot readings, and the importance of taking note when repeat cards come up. I also talk about the most important quality in a conflict: curiosity. // Check out my tarot reading for the week ahead at https://YouTube.com/sabrinascott //// Sign up for my Ances...

Hi friends! In this episode I share some of what this full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus is all about, what some of the big lessons have been for me (as well as a very surprising and insightful tarot reading), and how making space for stillness and surprise can allow us the permission and inspiration to pivot in new, fulfilling directions. // Learn more about Tarot Without Bullshit here: https://sa...

My friends, I know. I’ve done it too. Put off important things, adulting things, or things I actually really love and want to do but… don’t. Whether it’s in learning tarot, dealing with finances and taxes, cleaning out the cat litter, or writing our next book, it’s easy to just say “I’ll do it later.” In this episode I talk about why we should do the thing, and I share some common protestations of...

My friends. I’ve seen so many tarot learners tell themselves - and believe - stuff that just absolutely isn’t true about learning and getting good at tarot. Instead of taking a leap to try something new, and believing in ourselves, many of us delude ourselves into inaction and we hold ourselves back from pursuing our interests and moving towards our goals. In this episode I debunk the biggest, wor...

Why does learning tarot take so long? Well, let me tell you why it absolutely doesn’t have to. We live in a hyper individual society where no one wants to admit that (or when) they need help. However, when we accept teachings and guidance from mentors we can accelerate our growth and our learning. In this episode I talk all about why and how mentorship will catapult your tarot practice light years...

In this episode I answer a question someone recently slid into my DMS: How often should I cleanse my deck? Does it matter what sign the moon is in? Should I cleanse my cards during a full moon or eclipse? You may be surprised by my answer! // My Tarot Without Bullshit online course and group coaching program, running since 2019, relaunches on October 24! | Sign up for my Ancestor Magic Masterclass...

Hi friends! Have you ever been curious about mediumship - either what it is, how to do it, or how it may be relevant to or improve your life and spiritual practice? While I was raised in Spiritualism, which promotes a more purist form of mediumship, I love to work with my tarot cards in my mediumship and channelling work both for myself and my clients. In this episode, I talk a bit about why and h...

Yes, friends! It’s true! Whenever you whip out your cards and do a reading for yourself, do you stop midway and flip through your tarot guidebook, or handy tarot website? We’ve all been there, but in this episode I share how and why this practice will clog up your intuition and lead to worse tarot skills overall. There is another way, my friends! | My Tarot Without Bullshit online course and group...

In this episode I discuss a very common thing - yes, something that even I’ve experienced - fear of tarot cards! No, I don’t mean being afraid of decks of tarot cards themselves, but actually asking the cards what we reeeallly want to know: often things we are afraid to know the answers to, or things we would rather avoid or not face. In this episode I discuss why we should face our fears and ask...

“The veil is thinning!” If I had an apple oat macchiato every time I heard someone say that, I would likely explode from overconsumption of sugar, haha. In this episode, I discuss what on earth everyone on witchy Instagram (and I assume TikTok) means when they suggest that “the veil is thin” around this time of year. I explain what exactly the “veil” is, and why some people think that autumn creat...

In this episode I discuss why you might want to connect with your ancestors and deceased relatives, even if you didn’t have a great relationship in life.

Hi friends! A little belatedly, I wanted to talk to y’all about my brand new tarot journal, the Getting to Know the Cards Tarot Journal. It’s totally different from my Card of the Day Tarot Journal, where you record all your readings! In this episode I explain my inspiration behind creating this very unique, one of a kind tarot journal, and why it’s something you will want to add to your tarot col...

Hi friends! Happy Friday! Today on the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I share a funny anecdote about how this week I got locked inside a downtown farm… all alone! If I had listened to my intuition, this wouldn’t have happened - in this episode, I explain the how and why.

Join me as I listen to the waves and talk about how little actions can reignite our creativity - and how mindless, pointless creation can be transformative and freeing.

In this episode I discuss a quick method to read tarot to help with decision making, particularly when choosing between two paths. Tarot doesn’t have to be complicated! I also give some tips for how to interpret the more ambiguous cards in this context.

In this episode, I discuss the current culture of fear around fully expressing ourselves. We are not in an expressive, heart open, anything goes, experimental and experiential culture - we’re in a moment where there are good opinions and bad opinions, moral identities and immoral identities. Nuance has all but disappeared, and anyone who dare be a little more complicated in their thought can look...

Hi friends! In today’s episode of the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I talk about the importance of reading books we are a little wary of reading, whether that’s because they’re banned, or because we may think or be afraid that the content is heretical or offensive. I’ve observed so much fear in the past few days around certain ideas, and the idea that being around or in contact with certain books/id...

Hi friends! As Virgo season wanes, we jump into Libra season - and one of the witchiest cross quarter days of the year, the fall or autumnal equinox. As the light begins to wane and the darkness takes over, it’s a time sacred to many witchy folks. In todays episode I talk all about the fall equinox, what to reflect on, how to connect spiritually with this moment, and more. I also invite y’all to a...
