Ep. 60, Exploring the Healing Foundations of Witchcraft & Magick

Natalie has been on a magical journey for the past year or so in connecting to the core of her purpose and reaching into the past to understand the larger picture of her journey. She has discovered she comes from a long line of powerful ancestors of Irish, Scottish, and Germanic descent-- powerful priestesses, pagans, and Celtic warriors and healers, also known as witches.  A witch is simply a healer, and magick is real; it's essentially working with the energies of the Universe. There is so much to UNlearn to get to the truth around this topic…  In this episode, we get to explore the beauty in the ancient wisdom our ancestors held and dive in with Christopher Penczak around magick and witchcraft. He is a modern Witch, award-winning author, and co-founder of the Temple of Witchcraft.
