The Empowered Modern Witches Show

In the first official episode of The Sacred Pleasure Temple, Tenae marks the show's rebrand from The Empowered Modern Witches Show and lays out why pleasure is an essential priestess skill, period. She names that in our patriarchal society, we often believe devotion equals sacrifice, and reframes pleasure as a birthright rather than a reward. She walks through the four areas where she weaves pleasure into her own priestess practice: shadow work, intuition, ritual and devotion, and spirit work.Key themes:🔥 Devotion doesn't equal sacrifice🌙 Pleasure is a birthright, not something you earn after enough hard work🕯️ Pleasure builds the resilience needed to do shadow work and move through the underworld👁️ Trusting your body and your pleasure is inseparable from trusting your intuition✨ Devotion to yourself first is how you deprogram patriarchal conditioning as a priestessJoin Tenae for the Priestess Within Summit, August 3 to 6. Twenty free classes on claiming your priestess identity, facilitating ritual, and stepping into sacred leadership.Priestess Within Summit (free): www.lupinehollow.com/priestesssummitConnect with Tenae:Website: www.lupinehollow.comInstagram: @lupinehollow

A personal and practical episode on what it actually looks like to center pleasure even when it feels like your body is working against you. I'm sharing about my IBS diagnosis and health journey, then breaking down my framework for the three types of pleasure: comfort, sensuality, and eroticism.I find that sensuality, specifically, is what makes it possible to live as both someone with chronic illness and someone who practices sacred pleasure every day.Key Topics:Why only talking about pleasure from a "privileged body" perspective leaves most people outThe three types of pleasure: comfort, sensuality, and eroticism as a spectrumWhy comfort is a radical, revolutionary act, not a consolation prizeThe distinction between sensual and sexual (it's in the word: senses, not sex)Sensuality as the bridge back to your body when your body feels like the enemyWhy dropping into your senses can sometimes open up access to eroticism you didn't know you had (if you want it to)Join us for the FREE Lover Within Summit on April 27-30, 2026 - it's a 4-day summit on pleasure, sensuality + sex magic to reawaken desire and reconnect with your body after grief, change, or burnout.Sponsored by The Body Witch, Invoke Boudoir, and Spirit Element⁠Click here to get your free ticket!

A raw, personal life update about the last few months - a big move, a breakup, living alone for the first time, and a 2+ month dry spell... all while deepening my work around pleasure and sex magic. (Whew!)I'm unpacking my own imposter syndrome around being somehow both too much and not enough to be teaching pleasure work while also redesigning my life, rituals, routines, and relationships from the ground up. I've been unraveling old desires, untangling what I thought I wanted, and redefining some of the words that have lost all meaning for me, (like romantic.)Key Topics:Moving into my own solo home for the first time everRealizing that my rituals weren't as much "mine" as I thought... even the one I've been doing for 10 yearsBeing in the creative, primordial goo and the overwhelm of making all the decisions for myselfWhy I haven't had sex in two months... and the imposter syndrome that has come with it as a "sex priestess"Join us for the FREE Lover Within Summit on April 27-30, 2026 - it's a 4-day summit on pleasure, sensuality + sex magic to reawaken desire and reconnect with your body after grief, change, or burnout.Sponsored by The Body Witch, Invoke Boudoir, and Spirit ElementClick here to get your free ticket!

We're often taught that desire is something to mistrust - it's frivolous, selfish, and indulgent. But what if I told you that desire is just another form of intuition - a fiery inner spark of eros that's guiding you to your most honest and alive life? In this episode, we're letting desire lead the way! We're covering: ❤️‍🔥 Why the distrust of desire is rooted in purity culture (and not just in Christianity)❤️‍🔥 The difference between true desire and impulse or instant gratification❤️‍🔥 What desire actually feels like in the body❤️‍🔥 How erotic energy, (sometimes sexual, sometimes not), can be understood as intuition speakingIf this conversation resonates, then the free Oracle Within Summit is for you.January 26–29, 2026A free 4-day summit on intuition + divinationLearn to connect with your intuition and cultivate self-trust so you can confidently make decisions that break the rules  📌 Link to join:  https://lupinehollow.krtra.com/t/hElbSwQ1DmCp

In this episode, I'm sharing four personal stories of times I made an intuitive choice... and it seemed like it all went wrong. These are the stories we're most afraid of - the reasons we so often second-guess and doubt our own inner wisdom. Because we're afraid of making the "wrong" choice and losing stability, relationships, money, or comfort. We're afraid of having regrets. In this discussion, we're talking about why intuitive choices can sometimes feel so scary in the moment, recognizing the difference between intuition vs fear or anxiety, and my own examples of times I trusted myself... and it didn't go how I thought it would. We're covering: Choices about career and relationships Why intuitive actions sometimes cost us something (but they're still the right choices)How to step out of perfectionism and allow your journey to be your own - not a game you have to master or get "right"The Oracle Within Summit (FREE)January 26–29, 2026A free 4-day summit on intuition + divinationLearn to connect with your intuition and cultivate self-trust so you can confidently make decisions that break the rules  📌 Link to join: https://lupinehollow.krtra.com/t/hElbSwQ1DmCpAll-Access Pass (Optional Upgrade)Includes bonus resources, classes, and a brand new 7-day audio practice to help you learn to trust your body as part of intuitive trust.

Most of the ways you've been taught to do shadow work will actually keep you stuck in the same old loops for years on end. You journal, you reflect, you pull tarot cards, you analyze your astrology chart — but nothing in your real life actually changes.Even when you have a lot of self-awareness and understand where your shadows come from, if you're approaching this work only intellectually, and not moving your shadows out of your body or making changes in your real daily life... you're going to stay stuck. In this episode, you’ll discover why that happens — and what to do instead.You’ll learn:✨ The three phases of shadow work (and why you get trapped in phase two of understanding)✨ Why awareness and understanding aren’t enough to shift your subconscious patterns✨ How to reclaim your shadows instead of trying to fix or heal yourselfI’ll also share my own stories of reclaiming shadows like anger, anxiety, and “neediness” in my relationships — and how you can do the same in your own life.💫 If you’re ready to stop looping on the same shadows and finally take your power back, join me inside The Reclamation — my 8-week immersive program to reclaim your shadows, liberate your power, and live with unapologetic purpose + pleasure.

In this episode, I'm joined by Afura Nefertiti who is a returning guest and a long-time friend and fellow witch. Afura and I are discussing her shift towards working more with feminine energy and how the masculine structures and systems she's worked with in the past still serve her... but are no longer her most important focus in her life or spiritual practice. She shares about how she is opening up to receive more rest, support, and creative expression and talks about how our patriarchal society overvalues productivity.Learn more about the topic of feminine versus masculine energy - which is present in all of us, regardless of gender - during Afura's presentation in The Goddess Within Summit, a free virtual event happening April 28-30, 2025. Click here to get your free ticket!Connect with AfuraWebsite: https://writingwitch.comInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/afuranefertitiPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/thewritingwitchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@afura_the_writing_witchYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWritingWitch/?sub_confirmation+1

In this episode, I'm sharing my very personal stories of coming out as a witch, as polyamorous, and as bisexual - and how each new layer of authenticity that I've uncovered has led me closer and closer to the goddess within. We're talking about what goddess work is - and what it isn't. Did you know that you can practice goddess work... without every worshipping or even working with a goddess directly? You absolutely CAN and I'm sharing lots of ideas for rituals to help you connect with goddess energy, including my own personal goddess practices. But what goddess work is truly about is softening into beauty, opening your heart to receiving, releasing shame around pleasure and rest, and honoring your truest desires and authentic self. ---You'll learn all about these topics, how to work with specific goddesses, and reconnecting to pleasure without shame at the free Goddess Within Summit, happening April 28-30, 2025!

In this episode, I'm joined by Jill McArthur who is a professional tarot card reader with a focus on empowerment and self-reflection. Jill is a third-generation witch with roots in a magical lineage, beginning with her grandmother, who was an herbalist in Pakistan. Jill and I talked about her journey into working with tarot as an intuitive, but also reflective tool. She shared about some of her own practices with tarot as a wonderful support in "present-telling" - really being in the present moment and reflecting on your current circumstances, rather than anxiously living in the potential future. Jill also dispelled some common misconceptions about tarot.

In this episode, I'm sharing the juicy story of the #1 time I didn't trust my intuition - which centers around my big breakup back in 2023 so we're really spilling the tea here. Post-breakup, I've found myself on a journey to non-monogamy which has been deeply personal and healing - and trusting myself has been the key to getting here. I talk in this episode about a time when I had an intuitive hit, but didn't trust it, and another time when I heard the hit loud and clear and followed it through. In both instances, the nature of my intuition was quiet, direct, and very certain, which is a notable way to differentiate intuition from fear and external influences - it's always quiet and never chaotic.I'll be talking a lot more about these themes of what it means to really trust your intuition during the free Oracle Within Summit happening February 26-28, as well as sharing more stories and examples from my own life! Click here to get your free ticket now!The Witch of Lupine Hollow - Embodying Simplicity in Magick, Ritual & Self-CareThe Oracle Within Summit - The Witch of Lupine HollowThe Oracle Within A Free 3-Day Summit for Connecting with Your Intuition and Cultivating Self-Trust Awaken your intuition, learn to trust yourself, and step into your most magickal life among a supportive community of fellow witches February 26-28, 2025 Presented by The Witch of Lupine Hollow • An Empowered Modern Witches Summit REGISTER FOR FREE February

She is a cool ass person and I'm so excited to have her on the podcast! Mel and I talked about the intersection of sex and death, rather than the usual phrasing of "life and death", and how these two often-taboo tools and experiences are powerful ways to empower ourselves. She shared about the idea of the body as the first temple of manifestation and also how we can hold the nuanced reality of disease and illness. We discussed concepts such as conscious kink, seeing sex as something creative, and knowing that death is a force beyond our control. It's a super juicy episode and probably in one of my top ten fave interviews ever.... so give it a listen!.

In this episode, we are exploring the dark divine feminine, which is an aspect that can be found in all of us, regardless of gender. Dark goddesses can be found in almost every culture, pantheon, and mythology as an essential aspect of humanity and working with them as deities or archetypes can be deeply healing to our shadow selves. We are talking about the myths of Lilith, Inanna, Persephone, Eris, and Melusina, as well as a little insight from the love goddess, Venus, too. I'll be delving much deeper into these goddesses and the shadows and aspects of us they represent during my presentation on dark goddess asteroids during the summit!

So many of us feel deep fear or shame around being a witch, even though we know we are meant for a magickal life. These are called witch wounds - wounds that have been passed down to us from our collective ancestors during the time of the European Witch Trials, a time when it was unsafe to be known as a witch or even to arouse suspicion of such a thing. Many of us still carry these wounds that keep us ashamed of the power within and afraid of others finding out about our spiritual, magickal, and witchy inclinations. In this season-opening episode, I'm exploring how this fear and shame can show up in our lives and ways to release them so we can live more authentically. Here are the key steps to releasing these shadows around your inner witch: Reflect on where your fear comes from - hint: it's almost certainly not from inside of yourself Ask yourself what you're actually afraid of - what consequences do you fear? Start to imagine what your magickal life could truly look like on the other side of that fear Join us for the 5th annual Empowered Modern Witches Summit happening September 23-27, 2024!

Have you ever wanted to work more with the moon phases but weren't sure what exactly to DO?

Lorriane and I have been witchy friends and colleagues for many years and often find ourselves on parallel spiritual journeys. In the episode, Lorriane and I chat about our own spiritual practices and how they have evolved over the years, how sometimes skipping rituals can be more mindful and present than pushing through or going through the motions, and how to adapt the cycles of nature like the Wheel of the Year to suit your own needs. Lorriane also shared a really interesting and useful reframe of the Wheel of the Year, not just as seasonal festivals at specific times of year but as expressions of powerful human emotions that we might experience or tap into even in the "wrong" season, (such as tapping into the grief of Samhain in spring or summer.)

She is the founder of Rowan + Sage, where she shares handcrafted astrologically-aligned herbal products, works with clients in her clinical practice, and guides others on their plant path through educational programs and mentorship.

In this episode, I'm sharing all about how you to bring the abstract, intellectual concepts of astrology down to earth, using real-world tools like plants, crystals, and tarot cards. Every sign in the zodiac is associated with an element, (fire, earth, air, or water), and an archetype or a character that embodies its energy. Plants, crystals, tarot cards, and even goddesses are also associated with elements and archetypes in this way, connecting them to the signs and planets in astrology. You can bring a particular tool, or "ally", into your life and spiritual practice in order to channel and harness the energy signature of a particular sign or planet or even to balance one out.

In this episode, I'm sharing all about how to understand one of the most complicated and confusing aspects of astrology: the transits. Transits is a very broad, catch-all term for pretty much anything the sun, moon, planets, and asteroids do - change signs, go retrograde, form aspects to one another, and more. I'm sharing my controversial opinions about which transits are important to pay attention to and which really don't matter that much, both collectively and based on your own chart. Plus, I'm also giving you the inside track on how to know which transits are most likely to be really impactful for you personally. Want to learn even more about astrology with me?

In this episode, I'm chatting with Kir Beaux, (they/ them), who is an Afro-Indigenous, Trans, Non-Binary Queer, psychic witch, and spiritual counselor. Kir offers Spirit channeling sessions and education via Pink Opal Magic. We talked all about The Emperor tarot card and how it is associated with Aries season, but reframed outside of the restricting patriarchal, capitalistic framework of the past. Rather than seeing The Emperor as this energy of authority, patriarchy, and being in charge of others, let's shift our focus to the true energy of Aries: inner, soul fire and taking up exactly as much space as we are meant to. We also touched on Kir's own tarot practice of reflection, checks and balances, and working with their guides for clarity.

In this episode, I'm deep diving into what astrology is, how to read your own birth chart, and why your birth chart can help you in all areas of your life. We're talking about the planets and luminaries, the twelve signs of the zodiac, the twelve houses, and how they can combine in infinite ways to reflect who you are as a person. Learning about my own moon sign many years ago, and then the rest of my chart, has quite literally changed my life. It's given me so much more self-awareness and understanding of and compassion for my tendencies, triggers, and needs. I hope it can do the same for you!
