A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

How to slow down when you’re afraid you’ll fall behind 57:42

19 hours ago57:42

57:42

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is diving into the profound topic of ‘slowing down’, particularly when we are faced with the fear of falling behind. Exploring through the lens of Archetypal remedy, Phosphorus - a symbol for those sensitive souls who burn brightly and risk burning out without boundaries and self-care. In this episode she explores the importance of rest, the intuitive healing wisdom within, and practical enquiries for beginning to integrate the lessons around slowing down in daily life. She shares personal stories and witchy medicine to help you recognise and heal common ‘Secret Witch’ patterns of urgency and burnout - that can even sabotage us in the reclamation of our magic, in our tendency to rush to quick fixes, when we think we are broken (which we are not - as this episode highlights!). What You’ll Learn from this Episode: There’s usually a deep-seated wound that often stops us from slowing down - and that’s the fear of falling behind (though it can also be other things) When we push through and try to speed up, we’re often responding to a childhood fear or experience of being inadequate or abandoned Likewise there is a cultural conditioning - societal norms often reward us and make us feel more valid if we are urgent and productive, which leads to a collective misunderstanding that rest is the equivalent of laziness We can heal this by working with the archetypal remedy, Phosphorus - symbolised by the substance on a match which lights fires, this represents our passion and radiance in a healthy state, but in our wounded state, it points to our sensitivity that leads to burn out The route to healing this pattern is really about becoming aware of our internal patterns and the stories that drive our need for constant action - and loving these lost parts of our soul back home.

How to express your soul in the world from inner wisdom and authenticity (and why that's healing) 1:14:06

15 days ago1:14:06

1:14:06

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Kim Kaase. Kim is the creator of Authentic Influence, a transformative messaging framework designed for experienced coaches, mentors, and visionaries. With a background in high-level sales and business strategy, she helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs craft clear, aligned messaging that resonates deeply - without resorting to hype or manipulation. She empowers her clients to amplify their impact while staying true to their soul voice and values. Her mission is to revolutionize marketing by fostering genuine connection, integrity, and sustainability in business. In this episode we explore the true value of ‘authentic’ soul expression - and why it’s so important, both personally and in our businesses as healers. Reflecting on Kim’s healing journey, her spiritual awakenings and the realisation that true self-expression requires surrendering to a deeper divine guidance, she dived into the distinction between ‘authentic influence’ and ‘manipulation’, the ongoing nature of reclaiming our authentic self (and the fears and challenges that come up with that), and the revolutionary potential of AI in capturing and harnessing our true message (even though it may seem the very opposite of authenticity). She expressed the importance of aligning with our soul to express our gifts, as a powerful reminder for aspiring healers that sharing our voice is the remedy. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: We can often feel unsafe to express ourselves due to the expectations of society - which often have us stuck in patterns of staying on the hamster wheel, burning out, people-pleasing and hiding our magic To begin the journey back to authenticity requires us to get quiet, pause and attune to our inner wisdom - even though that can feel challenging (and we also might not like what we hear) - we have to have time to ‘gestate’ our rebirth Facing our fear of expressing ourselves isn’t easy, and requires deep courage and acceptance that being authentic and sharing our voices may result in both adoration and criticism (and staying open to seeing that’s okay!) As aspiring healers, it’s important to learn a new way of business and marketing that comes from a more feminine lens (supported by the masculine), rather than some of the more ‘traditional’ marketing approaches which come from the lens of lack and manipulation. To do that, we need to learn to have ‘authentic influence’ - to embody the frequency of purity and truth - which is different from ‘manipulative’ marketing. Whilst we might think that AI is robotic and the opposite of authenticity, AI can be a really supportive container to hold our message as we begin to create - offering a masculine structure of remembering our values, whilst allowing us to focus on authentic expression. There are different levels of consciousness (intuitive, intellectual, willful, reactive) which influence how we market ourselves as healers - and it’s helpful to have awareness of these (and which level we, and the people we can serve are in) to reach people authentically. There’s no ‘right’ in how we express our message as healers - only learning to be had. We just have to start expressing our souls, and be open to learning what meets people where they are.

How to stop fighting the lesson and start receiving the remedy 57:06

28 days ago57:06

57:06

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is diving into how our struggles, challenges, things going ‘wrong’, and even our trauma can become our remedies - and how we can reclaim our power and stop fighting that alchemy process. Sharing her own personal journey, she explores how we enter ‘remedy states’ each time we meet challenges - and how we have been conditioned to shy away from and avoid our darkness, which often leaves us (innocently) locked in that wounded state, ‘resisting’ the lesson. Instead, she shares how we can open to learning new skills to meet ourselves lovingly in our triggers, wounds and challenges, so that we can receive the gold from them. Exploring how our gifts are found in our wounds - and how we can cultivate self-love, safety, vulnerability, and deeper intimacy with them in order to heal ourselves - this episode offers a transformative perspective of challenges as opportunities for growth. And it does this in a way that doesn’t also have us ‘bypassing’ our pain, but honouring and acknowledging it - aka truly healing it. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: ‘Lessons’ are often to be found in all the things that go ‘wrong’ in our lives - our challenging experiences or traumas not met well in childhood often lead us to a cycle of suppression and fear of adversity This can ‘lock us in’ to a remedy state that clouds who we are, leaving our scared, wounded inner little girl in charge of navigating our challenges - until we reclaim our power by welcoming and loving her, so that we can pause and go into find the gold in them We assume that healing should be a quick fix sticky plaster that immediately solves our challenge - but really, true healing often involves a healing response that takes us back to the moment we experienced a soul rupture, so that we can revisit it and decide again - whilst we unsuppress whatever was suppressed. That moment is where our lesson is, which makes our moments of challenge opportunities for healing People can often be our biggest triggers, but they are also ‘remedies’ and mirrors for us in our healing - that’s why Nicole has created the Secret Witch’s Apothecary Membership We often need to create a sense of safety for our child to meet triggers - because for the Secret Witch, especially, this way of working is largely not something that’s been modelled. It requires us to learn new healing skills - like nervous system tending, true self-love and acceptance, and capacity to hold the tension and pause in our triggers - and these skills can take a little time, tenderness and love to learn.

How to harness the power of sister circles for healing 1:05:03

6 weeks ago1:05:03

1:05:03

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Gemma Brady. Gemma is the founder of Sister Stories, which is on a mission to make going to Women's Circles as common as yoga class. She has dedicated her life to creating spaces for people to tell important stories. Beginning her career as an award winning filmmaker, she believes in the healing power of storytelling and created Sister Stories as a means of offering women an opportunity to come together and experience the transformative power of being seen and heard. In this episode Gemma and Nicole explore the transformative power of sister circles and how our personal stories facilitate healing - for both ourselves and others. Exploring the understandable fears associated with stepping into spaces of sisterhood - like vulnerability, and the fear of persecution - and the importance of fostering unconditional love, honouring our triggers and having the courage to share our voices, we illuminate the vital need for sisterhood in the permission-giving reclamation of our authentic expression - and how that’s the medicine for the world (including the mainstream!). What You’ll Learn from this Episode: Sister circles are a potent space of healing and permission-giving, providing a space for self-discovery, expression and gentle activism - which can help change the world through compassion, connection and community Both in leading and participating in sister circles, being authentically ourselves, and acknowledging our vulnerabilities, is crucial for creating deep healing We can often feel the fear of joining a circle of sisterhood - and if we feel we can’t share anything else, simply naming our fears can be so healing in and of itself Listening is also a vital, courageous act - it allows people to hold space for each other’s complex stories and can activate deep self-illumination - people are remedies, and circle allows others to mirror where we need love As facilitators, we aren’t there to ‘get it right’ or be ‘more advanced’ - our role is as a gentle steward, creating and holding space for the group - if you’re just starting out, keep it simple and be authentic, rather than thinking you have to ‘do more’ - the medicine is in you expressing your unique authentic self (aka ‘being’ your remedy).

How to navigate a relationship (authentically) when your partner isn't 'witchy' 1:06:56

8 weeks ago1:06:56

1:06:56

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole vulnerably addresses the common challenges that Secret Witches can face in romantic relationships - being our true selves when our partners are not ‘witchy’ . Discussing the natural fear of judgement, shame and rejection - and how our ‘difference’ can feel like we are living “secret” lives, feeling lonely and disconnected and leaving us feeling unheard and unseen - she shares how to take tender steps to empower ourselves into liberating our authenticity. In this episode Nicole talks openly about her personal journey with childhood trauma and abusive relationships, exploring how embracing her true self helped transform her current partnership. She offers practical journaling prompts, advice on the inner work and answers listener questions on how to find alignment with partners, as well as sharing why ‘difference’ is actually crucial to union. She also guides you into cultivating an inner safety to share your vulnerability, and how to work with self-healing (and self-validation) for deeper intimacy and connection. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: As ‘witches’, we can often feel deeply fearful about being our authentic selves in our romantic relationship - bringing up the witch wound fear of being judged and abandoned - yet opening up to expressing ourselves doesn’t always have to obliterate our lives, and we can open to it tenderly, with small steps ‘Difference’ isn’t a bad thing - we actually need polarity in relationships, because that’s what creates union as we complement each other - so being a ‘witchy’, mysterious feminine essence being in a relationship with a logical masculine essence being may not actually be quite as bad as our inner little girl imagines Being our authentic selves is vital in deepening intimacy and connection in our relationships - and even attracting soul-aligned partners - even though it will likely feel deeply vulnerable We often need to cultivate a sense of ‘inner safety’ within ourselves first, welcoming our authentic ‘witch’ home to ourselves first - until it’s inevitable that no one can reject this part of ourselves (or if they do, we welcome this part of ourselves so deeply that this becomes okay) We can do this by beginning to do the inner work (such as working with archetypal remedies) to discover our wounding patterns and how they are contributing to us abandoning our authentic self - and by surrounding ourselves with likeminded souls until our expression starts to feel safe We don’t have to jump to boldly declaring our witch status - we might start small by sharing aspects of our witch, such as loving wild wanders or enjoying full moon rituals - tender steps and deep love for the parts of us that feel unsafe is the way.

How to harness homeopathy for self-healing 1:14:48

10 weeks ago1:14:48

1:14:48

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Marcus Fernandez. Marcus has been practicing and teaching homeopathy for over thirty years worldwide. His journey in homeopathy has been marked by dedication to both education and practice, having founded the Centre for Homeopathic Education (CHE) in London. Marcus’s vision is to make homeopathy accessible to everyone. He firmly believes in empowering people to take charge of their families’ health and well-being through homeopathy. His contribution to the field was recognized in 2021 when he was made a Fellow of the Society of Homeopaths for his outstanding service to the profession. In this episode, we explore Marcus’s journey from aspiring rockstar to acclaimed homeopath. Diving into the science and art of homeopathy as a ‘magical’ energy medicine system for self-healing, we studied some basic universal principles - such as ‘like cures like’ - and historical and alchemical roots of homeopathy that make this ancient wisdom body effective. Providing an inspiring and compelling case for the ancient practice's relevance and efficacy in modern times, Marcus addressed some of the common doubts and fears about homeopathy - and fears that can come up around embracing more ‘magical’ healing methods - making a stand for trusting our wisdom on what’s ‘Truth’. He also offered practical advice on how listeners can incorporate homeopathy into their lives. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: Homeopathic principles say that illness is really caused by ‘suppression’ - differing to mainstream medicine, which often suppresses symptoms without addressing underlying issues, homeopathy seeks to treat the root cause, leading to true healing Homeopathy empowers individuals to heal themselves by aligning them with their internal truth and natural healing capacities, encouraging trust in personal intuition and holistic health practices The remedies work on the law of similars (‘like cures like’) and, traditionally, involve highly diluted substances that retain the energetic essence of the original material, akin to principles in quantum physics (although science is still ‘catching up’ to homeopathy) Remedies in effect take us back to times in our lives where we experienced trauma, so that we can ‘choose again’ - whether to release the trauma or remain holding it Homeopathy is also something that’s been doubted and ridiculed as ‘pseudo-science’ which can have Secret Witches feel the fear of being judged as ‘lunatics’ if they work with it - and yet, when we try it, our embodied experience often reveals that it works All the healing wisdom we need is already within us - we are not broken, we have all we need already - if homeopathy calls to us, we can try it out for ourselves and live into our own experience of it with an open mind and trust of our inner wisdom and truth Beginners can start with homeopathic kits and guides like Marcus's book "Homeopathy at Home," gradually exploring remedies for common ailments while understanding the principles and subtleties of holistic healing.

How to heal our body's pains (magically) 1:03:33

12 weeks ago1:03:33

1:03:33

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is sharing ‘Magical Healing 101’. Exploring her perspective on how to heal our body’s physical pains by entering an initiation into our witch and learning to harness alternative healing ‘magic’, she invites listeners into a new ‘worldview’ of healing science and art that contrasts to the ‘mainstream’ way. Nicole discusses her own journey with pains like chronic fatigue, menstrual pains - endometriosis - and thyroid imbalances, exploring ‘allopathic’ versus ‘holistic’ healing, emphasising the need to illuminate underlying causes of physical pains. In this episode Nicole explores the importance of expressing our uniqueness (rather than suppressing ourselves, which is the ‘cause’ of disease), explaining some universal laws. She invites you to claim your power to heal yourself, sharing how we can do that by learning to work with our ‘inner apothecary’ of archetypal remedies, and offering some ‘practical’ steps to begin this - along with an invitation to reclaim your self-healing power. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: Mainstream medicine (allopathy) differs in its worldview about ‘quick fix’ healing to alternative, holistic approaches which focus on unsuppressing our souls and principles of ‘like cures like’ Because of that, mainstream medicine can struggle to heal ‘mysterious’ pains that are really pointing us towards the deeper, root-cause underlying patterns The Witch can help us to reclaim our power - our pains are often unseen ‘initiations’ into our self-healing gifts - and a deeper understanding of ourselves True healing requires us to not suppress, but address underlying emotional and psychological causes that manifest physical symptoms Archetypal Remedies offer both a psychological and physical map to our healing - and learning to harness our ‘inner apothecary’ of remedies can empower us to heal ourselves This requires an openness to a new worldview, perhaps a slower pace of healing - and being willing to be in the messiness of discovery - which we can feel resistance to in a world where we’ve been taught there’s a ‘quick fix’, but it’s worth it when it truly heals us Resources and things that we spoke about: Join our Secret Witch’s Apothecary Membership: Register your Interest here: https://www.nicolebarton.co.uk/membership Our Social Links: Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@archetypalapothecary Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamnicolebarton/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/archetypalapothecary/ You Tube - https://www.youtube.com/@secretwitchsociety Join our free Secret Witch Sisterhood: http://www.facebook.com/groups/secretwitch Website: http://www.nicolebarton.co.uk Youtube Episode: https://youtu.be/PXfhplul4zc Thank you for listening, we’d love to know what comes alive for you in this week’s episode, so please let us know.

How 'practical witchcraft' and 'ritual' can help us reclaim our self-healing power 1:01:40

14 weeks ago1:01:40

1:01:40

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Emma Griffin. Described as a real-life embodiment of Molly Weasley from Harry Potter, Emma is a modern-day full-time witch, healer, and author whose work guides women back to alignment by reconnecting with the ancient wisdom of their ancestors. Rooted in the interconnectedness of nature and the soul, Emma’s teachings aim to awaken the innate magic within us all, helping women rediscover their purpose and authentic selves. Emma’s new book, ‘The Witch’s Way Home’ serves as a roadmap for self-discovery, healing, and stepping into authentic power. In this juicy episode we explore Emma’s personal journey, marked by moments of stress, illness, grief, and self-discovery, and how it awakened her to the transformative self-healing power of witchcraft and ritual. Exploring challenges like infertility and cancer diagnosis, we explore how healing the ‘witch wound’ - aka reclaiming our true, authentic full expression of who we are - can help us manifest health. Diving into ancient, feminine, ancestral wisdom, seasonal living, emotional release - and the importance of presence, self-love and sisterhood - we explored the healing process and how the witch can help us reclaim ourselves. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: Witchcraft can save our lives - literally. By embracing the power, magic and authenticity of the witch, we can heal on all different levels - including physical, mental-emotional and spiritual Whether we are ‘witches’ or not, the route of healing is really via healing our suppression and suppressed trauma - and reclaiming our authentic voices (which the witch holds a mirror to) To heal, requires us to face the ‘witch wound’ - we have to overcome societal judgement and fear of being a witch and sharing our true, authentic self-expression As we do, bravely own who we are - whether that’s a witch or something else - we connect more deeply to those who are like us (including our dream clients, if we are here to be healers) We must embrace the ancient wisdom of our ancestors - they knew that the real route of healing is through story-telling around the fire, ritual, creativity, presence, seasonal living, sisterhood and self-discovery There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in practical witchcraft and ritual - it’s really individualised and intuitive, and we can play with things to see what works for us (and keep a journal of discovery to note what does and what doesn’t) Ritual and witchcraft practices do not have to be long and elaborate - we can weave them into our day, just bringing ourselves to presence and setting intentions.

How to self-heal 'mysterious' illness (and why this is also a 'mysterious' call to your witch) 1:04:32

16 weeks ago1:04:32

1:04:32

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole explores her radical approach to health which views ‘mysterious illness’ as a transformative initiation into self-healing and a sacred call to our witchy healing gifts. Nicole’s point of view is that illnesses that often go unexplained by mainstream medicine - such as chronic fatigue syndrome, ME, burn-out, auto-immune issues and menstrual disorders like endometriosis - are calls to embrace our own magical healing power and wisdom. In this episode, whilst honouring the depths of darkness that mysterious dis-ease can take us to, Nicole shares the importance of seeing illness not as something ‘victimising’ (as our society is conditioned), but an opportunity for personal healing and deeper connection to our bodies, inspiring self-love and feminine empowerment that awakens our inner witch and connects us to our self-healing inner apothecary. She also shares some deeper self-enquiry prompts, and explores her way of mapping our health. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: Mysterious illnesses - including conditions like chronic fatigue, autoimmune issues, and feminine cycle symptoms - are a secret call to our ‘inner witch’ and her self-healing power and magic Our illnesses are actually ‘initiations’ - doorways to parts of ourselves that we’ve not before seen, rather than conditions that are to be passively endured - though this challenges mainstream medical and societal norms around ‘health’ which often has us feel victim to health challenges According to universal magical healing laws and principles, suppression is the true cause of dis-ease - anywhere we suppress, creates an energetic block and energy get stuck The law of ‘like cures like’ means that what ‘causes’ something will also ‘cure’ it. Holding up a mirror to aspects within ourselves offers us self-reflection that stimulates ‘self-healing’ We can heal ourselves - by working with the elements of ‘self-illumination’ and ‘self-love’ (via harnessing ‘archetypal remedies’ as a ‘mirror’ to lost aspects of ourselves that we’ve shamed), which helps us un-suppress aspects of ourselves that have been hidden and have manifested illness As we heal ourselves, our wounds become our gifts - and that helps us to live our destiny as the healer witches we came here to be We can also map our healing in a Soul Map, which is also a tool we can harness to know our gifts.

As an Oracle, Mystic, Master Metaphysician, and Wonder Worker, Sri Namaste’s passion is to realign men and women to their innate harmony, honoring their distinctions while celebrating their synergy. She seamlessly integrates metaphysics, mysticism, and elegant philosophical truths, delivering laser-sharp clarity with practical applications. Her work is a testament to leadership, wisdom, and the boundless potential of those who dare to live their genius and leave an indelible legacy. In this episode we explore Namaste’s profound, radical worldview of what it means to embody the ‘True Feminine’ (and how the Feminine can be both ‘yin’ and ‘yang’, and we don’t have an ‘inner Masculine’’). We dived into the distinction between ‘feminist’ and ‘feminine’, and the cultural conditioning, societal fear and trauma we innocently hold around the Masculine, which often has us ‘competing’ with men for ‘power’, rather than embracing our polarity and that we *both* have different, unique gifts. We reflected on the different gifts - and explore how the witch’s gift is really to heal through love, doing the inner work and embracing the receptive Feminine to work her mysterious magic, rather than rebel against the patriarchy. Namaste also shared a practical womb invitation for beginning to connect with our Feminine ‘essence’ (and shared why that’s different to our Feminine ‘energy’). What You’ll Learn from this Episode: There’s a difference between being a ‘Feminist’ and being ‘Feminine’ - and the witch can (innocently) lean towards being ‘feminist’; competing with, and trying to be, men, rather than embodying the qualities of being feminine that can help us to feel true joy, harmony and synergy - and to be who we came here to be This is a cultural wounding around the Feminine, which Namaste believes is often misunderstood as having an ‘inner masculine’. She believes we don’t host ‘inner masculine’; instead, women have Feminine yin *and* yang - Goddess Kali being a great example of Feminine yang, and it still being distinctly feminine essence There’s a distinction Namaste makes around Feminine ‘energy’ versus ‘essence’, and that our True Feminine is found in our essence, and can be viscerally connected to via our bodies. Embracing our essences, rather than focusing on energy is helpful to reclaim the True Feminine The Masculine and Feminine have different gifts that help us create harmony and synergy - they are both unique and yet complementary to each other. For example, men’s power is about impact, which is more direct, hard and external, whereas women’s power is about influence, relating and subtle heart-based change There is much understandable trauma around this topic - and fear of the ‘patriarchy’ (especially for the witch) - and so we are called to work through this trauma with love and patience (Namaste offers a womb practice for this). We can transform traumas by reclaiming the gifts and understanding they bring, turning our wounds into sources of power and insight. What’s reflected in the outside world often holds a mirror to more collective patterns - and in the world at the moment there’s a lot of fear around powerful Masculine figures, which are calling us into healing and integration of our Feminine essence to create feminine expression and empowerment.

Why sisterhood is vital in our healing (especially for your Secret Witch, who may want to hide) 1:09:13

20 weeks ago1:09:13

1:09:13

On the Secret Witch Show today, Nicole is exploring the profound importance of ‘sisterhood’ in the healing journeys of women - especially those who are ‘Secret Witches’. She dives into how Secret Witches can feel resistance to sisterhood, yet being part of a supportive, magical community of likeminded women can truly transform our lives - helping us overcome fears, self-doubt, mistrust and the ‘witch wound’ that hold us back from having a voice and expressing our authentic selves and living our true destiny as healers. In this episode we explore the self-healing magic that sisterhood offers us - including self-reflection, a space for vulnerability, a place for discovering our gifts and gold via the mirror that others hold for us to our wounds and triggers. She explores how the ancient feminine wisdom of sisterhood offers provision of a safe and intentional space for us to engage in healing ceremony, share experiences and receive reflections that aid self-illumination - *if* we consciously choose to work with sisterhood this way - with sisters being remedies for us. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: For Secret Witches, there’s nothing so healing as sisterhood to help us learn how to fully express our true, authentic selves - it can help us overcome our fear of judgement and being outcast - and other fears we have around stepping into our witchy gifts Being able to be intimate with others is important in the journey of becoming a healer for ourselves - and in living our destiny as healers for others People are remedies and act as mirrors for our own self-illumination (aka loving healing) Safe spaces of vulnerability and reflection are so vital for our healing - especially in a world where we have learned to operate as silos (keeping ourselves disconnected and isolated in our masculinised culture) Sisterhood serves as a space in which we can discover our gifts, and practice honing our skills as healing practitioners There is opportunity for ‘reflection’ within conscious sisterhood spaces that allows us access to our own inner wisdom - which activates real healing (as opposed to advice and ‘quick fix’ solutions which take us away from our wisdom) True healing comes from within, facilitated by the supportive environment of a sisterhood that encourages self-reflection and personal growth Resources and things that we spoke about: Register Interest in our Secret Witch Membership: http://www.nicolebarton.co.uk/membership Social: Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@archetypalapothecary Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamnicolebarton/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/archetypalapothecary/ You Tube - https://www.youtube.com/@secretwitchsociety Join our Secret Witch Society: http://www.facebook.com/groups/secretwitch Website: http://www.nicolebarton.co.uk You Tube Episode link: https://youtu.be/wo7b2pCocP0 Thank you for listening, we’d love to know what comes alive for you in this week’s episode, so please let us know.

How to work more deeply with reiki and energetic alchemy for self-awakening 1:14:49

22 weeks ago1:14:49

1:14:49

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Yolanda Williams. Yolanda is a Reiki teacher and host of the fabulous ‘Reiki Radio’ podcast. She is an Energetic Alchemist, also certified in Wellness Counseling, through Cornell University. Her work facilitates new levels of self-connection and reveals the dynamics of mind, body and energy. Yolanda's classes include Usui Reiki, all levels, in San Diego, as well as mentoring and intuitive awakening courses, online. In this episode we explore all things ‘energetic alchemy’. We dived into Yolanda’s uniquely deep perspective of Reiki, investigating how it can be a powerful portal of ‘inner work’ and self-awakening that offers healing of the mind, body spirit - rather than something ‘external’ as it is often seen. We discussed some of the surface-level misunderstandings of reiki, and explore the nuances of how we can harness energetic alchemy for ourselves - beyond outsourcing our power to others - to actually peel back layers of ourselves, see where we are projecting, connect to our intuition and unlock hidden aspects of ourselves. Including our unique gifts! What You’ll Learn from this Episode: When we first feel a call to energetic alchemy, we can feel alone in our journey - we might know we are sensitive, but can feel ‘weird’ or ‘odd’ in that. Energy healing can help us begin to understand this aspect of ourselves - in whatever form that takes Reiki is a tool that can help us find a way into energy healing - and it can be interacted with differently to how we commonly know it to be harnessed. In other words, we can harness energetic alchemy for ‘ourselves’ - rather than simply outsourcing our healing to others - and in doing so, we can own our power to peel back layers and go on an inner journey of self-awakening and transformation There’s an interconnectedness between mind, body and spirit - we can’t disconnect it, and as we begin to look inwards to what’s been suppressed, healing manifests - energy healing helps us learn we can choose that process consciously Energetic alchemy can help us reclaim the gifts of being a sensitive woman and learn how to distinguish our energy from others, empowering our own self-regulation and intuition Not everyone will experience their intuition in the same way - some are visual, some feel things, some know things - and as we become more aware of our own sensitivities and gifts, we can learn to embrace our intuition more fully There’s an importance in ascending into a spiritual path to see what’s ‘the same’ - *and* also surrendering to being the physical ‘vessel’ that collects the rain - aka descending into the body and embracing our uniqueness. All energetic alchemy tools are bringing us ‘home’ to both of these things.

Sharing My Magical Voice and Risking Being Burned at the Stake - Special Interview with Nicole Celebrating 100 Episodes 1:21:56

24 weeks ago1:21:56

1:21:56

On this unique, celebratory 100th episode of the Secret Witch Show today Jamie Wozny takes the hostess role for a special interview with Creatrix of the show, Nicole Barton. Nicole is a witch on a mission to help Secret Witches - aka secretly magical women who hide their power - to live their true destiny by expressing their unapologetic magic. She does this by helping women to heal themselves, discover their gifts and heal the fear of expressing their authentic selves. Through her Top 10% Secret Witch Show podcast and her Archetypal Apothecary™ healing modality - which have helped multiple TENS of thousands of listeners - Nicole guides women to understand their soul’s unique plan and harness it to become the magical healer witches their souls were destined to be. In this episode we dived into how and why Nicole created the Secret Witch show, how she healed herself through the show by embodying her Feminine power and expressing her magical voice - and how she risked being burned at the stake for her true expression - celebrating all the magic and joy that has been created along the way! We explored that the show has become an ‘apothecary’, serving archetypal medicine in each episode, and explored the themes of voice liberation, vulnerability and the healing journey with the witch as an archetypal remedy in her own right. Nicole wants to offer a special thanks to Jamie Wozny for being an incredible hostess for this episode - I love you, woman. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: The Secret Witch is a sensitive woman who is secretly powerful and magical and longs to live her destiny but who feels burdened and burned out by her mundane life of busyness where she runs around people-pleasing and feels exhausted. By working with the ‘witch’ as a mirror for aspects of ourselves we have shamed, we can open to our inner apothecary for self-healing, discover our healing gifts and learn to express them in the world The Witch as an archetypal remedy - aka a lens for self-discovery - represents healing, creation and feminine power and true soul expression - and that’s what she helps us reclaim - if we can have a courageous, vulnerable, open heart to our possibility There can be a lot of fear that arises in the journey of self-healing and becoming a healer. That’s normal - our fear is often a confirmation of the path we are being called to. *And* embracing and sharing our vulnerability, fears and authentic selves is crucial in reclaiming our voice and power - even (and especially when people think we are ‘weird’). Reclaiming our gifts and voice is an embodied journey of ‘living into’ our medicine. We each have our own unique archetypal remedy to share - and we have to reclaim our gifts through an embodied experience, rather than learning intellectually - and working with archetypal remedies is a great way to do this. The podcast is a great example of how Nicole lived into her medicine as she listened to the intuitive nudges, and healed and expanded herself, leaning into her true soul expression. Healing is an ongoing process; it will never be ‘complete’ - the real gift is learning the art and science of loving, compassionate self-healing so we can provide that for ourselves throughout our lives, learning to tenderly meet challenges and reclaim our gifts from our wounds - and celebrate our small victories, taking the next aligned-action as we go Sharing our voice can be scary, because of the witch wound - and if we are fearing that, it’s just a sign there’s more healing to do of our inner witch (who has often experienced much trauma in her lifetime). This is something that Nicole has lived into - and is still living into - as she’s journeyed with creating the podcast - and here we are, with a treasure trove of 100 episodes later, with a Top 10% show that has helped thousands of women! It’s so worth the journey.

How to express your Feminine magic - unapologetically - in a world where that's terrifying 58:45

26 weeks ago58:45

58:45

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Sophie French. Sophie supports women to unlock and unleash their unique expression and gifts into the world, to tap into their heart's desires and to go for them with deep self-trust and self-belief. She utilities a combination of neuro-linguistic programming, emotional release and embodiment practices along with energy and strategy work to provide a holistic approach to the woman who is ready to be all she's ever wanted. In this vibrant episode Nicole and Sophie dive into all things ‘unapologetic feminine soul expression’, exploring how self-illuminating where we have suppressed ourselves (rather than submitting to pathologising things like ‘depression’) helps us heal and discover our true selves and embrace our creative soul expression - and how that can be a healing remedy for others, in ways we don’t always expect. Performing her poetry for us and exploring how she rebirthed herself through it, Sophie explores how her self-expression and story-telling became a form of alchemy of darkness to light, and how she tended her nervous system to be able to express her true self in a world where that’s scary. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: It is vital to our mental and physical health to live out our full, unapologetic expression - numbing and suppressing our true selves literally has us become burned out, depressed and anxious We can begin to heal through unsuppressing ourselves, via self-discovery - which includes facing our darkness, feeling everything fully and challenging the societal tendency to numb and avoid discomfort Expressing our emotions can be an alchemical process which unlocks deeper creativity and joy - Sophie’s poetry is a great example of this deep expression of her soul, and came through her in this alchemical way - as I always say, our gifts are found in our wounds That said, we can consciously choose the edge we meet, giving ourselves permission to go at our own pace and choose when we go in - this is an intentional healing process of soul-expression It’s important to regulate our nervous systems - much more important than it is made out to be in our society so we can express safely. We must create space for the slowness of this process Healing can be found in anything that has us back in touch with feeling ‘alive’ - not just traditional ‘remedies’ but through music, and dance, or anything that has us feel alive and connected.
