Witches, I’m beside myself with this one. This week I’m joined by my favourite podcaster of all time — Timothy Renner from the legendary Strange Familiars podcast. If you’ve ever felt the forest watching, if you’ve ever wondered what walks between worlds with you… this conversation is for you.

We dive into -
🌲 Bigfoot sightings and their deeply spiritual undertones
🌌 The overlap between aliens, fae, and otherworldly entities
🕯️ Supernatural experiences that change everything
🏞️ The spirit of the land and place-based magic
👁️‍🗨️ Personal stories that blur the line between folklore and lived truth
💀 The haunting and the holy, side by side
🌿 And the mysterious way the forest remembers…

This is the most liminal, layered, and soul-shaking conversation I’ve ever had on the podcast. And the fact it’s with Tim — whose work I’ve long adored — makes it even more special.

🔮 Come walk the strange path with us.

In the Forest of Letting Go

A Cord Cutting Ritual for Release, Renewal & Quiet Power - this connects to the Practical Magic episode released before this.

Step softly into the forest. In this sacred space of moss and memory, we gather for a cord cutting ritual—an act of tender release and sovereign reclamation. Whether you’re letting go of an old lover, a lingering energetic tie, or a version of yourself that no longer serves you, this spell is for you.

✨ In this episode, you’ll find -

• A gentle guided meditation to support emotional release and energetic clearing

• A visualisation ritual featuring a ceremonial knife

• Reflection prompts to honour the lessons and blessings of what you’re releasing

• An invitation to step back into your power—clear, grounded, and whole

This is not about banishment in bitterness, but about blessing the path ahead with clarity and self-trust. It’s about honoring your sensitivity as strength and making space for what wants to grow now that the old has been laid to rest.

Light a candle, breathe deep, and enter the forest.

It’s time to let go—beautifully.

• What did the cord feel like — thick, frayed, silver, heavy?

• What was said in the clearing that surprised you?

• What part of yourself are you reclaiming now that this tie is cut?

• What are you no longer available for?

• What new boundaries rise in you like sap in spring?

In this enchanting episode, we step into the warm, witchy glow of Practical Magic—a film of sisterhood, spellwork, and soul-deep lessons. Brew a cup of tea (or indulge in a slice of chocolate cake for breakfast) as we unravel the magick woven through the lives of the Owens women.

✨ What’s inside the cauldron -
🍫 Chocolate Cake for Breakfast – Joy as rebellion, sweetness as sacred. A reminder that pleasure is powerful.
💌 Sally’s Spell for Impossible Love – A heart-crafted ritual to call in soul-aligned love, infused with desire, protection, and the beauty of believing.
🐍 Curse-Breaking Spell – Release the old. Break ancestral patterns. Reclaim your lineage with intention and power.
🐯 Tiger’s Eye Crystal Magick – For grounding, courage, and shielding a cautious heart. A talisman for those learning to trust again.
✂️ Cord Cutting Meditation – Snip the threads that bind you to heartbreak, doubt, or past versions of yourself. Goodbye, Jimmy. The Meditation follows this episode and is called In the Forest of Letting Go - please see the show notes for follow on journal prompts if you wish to use them
📝 Journaling Ritual – Reflect on the legacies you’ve inherited around love and the new story you’re ready to write.
🃏 The Owens Sister Tarot Spread – A soulful spread to explore your connection to legacy, sisterhood, love, and the unique magick you carry.

This is an episode for the wild-hearted, the romantics, the rebels, and every witch reclaiming her story. Light a candle, press play, and step into the circle.

Chocolate cake recipe

10 oz self raising flour

12 oz cocoa or cacao powder

12 oz castor sugar

12 oz butter

6 large eggs

Mix butter and sugar, gradually add the eggs then flour and coco. I baked at 180 degrees celcius for around 25 minutes

We made a chocolate ganache for this, for this we used two and a half 180g bars of dairy milk chocolate and 200ml double cream, so break the chocolate up and place in a mixing bowl, then heat the cream up in a pan. Don't let it boil just let it get to a hot temperature, then pour it over the chocolate and mix it together and decorate
