Dia Duit agus Fáilte Hello & Welcome mo charas
In this episode, I explore old Irish mourning traditions, drawing from my visits to the Ulster Folk Museum and the Doagh Famine Village. I speak about the wake customs, the keeners, and the cultural roots behind these rituals, honouring how our ancestors held grief as a communal, sacred experience.
Throughout the episode, I share a heart-chakra candle blessing, gentle drumming, and my own short keening-style lament at the end — offered not as performance, but as remembrance. This episode creates a soft space where grief is honoured, witnessed, and held, rather than something to fix or rush through.
A grounded journey into Irish heritage, healing, and the sacredness of mourning.

Lughnasadh – The First Harvest & Honouring the Sacred Shift
In this episode, we step into the energy of Lughnasadh, the first of the harvest festivals on the Wheel of the Year. I reflect on the sacred lessons this sabbat offers—letting go, surrendering control, honouring the unseen work, and embracing the in-between.
Lughnasadh invites us to slow down and recognise what has been quietly growing within us, even if the outer harvest hasn’t fully arrived. Together, we honour the shifts in season and spirit, the endings disguised as pauses, and the deep medicine of not forcing the bloom.
This is a gentle offering for those who feel caught between grief and growth, between the seed and the fruit. May it hold space for your process and remind you: rest is part of the harvest too.

Sovereignty vs Servitude Reclaiming the Right to Choose
In this deep and soul-stirring episode, we unravel the spiritual bindings of servitude and explore what it means to reclaim true sovereignty. Through the lens of past lives, ancestral vows, and collective conditioning , I share how the old imprint of “duty” and “sacrifice” can still echo in our modern lives, and how to break free from it.
We will explore the following
* The soul contracts and hidden vows that bind us to service without consent
*How religious trauma and lifetimes of suppression shape our spiritual path
*Why reclaiming our magic, voice, and power is not rebellion — it’s remembrance
*The sacred difference between giving from depletion and giving from overflow
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they must give, serve, or stay silent and is now ready to stand in their light by choice, not obligation.

Witch/Sister Wound | Reclaiming Trust, Power & Sacred Sisterhood
In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I explore the ancient and still-present Witch Wound and the Sister Wound — the betrayals, silencing, and fear that echo across lifetimes. I share my own soul memories, recent reflections, and the raw truths of how this shows up today in spiritual spaces. Together, we begin to name the wound, break the pattern, and gently open the path toward healing and sovereignty. This is a reclamation — not just of voice, but of sacred trust.

Welcome to episode 1 of The Cloak &The Cauldron, The Magdalene Files. In this season I'll be uncovering the silenced truths of Ireland's Magdalene laundries. This sacred work-painful , powerful and long overdue. I come to this series not just as a Witch, Woman giving a voice to those who were not heard, but as someone who also holds a past life memory tied to this history.
This episode begins with a question, what were The Magdalene laundries?
May this podcast/video be a light for the souls kept in the dark, may we remember them not as victims - But as Voices, rising as last.
Join me for episode 2 "Inside the Walls"- life in the laundries.

Reclaiming the Mic
In this heartfelt opening episode, I share the soul call behind the shift in this podcast. This is a reclamation — of voice, of choice, of sacred gifts once bound by obligation. Rooted in deep past life healing, ancestral remembrance, and quantum soul retrieval, I speak from a place of overflow, not duty. This is the beginning of a new chapter — in service to the land, the goddess, the Fae, and all the silenced souls.
This podcast will now hold space for deeper transmissions, sound therapy, and seasonal sacred portals for Reiki, readings, and hypnotherapy. My Cosmic Alchemy shop remains open — reach out via email to purchase.
No more Instagram. Just presence. Just truth. Just magic.

Dia Duit agus Fáilte, Hello and welcome back beautiful Witches Wizards and Magical Souls. This week we have a new moon in Gemini on the 27th May 2025
Gemini is represented by the twins, duality and polarity. This energy can cause mixed energy, going between inspiration with new possibilities, then some fogginess on which direction to take. Using grounding tools will help with this.
Gemini energy is social chatty and inquisitive and spontaneous. This energy is guiding us to socialise, take adventures. Communication adaptability is all heightened at this time. It's a powerful time for deep conversations and problem solving.
