Hi friends! It's been a hot minute! ...Why? Well, because I got sick as a dog the day November Mercury Retrograde began, and recovered the day it ended. I'll take you through my lil three week whirlwind into the hellscape of contemplation and reflection, what I learned, why I think it happened, and what you can do and learn if the same thing happened to you (or does in the future). I also go against a lot of Mercury Retrograde advice and reach out to not one, not two, but three people from my past - and all of it goes surprisingly well. Also, Year Ahead Tarot for 2026 is available now! Book your reading at sabrinamscott.com/readings - let's see what the new year has in store for you!

In this episode, I take some inspiration from my brand new book of mundane magic rituals, A Witch at Home! In preparation for cozy season, I discuss an important ritual that's become a part of my lifestyle - regular audits of the pantry, freezer, and fridge! I discuss how this relates to magic and energetics, and how using what we have (whether it's that can of beans at the back of the pantry, or the soup at the back of the freezer, or the half-done lipstick in our makeup bag) can connect us deeply to the energy of gratitude and abundance. Yes, it's everyday stuff - but trust me, when we notice magic in the every day, our life can drastically change for the better.

Happy Samhain and Happy Halloween! I start off this episode by talking about how to work with the energy of this moment, and some ritual ideas for this coming weekend. I then - after sharing a few special deals that end today and Monday - discuss a very weird talk I went to last night, by renowned woo woo person Gabby Bernstein! I have been positive-neutral on her, but the talk really left a bad taste in my mouth; I explain how and why that was the case, as well as what that means for people who are very traumatized and seeking healing and help. Should you get therapy or just focus on manifestation? In my opinion, for people in active crisis, they need therapy, not manifestation. I discuss scope creep as well as critique some cult psychology and trauma dumping I experienced in the talk I went to. I end the podcast episode by talking about the importance of perspective, and approaching even unpleasant situations with curiosity.

In this episode, I discuss how the feminist magazine Jezebel paid Etsy witches to curse Charlie Kirk, and use this to get into a larger issue in the witchcraft and pagan community at large right now - the idea that it is ethical to curse someone for a difference of opinion. The quest for "political purity" within left wing woke witchcraft communities is something we should all be denouncing. Witches are too concerned with aggressively wielding power against those they don't like, and need to take some time and space to ground ourselves in ethics and true morals, and remember what witchcraft is really about - healing ourselves and living a good life. Witchcraft is not about cursing people we disagree with, period.

In this episode, I continue discussing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and I talk about the witchcraft community's response to it. Many famous witches have been celebrating Charlie's murder, and mere days before the assassination, the feminist magazine Jezebel paid some Etsy witches to curse/hex Charlie Kirk. As witches, we should not be condoning this behaviour, and it is important we extricate this rot and toxicity from witchcraft spaces; this work is unethical.

In this episode, I begin by remembering the souls who passed on 9/11, and move on to talk about the horrific rise of assassination culture and murder as spectacle, with the recent murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Regardless of what your politics are, we should all be horrified and upset that someone was gunned down - intentionally - for exercising their right to free speech, basically for having even-handed, logical, calm debates with opposing parties out in public. Diversity of thought is foundational to a functioning and healthy democracy; we are all at risk when it becomes commonplace for public intellectuals to get assassinated for their speech. I also talk about grievance culture on the far left, as well as the emotional and intellectual fragility that would cause people to wish to (and justify) lashing out violently against those they disagree with. A heavy but important episode for people of all political persuasions.
