What started as canceled plans to see a favorite comedian transformed into a weekend of laughter, intuition, and surprise wins at the casino—all because she followed what felt good.

She explores how these emotional states activate key energy centers in the body,...

In this off-the-cuff and heart-led episode, Morgan invites you into a real-time reflection on burnout, pressure, and the magick of a pattern interrupt. With no notes and no planned topic, she hits record to share a transformative moment sparked by somatic movement, meditation, and a spontaneous trip to the antique store. What unfolded was a powerful realization: pushing harder isn’t always the answer. Morgan explores the pressure she’s been putting on herself as a business owner, mother, and witch—and how doing something fun and unexpected completely unblocked her creativity and brought...

In this episode, Morgan climbs on her soapbox with fiery passion to talk about a topic she’s felt strongly about for nearly 20 years: why you should stop paying people to cast spells for you. Sparked by a recent impersonation scam using her name and photos to sell $210 spells, Morgan gets real about the dangers, the manipulation, and the loss of personal power that can come from outsourcing your magick. She shares an unforgettable story from her early days owning a metaphysical shop, where she helped a woman reclaim her hoodoo roots and cast a successful spell for herself—after months of...

In this empowering episode, Morgan dives deep into the often-overlooked Queen archetype—the missing link between Mother and Crone in the traditional triple goddess model. She shares her personal connection to this phase, how it has shown up in her spiritual journey, and why it deserves to be embraced as its own sacred stage of life. Morgan explains how the Queen archetype blends sovereignty, confidence, compassion, and boundaries into one powerful identity. She also walks listeners through how Queen energy differs from Maiden curiosity, Mother nurturing, and Crone wisdom, and why so...

In this episode, Morgan shares a deeply personal update on her psychic development journey—nearly one year to the day since she first opened up about it in episode 120. What started as a desire to reconnect with her gifts turned into what she now calls an “accidental psychic experiment.” Through small, intentional shifts in her mindset and daily practices, Morgan found herself reconnecting to her intuitive abilities in powerful, unexpected ways. She walks listeners through the incremental changes she made—like journaling, daily tarot pulls, and saying “fuck it, let’s do...

In this episode, Morgan dives into a fascinating topic—physical symptoms that may have spiritual origins. She shares ten common symptoms that can signal energetic misalignments, upgrades, or deeper soul-level issues, drawing from her own personal experiences, research, and two decades of holistic living. From ringing in the ears to vertigo, waking at 3 AM to random body pains, Morgan explores how physical manifestations can sometimes be tied to spiritual growth, psychic development, or unresolved energetic blockages. With her trademark mix of real talk and magickal insight, she...

In this episode, Morgan dives into a topic that’s both fun and essential for any practicing witch: psychic vampires. These energy feeders—both conscious and unconscious—can show up as friends, coworkers, trolls on the internet, or even strangers in line at the grocery store. Morgan explains the five main types of psychic vampires (like the Needy Nancy and the Silent Assassin), how to spot them, and how to protect your energy when you come into contact with them. She also shares powerful magickal tools for psychic self-defense, from shielding techniques to protective crystals, herbs,...
info_outlineIn this episode, Morgan unpacks the differences between grimoires, books of shadows, and other magickal texts, helping witches determine which type of record-keeping best suits their practice. She explains why documenting your magickal journey is essential and how keeping track of spells, correspondences, and personal experiences can strengthen your craft.
Morgan dives into the purpose of different magickal texts, from the structured reference book that is a grimoire to the deeply personal and evolving book of shadows. She also introduces the concept of tomes, books of mirrors, and specialized journals for dreamwork, divination, and spellcrafting. Throughout the episode, she emphasizes that no two witches will use their magickal texts in the same way and encourages listeners to personalize their record-keeping methods, whether through handwritten journals, digital files, or hybrid approaches.
She also shares a major announcement about the Inked Spirit Coven’s upcoming year-long theme, The Witch’s Grimoire, designed to help witches build and expand their own books of shadows and grimoires.
