Welcome, Medicine Witches! I’ve been in an absolutely FIERY portal of transformation recently in which I’m being called to show up in my FULL expression so I’ve been sharing all aspects of the Witch playing out in life - including the archetype of the Dominatrix and the Submissive - so be prepared for the energetic that’s coming to this show as we move forward! That said this is quite a gentle dose of archetypal medicine today, but just potent. I’m really seeing how everything I dose is energetic medicine - whether it be a podcast episode, or a social post - and I’m playing with the potency I dose (in homeopathic language, which is the lineage of our Archetypal Apothecary model) we dose in different levels - Centesimal and Millesimal - and centesimal is dosing lower, where milesimal is higher - so I’m consciously playing with my dosing at the moment via all mediums (and let me tell you, if you choose into one of my crucibles, I’ll be dosing 10M - which is about as punchy as you can get!) Follow on Instagram On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Dr Rebecca Beattie. Rebecca is a Wiccan Priestess with a PhD in Creative Writing. She grew up on Dartmoor, which gave her an early appreciation of the power and joys of nature and she has been practicing witchcraft for twenty years. She is acclaimed for her highly informed teaching of witchcraft subjects at Treadwell’s Books in Bloomsbury. In this episode we explored how to harness magical sabbats to discover your purpose, diving into how they can be harnessed as archetypal energies to work with as a lens for self-discovery of our purpose. We talked about learning to work cyclically and discern between intentionally and consciously choosing soul-aligned living - and how being ourselves is the only way to truly living from our soul’s gifts. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: The more “me” we become, the better life gets - when we are unapologetically ourselves, then we live from purpose We need to heal ourselves before we can heal the world - and that starts with going into the darkness and facing things that most people just wouldn’t want to face - but the Archetypal Witch is actually really good at that The Wheel of the Year is a modern iteration of something very ancient that is grounded in nature - but we don’t work with it in an orthodox way; it’s essentially an archetypal embodiment model that’s a nurturing guide, rather than a prescription for what we do We can use each sabbat festival as a means of self-discovery - for example, Beltane is about fire and joy - how do we relate to these in our lives? We created ‘story’ (and each festival has its own story) so that we can understand ourselves more deeply - and this is how we self-heal and discover our purpose - we aren’t here to to be fixed   Resources and things that we spoke about: Instagram: @iamnicolebarton Instagram: @archetypalapothecary  TikTok: @teamsecretwitch  Facebook: Nicole Barton  Private Facebook Group: Secret Witch Society  Website: www.secretwitch.co.uk - check out our other episodes Rebecca Beattie Website: www.rebeccabeattie.co.uk  Rebecca Beattie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebeccambeattie/  Rebecca Beattie Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rebeccabeattie13   Thank you for listening, we’d love to know what comes alive for you in this week’s episode, so please let us know.
