    Episode 8 - How do I embrace Magick with a Neurospicy Brain?
    Aug 7 2024
    SHOW NOTES PLEASE LIKE, FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE! Today's Listener Letter is sent in by "Can’t Sit Still in Cadillac". Dear Bellamy Black, I am disabled and on the spectrum. I want to practice magic but I am struggling to focus my attention. I know meditation is really important, but I find I really struggle with turning my brain off and just being silent. When I research different magic methodologies I can only really find information for neurotypical brain types. While I am able to utilize some of these techniques I find most of them to be challenging at best. I was wondering if you had any insight on some good resources for a neurodivergent witch, such as myself. Its hard not seeing any resources readily available for someone like me. Am I not supposed to be a magical person? In this heartfelt episode of "Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black," we address a deeply moving listener letter from a neurodivergent witch struggling to find resources and techniques that resonate with their unique way of experiencing the world. They expressed their struggles with focusing their attention, particularly with traditional meditation techniques that emphasize stillness and silence. They shared their frustration at the lack of resources tailored for neurodivergent individuals and questioned if they were meant to practice magic at all. We explore the shamanic view of "mental illness" and how, in various cultures, behaviors seen as “disturbed” by Western standards are considered gifts. These behaviors are often viewed as blessings from the gods, enabling individuals to perceive the world through a unique and sacred lens. We discuss practical tools and methods for embracing magic with a brain that is always active. We discuss ways to harness and channel this constant mental activity into magical practices rather than fighting against it. And we highlight resources and communities that support neurodivergent witches. These include books, and practitioners who offer inclusive and adaptive approaches to magic. We offer reassurance that being neurodivergent does not preclude one from being a magical person. We emphasize that magic is for everyone, regardless of how their brain works, and celebrate the diverse ways in which people can connect with their magical practices. Join us for this empowering episode as we validate the experiences of neurodivergent witches and offer practical advice for integrating magic into their lives.

    Episode 7 - How can Sex Magick Transform your life?
    Jul 24 2024
    SHOW NOTES PLEASE LIKE, FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE! Disclaimer: This episode of "Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black" is rated explicit and will explore the topic of sex magick with respect and professionalism. We recognize that discussions about sex can be triggering for some individuals. While this episode focuses on embracing natural sexual urges and does not delve into sexual trauma, we understand the importance of providing support for those affected by such experiences. If you or someone you know is experiencing sexual abuse, or dealing with mental health issues caused by sexual abuse and assault, please reach out to the following resources: For Sexual Abuse Support: National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN): 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or visit rainn.org NSVRC (National Sexual Violence Resource Center): nsvrc.org For Mental Health Support: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 or visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 or visit crisistextline.org SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357) or visit samhsa.gov Remember, you are not alone, and help is available. Please take care of yourself and seek the support you need. Today's Listener Letter is sent in by "The Sexy Siren". Dear Bellamy, Oh, boy, I can’t believe I am sending this letter, but here goes. I want to learn about Sex Magic! In general society tells us to keep whatever our sexual practices might be to ourselves. They tell us it's taboo to talk about arousal, masturbation, and pretty much anything other than heteronormative missionary style sex practice for procreation only. They tell us our naked bodies are sinful. Pardon my language but fuck these social constructs. I have always been something of an introvert. For a lot of my life people might have described me as mousy, a wallflower type. It wasn’t until I was introduced to my current partner that I learned how much power was lying dormant in my body. They helped me explore the Tantric side of sex; they helped me access orgasms. I wholeheartedly believe that there was a side of me that was liberated from chastity when I learned that my body could feel this powerful, and sex helped me feel that way. I gained confidence and love for my body for the first time in 40 years. I want to normalize talking about the passion and energy that explodes out of a person’s body when they reach Climax. I know that energy, in general, plays a huge role in manifestation and spell work. Can you discuss how to utilize sexual energy for magic? In this explicit episode of "Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black," we delve into the often misunderstood and taboo topic of sex magick with our special guest, Katie Mae Scripps. Katie is a priestess of the intimate arts and a somatic life coach, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to our discussion. None of us would be here without sex, yet our society struggles to embrace and talk openly about it. While everything around us is oversexualized, especially in sales and consumerism, genuine conversations about sex remain stigmatized. This episode challenges those social constructs and explores the power and potential of sexual energy. Our conversation is inspired by a powerful listener letter, which discusses the societal taboos around sexual practices, arousal, and body positivity. The listener shares a personal journey of discovering the transformative power of sexual energy through exploring tantric practices with a partner, leading to newfound confidence and self-love. They express a desire to normalize conversations about the passion and energy released during climax and ask for guidance on utilizing sexual energy for manifestation and spell work. We cover these topics in depth, discussing how embracing our natural sexual urges can lead to personal empowerment and greater self-love. Katie shares her insights on how sexual energy can be harnessed for magick, bringing forth our deepest desires and enhancing our spell work. Join us for a respectful and enlightening exploration of sex magick, and discover how you can tap into this powerful energy to transform your life. #religion #spirituality #sexmagick #tantra #sexualawakening #utilizingenergy #burstsofenergy #priestessoftheintimatearts #katiemaezing #nostupidquestions #selflove #consent #pleasure #knowledgeispower #blessedbe #askawitch #bellamyblack #podcast #traversecity #cydeproductions To Find Katie Mae Scripps Facebook and Instagram @katiemaezing Website to Book Appointments with Katie Mae www.katiemaezing.com TEA Two To Tango Ingredients: Damiana, Gingko, Rose, Aschwagandha, Shatavari, Hawthorn, Lemongrass, Horny Goat Weed Order today at www.blessedbetea.com SIGN OUR PETITION TO CHANGE THE OED DEFINITION OF “WITCH” https://chng.it/jDsL52PBBK SPONSORS KATIE MAE SCRIPPS Facebook and Instagram @katiemaezing Website to Book Appointments with Katie Mae ...

  • Episode 6 - Am I Religious or just Spiritual?

    Episode 6 - Am I Religious or just Spiritual?
    Jul 10 2024
    PLEASE LIKE, FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE! Today's Listener Letter is sent in by "Settling into my Spirit Side". Dear Bellamy Black, The thought of religion and spirituality has me conflicted. Growing up, my family was very religious, almost to the point where some may say it was “cult-ish”. There were expectations of behavior and punishment or ridicule if I did not comply. At first, these methods of fear mongering completely turned me off religion of any kind. I identified as Atheist, for years, but in my older age I feel called to spirituality again. But I am not sure where to really start. I was researching Wicca, and found the Earth Based spiritual and energy-based practice to be intriguing, but ultimately I am struggling with the underlying structure of it all. I kind of just want to be a free range heathen. Is this ok? Does one have to associate with a particular religion in order to find their spiritual side? I want to learn, and in some ways I need guidance (or at least I think I do). Where do I begin? Join Bellamy Black as she interviews Dr. Sarah Montgomery-Richards, Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Northwestern Michigan University in Traverse City, MI, and Adrian College in Adrian, MI. Together, they delve into the nuanced topic of Religion vs. Spirituality, illuminating the idea that there are "many paths up the mountain." In this enlightening conversation, Bellamy and Dr. Sarah explore the personal relationships people have with their Ultimate Sacred Reality, discussing how these connections shape their lives and worldviews. They examine the differences between religion and spirituality, highlighting how structure and organized religion play distinct roles in these ideals. Religion is often characterized by established doctrines, rituals, and institutions, providing a structured framework for communal worship and shared beliefs. Spirituality, on the other hand, is more individualistic, focusing on personal experiences and inner growth. Bellamy and Dr. Sarah discuss how organized religion offers a sense of community, tradition, and continuity, while spirituality emphasizes personal exploration, authenticity, and a direct connection to the divine. They also explore various ways to research and learn about alternative religious movements, offering practical tools to help listeners access religion and spirituality in an informed and respectful manner. This episode will inspire you to reflect on your own spiritual journey and consider new perspectives on the sacred. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that bridges the gap between religion and spirituality, helping you navigate your own path up the mountain. #religion #spirituality #ultimatesacredreality #manypathsupthemountain #newreligiousmovements #wheredoibegin #davidbowieisgod #gobroncos #nostupidquestions #knowledgeispower #blessedbe #askawitch #bellamyblack #podcast #traversecity #cydeproductions HARVARD PLURALISM PROJECT https://pluralism.org/ GREAT LAKES TREATS - local mushroom foragers https://greatlakestreats.com/ To Find Dr. Sarah Montgomery-Richards NMC Human Resources Directory https://www.nmc.edu/departments/human-resources/staff-list.html TEA ENCHANTING CHAI- CONTAINS SO "MUSH" MAGICK Black china tea, cinnamon, assam tea, cardamom, clove, ginger, black pepper, chicory, chaga, reishi, red rooibos, licorice root.
