We're swept away on an adventure that reveals Zee's personal evolution through a decade of spiritual exploration, touching on themes of dream work, inclusivity, and the potent storytelling that fuels change. With a voice as calming as the ocean's embrace, Zee recounts his discovery of witchcraft and the continuous growth from nurturing wisdom and understanding, reminding us all of our own capacity for transformation.
As the current carries us deeper, we confront the intricacies of animism and paganism, recognizing the ocean's ancient spirit as a universal force. It's a conversation that rides the crest of belief, facing down the riptides of self-doubt and miasma, while also celebrating the return to mentorship within the spiritual community. Zee's insights into the perennial challenges of faith and the phenomenon of imposter syndrome cast a reflective light on the spiritual journey, providing a beacon for those navigating their own path.
In the final wash of insight, our discussion turns to the crucial topic of diversity and inclusivity in the practice of witchcraft. With a commitment to authenticity, we address head-on the barriers of elitism and racism, and the importance of representation in creating a welcoming space for all practitioners. From the joyful energy of the Afro Mermaid festival to the life-altering sea journey that deepened Zee's connection to oceanic magic, this episode is an invitation to embrace the ebb and flow of personal growth and the significance of community connection in the vast ocean of spirituality.Support the show

What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?
As the veil between worlds thins, I sit down with Robin Doxey, intuitive psychic and adept of the Akashic Records, for an intimate journey into the realms of spirituality and witchcraft. Our conversation is a tapestry of personal anecdotes and profound insights, where Robin unveils her path to freedom through the craft and the pivotal role of witchcraft in defying societal norms. We meander through her childhood dalliances with Catholic mysticism, her family's magical legacies, and the empowering art of ancestral healing, all while reflecting on how the verdant whispers of nature and plant magic have shaped our spiritual sojourns.
Venturing further into the heart of our spiritual practices, we contemplate the transformation that blooms from recognizing and nurturing the unique gifts that lie within each of us. Robin and I share stories of the exuberance found in guiding souls to their power and the enchanting encounters with animal guides that often accompany such awakenings. Yet, even within these realms of wonder, shadows lurk, and we address the specter of imposter syndrome that haunts many practitioners. By reframing this insidious doubt as a beacon guiding us to inner trust, we cast light on the path to true acceptance of our magical identities.
The alchemy of our discussion culminates in a contemplation of the sacred ethics that underpin our community. With Robin's wisdom and my own experiences as a backdrop, we navigate the nuances of consent, the necessity of energetic hygiene, and the journey of sensitive souls in a bustling world. Our exchange is a testament to the healing and unity achievable through mentorship while underscoring the importance of grounding in practices that maintain our spiritual sanctity. From the magnetic pull of ley lines to the tender stories of personal transformations, this week's episode is an invitation to embrace the mystical currents that course through our lives.
