Turns Out She's a Witch

This is it, the end of a beautiful era...
9 Seasons, 110 guest interviews and 191 episodes - we birthed this podcast on Winter Solstice 2021, 5 years later it feels like the right time to lay it down for a rest.
Over this time we've covered subjects related to magic, witchcraft, the wheel of the year, animism, folk traditions, sound healing, plants & herbs, psychic development, mediumship, sacred tattooing, animal spirit messengers, the divine feminine, women’s circles, spell crafting, gods & goddesses, folklore & superstitions, ghost hunting, manifesting, Akashic records, past lives - 'Divine Tools' and all the things in between!!
Join us for one last episode together as we sit down to discuss the very beginning of the podcast, the creation of our gorgeous intro music, and many other reflections around our time behind the microphone.
Listen in for a little 'Q & A' discussing:
Our most memorable moment on the podcast 
Our favourite divine tool that we actually use
What rituals have actually endured our lives
Our favourite herb and how we use it
‘What does empowerment look like to you now that you know what you know?’ 
‘What did the podcast give you?’
The big question : what does the word Witch mean to you?
 
A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful listeners, amazing guests, contributors and Patreon Coven supporters. This podcast has been a sacred chapter in our lives, we are so grateful for every moment you joined in, shared your love, and helped make this magic possible. As we say goodbye for now (as you never know, we may pop back on for a random ep here or there?!) know we are forever grateful for this community.
The pagan flame burns bright!!

Shannon and Laura chat with Stacey Demarco, returning for her 8th time Turns Out She's a Witch!
Stacey is one of Australia’s most well known modern witches, ritualists and teachers of practical magic. The author of numerous bestselling books on contemporary witchcraft and seasonal living, Stacey is widely recognised for making ancient magical traditions accessible, grounded and relevant to everyday life.
Her new book, 'Love Magic: Attract, Connect, Protect’ explores the many forms of love through a magical lens - romantic love, self love, friendship and connection to life itself. With her signature blend of ritual, folklore, psychology and practical spell crafting, Stacey guides readers through the three key currents of love magic: attracting aligned connection, deepening authentic bonds, and protecting emotional and energetic wellbeing in relationships.
We’re delighted to welcome Stacey as our final interview guest (yes there is a special announcement at the start of this episode!) to talk about all things love, magic, boundaries, and what it truly means to create conscious, empowered connection in modern life.

Join us for a mind-opening conversation with Nikki Loy, a West Sussex-based creative consultant, illustrator, musician, and author who crafts a life from art, intuition, and manifestation. From a converted library bus studio, Nikki shows how art journaling can be a magical, practical toolkit for transforming dreams into reality. Her book, The Book of Magical Manifestations, invites readers to see creativity as more than self-expression—it's a world-creating practice that shapes our lives.
We explore imagination as a sacred faculty, the idea of creative flow as a vortex of manifestation, and the idea of a ‘Glitch Log’— creating a record of those uncanny synchronicities that hint at a larger magic at work. Nikki offers grounded guidance for anyone drawn to this path, including tips for those who don’t feel “artistic enough,” and shares twenty years of experiments that keep mystery alive.

Shannon and Laura welcome back Carly Mountain psychotherapist, somatic sex therapist, yoga teacher, breathworker, and Womancraft author.
Her new book, Untamed Pleasure, reframes pleasure as an innate energy to be reclaimed, rather than earned, blending therapeutic insight with embodied practice and real life stories.
Carly, Shannon and Laura talk about how pleasure can deepen intimacy, self expression, confidence and connection, and what it means to live your life a little more untamed through pleasure, Eros and embodiment.
We dive into big questions like: what ‘cages’ still bind modern women around desire, and how can we return to our truest, pre conditioned selves? Why does healing often require meeting discomfort, and how does voice connect to deeper pleasure?
Carly also shares her six body framework (thank you Carly!) and offers a practical takeaways to help you move through the world with more aliveness - and untamed pleasure.
