Hot takes on shame, shadow & the magic of desires

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about your desire, or felt like you wanted something and yet found some way to sabotage it, you’re going to want to watch this episode of the Magical Experiments podcast.

Sheena and I share 15 hot takes on shame, shadow and the magic of desire and along the way explore:

  • How shame and fear can small you and contain your magic.

  • What love and loathing have to do with identifying your desires.

  • How to use the deadly sins as information instead of as shaming.

And if what we shares lands with you, then you’ll want to join us for our upcoming live workshop on September 19th:

Wanting without Shame - Alchemize your desire into Reality

In Wanting without Shame, we work with desire as magical material.

Desire is not just a personal preference.

Desire is orientation.

It is the current beneath intention, ritual, spellcraft, spirit work, creative work, business, visibility, money, pleasure, devotion, and becoming.

In Wanting Without Shame, we invite you to come play so you can:

  • Clarify the desire underneath your magical intentions, instead of casting from obligation, confusion, or “should.”

  • Identify the old selves that distort what you think you want: the self other people imagine you to be, the past self still running old spells, the idealized self chasing comparison, and the present self who can actually cast.

  • Work with shame, shadow, envy, greed, pride, lust, wrath, sloth, and hunger as information instead of contamination.

  • Use Love and Loathe tracking as magical data for your practice, business, relationships, rituals, offerings, and creative life.

  • Create Desire Statements that function as magical source code for spellwork, spirit petitions, sigils, business direction, offerings, and life choices.


Turn your desires into reality clearly and cleanly.
