Cozy Coven Chats With Jenny C. Bell podcast

The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

S.M. Harlow: Brewing Magic: The Art of Tea Witchcraft 47:56

Send us a text Step into the aromatic world of tea witchcraft as SM Harlow, author of "A Tea Witch's Grimoire" and "A Tea Witch's Crystal Brews," shares her unique magical journey blending ancestral wisdom with modern practice. Harlow's path weaves together multiple cultural traditions—her Mexican grandmother's curandera (faith healing) practices, her Japanese heritage explored through Reiki, and Chinese tea ceremony mastery. This rich tapestry forms the foundation of her approach to tea magic, where brewing becomes a sacred act of intention setting and manifestation. Listeners will discover how Harlow's early work at a metaphysical shop and holistic tea house shaped her understanding of herbs and healing long before she coined the term "tea witch." What makes this episode particularly valuable is Harlow's emphasis on accessibility. You don't need expensive tools or rare ingredients to practice tea witchcraft. Even a simple teabag can become magical—use the string for knot spells, draw sigils on the tag, or transform it into a pendulum. Her practical advice cuts through the complexity often associated with magical practice: "Trust your intuition. If peppermint is screaming out at you, grab it, don't question it." This intuitive approach makes magic approachable for practitioners at any level. The conversation expands into Harlow's newest magical exploration—crystal grids combined with tea brewing—creating a powerful system for channeling energy toward specific intentions. Whether you're seeking balance, manifestation, protection, or healing, these techniques offer practical applications for everyday magic. Ready to transform your daily cup into something magical?

Granddaughter Crow: Reclaiming Your Spiritual Gifts Through Shadow Work 46:24

Send us a text Imagine being raised in a family of Christian healers, only to discover that your true spiritual path lies in embracing the very practices they warned against. This is the remarkable journey of Granddaughter Crow, a Navajo shaman, witch, author, and spiritual guide who joined me for one of our most illuminating conversations yet. Born into the Navajo Nation but raised with strict Christian dogma, Granddaughter Crow was groomed from birth to become a spiritual leader—just not the kind she ultimately became. After being cast out at 17 for questioning religious teachings, she spent years denying her innate spiritual gifts until a life-altering injury forced her to confront her true calling. Her story powerfully illustrates how our greatest challenges often become doorways to our authentic path. What makes this conversation particularly relevant for witches and spiritual seekers is Granddaughter Crow's approach to shadow work through animal guides. Her book "Shamanism and Your Shadow" focuses on four animals traditionally considered taboo—the raven, snake, owl, and wolf—and transforms them into powerful allies for inner healing. As she explains, these creatures, like our shadow aspects, have been misunderstood and feared, yet contain profound wisdom and power when approached with respect and openness. The most transformative insight? Shadow work exponentially increases your magical ability. By integrating those hidden aspects of yourself—those gifts and traits you've buried due to shame or fear—you become whole, and wholeness is the source of true magical power. For anyone who has struggled with feeling disconnected from their spiritual gifts or who fears exploring their shadow, Granddaughter Crow offers gentle but powerful guidance, beginning with simply acknowledging that the natural world sees you as much as you see it. Whether you're new to shadow work or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation offers practical wisdom, emotional resonance, and a profound reminder that our power lies in embracing all aspects of ourselves—especially those deemed taboo.

Caroline Hull: From Catholic Roots to Witchy Voice Keeper 47:21

Send us a text Caroline Hull's journey from "cradle Catholic" to witch illuminates a path many women are walking today—reclaiming spiritual connection outside traditional religious structures. When the podcast strategist and coach discovered "Mary Magdalene Revealed," something profound awakened within her. The realization that this biblical woman's story had been deliberately altered and diminished by patriarchal forces mirrored Caroline's own experiences of feeling silenced and disconnected. As a homeschooling mother of three daughters, Caroline faced a critical choice: continue within religious traditions that didn't fully honor women's voices or embrace a more authentic spiritual path. She chose courage, gradually exploring witchcraft, goddess spirituality, and earth-based practices while maintaining transparent conversations with her children about this evolution. Rather than rejection, she found remarkable support, particularly from her scientifically-minded teenage daughter who encourages her mother's authenticity even when Caroline still sometimes hides her witchy books when guests visit. The parallels between Caroline's spiritual transformation and professional evolution are striking. As a "Voice Keeper" for women in business, she helps clients overcome the very blocks she faced—finding confidence in their voice, trusting their message, and creating content aligned with their authentic selves. This powerful mission emerged organically through her own healing journey, as she recognized how women's voices have been systematically suppressed throughout history, just like Mary Magdalene's. For anyone questioning their spiritual inheritance or feeling called to explore beyond religious boundaries, Caroline's story offers gentle permission and practical wisdom. Her integration of Mary Magdalene on her altar alongside other spiritual tools demonstrates that evolution doesn't require wholesale rejection of our past—sometimes the most powerful reclamation comes from rescuing the sacred feminine elements that were always hidden within traditional religions. Ready to explore your own authentic spiritual voice? Caroline's journey reminds us that sometimes our greatest power emerges when we finally stop dimming our light.

Send us a text Fortune telling is a skill anyone can develop with practice, patience, and trust in their intuitive abilities. The journey isn't about having special gifts but about opening yourself to different ways of receiving information through your clear senses. • Everyone can read cards and develop their intuitive abilities • Clear senses manifest differently: seeing (clairvoyance), hearing (clairaudience), feeling (intuition), or even smelling • Studying tarot academically can sometimes block intuitive reading • Oracle cards can be an easier starting point than tarot for beginners • Card reading is storytelling – weaving together images into a narrative • Divination helps change outcomes rather than predicting fixed futures • Meditation helps open channels to receive intuitive information • Don't give your magic away for free – energy exchange is important • Reading for strangers helps build confidence and skill without pressure Join our coven this April for a live class on spiritual protection, covering everything from tarot cards and crystals to herbs, baths, charms, and making Florida water.

Send us a text Jenny C. Bell shares her personal journey and evolution of celebrating the Witch's Wheel of the Year, offering fresh perspectives on how to make these eight annual Sabbats more meaningful and connected to your actual lived experience. • The Witch's Wheel comprises eight Sabbats: two equinoxes, two solstices, and four cross-quarter days • History behind these celebrations is often murky and controversial within the witchcraft community • Celebrating one-day rituals or focusing too much on historical accuracy can create disconnection • Pay attention to the actual seasons where you live rather than following generic celebrations • View each Sabbat as a "slice of the year" rather than a single day celebration • Cross-quarter days serve as transition periods between major seasonal energies • Gardening and herbalism offer practical ways to connect with seasonal changes • Each season carries unique energy: Imbolc (spark), Spring (renewal), Beltane (beauty), Summer (joy), Lammas (harvest), Autumn (release), Samhain (honoring death), Winter (rest) • Modern witches should evolve rather than just romanticize the past Text me through my website or reach out on social media to continue this conversation about evolving your seasonal celebrations.

Rewilding the Soul: One Witch's Path to Authenticity 42:24

Send us a text In this heartfelt premiere episode of Cozy Coven Chats, host Jenny C. Bell invites listeners into her personal spiritual journey—a winding path from Catholic child to closeted witch to published author and coven founder. Jenny shares the pivotal moment at age 10 when her CCD teacher's dismissal of animals having souls sparked her first spiritual crisis. This led to her discovery of witchcraft as a teenager, where she felt an immediate, profound connection that felt like coming home. Yet societal pressures and professional concerns as a teacher pushed her to hide this authentic part of herself for years. Through health struggles, workplace toxicity, and personal challenges in 2018-2019, Jenny experienced what she calls a "spiritual awakening" that forced her to surrender and rebuild. This transformation included daily meditation, yoga practice, and eventually reclaiming her witchy identity publicly—a move that transformed not only her sense of self but also led to creating an online coven community and securing a book deal. Jenny reflects on her journey as a spiral rather than a linear path, drawing parallels to Joseph Campbell's "hero's journey" where we must leave home to return transformed. She defines a witch today as "someone wild who has shaken off cultural norms to tap into their intuition," embodying the rewilding process she herself underwent.
