WEBVTT - Head Witch in Charge feat. Mia Magik

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to Good Mom's Bad Choices. I'm Erica and

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm Mila Hill.

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Hello.

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Hello there. If you guys are just joining us, this

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>is a very special episode. We are in a different

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>room because you're entering the tribe chat. How are you

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>feeling today, my love? I feel good.

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>I like our little new setup. It feels it feels

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>like more like us.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I've been advocating for this setup since the beginning of

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>since we got the sign.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's just I know that it can be

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 2>a pain in the ass, and I have no I'm not.

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Going to do it. It's inconvenient.

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Some one else is gonna have to do it.

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>We're we're in the living room of our studio, but

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the light is so sexy and it is more us.

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>That's why we got the light. We're like some nighttime bitches,

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>hence the night fairy.

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I want to get right into it.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm really excited because you guys today we are joined

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>by a real witch. You heard it. If you triggered,

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>good keep listening. We know you get really triggered by

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 2>the word witch. That's why we keep saying it over

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 2>and over and over for the last six years, but

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>we are joined today by me and Magic, the head

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>witch in charge, the founder of the Witch School. Best

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 2>selling author. Your book is called Intuition, Into which I

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>love the love and I've been I've been following you,

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and I love, love, love your page. I just love

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>what you represent, I love what you share. I love

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>how you've tapped into magic and are sharing it with

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the world, because I think the world of magic gets

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>such a bad rap, and especially the word witch, like

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>that is a word. I think that me and Mila

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize how so much negative connotation until really, I mean,

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I think we always knew, but then, like we do retreats,

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>and so we would say that word, and I remember

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>a few girls being really triggered by that word, and

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, why does that upset you so much? So

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I commend you for going balls to the wall with that.

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>I have indeed, Yes, So, welcome to the show.

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much.

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>It's so good to be here, and me two both,

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>it's so nice to have you. I'm excited. I always

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>really get excited when we get other witches on the show,

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>because I think you're right now a lot of women

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>are comfortable in like claiming that or saying that, And

0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>even you and I have had our we've had our

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>own like.

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Back and forth about journey to the word witch.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>If you've been listening for like the last six years,

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 1>there was a time where we would only say like

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>secretly which or there'd be time and be like, oh,

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, like witches like not that kind like everybody

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>keep calm, we believe in God. And then finally we're

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>just like we're wishes. And I kind of fuck with

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 1>it just because I like the I like that it

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>triggers people. I like that it makes people uncomfortable because

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 1>I just what about it makes you uncomfortable with like

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the harnessing of energy, the harnessing of power. And it's

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 1>so uh like Walt Disney of us to be spooked

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>out by it to this day as an adult, So like,

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>tell us what has been your journey with your witch?

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Which has been your witch journey not only with the

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>word but with your own magic?

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, it's long and the word you know, it's

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 3>so the reason why we're triggered by it is because

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 3>of our programming, is because of the patriarchy, is because

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 3>of organized religion. The word means wise, It comes from

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Old German. It's the same where we get the word wisdom, wizard, wicked, wicka.

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 3>All of those words are from the same origin and

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>they meant one who sees, one who knows, one with wisdom.

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's interesting what you said about harnessing

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 3>the power is because wisdom comes from a myriad of

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 3>different things. There's yogaic wisdom, and Buddhist wisdom, and indigenous

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>wisdom and the ancient the oldest forms of wisdom are

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 3>really just knowing the plants, the cycles and seasons, how

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 3>to work with the earth and the weather in order

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 3>to make food grow, in order to you know, one

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 3>of the big reasons why witches and healers were demonized

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 3>by the church is because you could use plants for

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 3>birth control, you could prevent babies from coming into the world,

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 3>you could be really sovereign. And so you know, we're

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.160
<v Speaker 3>triggered by the word because the media, like you said,

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 3>has really created this green faced, wardy nosed, scary image

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 3>of what witches are. But back in the day, which

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 3>is were just the healers. They were the doctors of

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 3>your village, of your tribe. And so my personal journey

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>with it, I was kind of the same way people

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 3>would say, Oh, you're super witchy, and you know, I

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 3>have like wild hair and I often have twigs stuck

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 3>in it because I spend a lot of time in nature,

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 3>and so people would say, oh, you're so witchy, and

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, no, no, no, I'm a wizard like

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Harry Potter. You know, I'm not a witch. And I

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>didn't resonate with it either because of all of these

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 3>negative associations that we hold with it. But ultimately I

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 3>experienced just such an awakening remembering that it is about wisdom,

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 3>and wisdom is just the lessons that you've learned throughout

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 3>your lifetime and how you inform your behaviors as an

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 3>embodiment of those lessons. So you know, when you have

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 3>a bad feeling about a guy that you're dating, but

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 3>you've had a bad feeling before and you kept dating

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 3>him and then he cheated on you, wisdom is what

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 3>separates that act and continuing to ignore your intuition and

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 3>as I like to call it, or listening and saying,

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 3>you know what, the last time I had a feeling

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 3>like this, I shouldn't have ignored the red flag, And

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.280
<v Speaker 3>this time I'm going to listen, and I'm gonna take

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 3>better care of myself, and I'm gonna honor who I am.

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 3>That's all wisdom is, and we've forgotten the wisdom of

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 3>the ancient ways in our modern day. None of us

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 3>know how to grow food, or like fix our own clothes,

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 3>or any build a fire, you know, kill an animal,

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 3>even though so many of us eat them. And so

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 3>I think wisdom is such an important thing to reclaim

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 3>and to bring home to the reverence that it deserves.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 3>And for me, it was about nature and finding I

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 3>wasn't raised in organized religion, and nature was always the temple,

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 3>but that kind of went unsaid. It wasn't really explicitly

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 3>talked about. But we would just go and spend a

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 3>lot of time in nature as a family. And for me,

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I realized that when I started understanding God and we

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 3>were mentioning this person earlier. I had this boyfriend who

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.719
<v Speaker 3>was really Christian when I was young, and he had

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 3>this dialogue with God, with the Holy Father because he

0:06:58.720 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 3>didn't have a father.

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Figure in it life.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>And I thought that was so fascinating and so interesting

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>that he could always, you know, pick up the phone

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 3>and talk to God and God was so masculine, and

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like, where is the mother in God? Where's

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the feminine in God? If we all come out of

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 3>wombs and pussies, how is there no feminine aspect of God?

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 3>And so I really wanted to discover that for myself

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 3>and learn what that meant. And I found her in nature.

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 3>I found this voice. I found someone that would answer

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 3>and that would respond to me all the time. And

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 3>so that really set me down a path of goddess worship,

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 3>finding my own inner goddess, balancing my own inner masculine.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Who's the warrior and the protector and the provider inside

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 3>of me? And who's the creative muse and the receptive,

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 3>sensual sexual queen energy? And how do I bring those

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 3>two archetypes into harmony? And that was how I found

0:07:58.320 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 3>the Greatest Magical Powers.
