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.   Pre-order your own copy of ‘The Book of Magical Manifestations- How creating an Art Journal Can help create your world’ Click Here   Connect with Nikki: Instagram nikkiloy.creatrix Nikki’s website:  nikkiloy.com Substack nikkiloycreatrix.substack Support Turns Out She’s a Witch- over on Patreon, click below I want in!- The Patreon Coven!   Book a session with Shannon, and get yourself something magical @⁠⁠AshaMoon⁠⁠ Visit Of Earth and Ether Oracle ⁠⁠Get in touch, we would love to hear your questions and stories Email [email protected] Follow us, and DM on Instagram ⁠⁠@turnsout_shesawitch⁠⁠ Produced & Presented by Shannon Cotterill & Laura Turner.

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.

This episode, Shannon and Laura speak with Nina Mielipäivä, a Sami heritage holder and author of Mythology of the Sámi - Minorities Within Minorities, to explore what Sámi culture means today and why reclaiming stories matters. Together, they unpack what the word “witch” can mean in Indigenous and marginalized contexts and what drew Nina to write a book centered on minority voices within minority communities. The episode offers a clear, accessible introduction to who the Sámi are, their history, and the nuanced ways identity and sovereignty unfold across communities. The discussion dives into how the Arctic landscape shapes Sámi spirituality, myth, and storytelling, reflections on deities, the animal world, and sacred beings. They explore shamanic practices and drum traditions with care, underscoring the respect and responsibility required when approaching these traditions in modern spaces. Tying it together with a note of hope, the conversation turns to language revival, cultural reclamation, and the resilience that sustains Sámi culture.

Shannon shares how her practice blending clay, photography, energy work and ritual has evolved over this years as she has grown as a mother, woman, leader and witch.

Turns Out She's a Witch welcomes Cass Campbell, musician and sound journey artist, and founder of Music for the MindTM. In this episode we delve into Cass’s early love of music, working as a detective, and the winding path that brought her to founding Music for the MindTM, a journey where sound becomes a compass... We look at how sound and rhythm can shape wellbeing, and forge a sense of togetherness within groups - the subtle dynamics that emerge when people gather to listen and play as one. We delve into both the science and the lived experience of healing with sound and frequency, sharing how auditory patterns can nudge the body towards equilibrium and move the spirit. The conversation turns to breath, voice, chanting and drum rhythms, and their tangible effects on the body - in particular the vagus nerve. We consider tempo’s powerful grip on mood and its unexpected roles in cinema and ritual, unpacking how pace can tilt perception and emotion in surprising ways. And through it all, Cass offers glimpses of her creative vision: a favourite quote that speaks to her, a Divine Tool of the Week that listeners can try, and a look ahead at the projects she’s weaving for the near future!

Season 9 kicks off with episode one, and Shannon and Laura are back on the podcast sharing life updates and diving into the world of Animism — the belief that natural objects, places and beings (think animals, plants, rivers, mountains and even the weather) all carry spirit or consciousness. We explore how spiritual practices are always evolving, and Shannon opens up about how the way she honours the Elements has shifted over time — both in her personal practice and in how she now holds women’s circles. Along the way, we get a little playful, chatting about animals and the Elements they represent to us, and where they show up in our lives.   Support Turns Out She’s a Witch- over on Patreon, click below I want in!- The Patreon Coven!   Book a session with Shannon, and get yourself something magical @⁠⁠AshaMoon⁠⁠ VisitOf Earth and Ether Oracle ⁠⁠Get in touch, we would love to hear your questions and stories Email [email protected] Follow us, and DM on Instagram ⁠⁠@turnsout_shesawitch⁠⁠ Produced & Presented by Shannon Cotterill & Laura Turner.
