In this conversation, Kate and Kristal explore the themes of sovereignty, personal empowerment, and the importance of self-knowledge and responsibility. They discuss the significance of grounding practices, the invocation of personal power, and the distinction between power over and power with. The dialogue emphasizes the necessity of consent in relationships and magic, the role of boundaries, and the journey of reclaiming personal sovereignty, especially in the context of societal expectations and personal relationships.

This topic felt so important to both of us in light of all the things happening in our world. The use, misuse and abuse of power is not sovereignty, it is control!
Kristal and Kate get very passionate on this topic and they each share the ways they each share the ways they step into their own sovereingty and the responsibility that comes with being sovereign. Too much lately it seems people want to have and weild power but they don’t want to be responsible for those entrusted in their care. Ultimately to be sovereign over a land or a people, you make a promise to protect and care for that which is under your leadership or guardianship.
So what do you do when you are connected to a leader and it isn’t working? When you are in relation to someone oe something and it is draining to you and not empowering? For this Kristal & Kate talk about banishment and cord cutting to regain your own sovereignty.
As Kristal and Kate explore this topic it becomes clear that doing your own work to be sovereign to yourself is the deep, lifetime work of the witch and is to be treated as sacred.
We plan to do a follow up episode to this one that talks about social justice and activism in your spell work and ritual. Anything you want to make sure we cover? Send us a message.
Tell us how you are witching out loud and until next time. Do Witchy Shit!
