You’re not broken. You’re just blooming on your own timeline.
In this episode of The Manifestation Series, we explore what it means to honour your magick when life doesn’t match the script. Maybe it’s spring outside, but you’re deep in grief. Or the world is slowing down for winter while your inner flame is rising.
We’ve been told manifestation works best in perfect alignment, but what if misalignment is part of the magick?
In this episode, we explore:
When the Season Doesn’t Match Your Life
How to recognise and honour energetic dissonance.
Learn why your body’s rhythm might not match the Wheel of the Year, and why that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
The Magick of Letting Go – Detachment Without Giving Up
Not everything blooms on demand.
Learn the sacred difference between surrendering and giving up, and why your most powerful manifestations often arrive after you release control.
Moon Phases & Manifestation – When to Wish, Work, and Wait
The Moon is your emotional compass.
Discover how to work with each phase to nourish your desires gently, even when your inner world and the outer world aren’t in sync.
BONUS:
The “Out of Sync Diagnosis”: Which energetic weather system are you in?
A self-check tool for realignment with compassion and power.
Why This Episode is Magick:
When you feel disconnected from the seasons, the sabbats, or even your own practice, this episode offers a way home. Not through force, but through feeling. Through rhythm. Through deep, soul-led trust.
This is manifestation that doesn’t shame your shadow.
It honours it as sacred.
Perfect for You If:

Episode 8: Weather Magick & Somatic Manifestation

You don’t always have to be manifesting, you’re allowed to live the cycle.
In this episode of The Manifestation Series, we step away from the productivity trap and return to nature’s sacred timing. Discover how to align your manifestation practice with the rhythm of the seasons, the lunar phases, and your inner energetic cycles, so your desires grow not through pressure, but through presence.
The Solar Path – Manifesting with the Wheel of the Year
Learn how each of the 8 sabbats carries a unique energetic signature and how to plant, nourish, and harvest your intentions in sync with the land’s rhythm.
Cyclical Manifestation & Inner Seasons
Learn how your inner rhythm mirrors the Earth’s, and how to stop forcing yourself to bloom when you’re in a winter phase.
Lunar Living for Long-Term Manifestation
Move beyond basic moon rituals.
This is about living the lunar path, each month a new container, each phase a checkpoint. Anchor your intentions with the waxing, blooming, waning, and resting phases of the Moon.
Chronos vs Kairos Time
Reframe time itself: Linear productivity (Chronos) vs Sacred timing (Kairos). Discover how manifestation thrives when you embrace divine timing over deadlines.
If you’ve ever burned out trying to “stay high vibe” or blamed yourself when a manifestation didn’t land, this episode offers a new reframe: You’re not behind, you’re simply in a season.
This is the magick of manifestation rooted in Earth, Moon, and body. It’s not about control, it’s about co-creation.
Feeling out of sync with the world? You're not alone.
Episode 7: “When You’re Out of Sync” explores how to stay magickal when your internal season doesn’t match the external world. Whether you’re grieving in spring or blooming in winter, we’ll talk about honouring your truth, moving through energetic dissonance, and detaching without giving up.

Do You Need Both to Shape Your Reality?
Modern vision boards meet ancient ritual in this powerful exploration of what actually creates change.

How Intention, Energy, Action and Alignment Bring Spells to Life
What really makes a manifestation spell work?
In this episode, we peel back the magickal layers and reveal the energetic anatomy that powers every successful spell, from your nervous system to your altar, your thoughts to your rituals. Whether you’re a seasoned witch or new to energy work, this episode helps you map the mechanics behind the magick.
Forget waiting for the universe to deliver. This is about becoming the co-creator of your reality.
Wondering why your manifestation hasn’t landed yet?
We also explore common blocks, like resistance, overthinking, and energetic tangles, and offer magickal ways to clear your field so your desire can flow in freely.
Magick vs Manifestation
Modern vision boards meet ancient ritual. What’s the difference—and do you need both?
We’ll explore:
Choose one of the four forces, intention, energy, action, or alignment, and track how it shows up in your current manifestation.
Strengthen the one that’s weakest.
Watch what shifts.

What if the real reason your manifestation isn’t landing… is because your body doesn’t feel safe enough to receive it?
In this episode, we reframe manifestation not as something you think, but something you embody. Your nervous system, your breath, your posture, your pleasure, they are the spell.
Because you don’t manifest with thoughts alone.
You manifest with your whole being.
This week’s invitation is a short but powerful practice that helps you:
No pushing. No bypassing. Just slow, sacred embodiment.
Episode 3: The Four Forces of Real Magick
We’ll break down the energetic anatomy of a working spell:
Plus: a “Spell Diagnosis” segment to help you fine-tune your practice.
The Somatic Manifestation Series is coming soon inside the A Pinch of Magick app (see download links below).
You’ll get full-body spellwork, nervous system rituals, and soul-aligned practices to root your desires deep into lived reality. Keep an eye out in the app to be first to access.
💭 What does your body know that your mind forgot?
🧘♀️ What would it feel like to let your nervous system lead your next manifestation?
Tag @RebeccaAnuwen and share your ritual or reflection.

You're not just casting spells.
You're becoming the magick.

Welcome to the very first episode of Manifestation Reimagined—where we throw out the rulebook, ditch the vision board pressure, and come home to the truth: you already know how to manifest.
Before manifestation was a buzzword, before you were told to think positive or “raise your vibe”… you knew.
You knew how to dream with your body. You knew how to cast spells with your voice.
You knew how to create just by wanting.
This episode is your permission slip to remember what was never really lost.
Ritual of the Week
At the end of this episode, I guide you through a simple but powerful practice:
The Desire Flame Ritual — a way to honour your desires as sacred, not selfish.
Bring a candle, a journal, and your curiosity. This isn’t just self-help—it’s soul retrieval.
If you’ve ever felt like your mind is onboard with a goal but your body says nope, Episode 2 is for you.
The Body is the Spell drops next, and it’s a deep dive into somatic manifestation: how your nervous system, emotions, and rituals shape what you actually call in.
Inside the A Pinch of Magick app, you’ll find exclusive content, journal prompts, and an upcoming Somatic Manifestation Mini-Series to help you embody your intentions, not just think about them.
If this episode sparked something inside you, share it with someone who’s ready to remember too.
Tag me on social @rebeccaanuwen and let me know:
💭 What are you remembering about your power today?
You were born with this.
Now it’s time to live like it.
🎧 Hit play, light your candle, and let the remembering begin.

On today's episode of the A Pinch of Magick podcast I'm joined by Briana Pegado, an intuitive, artist, and author of Make Good Trouble: A Practical Guide to the Energetics of Disruption.
Briana dives deep into why disruption is essential for personal and societal healing, embracing chaos, and building a more connected world.
We explore:
Why Now?
Briana shares her insights on why our world, as we stand on the brink of the Age of Aquarius, is primed for this book. As old systems and institutions are being questioned, people are called to reconnect with their inner power and challenge societal norms.
Living with Disruption
For Briana, disruption isn’t about chaos for chaos’ sake. She discusses how each of us can harness our unique energy to disrupt consciously—whether it’s in daily rituals, questioning power dynamics, or embracing life’s uncertainties.
The Power of Discomfort
Rebecca and Briana explore the art of sitting with discomfort. Briana explains how transformation often requires us to lean into discomfort, challenging our instinct to “keep things neat.” Listen in as they discuss how to make peace with difficult emotions and turn anger and sadness into powerful catalysts for change.
The Role of Tarot in Navigating Life
Taking the path less travelled, Briana reveals how she incorporated Tarot archetypes like the Fool and the Hermit as guiding figures throughout her book. She explains how these symbols help us face the unknown and guide us through life’s disruptions.
Values as Your Compass
Briana offers a unique tool, the “Values Compass,” for reconnecting with our values and navigating life’s chaotic moments. She emphasises that values help us make aligned decisions, especially when facing disruption.
Disruptive Healing in Practice
Briana shares her journey from personal struggles to her experiences in anti-racism training and sustainable development. For her, being disruptive is a healing act, a chance to make space for voices that have long been silent.
Aligned vs. Abusive Disruption
Not all disruption is created equal. Briana breaks down how to discern between aligned disruption and abusive disruption, encouraging listeners to explore their own relationship with power.
Get Practical with Gentle Chaos
Want to dip your toe into the world of disruption? Briana provides gentle, practical tips to cultivate a relationship with chaos and stretch your comfort zones without overwhelming your nervous system.
