In this episode, I'm diving into what to expect astrologically as we move from 2025 into 2026 — a time of profound collective and personal transformation.
You’ll learn:
🌕 The major transits shaping 2026 — including Neptune and Saturn in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, Jupiter in Leo, the North Node in Aquarius, and Venus retrograde in Scorpio
🌕 Why 2025 felt like one of the most chaotic years in recent memory (and how 2026 will help us integrate what’s shifted collectively and individually)
🌕 What it means to build “energetic muscle memory” as planets move into new signs
🌕 Four powerful spiritual tools for navigating change with grace:
Intuition - trusting your choices even when the path isn’t clear
Pleasure - anchoring into your body and your desires
Shadow Work - courageously traversing your personal underworld in times of grief, heartbreak, or change
Ritual - creating grounding stability and spiritual connection even when the world is in upheaval
I'm also revealing the details for our 2026 Empowered Modern Witches Summits - four free virtual gatherings exploring each of these sacred tools in depth:
🌙 The Oracle Within (January 26–29): intuition + self-trust
🔥 The Lover Within (April 27–30): pleasure + sensuality
🌹 The Priestess Within (August 3–6): ritual + self-devotion
🖤 The Witch Within (October 26–29): shadow work + reclaiming power

What if the part of you you’re afraid to let out is actually your greatest power? In this episode, I share how the “good girl” in me was burned at the stake — and how the Dark Moon Priestess rose from her ashes.
Most of the ways you've been taught to do shadow work will actually keep you stuck in the same old loops for years on end. You journal, you reflect, you pull tarot cards, you analyze your astrology chart — but nothing in your real life actually changes.
Even when you have a lot of self-awareness and understand where your shadows come from, if you're approaching this work only intellectually, and not moving your shadows out of your body or making changes in your real daily life... you're going to stay stuck.
In this episode, you’ll discover why that happens — and what to do instead.
You’ll learn:
✨ The three phases of shadow work (and why you get trapped in phase two of understanding)
✨ Why awareness and understanding aren’t enough to shift your subconscious patterns
✨ How to reclaim your shadows instead of trying to fix or heal yourself
I’ll also share my own stories of reclaiming shadows like anger, anxiety, and “neediness” in my relationships — and how you can do the same in your own life.
💫 If you’re ready to stop looping on the same shadows and finally take your power back, join me inside The Reclamation — my 8-week immersive program to reclaim your shadows, liberate your power, and live with unapologetic purpose + pleasure. Temple doors close October 3, 2025.

In this episode, I’m sharing a big shift that’s downloaded for me recently: stepping into my Dark Moon Priestess era. This is a big internal shift, but one you're going to start to see show up in my work, my content, summits, offers, branding, and more, so I want to share more about what this means for me and how it's going to I'm sharing about:

In this episode, we're tapping into a recording from the recent conference, Ritual, Creativity, and Art: Unlocking the Magic in Your Home. Tenae was interviewed by María Isabel Barreiro about how astrology can guide the creation of deeply personal, powerful daily rituals.
I shared my journey of rebuilding my spiritual practice after losing my home in a wildfire and using astrology as a blueprint to create rituals, self-care, and to empower yourself.

In this episode, I'm joined by Afura Nefertiti who is a returning guest and a long-time friend and fellow witch. Afura and I are discussing her shift towards working more with feminine energy and how the masculine structures and systems she's worked with in the past still serve her... but are no longer her most important focus in her life or spiritual practice. She shares about how she is opening up to receive more rest, support, and creative expression and talks about how our patriarchal society overvalues productivity.

In this episode, I'm sharing my very personal stories of coming out as a witch, as polyamorous, and as bisexual - and how each new layer of authenticity that I've uncovered has led me closer and closer to the goddess within.
We're talking about what goddess work is - and what it isn't. Did you know that you can practice goddess work... without every worshipping or even working with a goddess directly?
You absolutely CAN and I'm sharing lots of ideas for rituals to help you connect with goddess energy, including my own personal goddess practices.
But what goddess work is truly about is softening into beauty, opening your heart to receiving, releasing shame around pleasure and rest, and honoring your truest desires and authentic self.

In this episode, I'm joined by Jill McArthur who is a professional tarot card reader with a focus on empowerment and self-reflection. Jill is a third-generation witch with roots in a magical lineage, beginning with her grandmother, who was an herbalist in Pakistan. Jill and I talked about her journey into working with tarot as an intuitive, but also reflective tool. She shared about some of her own practices with tarot as a wonderful support in "present-telling" - really being in the present moment and reflecting on your current circumstances, rather than anxiously living in the potential future. Jill also dispelled some common misconceptions about tarot.

Dear Modern Witch... It's time for you to fall madly in love with your own life. When you dedicate.
In this episode, I'm sharing the juicy story of the #1 time I didn't trust my intuition - which centers around my big breakup back in 2023 so we're really spilling the tea here. Post-breakup, I've found myself on a journey to non-monogamy which has been deeply personal and healing - and trusting myself has been the key to getting here.
I talk in this episode about a time when I had an intuitive hit, but didn't trust it, and another time when I heard the hit loud and clear and followed it through. In both instances, the nature of my intuition was quiet, direct, and very certain, which is a notable way to differentiate intuition from fear and external influences - it's always quiet and never chaotic.
I'll be talking a lot more about these themes of what it means to really trust your intuition during the free Oracle Within Summit happening February 26-28, as well as sharing more stories and examples from my own life! Click here to get your free ticket now!

In this episode, I'm joined by Mel Gutierrez, who is a yoga teacher, personal trainer, energy healer, dominatrix-in-training, and a scientific-minded body researcher who bridges the gap between science and magic. She is a cool ass person and I'm so excited to have her on the podcast! Mel and I talked about the intersection of sex and death, rather than the usual phrasing of "life and death", and how these two often-taboo tools and experiences are powerful ways to empower ourselves. She shared about the idea of the body as the first temple of manifestation and also how we can hold the nuanced reality of disease and illness. We discussed concepts such as conscious kink, seeing sex as something creative, and knowing that death is a force beyond our control. It's a super juicy episode and probably in one of my top ten fave interviews ever.... so give it a listen!.

Celeste talked about her personal witchcraft practices, including ancestor work and the changing nature of her craft, particularly in relation to the seasons.

In this episode, I'm joined by George Lizos, an author, psychic healer, and Hellenistic priest. George shares his journey of working with the gods and goddesses in Greek religion and becoming a priest in Cyprus. He explains that the gods are not just archetypes, but mirrors of the universe and reflections of universal laws and functions. George also talks about the Greek Wheel of the Year, which honors all 12 major gods and goddesses, and the practice of setting up personal altars to establish a connection with the gods. We discussed the power of connecting with ancestral spirituality and finding a sense of home in our practices.

In this episode, we are exploring the dark divine feminine, which is an aspect that can be found in all of us, regardless of gender. Dark goddesses can be found in almost every culture, pantheon, and mythology as an essential aspect of humanity and working with them as deities or archetypes can be deeply healing to our shadow selves.
We are talking about the myths of Lilith, Inanna, Persephone, Eris, and Melusina, as well as a little insight from the love goddess, Venus, too. I'll be delving much deeper into these goddesses and the shadows and aspects of us they represent during my presentation on dark goddess asteroids during the summit! If you upgrade your free summit ticket to the All-Access Pass, you'll also get instant access to my Heal the Witch Within quiz and course to help you determine which dark goddess will be most supportive for you.

In this episode, I'm joined by Adama Sesay, author of Black Moon Lilith Rising & Cosmic Alchemy Oracle. We are discussing the power of the dark divine feminine and the importance of healing the wounded feminine. Adama shares her journey into astrology and working with Lilith, emphasizing the need for a different lens in interpreting Lilith that includes the experiences of black women. She explores the transformative potential of Lilith and the role of shadow work in astrology, which she will be sharing more of during the 5th annual Empowered Modern Witches Summit from Sept. 23-27, 2024.
This was a fascinating conversation that went to a lot of of powerful places! We talked about how championing the once-demonized aspects of the feminine within all of us is key to healing and saving humanity. (Very Pluto in Aquarius!)

So many of us feel deep fear or shame around being a witch, even though we know we are meant for a magickal life. These are called witch wounds - wounds that have been passed down to us from our collective ancestors during the time of the European Witch Trials, a time when it was unsafe to be known as a witch or even to arouse suspicion of such a thing.
Many of us still carry these wounds that keep us ashamed of the power within and afraid of others finding out about our spiritual, magickal, and witchy inclinations. In this season-opening episode, I'm exploring how this fear and shame can show up in our lives and ways to release them so we can live more authentically.
Here are the key steps to releasing these shadows around your inner witch:

It's an excellent seasonal companion to my second book, The Modern Witch's Guide to Natural Magick.
