Episode 86: How to open your heart to magic - even when you feel stuck in the mundane

With Genevieve Davis

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Genevieve Davis - or Sasha Stephens as is her real name.  Genevieve was living a miserable, drab life until, at the age of 43, she experienced a profound magical transformation - and she has been teaching and writing about magic ever since.  With a distinctly practical and down to earth approach to magic, her philosophy is simple: magic is available to all, and a good teacher merely nudges people to rediscover the magic they already possess. An author of 22 books, Genevieve runs The Academy of Magic, an online teaching resource for all magically-minded people. 

In this magical episode, we discuss the power of magic in healing life's mundanity. Genevieve shares her personal journey from rock bottom, with a mundane life of debt and disempowerment, to discovering magic and changing her destiny. We dive into the significance of storytelling, the misconception of magic in our culture, and the crucial role of ‘inner healing’ for real manifestation, illuminating the importance of facing fears and opening to self-healing. We also dived into being openly ‘magical’ in a logical world, the empowering importance of ‘honesty’, and practical advice for integrating magic.


What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

  • Genevieve’s vulnerable story highlights the deep power of self-illumination in our healing, highlighting the moment she realised she had to save herself, and was not a victim - which was her own opening to what she calls real ‘magic’

  • Magic is really another word for our internal ‘creative’ power - and it’s really life-changing when we begin to see that change comes from within 

  • Real magic is created when we truly self-heal - it is ‘inside out’ healing; we have to do the inner work (that often involves looking at our childhood wounding) to heal our outer world  

  • This concept of ‘magic’ transcends traditional views around manifestation and healing, which teach it is all about the external and ‘doing’

  • Real magic and healing require honesty, and facing discomfort and fear - stepping into challenges is a necessary part of our healing and expansion, especially as healers

  • Magic is something that science can’t explain - and it can be tempting to approach it logically - but it really isn’t a linear process; we have to *feel* it our way into it.
