Luke talks to Witch, podcaster and security officer Swailes about her witchcraft podcast and the power of manifestation. She explains how everyday rituals, from blowing out birthday candles to decorating a Christmas tree, can be viewed as forms of magic.

Swailes tells the story of how she discovered sigil magic at a moon circle in York, and how creating and eating a piece of bread with her own sigil on it became a powerful moment of personal growth.

She also shares a cautionary story about manifesting money and accidentally connecting it with her husband’s redundancy. Luke improvises a soundtrack to the story and Swailes uses a Shruti box drone, exploring the ideas of manifestation, panic, uncertainty and the universe observing everything from the background.

The episode explores how music can offer a completely different perspective on personal stories, and how improvisation can create unexpected connections between storytelling, spirituality and emotion.
