Flip the Script

How to become the antidote to surface spirituality

In recent years I have been sharing a lot about the surface spirituality which truly is just people exchanging drugs for plant ceremonies, raves for ecstatic dances and girl’s nights out for women’s circles and oracle cards.

It’s performance at best but dissociation at worst.

All coming from an internalised missionary or colonising dynamic that is playing out subconsciously. Most people are not aware of it, hence why I write about it, share it in my ceremonies and train my students accordingly.

When we were severed from our ancestral spiritual lineages and forced to adopt an Abrahamic faith from a completely different environmental origin, healers got accused of witchcraft and sovereign individuals with property were killed, women with prophetic and oracular power who used to be revered as priestesses, seeresses and crucial strategists in battle and peace-bringers were made dependent on men…

War went on and slowly, over centuries, our bodies lost connection with the land, nature became labelled as something outside of us and our reality got shaped primarily by our mind.

We can be aware of all this, rationally comprehend it, but nothing will change within the mental state only. What made you sick won’t heal you. You need to bridge back to feeling and embodied states, to intuition, connection, the interdependency of all that is alive and dead. Yes, also the dead leave an imprint.

We mostly know this nowadays through the idea of the witch wound. Something I believe we all carry collectively, no matter if we remember a past life as a witch or have ancestral mothers who were midwives or magic women.

But, what I hear no one talk about is the other lineage we also descend from: the ones who judged, sold out and killed the witches. We are readily associating ourselves with the heroes and martyrs - and more profoundly with the victims - but ignore the perpetrator within ourselves.

You might have heard about the drama triangle (I give a bit of a jokingly framed but nonetheless very real and practical example of it here).

But as long as we identify with one (or even all!) of the three parts, we won’t be able to move forward or integrate properly.

We will stay stuck in a repeating cycle.

What is required of us is to step out of the drama triangle completely and stop telling ourselves stories that support the old narrative of our identity.

In order to do this you must recognise where your usual identification lies and how your confirmation bias tries to keep you stuck there.

Then it is about becoming aware of the other parts within yourself and integrating those with compassion and responsibility to respond differently to life, from a place of creator consciousness and a more fully reclaimed self.

Easier said than done but nevertheless doable. It’s an ongoing practice however and we all need our loved ones and community to point out our blindspots, because we all have them.

In Witch Alchemy I lead you extensively through each point of the drama triangle, how you can identify where you are at and literally flip it on its head to move into the matured versions of the drama cycle - to step fully step out of the dynamic that holds you captive.

You can purchase the workshop as a standalone here for £75 or join my Substack as an annual member for £110 for the whole year to gain access, alongside the inner temple activation course ILLUMINATION and upcoming trainings on becoming a Ceremonialist this world needs.

This workshop is the foundation of any facilitator within the spiritual field, providing that your sacred spaces are rooted in honesty, clarity, integrity and power that is coming from source and not conditioned colonised and appropriated mindsets and internalised dynamics.
