A Neurodivergent Approach to Spiritual Practice | with Jenny C Bell Author Divergent Witchcraft
Description
Magick is as dynamic as we are! We’re joined by Jenny C. Bell, author of Divergent Witchcraft, to talk about building an inclusive witchcraft practice for real humans: ADHD minds, autistic learners, highly sensitive people, and anyone who has ever felt “other” in a world built around someone else’s rules.
We unpack why Jenny chose the word “divergent” instead of trying to speak for every form of neurodivergence, and how witches are already deviating from the norm just by claiming the word witch. From there, we go deeper into deconstruction: how Abrahamic religious frameworks, Puritan work ethic, and cultural pressure can teach obedience, shame, and disconnection, and how self-sovereignty becomes a core magical skill.
Then we get practical. Jenny shares meditation options for people who can’t sit still, including walking meditation and “meditative moments” that happen while you craft, doodle, or move. We talk journaling with purpose (especially writing to your future self), speaking spells out loud through breath and vibration, simple summer solstice rituals that celebrate sunshine without pressure, and using music playlists as a powerful ally for manifestation and energy work.
If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review so more divergent witches can find their way home.
