In this thought-provoking episode of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, Leandra Witchwood and Elyse Welles dive deep into one of the most urgent topics in modern spirituality — the rise of AI in witchcraft. From spellwriting and herbalism to tarot and dream interpretation, witches everywhere are turning to AI for answers — but at what cost?

Leandra and Elyse unpack the hidden dangers of using artificial intelligence for magical work, including misinformation, environmental damage, and the loss of personal intuition. They explore how AI erodes discernment, replaces community with false connection, and disconnects us from Earth-based practices. Yet, they also discuss how to use technology mindfully as a tool, without losing your sovereignty or spiritual depth.

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or caught in the algorithmic web, this episode offers grounded, witch-tested insight on how to keep your magic human, sacred, and alive.

This episode is both a warning and a call back to embodied, earth-rooted magic. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of your intuitive path, don’t miss the Feminine Wound Masterclass referenced in this episode — a free live event exploring intuition, inner truth, and the healing of ancestral feminine wounds.
