The Empress and The Fool
Episode 9: The Magic of Words, with Nicole Cloutier
What if we told you that words themselves are spells—that every time you speak, write, or name something, you’re practicing magic?
In this episode, we’re joined by our very first guest, writer and word witch Nicole Cloutier, for a conversation all about the power of language. From the ancient history of runes to the modern magic of poetry and self-talk, we explore how words shape our reality, influence our energy, and cast spells in both subtle and significant ways.
Listen to learn:
- Why words have always been a cornerstone of magical practice
- The history of runes, written spellwork, and rhyming spells
- How the language you use daily affects your mindset, relationships, and energy
- Ways to use writing, speaking, and naming with more intention in your spiritual work
- How to honor the dual power of words—to harm and to heal
Whether you’re a writer, a spellcaster, or someone who loves the poetry of language, this episode will help you approach your words with more reverence, precision, and magic.
