Witchy Woo, with Kylie Anna
The Witchy Woo Podcast is for the woman who’s remembering who the hell she is. We’re all about sodding the “shoulds” and embracing spiritual freedom.
Hosted by Kylie Anna, the Akashic Witch, this is where spirituality meets real life. Together, we explore the Witch Wound, practical magick, Akashic wisdom, soul remembrance, spiritual awakening, true crime-style witch trial stories, and the beliefs that have kept women playing small for generations.
Expect thought-provoking solo episodes, inspiring guest interviews, guided journeys, plenty of laughs, probably a few tears, and honest conversations that challenge everything you thought you knew about yourself.
Whether you’re a practising witch, spiritually curious, or simply searching for something deeper, you’re in the right place. Welcome to your coven.
New episodes every Tuesday. 🖤

S2: E35 - True Crime Witch Trial Story - The Samlesbury Witches
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Join me for another True-Crime Style Witch Trial story, that saw three women accused of witchcraft.
This episode tells the story of Jane Southworth, Jennet Bierley and Ellen Bierley, who fell victim to the patriarchal society and the Reformation of England at the time of 1612.
Caught between the religions of Catholicism and the Church of England, people were brought to trial over their illegal actions of continuing to follow the Catholic faith, yet often disowned and disinherited by their families if they switched their faith. It was a 'no-win' situation, in which, women were often thought to be the cause (obviously!).
In this heart-breaking story, these women were accused of child murder and cannibalism, all in the name of witchcraft, in Samlesbury, Lancashire, and were brought to trial on 19th August 1612.
As with all witch trial stories, I will be lighting a candle for:
Jane Southworth
Jennet Bierley
Ellen Bierley
And all the other victims of the witch trials. I will be lighting my candle on 4/8/24 at 7pm, and invite you to join me, either at the same time, or any time that feels right for you.
As always, I would love to hear your thoughts and theories? Were Jane, Jennet and Ellen witches? Or was it totally fabricated by Grace Sowerbutts as a punishment for not staying loyal to the Catholic faith?
