A decade. Thousands of women. Here's what I know.
You've read the self-help books, taken the manifesting challenges, and repeated the affirmations until you were blue in the face.
So why hasn't it stuck?
You've been told you just need to surrender more. Trust the universe more. Believe harder. Align better. And still — here you are.
Here's what's actually happening.
Your nervous system is trained to respond to the people around you. This version of you wants to fix problems that aren't yours, scream at social media comments, and actively deprioritize yourself in the name of keeping the peace.That's not a mindset problem.
The woman behind the methodology I'm Sara.
I Built This. Not from borrowed frameworks dressed up in witchy language. From 25 years of reading women's energy, a decade of watching what actually closes the gap — and every credential I could find to help me understand why.

The credentials & methodology behind it
This isn't theory for me. It's my life. I'm a homeschooling mom, the breadwinner for my family, and the point person for aging grandparents. I built this because I needed it — and 1,500 women have proven it works. The Original Methodology: Why This Works When Everything Else Didn't Holistic Witchery is built on two original frameworks: the Expansion Archetypes™ and the 5i Expansion Spiral™ — developed by Sara through direct work with thousands of women. Precision tools for identifying how your nervous system keeps you small, and building the inner authority to change it.
Master's in Education · BA English · Women & Gender Studies · Psychology This curriculum was designed by someone trained in how adults actually learn and change. The structure, the pacing, the scaffolding — all intentional. You're not getting content that sounds good on a sales page. You're getting a program built by an educator.
Certified ADHD Coach · Positive Discipline Educator Two certifications built entirely around nervous system regulation, executive function, and how humans behave under pressure. Which is, not coincidentally, exactly what the witch wound does — low-grade pressure, every single day.
Professional Life Coach — CAPP Institute Trained in strengths-based coaching that builds from what's already working rather than pathologizing what isn't. The program reflects this: we're not here to fix you. We're here to remember you.
25 Years Reading Tarot & Practicing Secular Witchcraft The spiritual tools in this program aren't decorative. They're functional. Two and a half decades of working with energy, intuition, and the deeper language of symbols means these tools were chosen with precision — not aesthetic.
One Million Podcast Downloads & Counting Over a million people have chosen to spend their time in this work. That's not a vanity number — it's a decade of women finding something here they couldn't find anywhere else. The message lands because it's true.

The Method
Here's How This Is
Gonna' Go Down.
Most spiritual programs give you tools. Crystals, moon rituals, journaling prompts. And those things are wonderful — but they're also easy to collect and never use, which is exactly what the witch wound wants you to do.
Holistic Witchery is built differently.
01 Energy Strand One Your Expansion Archetype™ & Astrological Blueprint You understand how you're actually wired — your strengths, your patterns, and the exact places your power gets quiet. We go deep into the astrology that explains you, not just describes you.
Your Big 3 Sun, Moon & Rising — the foundation of your energetic identity
Soul Purpose in Your Chart North Node, South Node, and your life's evolutionary direction
The Goddess Asteroids Chiron, Lilith, and the sacred wounds hiding your greatest power
Modalities & the Zodiac The life-changing lens that explains how you initiate, sustain, and shift energy
Your Expansion Archetype™ Sara's original framework for understanding your unique path to growth
02 Energy Strand Two The 5i Expansion Spiral™ & Nervous System Work A proven sequence that takes you from intention all the way through to embodied intuition — and the nervous system re-regulation that makes it stick. This is what makes the tools work instead of just collecting dust.
Intention Getting clear on what you actually want — not what you think you should want
Integration Weaving new patterns into real daily life, not just a vision board
Insight Shadow work that recovers your power rather than excavating your pain
Ideation Building a life that looks like yours — not someone else's highlight reel
Intuition Trusting yourself again — the whole point of all of this
03 Energy Strand Three Tools of Witchery for Modern Women The practical magic. Not the aesthetic version you've seen on Instagram — the functional version that actually changes how you move through the world.
The Elements Earth, air, fire, water — working with what's already in you and around you
Moon Phases Stop fighting the cycles. Start using them.
Tarot A mirror for your intuition, not a fortune-telling parlor trick
Chakras The energy centers where the witch wound actually lives — and heals
Personal Ritual Built for your life, your beliefs, your schedule — ritual that doesn't make you feel like you're faking it
This is what makes the tools actually work.
Because a tarot card is just cardboard until you trust yourself enough to hear what it's saying. Time required Less Than You Think.
⏱️ 3 hrs per week — fewer than 3 Netflix episodes
📅 3 months to move through the full program
🔄 Forever ongoing access — come back whenever a new version of you is ready
Self-paced. Self-study. Your schedule, your speed, your life. ✦ What students say ✦ Stories That Don't Suck.
I have grown so much internally. I'm calm and happy all the time. I'm productive with clear thoughts. My past is done and I've learned from it and moved on. No more procrastination. I'm living by the moon phases, moon signs, portals, and aspects. I feel so alive and know anything is possible. — Julie C.
Holistic Witchery is life-changing. This program has given me back my fire, my hope, my passion. It's worth every penny. I'm learning to love who I see in the mirror. My husband has noticed that I am more confident, less anxious, and carrying myself more positively. I am forever grateful. — Theresa
I suddenly saw how my Big 3 placements were being affected by the house ruler — like a light was on it. My moon is in Cancer but it lives in House 6, which is ruled by Virgo. This is why even though I am very empathetic, I can be very detached and analytical when taking care of patients. The connections. Thank you, thank you, thank you! — Lisa P.
That's my Leo Lilith saying: "You can want attention for things you've accomplished and it's okay to get it! Who gives a damn if you're seen as prideful? You have a right to shine, take up space, and be celebrated!" I am blown away by the things I've known all along but didn't recognize until now. — Karolyn L.
The information, the shadow work that propels you forward — I'm using these techniques for conflict resolution, classroom management, conscious parenting, relationships, everywhere. Paying for it might be a short-term stretch, but the long-term payout is so worth it. — Margo
Busy in my workbook, putting together the pieces. Just wow. Before this I had sort of given up on understanding charts. Now I see and feel the true value. It's phenomenal how well my chart has portrayed me. This is good work. I feel so proud. — Rhonda
The 5i's can be applied in all areas of life — removing roadblocks, building confidence, understanding how the past affects you, and many magical, wonderful self-care skills. It is well worth the investment in yourself. I wish I had done this a long time ago. — Pamela
Busy in my workbook, putting together the pieces. Just wow. Before this I had sort of given up on understanding charts. Now I see and feel the true value — it's phenomenal how well my chart has portrayed me. This is good work. I feel so proud. — A Holistic Witchery Student
I've learned how to speak up more, communicate better with my husband, and I've stopped apologizing for taking up space. I might actually be a completely different person now — in the best way. Since joining, I've said yes to things I never would have before. I lost 60 pounds. And it all started with the confidence I built here. — Jenee
I spent years putting others first — my kids, my mom, my clients. I finally started choosing what I want. I framed my Holistic Witchery certificate and hung it on the wall. I'm no longer hiding the parts of me I used to keep tucked away. Just being fully me — hippie, witchy, moon-loving me — and it feels like freedom. — Tonia
I felt my love for myself — which changed my outlook, which changed how I approached each day, which changed how I interacted with the world. An ever-expanding spiral of love for myself. I am glad I invested in me. — Debbi
Holistic Witchery has given me a growth mindset, a forward-moving momentum, and a clear sense of purpose. I've learned that I can bloom where I'm planted — but only if I water myself with intention and consistent practice. — Kezia A.
My spiritual practice has become stronger. I've learned how to follow the rhythm and cycles of the moon, which has taught me how to recognize the shifts and changes within myself. I now know how to control what I can and leave the rest alone — and use my magic inside at all times. — Eiysha
I struggled with imposter syndrome. I constantly questioned if I was enough and worried about what others thought. I dimmed my light to fit in. Holistic Witchery has empowered me to embrace my authentic self with joy and confidence. I feel so free and happy in my true self — and I will never hide in the shadows again. — Margaret M.

Or CLICK HERE to pay in full at $499, never worry about it again. Before you go Got Questions? We have answers. Honest ones.
DIY: We recommend about 3 hours per week — fewer than 3 Netflix episodes. Every lesson is recorded and available via podcast feed, so you can listen while you walk the dog, fold laundry, or sit in a school pickup line. You are never required to show up live, and you can never fall behind. Be Your Own Priestess: Add one live Monday morning session at 10am ET — 60-90 minutes, recorded if you can't make it. Everything else is the same self-paced material underneath. Either way: this program is specifically designed to help you create time and space in your life. If you're super busy right now, this is an investment in a less busy future. We built it that way on purpose.
Totally fair question. When we say "witch," we mean the power that comes with casting off the safety blanket of normalcy and embracing your most authentic self — through healing, deep connection to the energies of the earth and sky, and the spreading of unconditional love. We are open and affirming to all belief systems. We have women in this community who are Christian, Orthodox Christian, Jewish, Catholic, Pagan, and Wiccan. If you lead with kindness, you belong here — whether or not you ever use the word witch.
On the guru thing: we audited five live teaching transcripts — 55,000 words of Sara actually teaching — and counted every time she reinforced one message: you are the expert in yourself.
✦ we ran the numbers ✦ This Is Not a Place Where Someone Tells You What to Think. 55,000 words across 5 live teaching transcripts. One message, woven into everything. It's not a line she drops once and moves on. It's woven into the fabric of how she teaches.
On the ChatGPT question: you sure can use it. It will pull the average content across the internet and deliver it to you easy peasy. You aren't average, though. And no AI can close the gap the witch wound creates between your inner knowing and your outer action. That's why the DIY includes your own AI Familiar setup and the 5i Coach — tools built on Sara's actual frameworks, not the internet's average understanding of witchcraft. Information can't close the gap. Deciding to stop negotiating with fear and actually live — that's what either track of this program is for. 123 Times Across

123 times in five sessions. Not because it's a script — because it's who Sara is. Your magic, your rules, your way. ☽ DIY students keep lifetime access to everything — all materials, all recordings, all future rounds of the program. Holistic Witchery runs at least once a year, and you're invited back at no additional cost every time. Be Your Own Priestess students get all of the above, plus 2x monthly Legacy Student Calls beginning in October — ongoing, rotating through the curriculum, yours as long as you remain a legacy student. Your Enchanted Journey membership runs for a full year. White-labeled professional tools arrive January 2027. This experience doesn't end when the 12 weeks do.
Choose the DIY if: you're a self-starter who learns well on your own schedule, you're primarily working through lower chakra patterns (self-doubt, people-pleasing, financial stress, self-care), or you want the full program at the most accessible price point. The DIY is complete — nothing is missing. Choose Be Your Own Priestess if: your problems tend to live in the upper energies — self-expression, self-awareness, impact, conviction. If you're already self-aware and what you need is a practice arena to embody that knowing. If you want live accountability, peer cohort energy, and the professional licensing to bring these frameworks into your own work. Not sure? Email us. We'll help you figure out which is the better fit before you commit to either.
We don't offer refunds on our courses and we don't cancel payment plans — for either the DIY or the Be Your Own Priestess experience. So before you sign up, do a gut check. Are you ready and committed? Does this feel like a hell yes? If you're unsure which option is right for you, email us first. We'll help you figure it out. We'd rather you join the right track than the wrong one.
All class materials and recordings live in Teachable — where you can add captions and adjust playback speed. Every video also has a podcast feed so you can take it with you. Workbooks can be printed at home or through a third-party link, but printing is never required. DIY students access everything on their own timeline, in their own order. Be Your Own Priestess students get all of the above plus Monday live sessions on Zoom, community space in Circle for the full 12-week cohort, and access to the Enchanted Journey membership community for 12 months.
Real women. No hype machines. Here's who you'll actually encounter inside Holistic Witchery. Sara Walka Founder · Head Magic Maker ADHD and Life Coach, Executive Function Skills Expert, M.Ed., Certified Teacher, and lifelong intuitive. Sara combines practical life skills with spiritual tools to help witchy women live with intention — and everyday magic that actually works. She won't judge you for your messy house, but she'll definitely judge you for your taste in pizza. 
Anna Tower Coach & Teacher Astrologer, mythology nerd, health and wellness expert, mom of 3, sourdough enthusiast. Anna makes magic relatable, digestible, fun, and easy. She's here to welcome you in and guide you on your own magical adventure. She won't judge you for taking your time, but she'll 100% judge you for not liking smutty fiction. 
Pati Diaz Coach & Teacher Vision board enthusiast, lunar and seasonal cycle expert, fun Aries energy. Pati helps you go from creating your vision board to actually living it — using the 5i Spiral as the bridge. She won't judge you for being your weirdest self, but she'll judge you (just a little) for not liking rock n' roll.
Be Your Own Priestess live sessions run every Monday at 10am ET on Zoom, beginning September 28th. Every session is recorded — missing live is never falling behind. The DIY program has no scheduled live sessions. Everything is self-paced and available on-demand via Teachable and podcast feed from day one. All sessions are recorded and available via podcast feed. You are never required to attend live — and you will never fall behind.

Yes — and we're going to be straight with you about it, because we think you deserve that. We use AI here at TSE as a small business. There's no way we'd be able to stay in business and keep serving this community without it. Big companies are using it. We have to be able to keep up. And honestly? Our witch wound tells us we want a seat at that table — not to be left out of the conversation about something that's going to shape all of our lives, especially women's lives. Here's the part we think about a lot: AI tools are going to displace women's jobs at a disproportionately higher rate than men's. We already make less money. We already have less power. The people largely building and programming these tools are not us. So we have the same reservations you probably do — about the environment, about creatives, about intellectual property, about what gets baked into the systems doing the hiring and the filtering. All of it. And also — burying our heads in the sand isn't the answer either. Well-resourced, tech-literate witchy women are the future. So we're here, eyes open, using it thoughtfully, and teaching you to do the same.
✦ included with your enrollment ✦ Two AI Tools Provided to Be Your Own Priestess Registrants. Not filler. Not gimmicks. Tools built from Sara's actual frameworks and designed to extend the work — with more arriving in January 2027.
AI Familiar Instructions Step-by-step setup guide for building your own AI companion — trained on your birth chart, your Expansion Archetype, and your specific witch wound patterns. Your chart, your voice, your rules.
The 5i Coach — Beta Access An AI coaching companion built entirely on the 5i Expansion Spiral — Sara's framework, Sara's methodology, powered by Delphi. Ask it anything. Work through a stuck moment at 2am. It doesn't replace the live coaching, but it's there when the live coaching isn't. Beta access means you're in early, and your feedback shapes where it goes next.
More Tools — January 2027 White-labeled AI tools for Be Your Own Priestess students to use in their own leadership roles, consultancies, or small businesses — built on Sara's frameworks and releasing January 2027.
If AI use is a dealbreaker for you — that's valid, and we'd rather you know now than be surprised. Sara wrote about TSE's full position on AI on Substack and there's a video on YouTube as well if you want to go deeper.
