This episode, Shannon and Laura speak with Nina Mielipäivä, a Sami heritage holder and author of Mythology of the Sámi - Minorities Within Minorities, to explore what Sámi culture means today and why reclaiming stories matters.
Together, they unpack what the word “witch” can mean in Indigenous and marginalized contexts and what drew Nina to write a book centered on minority voices within minority communities. The episode offers a clear, accessible introduction to who the Sámi are, their history, and the nuanced ways identity and sovereignty unfold across communities.
The discussion dives into how the Arctic landscape shapes Sámi spirituality, myth, and storytelling, reflections on deities, the animal world, and sacred beings. They explore shamanic practices and drum traditions with care, underscoring the respect and responsibility required when approaching these traditions in modern spaces.
Tying it together with a note of hope, the conversation turns to language revival, cultural reclamation, and the resilience that sustains Sámi culture. If you’re curious about Indigenous spirituality and minority histories, this episode invites you to listen with curiosity, care, and a sense of shared wonder.

Shannon and Laura have a friendly, flowing chat about intuition, the unseen, and those moments that nudge us through life. We’re swapping questions for conversation, stepping into spiritual perspectives together, and inviting you to listen in on a warm, surprising, and wonderfully human exchange.

Join Shannon and Laura for a special, intimate dive into Shannon’s very own journey of embodiment, creativity and business - Asha Moon Sacred Arts.  Shannon is a potter, intuitive handpoke artist, spirit channel, witch & healer.
Shannon shares how her practice blending clay, photography, energy work and ritual has evolved over this years as she has grown as a mother, woman, leader and witch.
From motherhood at the tender age of 21, forging a booming portrait and wedding photography business, award winning conceptual fine art prints, to leadership and healing through facilitating Sister Circles. We also speak about the creation of divination tools, The Sacred Stones and the Of Earth & Ether Oracle deck.
Shannon offers 1:1 energy sessions, Sister Circle events, workshops, and co-hosts our very own Turns Out She’s a Witch Podcast. We also discusses her most recent offering: traditional handpoke tattoos, these markings are bespoke, carry deep significance and can be incorporated into a deeper space of ceremony.
Shannon fosters a space for healing and transformation, guiding each person towards deeper connections to themselves, the Earth & Spirit...
We hope you enjoy this chat!

Turns Out She's a Witch welcomes Cass Campbell, musician and sound journey artist, and founder of Music for the MindTM. In this episode we delve into Cass’s early love of music, working as a detective, and the winding path that brought her to founding Music for the MindTM, a journey where sound becomes a compass...
We look at how sound and rhythm can shape wellbeing, and forge a sense of togetherness within groups - the subtle dynamics that emerge when people gather to listen and play as one.
We delve into both the science and the lived experience of healing with sound and frequency, sharing how auditory patterns can nudge the body towards equilibrium and move the spirit. The conversation turns to breath, voice, chanting and drum rhythms, and their tangible effects on the body - in particular the vagus nerve.
We consider tempo’s powerful grip on mood and its unexpected roles in cinema and ritual, unpacking how pace can tilt perception and emotion in surprising ways. And through it all, Cass offers glimpses of her creative vision: a favourite quote that speaks to her, a Divine Tool of the Week that listeners can try, and a look ahead at the projects she’s weaving for the near future!
