Sacred Mechanics

Psychic life, ancient wisdom, and the strange business of starting over.

Part occult deep-dive. Part midlife companion. Entirely unlike anything else in your feed. There is a hidden structure beneath everything…beneath art, history, magic, memory, and the strange business of being alive. Bel explores psychic phenomenon, shamanism, esoteric history, and the hidden patterns governing life, then gets radically honest about what it means to be a woman in the middle of everything, reinventing herself in real time. This show is for the solitary woman building something strange and serious. The one who knows that wisdom gets stranger, richer, and more powerful with age. The one who has been sitting alone at the table, not because she doesn't belong, but because the right table hasn't existed yet. Consider this your table! Recorded between the chaos, the cacao, and the quiet moments she carved out for herself. New episodes weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Substack and anywhere else that lightning strikes.

EP 22: Will He Leave His Wife?
Episode 22 is here — an archive piece, and one I think is overdue for a share. I’ve not published it because I think it is a very sensitive topic, and many may disagree with my ethical position regarding the role of a psychic, so here it goes! Will He Leave His Wife? And Is He Cheating? The two questions I’ve been asked more than any others, by far. I talk through what I’ve actually observed: the men who cheat repeatedly because something in them is never satisfied, versus the ones for whom it simply isn’t in their nature, and why I believe, ethically, a psychic should never tell you outright that your partner is cheating. I also speak directly to the women who’ve fallen in love with someone unavailable — the stolen moments, the invisibility, those birthdays alone, the loneliness of being a secret. It’s hard, and I don’t pretend otherwise. But I also talk about what it means to choose yourself. This one’s filmed from bed, in a full house with six kids between us, because some moments you just have to steal when you can.

EP 21: Seven Things I Learned the Hard Way (So You Don't Have To)
It's early Saturday morning, it's raining, and I'm in bed with my notebooks from the last four or five years — pulling out the best nuggets of genuine wisdom I've gathered across two decades of practice, study, and some very expensive lessons I'd rather you skipped. Seven spiritual coaching gems. Each one could be its own episode. Today you're getting all of them. These aren't in order of importance. They're not trending concepts or repackaged self-help. They're the things I keep coming back to — the ones that actually work, that I wish someone had handed me earlier, and that I'm still finding new layers in every time I return to them. One of them will probably stop you mid-listen. That's the one to write down. No makeup. In bed. Completely worth your time.

EP 20: Words Are Spells & Reality Is Lying To Me
Episode 20 is here, Sacred Mechanics has a new look! Matrix Glitches — Three Stories — Are the glitches getting more frequent, or are we just finally paying attention? I share three recent domestic incidents with no reasonable explanation: a kitchen light that turned itself on mid-thought, a toilet roll that reversed direction in under ten seconds (yes, really), and a $50 Dan Brown hardcover that vanished and reappeared on a shelf I checked four times. My psychic teenage daughter is keeping a running log. So am I. Sappho — The First Confessional — A deep dive into the ancient poet of Lesbos who wrote desire from the inside out and whose voice refused to be deleted across 2,600 years. I trace the thread from Sappho through Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, Audre Lorde, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Hope Sandoval, Lana Del Rey, and Mitski. Words are spells, and spells are hard to break. What does it mean if everything is an illusion and the illusion is starting to show its seams? New moon in Aries. Seven planets stacked. The reinvention is official. Share your own glitch stories in the comments — I genuinely want to hear them. Find me at sacredmechanics.com — on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Substack. This is a public episode.

EP 19: I Recorded This From My Car, My Boyfriend Is an Atheist & The Crow Is Me
Here we are again — a day or two out from a new moon, and Bel is in her car on the way to uni, microphone clipped on, thoughts absolutely everywhere. This is Sacred Mechanics at its most unfiltered. In this episode Bel covers an alarming amount of ground, including: The Da Vinci Code Defence — Bel is deep in Renaissance art history at university and has feelings about the Last Supper, the Medici family, and the figure that is definitely not John sitting beside Christ. She knows this may be career limiting. She’s saying it anyway. The Atheist Boyfriend — Six years in, and Bel is still in a relationship with a man who thinks you die and then there’s nothing. How does that actually work? What happens when a shamanka and a full atheist love each other? And should she put him on the podcast? Signs, Proof & the Angel at the End of the Bed — Bel reflects on the people who need supernatural confirmation to stay on the path (her), and the people who simply trust without evidence (also impressive, also not her). Plus a medieval monk whose Eucharist started bleeding, and why that actually makes her feel better about herself. Your Energy Is Not a Shared Resource — On source energy, energy shields, and the sparkly imaginary cape Bel gives her clients before they walk into crowded rooms. Practical, strange, and genuinely useful. 54, First Year, Only Adult in the Room — On being the oldest person in your university cohort, giving phone advice from the kitchen at age sixteen, becoming an old tree, and why it is absolutely not too late to start everything again. The Five & The Crow — Bel’s guides are called The Five (yes, like a boy band) and last week they told her: you are the crow and the crow is you. She’s still thinking about it. New moon in Aries. New beginnings. Record from your car if you have to. Find Bel at sacredmechanics.com Available for readings, remote energy healing, and written sessions via email. This is a public episode.

EP 18: Midlife, magic and losing the plot!
New year edit: spiritual overwhelm, reinvention at 50+, and the voice of the higher self A candid “New Year edit” from Bel Bare — on slow awakening, reinvention in midlife, manifestation without the hype, and the quiet power of meeting your higher self. Bel shares real-world spiritual perspective (without the pressure to be “on” all the time), why rock-bottom can be a reset point, and how the higher self can become a compass for clarity, courage, and direction. In this unscripted episode of Sacred Mechanics®, Bel records from her book-filled seaside space and speaks candidly about what it feels like to move through a slow, real-world awakening, the kind that doesn’t arrive with fireworks, but changes you over time. Bel offers reassurance for anyone feeling behind, confused, or spiritually “not attuned enough.” She explores the tension between spiritual curiosity and everyday life (rent, kids, work, fatigue), and why the path is about integration more than major revelation. There’s also a deeply personal thread: reinvention in midlife, the hunger for education, and the quiet moment of proof that you’re not who you thought you were. She then turns to manifestation — without the glossy internet fantasy. Instead of chasing impossible outcomes, Bel reframes manifesting as a practical, playful discipline: noticing what you’ve already created, learning through small wins, and using “rock bottom” moments as a pivot point for rebuilding a life that actually fits. The episode closes with one of Bel’s most moving topics: the higher self. Drawing from recent readings, she describes how the higher self can feel like a real presence — a loving, intelligent “you” unencumbered by old stories — and how learning to meet that aspect of yourself can become a compass in times of isolation, indecision, or reset. Key themes • Slow awakening and why “not feeling it” doesn’t mean you’re failing • Balancing spiritual practice with real life (without obsession) • Reinvention in your 50s: identity, purpose, and starting again • The “elite” manifesting trap vs practical manifestation • Rock-bottom as a spiritual reset point (the resurrection arc) • The higher self: permission, guidance, and learning its “personality” • Building a cleaner, more intentional online life To learn more about Bel, or book a session with her, please viist www.sacredmechanics.com Fauun books: www.fauun.com #SacredMechanicsPodcast #BelBare #SpiritualAwakening #HigherSelf #Manifestation #MidlifeReset #SpiritualMentoring #EnergyHealing #Clairvoyant #Intuition #CreativeConsciousness #InnerWork #SoulPath #Substack This is a public episode.

Podcast EP 17 Solstice Threshold — On Minimalism, Attention & the Timelines You're Still Writing
In this unscripted solo “solstice journal,” I reflect on the New Moon and the December Solstice as a practical gateway: a moment to shed old skin, reclaim attention, and choose your own timeline in a noisy world. I share thoughts on spiritual practice, minimalist living, unplugging from the attention economy and staying grounded while the collective feels intense. The episode also includes an update on Fauun Books and my love of old spiritual texts, including upcoming titles like The Blue Island and The Astral Plane. (visit www.fauun.com) What’s mentioned • Sagittarius New Moon + Solstice (summer in Australia / winter in the North) • Choosing your “timeline” and guarding attention (“thoughts are things”) • Minimalism, decluttering, investing in experiences over things • Consumerism and Christmas (solstice vs capitalism) • Digital sovereignty: email privacy, dumb phone, reducing social media scrolling • Fauun Books (public-domain spiritual texts redesigned for modern reading): The Blue Island by W.T. Stead (afterlife/spiritualism) and The Astral Plane by C.W. Leadbeater (Theosophy/astral realm) Here’s some of my fave Youtube channels for Astrology (currently): https://www.youtube.com/@PamGregoryOfficial https://www.youtube.com/@madronaspulse https://www.youtube.com/@astrologydome https://www.youtube.com/@mysticwitchtarot https://www.youtube.com/@SteveJuddAstrology This is a public episode.

EP 15: Seven Secrets of the Unseen World
A new episode of Sacred Mechanics® podcast is live — and this one opens a door into the hidden architecture of the world around you. We’re exploring thought forms, egregores, and the unseen mechanics that influence your emotions, your choices, and the energetic tides you live within every day. This is a short but powerful dive into the seven core truths about the unseen world — why your thoughts have weight, how groups create living fields of energy, and how you can consciously reshape the patterns that shape you. 💬 Episode Snapshot In this episode, I reveal how thought forms are created, how egregores are born through group identity and repetition, and why your inner landscape is far more generative and powerful than you realise. We look at the psychic residue of thoughts, the emotional imprint of fear and desire, and the ways families, fandoms, religions, brands and even nations create energetic structures that feel “alive” because we feed them. Most importantly, I share how to rewire the unseen fields you live within — dissolving inherited stories, withdrawing from draining egregores, and building new ones that support your growth, peace, and purpose. 🔍 What’s mentioned • Thought forms• Egregores & collective psychic fields• Hermetic and Theosophical views on mind• Energetic cords & emotional residue• Shamanic interpretations of thought and power• Family identities, fandoms & modern brand egregores• Conscious magic vs unconscious magic• The mechanics of manifestation I’d truly love to hear what this one stirs in you — reply anytime or share your reflections on Substack or YouTube.

EP 14: Is Seeing Beyond the Veil Worth Your Sanity? On Opening the Mediumship Door Again
In this episode I reflect on the raw, complex reality of being a medium. I share stories from my early days as a clairvoyant and healer, when spirits appeared everywhere I went, and the hard lessons that came with learning to “turn down” the gift for my own protection and sanity. From confronting encounters to moments of deep compassion, I explore what it really means to live between two worlds, how psychic sensitivity can sometimes overwhelm even the seasoned practitioner, and whether I’m ready to open that door again. Join me on Substack for community chat, guided meditations, bonus podcast recordings, and a monthly online gathering for listeners of Sacred Mechanics. This episode touches on: The difference between psychics, mediums, and spirit workers What it feels like when mediumship is “always on” Learning to set energetic boundaries for safety and sanity The emotional impact of seeing spirits—and knowing when to switch off Why the purpose of mediumship is healing, not entertainment Bel’s contemplation of re-opening her full mediumship gifts I also share upcoming episode themes, including the magic of salt and thought forms (egregores)—two deep dives into ancient metaphysical wisdom.

EP11: Are You Two Different Women? The Ancient Myth That Explains Midlife ... Well, Mine Atleast!
Bel Bare explores the mythic and spiritual meaning of the Chimera, from Greek legend to Hermetic alchemy and shamanic dual-soul traditions, revealing what it means to hold two souls in one body. What if the soul isn’t singular, but plural? Let's explore the mythic and metaphysical meaning of the Chimera — the hybrid creature that mirrors the complexity of the human soul. Drawing from Greek mythology, tarot, Norse lore, alchemy, shamanism, and Hermetic philosophy, Bel traces how ancient and esoteric traditions understood duality — the coexistence of instinct and insight, shadow and spirit, chaos and creation. She examines mystical ideas such as anima duplex (the double soul), the shamanic belief in twin spirits, and modern metaphysical notions of walk-ins and energetic overlays. Through reflection and storytelling, Bel reveals how the Chimera symbolizes inner integration rather than fragmentation — an image of how we can reconcile the many selves within. The Chimera, perhaps, was never a monster to slay but a mirror to understand. Visit www.sacredmechanics.com The Eternal News can be explored at www.fauun.com 🕯️ Key Themes The mythic origin of the Chimera in Greek cosmology Symbolic meaning of the lion, goat, and serpent in tarot, Norse, and alchemical contexts The Hermetic concept of anima duplex (the double soul) Shamanic and Celtic beliefs in dual or traveling souls Modern metaphysical ideas like walk-ins and consciousness overlays The Chimera as a mirror of the psyche — instinct, shadow, and higher self Integration, polarity, and the art of spiritual unfoldment 📚 References Mentioned The Iliad — Homer Mysterium Coniunctionis — C.G.

EP10: When Your Soul Wakes Up in a Boardroom — Would You Leave the Corporate Maze Behind?
When your soul wakes up in a boardroom. This new episode of Sacred Mechanics explores what happens when spiritual awakening begins inside the corporate maze — when visions, intuition and energy shifts start colliding with meetings and deadlines. A reflection on staying grounded, purposeful, and quietly luminous while walking between worlds. What happens when your spiritual awakening collides with your career? In this episode, Bel shares her own experiences of navigating visions, intuition, and profound shifts in awareness — all while sitting in a boardroom meeting. This is a conversation for those balancing the demands of modern work with the inner call of the soul, exploring how awakening can transform not just your life, but your workplace itself. Imagine being in a meeting about tax and financials when you suddenly sense energy moving around you, or even glimpse the spirit of someone’s departed loved one. For many people experiencing spiritual awakening, the extraordinary begins to seep into the ordinary. In this episode, Bel reflects on what it’s like to juggle professional ambition, family life, and spiritual expansion all at once. She explores: Recognizing early signs of awakening — heightened sensitivity, intuitive downloads, synchronicities. The challenge of keeping up appearances when your inner world is transforming. Ego deaths and the sense of loss around old ambitions. Using your workplace as a sacred training ground for compassion and energetic awareness. Integrating spirituality with corporate life without needing to “run away” or quit everything. Practical grounding and protection tools for sensitives in high-pressure environments. The art of staying authentic but discreet — being a “quiet lightworker” in the system. How energy management, breathwork, and boundaries sustain you through the awakening process. The importance of staying embodied — no bypassing, no suppression — just genuine evolution. Reframing your career as part of your soul’s larger journey. Why lightworkers often awaken within systems so they can help transform them. Learning to walk between worlds — serving your soul and your community at once. Bel also shares resources for anyone moving through this experience, including a short guided meditation “Creating in the Void” available on the podcast feed. Mentioned in this episode: Sacred Mechanics 10-Day Self-Paced Course 'Begin Again' : a gentle, practical introduction to grounding, energy protection, and awakening tools. Only $44!

EP4: Still on the Fence? How I Stopped Pretending I Wasn't a Shamanka
In this intimate early morning episode recorded by candlelight at 5 AM, host Bel Bare reflects on the nature of spirituality, the human tendency to create structures around spiritual experiences, and her own diverse spiritual journey spanning decades. Bel explores how growing her Sacred Mechanics business has prompted her to consider the challenges of putting form around spiritual processes, much like trying to structure creativity itself. Bel shares her progression from childhood spiritual experiences through Catholic education, Buddhism, New Age practices, witchcraft, and eventually to her current shamanic practice. She discusses how spiritual understanding deepens and transforms over time, noting that "to spirit, it's one formless, infinite breathing, living movement that's universal." Bel explains that shamanism emerged as a framework that honors human connection to all things, describing it as "a structure that helps humans understand so many facets of our capacity as spiritual beings." Throughout the episode, she contemplates the limitations of labels and modalities in capturing the formless nature of spirituality, suggesting that an eclectic approach might be a superpower for those whose spiritual explorations don't fit neatly into established categories. "If you find yourself on this journey and you're not sure what to hold on to or learn because you're all over the place and your listening and learning habits are really eclectic. Maybe eclectic is your superpower."

EP3: Writing as Spell: Novel, Shamanic Journey & Creative Awakening
What if a novel could function like a spell or a shamanic journey? In this evocative episode, Australian author, artist, and spiritual mentor (and host of Sacred Mechanics podcast) Bel Bare, unpacks the spiritual layers woven through her literary debut, Breaking the Girl. Set against the haunting backdrop of coastal Australia in the early ’90s, this coming-of-age novel pulses with hidden symbolism, emotional truths, and metaphysical clues for those willing to look deeper. Join Bel as she explores: 🔮 The archetype of the orphaned heroine as a soul on the brink of awakening 🌊 The forbidden house as a metaphor for the fractured psyche 🌀 Grief as a portal to spiritual transformation 🌬️ The storm as a necessary force of destruction and rebirth 🕯️ Mysterious characters (like Nebraska) who serve as psychopomps or spirit guides 🌊 Surf culture as a living embodiment of the wild, the liminal, and the sublime Part fairy tale, part psychic descent, part Surf-Gothic dream—Breaking the Girl invites readers to walk between worlds and reimagine fiction as a sacred rite. If you’re drawn to witchcraft, folklore, creative consciousness, soul journeys, or coastal mysticism, this conversation is your invitation to read between the lines. 🖤 Listen now and ask yourself: Is this novel just a story… or a spell for remembering who you really are?
