In this conversation, Britten LaRue is joined by multidisciplinary esoteric practitioner Leanne Thurogood for a deep, land-rooted exploration of ancestry, magic, and what happens when we say yes to a call we don't fully understand yet. Leanne shares the story of being pulled into The Magician's Table through literal and energetic portals, her pilgrimage back to Scotland, and the emergence of the Three Cauldrons as a sovereign, ancestral energy practice. Together, they reflect on lineage, fear, vulnerability, and the kind of magic that asks us to trust before it gives us a plan.

Topics They Cover:

• How land, etymology, and ancestry quietly shape our magical identities

• What it means to feel the call of The Magician's Table, resist it, circle it, and eventually step through a doorway that makes change inevitable

• The Cailleach as land, elemental force, and bone mother: cycles of death and rebirth, mythic memory, and remembering what the land already knows

• Letting go of pre-planned offerings and trusted tools in order to birth something new, unknown, and guided

• The Three Cauldrons as a Celtic cosmology of sovereign energy management rooted in sea, land, and sky

• Community as an amplifier of magic: how witnessing, reflection, and shared vulnerability turn peers into kin and create lasting webs of connection

This is rare. This matters. This is the moment.

You are invited to join us for The Dream Real: a global spell for personal and collective dream-realizing.

We're doing BIG MAGIC. It'll be wild, and weird, and effective.
