  • 180 - Weird and Wonderful Ancestor Alchemy Tales & Tips

    It's the best time of the year to make contact with the dead and reach out to your ancestors, at least in the Northern hemisphere. The veil is thinner and contact is easier. I've been working with my ancestors for about six years now and it has enriched my life in enumerable ways. One of those ways is that is continues to bring magical synchronicities and stories.

    Your experiment for this week's podcast:

    1. Set up a simple ancestor altar
    2. Connect with your ancestors in whatever way feels best to you
    3. Do a method of healing the ancestor's you want to focus on connecting with
    4. Look out for synchronicities and shifts in your matrix.

    More explanation in the podcast.

  • 178 - The Archetype of the Witch (and why I embrace it)

    My thoughts on the archetype of the witch and why I'm so attracted to it. What the word witch means to me,

    https://www.amazon.com/shop/michelledobbins?listId=K3U3D7Z1KKAF

    Your experiment for this week's podcast:

    Your experiment:

    1. research archetypes and find one or two that resonates with you
    2. Meditate on the energy of the archetype a few minutes a day for at least a week
    3. Find and carry a touchstone for the archetype to remind you to tune into that energy as you go through your day. It could be a small pentacle for the witch archetype. It could be a small paintbrush for the artist. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it holds meaning for you.
