It's part two, baby! We review a couple resources and talk about what we can do with storm energy and its the weather phenomenon that make up a storm: rain, lightning, thunder, hail, and wind. We scratch the surface a bit with some Southern folklore (The Devil's doing what, you say?). Don't forget to check out part one to catch some sage wisdom from the elders on predicting storms and working with storm energy as a whole! Follow backporchspiritual on Instagram and give us a holler at [email protected]. Stay blessed, y'all!

You're home alone and notice that the sky has turned dark, massive clouds are rolling in and blocking out the sunlight. Then you hear it, the creeping roll of thunder followed by the splitting CRACK! of lightning. It's terrifying but there's a shiver of excitement you can't stifle. That's storm energy, baby, and that's what we're talking about! Part One covers some sage wisdom from Southern elders on predicting storms, energy associated with the various "ingredients" in a storm, and we start to get into how you can actually use that energy!

Anyone else curious about all the different spellings? Is there a difference and does it even matter? Let's talk about it! Keep listening for important announcements! 

Nothing matters! Except, it does. Arbitrary classifications handed down to us by the people who came before us. Strip them away and a person's character is all that's left. This week, we're talking about why, and how. Lésha, one of my best friends and a certified counselor, joins us as we talk about symbolism, identity, power, race, and spirituality. It's a lot to unpack! 

OK, here we go! Part 4 of 4 in our energy basics series! It's a lot more simple than you think, boo. But there's so much more to consider before doing it. 

As everyday folks and as anyone who does any kind of spiritual work, what kinds of protections do we need? What happens when you don’t have them?
