  • Creeping Fears and Gnawing Worries

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 3


    Sondra’s cold sore saga continues with the great purging; she’s working with shame to reconnect all the pieces of herself she’s pushed so far away. Alysia’s publishing endeavours are approved by the universe! Though home life is rocky and her spirit is restless. They’re both being visited by the spectres of who they used to be.

    Garion’s feeling jealous of Mandorallen’s new closeness to Ce’Nedra. He’s pent up with unfamiliar emotions and wondering if Maragor is really all that dangerous. After running into Brill, who seems to be ordering a bunch of Murgos around, he’s surprised at Silk’s reaction. What is the mistake his friend seems so worried about?

  • Napping Inside The Maze

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 2


    Sondra’s drinking sugar plum mead and telling wedding tales. Alysia could be a secret ninja with mad knife skills, and shares some past life memories. They’re both not feeling at all guilty about taking naps.

    Ce’Nedra is nosing out all the deets about Garion and his power potential, but is not at all interested in him. Mandorallen performs a mighty feat to save her life and she claims him as HER knight.

  • Flashing While Healing The Planet

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 1

    Sondra’s warming up and loving the light, feeling herself breathing with the earth while at the same time sensing a grander kind of love. Alysia is feeling heavy, lamenting the loss of her evening glass of wine, in the depths of quarantine with children. They’re both enjoying the nasal sensations of Spring.

    Ce’Nedra is contemplating the strange crowd of serious people she’s fallen in with but mostly irritated by her attraction to Garion, whom she overhears having a comforting and necessary mentoring session with Belgarath about the dry voice in his mind.

  • Artistic Comfort For A World Cracked

    Magician’s Gambit, Prologue


    Sondra’s cup wants filling. Her external focus needs to be brought inside to the still point where her real power is. Alysia is enjoying her wine for celebration and a bit of crap-what-a-day. She’s sworn off coaching—AGAIN! And she’s reaping the synchronistic rewards of that decision. They’re both doing what they can to reflect the light of love out into the world by entering into some serious self-care.

    The Younger Gods have spun the world out of nothingness without the help of the Spirit Ul. He spends a few years being beseeched beyond His resistance by Gorim, eventually winding up as God of Gorim’s people and the monsters who are beautiful beyond their own imperfections. Torak cracks the world and turns the Earth and her monsters mad. (Art reflecting life in 2020 from the past?)

  • Is Your Sword Sharp Enough?

    Queen of Sorcery, Chapter 30


    Sondra’s being conscious about keeping her cup full, what with many extended therapy and counselling sessions, a dentist appointment, and the probable postponement of her wedding party due to the Netherlands being a hotspot for COVID-19. Alysia’s making little connections in business that are actually huge, and clinging to sanity and red wine around school closures (and The Conversation). They’re both seeing the positives in the current state of world affairs.

    Garion washes Nyissa off his person and sheds his brief blush-inducing loincloth. He’s still a virgin, still refusing Aunt Pol’s guidance, and can’t celebrate Barak’s new son’s existence because beer and Nyissan drugs, which are still in his system, are not a pleasant cocktail. Ce’Nedra kisses him and gets coy, then hates him and runs away from his declaration that Salmissra is the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. So, he’s still clueless also. He needs Belgarath! Good thing his hand and medallion fit perfectly to guide the old man back to them.

    This episode is brought to you by Alysia’s Internal Journey of a Writer Facebook Group. Are you writing? Do you love fiction? Are you ready to heal? Go and check out her amazing and supportive space.

  • Quivering Flesh and Transformation

    Queen of Sorcery, Chapter 29

    Sondra’s very floaty, can’t sleep, and doesn’t know when she’s awake or dreaming (perhaps not the best timing to take on new freelance work; Alysia’s resting as much as a mother can in a houseful of sickies, and learning how not to give a fuck on social media; and they both know what it feels like to roar in defense of their child.

    Garion goes out of body with the dry voice to find Polgara and Barak the bear in the midst of terrible carnage, has his first God experience with Issa, blazes with blood-boiling power and a will that is death-defying, and finally sees Salmissra morph into a crowned serpent.

    This episode is brought to you by Sondra’s Blog. Go and explore what her words spark inside you. You’ll find jarring and poetic graphics (feel free to share!) There’s also a podcast series, Your Kind Voice where she reads the articles to you in that lovely creamy voice of hers.

  • Altered States of Beauty

    Queen of Sorcery, Chapter 28


    Sondra’s feeling a cold snap on all levels and trying to drop down through her frozen, choppy ocean to the deep peace of what lies beneath, and also enjoying oxycodone reminiscences; Alysia’s feeling at home inside herself with the peace of not being controlled by others’ opinions after a blissful group meditation experience—she’s quiet, but not passive; and they’re both speaking spells to stop their cycles of spinning.

    Garion is enjoying the exquisite beauty of his drug-addled observations, and can’t remember why being naked in front of a group of women should bother him, even though they’re putting their hands all over him. The dry voice is back and clearer than ever.

    This episode is brought to you by Alysia’s Instagram feed. Go over and follow @_alysiaseymour for awakening insights and beautiful vulnerability.

  • Unspeakable Delights

    Queen of Sorcery, Chapter 27

    Sondra’s enjoying a brief snowy stillness and Yin Yoga yumminess; Alysia’s forgiving the world and recognising patterns that keep repeating in her life; and they’re both already doing the things they want to know how to do.


    Garion regains consciousness in the dank hallways of Salmissra’s palace where there are snakes everywhere, including wrapped around him! He’s dosed with more drugs and spills all the company’s secrets, is both revolted and attracted by the almost naked Salmissra, who selects him as her new consort sending her newly dismissed consort into a murderous rage.

    This episode is brought to you by Sondra’s guided meditation, Dust and Starlight.

  • Victims of a Herbalist
    Queen of Sorcery, Chapter 26

    This episode is brought to you by Alysia’s novel, The Raven Dreams.

    Sondra’s processing traumatic dental dreadfulness and considering cannabis solutions; Alysia’s scrambled and spiritually dislocated, spiraling around what’s the point of it all; and they’re both eyeballing the ways they seek permission to move ahead with what they want, and exploring the spiritual practise of personal accountability.

    Garion is a mask of indignant exhaustion and finds relief from his self-loathing through a shouting session with Ce’Nedra, which clears his mind to the reality of owing Aunt Pol an apology—right before his mind is drugged into unconsciousness by a strong and silent attacker.
