- Breastfeeding and SlimeQueen of Sorcery, Chapter 25
This episode is brought to you by Goddess Kindled Universe’s Facebook page. Check out Sondra’s new series of videos, where she’s talking about the bitch in your mind and how to get past her to find peace. The Bitch in Your Head is the newest vid.
In today's episode...
Sondra’s magical life is scattered with ruined castles and full moons, and it’s making her SO happy (apart from having an insanely itchy boob and being so Libran it’s ridiculous); Alysia’s been forest bathing in the refined air and energy of the mountains, and her increasingly independent daughter has brought home some delicious camp secrets; and they’re both learning to give and take more openly.Garion is hot and bothered by the scantily clad Ce’Nedra, besides being generally irritable in the sweltering weather of Nyissa. He saves a slave by a blast of uncontrolled magic which is followed by the man’s immediate, gruesome death, which is followed by a similarly spectacular outburst of uncontrolled anger at Aunt Pol, who gives better than she gets.
Stick around for "Prophecy Speaks", the segment of the show where real magic is on display and you are invited to join in. Share your own piece of prophecy with the secret episode #hashtag.

Queen of Sorcery, Chapter 24
This episode is brought to you by Alysia’s masterclass, Internal Journey of a Writer.Sondra’s been back at the dentist and wondering if what happened there now qualifies her to claim she’s had a fractured jaw; Alysia’s in a deep spiritual cleanse following on from a dark emptying out, feeling the contractions of birthing her new sense of Self; and they’re both feeling the physicality of spiritual work.Garion is being stubborn about learning to use his powers, finds the use of elaborate makeup by Nyissan men distasteful, but that doesn’t impede his curiosity about the undressed state of a Nyissan woman they encounter.Stick around for "Prophecy Speaks", the segment of the show where real magic is on display and you are invited to join in.

This episode is brought to you by Sondra’s guided meditation, Rainforest Breath.
Where Sondra’s crushing on her new dentist and giving herself time to heal; Alysia’s reaching out to tell people about what she does and how she can teach them to be more of themselves—generally feeling her power as a leader. And they’re both connecting to a larger world, Jedi-style and bemoaning the cancellation of The OA. (This is the trailer for the story they never brought to life. What a waste of wonder.)Garion is mired in his horror of having killed Chamdar and feels like a monster, endures the guidance of his family for his first shave, and accepts Ce’Nedra’s offer to teach him to read but perhaps not write, just yet.Disclaimer!Sondra names Greldig in error at 25:33, and later on totally forgets that Silk is not actually on the ship and therefore cannot actually contribute his usual wit to the shaving shenanigans.Stick around for "Prophecy Speaks", the segment of the show where real magic is on display and you are invited to join in.

Book 2 Queen of Sorcery | Chapter 22
This episode is brought to you by Alysia’s novel, The Wonder Soul.Where Sondra’s seeking lubrication for meditative vocal modulation, getting lovely and ranty about the patriarchy (it’s been a while), and freaking out about the correct order of things; Alysia’s shifting from indecisive selfishness based in fear, but really how could she be any other way than as she is—magnificent? And they’re both contemplating the aspects of motherhood, and fangirling on Witcher and fantasy tropes in general.Garion is mournful about Belgarath and Silk separating from the group. He senses danger coming right before he faces his shadow, unleashing the power of Belgarion, in flame, and ending on his knees beneath the ultimate weight of vengeance.Stick around for "Prophecy Speaks", the segment of the show where real magic is on display and you are invited to join in.
