Blood Moon Radio host Coraley Letcher is joined by dancer, choreographer, author, and educator Alexandra Beller for this two-part conversation exploring creativity, embodiment, meaning-making, and the intelligence of the body.

Alexandra’s work lives at the intersection of movement, creative expression, and somatic awareness. Her upcoming book, The Anatomy of Art: Unlocking the Creative Process for Theatre and Dance — now available for preorder — expands on her years of teaching artists how to cultivate deeper awareness, trust themselves creatively, and reconnect with the why beneath their work. As the final special guest episode of Season One: The Empress Rising, this conversation beautifully embodies the archetype through themes of creativity, nurturing, sensuality, self-awareness, connection, and the power of embodied expression.

This episode touches on:

✧ Modern Motherhood

✧ Finding Spirituality in Process, Place, and Self

✧ Embodied Awareness

✧ Systemic Harm

✧ Art as Connection

✧ Creativity as Meaning-Making

Somatic practitioner, psychedelic guide, and witch Leslie Draffin joins Coraley Letcher for a deeply grounded conversation on self-sovereignty, embodiment, and what it means to live in right relationship—with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

In this episode of Blood Moon Radio, we explore the connection between body awareness and healing, the role of the nervous system in reclaiming your voice, and how personal transformation intersects with the current social and political climate. Speaking from Texas, Leslie shares her perspective on what it means to stay present, aware, and engaged during times of uncertainty.

This conversation moves through somatic healing, trauma, advocacy, animism, and the belief that nothing is separate, and that awareness itself can be a form of medicine.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure where your voice fits in, this episode offers a grounded and expansive place to begin again.

Show Highlights:

• Somatic healing and nervous system regulation
• Self-sovereignty and embodiment
• Psychedelic integration and personal transformation
• Reclaiming your voice and advocacy
• Living in right relationship (animism & interconnectedness)
• Navigating uncertainty and staying present

Episode two of Blood Moon Radio's three-part mini-series on Canadian witchcraft examines what shaped witchcraft in the aftermath of the witch trials of New France. Rather than disappear, witchcraft went domestic, as it did in other countries where the old ways were forced to hide in plain site. Over time, as attitudes toward non-christian ways of thinking softened, the craft began to weave itself into the mainstream again, with some distinctly Canadian practices, such as Odyssian Wicca, emerging. Canada is also the home of the first Canadian church of witchcraft, The Wiccan Church of Canada, which helped to further push pagan practices out of the realm of hidden familial or cultural belief into accepted, publicly digestible, spiritual systems.

In this episode:

✧ Domestic practice

✧ Odyssian Wicca

✧ The Wiccan Church of Canada

✧ Politics and witchcraft

✧ Syncretic practice

Modern magic is in part shaped by this historical period where magical work and belief needed to function invisibly and we owe our practices and knowledge now to the labour of those who kept their knowledge alive, but hidden.
