Bonfire Babble Podcast

We are talking about flora and their magical abilities. These have some wicked and wonderful talent y'all. And not just from the Northern Hemisphere but we are going down South!

No - really south -Africa and...

Well, give it a listen!

Preview: Corey mentions the flora she is doing next time we hit the Flora as part of our new Series, Elements of Ritual. AND I will be doing a flower from Oceana ( Australia specifically)  called Kangaroo Paw!

BUT that is next time! I am getting ahead of myself. We hope you enjoy this and find some uses for these familiar and not-so-familiar plants. If you do end up using them, please make sure you are honoring the cultures from which they are found, and ethically sourced!

We are no longer on Privatized Feathers. Chirp, Chirp.

Corey and I recorded this episode before the horrific events in Buffalo, and before the 19 Children and Two teachers - mostly Latinx- Killed May 24th at Robb Elementary. I have worked for change since I was 12 years old when I had my first argument with my dad about my very First Black Teacher - whom I adored. When dad found out he was black , he refused to let me talk about him. Then my brother came out of the closet. Oof. Then, shortly after, my dad died  of a heart attack before I turned 13. It was sadly, and luckily, the best thing for our family. That is the only way we escaped his White Supremacy. Is that the only way we escape now? When they all die? We shouldn’t have to wait. Things must change.  I am tired. I know you all are too.  I hope you find some comfort today. And may we find solutions and peace in our dreams. May we manifest change, and a non- Fascist society. Let it happen fast- when we wake up. Wishing all of you safety - Detta.

This episode is about Gardening, NightVale, Blood Mead, and How Hungry Corey is by the end of this episode.

Oh, wait no - We are talking about ORACLE CARDS!

What are they? How are they Different from Tarot? How do Detta and Corey use them?

We don't mention her on the podcast because we recorded it on May 2nd.

That is right - perhaps one of the youngest astrologers you have ever heard, Baby Cawnawyn ( yes, he has a name but not public...)  does indeed share his thoughts toward the end of the episode. His Cooing comments are seriously, at the exact right moments! He is being trained by a fabulous mom and astrologer, so we were not really surprised!

This season is JAMMED. There is so much going on in the planets you all!

So listen for our second guest, while you soak in the Star Knowledge that Cawynayn is sprinkeling!

Content Advisory

Welcome to our 2022 Beltane episode. A tiny content advisory. There are a lot of different ways to celebrate Beltane, and the theme of fertility, abundance, and the beginning of Summer for many of us ( and fall for the Southern Hemisphere. The main traditional theme, however, is a holy union between the Divine Masculine, and Feminine.  Aka Divine Sex or as I like to call it – Sacred Sex. Corey and I have chosen to focus for a portion of the show on Sacred Sex and how Queer and Ace humans can celebrate or not – and how to embrace the spectrum of Divine Masculine and Feminine in your own life. No matter who you are. We have provided some skippers if you know all that or are queer This may or may not be appropriate for small ears. We are sex-positive and take this seriously, Although sometimes we joke like 12 year old, most of our talk is pretty serious and we dip our toe into some instructions on sacred sex spell work. There is a program with timestamps in the show notes if you want to skip anything!

With that said – We are really excited to share this episode with you so - let us get started!
