Angie talks Samhain, letting go, emotional support corpses and pulls some tarot cards for the dark season of Samhain to Yule.

She talks about this piece by Marybeth Bonfiglio called 41 Ways to Make Love to Yourself: https://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/12/41-ways-to-make-love-to-yourself-marybeth-bonfiglio/

Angie and Kyra talk about gender and gender fluidity, nonbinary archetypes and the idea of gender in Tarot. We go off topic, explore tangents, laugh—you know, our usual fare. This episode is very rich with conversations about Greek Mythology and fairy tales. 

This has to be one of my favorite conversations I have recorded. The hour plus went by in a snap. As always, I hope you enjoy this episode. We love hearing feedback about these conversations and what you want to hear more of and less of.

Send feedback and any questions, comments and insights to [email protected] 

Listen as Angie answers questions about Reiki (like what the heck is it?), being a wounded healer and Tarot. Tarot vs. Oracle. Not exactly Monkey vs. Robot level fight, but we still enjoy talking about the differences and likenesses.

Great blogpost about Sunflower Medicine from the Sacred Gardener:

https://thesacredgardener.ca/chickadee-teachings-and-sunflower-medicine/ 

Quoting from this blogpost by Steven Martyn:

"We can also bring Sunflower’s shining radiance to our skin, topically. To make a healing salve, cream or ointment from Sunflower, there is an easy traditional method. I came across this as a Russian practice, but I think it’s likely that every culture that grew this generous being figured this one out because it’s dead easy. The whole heads are used to make an oil; for skin ailments, stiffness and rheumatoid arthritis. Harvest the flower heads as they begin to loose their petals, so seeds have formed on the outside but are also still ripening in the centre, (I also throw in leaves and small young heads in full-petal as well). Break them up a bit and fill a clay, enamel or glass pot with them. Add just enough spring water, so that they will boil down to a mash. If you don’t have spring or well water, then first, leave out an open cloth covered bowl of city water for a couple days. Most of the additives evaporate from the water in that time if there is adequate surface area. Keep the mash on a low simmer for a day or sun-infuse them for a couple sunny days, until the plant material looks visibility sapped. Strain out the plant material with a fine mesh sieve. Of the liquid left, the oil will float to the top. Skim off the oil. Store in cool area, fridge or freezer until you need to use it. The green water part, will make the oil go funky if left in, but has medicine and can be added in as the water portion when making salves or creams. This is not just sunflower oil but a powerful herbal infused liniment, all in one. Ready to rub, or be added as an oil into salve mixture. Truly a miracle plant."
