In this episode, Charlie and Brian discuss the concept of "cosmic hospitality," particularly in the context of welcoming ancestors during sacred times, such as Samhain. They emphasize the importance of setting up altars, offerings, and preparing both physical and mental spaces to honor the presence of spirits. Cosmic hospitality is described as an approach to all beings—whether spirits, animals, or natural elements—with respect, gratitude, and openness. They also discuss setting boundaries with certain ancestors, noting that not all should be welcomed into sacred spaces, especially if their influence is harmful. The conversation touches on how to incorporate ancestors into daily life, treating them as honored guests without overwhelming oneself or them. Additionally, they explore the deeper connection between magic, nature, and spirituality, stressing that magic is part of the natural world and should be seen as such.
