  • Ep 170 - Cat Gina Cole
    Cat Gina Cole joins us to talk about her new book, “Psychic Skills for Magic & Witchcraft.” Magickal people have long known the value of harnessing the power of the mind and sharpening psychic skills to help with spellwork and manifestation. You don’t have to be a practitioner of magick or Witchcraft to benefit from this book or to work on your own abilities. We all have extrasensory abilities and just like learning a new skill or getting better at something, it takes a little practice and a little knowledge from someone who has been there and done that. Enjoy our wonderful conversation with Cat Gina Cole. Learn more about her and read her blog at www.catginacole.com.
