What if face-planting onto a tile floor from three feet up turned out to be the most transformative moment of your life? For Jen Mitchell Love, a family law attorney with 19 years of experience, that's exactly what happened during what should have been a routine (albeit admittedly ill-advised) breathwork session in a steam room.

Upon regaining consciousness with blood pooling around her, Jen received a visit from her ancestors, along with a clear message: "You have come here to do big things, and you need to do them!" What followed were five days of extraordinary experiences that completely transformed her perception of reality ("was that a glitch...in the sky?") and her life's purpose.

After recognizing that the conventional divorce system destroys families rather than helping them heal, Jen transformed her legal practice into Solace Divorce Mediation. Now she guides couples through divorce as a soul journey, incorporating concepts of reflection, soul contracts, and inner healing into the legal process. 

Jen's story is ultimately about navigating life—do we externalize our problems, blaming others and circumstances, or do we look inward to discover the reflections that can lead to our evolution?

Doll historian and witch Heather Green unpacks the mysterious world of haunted dolls, explaining how they function as portals for spirits rather than becoming possessed objects themselves. She draws on her extensive knowledge of doll history and the occult to help us distinguish between "inspirited" dolls that have absorbed energy over time, and "ensouled" dolls that serve as anchors for specific spirits.

In this interview, Heather teaches us:

• Dolls can be "inspirited" with energy from years of human interaction without being haunted
• Most haunted dolls function as portals rather than possessed objects
• Destroying a haunted doll can make the haunting worse
• Tarot can be an effective tool for communicating with doll-attached spirits

Heather also hosts a weekly podcast called "The Witches Movie Coven," discussing films from a witch's perspective. Learn more about her at https://www.heathergreene.net, or in the show notes for this episode at homespunhaints.com.

Three knocks in the night. A wailing cry. A figure in white seen from the corner of your eye. Across cultures, these omens carry the same chilling message—someone will soon die.

In this captivating exploration of supernatural death harbingers, folklorist and author Steven J. Rolfes takes us deep into the mysterious world of banshees and their counterparts across different cultures. With his book Beware the Banshee's Cry as our guide, Steven reveals the fascinating complexities behind these ethereal messengers.

What exactly is a banshee? Steven presents three possibilities: the ghost of an ancestor with either loving or vindictive intentions, a fairy from the ancient Tuatha de Danann, or perhaps most intriguingly, a transformed Celtic goddess. The name itself—"bean sí" or "woman from the fairy mound"—connects these entities to pre-Christian Celtic traditions that have survived centuries of cultural evolution.

From Lady Fanshawe's encounter with a floating red-haired apparition at an O'Brien castle in 1649 to a mysterious black cat haunting a Cincinnati hospital in 1879, these stories span continents and centuries, demonstrating how banshees follow Irish families wherever they travel. We also discover similar traditions worldwide, including Germany's White Lady (Weissefrau) and Mexico's weeping woman (La Llorona), showing how humans across cultures have personified death's approach.

The folklore contains surprising elements—banshees' treasured combs that shouldn't be stolen, the protective power of iron against supernatural entities, and the specific families traditionally haunted by these harbingers. Stephen's storytelling brings these traditions to life with both scholarly insight and captivating narrative.

Listen now to discover whether your heritage comes with its own supernatural warning system, and consider: if you heard three knocks at your door tonight, would you answer?

What happens when an astrologer's meditation on birth charts opens unexpected doorways to the spirit realm? Susan Reynolds never planned to communicate with the dead—in fact, she was once so terrified of ghosts that she would leave the room if anyone mentioned them. Yet over her 40-year journey as an astrologer, the veil between worlds kept thinning until she could no longer ignore the messages coming through.

Susan's remarkable story begins with a routine pre-reading meditation that unexpectedly revealed a client's past life as an Irish farmer's wife with seven children. Though hesitant to share what seemed like a "boring" vision, Susan watched in amazement as this revelation transformed her client's life, lifting the burden of guilt the woman had carried about choosing career over family. This pivotal moment taught Susan to trust the information coming through, regardless of how it might be received.

The spiritual downloads didn't stop with past lives. During readings, deceased loved ones began appearing with urgent messages for her clients. "I'm not a medium," Susan insists, explaining that unlike professional mediums, she can't summon spirits at will—they simply show up. One particularly moving encounter involved a father who had passed just weeks earlier, desperately wanting his daughter to know he loved her one last time.

For years, Susan maintained a double life—corporate professional by day, intuitive astrologer by nights and weekends—until her spirit guides abruptly announced it was time for her to pursue her calling full-time. This dramatic career shift allowed her unique approach to astrology to fully bloom, combining traditional chart analysis with spiritual insights that address the soul's journey across lifetimes.

Whether you're a skeptic, a spiritual seeker, or somewhere in between, Susan's experiences offer a fascinating glimpse into what happens when analytical practice meets intuitive gifts. Her story reminds us that our greatest strengths often emerge from embracing the very things that once frightened us most.

URGENT: Our friend Courtney from this recent episode needs your help; all you have to do is click on this link to her IG post, "like" the IG post (not THIS post, but the IG post at the link below👇), so she can win her pitch contest and secure funding:  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIRODSRsQdP Thank you!

Courtney, the mutual friend who originally connected Becky and Diana, joins us from Munich to share her unexplainable telekinesis experience. Her story bridges the supernatural with the power of manifestation, showing how intense emotions might literally move objects—and lives—in unexpected directions.

In this episode, we: 

• Speculate on the neurological basis for Courtney and Diana's telekinesis phenomena,
• Hear about a mysterious (angelic?) encounter at New York's lesbian bar Cubbyhole after another frightening (demonic?) encounter prompted her first visit there,
• Examine manifestation as a way of life—from moving objects with her mind, to moving to another country, Courtney's manifestation game is suspiciously efficacious,
• Develop the signature "Have a Spooky Day" cocktail, to be served at Courtney's new business, Frau Bar, Munich's only dedicated space for the FLINTA community (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, transgender, agender).

Please consider supporting or sharing Courtney's crowdfunding campaign to open Frau Bar at https://www.startnext.com/flinta-bar-munich/ds/d/sn-erlebnisse/sn-events/vip-soft-opening-i435890.html.

What if your soul originated from somewhere beyond Earth? What if consciousness isn't limited to human experience? These are the questions artist and author Jordan Harcourt-Hughes has been exploring through her multifaceted creative practices. 

Jordan of New South Wales, Australia, practices several distinct arts, including writing, metal sculpture, painting, installations, and creative workshops. She started with writing as a child, but abandoned it at 19 when words felt inadequate to express deeper truths. Part of what inspired this artistic blossoming were extreme out-of-body experiences, which led her to believe she may be an extraterrestrial or "star seed." Since then, she uses her artwork to connect with other-dimensional energies and frequencies. Nowadays, Jordan has come full circle: revisiting writing to explore the cosmic themes in her life. Perhaps it's no surprise, then that her novels star a metalsmith who tunes metal to other-world frequencies. As of this writing, Jordan just published the second novel in the series, "High Country."
