An affirmation, a mantra, a specific direction of stirring the gumbo pot — Lindy walks through how ordinary moments become energy manipulation without anyone calling it magic. Even Tesla gets pulled into it. Then the conversation turns to astrology itself, and something clicks live on air — the Magician tarot card, ruled by Mercury, is the card of manipulating the four elements. And Mercury happens to be Paul's chart ruler. Lindy doesn't hesitate: astrologers count as witches in pagan circles, full stop. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Affirmations and mantras qualify as energy manipulation, even when the person saying them wouldn't call themselves a witch.
2. Cooking with intention counts too — Lindy stirs gumbo counterclockwise to remove negative energy, clockwise to add positive energy.
3. Even Tesla's documented rituals get reframed here as a form of energy manipulation, whether he'd have called it that or not.
4. Paul connects the Magician tarot card — ruled by Mercury, his own chart ruler — to the idea of manipulating the four elements.
5. Lindy confirms without hesitation: astrologers count as witches in pagan circles, since reading the stars to predict outcomes is its own kind of magical skill.

Lindy braced for pushback that never really came. Her mom's only real objection was one offhand comment back when Lindy was in her early twenties — since then, she's been nothing but supportive, even gifting her obsidian statues. Family members raised the same way she was have quietly slipped into the Witch Depot too, keeping it to themselves — and Lindy's fine with that, she says, because faith is personal. From there the conversation turns to something most people get wrong entirely: were there witches in the Bible? Lindy says yes — they just weren't called witches. They were called seers. And that distinction opens up a bigger one: being psychic and being a witch aren't the same thing at all. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Lindy's mother offered only one comment of concern, decades ago — since then, she's been supportive, even gifting Lindy witchcraft-related items.
2. Family members from her Southern Baptist upbringing have visited the Witch Depot quietly, without wanting it known — Lindy respects that privacy without taking it personally.
3. She considers herself fortunate — most people who come from Catholic or Baptist backgrounds face real pushback, since witchcraft is framed as something biblically wrong.
4. Lindy argues witches existed in the Bible too — under a different name: seers, who kings relied on to predict outcomes.
5. Being psychic and being a witch are not the same — psychic ability is passive information-receiving, while witchcraft requires actively manipulating energy.

A witch doesn't fit in one box, Lindy says — kitchen witch, herbal witch, whatever fits, "I am a witch, period." Male practitioners get the same title too — warlock is just a TV invention. Then comes the question everyone's been waiting for: does Hansel and Gretel hold up? Lindy's answer flips the story on its head — and from there she breaks down what people actually get wrong about curses, why doubt is the one crack negative energy needs to get in, and why nobody's hiding their face walking into her shop. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Lindy doesn't limit herself to one category — kitchen witch, herbal witch, or otherwise. "I am a witch, period."
2. Male practitioners are also called witches — "warlock" is a term that comes from television, not tradition.
3. Revisiting Hansel and Gretel: Lindy argues the children's own actions set the story's events in motion, giving the old fairy tale a moral she says gets missed.
4. Real curses are rare — they take significant time, sustained effort, and money. Most people who think they're cursed likely aren't.
5. Even skeptics aren't immune — a small crack of doubt is enough to let negative energy in, she says, "like water looking for a crack."
6. Customers walk into the Witch Depot openly — no hoodies, no hiding — which Lindy says speaks to how normalized the shop feels in her community.

There's more than one kind of witch — Lindy explains the subsets hiding under the Wiccan umbrella before revealing the deity she actually works with: Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec snake god tied to the planet Venus. As a Taurus, she's Venus-ruled herself, and the connection didn't fully click until she traced it back further — Peruvian ancestry she carries that ties her, thread by thread, straight to why she was drawn to him in the first place. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. There are many subsets under the Wiccan/pagan umbrella — Alexandrian, Gardnerian, Eclectic, and more, each a slight variation on the same core path.
2. Lindy works with Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec snake-and-air god connected to the planet Venus.
3. As a Taurus, Lindy is Venus-ruled — a connection she didn't consciously recognize until she researched Quetzalcoatl's mythology.
4. She carries Peruvian ancestry, which she says helped fill in the missing pieces of why she felt drawn to this particular deity.

It took Lindy twenty years to move from Wicca into full witchcraft — not out of fear, but because she "came out full Taurus, head bull running straight into it." Still, she's clear that magic deserves respect: manipulate energy without knowing what you're doing, and you can hurt someone. That includes prayer. Whether it's sent sincerely or thrown as a sarcastic jab, prayer is energy in motion — and Lindy will take every bit of good energy anyone's willing to send her way, no matter what faith it comes from. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Lindy's transition from Wicca to traditional witchcraft took roughly 20 years — driven by instinct rather than fear, in her words, like a Taurus running straight at it.
2. She believes people should respect magic's power — manipulating energy without proper knowledge can cause real harm to others.
3. Prayer, in her framework, is a form of energy manipulation — no different in kind from a spell, just different in intent and delivery.
4. Sincerity matters: she welcomes genuine prayers from any faith, but meets sarcastic "I'll pray for you" jabs with a little humor of her own.
5. Her bottom line — she'll take any good energy sent her way, as long as it keeps her moving and her business open for the people who need her.

A witch, in her words, isn't a Halloween costume — it's a healer who never got the MD. Lindy runs the Witch Depot in Kenner, Louisiana, and she claims the title without flinching. She grew up Southern Baptist in a small Mississippi town, moved to New Orleans in her twenties, and found Wicca waiting on the other side. Not all Wiccans are witches, she explains — paganism is an umbrella just like Christianity, with Wicca as one room under it. The line that actually separates a Wiccan from a witch isn't faith at all. It's practice. The moment you start manipulating energy, you've crossed it. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Lindy defines a witch as a healing-arts practitioner — herbs and energy work standing in where modern medicine leaves gaps.
2. She grew up Southern Baptist in rural Mississippi and only found her path after moving to the New Orleans area in her early twenties.
3. The Witch Depot name almost got softened for public comfort — she chose to claim it outright instead.
4. Paganism functions as an umbrella term, like Christianity holding Catholic, Baptist, and Methodist underneath it — Wicca is one subset, not the whole.
5. Not all Wiccans are witches. Practicing magic — intentionally manipulating energy — is what actually crosses someone into the "witch" category.

Mental Reset brings the history lesson. Black Wall Street — Greenwood District, Tulsa Oklahoma, 1921. The wealthiest Black community in American history. 35 city blocks of Black-owned businesses, hospitals, law firms, newspapers, hotels, movie theaters, and a school system that produced doctors and lawyers. Built in less than 20 years after Reconstruction by people who had nothing. Destroyed in 16 hours by a mob and the Oklahoma National Guard dropping incendiary devices from planes. 300 people killed. 10,000 left homeless. 1,256 homes burned. Insurance claims denied. No reparations. No criminal convictions. Buried in the history books for decades. The conversation moves into generational trauma — not as an excuse but as an explanation for the patterns that run in families who never processed what happened to them and never got justice for it. Why the most dangerous thing in America is a Black man with a plan and a community backing him up. The 1921 Tulsa race massacre as an astrological event with transits that confirm the timing was deliberate and calculated. Trust but verify. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Black Wall Street was not a myth or an exaggeration — the Greenwood District of Tulsa Oklahoma was a fully functioning self-sufficient economy built in under 20 years by people one generation removed from enslavement, proving that the material conditions of Black poverty in America are a result of deliberate destruction and policy rather than cultural deficiency.
2. The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was not a riot — it was a coordinated attack using the Oklahoma National Guard and private aircraft dropping incendiary devices on civilian neighborhoods, making it the first aerial bombing of an American city by its own government, a fact that was suppressed in history books for decades.
3. Generational trauma is not an excuse but a biological and psychological explanation — unprocessed terror, grief, and survival responses get encoded in the nervous system and passed down through epigenetic inheritance, meaning the behavioral patterns in families who experienced collective trauma are not character flaws but unhealed wounds running without a diagnosis.
4. The most threatening combination to systems built on racial hierarchy has historically been Black economic self-sufficiency, Black community solidarity, and Black intellectual development operating simultaneously — which is why every successful Black community-building effort in American history has been met with coordinated legal, financial, or physical destruction rather than allowed to compound.
5. Knowing this history is not about staying in the wound but about understanding the actual root cause of present conditions — you cannot heal what you refuse to name, and the generational pattern only breaks when the truth of what happened gets acknowledged, processed, and deliberately interrupted rather than passed down one more time.

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the critical importance of exercising wisdom and maturity in the pursuit of success. We delve into the necessity of establishing a healthy routine that incorporates a balanced approach to the four essential elements of life. The discourse emphasizes that spontaneity, while occasionally appealing, may lead to detrimental outcomes if not tempered with careful planning and foresight. We explore the metaphor of encountering a fork in the road, illustrating the necessity of making deliberate choices rather than impulsively forging ahead without consideration of potential consequences. Ultimately, our discussion invites listeners to reflect on the significance of thoughtful decision-making and the impact it has on one’s journey towards success.

Takeaways:

• Exercising greater wisdom and maturity is essential for ensuring success in life.
• A successful routine involves a balance of four elements that should be maintained daily.
• It is crucial to establish a plan rather than relying on spontaneity in business ventures.
• When faced with failure, one must decide whether to continue or revert to an earlier choice.
• The concept of being at a fork in the road invites reflection on the choices we make.
• The discussion of the fool in reverse highlights themes of selfishness and the inability to progress.

#astrologyrideoftheday

Part two goes deeper than the surface-level part one — waking up from Gemini's breadth into Scorpio's depth to actually show how to change your fate. Imagine a 12-sided room, each wall a zodiac sign with its own outlet and wattage, and yourself standing in the middle with different appliances — your sun, moon, Mercury, Mars, and every other planet — plugged into different walls. That's your natal chart: fixed placements, but not fixed expression. Every sign runs three currents: overemphasized, underemphasized, and balanced. Picture a train approaching a three-way switch — left is underexpressed, right is overexpressed, straight is balanced. The sleeping person lets the train pick its own track. The conscious person wakes up in the conductor's chair and chooses. That's the real meaning of free will — not changing which wall your appliance is plugged into, but consciously choosing how the current flows once it's there. Every sign gets walked through again with its three expressions, and the real work is brutal honesty: find your planet, find its sign, and ask which track you're actually riding — and whether you want to keep riding it. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. The 12-sided room metaphor treats each zodiac sign as its own electrical current or wattage — your natal chart shows which planet (appliance) is plugged into which sign (wall), and that placement itself is fixed.
2. What's not fixed is expression — every sign runs three tracks (overemphasized, underemphasized, balanced), and conscious awareness is what lets you choose which track your placement actually rides.
3. Changing your fate doesn't mean rewriting your birth chart — it means waking up in the conductor's seat and consciously directing the expression of energy that's already there.

Mental Reset shows up with a new bag — literally emptying the old one to make room for new information. He has switched to a frugivore diet, eating only fruits and the things we call vegetables that are actually fruits. More energy, no more sluggishness, the body detoxing acid and mucus that has been building up for years. The word diet has the word die in it. Everything that comes out of your body is detoxification. The conversation goes deep — Lucy and the Neanderthals, two creation stories in Genesis with two different names for God, the Book of Enoch being left out, cognitive dissonance defined as the mental toll of holding contradictory beliefs, and why showing someone that Jesus and Christ may not be the same thing produces complete silence instead of questions. The leech analogy — programming has teeth and when you rip it off it takes some skin with you and that wound has to heal. The Liver King exposed. The food pyramid built for commerce not health. The 100 monkey study and collective consciousness. And the final assignment — take the approach that everything you were told was a lie and start from there. Trust but verify. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. The body detoxifies continuously through every elimination process — urination, defecation, sweating, mucus — which means changing your diet does not introduce detox but rather redirects it, and the cravings during transition are the body's old programming still running while the biological reset catches up.
2. Cognitive dissonance is the mental toll of holding contradictory information simultaneously — when someone sees a picture that challenges their programming and goes completely silent instead of asking questions, that silence is the immune system of their belief structure going into defense mode against a virus it was not equipped to process.
3. The two creation stories in Genesis use two different names — God in chapter one and Lord in chapter two — which points to either two different authors or two different entities, and the fact that this distinction is rarely discussed in mainstream religious settings is itself an example of the programming suppressing the inquiry it cannot answer.
4. Breaking away from deep programming is not an intellectual event but a physical and emotional one — like Neo seeing the real world for the first time, people report actual nausea, rage, grief, and disorientation when they begin dismantling beliefs they have held sacred for decades, and that reaction is the healing process not a sign that something is wrong.
5. The most honest and useful starting point for anyone who wants to think clearly is to assume everything they were told was a lie and verify from scratch — not as cynicism but as methodology, because trust without verification is how programming perpetuates itself across generations without ever being examined.
