In episode 157 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew bid farewell to season five and welcome in Prophetic Girl Summer. In this conversation, they revisit the stories of priestesses, nymphs, and clairvoyant baddies who have historically said, “I told you so.” They meet Helice and Cassandra, contemplate yearning as a spell, and consider the influence of internet aphorisms in a modern world.

In episode 156 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew discuss Earth Magick and Midsummer guardians. Led by their inner creatures, they begin by contemplating the folklore of the earth-dwelling goblin, a mischievous being who serves as the witch’s familiar. Then, spiraling deeper into the soil, they visit the roots of sacred trees. They consider roots as allies and teachers, and how they show up in ceremony. Kristin and Kate also discuss their plans for the Summer Solstice and share advice on creating rituals that bridge the weird and the wild, and make you feel alive.

In episode 151 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby set their sites on the great beyond with a conversation about extraterrestrials, star people, and mythic accounts of maybe aliens. They consider the stories of Billy Meier, a man from rural Switzerland who documented over 100 visits from a group of telepathic, human-passing beings from the Pleiades star cluster (also known as the Seven Sisters). They discuss indigenous relationships to the stars, as well as different approaches to considering alien existence, including the Fermi Paradox, the Great Filter Theory, the Dark Forest hypothesis, and the Rare Earth hypothesis.
