In this episode, Britten LaRue is joined by Caroline Durlacher and Mellie Test for a conversation on staying with your magic when it's unclear, inspired by the Eight of Swords. Together they reflect on what it's like to be in a long creative process - where clarity doesn't always arrive on the timeline the mind wants - and how The Magician's Table can function as a container that supports devotion, experimentation, and self-recognition. They explore the tension between money as feedback and the ways it can distort our relationship to magic, while naming the relief and power of letting your practice be emergent: trusting transmission, honoring cave time, and creating without needing permission, justification, or proof.

Topics They Cover:

• Returning to The Magician's Table twice: resistance, refinement, and the intelligence of coming back

• Money as feedback vs. money as proof and how tying magic to material success can cloud clarity

• Devotion to process: luxuriating in the process, experimentation, and letting your work evolve moment to moment

• Cave time, invisibility, and staying with your magic during unclear or non-linear seasons

• Self-recognition as the true initiation and claiming you are magical without needing external validation

About Caroline Durlacher:

Caroline Durlacher is a former literature & philosophy PhD candidate turned Emergent Business mentor for divergent thinkers & creative visionaries.

In this Dark Moon download, Britten speaks from the dark moon in Capricorn at the closing edge of the lunar cycle, as Saturn reaches the final degree of Pisces and prepares to move into Aries. She shares why these are a form of self-regulation and names the phrase that has been coming through really loud at the end of this cycle: living your refusals.

Britten explores refusal as a sacred Saturnian function. An integrity-based "no" that clarifies what is loving, fair, and generative, and locates agency and authority. Reflecting on how abundance begins with no, she invites listeners to refuse collapse, perfectionism, and silence. And explains how to move from compassion into action. As the energy shifts from Pisces to Aries, she calls forward self-trust, sacred irritation as information, and the courage to free up energy for the dreams that want to come into form.

In this episode, Britten LaRue is joined by artist, astrologer, and mom extraordinaire, Janessa Quinn, for an intimate and revealing conversation about what it's like to live inside the active moment of political crisis in Minnesota. Janessa shares firsthand experiences of community response to ICE activity, the emergence of underground networks of care, and the psychological and logistical realities of daily life under what many are calling an occupation. Together, they reflect on astrology as a contextual anchor and explore what it means to stop asking systems to save us and instead build something new through relationship, proximity, and care.

Topics They Cover:

• Janessa's personal and geographic context: growing up between South Florida and Minnesota, and how Minnesota's rule-following culture shapes both resistance and collective response

• How the murder of George Floyd marked a turning point that seeded long-term mutual aid, underground care networks, and community organizing that are now being reactivated

• What daily life looks like inside the current situation in Minnesota: hypervigilance, checking maps, encrypted group chats, anonymous coordination, and the emotional toll of living in multiple realities at once

• Parenting through crisis: how Janessa talks with her children about ICE, safety, kidnapping, and the presence of helpers without sugarcoating what's happening

• The concept of occupation: why that word fits, how it feels psychologically and physically, and how it echoes historical moments of wartime normalization

• The role of local businesses, neighbors, and mutual aid becoming acts of resistance

• Astrology as both a witness and compass: Pluto in Aquarius, Jupiter in Cancer, the Aries Point, and the tension between urgency, force, love, and long-term capacity-building

• Capacity building and self-care as survival skills: tending energy, restoring capacity, and preparing for what may continue or spread beyond Minnesota

About Janessa Quinn:

Janessa Quinn is an artist, astrologer, and mom extraordinaire located in Minnesota. As a tender of flame and keeper of hearth, she is here to inspire and encourage others to liberate themselves by remembering their fire within. With the help of her 8th house Libra sun and fiery chart ruler, Jupiter in Aries, Janessa illuminates the treasure we can only find in the dark and boldly shares it with the world via her many offerings, including one-on-one consultations, workshops, writing, and her podcast, The Astro Garden.

You can find out more about Janessa's work at her website, byjoveastrology.com or on Instagram at @byjoveastro. Janessa's podcast is available on all streaming platforms, including YouTube, and her writing is available both on her website and her Substack, https://byjoveastrology.substack.com/.

In this conversation, Britten welcomes artist and healer Arizona Smith, a 13th Reader for The Magician's Table. Arizona shares stories from her life and practice that move between divination, art, dreaming, land attunement, and lineage repair. Together, they explore how meaning unfolds over time, how signs and omens ask for patience, and what it means to stay in relationship with mystery rather than rushing to interpretation. The conversation touches on inner child healing, devotion to land and ancestors, creative practice as medicine, and the slow, often surprising ways healing and protection can move across time.

Topics They Cover

• Arizona's relationship to being an artist and a seer, and how her practice weaves divination, ritual tools, dreaming, and art-making

• The Purple Diamond as a lifelong presence, omen, and creative thread that took years to fully reveal its meaning

• Crows, synchronicity, and the way signs and messages arrive through relationship with the natural world

• Time-bending healing, inner child work, and the practice of offering blessings across past, present, and future selves

• Dream-led land healing and listening for what the land is asking rather than trying to impose change

• Lineage, repair, boundaries, and the ongoing work of protecting innocence in ourselves, in others, and in the world

About Arizona Smith:

Arizona is an artist and healer who works ceremonially with the tarot, talismanic artworks, and energetic healing.

She is the author of The Purple Diamond Tarot and The Book of Love: An Oracle Deck for Emotional Healing, and draws on decades of experience exploring creativity, divination, and subtle energy work.

Her practice is rooted in ritual, symbolism, and an attunement to unseen currents, guiding individuals to reconnect with their wild, inner power and innate capacity to self-heal.

Through one-to-one sessions, events, retreats, and teaching, she creates immersive spaces for exploration and transformation — where insight, imagination, and embodied wisdom come together, offering clarity, resonance, and a renewed sense of possibility.

In this conversation, Britten LaRue is joined by multidisciplinary esoteric practitioner Leanne Thurogood for a deep, land-rooted exploration of ancestry, magic, and what happens when we say yes to a call we don't fully understand yet. Leanne shares the story of being pulled into The Magician's Table through literal and energetic portals, her pilgrimage back to Scotland, and the emergence of the Three Cauldrons as a sovereign, ancestral energy practice. Together, they reflect on lineage, fear, vulnerability, and the kind of magic that asks us to trust before it gives us a plan.

Topics They Cover:

• How land, etymology, and ancestry quietly shape our magical identities

• What it means to feel the call of The Magician's Table, resist it, circle it, and eventually step through a doorway that makes change inevitable

• The Cailleach as land, elemental force, and bone mother: cycles of death and rebirth, mythic memory, and remembering what the land already knows

• Letting go of pre-planned offerings and trusted tools in order to birth something new, unknown, and guided

• The Three Cauldrons as a Celtic cosmology of sovereign energy management rooted in sea, land, and sky

• Community as an amplifier of magic: how witnessing, reflection, and shared vulnerability turn peers into kin and create lasting webs of connection

About Leanne Thurogood:

Leanne is a multidisciplinary esoteric practitioner weaving Celtic ancestral wisdom through Astrology, Energy healing and Tarot.

Her work is devoted to remembering and reawakening the bone stories of her motherland, carried through the living lens of personal lore - including her reclamation of WITCH.

Originally from Scotland, now living on unceded Wurundjerri land. Her practice is held in deep reverence to its elders past, present and future.

You can find Leanne on Instagram @oftheearthesoteric and over on Substack with her publication The Void.

In this conversation, Britten welcomes Lily Hussey - 13th Reader for The Magician's Table this year - to explore the connection of astrology, adornment, voice, and glamour magic. Together, they move through a rich dialogue about being seen in your wholeness: integrating taboo selves, unshaming performance and illusion, and finding the joy that makes it easier to show up in a year that asks for big magic, inner authority, and community.

Topics They Cover:

• Lily stepping into the role of a 13th Reader for The Magician's Table 2026, and the energy of returning leadership, trust, and devotion that comes with being invited back into the container

• Being a corporate marketing girly and a magician at the same time, and the work of integrating parts of the self that once felt dissonant, taboo, or out of place

• How glamour, illusion, and performance can be reclaimed as honest and skillful magical arts rather than something fake or inauthentic

• The experience of shame, embarrassment, and visibility

• The Magician's Table as a safe, community-based practice space where both beginners and experienced practitioners can develop voice, magic, and confidence without needing everything figured out

• Fashion, adornment, and jewelry as everyday ritual, including planetary correspondences and intentional aesthetics that support presence and potency

• Astrology as a form of parts work, and the practice of cultivating wholeness, sensitivity, and inner authority by deciding which voices get to lead

• Why community acts as an amplifier for magic, making it easier to take creative risks, go bigger, and stay in relationship with joy and devotion

About Lily Hussey:

lily hussey is a multidisciplinary creatrix, astrologer and witch.

she weaves together astrology + planetary magick, ritual, adornment, glamour + chaos magick, deity work and a dash of irreverance in her good hussey universe to support folx in navigating this wild human experience.

as a lifelong student of esoteria, she's always studying something new to add to her grimoire.

she believes we are all innately magickal and through her practice aims to help you remember, uncover and reclaim that magick.

In this conversation, Britten is joined by returning guest Suprasensory Shahir for a wide-ranging meditation on magic and The Magician (both as an archetype and as the first card of the Major Arcana). Together, they explore how magic moves through individuals and groups, why it resists ownership or hoarding, and what it means to live in right relationship with power. Britten also shares context around The Magician's Table, including Shahir's unprecedented return as a 13th Reader for 2026, and reflects on why presence, resonance, and devotion (rather than credentials) are the true thresholds for this work.

Topics They Cover:

• Magic and The Magician as an archetype, and the tarot card that inspired The Magician's Table

• Why magic wants to circulate, move, and be shared - not contained or possessed

• Personal magic versus group magic, and how power moves through a collective field

• Shahir's role as a 13th Reader, and what it means to hold space for others while participating fully

• Why Britten trusts intuitive selection over logic when inviting 13th Readers

• The structure of The Magician's Table: 12 Magicians, one 13th Reader, and why every seat matters

• Presence as the primary commitment and the real work of showing up

• A shared belief that everyone is magical

About Suprasensory Shahir:

Suprasensory Shahir (they/he) is a love devotee mystic who shows up as an astrologer of the moment & diviner of the future.

In this episode, Britten shares a candid transmission on the challenges that emerge at six figures and beyond - when your work is already valued, momentum is real, and the next level asks for deeper self-trust and a different relationship to growth. She names common signals you've reached an edge (like resentment, overwhelm, and the vulnerability of becoming a beginner again), reframing them as invitations to cross a new river in your business and to meet what's here with more honesty, playfulness, and capacity.

She weaves in the medicine of Mars and Saturn as allies in leadership so your business becomes more contained, sustainable, and aligned. From this foundation, Britten introduces ABLAZE: an intimate container for 12 entrepreneurial mystics who are ready for a potent initiation into their leadership frequency, supported through the real-world thresholds of visibility, support (automated or human), and building a resentment-free, overwhelm-free business rooted in trust.

Learn More:

ABLAZE is a high intensity group initiation space for big-hearted leaders craving to distill, embody, and amplify their most authentic voice. Inside of 4 months, you will be held to the fires of your own sublime heart. You say Yes because you crave the courage to truly see how big you are.

Starting January 29, we join to gather in a community capped at 12 participants for intimacy, vulnerability, and true transformation. You will not be the same leader on the other side of this. You will be more of who you already are. Spots are available until filled, with the latest entry set at February 6. There will be a waitlist for the next round once all spots are filled.

Claim your seat inside the inaugural cohort of ABLAZE. There will never be a first one again! Learn more here: https://brittenlarue.com/course/ablaze/

In this conversation, Britten welcomes back Teagan West to explore the lore of The Magician's Table and answer a question listeners often ask: what is a 13th Reader? Britten shares how the container emerged through her journaling practice, why it's structured as 12 Magicians plus a 13th Reader, and what makes it a living, intelligent space that works quickly and deeply. Together, they reflect on the edge of being both leader and peer, the way each cohort carries its own distinct medicine, and why the work is less about managing outcomes and more about trusting the intelligence of the container itself.

Topics They Cover:

• The origin of The Magician's Table and why resonance (not experience) is the true threshold

• What it means to be a 13th Reader: holding the space while also fully participating

• Teagan's spiral path of resistance, invitation, and stepping into leadership

• Each cohort's unique medicine and the living intelligence of the container

• Tracking the perimeter: fox and skunk as metaphors for devotion, boundaries, and polarity

• The real work beneath the surface: Saturn, showing up, and consenting to deep internal alchemy

About Teagan West:

Teagan West (she/they) is a Ritualist, Astrologer, Drum Maker & Ancestral Healing Practitioner from Ho:di:no:saunee Land, home of the Seneca Nation. The core of her work focuses on restoring Animist Lifeways as a form of Cultural Repair, re-membering our ancestral cosmologies as guideposts for the future. Teagan's Ancestors come from Ireland, Syria, Egypt + Eastern Anishinaabe Territory, whose legacy is at the center of her work + ritual praxis. She weaves together threads of Astrological Storytelling, Land Reconnection, Ancestral Tending and Community Ritual as a unique tapestry of culture work + animist remembrance. In her free time, you can find her making ritual tools such as Drums + Rattles, or communing with the Land and Ancestors through Song + Dance.

Teagan is humbled to be back at the Magician's Table in the role of Staffholder, with the high honor of supporting 13th Readers and fellow Magicians through this year's cycle. This container had a huge impact on Teagan's life + practice, so it is an immense gift to be able to support others in experiencing the alchemy that this space has to offer. She will be present throughout the year to uplift Magicians + 13th Readers as they deepen into their gifts + soften into their growth edges.
