Out of the Average

We missed you guys for the last two weeks! We take the first episode of 2021 to catch up with each other! Some topics to note are breathwork, The Great Conjunction that happened on December 21st, and Meghan's bonkers alternate reality shifting (?) potentially time traveling (?) dream!

Recorded remotely and Edited by Allison Varca and Meghan Pavlovsky. Music Credits to Michael Vontas.

*Since recorded remotely, apologies for the audio quality! Meghan's volume is a bit lower than Allison's.

This week, we bring an amazing guest onto the pod! Tiffany, also known as Priestess Theophania on Instagram, joins us via remote recording to talk about her experience and work as a channel. She shares some crazy stories about her channeling, introduces some of the gods and goddesses she loves working with, and even gives us a little peek at her process. Long story short, Tiffany is incredible and you definitely want to listen to this episode! Happy listening.

This week, Allison introduces the renowned alchemist, Nicolas Flamel, to the podcast....but was he ever really an alchemist at all? You may recognize his name from a popular book series or two, but Nicolas Flamel was indeed a real man! Let's dive in to some things we know about his legendary life, shall we?

***Note: There will not be a new episode next week on November 20!

This week,  Allison teaches Meghan the myth of Izanagi and Izanami, also known as the Japanese Creation Myth! Though it's own mythology based in Shintoism, there are quite a few similarities to two very well-known Greek myths. Can you tell which ones before we get to it? Happy listening.

Happy (almost) Halloween, friends! We decided to put together a short and sweet little episode to express our love for the holiday - including discussing a little trip we took (safely of course!),  some older pagan traditions that have shifted but still show themselves in our modern day Halloween, and what we specifically love about the holiday. Do you feel the magic in the air? Oh you might just be feeling the blue moon coming up!
