To "celebrate" Pluto's transition into Aquarius, we are going to dive into a HOT topic- open and closed spiritual systems.

Now, this conversation can be quite "prickly" for many people, but it is one that we HAVE to engage in because it is just that important.

In this episode, I will be explaining the differences between closed and open spiritual practices, why are certain practices closed and much more, so be sure to pay attention and take some notes!

What's good y'all?

In today's episode I will be discussing Artificial Intelligence from a spiritual perspective. In this episode I will be presenting some of the spiritual research I've done concerning A.I. and I will be sharing those personal findings with y'all.

I hope y'all are ready to expand your perspectives because this episode will definitely require it!

Hey babes! Today's episode is all about Ancestral Work. In this episode I dive into the concept of Ancestral Work and explain the difference between it and "Working with the Ancestors".

In this episode I dissect the nuances involved in Ancestral Work and the complexities that come with working with Ancestral Spirits, Ancestral healing, navigating Ancestral trauma and generational patterns, and more.

This episode is a recording of a lesson from the "Papi Wata's Grotto Patreon". If you like what you hear, then consider becoming a patron and exploring the vast amounts of in-depth material on a variety of spiritual topics.

We always hear about Ancestors- but like who and what are they? No really...who the hell are they and why are they so important?

Well, in this episode I'm going to tell you just that. Think of this episode as a sort of crash course on Ancestors. It's detailed and compact with lots of information.

I break down how Ancestors are seen in Odinani and why when it comes to African Spirituality (and most other indigenous spiritual systems) it's always Ancestors first.

Prepare to learn something and to switch up your perspective.

It's often said that "the first step in getting know about everything else is to first know oneself"....yeah, ok.

We hear this phrase (or some variation of it) so often that it begins to lose its value and sound like some half-baked "self-help" bs. But is there any truth to the phrase? And if so, then how do we go about it?

These are the questions that we answer in this episode. Introspection and connection are the major themes here, as we peel back the layers and get down to the real tea. Give this episode a lesson- it's one you won't want to miss!

So much is going on in the world and it can all be so overwhelming. Empires are collapsing, inflation is increasing, and political turmoil seems to be everywhere.

In these times we can start to feel helpless and hopeless- doomed to our circumstances. However, what does Spirit have to say about this.

What Ancestral Wisdom can we pull from to help us not only cope with our current circumstances but also possibly thrive through them? Listen to this episode to find out!
