Maighdlin Kelly is my guest tonight for this incredible conversation about astrology.  They talk about their journey to astrology, the astrology of the weird, and the "fractally complicated" nature of astrology.  They encourage everyone to learn astrology on their own because of the comfort of seeing yourself reflected in the universe.

Maighdlin is a data-driven astrologer, bringing up the important distinction between correlation and causation in regards to the data that astrologers are looking at.  Because of that, they talk about how gatekeeping sabotages the field of astrology.  They also had some mind-blowing thoughts about play and the phenomenon.  This episode was a delight.

Author, priestess, and witch Irisanya Moon joins me for tonight's episode of Personal Pans.  She discusses the principles of reclaiming witchcraft and how it's evolved over time to be more inclusive.  We also talked about staying open and curious in a ritual practice, how we can nourish ourselves and each other, and acknowledging the present moment.  We talked about what it means to belong in a community as opposed to trying to make people fit in and the importance of meeting people where they are.  She also caused a paradigm-shifting moment for me by talking about how we should think about how we relate to things as opposed to trying to define those things.

Tonight's episode features Jason McConahey, Pentecostal cult survivor, and magical practitioner.  We talk about being Aquariuses with moons in Scorpio, the pursuit of knowledge, the importance of human connection, and, of course, Hellier.  Jason is one of the first friends I made in the paranormal/occult community, and I still get excited every time I see him post about a new book he's read.

Mortellus is a witch, necromancer, mortician, medium, and author, and also the best person to talk to about Dark Souls and dark matter.  We talked about trauma (because I always do), death, being called by The Morrigan, the mysteries of dark matter, and carnival life.  They were also generous enough to share a passage and a map from their upcoming book.

This episode features Mark Obscura.  We talk about loving weird and goth things at a young age, the importance of questioning your assumptions and beliefs, the nature of consciousness, and the Mandela Effect.  As a stress-relief hypnotist, Mark also talked about the power of allowing and reprogramming your own mind.  He also ends the episode with a mentalism trick invented by Max Maven.  This episode was an absolute delight and I hope you enjoy it too.
