The Essentials

How To Be Magical is an East Coast-based podcast where host Nikki Buchanan of Soul Things Botanica sits down with priests, healers, and practitioners across the African Diaspora to unpack the realities of spiritual traditions—far beyond the aesthetics.

Since 2020, we’ve recorded 40+ episodes with Lucumí priests, Isese initiates, Hoodoo rootworkers, Espiritistas, Reiki masters, astrologers, and tarot readers. No fluff, no dogma—just raw conversations ✨
