Welcome to episode five of The Pillars, the Porch and the Path. In this episode we dig into ATR’s, or, African Traditional Religions which we refer to as African traditional spiritual belief systems and what we’ve explored about them thus far on our Path. This is a broad, multi-faceted topic and we discuss many aspects of ATR’S from how these spiritual belief systems were sytematically taken from enslaved Africans during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to the revival of the traditions all over the African Diaspora today. We discuss how religious syncretism, dance and drumming was utilized to hide and to pass these traditions on. And in true BLERD style, we share our favorite authors and books on this vast and complex topic!

Welcome to episode Four  of The Pillars, The Porch and The Path. In this episode we discuss fakes, frauds and fuckery in all its many forms. As Andi and I started out on our journey we realized that there are a multitude of fakes and frauds out there just waiting to take your money. They come in all different forms and you need to use discernment when you are choosing people to work worth.

Welcome to our very first episode of The Pillars, The Porch and The Path. In this episode we give you a hilarious blow-by-blow of our first post-vaccination Girls Trip.  Andi makes candles and jewelry and I decided to join her on her trip to the Tucson Rock and Gem show. We’d both been vaccinated and were itching to go somewhere, anywhere really! And it should have been perfect. We both were desperately in need of time away and we love spending time together. But y’all, we simply were not ready for Tucson! This episode we talk all about that fateful trip to the Arizona desert and how it went terribly wrong because we neglected to do our travel magic! Travel Magic is how we set intentions and do divination and protection work to ensure smooth skies, straight roads and good humor so that we can squeeze every ounce of pleasure out of our travels.  

So consider today’s show as both a cautionary tale and a “how to” episode. We explain what happened, why it happened and how you can protect yourself before going on your own long awaited travels.

As sisters we want to help new and solitary spiritualists feel supported, entertained and “in-community.” Although we live in California and Texas respectively, this podcast is our virtual porch--a way to feel at home and in sisterhood. Each episode we will warm you up with laughter, share our spiritual journeys, help support the evolution of your Craft and bring a little magic into the mundane. Tune in for your weekly dose of cards, candles, and cackles!
