Thorny Thoughts

We're feeling Mercury retrograde hard! There were some technical difficulties, so we ended up rerecording! My friend Murr joined us to ramble about astrology (at great length) and explore the upcoming eclipse season and retrogrades. We get very very silly, and this is kinda long, but whatever we're adorable.

Featuring my lovely birth-year/ Saturn return buddy Andrew!! We talk life stuff, house shopping, mushrooms, and honestly just kinda ramble. It's a good time.

Leah and Hawthorn talk about the hectic Mercury retrograde season, learning about our real skills and roles in social structures, and how our Saturn Returns have affected how we see ourselves and balance our energy. My apologies for the audio issues towards the end! Our connection got a bit out of sync and it sounds like we are talking over each other. Hope y'all can enjoy this conversation and relax in these Pisces new moon vibes 💙💙💙

We start with some very mushy brains and astrology and end up on a great thread about whiteness, class consciousness, and ancestor work. Mild content warning for misogynistic violence and ancestral trauma.

Leah joins us to talk religion, spiritual beliefs, and divination. We touch on ancestral work, whiteness, and how it intersects with queerness, cultural boundaries, and personal practice.

Welcome to 2021! This episode features a special guest, Camo Kitten, and we talk a bit about our experiences of gender and queerness (and how weird bro culture is). Listen for the content warning at the beginning!

Leah and Hawthorn ramble about how their December has been so far, look forward to some astrology for the new year, and talk about art, anxiety, and hobbies. Search "Scottish waulking songs" to hear the folk music Hawthorn refers to!

We're cracking it open right away baby! Leah and Hawthorn talk class backgrounds, white culture, financial privilege in agriculture jobs, and so much more! TW: This episode comes with a trigger warning for mention of body shame and disordered eating, towards the end of our conversation.

Meet the host Hawthorn and cohost/semi-regular guest Leah, and hear about how we met, our experiences so far during 2020, and what we're expecting from this eclipse season.
