We're back with the second episode in my new series on self-care as magic! In this one, I speak with folk healing artist Richael Faithful (pronouns they/them) about how to live a magical existence within the very real realities of our modern world. Richael shares about their own journey with magic--through their childhood connection to nature through their current practice of the African diasporic tradition of conjure. Further, we discuss why embracing magic is the self-care technology that can help us evolve through the current world crises and relearn what it means to live in a community.
We also speak about:
- How to handle the tension between magical and scientific approaches (they're not as different as you may think!).
- Why it may be important to choose a magical self-care practice connected to your own background and ancestry.
- Why learning how to help others through moments of grief may be one of the ultimate magical self-care practices.
- And much more!
I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it with Richael! Please listen and let me know if you have any thoughts or questions.
