Welcome to Season Three: Resonate Readings. 

We were invited to the Resonate Podcast Festival in Richmond, Virginia. Founder Chioke l’Anson set up a recording studio for us in the midst of a rowdy after party late one Saturday night, and Rebecca read tarot cards for a handful of folks she’d never met.

This season, we’re sharing those slices of real time magick with you. First up, director, producer, composer and creator of audio projects, Brendan Baker.

Special thanks to: Brendan Baker for the audio setup, Chioke I’Anson for the opportunity, Craig Eley for the guidance from afar, June Gunter, and Meredith Emmett for curating the introvert’s party. Here’s Meredith’s conversation with Rebecca from Season One.

Willow Defebaugh is a writer who transmutes the teachings of nature for this era of climate crisis. As Editor-in-Chief of Atmos Magazine, author of The Overview, and host of The Nature Of podcast, she has a remarkable ability to hold darkness and light in tandem, re-enchanting the natural world for those who wish to see the magick in it.

In time for summer solstice, Willow joins us by the riverbank to discuss the ritual that allows her to take a meaningful pause, how she tells the difference between instinct and intuition, and how it feels to age into becoming more and more herself.

Writer Chloe Garcia Roberts describes translating as the practice of doing divination with a dictionary. As she carries meaning from one language to another, or from the spirit world to her original writing, she steps outside of societal structures to channel a fundamental kind of mystery, resisting dogma and letting herself be led by instinct. Chloe joins Rebecca to talk about the difference between religion and spirituality, translation as a spiritual act, and how she taps into the language of trees.

Valerie June is a star being. Her music invites us to trust the path, to live with our whole hearts, and to embrace joy and attunement while navigating darkness. Celebrating the release of her new album, “Owls, Omens, and Oracles”, Valerie joins Rebecca to share how she connects to plants, neighbors, owls, ancestors, power, breath, and her own spirit, which she calls upon and even seems to pray to in her celestial songs. 

Rebecca and Valerie mention writer and activist adrienne maree brown, whose books include “Pleasure Activism” and “Emergent Strategy.” Rebecca quotes from adrienne’s moving bio of Valerie.
