The Wheel of the Year, round and round it goes.

Often told by request at Sabbats and her classes; We bring you Mel's telling that brings it to full color life!

Many practicing witches study long and hard to learn what not to do before venturing into new territory.

This week we start  with an email from a listener (even though I all her a reader in the episode) who is exploring how to walk the line between following old ways and walking your own path, and how to stay safe while doing so.

Mel, Tabs, and Tegan share their own experiences with magickal safety vs experimentation, along with a healthy dose of our usual misc tangents!

In this episode we discuss why we took up the tarot, how we learned, and what keeps us coming back to the cards. We also take a look at alternative forms of divination that we are looking to grow into.

On a side note: We originally tried to record an episode on divination during Mercury retrograde...and he decided to take us on a ride that did NOT result in am actual episode. In the picture above is are the fantastic wines we imbibed during that attempt.

Sooo this is the new, appropriately social distanced, Skype redo.

Theme Music "Baba Yaga" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)

This episode starts with an unedited listen to our normally cut pre-episode chatter. I call it "Before the Clink"  lol

We recorded this on March 30th, after we had sufficiently recovered from the shock of coming back from a spiritual journey in the wilderness to find the world in peril and the only safe haven is apparently toilet paper forts?!

We talk about how we have adjusted, and what witchy things we are mostly not doing, but want to. We also go in depth on resources we find helpful from websites, podcasts, tarot readers, classes, and more.

So sit back and enjoy with your own drink, and forgive Mel for calling it Corvid instead of Covid. (Death and mayhem make her think of a murder of crows)

Mel, Tabs, and Tegan  spend an hour with their  friend Lakota Herb Woman Kathy Two Hawks. She shares her life journey, personal practices of healing and teaching others.

This interview took place the week before the girls went on a Vision Quest led by Kathy in the Arizona desert.

In the first of many interviews with local practitioners, the girls sit down with their friend and the owner of local shop Tanja's Natural Magick, on "Smidgen Monday" to share a bit of Bourbon and a lot of laughs.
