Here on the New Moon of Leo, I am feeling so full and courageous and this episode serves us up the Afro Witch, Keiko. We go back to the softness yet strength we see in lunar phases. Keiko tells us a story, and explores how suburban lifestyle was hard to build a connection to her brown witch self. Keiko talks of their tarot journey and how phases are so important to the work. We explore how AfroWitch evolves, how we evolve. What fulfills us intuitively? When we aren’t ab...

Many questions do not have binary answers. Ari helps one look closer to the questions that will be ones we are forever curious. Written in the stars. Astrology is hot. Its starry eyed for certain, and if we aren’t careful astrology can be taken for grateful. To believe in Astrology, you have to believe how intrinsically important they are to the psyche and our wild becoming. We interact on a superficial level, and we aren’t really willing to question on a different level. ...

Oh, limitless space.Oh, eternal mystery.Oh, endless cycles of death and birth.Oh, miracle of life.Oh, the wondrous dance of it all.Tom Hiron from Sometimes A Wild God We have entered into this space of Cancer Season, and I could not think of a better time to release this episode. I always surprise myself when episodes release at exactly the right time. I have been stirring energetically feeling withdrawn, and really not of the "action" or "fire" called forth with summer in the Weste...

In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction.Audre LordeMy time with Jewelle dates back to my childhood. She is my first cousins oldest sisters wife. Family. We haven’t seen each other much over the years, but her memory of cheetah filled black femme elegance radiates out from her every pore. Jewelle’s work surpasses the landscape of activist, witch, renegade, original. She had no troub...

I WILL NOT DIE AN UNLIVED LIFEI will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which came to me as blossom, goes on as fruit. Dawna Markova Here we are greeted by one of ...

Witchcraft is, and was, not... for everyone. Unless you have an attraction to the occult, a sense of wonder, a feeling that you can slip for a few minutes out of the world into the world of faery, it is of no use to you.Gerald GardnerØdane Liú and I had such an immediate kinship, we rocked on the same cosmic wave length and our conversation here was nothing short of well…yep. Magick.We all come from some place where we explore our connection to the Occult. Whatever this may be for us, whether...

When speaking with Bani Amor, my world was unpacked and unfolded. They have so much wisdom to share and my fan girling of Bani Amor was no exception here, as I was honored to have them speak even though they were under the weather. Always in search of their truth and finding their North Star of Honesty. They map through their experiences around social justice work, accountability and just living. We go through so much within this episode, and Bani takes the floor and really u...

Each place I standI call my ancestors to stand with meWe create sacred circleAnd invite all to bear witnessThe divinity of who I amWithout love there can be no justice. When JL and I began to talk, their ability to drop in and through the veil of the moment was instant, and bringing us to a place where our council of elders behind us sat and talked of our old ways. The goosebumps have risen and still not fallen. We talk of Spiritual Capitalism and JL way of being settler and indigen...

Even though just over phone conversations and interweb weavings, her auric field radiates, and you can feel it in all the places that strike chords of resonance. They show up. Fully.
