Main themes in this episode:

• Sun and Moon as counterparts in tarot

In this episode, we discuss the radical workings of the Moon tarot card. From myth and patriarchy to practice and wild reclamation, we embrace the deepest intuition and wild waters within. From the Star’s healing into the liminal, to where intuition leads and softens the ego, the Moon encourages us to stand at the crossroads of internal to external, to discover ourselves, and let our wild magick out of the box. 

Some of the main themes in this episode:
• Evolution line from Devil to Moon and why it matters
• the liminal, intuition, signs, magick, and wildly reclaiming our evolution
• patriarchy’s break with cyclical wisdom and how doing the work for ourselves is to do the work that was denied to others
• symbolism of crab, pillars, lighthouses, wild vs tame
• three practical reads for real-life choices
• boundaries, protection, and discerning signs
• simple rituals for moon phases and integration
• poem “The Moon” as a closing invocation

In this episode, I share a story with you that highlights the issues of spiritual bypassing in the spiritual, holistic, and witchcraft community. Spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, and love and light are thrown around often, but don't actually create the change they wish to make. Instead, they push real issues into the shadows and lock them away. 

When we do this, let hate off the hook, and refuse to look at personal situations that need reflection. In this episode, I share how I believe that sacred rage, clear boundaries, and grounded tools like tarot can help us face hard truths and act with integrity.

The main issues discussed:

• a story that highlights the problems with spiritual bypassing
• racism, sexism, and more should kill your vibe 
• addressing the hatred of people like Charlie Kirk and the Paradox of Tolerance
• using our spiritual tools to help us address and navigate the shadows of life (personal or collective), instead of suppressing them

• numerology of 17 and 8 as evolution and strength 
• cultivating awe without bypassing pain

• resilience as softness, not cynicism 
• signs, guidance, and rebuilding purpose

Samhain (pronounced "sow-in") is a Celtic Pagan festival celebrating the end of the harvest and moving into the dark half of the year with Winter. Samhain is one of eight sacred days on the Pagan Wheel of the Year. All of these days hold spiritual significance with the seasons and the Sun. 

Samhain carries themes of: 

• honoring ancestors and the beloved dead
• celebrating the harvest
• understanding the cosmic death-cycles
• using community to forge connections and ensure survival through the harshest months
• merging between the spirit world and the world of the living

In this episode, I discuss the history of Samhain, give a deeper look into the themes, and discuss ways you can celebrate Samhain today. May your Samhain be safe and sacred. Blessed be.

This episode is an exploration into the element of water and how it teaches us emotional honesty, interconnection, and safe surrender. 

Working with the element of water is a lesson in opening the heart, channeling our emotions, and intuition.

We end this episode with a beautiful poem (Love IX by Pablo Neruda and translated by W. S. Merwin.

Main themes:
• water as heart, intuition, dreams, symbolism
• channeling emotion vs flailing in ritual
• surrender, support, and altar practices
• working with bodies of water and spirits
• boundaries, protection, grounding, offerings
• cups suit as vulnerability, courage, power
• integrating water magick into daily life and advocacy

After we have found liberation with the Devil, we walk into the destruction, chaos, and upheaval of the Tower. This is perhaps the most unwanted card in the tarot, but the Tower, like all tarot cards, has gifts to give.

In this episode, we will reframe the collapse as a rite of passage that aligns outer life with inner truth. We will hold fast and true to ourselves, and find the warrior within. We will discover some of the deepest insight that comes from upheaval, and rebuild, brick by brick if need be.

Main themes with this episode:
• the Devil-to-Tower arc and why inner shifts demand outer change
• rites of passage and how to hold steady in chaos
• an initiation to evolution and wild reclamation is going to remove things that do not serve
• the wisdom that comes with hindsight, and the power of the spirit to keep going, to have hope, and to be brave

The Devil card in tarot is often feared and misunderstood, but it actually represents an invitation to find freedom and break the chains that no longer serve us. In this episode, we will explore how the the Devil card from the third line in the Major Arcana (the Evolution Line) calls us to look beneath surface appearances to find our authentic truth. We will see how to engage with this great liberator with autonomy and honesty, not fear and dogma.

Main themes discussed in the episode: 

• The Devil as the first card in the "evolution line" of the Major Arcana
• Finding your autonomous center between internal truth and external experiences
• Looking into the underbelly to see causes rather than consequences
• Breaking chains that others, society, or ourselves have placed upon us 

• Symbolic elements: chains, masks, locks and keys, connections to the zodiac sign of Capricorn, the Hebrew letter, and the Greek God Pan
• Harnessing free will to create your path and honor your evolution
