Emily Barnard: Side Quests, Sacred Objects & the Soul’s Creative Evolution

In this gorgeous episode of Mediumship Matters and the Spirit Social: Meet the Creator Series, Hannah is joined once again by the wonderfully soothing Emily Barnard of Emily & Her Stars for a conversation that feels like a warm cup of tea for your nervous system. Emily returns with a whole new chapter of creativity and cosmic insight — sharing the “side quests” Spirit has led her on since her first appearance, including her now-legendary dollhouse renovation (which has evolved into a witchy community complete with a reading room… and a ghost in the attic!). They dive into Emily’s love of spiritual history rabbit holes, reclaiming witch iconography, and why understanding the roots of symbolism matters when we’re re-owning it in modern ways. Hannah and Emily also explore Emily’s beautiful new creative work: sacred objects and altar-inspired pieces infused with intention, ancestry, and story — including how vintage linens and found materials seem to “choose” their next journey. It’s a heartfelt discussion about claiming creativity again, the vulnerability of being seen, and the spiritual truth that creating can be a form of meditation and channelling all on its own. They chat astrology (including what’s coming in 2026 and beyond), the evolving landscape of the Akashic Records, and the idea that spiritual growth isn’t a straight line — it’s often a return to who you were before the world told you who to be. ✨ A magical, funny, and deeply nourishing episode about creativity, consciousness, and learning to play with Spirit again. 🌐 Connect with Emily at emilyandherstars.com and on Spirit Social under Emily & Her Stars 🌟 This episode is part of the Spirit Social “Meet the Creator” series — celebrating the incredible souls sharing their gifts on the app. I'm starting a circle, and you're invited. Most people developing their mediumship are doing it on their own. From September I'm running a monthly development circle inside Spirit Social, where you practise with other people instead of just reading about it. Over 12 monthly live events, alongside daily card readings and live demonstrations. Come and join us: https://onelink.to/pgwzuq
