Episode 128: Spring Magick

In episode 128 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby contemplate seasonal archetypes and the magick of spring. They discuss eclipse season, dandelions, and the goddess Kybele, the celestial Mother who rules our roses, caves, and mountains. They welcome back the light half of the year by building a fire from the wands in their tarot decks and inviting the self-devouring serpent, the Ouroboros, to this solar celebration.Sources:A Dictionary of Symbols, J.E.
