Text the ShowYou can tell a lot about a person by how they define “a witch,” and Rachel Henderson refuses to define it for you. Raechel is a pagan and a witch who writes at the intersection of magic and creativity, and her latest book, A Witch Is: 13 Keys to Witchcraft, is built to help you claim your practice without falling into someone else’s rules. We start with her path from a Baptist upbringing shaped by conformity to an eclectic witchcraft practice that values individuality, community, and lived ethics.From there we get practical. We talk about why kindness is not the same as niceness, why boundaries can be an act of care, and how protection magic fits into an ethical framework. Raechel explains how she approaches guardrails in spellwork without fear-based dogma, and we dig into what new witches often ask for most: permission, structure, and reassurance that they are not “doing it wrong.”We also go straight at the commodification of witchcraft. If social media altars make you feel broke or behind, you’ll love this part: thrifted tools, dollar store candles, found objects, and even your pantry can support real spellwork. Raechel shares a smart modern protection tip too, including how to ward your router, plus a clear explanation of sigils for anyone who wants simple, low-cost magic that actually sticks. We close with our favorite question about what lies beyond, and Raechel’s view of energy transforming into new forms.If you enjoy the conversation, subscribe, share it with a witchy friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.Support the showGranddaughter Crow - www.granddaughtercrow.com Check Out My Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow Check Out My Substackhttps://substack.com/@granddaughtercrowSocial Media: @GranddaughterCrow  YouTube Channel: @GranddaughterCrowJenny C Bell - https://www.jennycbell.com/Jenny’s Our Coven Communityhttps://our-coven.mn.co/landingFor more from Jenny:https://linktr.ee/Jennyc.bell?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ba12a9e9-bd17-4699-9e70-68c74fb3c96f

Text the ShowYour coffee can be more than caffeine. It can be a steady, repeatable way to calm your nervous system, ground your energy, and remind you that you belong to yourself. We sit down with Reiki master teacher, ritualist, and Wellness Uprising founder Rhonda Kuykendall-Jabari to talk about her new book Burn And Brew Rituals and the real life spirituality behind incense blends and cozy healing drinks. We get personal about where ritual actually starts: family, memory, and the small routines that raised us. Rhonda shares how her mother’s dresser became an unspoken altar, complete with music, scent, touch, and that ever present cup of coffee. From there we break down what makes a ritual a ritual, why intention matters more than fancy tools, and how you can work with what you already have, even if you live in a small space or can’t burn smoke. We also go deeper into ancestral connection and boundaries, especially for anyone who worries their ancestors might not approve of spiritual practices. Rhonda offers a clear approach: invite the supportive ones forward, set parameters, and listen in meditation. Along the way we talk moon phase meditations, food as energetic support, inclusive holiday rituals, and how Reiki and chakra healing quietly weave through everything she creates. If you want practical self care, accessible spiritual practice, and grounded energy work you can do today, this conversation is for you.

Text the ShowA single Navajo word becomes a full roadmap for modern life. Jenny C Bell takes over the mic to interview Dr. Joy Gray (Granddaughter Crow) about her upcoming book, Hózhǫ́, and what harmony and balance look like when you’re living through noise, change, and real pressure. We get practical fast: how to pronounce “Hózhǫ́,” why language matters, and why Granddaughter Crow built the book as an interactive guide with exercises and journal prompts you can actually use.  From there, we dig into her most grounding framework, the four bodies of existence: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Granddaughter Crow explains why each “body” needs care, nourishment, rest, and growth, and why spiritual development can ripple into your nervous system and even your health. We also talk about spiritual maturity, the moment the early-stage magic fades, and what it means when spirit stops tying your shoes and asks you to stand on your own.  The conversation doesn’t dodge the hard truth. Granddaughter Crow shares the personal cost of writing raw ancestral stories, reflects on Indigenous identity from the 1970s to today, and names the legacy of boarding schools and cultural erasure. We also explore internal narratives through archetypes and astrology as tools for self-reflection, plus how generational forces shape who we become. If you want a small practice to start today, Granddaughter Crow offers one you can do in minutes outside your door.  If this resonates, subscribe for more conversations that blend Indigenous wisdom, embodied spirituality, and real-life tools, then share the episode and leave a review so more listeners can find it.______Support the showGranddaughter Crow - www.granddaughtercrow.com Check Out My Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow Check Out My Substackhttps://substack.com/@granddaughtercrowSocial Media: @GranddaughterCrow  YouTube Channel: @GranddaughterCrowJenny C Bell - https://www.jennycbell.com/Jenny’s Our Coven Communityhttps://our-coven.mn.co/landingFor more from Jenny:https://linktr.ee/Jennyc.bell?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ba12a9e9-bd17-4699-9e70-68c74fb3c96f

Text the ShowThe world is loud about who you “should” be, and it can slowly train you to think, feel, and even believe on command until your own life no longer feels like yours. We slow all of that down and turn inward, following a medicine woman and shamanic perspective on what it means to find balance and harmony within yourself so your life can change from the inside out. If you’ve been craving a more purposeful life that actually fits, this is a grounded place to start. We explore the idea of internal counsel: the built-in set of advisors you were born with. Not just the intellect of the brain, but also the wisdom of the physical body and gut intuition, the intelligence of the heart and emotions, and the guidance of the soul and spirit. Using the four bodies of existence as a simple map, we talk about how to hear yourself more clearly and how to make decisions that feel aligned across mind, body, heart, and spirit. These themes connect directly to self knowledge, self empowerment, and self actualization, not as buzzwords but as lived practice. We also spend time with Hózhǫ́, a Navajo concept described as a way of being: walking in balance with yourself and, in turn, walking in harmony with the world around you. The conversation lands on a powerful truth many of us recognize: living by other people’s rules can look “right” from the outside while feeling wrong on the inside. The answer is not perfection, it is authenticity and the courage to return to yourself. If this resonates, subscribe for more conversations on inner guidance, mindfulness, and authentic living, share this with a friend who feels off course, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Text the ShowA pinch of powder can be a full spell if you know what you are doing. We sit down with returning guest Charity L. Bedell to get practical about Powerful Powders and why magical powders remain one of the most versatile tools in spellcraft, hoodoo, conjure, and Southern folk magic. From dressing candles to building container spells, from dusting a threshold to laying a “path” that activates when people walk over it, powders turn intention into action in a way that is simple, portable, and surprisingly powerful. We also go deeper than recipes. Charity breaks down how correspondences actually form by studying the whole life of a plant: medicinal uses, where it grows, what it pairs with, and what it resists. Then we look at folklore and myth as another layer of meaning, and we talk about UPG (unverified personal gnosis) and why your lived relationship with an herb, crystal, or ingredient can outperform a list from a book. If you have ever wondered how to adapt traditional formulas like hot foot powder or black salt without losing the point of the work, this conversation gives you a clear method. Finally, we keep it grounded in everyday magic: shower and bath techniques using essential oils, directional washing for drawing in vs clearing out, and kid-friendly options like wish powders that let beginners learn without flames or complicated tools. We also cover responsible practice and safety, including why you should separate tools for edible powders versus non-ingestible blends. If you want accessible witchcraft that works in real life, start here. Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this episode with a friend who loves practical magic, and leave a review with your favorite powder or daily ritual takeaway._______Bio: I am a witchcraft and nature spirituality author who has been published by Union & Square (Formerly Sterling Ethos) and Llewellyn.

Text the ShowIf shadow work makes you think of something evil, you’ve been sold a story that keeps you small. We sit down with Reverend Stefani Michelle, an interfaith minister with deep metaphysical roots, and talk about shadow work the way it actually works as a natural part of being human, the “hidden” parts of us that still steer our choices until we bring them into the light with compassion and honesty.We compare perspectives from shamanism and interfaith spirituality and keep finding the same truth underneath the vocabulary. Light creates shadow. What we refuse to look at doesn’t disappear, it gets louder. We also widen the lens into collective shadow work, naming how division and distraction can be engineered, and why community is the simplest form of protection. When we stop shaming ourselves, we stop hiding. When we stop hiding, we can connect again, neighbor to neighbor, heart to heart.Then we go right into the modern tension point: AI and authenticity. As synthetic content rises, people’s “bullshit detector” gets sharper, which means real presence matters more than ever. We talk about how shadow integration makes you more trustworthy, more grounded, and harder to manipulate. You’ll also hear what we’re building next, including Stefani’s Phoenix healing events blending yoga, Reiki, and breathwork, plus Granddaughter Crow’s upcoming shamanism-focused classes and books.Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s ready to do the work, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.__________Bio: Rev.

Text the ShowThe ground keeps shifting, but our roots don’t have to. We sit down with healer, acupuncturist, and author Lindsay Fauntleroy to explore how flower essences, Ifa (the wisdom of nature), and the five elements can restore clarity when life speeds past the heart’s capacity to process. This isn’t theory from the sidelines. Lindsay shares a lived journey from health crisis to soul medicine, revealing how nature’s consciousness can change our minds, our choices, and our communities.  We unpack the psychology of the elements—water’s descent into fear and destiny, wood’s direction, fire’s connection, earth’s steadiness, metal’s meaning—and show how these archetypes map cleanly onto everyday emotions and energy. From there, we demystify flower essences as vibrational remedies that carry a plant’s point of view, helping us move from reactivity to presence. If you’ve ever felt watched over by the more-than-human world, you’ll love our dive into animism, where the river has agency and the hawk notices you first.  Decolonizing wellness becomes practical—choosing community over content, conversation over consumption, and inhabiting rather than owning the Earth. Lindsay also spotlights her Spirit Seed community and a new class on building plant allies and deepening earth-based spirituality with journal prompts and embodied practice. And when we ask for a medicine for right now, Angelica steps forward—an essence for ancestral connection and sensitive guidance through noisy times.  If you’re craving grounded spirituality, ancestral wisdom, five-element psychology, and plant-based consciousness work you can actually live by, press play. Then share this conversation with someone who needs permission to slow down, listen, and remember why they came. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us which element or plant ally is calling you today.________Lindsay Fauntleroy LacLindsay’s approach to soul medicine is grounded in over 15 years of mental health clinical practice as a licensed acupuncturist, her sacred study with elders of the Ifa tradition, and her commitment to community wellness. She is a fierce advocate for reclaiming ancestral knowledge systems as tools for personal evolution and collective liberation.Lindsay’s current doctoral research explores the use Flower Essence Therapy as a decolonial approach to psychotherapy. One of her greatest joys is supervising advanced students in the Spirit Seed clinical residency, as emerging practitioners bring earth medicine to diverse communities around the world. www.thespiritseed.orgSupport the showGranddaughter Crow - www.granddaughtercrow.com Check Out My Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow Check Out My Substackhttps://substack.com/@granddaughtercrowSocial Media: @GranddaughterCrow  YouTube Channel: @GranddaughterCrowJenny C Bell - https://www.jennycbell.com/Jenny’s Our Coven Communityhttps://our-coven.mn.co/landingFor more from Jenny:https://linktr.ee/Jennyc.bell?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ba12a9e9-bd17-4699-9e70-68c74fb3c96f

Text the ShowWhat if the forest could translate psychology into plain language you can feel in your body? We sit down with clinical psychologist and author Mark Langenfeld to unpack Wisdom from the Woods, a pocket-sized devotional designed to guide a year of growth through practical nature metaphors, guided imagery, and mindful practice. From juggling as whole-brain therapy for dyslexia to moonlit walks that dissolve labels, Mark shows how storm clouds, willow trunks, and flower buds can teach forgiveness, patience, and grounded resilience without a single clinical buzzword.We explore how to balance two modes of attention—hawk vision for planning and owl focus for execution—so you anticipate challenges without getting blindsided or burned out. Mark’s story of an owl’s tragic tunnel vision becomes a memorable reminder to shift perspective on purpose. He also opens the book’s structure: 52 stand-alone chapters with a subject index that lets you jump straight to anxiety, assertiveness, habit change, mindfulness, relationships, or visualization. Each chapter offers clear imagery, accessible exercises, and the kind of field-ready wisdom you can carry on a hike and apply the same day.Beyond ideas, the conversation lands in service. Mark donates 100% of his author royalties to student nutrition at Northwood Technical College because learning starts with a full stomach. That choice fits the book’s ethos: wisdom should feed people. If you’re craving mental health tools that are practical, poetic, and portable, this episode will give you strategies you can try on your next walk—breathe like a storm that passes, stand like a willow that bends, and remove the old thorns that still catch on your sleeve.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more listeners find these nature-driven tools for clarity, focus, and well-being._______Bio: Mark Langenfeld is the author of Wisdom from the Woods, published by Llewellyn Worldwide.

Text the ShowWhat if your hardest seasons were not punishments, but precise lessons nudging you toward a truer life? We sit down with Ahaleaiah (Tracy Nichols)—acupuncturist, herbalist, and spiritual teacher—to explore the Akashic Records, past-life memory, and the surprising freedom that comes from releasing regret. Guided for decades by the ascended master Ashlem through the late Reverend Bob Copeland’s trance sessions, Ahaleaiah shares how specific readings validated private moments she never told anyone, then mapped the patterns she needed to transform.  We unpack how karma functions more like energetic momentum than doom, why patterns repeat until we learn, and how unconditional love begins with fierce self respect. Ahaleaiah’s new book, Lessons from Above, is part memoir, part field guide: a candid account of real mistakes, complicated relationships, and the step-by-step work of integrating spiritual insight into daily life. No lofty jargon—just grounded practices you can use today, from meditation and intuitive channeling to sound healing, crystals, and esoteric acupuncture. The goal isn’t to tell you what to do; it’s to help you hear your own soul clearly enough to choose.  You’ll hear vivid stories of past-life resonance that illuminate present-day purpose, a reframe of oneness that cuts through the illusion of separation, and a compassionate stance she calls impersonal love—respecting every person as a spark of the divine, even when they challenge you. If you’ve felt stuck in cycles of self blame, if deja vu trails your relationships, or if you’re simply ready to see your story with kinder eyes, this conversation offers practical light for the path.  Join us, then share your biggest takeaway.

Text the ShowChange can feel chaotic until you have language for it. We sit down with astrologer and author Narayana Montúfar  to decode 2026 as a year that anchors a wider shift that started in 2020—out of heavy earth patterns and into an era defined by air and fire: ideas, networks, learning, and bold beginnings. Instead of fortune-telling, we focus on practical astrology you can use, the kind that grounds you in timing, choice, and embodied ritual.  We start with the Moon—your inner wiring for safety, sleep, nourishment, and love—and why knowing your Moon sign can transform how you care for yourself. Then we reframe Saturn. Forget the fear: Saturn is the great builder, showing up in seven-year checkpoints and the famed Saturn return to help you craft the life that lasts. Nadiana’s “Written in Your Stars” maps cycles for Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and beyond, and her free calculator pinpoints peaks and endings so you can plan with precision. We also explore her celestial art—birth chart paintings that turn your placements into color and motion—and her Luminous Year 2026, a living calendar with rituals, meditations, mantras, and journal prompts that keep astrology in your body, not just on your feed.  The key is elemental alignment. Ask how you relate to air (mind, language, learning) and fire (will, initiation, spirit). If your brain feels passive, learn something new. If your fire is low, move and create; if it’s too hot, pace it with reflection. Two simple tools guide the year: find the house Aquarius rules in your chart to see where power returns, and treat Mercury retrogrades in water as emotional rewrites rather than glitches.  If you’re ready to swap anxiety for agency, this conversation gives you the map and the mindset. Listen, share with a friend who needs a compass for 2026, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.

Text the ShowA producer’s eye. A witch’s ear. A survivor’s will. That’s the energy Amy Miranda brings as we trace how she left award-winning media work, named her deepest wounds, and built a living map back to wonder. The conversation centers on her book What We’ve Forgotten, a richly illustrated, interdimensional guide that turns big spiritual ideas into rooms you can actually visit: an Inner Sanctum without gatekeepers, a Library that grounds Hermetic principles, elements, and the clairs, and protective halls that honor timing, truth, and consent.We talk about how power gets counterfeited by the “uninvited”—patriarchy, colonialism, and extractive capitalism—and what it takes to reclaim the real thing. Amy shares how a soul retrieval reframed her identity as a creator, not a controller, and how lineage work across Filipino, Chinese, Taíno, and Scottish roots helped her name what was stolen and remember what endures. If you’ve ever felt like you “won” the system and still lost yourself, this story offers a different prize: integrity, clarity, and a practical way home.To demystify the mystical, Amy uses a tech-native analogy: ordinary reality is the front end; non-ordinary reality is the admin panel. Change the backend, shift the experience. That’s how she teaches manifestation, discernment, and iterative healing—debugs, timing, and trust. We also explore choosing love over fear with fierce compassion, why community is a spiritual technology, and how to build a boat together before leaving a sinking ship.Come for the star at the book’s heart (Sirius), stay for the keys, and leave with language, tools, and courage.

Text the ShowA sacred circle, a living fire, and voices that won’t shrink to fit the frame. We brought together Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani and Sherry Shone “That Hoodoo Lady” to talk about hoodoo as it’s actually lived: messy, embodied, ancestor-led, and unapologetically focused on liberation. The truth about where this work comes from, who it’s for, and why it’s still necessary.  We dig into permission and boundaries with care. Everyone can read to learn history and context; reading becomes a bridge to respect and accountability. Practice, though, is not a marketplace. Hoodoo is born from survival and community defense, not from trends. We unpack how to move from ally to accomplice, how to challenge token panels and soft appropriation, and how to listen to the people who carry the line. Along the way, we explore “reverse engineering” sacred language—reclaiming scripture and spells so they serve freedom, not obedience.  You’ll hear practical, grounded magic you can start today. Begin with a glass of water and your honest words; bless it, pour it to the earth, and let the work travel where it’s needed. Pair that with a mirror ritual that names you as a beautiful ancestor, shifting self-talk from scarcity to sovereignty. We connect these practices to therapy, book lists, and community study, because emotional maturity is part of the craft. If your ritual can’t hold grief, racism, and daily safety, it isn’t practice—it’s décor.  Come sit with us. Learn from the women doing the work before writing the books. If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs strength today, and leave a review to help others find these teachings. Your words matter—speak them. Your water matters—bless it. Your life matters—live it out loud.____Bio:Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani, a native of New Orleans, is a distinguished writer and spirit woman.

Text the ShowWhat if your hardest times were invitations to remember who you really are? We sit down with Viv, a Nigerian-based creative, tarot reader, and host of “Perspective with Viv,” to explore how intuition, shadow work, and art can turn displacement into belonging. Raised in a devout Muslim family, Viv built a powerful prayer life before a spark around “vibration and frequency” opened a wider field: dream-led tarot, effortless astrology, and creativity as a channel for healing. Her origin story as an artist carries a cinematic twist—an intuitive push to post her composite photography series placing Nigerian street life in Western backdrops sparked viral attention and major media features. The images reveal more than technical skill: they bridge cultures while honoring roots, showing how identity can be both grounded and expansive.  We dig into the tension between organized religion and spirituality, and why going “beyond the box” matters when the work is to face the shadow and choose love over performance. Viv shares candidly about depression during her England years and how it transmuted into poetry, film, and photography. She breaks down the pivotal moment creativity dulled—when art shifted from soul-first to audience-first—and how she reclaimed voice through tarot, podcasting, and daily acts of remembering. Returning to Nigeria brought another test: would she lose her magic to conformity or anchor her home frequency? The answer arrives in synchronicities, aligned relationships, and a layered creative life that feels mundane and magical all at once.  You’ll hear practical guidance to find your frequency: revisit what you loved as a child, engage what lights you up right now, and keep a creative outlet close while you do the necessary shadow work. Viv closes with a collective tarot reading on justice, mindset shifts, and welcoming abundance without self-sabotage. If you’re navigating identity, faith, or creativity, this conversation offers an honest map back to self.  If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find these stories. Your support helps more people remember who they are._______Viv is a dynamic podcast host, intuitive guide, and Tarot performer, celebrated for her captivating energy and soothing voice.

Text the ShowEver wish healing felt less like reliving pain and more like coming home to your body? We sit down with writer, yoga therapeutics teacher, and group facilitator Jacqueline Jackson to explore how somatic practices, EMDR-inspired tools, and gentle shadow work help calm the amygdala, restore choice, and make safety feel real again. Jackie’s path runs through journalism, caregiving, cancer survivorship, and decades of yoga teaching, and she brings that lived credibility to a practical “healing menu” anyone can use.We unpack the science in plain English: what happens when the fire alarm in your brain won’t shut off, why the prefrontal cortex goes offline, and how bilateral stimulation can help the hippocampus file distress into the past. Then we get hands-on with simple, portable tools—orientation, belly breathing, and the butterfly hug—that you can try in a few minutes without dredging up old stories. Along the way, we connect ancient wisdom and modern research: mudras that mirror EMDR’s left-right rhythm, the yoga idea that issues live in the tissues, and the heart center’s reminder that we are unbroken at our core.Community plays a starring role. From music therapy in clinical settings to singing in a choir to reopen the throat after illness, we show how rhythm and voice move what words can’t. Jackie also introduces the Other Parents Like Me network, a compassionate space for caregivers practicing boundaries, gratitude, and evidence-based communication. The big payoff? Not a new self, but the remembered self—lighter, clearer, and more resourced. If you’ve been wary of the word “trauma,” consider this your permission slip to start with safety, agency, and small daily practices.If this conversation helps, share it with someone who needs a gentler path, subscribe for more grounded tools, and leave a review to tell us which practice you’ll try first.Bio: Jacqueline Jackson is a writer, yoga practitioner, and group facilitator with the Other Parents Like Me network.

Text the ShowImagine picking up a beach pebble and realizing it’s not “just a rock,” but a potential ally with history, voice, and agency. That’s the journey we take with author and crystal expert Nicholas Pearson, who brings together geology, folklore, and practical magic to transform how we see stones—from glittering quartz and moonstone to the humble salt on our table. We move beyond buzzwords and trends into clear definitions and meaningful practice: what makes a crystal a mineral, when a rock is more than the sum of its parts, and why understanding structure actually deepens the mystery.Nicholas shares a refreshing reframing of “precious,” rooted in medieval lapidaries where a stone’s value came from its virtue—its ability to influence protection, healing, or weather—rather than scarcity. That animistic thread runs through tales reaching back to hominid-era quartz offerings and into modern craft you can try today. We unpack the witching stone concept with a standout tour of the hagstone: how erosive forces and even mollusks pierce stone, why hag and hedge share a boundary-born origin, and how a simple hole becomes a literal lens for threshold work, dream protection, and divination.What makes this conversation so useful is its accessibility. You don’t need to be a witch, pagan, or druid to participate. Nicholas offers archetypal roles instead of prescriptions, so any tradition can adapt the work. We also explore georegional magic—finding power in local stones like flint, chalk, granite, and fossils—supporting ethical practice while deepening a relationship with place. If you’ve ever felt awe at moonstone’s glow, this talk helps you keep that wonder while learning the science that holds it. If you’ve ever doubted that a garden pebble could be magical, you’ll leave with tools to prove yourself wrong.Ready to blend science with spellcraft and build a practice grounded in both?

Text the ShowWhat if death isn’t an ending, but a return to rest—and a reason to feed ancestors with flowers, fruit, and favorite foods? We invite Reverend Laura González to guide us through the deeper roots of Día de Muertos, far beyond costumes and candy. Laura opens the door to a pre‑colonial worldview where time moves in cycles, not lines: the blooming of flowers, the falling of fruit, and the seeds we leave for those who come after us. We unpack Mictlan as a place of dreaming rather than dread, and why skulls symbolize transformation, not horror.Together we trace how colonization compressed forty days of indigenous honoring into two Catholic feast days, and what survived that shift: offerings, story, and communal care. Laura walks us through building a meaningful ofrenda—marigolds, fruit, coffee, chips, toys, and the exact foods your people loved—explaining why taste is memory’s shortcut. We talk about what to leave off the altar, how to avoid appropriation, and where to buy papel picado, sugar skulls, and clay figures directly from artisans who keep the craft alive. If your grief feels unfinished, this practice can become a yearly way to tell the stories, say the names, and let love do its work.We also share Laura’s ongoing work: decolonizing goddess teachings, on‑demand classes, and a forthcoming series on the Tonalpohualli day signs. Come for the history, stay for the healing, and leave with a clear, respectful way to honor your dead and nourish the living.

Text the ShowDeath isn't something to fear but rather a natural state of being. This profound insight from Jamie Waggoner, pagan priestess (PriestX) and author of "Hades: Myths and Magic and Modern Devotion," sets the tone for a conversation that transforms how we understand the autumn season and the mysteries beyond ordinary perception.  As leaves fall and darkness claims more of each day, many spiritual practitioners feel the boundaries between worlds growing more permeable. But what if the "veil" isn't actually thinning? What if our awareness is simply expanding? Jamie suggests the unseen realms exist parallel to ours all the time—it's our willingness to perceive them that changes during this potent season.  From her perspective as a hard polytheist who believes all gods are distinct entities with their own agendas, Jamie shares practical approaches to connecting with deities and ancestors. She describes her household tradition of setting a feast for Hades and Persephone at the autumnal equinox, complete with offerings buried in the earth and milk bones for Cerberus! We learn about the Wild Hunt led by Welsh deity Gwyn ap Nudd, who rides at Samhain gathering souls—and whose hounds create the curious phenomenon where the further away they sound, the closer they actually are.  Jamie dispels common misconceptions about Hades and the underworld, explaining that unlike the Christian concept of hell, the Greek underworld isn't primarily a place of punishment. Most souls go to the Asphodel Fields—neither good nor bad—where we wait until reincarnation. This perspective transforms our understanding of death from something frightening into simply another phase of existence. Whether through elaborate rituals or simple practices like mindful breathing or lighting a candle, Jamie offers accessible ways for anyone to connect with the unseen—even those who must practice in secret. Her insights reveal what many discover in deep spiritual work: unexpected nourishment, acceptance, and grounding in the very depths we once feared. Curious about developing your own relationship with deities or ancestors this season? Explore Jamie's books or join her teaching programs at Way of the Weaver, where magic is taught as "open source technology" you can adapt to your own practice and community.Jamie Waggoner: Jamie Waggoner is an author, Pagan priestess, and occult expert.

Text the ShowWhat if our greatest fear could become our most profound teacher? Death – that inevitable transition we spend our lives avoiding – might actually be our most significant spiritual initiation.Nikki Wardwell Sleath, occultist and author of Dream Sorcery, brings her unique perspective as both a magical practitioner and former hospice worker to this transformative conversation about our relationship with mortality. Drawing from her experiences witnessing end-of-life struggles, Nikki reveals how our cultural avoidance of death creates unnecessary suffering while robbing us of meaningful closure."I feel that we as a society largely have a very unhealthy relationship with death," Nikki explains. "The suffering, the denial, the taboo around death stands in direct contradiction to how I view death as a witch, as a shamanic dreamer, as an occultist."As autumn leaves fall and nature prepares for winter's rest, we explore why so many cultures celebrate death and ancestor veneration during this season. The natural world offers perfect metaphors for understanding death not as an ending but as part of a continuous cycle – like night following day, with its own unique beauty and purpose. Through practices like lucid dreaming, shamanic journeying, and mediumship, we can develop personal evidence that consciousness extends beyond the physical body.Nikki shares practical wisdom for connecting with ancestors, using "death as an advisor" to clarify life decisions, and preparing ourselves to become "good ancestors" for future generations. She invites us to reframe death as the ultimate adventure – "moving into the next dream" with all the wisdom we've gathered in this one.Whether you're grieving a loss, contemplating your own mortality, or simply curious about what lies beyond, this conversation offers comfort, perspective, and tools for approaching death with greater peace and even anticipation.

Text the ShowThe ancient Celts understood something profound about October that modern society often glosses over with candy and costumes - this is when the boundary between our world and the spirit realm grows remarkably thin. In this captivating premiere of "As The Veil Thins" series, Granddaughter Crow welcomes witch and author Jenny C Bell to explore the deeper meaning behind Samhain, Halloween, and our cultural relationship with death.Jenny reveals how the Witch's Wheel of the Year places Samhain at a critical juncture between the fall equinox and winter solstice - a time when nature herself appears to die. This seasonal death isn't something to fear but rather investigate with curiosity. As trees shed leaves and animals retreat into hibernation, we're invited to reflect on what parts of ourselves might need releasing. Perhaps it's an outdated belief system, a career that no longer serves you, or simply making peace with a chapter that's closing.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Jenny shares her unexpected reconnection with her estranged father after his death. Through a medium friend, she discovered how souls often reflect on unlearned life lessons after passing, seeking understanding and forgiveness from beyond the veil. This perspective offers profound comfort for anyone hesitant to connect with complicated ancestors or painful family histories.You'll discover accessible ways to honor those who've crossed over - from lighting candles while speaking their names to preparing cherished family recipes or hosting a "silent feast" with place settings for departed loved ones. These practices don't require special abilities or elaborate rituals - just heartfelt intention and openness to the unseen.For those concerned about unwanted spiritual encounters during this sensitive time, Jenny offers practical protection methods using crystal allies like smoky quartz and labradorite, alongside her reassuring mantra: "All crystals are protective and all herbs are cleansing."Whether you identify as a witch, spiritual seeker, or simply someone curious about meaningful autumn traditions, this conversation invites you to look beyond the Halloween decorations and discover the profound wisdom of honoring endings as the necessary precursor to new beginnings.

Text the ShowWhat everyday objects in your home could become powerful magical tools? Charity Bedell returns to share her expertise on practical witchcraft and how ordinary items can be transformed into vessels for intention and spellwork.Growing up in a household that blended Christian teachings with profound nature reverence, Charity developed a unique spiritual perspective that eventually led her to identify as both a pagan and a witch. Her father taught her early on that "Mother Nature knows what's going on" and that trees and animals possess their own spirits. This foundation, combined with her questioning after her grandmother's passing when she was thirteen, set her on a path of magical exploration that continues to this day.Charity's published works reflect her practical, accessible approach to magic. In "Container Magic," she explores how jars, bottles, sachets, and even paper packets can serve as vessels for spells, making magic tangible and manageable for practitioners of all experience levels—even children as young as ten with proper guidance. She thoughtfully addresses the full lifecycle of magical tools, including the often overlooked aspect of how to properly dispose of them when their purpose is fulfilled. Her discussion of witch balls—protective ornaments designed to trap negative energies—reveals how traditional magical tools continue to serve important functions in contemporary practice.Looking ahead to her forthcoming book "Powerful Powders" (March 2026), Charity shares how pre-charged magical powders can serve as ready-to-use spell components for days when energy is low but magical support is needed. By blending psychology, spirituality, and what she playfully calls "pseudoscience," she creates a practical framework for magic that appeals to diverse practitioners. Her seasonal practices for autumn and Samhain beautifully balance celebrating nature's cycles with honoring ancestral connections.Ready to transform ordinary objects into extraordinary magical tools? Listen now and discover why Charity's final piece of advice—to trust your intuition and not let self-doubt sabotage your practice—might be the most powerful spell of all.Charity is an established author in the fields of witchcraft and nature spirituality, with her works published by prominent publishers such as Union & Square (formerly Sterling Ethos) and Llewellyn.

With over 40 years of magical practice and more than 50 published books, Telesco brings authentic wisdom to the sacred art of kitchen witchery.The magic begins at the threshold—wiping your feet before entering the kitchen isn't just about cleanliness but about leaving negativity at the door. Your kitchen becomes a temple where wooden spoons become wands and soup pots transform into cauldrons. No need for elaborate tools or precise measurements; kitchen witchery thrives on intuition, authenticity, and mindful presence.Discover the layers of magic in Telesco's famous Five Onion Soup, where five different onions prepared five different ways create a symphony of texture, flavor, and intention. Learn how to cook with edible flowers, arrange food according to elemental correspondences, and align your meals with astrological energies.

Text the ShowStep into a world where crystals aren't just beautiful objects—they're conscious allies waiting to guide you on your spiritual journey. Jenny C Bell challenges mainstream crystal practices with a refreshing perspective: what if we approached crystals as sentient beings rather than tools to be programmed?Drawing from indigenous wisdom and her decades of experience, Jenny introduces us to the concept of "stone people"—crystal beings with personalities, wisdom, and healing gifts they're eager to share. This paradigm shift transforms how we relate to these ancient earth treasures. Rather than simply collecting crystals for their metaphysical properties, we're invited to build genuine relationships with them, just as we would with a trusted friend or mentor.The heart of Jenny's approach centers around six quartz varieties that serve as spirit guides: clear quartz, amethyst, rose quartz, smoky quartz, aventurine, and citrine. Each carries unique archetypal energy—from amethyst's connection to ancient Egyptian alchemy to smoky quartz's ability to bridge the worlds between living and ancestor realms. Through guided meditations, readers discover which crystal guide is specifically calling to work with them, often forming a lifetime spiritual partnership.What makes this approach so powerful is its accessibility. You don't need to be clairvoyant to communicate with crystal guides. As Jenny explains, intuitive information comes through various channels—feelings, sounds, colors, or simply knowing. The key is trusting whatever arises and approaching the relationship with openness and respect. Simple practices like breathing onto your crystal, creating playlists inspired by its energy, or taking it on adventures help deepen the connection.Ready to discover which crystal guide is waiting to connect with you?

In this enchanting conversation, Granddaughter Crow welcomes Nikki Wardwell Sleath—occultist, author, and direct descendant of Samuel Wardwell who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials—to explore the transformative practice of dream sorcery.Nikki unveils the true meaning of occultism as the study of hidden mysteries, challenging negative stereotypes and emphasizing how this knowledge can be practically applied in our daily lives. She explains why building authentic relationships with deities and energies is essential for effective magical practice—comparing it to developing friendships rather than making transactional demands of strangers.The heart of their discussion centers around dreams as gateways to expanded consciousness.

She shares remarkable experiences of precognitive dreaming and collective dream divination that demonstrate the transpersonal nature of dream consciousness.Listeners will discover the revolutionary concept of creating "magical neural pathways" through lucid dreaming—becoming fully aware while dreaming—which enhances magical abilities even in waking life.

Text the ShowHave you ever felt a deep connection with a tree, or noticed how birds seem to be talking about you as you walk through the forest? In this intimate conversation with host Jenny C Bell, Granddaughter Crow reveals the profound wisdom behind her bestselling book, "Wisdom of the Natural World: Spiritual and Practical Teachings from Plants, Animals and Mother Earth."Through captivating storytelling, Granddaughter Crow shares the fundamental difference between perceiving nature as separate components versus experiencing it as an interconnected living system. She recounts how her Navajo father explained this distinction: English speakers tend to analyze a tree by labeling its parts, while Navajo speakers seek connection with the tree, observing how the same wind moves both the leaves and their hair—recognizing a shared spirit.This conversation couldn't be more timely. As many struggle with feelings of disconnection and loneliness, Granddaughter Crow offers a revolutionary perspective: we are never truly alone because nature is constantly aware of us. The birds calling to announce our approach, the tree sensing our touch, the fox revealing itself on a hike—these aren't random occurrences but conscious exchanges with beings that acknowledge our presence.Beyond spiritual insights, she provides practical applications for relationships and work environments. By understanding ourselves and others through animal characteristics—the visionary crow, the grounded wolf, the independent cat, or the territorial spider—we gain frameworks for appreciating different behaviors without judgment. These perspectives can transform everything from romantic partnerships to workplace dynamics, helping us celebrate our differences rather than trying to change one another.What makes this wisdom so accessible is that it doesn't require specialized spiritual knowledge—it's simply about reconnecting with something all our ancestors understood. As Granddaughter Crow reminds us through the Navajo Beauty Way prayer: "Beauty walks before me, behind me, above me, to my left, to my right, and within me, for I am beauty."

Text the ShowAre you a highly sensitive person seeking to understand your gifts in a new light? Dr. Reverend Laura Palmer's groundbreaking book "Celebrating Sensitives" offers a fresh perspective that might just change how you see yourself. In this illuminating conversation with Granddaughter Crow, Palmer reveals how the trait of high sensitivity has shaped influential historical figures long before the term was coined in the 1990s.Palmer takes us on a journey through history, showing how figures like Nikola Tesla, whose sensitivity was so acute he could hear a pocket watch ticking three doors down, channeled his gifts into world-changing inventions. She shares the surprising story of Eleanor Roosevelt, who created meditation spaces in both the White House and United Nations, demonstrating how sensitivity can enhance leadership rather than hinder it. Even Abraham Lincoln exhibited the classic traits of a highly sensitive person, using his empathy and emotional intelligence to guide the nation through its darkest hours.What truly sets this discussion apart is Palmer's courage in addressing the "less than lovable" sensitives throughout history. With profound insight, she explores how figures like Stalin and Machiavelli began their lives with artistic and spiritual sensitivities before trauma led them down darker paths. This balanced view reminds us that sensitivity itself is neutral—it's what we choose to do with our gifts that defines us.Whether you're a highly sensitive person seeking validation, someone who loves or works with HSPs, or simply fascinated by history through a new lens, this episode offers fresh perspectives that will expand your understanding of sensitivity as a powerful force throughout human civilization.

Text the ShowAmidst global uncertainty and social division, finding authentic spiritual connection has never been more vital. Cheryl Ramsey, founder and intuitive healer at Soul Inspiration LLC, offers a sanctuary of wisdom and community-centered healing that transforms lives by honoring both ancient knowledge and modern spiritual needs.The conversation opens with a remarkable revelation as Cheryl shares her profound connection to Queen Nefertiti—not merely as inspiration, but as a past life she vividly remembers through meditation and a transformative journey to Egypt. "As soon as we landed and my feet touched that ground, I was spinning the whole time," she explains, describing how ancient memories flooded back, guiding her current spiritual mission. This past-life wisdom now shapes her approach to Soul Inspiration, where Nefertiti's image serves as the shop's emblem, representing divine feminine power and family-centered spirituality.With nearly 400 different crystals, countless books, oracle decks, and classes ranging from Reiki to shamanic medicine wheel work, Soul Inspiration offers numerous pathways for spiritual exploration. But what truly sets Cheryl's approach apart is her emphasis on creating genuine community. Her upcoming women's support group addresses a critical void: "We've been under the rule of the divine masculine for so long that we've been battling each other instead of supporting each other," she notes, highlighting the need for women to gather in collective healing rather than competition.Perhaps the most powerful message emerges when discussing today's chaotic world climate. "Unplug and go within," Cheryl advises. "The answers are with you. You just have to find them." She explains how global turmoil reflects our inner imbalance, and how simplicity—not complexity—leads to spiritual breakthrough. "Spirit has always told me it is so simple. Humans make it harder because we overthink everything." This wisdom reminds us that our spiritual journey needn't be complicated; sometimes lighting a candle and sitting in silence reveals more than endless seeking.Ready to explore your spiritual path in a judgment-free, supportive environment?

Text the ShowA year ago today, what began as a casual Zoom call to promote a book transformed into something magical when intuitive author Melanie Barnum uttered these simple words: "That was a podcast." Today, we celebrate the first anniversary of Belief, Being and Beyond by bringing the conversation full circle with the very person who sparked it all.The synchronicity feels electric as Melanie and I reflect on how divine timing works through intuitive nudges. Melanie shares her own remarkable journey from corporate controller to internationally acclaimed intuitive, describing the moment she heard the unmistakable directive: "You need to do this work now" while holding her newborn child. Despite initial resistance, she followed that spiritual calling, eventually authoring nine books and developing a thriving intuitive practice spanning nearly three decades.We explore the concept of intuitive "flare-ups" – those goosebump moments when your psychic abilities heighten and undeniable validation arrives. Both of us emphasize the importance of journaling these experiences to create what I call a "personal psychic dictionary" – your unique symbolic language with spirit. Melanie explains how something as ordinary as a baseball diamond becomes a profound message from her mother, demonstrating how deeply personal our intuitive language can be.For those beginning their intuitive journey or feeling stuck by self-doubt (which I describe as "the arch nemesis of the magician"), we offer practical starting points: light a candle, sit in silence, journal your experiences, and most importantly, take action on the guidance you receive. As Melanie wisely notes, "If it resonates with you, then it's good for you." Not everyone is meant to become a professional psychic, but we all have intuitive gifts waiting to be recognized and honored.As we launch into our second year, I invite you to text the show with topics you'd like explored, questions you're curious about, or feedback on what resonates most deeply. Join us as we continue bringing great people to great people, exploring belief systems, and remembering there's always something more beyond.Support the showGranddaughter Crow - www.granddaughtercrow.com Check Out My Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow Check Out My Substackhttps://substack.com/@granddaughtercrowSocial Media: @GranddaughterCrow  YouTube Channel: @GranddaughterCrowJenny C Bell - https://www.jennycbell.com/Jenny’s Our Coven Communityhttps://our-coven.mn.co/landingFor more from Jenny:https://linktr.ee/Jennyc.bell?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=ba12a9e9-bd17-4699-9e70-68c74fb3c96f
