    Breaks are Signs of Evolution - Part 1

    In this exciting kick off of Season 4 hosts Jennifer Taylor and Tava Baird dive deep into the understandings of &apos;edge states&apos; and the evolution of our soul.  It begins with a brief discussion of Samael and Archangel Michael&apos;s &quot;spirit crowd control plan&quot; for how they will balance the needs of the spirits with those of the embodied participants in the upcoming Power of Story event held in a mausoleum.  Interestingly enough, the answer for this conundrum comes back around at the end - weaving its wisdom into how we might manage various aspects of ourselves that seem incongruous.  Many revelations are made -including Samael&apos;s sharing of a second level teaching in Lilithian philosophy.  A frequent occurrence in Jenn&apos;s energetic healing sessions (which Samael calls &quot;incarnations&quot;) is explained in more detail by Samael, shedding light onto how one might reframe difficult life events in a way that fosters greater wholeness.    Season 4 starts off with a bang! You won&apos;t want to miss it.   Resources:Refuge in the Storm - channeled song at the end of the podcast - an energetic transmission of divine support through a collaboration between the Spirits of Place, Archangel Michael and Samael.  Downloadable through the link below:https://amnivara.bandcamp.com/track/refuge-in-the-stormPlease remember this podcast is for inspiration, reflection, and entertainment only, and is not medical, psychological, or professional advice.We are two friends sharing personal experiences and evolving perspectives as we learn and grow.

    Among Ghosts and Angels: Standing your Ground (Part 2)

    In this exciting second part of our conversation from last week, hosts Jennifer Taylor and Tava Baird share the full experience of Jenn&apos;s first visit to the historic and quite haunted, Blue Ball Inn.  Not your typical paranormal investigation style podcast - this discussion  reveals  Tava&apos;s deeper understandings of, and ongoing relationships with, the resident ghosts; demonstrates acts of service and support of the spirits&apos; personal spiritual work, and provides insights into the reason why some spirits may choose to remain on the earth plane rather than crossing over from Samael&apos;s perspective. From crackling walls, moving dolls and ghost preachers this episode has it all! While the experiences are sensational, the lessons learned and insights gained speak deeply to the effects of carrying around shame and self deprecating patterns, and how they can continue into the afterlife.   Jenn and Tava&apos;s experiences with the disembodied residents are equally surprising, enlightening and entertaining.  Aside from pure fun and interest,  there are lots of little gems of information and inspiration including ways of maintaining your sovereignty in highly energetic spaces; care and feeding of the disembodied, ways of offering compassion to both yourself and those on the other side, and more.  This is sure to be a favorite episode!00:00 Part Two Setup04:34 Arriving at the Inn04:58 Foyer Energy Shift07:58 Introductions and Boundaries09:49 Spirits on Best Behavior10:44 Upstairs Threat Map12:32 Meeting McMillan Doll14:51 House Comes Alive18:37 Gate Room Wings Out23:09 Dolls Chatter and Knocking25:12 Pastor Michael Backstory26:32 Pastor Spirit Profile28:07 Jen Offers a Hymn30:51 Old Rugged Cross Glitch33:25 Shame Spiral Explained37:22 Walking to the Gate41:04 Deal to Return Singing43:08 Up to the Attic Kids45:36 Teaching Songs to Spirits47:58 Pied Piper Exit50:07 Closing Thanks and Song53:58 Sovereignty SendoffWant to visit, volunteer, join the archeology teams or support the restoration and preservation of the Blue Ball Inn discussed in this episode?  Find out more about the Blue Ball Inn, Brucetown, VA:https://bbi1747.com/Please remember this podcast is for inspiration, reflection, and entertainment only, and is not medical, psychological, or professional advice.We are two friends sharing personal experiences and evolving perspectives as we learn and grow.

Tava explains her process of welcoming spirits, using music to feed visiting souls, and the physical and energetic restoration of dolls. Channeled song from Michael and a message from Samael introduce redefining holiness as active protection, unity, and raising one’s voice.

    Part 2 - Azrael and The Poet: Jennifer Jurlando on Grief, Death Care and Being Alive

    In this powerful continuation, hosts Jennifer Taylor and Tava Baird welcome back poet and death worker Jennifer Jurlando for a conversation weaving grief, embodiment, and the sacred act of becoming. The episode opens in sacred space with an intuitive song transmission inspired by becoming—not as a moment, but as a process shaped by loss, transformation, and lived experience.Through Samael’s channeled perspective, listeners are offered a profound reframe of death—not as an ending, but as a passage worthy of celebration, music, and remembrance. The conversation gently explores the coexistence of sorrow and joy, and the permission to hold both.Jennifer Jurlando shares stunning original poetry, including “Dear Champion” and “Wild,” each illuminating the raw, hard-won nature of becoming. In “Embodied,” she offers a sweeping reflection on incarnation itself, featuring divine voices such as Samael, Michael and Azrael, and revealing the miracle of being alive in a human body.Moving seamlessly between depth and laughter, the episode touches on grief,  storytelling, the beauty of shared memory, and the unexpected sacredness woven into everyday life.This is a reminder that we are not here to transcend the human experience—but to fully inhabit it.Resources:Patreon Link- https://www.patreon.com/c/jenniferjurlandoThistle Community Death Care: http://www.thistlecommunitydeathcare.com/Chesterfield Poetry Collective - www.chesterfieldpoetry.com Full Circle Grief Center  www.fullcirclegc.org Events-  Wilder Grove Workshop, April 4- https://www.wildergrove.com/event-details/reclaiming-death-rites-end-of-life-ritual-planningFertile Ground - Ritual in Effigy: Mortality and Transformation, April 30-May 3 https://www.fertilegroundgathering.com/workshopsChesterfield Library Events - May 14, Death Doula PanelJune 28 Mock Funeral at the Blue Ball Inn https://www.tavabaird.com/event-details/the-darkflower-collective-mock-pagan-funeralPlease remember this podcast is for inspiration, reflection, and entertainment only, and is not medical, psychological, or professional advice.We are two friends sharing personal experiences and evolving perspectives as we learn and grow.

    Azrael and the Poet: Jennifer Jurlando on Grief, Death Care, and Being Alive

    Azrael and the Poet: Jennifer Jurlando on Grief, Death Care, and Being AliveIn this deeply moving first half of a two-part conversation, hosts Jennifer Taylor and Tava Baird welcome their dear friend Mystical Musing fan, Jennifer Jurlando. Jurlando is a poet, grief support facilitator, death doula, bonecaster and founder of Thistle Community Death Care. In this rich and tender episode, the conversation explores grief, mortality, ritual, embodiment, and the profound ways that contemplating death can deepen one’s experience of being alive. Azrael — the angel of death, transition, and transformation — and Jurlando’s long relationship with this presence, both personally and through her work with the dying and the bereaved are discussed. Samael shares his unique perspective on Azrael, offering a rare and compelling reflection that many longtime followers of the podcast will not want to miss.  Throughout the episode, Jurlando shares several of her own poems, bringing language and tenderness to places that often feel beyond words. Her reflections on loss, the body, grief, ritual, and the sacredness of end-of-life care offer both depth and beauty, while also illuminating the heart behind her work.  This conversation includes discussion of stillbirth, grief, death, and end-of-life planning, but it is also filled with warmth, humor, reverence, and a powerful appreciation for life itself.Content note: This episode includes discussion of grief, stillbirth, death, and end-of-life care.Resources:Patreon Link- https://www.patreon.com/c/jenniferjurlandoThistle Community Death Care: http://www.thistlecommunitydeathcare.com/Chesterfield Poetry Collective - www.chesterfieldpoetry.com Full Circle Grief Center  www.fullcirclegc.org Events-  Wilder Grove Workshop, April 4- https://www.wildergrove.com/event-details/reclaiming-death-rites-end-of-life-ritual-planningFertile Ground - Ritual in Effigy: Mortality and Transformation, April 30-May 3 https://www.fertilegroundgathering.com/workshopsChesterfield Library Events - May 14, Death Doula PanelJune 28 Mock Funeral at the Blue Ball Inn https://www.tavabaird.com/event-details/the-darkflower-collective-mock-pagan-funeralPlease remember this podcast is for inspiration, reflection, and entertainment only, and is not medical, psychological, or professional advice.We are two friends sharing personal experiences and evolving perspectives as we learn and grow.

    Letting Yourself Fall: The Caretaking Overdrive

    Tava Baird and Jennifer Taylor discuss recent weekends spent receiving guidance: Tava attended the Sacred Space/Between the Worlds Pagan conference in Maryland, praising its advanced classes, rituals, vendors, and community, while Jennifer used a hotel retreat to clarify how Amnivara will be offered. They explore the theme of “falling” as choosing to let responsibilities drop, accept help, and allow others to find their wings, contrasting this with misreading urgency and over-functioning as caretaker. Tava shares the growth of Samael and Lilith&apos;s work,  and balancing authenticity with scale. Jennifer&apos;s channeled music and Samuel’s messages emphasize worthiness of rest, choosing retreat as reorganizing energy, and pilgrimage to one’s inner holy place. They plan personal retreats and invite listeners to do the same.Please remember this podcast is for inspiration, reflection, and entertainment only, and is not medical, psychological, or professional advice.We are two friends sharing personal experiences and evolving perspectives as we learn and grow.

    Holy Fire Reiki Healing Spirit Attachments, Chaos Angels and More - Part 3

    In this final part of a three-part Mystical Musings Podcast conversation on spirit attachments, the hosts discuss common everyday attachments and energetic “baggage,” how repeated spirit-release clearing helped sharpen discernment, and symptoms such as intrusive judgmental thoughts, resistance to healthy practices, and addiction-related voices. They contrast unconscious energies (residual stories, trauma patterns, and internalized beliefs like purity/perfection) with conscious spirit attachments that may seek attention, company, or energy, emphasizing sovereignty, boundary-setting, and compassionate release rather than fear. They explore thought forms and collective energies that can coalesce from repeated emotions, including examples like fear around a bridge and widespread COVID-era fear. Practical approaches include playing music, smoke cleansing, water immersion, calling in divine help (notably Archangel Michael), and treating spirits ethically while insisting harmful energies move on. The episode closes with a blessing attributed to Samael affirming personal worth and choice.00:00 Welcome And Clearing Song04:39 Everyday Attachments Signs05:34 Reiki Spirit Release Routine07:37 Addiction Pattern Entities09:24 Unconscious Energy Stories14:22 Purity Myth And Sin16:42 Conscious Attachments Sovereignty18:54 Boundaries With Spirits23:57 Thought Forms Collective Fear29:18 Residual Energy In Places32:25 Invite Spirits to Move On35:11 Gates Music and Michael36:37 Different Work Same Goal38:05 Love Over Fear Approach40:27 Doll Shelter Stories41:44 Holly and the Skittles Sound44:01 Language and Spirit Types45:31 Delegating to Higher Help48:10 Words Remove Fear50:18 Bells and Final BlessingPlease remember this podcast is for inspiration, reflection, and entertainment only, and is not medical, psychological, or professional advice.We are two friends sharing personal experiences and evolving perspectives as we learn and grow.

    Holy Fire Reiki Healing Spirit Attachments, Chaos Angels and More- Part 2

    Chaos Angels, Pain Nexus, and Trust: Reiki as Order in a Spiritual StormIn part two of Mystical Musings Podcast, the host continues last week’s story with Tava retelling events from Samael’s perspective and introduces an advanced Lilith-related teaching called “Chaos Angel”. Samael explains how childhood trauma and living in an “edge state” can create a specific type of chaos angel called a “pain nexus,” . The conversation details how Reiki, calling in light as a gate to the divine, and the stabilizing force of Michael’s order can feed and balance these energies so they can regain choice and move on. They emphasize that the key to the healing was trust, which allowed the energy work to enter and prevented the chaos angel from growing into destructive madness that could have overtaken the family. The episode also explores voluntary versus involuntary “mediums of transport,” ethics of spirit release in people versus places like the Blue Ball Inn, and the difference between offering light and forcibly expelling spirits who may be doing their own work. The episode closes by offering the “Peace and Release” spirit release recording, available free on Amnivara.com with a Bandcamp link for higher-quality streaming or download.00:00 Welcome Back: Part 2 Setup + Gong Song to Set the Stage06:00 Introducing the ‘Chaos Angel’ Concept (Advanced Lilith Class)06:38 Why Traumatized Children Are Extra Sensitive: Psychic Openness, Dolls &amp; Spirits09:44 Edge States Explained: Trauma, Dissociation, and Living Outside the Body11:18 Pain Nexus: Like Attracts Like &amp; Entities Drawn to Her Energy12:46 What a Chaos Angel Sounds Like: Malfunctioning Gates, Overlapping Realities15:52 Types of Entities in the Nexus: Locked Ghosts vs. Hungry, Talking Spirits18:13 Calling in Order: Why Michael’s Energy Stabilizes the Chaos20:51 Reiki + Light as a Gate: Feeding Fragments and Opening Portals Safely23:02 Long-Term Balance Plan: Physical + Metaphysical Practices to Prevent Return24:58 You Tamed a Chaos Angel: Why Empowering Her with Recordings Worked30:45 When It Turns Dangerous: Escalation, Residential Treatment, and Family Recovery33:45 Trust as the Real Key to Spirit Relief (and Why It Worked)36:41 Mediums of Transport: Voluntary vs. Involuntary &amp; a Dream of Souls in Transition39:59 Chaos Angels, Shifting Realities, and When to Call the Heavy Hitters43:28 Spirit House Lessons: Identifying Energies &amp; the ‘Snickers’ Approach to Hungry Spirits49:22 Ethics of Spirit Release: Offering Light Without Forcing Anyone Out55:09 Blue Ball Inn Case Study: Why ‘Clearing the House’ Backfired &amp; How Balance Was Restored58:35 What a Chaos Angel Really Is: Putting thPlease remember this podcast is for inspiration, reflection, and entertainment only, and is not medical, psychological, or professional advice.We are two friends sharing personal experiences and evolving perspectives as we learn and grow.
