Rise Up and Raise Hell

Second episode, rereleased!

Major Trigger Warnings Ahead! Addiction, drug use/abuse, sexual abuse, childhood trauma, physical violence, etc are mentioned and lightly discussed. The second half of the episode tackles these moreso than the first half, which only talks about my personal family struggles with drug addiction. There is a song in the middle to separate the two parts, so you can skip through. It's not that heavy, though Caitlyn discusses her ex abusing her (the things he did) briefly.  The song is by the amazingly talented Brooklynn, a black witch and artist in Atlanta who makes spiritual tools, amazing art, music, music videos and photography. You can find all her music on Spotify, YouTube, and iTunes; follow her on IG @brooklynnmusic and brooklynnmusic.com and shop her witchy wares at bebevaudou.com! Other than that, we discuss the way toxic relationships and a lack of boundaries leads to a lack of restorative justice, and how that is reflected within our own interpersonal lives and relationships and the larger stage of American politics and the Capitol Riots on January 6th. We also talk about how much Arianna hates Lana Del Rey and Caitlyn hasn't had a lid on anything in her life, including the lid to her coolant in her car.  As always, we can be reached at [email protected] and @riseupandraisehell on IG or [email protected] or @notyourbasicwitch on IG as well. 

Yule Special! 

Caitlyn and I deep dive into conspiracy theories, QAnon's belief about the elite and their child abuse "Satanic" rituals, what makes a believable conspiracy theory?; how capitalism acts as an abusive, toxic relationship, and should the Left get guns? How do we feel about violence vs non violent actions against the State? Should we vote Blue No Matter Who, or third party? How we can be spiritually aligned within Leftist spaces; and, most importantly, what's the difference between a photo in underwear vs a photo in a bikini?! Enjoy this relaxed chat/rant session, but also! CW: pedophilia, r*pe, child abuse, abuse, trauma, QAnon, Tr*mp, guns, suicide, violence in general.

Arianna solo lecture! Caitlyn and I haven't been able to do much with "all of the stuff going on." Anyway, here's some info on various Goddess-worshipping cults in ancient times. Very non-exhaustive. Just a few from a magazine of Nat Geo I had to correct. There's a usurping Apollo, a gender-bend Pluto, and I'm smashing your pretty stories about Persephone being the Maiden, and introducing Kore, who no one ever talks about, but was the OG Goddess. I also discuss all the magical properties of the number Nine, as promised.  IG: @riseupandraisehell or @notyourbasicwitch Email: [email protected] [email protected] (Tarot Readings, Intuitive DBT Cert Counseling).  Patreon at Rise Up and Raise Hell for cool shit we should prob take photos of, but ugh. 

A nice chat about what we thought about the show. Obviously, spoiler alerts!  Overall, we loved it! Super fun to watch. It didn’t feel like a part of the typical mass media produced exploitive, “witchy aesthetic” culture. Very fourth wave feminism--but no cellphones or mention of social media. Another thing which I found super refreshing. Are you Team Nick or Team Harvey? Wanted more of Inverted Savior Sabrina, but what about Issues of white saviorism?

Arianna and Caitlyn are here with the official first episode of Season 2! It's kind of a redux of everything we've talked about before, quickly going over history of matriarchy, patriarchy, capitalism, and Christianity.  Rate and review and follow us on iTunes, Spotify, and everywhere else. Share with your friends if you don't hate it!

Heya! Just Arianna today. Caitlyn was indisposed. I can't pronounce anything. I'm sorry. There is so much more to talk about concerning werewolves, but after three weeks, I was honestly ready to wrap it up and approach the subject from a different angle.
