The Alchemist's Inkwell

Books are more than entertainment — sometimes they are comfort, escape, healing, identity work, and the thing that helps us get through real life.In this Bookend Edition of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about what they are reading, why fiction can be a healing modality, the comfort of returning to beloved stories, audiobook pacing, ADHD listening speeds, ancient Rome family trees, ancestry, millennial theme songs, and whether money really can change your happiness.This episode is cozy, chaotic, bookish, and deeply honest about why stories matter when life feels like too much.Tell us in the comments: what are you reading right now?#Books #BookTube #Fiction #Reading #CozyFantasy #Audiobooks #TheAlchemistsInkwell #BookPodcast #Storytelling #MagicCHAPTERS00:00 Fiction as a Healing Modality00:24 Welcome to the Bookend Edition01:10 Why Stories Help Us Process Real Life01:48 KristaLyn’s Reading Month03:12 Manga, Mythology, Astrology, and Book Club Picks04:43 Emily’s Comfort Reread05:32 Dungeon Crawler Carl and Political Fiction07:21 Audiobook Speed and ADHD Brains08:33 Recording the Lacusta Audiobook10:20 Meditation Voice and Slowing Down11:28 The Ancient Rome Family Tree Problem13:09 How Far Back Can You Trace Your Family Tree?14:20 Emily’s Norwegian and Viking Ancestry18:09 KristaLyn’s Family History20:22 Ancestors, Names, and Choosing What to Carry22:22 What Is the Theme Song of Millennials?24:24 Would Winning the Lottery Change Your Happiness?26:43 What We Would Do With Lottery Money28:02 Tell Us What You’re Reading29:00 Go Make Some MagicChapters — Adjusted for Your 24-Second HookJoin our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

America is turning 250, and the astrology around this moment is intense.In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn look at the astrology surrounding America’s 250th birthday, including Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and the larger 2026–2028 energetic pattern sometimes called Barbault’s Basket.What starts as a conversation about predictions quickly becomes a bigger discussion about freedom, collapse, technology, AI, billionaires, climate, community, the Constitution, Fourth of July mythology, and what might come after the old version of America stops working.Is this a moment of crisis, awakening, rebellion, or rebuilding? Maybe all of it.By the end, they pull cards for America’s 250th birthday and explore how to stay grounded, protect your peace, reclaim real freedom, and imagine what comes next.CHAPTERS:00:00 Hook00:30 Welcome to The Alchemist Inkwell00:38 Why this astrology has been anticipated for years01:05 Barbault’s Basket and the major 2026–2028 prediction02:01 Is this really one of the best parts of the century?03:19 Saturn, Neptune, and questioning “altruistic” technology04:44 Uranus, Pluto, rebellion, revolution, and progress05:12 July 4 astrology: Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini06:16 The two-year societal pressure point08:03 AI, data centers, and when technology stops being altruistic10:52 Was Barbault too optimistic about the internet?12:32 The future we were promised vs. the future we got15:03 Infrastructure, quality of life, and billionaire greed16:12 Why billionaires are afraid17:17 Political spectacle, UFC, and power grabs18:00 America’s 250th anniversary and the struggling experiment19:52 Climate, “point of no return,” and faith in Earth21:42 Why 250 years matters for empires22:39 Fragile systems, the Electoral College, and trust23:25 The Constitution was designed to be revised23:54 The fading ink of the Constitution24:39 Playing by rules that power already abandoned25:50 Fake rebellion, fawning, and loud bullies27:14 July 4th without the usual patriotism28:30 Growing up around Fourth of July mythology31:22 The community side of July 4th34:26 Celebrating community without buying the myth35:36 Pulling cards for America’s 250th birthday37:50 King of Cups: emotional maturity and mindfulness38:44 Four of Cups reversed: boundaries and refusing invitations39:48 Dionysus, Uranus, and freedom40:14 We were sold freedom that wasn’t real41:08 Taking responsibility and reclaiming power42:30 The revolution and what comes after43:34 Omens, safety, and community44:21 Closing: go make some magic#Astrology #America250 #FourthOfJuly #SpiritualPodcast #UranusInGeminiJoin our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

Today on What in the Woo-Woo, we’re reading two spiritual Reddit AITA stories about tarot, psychics, astrology, relationship boundaries, and what happens when people use “the universe” to avoid having an actual conversation.First: someone gives a tarot reading to a friend she has feelings for… and then lies when the cards suggest he may not end up with his girlfriend.Then: a boyfriend refuses to go to a psychic after his girlfriend starts making their whole relationship revolve around crystals, astrology, and spiritual excuses for rude behavior.Is it spiritual guidance, emotional avoidance, or just two people who should probably be single for a while?Let us know what you think in the comments.#SpiritualReddit #TarotReading #AITACHAPTERS:00:00 Cold Open: The Tarot Reading Got Awkward00:30 Welcome to What in the Woo-Woo01:34 Spiritual Reddit AITA Begins02:04 Greece, Germany, and Spooky Travel Plans03:53 AITA: Lying About a Tarot Reading05:45 The Future Card Said Something Unexpected06:52 The Real Problem: No Reading Boundaries07:45 Tarot Ethics, Love Readings, and Free Will09:16 Why We Don’t Do “Stay or Go” Readings10:04 Say What You See11:01 No Assholes, Just Immaturity11:23 Talk About Feelings, Not Tarot11:59 AITA: Refusing to See a Psychic13:31 “I Don’t Think You Guys Should Be Dating”14:05 Astrology Is Not Permission to Be Rude14:40 Why Push Him Toward a Psychic?15:23 Magic Doesn’t Need Your Belief16:19 Grounded Spirituality vs. Social Media Spirituality16:51 Respectfully, Be Single17:31 Don’t Trap Yourself18:36 Incompatibility Makes You Act Unlike Yourself19:36 Final Thoughts: Go Make Some Magic

Mercury Retrograde is back, but this one is not just about broken phones, delayed flights, and miscommunication. This Mercury retrograde in Cancer is bringing up old feelings, unfinished emotional business, mental clutter, and the parts of ourselves we may have been avoiding.In this episode of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about why this retrograde feels more emotional than usual, how to close the “mental tabs” that are draining you, why crying in public should not be shameful, and how singing, creativity, and weird little life choices can help move stuck energy.This is not a fear-based Mercury retrograde episode. This is a “feel it, process it, sing through it, and let your life get a little weirder” episode.Go make some magic.CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome to Mercury Preprograde00:58 Mercury Retrograde in Cancer02:24 Emotional cages, Saturn, and old wounds03:07 Why this retrograde has one clear story arc04:02 Communication, the body, and emotional systems04:52 Mercury shadow period explained05:49 You are not supposed to get it right the first time06:10 Crying in public and releasing shame07:02 How to actually feel your feelings07:27 Closing your mental tabs08:49 Who may feel this retrograde the most10:11 Big emotional choices and life changes11:17 Liberating yourself during Mercury Retrograde12:31 Let yourself hit the refresh button13:47 Let your life be weird14:56 Singing, spirituality, and moving energy15:30 When in doubt, sing it out16:22 Travel, timing, and Mercury stationing17:14 Everyone has to deal with Mercury Retrograde18:41 Billionaires, public beaches, and rebellious energy19:34 The revolution has already begun21:00 Shield your screens and protect your energy22:25 Greece travel plans and Pirate Boat Day24:49 Sundress struggles and travel wardrobe chaos26:18 Swimsuit shopping and teenage fashion27:28 Why this Mercury Retrograde is manageable28:20 What are your Mercury Retrograde plans?29:02 Travel chaos and Mercury Retrograde stories30:41 The first retrograde of the astrological year31:03 Creativity, “why not me?” energy, and closing thoughts#MercuryRetrograde #AstrologyPodcast #SpiritualPodcast #MercuryRetrograde2026 #Astrology #Spirituality #EnergyWork #CancerSeason #EmotionalHealing #GoMakeSomeMagic

Welcome back to The Alchemist’s Inkwell: Woo Woo Edition — where we read spiritual Reddit AITA stories and ask the important questions: are they actually wrong, or is everyone just being weird?This week, we’re talking about Catholic school, ghost conversations with kids, spiritual therapy, shamanic astrology buzzwords, religious trauma, Amazon ghost-hunting kits, and one husband who apparently wants to become an exorcist.Because being open-minded does not mean believing everything.And being spiritual does not mean letting people manipulate you with “faith,” “intuition,” or a ghost-hunting kit they bought online.In this episode:We react to a parent worried about supernatural talk around her kids.We unpack whether a spiritual therapist’s approach feels grounded or like a pile of buzzwords.We talk about religious trauma, relationships, exorcism, and what happens when spirituality crosses a boundary.And yes — some opinions are just wrong.CHAPTERS:00:00 Hook Preview00:30 Welcome to Woo Woo Edition01:24 Spiritual Reddit AITA as an intuition exercise02:08 Catholic school, ghosts, and family dynamics04:51 Is the free babysitting worth protecting?06:27 Religious shame culture and fear of other beliefs07:35 If your belief system is strong, questions shouldn’t destroy it09:20 Wanting approval from religious institutions10:45 Was the parent actually looking for a reason to criticize?11:43 “Holy walnut” and Hermes the hamster12:08 Spiritual therapy, astrology, and mental health14:45 Therapy is personal — and fit matters15:39 Choosing a therapist you can actually trust16:06 Spiritual buzzwords and professional red flags17:40 Is the friend projecting?18:31 Finding therapists who are spiritually open but still grounded19:36 The ethics problem with spiritual credentials20:04 What kind of shaman are we talking about?21:34 Lineage, closed practices, and spiritual accountability22:25 The Amazon exorcist husband story24:46 Religious trauma and changing relationship dynamics26:40 Why unsupported exorcism is a serious boundary problem27:40 Trust, communication, and respect in relationships28:51 Is this faith, manipulation, or something more concerning?29:58 Everyone gets to have opinions — but not all opinions are harmless30:47 Some opinions are just wrong31:48 Go make some magicYouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠#SpiritualReddit #AITA #WooWoo #Spirituality #RedditStories #SpiritualPodcast #WitchyPodcast #ReligiousTrauma #GhostStories #SpiritualDiscernment #TheAlchemistsInkwell

In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about the magic of the Summer Solstice, Cancer season, dream work, ritual practices, timeline shifts, and how to check in with everything you’ve been manifesting since last year.The Summer Solstice is one of the major energetic turning points of the year, and this conversation explores how to work with that energy through dreams, divination, flower crowns, ritual outfits, dancing, drumming, spell jars, junk journal magic, plant care, natural water, and intentional manifestation.They also talk about why this solstice feels especially activated, what it means to focus on your own world without spiritually bypassing, and how to stop shutting yourself down when you ask for what you really want.If this season feels like a pivot point, this episode is your reminder to take stock of how far you’ve come, name what you want next, and go make some magic.What are you doing for the Solstice this year? 🌞Tell us what you’re manifesting, what ritual you’re trying, or what dreams have been coming through lately.Chapters:0:00 Intro / Hook0:30 Intro and recording-ahead disclaimer5:45 The astrology of the Summer Solstice7:56 Realizing they’ll be on Mount Olympus for the solstice9:25 Dream magic and solstice activation10:35 How to remember your dreams11:03 Imagination as the gateway to channeling11:26 Checking in on last year’s manifestations12:10 Flower crowns, sunlight, fairies, and solstice traditions13:32 Building your own world without bypassing14:09 Crowning your energy and ritual outfits15:51 Dancing, drumming, abundance jars, and physical ritual16:57 Plant care as solstice magic17:39 The solstice as a pivot point of the year18:35 Tools, traditions, and inviting magic into the real world19:17 Open vs. closed spiritual traditions20:55 Junk journal magic for the solstice22:53 Cooking, gardening, and seasonal ritual23:13 Natural water and giving thanks25:17 Manifest what you want and stop shutting yourself down25:49 Timeline shifts and glitchy energy27:37 Collective timeline shifts and social energy31:04 Looking back at what changed since last solstice32:17 KristaLyn’s growth, healing, and follow-through33:06 Emily’s publishing deal and major manifestations34:51 Health progress, treatment plans, and real-life magic35:47 Manifesting book success and podcast growth37:43 Greece trip schedule and podcast updates38:48 Go make some magic#SummerSolstice #SolsticeMagic #SpiritualPodcast #WitchyPodcast #AstrologyJoin our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

This week on What in the Woo-Woo, Emily and KristaLyn react to two Reddit stories about Reiki, tarot, skepticism, grief, boundaries, and spiritual consent.First, a grieving teenager is taken to a Reiki session by his mom after a rough year, but he becomes convinced the whole thing is fake after finding what he believes is a hidden speaker. Was he right to refuse another session, or was his mom just scared and trying to help?Then, a man loses it after his best friend’s girlfriend tries to give him a tarot reading in his own house after he already said no. Is he wrong for snapping, or was she crossing a line by pushing spiritual work onto someone who clearly didn’t want it?This episode is full of gray areas: skeptical teenagers, grieving parents, pushy tarot readers, bad communication, and the big question at the center of it all — what does consent look like in spiritual spaces?Tell us in the comments: who was wrong here?Go make some magic.#WhatInTheWooWoo #TarotReading #SpiritualConsent #RedditStories #TheAlchemistsInkwell00:00 Welcome to What in the Woo-Woo00:47 A Woo-Woo of Middles00:56 Reddit Stories With Gray Areas01:11 Share Your Opinions With Us01:56 Story One: Am I the A-Hole for Saying No to Reiki?02:59 A Grieving Teen Goes to Reiki04:39 The Hidden Speaker Problem05:08 Reiki, Energy Movement & Stomach Gurgles06:06 Do We Have an Unreliable Narrator?07:15 Spiritual Work You Don’t Want08:39 Reiki, Science & Skepticism09:30 Was the Practitioner the Problem?09:50 Grief, Fear & a Scared Mom10:47 Spiritual Consent Matters11:37 Verdict: No One’s Really the A-Hole11:50 Story Two: Forced Tarot Reading Drama12:05 Judging the Poster Immediately12:35 Astrology, Crystals & Friend Group Tension13:30 “Stop With This Shit and Get Real”14:21 Verdict: Everyone Sucks Here15:05 Bad Astrology Takes and Breakup Advice16:25 Partners, Friend Groups & Personal Space18:31 Never Push Someone Into a Reading18:53 Insecurity and Forcing Acceptance20:15 The Poster Is Also a Problem20:46 Everyone Failed at Communication21:13 Gemini Season Communication Lesson21:23 Patreon, Submissions & ClosingJoin our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

Yes, the astrology of the week has some beautiful, magical, benefic energy — but Saturn and Mars are also acting like hecklers in the background. So how do we let good things happen, celebrate joy, and stay connected to our own power without pretending everything is fine?Emily and KristaLyn also talk about Pride Month, spiritual travel, Greece, Delphi, asking your guides for validation, finding your values, and Emily’s official Locusta cover reveal.If you are trying to stay grounded, magical, politically aware, and emotionally alive at the same time, this episode is for you.Tell us in the comments: what good are you finding in the heavy right now?Go make some magic.00:00 Welcome to The Alchemist’s Inkwell00:24 Finding the Good in the Heavy00:36 Venus-Jupiter Conjunction in Cancer01:16 Pride Month, June Energy & a Special Reveal02:51 Thank You for 200,000 Streams03:57 The Astrology of the Most Magical Week05:35 Venus and Jupiter’s Wedding With Hecklers07:16 Saturn, Leadership & Broken Systems08:14 Good Things Can Still Happen in Hard Times09:48 Joy, Creation & Resistance11:32 Finding Personal Good in the Heavy13:00 Spiritual Travel, Greece & Mount Olympus14:23 Coffee Ground Divination15:35 Athens, the Acropolis & Ancient Sacred Sites16:32 Delphi, Prophecy & Know Thyself17:28 Santorini, Deity Work & Magical Travel20:38 Pride Month and Being Out Loud21:20 Emily’s Daughter Graduating Middle School22:38 Book Launch Season and Writing on Deadline23:40 Staying Engaged With the World25:33 Rejecting Black-and-White Thinking27:00 Celebrating Good While Fighting Bad28:22 Redemption Arcs, Growth & Ted Lasso30:24 Staying Curious Instead of Getting Angry31:26 Finding the Good Helps You Find Your Values32:03 Shame, Power & Defining Good for Yourself33:26 New Moon Validation Rituals35:10 Emily’s Locusta Cover Reveal Begins37:16 The Cover Reveal38:26 Locusta Lore Drops Are Coming39:05 What Good Are You Finding in the Bad?40:01 Upcoming Interviews & ClosingJoin our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠#TheAlchemistsInkwell #VenusJupiterConjunction #SpiritualSurvivalGuide #PrideMonth #NewMoonInGemini

This month’s spiritual book review turns into a cozy, chaotic, and deeply personal conversation about the books that helped us survive the month, the stories behind our tattoos, and the scars that made us who we are.Emily and Krista talk Dungeon Crawler Carl, Gilgamesh, Between Two Rivers, Witch Hat Atelier, healing through fiction, anti-capitalist book themes, Emily’s book going to print, and the weirdly sacred way stories stay with us. Then the episode shifts into tattoos, grief, spiritual symbolism, brain surgery scars, childhood injuries, barbed wire cow scars, and the memories our bodies carry.What books helped you this month?

The first half of 2026 was vibes. The second half is action.In this mid-year check-in, Emily and KristaLyn revisit their 2026 predictions and talk about what has already come true, what still feels like it’s building, and why this year has felt so slippery, chaotic, and impossible to fully grasp.They talk about 2026 as a Tower Card year, the Saturn-Neptune blur, propaganda and media discernment, the return of magic and physical media, financial instability, collective exhaustion, and why waiting for comfort is not the same thing as building a better future.This is a conversation about discomfort, community, action, astrology, and the very real spiritual work of not tapping out.Because no one else is coming.We save us.00:00 — Hook: The vibes are over, action begins00:26 — Welcome to the mid-year 2026 check-in01:23 — Why 2026 feels so slippery01:41 — Gemini rising and the mutable chaos of the year02:31 — 2026 as the Tower Card year03:00 — Breaking the bone to reset it correctly04:37 — “We save us.

Mars is not playing nice, and this Full Moon in Sagittarius is bringing big “rage against the status quo” energy.In this episode of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about the Full Moon in Sagittarius, Mars moving through Taurus, collective frustration, physical release, broken systems, spiritual rage, and what it actually means to embody magic instead of just believing in it.This is an episode for anyone feeling restless, angry, activated, or ready to move something out of their body and their life.

Excuse our delay in posting, tech hates us! This Taurus New Moon was supposed to feel grounding, abundant, and stable…Instead, it feels like feminine rage.In this episode of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn explore the astrology behind this emotionally charged New Moon, including the ancient fixed star Algol — historically associated with Medusa, Lilith archetypes, and even “the pile of corpses.”We talk about:✦ feminine rage & emotional suppression✦ why anger is not inherently bad✦ spiritual bypassing vs authentic transformation✦ the hidden cost of magic & manifestation✦ calculated rage vs explosive rage✦ Taurus New Moon astrology✦ Algol mythology & fixed star lore✦ shadow work, boundaries, and emotional truth✦ tarot guidance for navigating this energyThis isn’t about blind anger.It’s about listening to what your emotions are trying to reveal. We are your spiritual podcast for grounded people.⟡ New episodes every week⟡ Live streams on Fridays⟡ “What in the Woo Woo” episodes every Wednesday Subscribe & turn on notifications so you don’t miss future episodes.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠  / likerofwords  ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠  / likerofwords⁠⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠   / @likerofwords  Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords...Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠  / kristalynsofia  ⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠  / ⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠   / @kristalynsofia   ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsof... ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

Three Reddit posters think they did nothing wrong. Two psychics have thoughts.This week on What in the Woo Woo — a 19 year old Gemini gets called manipulative by her aunt who refuses to see a Gemini doctor, a man questions whether his sister is joining a cult by marrying Jesus as a consecrated virgin, and a boyfriend leaves his girlfriend's family reunion after her uncle tried to hypnotize him into becoming a duck. His cousin threw sourdough at his head and yelled "you dishonor the pond."We are not making any of this up.Emily and KristaLyn break down sun sign astrology and why judging people by their sun sign alone is historically a patriarchal oversimplification, the ancient Catholic practice of consecrated virginity and what it actually means, and why hypnosis is genuinely powerful and absolutely nothing like Uncle Greg.New episodes every Monday — subscribe so you don't miss them.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠  / likerofwords  ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠  / likerofwords⁠⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠   / @likerofwords  Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords...Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠  / kristalynsofia  ⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠  / ⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠   / @kristalynsofia   ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsof... ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

We had Machu Picchu to ourselves at sunset. That part we planned. What happened on the mountain was not planned at all.Four people in our group independently saw and heard a shaman on Machu Picchu Mountain — in the mist, near the top. There was one way up and one way down. He wasn't physically there. And yet four of us saw him.This is the final Peru recap and it covers everything — the Temple of the Three Windows and its connections to ancient sites across the globe, the unexcavated jungle pyramid sitting in plain sight inside Machu Picchu, Emily sneaking out sacred temple dirt, the soul prison lakes of Ausangate that their local guide warned them never to touch, KristaLyn forging a Jupiter talisman ring and getting pulled into the clouds of Jupiter when she consecrated it, Emily's tattoos, and the moment something entered Emily's body at Sacsayhuaman and rearranged things — she hasn't had heartburn since.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠  / likerofwords  ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠  / likerofwords⁠⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠   / @likerofwords  Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords...Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠  / kristalynsofia  ⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠  / ⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠   / @kristalynsofia   ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsof... ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

It's a Wednesday which means it's time for our cozy little corner of the internet.This week we're combining our April Bookend with Hygge — Emily is deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl and has feelings about it, KristaLyn read a lesbian Bedazzled book and we need to talk about it. Then we pull some Hygge cards and somehow end up talking about three days without sleep, childhood smells, and a TB shot situation that apparently only happened in certain states.Also — Emily's book Locusta is available for pre-order right now everywhere you get books. Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Penguin Random House. Pre-ordering genuinely changes an author's life. Go do it.KristaLyn's book cover reveal is coming very soon.

We didn't go looking for magic on this day. It came looking for us.Part 3 of our Peru recap covers the day everything stopped being coincidence. A shaman we didn't plan to meet gave us a private worldview lesson in his shop. The tarot cards on the train predicted the exact day before it happened — mountain, woman walking, flowers in a bunch. And then a full ceremonial procession appeared on the trail behind us, with a shaman, musicians, animal masks, and chairs — heading to the same waterfall we were. Our guide Tina, who is Quechua and has guided these trails her whole life, had never seen this ceremony happen. Ever.And then they pulled us into it.We also cover the Pisac village and ruins, lunch with the Amaru people high in the Andes, the most magical train ride of our lives through the Sacred Valley, and arriving at Aguas Calientes before heading up to Machu Picchu — which gets its own episode because it deserves it.If you've been following this series you know Peru kept proving itself. This is the episode where it stopped being subtle about it. Want to experience this kind of magic yourself? We have trips open now — Germany this fall and Costa Rica next spring. Links in bio.

We went to Peru expecting magic. We didn't expect it to prove itself this hard.In Part 2 of our Peru recap, we walk through Day 1 of our spiritual tour through Cusco — and the ancient sites kept showing up with undeniable energy. From the impossible megalithic stones of Sacsayhuaman, to the underground chamber at Kenko where our entire group saw the same thing with their physical eyes, to a spirit dog who adopted us for miles then disappeared exactly when he was supposed to.This isn't a travel vlog. This is what happens when ancient magic refuses to let you not believe.We cover:Tambomachay sacred fountains (still flowing, still active)Kenko underground temple — what we ALL sawSacsayhuaman — the earth that held usThe Sun Temple built inside a Spanish cathedralWhy Peru feels like it's still alive🌿 Interested in traveling with us?

"In this episode of  What in the Woo Woo?, Emily and Krista dive into Reddit stories about spiritual red flags. We discuss spiritual ego, toxic spirituality, and the enlightenment trap where people use manifestation as an excuse for bad behavior. From roommate horror stories to narcissism disguised as mindfulness, we expose the spiritual bypassing that happens when spiritual awakening goes wrong. It's the ultimate spiritual comedy podcast for anyone who loves Reddit stories with a twist."Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on ⁠YouTube⁠ (and ⁠Instagram⁠ Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠

April has felt… cursed. And honestly, we can’t ignore it anymore. From everything going wrong to what happened on the plane (yes… including a broken bra strap at the worst possible moment), we started wondering if this month is just chaotic—or if something bigger is going on. In this episode, we talk through the strange run of events this April, the upcoming Saturn–Mars conjunction, and whether astrology might actually explain the patterns we’re seeing. We also share a few other moments that made us question what’s happening… before diving into our Peru trip and how the experience felt in Cusco and Machu Picchu.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, each Friday at 1pmEST/10am PST on YouTube and Instagram Live!Follow The Alchemist's Inkwell on:● YouTube● Instagram● TiktokFollow Emily: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://patreon.com/likerofwords⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/likerofwords⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LikerOfWordsBluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords.bsky.social⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/⁠⁠Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/kristalynsofia⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristalynsofia/⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KristaLynSofia ⁠Bluesky: ⁠https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsofia.bsky.social ⁠Website (join the mailing list!): ⁠⁠https://www.kristalynsofia.com/⁠⁠Keywords: Peru, Machu Picchu, ancient temples, spiritual practices, Inca, Quechua, sacred sites, ayahuasca, sacred energy, travel magic
