Mojo Mundi Podcast

Is it possible to harmonize with raw emotion and remain equanimous?  What happens if, instead of controlling our primal energy, we Allow wisdom to harmonize with instinct?  In this episode we will explore these questions through the images and metaphors of the Major Arcana card, Strength.  Our search will lead us into the realm of Lunar Energy, the challenge of stepping into greater spiritual dynamism, and the invitation of revealing our Divine spirit through physical embodiment.

Sacred places, sacred times, sacred events . . . Magic swirls around us in our Manifested world yet distraction, cultural and social dictates, and inexperience and desensitization blind us to the Spiritual nature of our physical existence.  Join me on a pilgrimage to Yellowstone National Park, where Nature and circumstance invite awakening.

In this episode of the Mojo Mundi podcast, we explore the transformative power of creativity as “Light in the Darkness.” Through a personal journey with the Celtic Deity Lugh, we share the experience of how embracing the unknown—and continuing to create within it—can dissolve fear, spark insight, and deepen connection with the Divine. Discover how spiritual practice, intuition, and co-creation guide us forward, even when the path is unclear.

Waiting for our dreams to Manifest is challenging for most of us.  We can easily slip into doubt and become focused on lack.  We are particularly vulnerable to doubt when we feel time is passing and we still haven't completed CoCreating what we want.  I have found patience is a key to shifting from doubt to faith in the CoCreating process.  Join me as I trace the way to swing patience to assist us in Manifesting with confidence.

How do we continue to Allow the world to be in stark contrast to what we are called to CoCreate without losing our momentum?  In the face of racism, sexism, Imperialism and facism, it can be easy to choose to step into Fear, even when it is Love we want to CoCreate with Deity.  In the 31st Mojo Mundi Podcast episode, we delve into the struggle to Allow others' their paths, when those paths seem to be harbingers of devastation.  Where do good and evil fit in Allowing?  How do we express love for others and our world without becoming overwhelmed by the pain that is part of Contrast?

Allowing Joy in the Sacred Stretch explores what it means to trust in a loving Creator so that we may stretch beyond comfort while staying rooted in joy. This is sacred growth without shame, elevation without burnout, and transformation powered by love.

Stories have been used as a powerful spiritual practice for as long as bipedals have had some form of language.  Tales bridge the distinction between brain and intuition.  They evoke emotion and invite the brain to experience vivid imaginary participation in remarkable, extra-ordinary events.  We often tell ourselves stories based on early trauma, generational mistaken beliefs, and fear.  What would it be like to harness the power of the Wisdom Tale to shift energy, develop more expansive perspective, offer the observer's view of our own lives, and evoke sensations of joy, harmony, alignment, and expansion? With Goldilocks as our example, we examine three stories of Manifesting to expose the process and expand our understanding.

In the flow of Life, Contrast and Harmony swirl in complex patterns through our moment-to-moment experience.  When we are suddenly met with Death while we are also wrapped in Life, how do we respond?  Is there a better choice?  A worse option?  How may we open to the sacred invitation of Death when we remain in Manifested form?

It's easy to talk ourselves out of identifying Magic when it happens.  Much of the time Magic is working through the mundane, the minutiae, the string of moments that make up the course of our lives.  If we take time to examine the minutiae and then Allow wonder to stand in the usual place of what we insist is logic, Divine workings are revealed.  Together we will delve into a few examples of how we may identify the telltale footprints of Magic in the Minutiae.

Mojo Mundi is about the Kosmic Energy of our physical world.  But what does that really mean?  As we embrace a nature-based belief system, it can be difficult to Allow that other creatures or that things have spirit, vibration, messages.  In this episode, my friend, Stephanie Naftal, speaks about her path, which has been guided by the wisdom of plants since early childhood.  Stephanie shares her lifelong journey with plant medicine and how she weaves together her scientific training, wisdom she has received from Indigenous teachers, and the communications garnered through direct communion with the living intelligence of plants.  Together, we explore what it means to open to intuitive communication, to trust the quiet voices that guide us, and to step into the courage of sharing our own wisdom with the world. This conversation is an invitation to remember our relationship with the natural world and the medicine that moves through each of us.  To learn more about Stephanie's offerings, click here.

Stepping into Authenticity is a courageous and potent choice.  When we recognize that our religious leaders have led us away from Authenticity and into Fear, it can be daunting to find our way back to connection with Love and Deity.  My guest, Ken Wortley, shares his painful and powerful sojourn back to Passionate Authenticity.

What happens when we are faced with not knowing what is coming next in our lives, when we are experiencing uncertainty that doesn't seem to have an identifiable conclusion.  In this episode, we discover the wonder of stepping into the Not Knowing in order to experience the sacred encounter with potential.

This episode continues the quest to cultivate Self Love.  Join me to see where the quest culminates and share the realization of the gifts Self Love offers.

What happens when we find out that what we thought we believed and understood about ourselves and our relationship to ourselves isn't actually true?  Join me in an unfolding exploration into the discovery of not loving myself and the first steps  moving through this monumental realization.

What do we experience when we feel Pleasure, Happiness, and Joy?  Are these just alternative names for the same sensations or are there important differences between these feelings, differences that impact how successfully we are Co-Creating our lives?  

When we refer to our spiritual journey as a Life Path, that implies that our way is a clearly defined and visible route that has been traveled by many other seekers before us.  I prefer to use the term Living Path -- a path that is unique, alive, undefinable, and ever evolving.  My guest, Kim Quigley, shares the twists and turns of her Living Path, even as it is evolving at the time of our recording.  Listen to Kim's journey to discover examples of uncertainties and surprises, experiences and encounters that reveal themselves to be idiosyncratic cairns on Kim's Living Path.

What is the differences between praying to Deity and conversing with Deity?  How do these differences impact our experience of life and our spiritual understanding?  As we delve into these questions, we discover potential for a deeper connection with Creator and an opportunity to recognize our important contribution to this holy exchange.

If we do any exploration into Manifestation and the Law of Attraction, we are bound to come across the term Contrast.  We may be familiar with the term. We may even understand the role of Contrast in Manifesting.  We likely also struggle with Contrast when it shows up in our lives.  And it shows up regularly.  In this 18th Mojo Mundi episode, we'll sink our teeth into a meaty discussion of Contrast and it's place in Reality.

Do Americans have a Death taboo?  What shapes our attitudes towards Death and Grief?  What are the consequences of shrinking from Death and Grief? Join me in navigating our fears surrounding Death in order to discover the potent Magic that Death holds for the living.

As we face global crises financially, politically, environmentally, and socially, is there room for a spiritual response to "real world" problems?  Together, we will examine the problems that arise from avoidance and hyperfocus in comparison to the power of Faith and the Art of Allowing.

Often, though we believe in Co-Creation, in Magic, in Manifesting, we undermine our ability to participate in the Magic because of our fears about the expectations of others.  Our focus on the opinions of The Other and how we may be perceived by those around us interferes with our stepping into our calling to Co-Create.  How we avoid this all-to-familiar pitfall lies in an ancient archetype.  Let's explore the power of Allowing ourselves to be the Sacred Fools.

Magic has been a subject of many books and movies over the years.  The descriptions of Magic in popular culture can give us metaphors to help us visualize energy, emotions, and outcomes to support our Magic and Manifesting.  These popular resources have also built disruptive beliefs about how Magic should look and operate.  Together, we will examine these obstructive beliefs and explore how to move from a swish-and-flick-and-voila view of Magic to one of Inspired Unfolding.

When we have a transcendent experience, many of us struggle to truly embrace the wonder.  Doubt rapidly takes over, and though we don't divorce ourselves from the experience completely, we do sink into ambivalence.  Together we will explore the mechanisms and consequences of this habitual ambivalence, and consider remedies that can transform doubt into delight.

 Significant numbers of spiritual seekers struggle with a sense of alienation from God.  The feeling of separation from Deity is an understandable outcome of millenia of systemic prejudice, religious dogma, and sexism that debase the body, the Earth and the Feminine Principle.  As we examine the consequences of ignoring the sacredness of the physical, we discover the potential for powerful healing and deepened understanding of our relationship with Creator.

Americans are proud to be a Can-Do Nation.  But when doing becomes the sole means to self-worth, we run the risk of losing touch with our profound connection to Deity.  What is the antidote to the societal insistence on doing to earn worth?  The answer lies in a process I call Inspired Unfolding.

In this conversation with artist, poet, Reiki master practitioner, and oracle reader, Casey Krohn, we delve into the intersection between art and spirituality.  Casey shares her process and her revelations about art, Manifesting, Receiving, and Allowing.

When we feel something missing in our lives, we often identify that something as our life's purpose.  How do we know that is what is missing?  How do we figure out what our life's purpose is?  With the help of my friend Deenya, we will explore what that "missing feeling" is about, how it relates to life purpose and how the journey of purpose unfolds.

What does diversity mean in the context of Manifesting?  Is it simply another word for contrast or is there a deeper purpose to diversity?  Join me in an exploration of the spiritual purpose and consequences of diversity in our lives and our world.

What does it mean to live a heart centered life and how does that fit with the Art of Allowing?  Join me in exploring myths and wisdom of leading with the heart, how to navigate current culture from a heart centered life, and the power of Allowing to combat polarizing societal trends.

Are anxiety and fear the same emotion?  How do anxiety and fear relate to the Art of Allowing?  Join me in exploring the qualities of fear and anxiety, the evolutionary function of fear, the role of imagination in perpetuating anxiety, and how the Art of Allowing can help us to disarm anxiety, empowering us to create a life of joy and creativity.

Perfection is a powerful human construct that has been in the human psyche for millennia.  Where does the urge for perfection arise and how does it support or interfere with spiritual expression and manifestation?  We'll consider the meaning and purpose of perfection and how we can be guided by the Art of Allowing to respond to the call for perfection.

What are we asking of ourselves when we embrace the Art of Allowing?  Do we have to give up on our dreams or on standing up for ourselves?  Do we have to let go of our goals?  In this episode, we discuss what we mean by giving up and letting go in the context of the Art of Allowing and review a real life event that offers a glimpse into how these practices coincide.

What happens when it feels impossible to shift our thoughts in order to shift our energy?  There are other options.  Getting physical is a powerful way to bypass thinking and shift our energy at the cellular level.  Explore the power of movement to change our vibration and our lives.

This episode explores how magic manifests in unforeseen experiences.

In my first podcast, we will look at how our brains help or hinder us in Manifesting our dreams.  Through the powerful Art of Allowing, we can transform our brains from resistant rebels to artful allies to manifest a life of joy and abundance.
