In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I had the pleasure of sitting down with author, tarot reader, and witch Madame Pamita to explore the magic of tarot and how it can transform our lives. We discuss her wonderful book, Magical Tarot, which guides readers to use tarot as a tool for personal empowerment and magical growth. (I've already recommended the book to a number of friends and family interested in Tarot.) She shares her insights on developing divination skills, both personally and professionally, and provides thoughtful advice on how to use tarot and magic to create a more joyful, abundant life.

This was a wonderful conversation, and although the release has been delayed due to technical issues, I'm very glad to be able to share it now! I hope you enjoy listening.

Also, a quick announcement: My co-High Priestess of the North Wyldewood Coven, Denise Cruci, and I will be presenting at the Sacred Space Conference in March 2025. In the notes below, you can find full details and sign up to attend via their website.

Our guest for this episode is author and herbalist Coby Michael. Coby is the author of "The Poison Path: Baneful Herbs, Medicinal Nightshades, and Ritual Entheogens." During the episode we discuss the possibilities of magic and healing with plant allies in the Nightshade family, the links between fears of poison and the power of magical practices, and I greatly appreciated our conversation about these important, challenging topics.

This week, our episode is a conversation with the wonderful heathen author and seer Patricia Lafayllve. Within the excellent heathen organization, The Troth, she is an Elder, as well as High Steward. She has performed rituals throughout the US, and is a natural Seer and trained seidr-worker, and in our conversation together, we discussed the essential skills needed to practice trance-based divination, the importance of respect and grounded research in our personal worship, and her two excellent books: A Practical Heathen's Guide to Asatru and Freyja, Lady, Vanadis: An Introduction to the Goddess.

Enjoy!

The very first "solo show" of Coffee and Divination! I wanted to speak a little about a topic that's come up with a number with my guests recently: how we relate to our divinatory tools, and also how we might deepen our connections to them. As a Witch who practices a nature-based, pantheist, and animist Tradition, the act of relating to forms of divination, and the Spirits who speak through them, is something I think a great deal about both as a teacher and a practitioner. In today's episode, I share five things that I feel are key to developing healthy relationships in divination. There is obviously a great deal to say on the topic, so this is only a beginning...

I am also excited to officially announce the podcast's new Patreon page! To show my thanks to our listeners, I'll be hosting a special Patreon-only Zoom "Coffee and Divination" chat hangout each month, (beginning with a Launch Party on April 1st,) where we can chat, discuss magic planning, and where myself and my rotating guest co-hosts will throw cards or otherwise answer listener questions during the hour...  For our Patreon members, I'll also be releasing additional content including monthly templates and spreadsheets for divination, advance notice of guests, extra episodes, and more. Check out the Patreon page to learn more and to sign up!

Enjoy this week's episode, and I hope I'll see you all at our Zoom Patreon Launch Party on Saturday, April 1st, 2023.

The latest episode is another lovely discussion with author, poet, and scholar Peter Mark Adams.  His latest work, "Hagia Sophia / Sanctum of Kronos: Spiritual Dissent in an Age of Tyranny," is a fascinating exploration of the pagan Mystery cults and their diverse survivals in later philosophical traditions, as well as a discussion of the ways in which the construction of the Hagia Sophia cathedral in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) encapsulates the metaphysics of spiritual union taught within the Eleusinian tradition – all in the face of intense persecution and oppression. Diving into the nature of sacred art, symbolism, and religious 'survivals,' I really enjoyed the conversation and I hope you do as well!

A very enjoyable conversation with the inspiring author, teacher, and sorcerer, Jason Miller.  Jason is the author of many books, including his most recent, Consorting with Spirits: Your Guide to Working with Invisible Allies.  We spoke about the nature of divination and fortune-making, the importance of discernment, building skills through practice and self-reflection, and much more.

Our second episode of 2023, and it was a wonderful conversation with PGM and practical occult practitioner Alison Chicosky. Alison is the author of The Secrets of Helios: Unlocking the Practical Uses of PGM IV.1596-1715 which was recently released by Hadean Press. She is a PGM practitioner, magician, and founder of the www.PracticalOccult.com website. We had a lovely chat about the nature of Egyptian magic, obtaining knowledge from Spirits (while developing relationships with Them,) and deepening our connections to ritual in everyday life.  I look forward to having her on the show again, and I hope you enjoy this conversation!

A lovely conversation with author, diviner, Witch, and magical project manager Ivy Bromius, all about using magic to enchant for our desires, and create our best life. We delved into how divination interweaves with magical workings, and the importance of "doing more magic" on a regular basis. This is a conversation I was looking forward to for a while, and it was a joy to talk with Ivy about these important topics.

A fantastic conversation with author, teacher, and diviner Brian Wilkins, centering on his new book and oracle deck, "The Oracle of Decans."  We delved into a discussion of the 36 Decan spirits, as well as the nature and interplay of magic, divination, and healing. This is a book and deck I've been looking forward to for a while, and the conversation around it is one I hope you enjoy.  Important work in this world, and these times. Brian also treated our live audience to a few quick readings on their questions, and if you'd like the chance to be a part of our "studio audience" the next time we do a live taping of the show, be sure to join the newsletter on the Coffee and Divination website!
