| S4 Ep3: Magickal Tattoos | 27 Aug 2024 | 00:36:18 | |
Your body is a temple, so why not decorate it? Discover why witches love tattoos to cultivate or embody an energy signature. Consciously choosing your tattoos for your magickal practice allows one to integrate the energy of what the tattoo means to the wearer, similar to an altar. Join April and Maggie as they dive into magickal tattoos of their practice and of history. Amunet is a mummy that was discovered close to 2000 BCE. She is believed to be the High Priestess of a group of priestesses to the goddess Hathor that were found in Thebes together. When archeologists performed x-rays on the mummies, they were found to have concentric circles, lines, and dots, a lot of them around their abdomen and groin area, which they believe had to do with the sacred birth and a relationship to Hathor being the Goddess of earth and motherhood. The oldest tattoos that have been discovered are from a caveman named, Otzi. He has 61 tattoos which appear to have been very specifically and intentionally placed. The tattoos are believed to be ceremonial healing tattoos. Would you get a power tattoo for healing?

Poppet dolls and corn dollies have origins in ancient Egypt as well as many parts of Europe including Great Britain. Poppets were a large part of Celtic custom and culture. One way of using a poppet in your magical practice is to make a poppet to represent yourself in magic and self-care. It is important to bond with a poppet doll that represents yourself. You can keep her on your altar or even sleep with your doll. Usually a poppet has a tag lock which is an item that is connected to the person whom the doll represents. Many times this is connected to the DNA of the individual, such as hair, finger nail clippings, or blood.

| S1 Ep:5 Sophia, Divine Feminine Archetype | 30 Oct 2023 | 00:37:06 | |
Join April, Harmony, and Maggie as they introduce Sophia as part of the Holy Trinity according to the ancient Gnostic Christian sect. Learn more about this hidden and ancient Goddess as Mother of all Creation and how important she is for the cultivation of the Divine Feminine in our modern culture that has been ruled by patriarchy for thousands of years.
Who is Sophia? April explains that the Greek word for wisdom is Sophia. In the Gnostic interpretation of the holy Trinity, it was the father, God, the mother, Sophia, the holy spirit and the child, Jesus. The gnostics were eradicated by the Roman Emperor and their teachings were hid in the Qumran Caves for two thousand years. Sophia shows up years later in the Renaissance period, depicted as the Queen of Heaven. Sophia's modern interpretation according to Harmony is the Divine Mother of all Life even as we are shifting to accept a genderless creator with a balance between the divine masculine and the divine feminine. Sophia, the Great Mother Out of the darkness, a great goddess according to the ancient Babylonians was born from the primordial chaos. She was a multi headed dragon that dates even farther back from the earliest record of Sophia. Now as we enter into the Age of Aquarius, humanity is moving into a global family consciousness. Sophia shows up in modern consciousness as the divine feminine to rekindle and ignite the birthing process of the new age. Maggie shares a definition of feminine and masculine energy to give context to ways we experience feminine energy in our society.

| S2 Ep29: Hair in Your Magickal Practice | 03 Oct 2023 | 00:27:50 | |
What does hair represent in your spellwork and offerings? In this week's episode, the witches answer a listener's question about using hair in your Magickal practice. Why is there a difference between hair that has fallen out naturally, as in a hairbrush, and hair that was specifically cut with the intention of making it an offering? Burning hair has been used for thousands of years, and it's been connected to the cleansing of the crown chakra, allowing for the removal of negativity and a reset. There are several different cultures that burn the hair of the dead to not only bring them closer to the living, but to also cleanse the negativity for them and to help alleviate pressures, such as generational hexes and curses, and the energy of families. Hair is seen as a very powerful genetic resource because basically, it has the same contents as blood. How much of your identity is wrapped up in your hair?

The Devil card in the tarot may not be as scary as some might assume it to be. For a lot of people, The Devil has a negative connotation, when really this card is about empowerment. The Devil can be a card for healing and ancestral projects.

| S2 Ep26: The Root Chakra | 12 Sep 2023 | 00:38:06 | |
In this week's podcast episode, we explore the qualities and relationships of the root chakra. There is some debate whether sexual energy is connected to this chakra. Where do you feel your sexual energy in your chakra system? Can the root chakra be about more than just safety, roots, your foundation, ancestry and sense of security? The kundalini serpent lays coiled at the root chakra, and she can be awakened through sexual energy and the activation in this chakra. When we explore the energy body, we tend to break it into parts to explore different energy centers and qualities reflected in our lives. In so doing, we may be limiting our understanding of the potency of our sexual energy which is also our spiritual energy. There is no separation or difference, merely our own perceptions of our life force energy. Join April, Harmony and Maggie for a riveting discussion of our primal root chakra.

| S2 Ep22: Hand of Glory | 15 Aug 2023 | 00:28:18 | |
The Hand of Glory was a magical talisman that was popular in the eighteenth century in Northern Europe. It was an actual hand taken from criminals who had been hung. Witches and practitioners of the art would cut off a hand for mummification which used specific incantations and was stuffed with oils and herbs. The left hand of a criminal was used for bad magical work, such as hexing, cursing, and rendering people unable to move. If you were going to use it for assistance, help, or protection, they used the right hand. Several right-handed mummified Hands of Glory were found in the walls of cottages from the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically in Northern England. Fat was also removed from the criminal that was hanging to make a candle that was placed and lit while in the mummified hand. Join April, Harmony, and Maggie as they discuss this creepy and historical practice of witchcraft. Check out the mummified hand of glory on TikTok and Instagram!

| S2 Ep18: Hel, Goddess of the Afterlife | 18 Jul 2023 | 00:30:42 | |
Hel is a Norse Goddess who is the daughter of Loki and a giant. According to a prophecy that has been lost over time, Hel was forced by the God, Odin, into Helheim, the underworld, a place where you would go if you don't die a glorious death and go to Valhalla. She was given control over the nine different dimensions of the afterlife and Hel even has the power to bring back the dead. In the 13th century, St. Bartholomew, the Bard, mentions a story with Queen Hel having a conflict with Jesus. This was enough to influence culture in society as the plays and songs were shared by the Bard. Over time, the Norse Goddess, Hel, had been replaced with a Christian place called Hell, a place of torture in the afterlife.

| S2 Ep17: Venus Retrograde in Leo | 11 Jul 2023 | 00:37:06 | |
Venus has a long retrograde this summer in the astrological sign of Leo. Venus is a planet that represents your feminine energy and how you share socially, how you like to receive love, what you find beautiful, your self-worth and your value system. When she retrogrades in the fixed fire sign of Leo, you will be reviewing your truest heart's desires. In your own astrology chart you can find what house(s) will be influenced and where this retrograde is showing up in your life. Venus in Leo reminds you to go into the heart of the lion, having the courage to be yourself, having the courage to feel and to allow yourself to be tender in your heart. The eight year cycle of Venus retrogrades makes the shape of a rose in the sky. Venus holds the teachings of the rose, how you are rooted, where your seed is growing from and what that seed is blossoming into. This is a time of reviewing how you are being nurtured, card for and loved. Resources: Astrology with Maggie: https://www.maggieclark.net/

| S2 Ep14: Summer Solstice | 20 Jun 2023 | 00:37:38 | |
Summer solstice, also known as Litha, is the highest point that the sun will be and is the longest day of the year. At this time of year, witches come together to celebrate through bonfires at the top of hills, the spiral dance, and the Fae, also known as the fairy folk. Listen to a story of Áine, an Irish Goddess of summer, love and wealth who was seen to shape-shift into a red mare and a swan.
How do you wish to celebrate Solstice? You are at your height of ascension, where you have grown into your light. You can embrace all you have learned, all the wisdom gained so that when solstice is over and the sun starts to move and get a little lower in the sky, you start embodying all of that transcendent energy that you have come to know in the last six months. Spell work can be around abundance, prosperity, money, and also protection.

| S2 Ep13: Scrying | 13 Jun 2023 | 00:26:32 | |
One of the oldest forms of divination is scrying which is divining messages through a reflective surface. 2000 years ago in the ancient world, the upper echelon of society would use a circular piece of black obsidian to scry. The Greeks would also use hydromancy, reading messages in water. At about 3000 B.C.E., the Babylonians began to scry messages in lamp oil.
Scrying has been used by many mystics, diviners and psychics, including Queen Elizabeth's court astronomer, John Dee and his assistant Edward Kelley. Scrying can be used for mediumship, connecting with loved ones on the other side, past lives, connecting with ancestors and different dimensions. You can use a candle and a soft gaze to relax your vision to see messages in the mirror.
Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they share the history, uses, and personal stories of scrying.

| S2 Ep11: Dark Goddess Eris | 30 May 2023 | 00:33:20 | |
Eris is known as the goddess of chaos and discord and she is the sister to Aries, the god of war. She fights against oppression and is known for shadow work, fear, and fighting for collective shadow. Her most famous story is the "Uninvited Guest" where she is deliberately not invited to a wedding party in which all the other gods and goddesses were invited. Eris crashes the wedding party and throws a golden apple, with the inscription "To the fairest," into the middle of the celebration causing a fight between Aphrodite, Hera and Athena. This action helped to spawn the Trojan Wars.
Eris is also a dwarf planet that was discovered in 2005. Eris is about the same size as Pluto and much denser with a much longer orbit of 559 years. Eris may well be a disruptive energy that when combined with Pluto becomes transformative and possibly destructive. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they discuss the beauty of shadow work and addressing one's rage and anger.

| S2 Ep10: Pamela Colman Smith | 23 May 2023 | 00:28:47 | |
Pamela Coleman Smith, nicknamed "Pixie," was a British artist responsible for every single illustration on all seventy-eight cards of the A.E. Waite and Rider Tarot Deck. She was involved heavily in the 1920s Suffragist movement in London. She created many of the posters that were hung throughout the city to let women know where they were gathering, to meet and discuss their rights, where they could get together to support each other, and the Suffragist movement, and to push the government in the direction that they wanted them to go.
Pamela was a very wild and super individualistic in a period in time where women didn't really have a lot of personality. She didn't care who looked at her, what they thought, how they interpreted her actions or her behaviors, because she was very eccentric, and she just wanted to define herself as the woman, the witch, the feminist, the suffragist, the lesbian, and the mixed race female that she was. Pamela illustrated over twenty books and she wrote and illustrated two books about Jamaican folklore as well as illustrated Bram Stroker's novel, The Lair of the White Worm.

| S2 Ep9: Ayahuasca and Healing Trauma | 16 May 2023 | 00:47:22 | |
You have experienced trauma just by being raised in a patriarchal society and by being born from a woman's body that had lived through different types of patriarchal conditioning. When healing trauma, many find they are caught in the triangle of disempowerment where you play a role of the victim, the rescuer, or the perpetrator. Talk therapy, dealing with your shadow work, and embodiment practices can help you start to understand and to heal your trauma. Many also turn to the use of psychedelics to look deeply into places that store trauma in the body, mind and spirit.
In this episode, Harmony shares stories from her ayahuasca journeys as it pertains to healing her trauma with sexual abuse and with men. Ayahuasca is a plant-based psychedelic drug that is usually brewed into a tea or a concentrated liquid to drink. Ayahuasca is a sacred plant medicine of the shamans of South America and it is used for ceremonial practices. It is said that the spirit of the plant, grandmother Aya, will call to you when you need her medicine.

| S2 Ep8: Madame Pele | 09 May 2023 | 00:35:22 | |
Pele is a Hawaiian goddess of fire, volcanoes, lightning, jealousy, anger, rage, and the sister wound. Her sister and sea goddess, Namaka, pursued Pele across the sea and destroyed her on the Big Island of Hawaii where it is said Madame Pele, otherwise known as Tutu Pele, dwells in the one of the most active volcanoes on the earth today.
Her name means, "she who shapes the sacred land." Pele is destructive, impulsive and volatile, yet she creates land with her lava flow when she decides to blow. She is currently an urban legend and she has been sighted often near volcanic craters and near her home of Kilauea.
Pele is a spirit who teaches us to honor the land and the spirits that protect the land. She is a grandmother who lovingly cares for the islands of her creation. She is the element of fire and expresses with seduction, anger and intensity. Her protection and heart fuel the land and the people of the islands to this day.
Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they share the medicine of Pele and address the sister wound of jealousy.

| S2 Ep7: Beltane | 01 May 2023 | 00:26:24 | |
In the Wheel of the Year, Beltane is celebrated on the first day of May with this midway point between Spring and Summer. Many times, it is associated with May Day and the tradition of the May Pole, representing the phallus and a wreath, representing the sacred feminine vessel. The celebration is traditional with the fires of Beltane, the fires of Bel as they were called in reference to the Celtic God.
The Druids always lit two fires on Beltane to emphasize a balance of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. People and livestock would walk through the two fires to inspire purification and fertility. The fires empower rituals, and all of the summer themes including love, happiness and protection. The fires open up the doorway to the fae folk, the other side and the supernatural world. Join April, Harmony and Maggie as they share ways to celebrate this holiday!

| S2 Ep6: Pluto in Aquarius | 25 Apr 2023 | 00:28:30 | |
Why is Pluto in Aquarius such a big deal? In this episode, we look at the planet of transformation, regeneration, secret obsessions, soul growth and soul obligation. As Pluto travels to 0°Aquarius and then retrogrades back into Capricorn, this is an optimal time to reflect inwardly on what areas of your life need to be transformed and activated into new energy.
Many cycles of energy are reoccurring in astrology and simultaneously in history. This astrological movement with Pluto has occurred after the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolution which can cause some concerns and fear around what may happen with world affairs. In addition, the Age of Aquarius is a longer timeframe shift which occurs about every 2000 years, and this is happening now in history. Also, about every 26,000 years, there is a shift in the poles axis of the Earth which can lead to massive earth changes.
Discover the beauty of Pluto bringing in the Aquarian Age and how we can approach this time in history with awareness, hope, transformation, and connection to the mysteries of who we are and why we are here at this time.
