Making Magic Real Julia Jay Art

Ep 24 - Taylor Meagher - Red Lines Dancing - Tales of an Artist..
Today’s conversation is with Taylor an artist who expresses her creative energy through painting & dancing!
Since coming across her works, I have been truly captivated by the way she constructs the energies of her pieces & her use of colours give me a feeling of home. 
Taylor has recently stepped into a new artist name called “Red Lines Dancing” which I love- Check out her art HERE
We chat about her womb-centric art series, the story that brings her to the land we recorded the podcast on & other parts of the artists journey. 
We didn’t get to chat about her new artist name red lines dancing on the day, so here is a snippet about her new artist name from a piece of writing she posted on her instagram @redlinesdancing

“My recent business name birthing is greatly inspired by my movement. The movement that I’ve come to realise is interchangable between my paintbrush strokes and the way I love when the music hits the sweet-spot. It’s the same creative spirit, the energy that dances through me is the same energy that kisses the canvas.
Dance is not only my outward conversation with the muse, a form of storytelling, but it’s also the way I’m able to process emotions. Art similarly offers the capacity to process and heal as well… Body & Brush as one” 
I hope that this conversation adds an extra bit of sparkle to your day!Much Magic- Julia Jay x

Ep 21 - Emily // Embodybee The Bees have been Emily's biggest teacher in life! Being there through the birth of her daughter & deeply interwoven in the creation of her business - Embodybee. 
Her business & life purpose is driven by a dream to restore the sacred connection between bees and humans. 
She lives a bee centred way of life, which if your wondering what that means, Emily has it best on her website as -
 “Bee-centered means that I everything I do puts the needs of the bees first before my human greed. The bee hives I own are little temples of worship, they are all lovingly collected and thoughtfully placed. I name my hives, talk to them like my friends and adorn them with paint and beautiful designs.”

Living a bee centred life also means not tending to the bees in the way conventional beekeepers do, which Emily goes a bit deeper into & it was truly fascinating to learn some of the differences. 

Through her business Embodybee, Emily teachers others the way of natural bee tending and hand-makes products such as her “Nectar of the goddesses”  that acts as a bridge to carry the healing & medicinal properties of the hive to the people, in a way that is respectful and working with the bees natural flow.
Emily is an overflowing well of Bee wisdom + stories so I am super excited for you to listen to this episode! X
Much Magic- Julia Jay

Ep 20 - Tahira- Cat- Enchanting Energy 
Today’s chat is with Cat, or Tahira or you may know them by another stage name from the numerous characters they have played!! Cat’s pronouns are also they/them:)
This episode is truly a wonderful insight into the creative world of performance art & I love hearing Cat’s stories about the layers of shedding they have gone through and still go through to create the art they do from an uncensored place of truth. 

When we recorded this episode together- Cat was in the midst of wrapping up all the ties of creative connections with all the magical communities around Newcastle & the surrounding areas, as Cat is off and settling in by now- to MEXICO! 

I was defiantly meant to have this episode out a little sooner than planned but I am really feeling that it is actually the perfect time to share this ep for some end of year inspiration to set some MASSIVE goals for what you truly want & to just go for it! 
Just a few things we chat about 
The strong pull to Belly Dancing from age 9 which catapulted Kat into the world of performance Stripping away fear about worrying what people think of you & Uncensoring your art form Kat’s process in creating performance pieces Radical acceptance “my body is a tool and allows me to do the things I love”A special spoken word at the end specially written for “Making Magic Real” :) It’s a bit hot today, so grab an iced kombucha & settle in for a whirlwind of a chat! I hope you get as inspired as I did from this episode- let’s dive in! Much Magic-Julia jay- x

Ep 19- Eyes of Isis // Isis O'Neill 
Today's chat with Isis is about how over the years her love of art has become not only a source of income but a lifestyle that has shown her that it is possible to live a life of pleasure and fun & how living this lifestyle has challenged, enriched and empowered her in so many ways. 
She is a multidisciplinary artist specialising in macramé weaved crystal necklaces, mystical ceramics & beautiful feminine/nature inspired paintings!
You can tell she has spent so much time in each piece, all her ceramic mugs with detailed pixie like faces, curling ears, beads and bubbles. Each piece is truly alive and infused with spirit, some eyes holding a glint of a cheeky forest nymph whilst others pear back with the steadiness of an old wise sentient being. 

I love Isis light hearted giggly way of talking that is also incredibly straight to the point. You hear her passion and determination around the way she speaks about her creations and the dedication to her souls journey. 

Its so lovely to be back doing podcasts again & I hope you enjoy today’s episode with Isis- so grab a cup of tea, get cosy, maybe even have a little art jam whilst you listen & let dive in!
