Channeling - A Witch & A Shaman FAQ

Text the Show This is a segment called A Witch & A Shaman (W&S) where Jenny C Bell & Granddaughter Crow sit down to answer questions. This question came to us from Our Coven Community, “Can you share more about channeling, your experience and how it works?” The weirdest moment can be the most revealing: you hear yourself say “we,” you choose words you never use, and afterward you wonder where that message came from. That is the doorway into today’s community Q and A, where we unpack channeling in a grounded way that respects both mystery and personal agency. Jenny C. Bell and I treat channeling as a spectrum, from subtle intuition and divination insights to deeper ritual states where you feel like a vessel for a presence, a deity, or a guiding intelligence. We also widen the lens beyond witchcraft and shamanism. Channeling can look like creative flow, the muses, and inspiration, the feeling musicians describe when a concert turns spiritual and time disappears. If you have ever been so “in it” that you felt tuned to something bigger than your everyday mind, you already understand the core mechanic. From there, we get practical: we share the metaphors that help us stay in control, like turning a radio dial to a specific station or opening and closing a door on purpose. Then we get serious about what keeps channeling safe: spiritual protection, clear boundaries, and consent. You get to decide what comes through and what does not. We talk about why inebriation can lower boundaries, how to set sacred space like you are hosting a guest, and why closing the space matters if you do not want to feel exhausted afterward. We also share aftercare essentials, including water, protein, rest, and reintegration time. If you feel curious, that curiosity might be your signal that you are ready to develop your channeling practice with clarity and respect.

Ground Your Spirit With Qigong And Magic - Rene Collins

Text the Show Your spiritual practice can be powerful and still leave you wiped out. If you’ve ever felt a ritual hangover, floated out of your body for days, or tried to “push through” with borrowed energy, this conversation is a reset. We’re joined by Rene Collins, a magician, musician, and long-time qigong practitioner who teaches Magical Qigong for the pagan community, and he brings a grounded, practical lens to energy, health, and real-world spiritual hygiene. We talk about what qigong actually is: life force energy cultivation as a lifestyle, not a one-time fix. Rene shares his path through martial arts, meditation, and multiple magical traditions, plus a vivid story of blending qigong with Western magic during a circus storm. From there we get into why so many spiritual people feel ungrounded, how the hun and po can drift apart, and what it looks like to rebuild the body as the container for spirit. Seasonal wisdom plays a big role too. Rene breaks down late summer and fall through the five elements, connecting digestion, lungs, boundaries, and protective energy. We explore how cooler weather and “veil season” can affect both immunity and energetic shielding, and why building your own internal “biosphere” matters. He also explains “casting on empty,” energy leaks, and false power, then offers a simple structure: foundational qigong before ritual, then again after, so you refill the battery instead of burning out. If you want a body-based approach to magic, breathwork, grounding, and nervous system support, this one’s for you.

The Initiates Oracle - Egypt's Mystical Mysteries with Marcella Kroll

Text the Show A scarab on the cover isn’t just pretty design, it’s a symbol of transformation. We’re joined by Marcella Kroll, a psychic medium, occult practitioner, and spiritual counselor, to talk about The Initiates Oracle and why this deck is built for ritual, integration, and real-life rebirth rather than quick fortune telling. We get into how symbol, color, and archetype can speak straight to the body, especially when words fail. Marcella shares the story behind the deck’s origins: a 2022 journey through Egypt with a Hermetic magic school, initiations and rituals in sacred temples, and days on the Nile that kept her in a dreamlike liminal space. From that experience, we explore how spiritual travel imprints the nervous system, how creativity becomes a vessel for the ineffable, and why initiations show up as repeated thresholds across a lifetime. We also talk practical divination and intuitive development: setting intention, pulling one card, entering the imagery like a portal, journaling what you see, then using the guidebook as support before you integrate the message in daily life. Marcella breaks down her Depth Oracle program and what it means to honor the oracle archetype with ethics, boundaries, self-trust, and community in the digital age. She closes with a grounding reminder that hits hard right now: breathe, stay centered, and pause between reaction and response. Subscribe for more conversations on mysticism, oracle decks, liminal space, and spiritual practice, and if this one resonates, share it and leave a review so more listeners can find the work. Bio: Marcella Kroll is a multi-hyphenate artist, author, and intuitive with nearly 20 years of experience in the fields of divination, creativity, and spiritual empowerment. Known for their grounded presence and visionary insight, Marcella has been a trusted tarot reader and medium for celebrity clients, entrepreneurs, and cultural institutions alike. They have been featured on the television series Joan Knows Best with Joan Rivers, interviewed on the acclaimed podcast For The Wild, and invited to speak and lead public talks, ritual, s and experiences at venues such as The Lucas Museum and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, the Philosophical Research Society (Los Angeles), and UC Davis. In addition to being the creator of several beloved oracle decks and author of multiple published works, Marcella brings a rare blend of depth, humor, and authenticity to every space they enter. www.marcellakroll.com www.instagram.com/marcellakroll Support the show Granddaughter Crow - www.granddaughtercrow.com Check Out My Patreon https://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow Check Out My Substack https://substack.com/@granddaughtercrow Social Media: @GranddaughterCrow YouTube Channel: @GranddaughterCrow Jenny C Bell - https://www.jennycbell.com/ Jenny’s Our Coven Community https://our-coven.mn.co/landing For more from Jenny: https://linktr.ee/Jennyc.bell?utm_source=linktree_profile_sharesid=ba12a9e9-bd17-4699-9e70-68c74fb3c96f

Judika Illes - Mic Drop! All Things Witchy, Oracle Decks, Encyclopedias, and MORE!

Text the Show Spellwork does not belong to an elite club. When Judika Illes sits down with us, we get a clear, grounded reminder that if you are a human with desires or fears, you already have the raw material for magic. We talk about why her work, from Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells to her Oracle decks, lands with so many people: it makes witchcraft accessible, digestible, and practical without losing its depth. We also trace Judika’s long relationship with tarot, starting with discovering the B.O.T.A. deck as a child and learning by building a personal bond with the cards. From there, we nerd out on research as sacred archaeology, what it takes to write deeply researched metaphysical reference books, and the real publishing process that most readers never see. If you love folk magic, this conversation is a feast: home ingredients, creative problem solving, and spells designed for people who need help now, not seven days from now with expensive tools. Then we step into saints and Catholic folk magic, including why so many witches petition Saint Anthony of Padua for finding what is lost, Saint Expedite for fast results, and Archangel Michael for daily protection. We wrap with a big question about what lies beyond and a surprisingly comforting image of many possible afterlives, with room to move toward love and belonging.

How Does a Shaman & Witch Protect Themselves

Text the Show You can be spiritually open without being spiritually exposed, and that line is what we explore with spiritual protection that works in real life. We get questions all the time about how to protect your energy, why it matters, and what “protection” even means if you are an empath, a witch, a highly sensitive person, or someone doing any kind of intuitive or healing work. We start with the truth that changes everything: the brighter you shine, the more likely you are to attract other people’s projections, jealousy, and energetic clutter, even if nobody is “doing” anything to you on purpose. Together we bring a grounded, cross-cultural lens, pulling from Shamanism, Buddhism, angel work, and folk magic traditions like the evil eye to explain why so many paths agree on the same basic idea: there is an invisible world of energy, and you have to choose what you let in. From there, we get practical. We share a simple diagnostic that can save you years of confusion, “Is this mine?”, plus ways to test it using tarot or your body as a yes or no “human pendulum” so your nervous system can cut through spiraling thoughts. Then we move into the daily toolkit: cleansing and protection that does not require expensive supplies. We talk selenite for aura cleansing, cinnamon smoke as an easy home option, salt in the shower, and why cleanse first then protect so you do not trap residual energy. We also get into talismans and moon charging, healthy boundaries around your personal items, and the internal side of protection: self-care, therapy, journaling, and defending your magic from its classic enemy, self-doubt. If you want a spiritual protection routine you can actually keep, press play, try one practice today, and tell us what changed.

UFOs And The Nature Of Reality - Dr. Jonathan Kendall

Text the Show UFO stories are easy to dismiss until you look at what serious researchers actually wrestle with: physical traces on the ground, multi-witness sightings, “unknowns” admitted by official programs, and a strange pattern of spiritual aftereffects that do not fit a simple materialist story. We sit down with Dr. Jonathan Kendall, a practicing nephrologist and the author of The Metaphysics of UFOs, to ask a questions and explore the reality beyond what we currently call reality. We start with the basics, including why “UAP” (unidentified anomalous phenomena) has become the modern label and how stigma has shaped public conversation. Then we go deep into classic high strangeness territory: Point Pleasant’s Mothman reports, waves of UFO sightings, and the unsettling Men in Black phenomenon that seems to blur government intimidation with something far more uncanny. Jonathan shares why the evidence base is bigger than most people realize, from Project Blue Book’s persistent “unknowns” to modern reporting, media scrutiny, and congressional attention. The heart of the conversation is metaphysics: UAP as an overtly physical phenomenon that still leaves a spiritual signature. We talk about landing effects, radiation cases, and also the reports of orbs, apparitions, psychic experiences, and the surprising number of people who describe long-term personal transformation. We connect that thread to Jonathan’s other work on apparitions and after-death experiences, and we end with the question we ask every guest: what do you believe lies beyond? If you’re curious about UFO evidence, UAP disclosure, Men in Black, Mothman, psychical research, and the spiritual dimension of close encounters, press play and join us. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show. Here is a recent article that Dr. Kendall published: https://www.llewellyn.com/journal/article/3340?utm_source=paraup0626&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=paraup0626 Bio: Jonathan Kendall I am a practicing Nephrologist in Eastern Kentucky, board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology. Independent Christian belief (i.e. very non-denominational). My belief is that current traditional belief systems lack a coherent understanding of reality as evidenced in my research and writing on apparitions and UFOs. Needless to say I have an immense fascination (and always have had) with the spiritual and the paranormal.

A Kids Guide To Palmistry That Adults Will Love - PV Dai

Text the Show Your hands are not a sentence, they are a story you can edit. We sit down with professional palmist and author Paula Victoria Dai to clear up the biggest palmistry myths, from the fear around the lifeline to the idea that a reading locks you into one fate. Palmistry, as Paula practices it, is a living study of lines, mounts, texture, and hand shape that reflects your energy, patterns, and choices, and it can change as you do. We also dig into why Paula’s first book, In Your Hands: Putting The Magic Back In Your Hands, A Kids Guide To Palmistry, is such a smart entry point for both kids and adults. Written for ages eight to twelve, it uses clear language, color illustrations, and practical exercises that make hand reading feel approachable, especially if you have bounced off older, denser palmistry books. Along the way, we talk about intuition in childhood, neurodivergent-friendly learning, and why ethical spiritual practice matters, including grounding, setting sacred space, and reading with care instead of ego. You will hear simple palmistry tests you can try right away, like noticing your thumb position for your current social battery and gently testing hand flexibility as a mirror for how you handle plans and control. Then we go deeper into what a palm reading can reveal about career transitions, passion projects, relationships, and personal power, plus how Paula stays grounded through ancestral practice, dream work, and reconnecting with Filipino folklore and protective traditions. If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about divination, palmistry, hand reading, intuition, and spiritual ethics, subscribe, share this with a curious friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find the show. Bio: Paula Victoria is the professional palmist and author behind P is for Palmistry. Paula learned palmistry at a young age from her grandmother and has grown her practice through virtual readings, events, markets and residencies in the Los Angeles Area. With over 25 years of palmistry practice and experience connecting with people through art curation, professional organizing, and her interior design studio, Paula’s readings are deeply focused. Her readings help others discover their own set of personal strengths and guide them through life transitions with ease, clarity, and confidence.

Llewellyn’s Complete Book of the Moon - Jesamyn Angelica

Text the Show The Moon has been shaping life on Earth since before humans had words for wonder, and we don’t have to treat that as metaphor. We sit down with Lady Jesamyn Angelica, priestess, ritualist, and oracle, to talk about the Moon as a real force: tides, water, bodies, evolution, and the quiet ways lunar cycles show up in our moods, choices, and rituals. If you’ve ever felt pulled toward moon magic but wanted something grounded, this conversation meets you there. We also dig into devotion and language. Jesamyn shares why she consciously relates to the Moon as “she” and as goddess, how women-centered spirituality can be both healing and inclusive, and why centering women is not the same thing as excluding men. Along the way, we talk about her path and what it means to build a living relationship with the Moon instead of chasing perfect rules. On the practical side, we get into the tools people actually want: moon water, lunar elixirs, potions, and easy ways to connect with the Moon today using the elements and lunar astrology. Jesamyn also opens up about writing Llewellyn’s Complete Book of the Moon and why “take what works and leave the rest” is essential for sustainable witchcraft practice. Then we zoom out to leadership and community care, including the “empowered sovereign” archetype and how clear boundaries prevent burnout. If this sparked something in you, subscribe, share the episode with a moon-loving friend, and leave us a review so more people can find the show. Jesamyn's Bio: Priestess, Ritualist, and Oracle, Jesamyn Angelica has practiced Witchcraft and walked the Path of the Moon since her dedication to the Goddess as a Maiden. Now in her Queen Season, she is High Priestess of Sisterhood of the Moon, a matriarchal Goddess Tradition for all located in the San Francisco Bay Area. As Alchemical Guide of The Women’s Mystery School of Magick & Empowerment, she is dedicated to empowering all women through truth-speaking, authenticity, and self-exploration. Through the soon-to-be launched Lunaversity, she shares her love of lunar alchemy and moon magick with all who are called to modern moon mysticism. Jesamyn brings joie de vivre, humor, and wit to all she does, combining these qualities with foundational skills in leadership, communication, and magick cultivated over three decades. Jesamyn’s first title, “Llewellyn’s Complete Book of the Moon: Lunar Wisdom for Magic, Healing, and Inspiration” was published in December 2025. Explore her offerings at JesamynAngelica.com.
