    Avoiding the Alt-Right Pipeline in Pagan Spaces

    Alt-right spaces used to be easy to spot and avoid. Everyone knew to carefully vet evangelical churches and tread lightly in certain states and towns. However, as people leave evangelical spaces to find more fulfilling spiritual paths, they sometimes bring with them bigoted and harmful ideologies. It’s one of the growing reasons why any new ideas and mysteries we come across need to be carefully scrutinized before we embrace them. Shannon and I love a history mystery as much as the next pagan, but media literacy and critical thinking are crucial to avoid falling into the alt-right pipeline and finding yourself in very scary situations.  Join Shannon and I this week as we lay a foundation for keeping yourself and your fellow witchlings safe in the craft.  Want more metaphysical mystery and magick?

    The Alchemy of Luck

    Luck is a tricky concept, especially when it comes to your magickal practice. Belief in luck—both good and bad—is an ancient concept with a broad lexicon of superstitions, rituals, and traditions. Many of these traditions survive today in the practice of carrying good luck charms and following cultural or familial traditions. The goal is to decrease your bad luck while welcoming in the good.  But do any of these practices have a place in your craft?  Join Shannon and me in our latest episode to learn more about the traditions surrounding luck, the psychological implications of being “lucky” or “unlucky”, and methods for infusing your workings with more serendipitous energy. We also discuss how to avoid luck-based paranoia and the importance of having fun with these traditions. Want more metaphysical mystery and magick? Follow us on social!

    The Dichotomy of Love Entities

    Modern society has a tendency to apply modern ideas and symbolism to ancient entities, diluting their original meaning and purpose—especially when it comes to love deities. We’ve all seen the insipid depictions of baby Cupid with his quiver full of love darts, and Aphrodite depicted as a loveable airhead. However, nothing could be further from the truth. As Shannon and I discuss in our latest episode, love has a multitude of facets—some sweet, some sour, and some downright deadly.  Want more metaphysical mystery and magick? Follow us on social!

    Feeling the Flow: Following & Riding Energy

    Energy is everything and it is constantly moving, flowing, and changing. These are basic universal truths but can be difficult to wrap our minds around our personal energy, power, and magickal practice.  As practitioners, we raise, work with, and attune to the energies of our surroundings on an almost instinctive level. Sometimes, though, feeling, knowing, and following our personal energies can be some of the most intensive work we do for your growth and empowerment.  Join us in this episode as Megan and I discuss how we’ve become disconnected from the natural flow of energy, and explore how to start feeling and tapping into our own personal energy to heal the disconnection.  Want more metaphysical mystery and magick?
