    The Fire Within: Tending the Inner Flame During Dark Times

    Send a text In times of darkness, exhaustion, and uncertainty, the work is not to burn brighter—but to tend the fire within. The Fire Within: Tending the Inner Flame During Dark Times explores what it means to protect your inner flame when energy is low, hope feels distant, or life asks you to slow down. This episode reflects on fire as a spiritual symbol of resilience, devotion, and quiet endurance rather than constant action or productivity. We talk about burnout, grief, and inner winters, and how tending the flame can look like rest, boundaries, presence, and gentle rituals instead of force or striving. This is an invitation to honor where you are, conserve your energy, and remember that even the smallest flame carries warmth, direction, and life. You are not meant to blaze endlessly—you are meant to endure, transform, and be held by the fire that lives within you.

    Raven Medicine: Wisdom, Shadow, and the Threshold Between Worlds

    Send a text The raven is a keeper of thresholds, moving between light and shadow, life and death, and the seen and unseen. In Raven Medicine: Wisdom, Shadow, and the Threshold Between Worlds, we explore the raven as a sacred messenger, trickster, and guide through transformation. Drawing from myth, folklore, and shamanic symbolism, this episode examines raven medicine as an invitation into shadow work, liminal spaces, and rebirth. We reflect on what it means when raven energy appears in your life, why it is often misunderstood, and how it offers profound wisdom during times of transition and initiation. This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, navigating loss or change, or feeling called to explore the deeper mysteries hidden within the dark.

    Imbolc: Awakening the Light and the Seeds of Spring

    Send us a text Imbolc, one of the ancient Celtic fire festivals, marks the sacred midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is a time when the first stirrings of life awaken beneath the frozen earth, when the light begins its steady return, and when the promise of renewal can be felt even in the heart of winter. In this episode, we explore the spiritual and mythic roots of Imbolc, its connection to the goddess Brigid, and the symbolism of fire, milk, and early spring blossoms. We reflect on Imbolc as a threshold moment—a pause between what has been and what is becoming—inviting us to tend our inner flame, plant intentions, and listen for the quiet call of new beginnings. Join us as we journey into the meaning of this sacred season, honor the awakening earth, and explore simple rituals and reflections to help you align with the returning light and the seeds of spring stirring within your own soul.

    The Sacred Cat

    Send us a text The Sacred Cat Across cultures and across time, cats have been seen as guardians, mystics, and beings who walk effortlessly between worlds. In this episode, we explore the spiritual symbolism of cats—from ancient Egypt to modern energy work—and why these intuitive, independent creatures have long been associated with protection, the unseen realms, and feminine mystery. We’ll talk about why cats are often misunderstood, how they sense energy, and what it may mean when a cat shows up as a spiritual companion, guide, or totem in your life.

    Embracing the Crone Era

    Send us a text Join Kim and Aericka for a power women's circle that talks about the Magical, Mental and Medical aspects of Menopause January 18th, 2026 from 6pm to 8pm At Stella Luna 264 Queen st suite B, Southington CT. Link below https://www.facebook.com/share/181sGobh7m/ In this episode of Curious Mystics, we step into the sacred threshold of the Crone Era—the powerful life stage often misunderstood in modern culture but revered across ancient traditions. Through the lens of menopause, mythology, and spiritual initiation, we explore how this transition is not a decline, but a rising into wisdom, sovereignty, and embodied magic. From global perspectives that honor the post-menopausal woman as seer, healer, and way-shower, to the energetic and emotional shifts that awaken deeper intuition and inner authority, this conversation reframes aging as an initiation into one’s most potent self. This is an invitation to release fear, reclaim reverence for the aging feminine, and remember the wild, luminous power of the Crone within.

    Beyond Limiting Beliefs: How the Subconscious Mind Guides Our Growth

    Send us a text So much of what shapes our choices, habits, and emotions lives beneath the surface. In this episode, Aericka, Kim and Eric Zajac explore how the subconscious mind holds old stories, learned patterns, and generational imprints — and how those hidden beliefs quietly influence our lives. We talk about: ✨ why resistance shows up when you try to grow ✨ how limiting beliefs form (and why they’re surprisingly protective) ✨ using a decision matrix to shift stuck patterns ✨ the power of rewriting the meaning of past events ✨ emotional triggers as signposts — not problems ✨ how coaching helps create safe, sustainable change We also dive into generational healing, subconscious breakthroughs, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery — reminding ourselves that healing doesn’t happen all at once… it unfolds layer by layer. If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I keep repeating this pattern?”, this conversation is for you.

    Winter Solstice Magic: Reflection, Renewal & the Return of Light

    Send us a text The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year—a sacred pause in the natural cycle where darkness is not something to fear, but something to honor. In this episode, we reflect on the deeper spiritual meaning of the Winter Solstice: a time of stillness, release, and quiet renewal. As the light begins its slow return, we explore what it means to rest, reflect, and set intentions that feel rooted rather than rushed. This is an invitation to slow down, honor what has been, and gently welcome what is becoming. Whether you celebrate the solstice through ritual, reflection, or simply by listening to the rhythms of the season, this episode offers space to reconnect with yourself and the wisdom of the dark. Settle in, breathe deeply, and meet the magic of the longest night. Follow us on: instagram @curious_mystics_podcast Facebook - Curious Mystics Podcast Email us at curiousmysticspodcast@gmail.com
