    Annabelle/DWTS, Retrogrades & Cursed Movies

    Annabelle, Cursed Movies & Mercury Retrograde | Halloween Spirituality with Carly DThis Halloween week, Carly D explores the spooky intersection of pop culture, paranormal lore, astrology, and spirituality in this episode of Magic in Media. From the chilling legend of the Annabelle doll to the unsettling behind-the-scenes stories of The Omen and The Exorcist, we’re diving into the mysteries, strange occurrences, and supernatural stories that continue to fascinate us. Inspired by the Annabelle-themed Halloween dance performed by Conner Wood and Rylee Arnold on Dancing with the Stars, Carly takes a closer look at the real-life Raggedy Ann doll associated with the infamous Annabelle haunting, the reported experiences surrounding the doll, and the stories connected to its travels through reportedly haunted locations. Then, we shift from paranormal activity to planetary energy as Carly discusses Mercury retrograde and Venus retrograde, exploring their astrological associations with communication, relationships, travel, technology, beauty, pleasure, personal values, and self-reflection. She also looks back to the fall of 2018 and shares a reminder that retrogrades don't have to be frightening—they can be opportunities to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and appreciate the everyday magic already present in our lives. The spooky stories continue with reported strange incidents surrounding the productions of The Omen and The Exorcist, including unusual animal behavior, plane incidents, a mysterious set fire, on-set injuries, and a priest's blessing. These stories have helped fuel the enduring fascination with so-called cursed movies and the paranormal lore surrounding Hollywood. As Halloween and Día de los Muertos approach, Carly reflects on the idea of the veil between worlds, the importance of honoring our ancestors and loved ones who have passed, and the power of finding magic in ordinary moments. ✨ In this episode, we explore: The Annabelle doll's real-life origins and reported hauntingConner Wood and Rylee Arnold's Annabelle-inspired Halloween dance on Dancing with the StarsThe paranormal stories and legends associated with AnnabelleMercury retrograde and Venus retrograde meanings and themesAstrology, communication, relationships, and personal growthThe unsettling production stories behind The Omen and The ExorcistCursed movies, Hollywood legends, and supernatural folkloreHalloween spirituality, Día de los Muertos, and honoring ancestorsWhy slowing down and appreciating everyday life can be its own kind of magicWhether you're fascinated by paranormal investigations, astrology, haunted dolls, cursed Hollywood movies, or the spiritual meaning of Halloween, this episode invites you to explore the unexplained while remembering what matters most.

    Libra Full Moon, Summer House Prediction & Project Hail Mary

    This “Magic in Media” episode covers the vibes of the Libra Full Moon but in a way that’s actually fun, insightful, and a little bit cosmic. We’re getting into how this relationship-focused energy is showing up not just in real life, but in pop culture too, especially through Summer House and Project Hail Mary. And no, we’re not here for messy drama recaps we’re talking predictions, subtle shifts, and those “wait… things feel different now” moments. Think: evolving friendships, unexpected alignments, and people choosing peace over chaos (finally). At the same time, we dive into the magic behind Project Hail Mary and why its core themes, connection, cooperation, and unlikely partnerships, feel perfectly timed with this Full Moon energy. It’s giving cosmic alignment in the best way: reality TV shows us where things are out of balance, while sci-fi reminds us what’s possible when things actually work.  This episode ties it all together in a way that feels light, a little mystical, and very “of the moment” because sometimes the universe really does have a sense of humor about what we’re all watching.
