87. The Witch's Workshop and Creating Magical Tools w/ Melissa Madara

Melissa Jayne Marada https://www.instagram.com/saint.jayne/ joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to share about their new book, The Witch's Workshop and about the power of creating one’s own magical tools and materials. Topics discussed include making your own incense and recipes for different types, dying your own magical chords, creating inks and much more, as well as getting into some theory about deconstructing magical operations in order to better understand how they function. We’ll ask, “can you talk shit to the gods and still have your operations work?” and discuss the Lunar Occult; and Melissa’s online group, Moon Cvlt.  Melissa will share thoughts about what it means to organize a magical community in a way that’s functional and empowers all involved. Luxa shares listener mail and an update about The Green Mushroom Project and Void House- creating a consent forward magical space for conducting group work both in person and online and investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent. Much Love!
