    Boob Crystal Taboos

    Castle of Wizardry, Chapter 1 Garion’s tripping on memories being recalled by the Orb, as the company flies down through the caves beneath Rak Cthol inside the earthquake triggered by Ctuchik’s utter destruction. He’s the one witness who truly understands the struggle of faith Relg goes through in his decision to pass through the rockfall and rescue Taiba. Sondra has book promo excitement and nerves, and is fizzing over the new words she wrote into the draft of Emerald on Her Tongue. Creativism is how she lives! Also she performs a micro recorder concert, just livin’ her best Shire life. Alysia’s in the flow of writing magic, stunning herself with the brilliance of her writing chops and remembering to love her 3D self. She convinces Sondra to stop being so stuck and decided about shows not being as good as the books from which they’re derived. They’re both swapping discoveries of witches.

    An Entirely Possible Starsword

    Castle of Wizardry, Prologue Garion’s family history with lots of story Easter eggs about the Rivan blood line’s relationship with the orb, Tolnedrans, and Nyissans. Sondra has realised, as she pens the series of introductory emails for new GKU subscribers, that she should probably take a sec to celebrate her achievements. Alysia is finalising her last Raven Dreams book and finding inspiration in music again amid demanding household transformations. They’re both of the opinion that motherhood is hard, breathing is good, and reading is a safe space.

    Perceptions of Perverted Minds

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 27 Garion follows Wolf through the strange and horrible rooms of Ctuchik’s tower as the orb song swells in his body and mind. His grandfather does battle with the evil magician until Ctuchik destroys himself, the aftermath of which cracks the city apart around them. In the end Garion scoops up the innocent orb thief just in time to flee the wreckage and re-enter the caves. Sondra is in data overload recovery (again) after coming down from the excitement of fresh, juicy learnings and is reminding herself to also breathe. Alysia is feeling the richness of her writing and the Muse is spinning tales for her to birth the fiction and nonfiction of our lives. They’re both delighted to discover proof of a new and completely magical heart connection between the two of them. Soul sisters across the sea.

    Over the Edge

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 26 Garion is in the thrall of some intense emotions: fear saturated slave pens, Brill’s surprise ambush and Silk’s bout of hand-to-hand combat with the assassin, anger at the horror of worship in the temple of Torak, and the subsequent draining of his will to destroy it all. Sondra has redesigned and reissued her whole Embodying Earth series of books and must be in alignment because she accidentally created a new book while she was at it. Alysia is in a week of beginnings and nurturing her body, her dreaming, her financial resources, her self-assurance. They’re both ready to welcome abundance into their lives. It’s all about lightening intense energies by rising to meet the call. Stick around for "Prophecy Speaks", the segment of the show where  real magic is on display and you are invited to join in.

    Serenading Death

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 25 Garion follows Relg into the darkness of the caves beneath Rak Cthol, climbing up sheer rock for hours to reach the slave pens. He gives Taiba the escaped and dying Marag slave his cloak, and finds out Ctuchic killed her two baby girls, sacrificing them on the altar to Torak. Sondra is intoxicated by the sensuousness of the warming forest. She’s cycled around to connecting with people and her creations again. Alysia is once again experiencing the negatives and positives of corona times, and emerging into a blooming season. They’re both centred in the clearing of whatever is ready to shift: emotional, physical, and spiritual.

    Learning to Pray on Horseback

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 23 Garion swims through black sand with sea monsters in the freezing wasteland of an empty sea, while Silk turns inside out in the aftermath of his internal rockslide. There’s a bit of swordplay, axeplay, and rockplay before the company sets course over shaking ground toward the smoking volcano. Sondra is in the depths of despair of ever being able to finish watching Anne with an E, and poking her sore spots. Alysia is toasting her happy birthday with friends and a couple of quiet whiskeys, and shedding happy tears in celebration of new readers in her world. They’re both paralleling their lives a decade apart and in this now moment, too. There is also some fangirling over Eckhart Tolle.

    The Taste of Rock

    Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 22 Garion slides back down into the gully with Barak with the news of Silk’s capture. He waits around with everyone else for hours in the dark, spiralling down internally into guilt and grief, remembering Lelldorin for the first time in ages, while Relg prays his way through the rock wall of the pit to rescue Silk. Sondra has been ambushed by a year of work upending down the drain. Now she’s finding the advantages of a startling change of direction. Is panic the appropriate response to her youngest daughter’s discovery of “Pawn of Prophecy” in a favourite second hand book shop and beginning to read the story? Alysia is feeling the synchronicity of her life and being let from the beyond by Wayne Dyer. He’s in her Kindle! She’s moved to tears at the connection and resonance of flowing in a state of non-resistance. They both have favourite rollercoasters but like to avoid vom time. It’s a nice balance. Kind of like motherhood. Stick around for "Prophecy Speaks", the segment of the show where  real magic is on display and you are invited to join in.
