    30 Energetic Hygiene & Past Lives with Eliel Fionn

    Energetic Hygiene & Past Lives with Eliel Fionn | Cauldron Her Daddy On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley interview Eliel Fionn, an intuitive with synesthesia who describes learning to filter constant energetic information, developing “dimmer switches,” and using touch and Reiki to read energy. They discuss practical energetic hygiene like clearing during a shower, using salt to cleanse spaces (especially transitional hubs like airports and hospitals), and maintaining personal boundaries. The conversation critiques outsourcing authority to institutions or spiritual leaders, warns about spiritual abuse and perfection narratives, and emphasizes cultivating internal authority and responsibility. Eliel shares perspectives on past-life patterns, soul “majors,” non-linear time, and recurring relationships, including the hosts’ shared themes of rebellion, creating alternatives, and activism. They also explore martyrdom, codependency, grief after suicide, and choosing love over grief, ending with Eliel reading her poem “Quest” and sharing contact details.

    28: The Pentacle with Courtney Weber

    The Pentacle with Courtney Weber Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley interview author and tarot advisor Courtney Weber about her upcoming book, “Pentacle: The Shape of Power.” Courtney discusses the pentacle’s history and meanings, the pentagram vs. pentacle distinction, its links to ancient symbols and later occult sources like the Key of Solomon, and how it became a modern witch symbol through Gerald Gardner, Wicca, and counterculture, including Satanic Panic and ritual theater like the 1960s attempt to “levitate” the Pentagon. The conversation expands into symbolism, honesty about magical sources, rejecting dualistic “good/bad” thinking, how deities reflect human experience, and the effects of patriarchal Christianity, purity culture, and Christian nationalism. Courtney shares upcoming events and where to find her work; Meredith and Sarai share their own offerings. Pre-Order Pentacle: The Shape of Power here! Work with Courtney!
