    Ep. 36 Growth is Malefic

    Welcome to another Scarlet Muse radio hour episode: solo episodes where I give a tour of the inside of my mind: Here's what been up this week: I think growth is malefic.  Malefic energy separates, limits, constricts, ends, and pokes. The malefic planets, the ones who are responsible for brining this energy into our charts and lives, are Mars and Saturn. Because of the prefix, mal, malefic energy can be interpreted as “bad” but that is only one facet. A river is limited and constrained by its banks but without them the water wouldn’t flow, marine life couldn’t grow, and the whole thing would be swampy and kind of meh. The banks are devoted to the water in the same way that malefic energy is devoted to success and wellbeing.  Working with Death Magick, ending things, and creating containers for death to happen, malefic energy is definitely present.  However, it’s in service to growth and development. The destruction and witness clears the path for creative and magickal expansion. The most success and wellbeing in magick and in everything comes from accepting and working within the limits at hand.  The key limit I work with in my practice is attachment to an old of doing/being. This attachment shares the space available for a new thing, for being a new way and enjoying bigger magick, so when it is left untended, there is not as much energetic space for new magickal and creative works to root, and they may be slow, or stale, or not hold.  Reverence and care for the malefic process within growth honours what was and facilitates the transition into what will be.    Think actually separating, that was then, this is now.  Think actually feeling closure and meaning it.  Think actually enjoying reminiscing on who you used to be and what you use to do instead of feeling an awkward mix of grief and avoidance.  This is Death Magick and this is why growth is malefic.

    Ep. 35 Death is Food for the Mystery (what I’m up to and why)

    Welcome to the unspooling of the phrase that has been dancing around my mind all week:  Death is Food for the Mystery In this solo episode I go off on:  - how to grow your magick even if you don’t really knowing what that means  - what manifestation misses about Magick:  - the clarity and power of accounting for death within the cycles of growth and change - my main business deity and the origin story  About me:  Hello!

    Ep. 34 “Self Care” vs Showing up to your Mission (WTF and what to do) w/Danelle Gallo

    It's a psychedelic inquiry wormhole starring Danelle Gallo I get my shining golden answer in this conversation and we get into the depth of how and why.  You'll leave knowing... ★ how to use witness as a powerful identity tool (horror and wonder included) ★ how to expand the conditions that you're willing to show up and connect under ★ and how to find your rhythm between "get paid to exist" and "grind for glory" culture We get into the question that has been haunting and taunting me all last month (AND answer it!!) When faced with uncomfortable circumstances, which are part of a cycle, but seem to clash with my devotion to the work (AKA it feels so hard to start and to connect). Do I go for it anyway, and just start and hope it will be enjoyable once I get into it???  OR  do I create kind of a soft place to land, and then, once I feel better enter into the work?  I love what I do but I also love not terrorising the parts of me that are afraid of visibility, especially when I’m not feeling my best or even anything close to that. But I want consistency and more reach… what is the way forward?  So , I’m sharing this conversation that changed how I think about devotion and noticeably increased my practical access to purpose. Drop a comment if you’ve also been tangling with some of these questions lately, I would love to hear about it.  AND Definitely check out Danelle's work on instagram at @nurse_nell She is a gem and a legend. _______________ About me:  I’m Noelani, I am the Head Witch of The Scarlet Muse.  I help magical people end patterns, eras, and identities with ritual and somatic integration.  I am a trauma-informed Death Witch with a bottomless lust for connecting to consciousness, hermetics, and the Mystery.  And I am devoted to creating tender and hardcore spaces for endings within a culture that tends to ignore them.  My job as a Death Witch is to support you honouring and closing what has already been so that you can experience the return of your creative power and grow your magick  I trust your Mystery,  paradox, and strangeness, I want more of it visible in the world.  Doors to my work:  1:1 Death Witch Magick consults (free and fun and with tarot)  - come if you are at a crossroads in your life  - come if you want to reorient yourself within the larger cycles of time  - come if there is something big you want to let go of and something big you want to welcome  The Silver Thread Next meeting: April 20th, 8am EST, zoom.  Get all the support, emotional validation, and beckoning into the lunar mysteries  you ever wanted, in community:  Monthly calls, ongoing alchemical Moon chat Designed for queerness.

    Ep. 32 Planetary Cronies and Tarot Initiations with Britten LaRue

    N: How do you hold the mantle of being a witch at the center of things?  B: You know, you just keep showing up and shedding skin  This conversation roves over planetary work, how to claim your magic, the art of death and finding yourself in spiral time.  We begin orienting ourselves to the death cycles of eclipse season and late winter.  Britten and I are united in our work with mystical people, witchcraft, and death magic.  She is also a fellow, astrologer and tarot devotee. Britten knows how to unspool a story so that its magic finds the listener.  As you will be able to tell from listener to the conversation. She’s one of those people who really trusts the Mystery as a collaborator.  And so, her words have a bit of a psychedelic effect.  Most recommended, course.  More about Britten:  Britten LaRue, M.A. is a teacher, author, and astrologer known for helping big-hearted humans tap into and embody their malefic parts—the fierce, boundaried, and truth-telling aspects of the self that make clarity, empowerment, and specificity possible. Through her framework of Emergence Astrology and her year-round ecosystem Living Emergence, Britten guides mystics, intuitives, and creative visionaries in remembering their own wisdom and unshaming their magic. A former art historian turned speech-artist of astrology, Britten’s teaching merges scholarly precision with intuitive revelation, inviting her students to root their magic in lived reality. She is the host of the beloved podcast Moon to Moon, co-host of Crystal Ballers, and author of Living Astrology: How to Weave the Wisdom of All 12 Signs into Your Everyday Life. At the heart of all her work is a devotion to collective transformation through intimacy and voice, helping others trust themselves again with the reckless freedom they deserve.
