Witch Wednesdays Witch Wednesdays

Today I'm chatting with musician, medium, and sound healer Laura Carbone. A renowned witchy artist who’s based in Berlin and spends time in LA, Laura's lush and ambitious double concept album, The Cycle, is filled with melodic folk and goth/rock influences, and explores the emotional turmoil, trials and challenges the album’s protagonist faces during the changing seasons of the year. She’s also toured the world with The Jesus & Mary Chain and Dennis Lyxzén of Refused and performed at festivals around the world. Laura is also a sound facilitator and psychic medium. She suppressed her psychic and intuitive gifts until they became undeniable and she had the courage to share them through the company she founded, Cosmic Dreaming.
