Open Magic

In this episode we discuss how to find spiritual teachers, connect with likeminded seekers, and even how to share the knowledge you have with others. Learn some red flags to avoid, how to trust your judgment, and find the groups and teachers that are right for your path. 

In this episode we address the common myths about tarot, astrology, and witchcraft. From the old classic "you have to be gifted your first tarot deck" to musings on Mercury retrograde, we dive headlong into exploring and debunking some of the confusion while sharing our personal takes on how to work around these ideas. 

In this episode we explore how to use practices like tarot, meditation, astrology, and more to navigate difficult, challenging, or downright strange times in life. Learn what tools we use in our personal practices and our tips for dealing with doubt, overwhelm, and fearful thinking.    RESOURCES -------------- Journeying and the Forty Servants by Bri Try This: Thrift Store Tarot by Gina
