Belief, Being, & BEYOND!

Text the Show The Moon has been shaping life on Earth since before humans had words for wonder, and we don’t have to treat that as metaphor. We sit down with Lady Jesamyn Angelica, priestess, ritualist, and oracle, to talk about the Moon as a real force: tides, water, bodies, evolution, and the quiet ways lunar cycles show up in our moods, choices, and rituals. If you’ve ever felt pulled toward mo...

His book Healing the Land Teaches Us Who We Are brings “hard science...

Text the Show Tarot isn’t just a mirror for your personal life. It can also be a language for breaking the spell of colonized thinking. We sit down with Christopher Marmolejo, author of The Red Tarot, to talk about divination as a “literacy of liberation” and what it looks like to read the cards through a queer, trans, decolonial lens. We get honest about how colonization trains us to treat certai...

How do you know who to approach, what to offer, and whether you’re crossing a line culturally or spiritually? We sit down with prolific modern witchcraft author Deborah Blake to talk about The Everyday Witch Book of Deities and what it looks like to build a real relationship with ancient Deities in a modern...

Text the Show The world is loud about who you “should” be, and it can slowly train you to think, feel, and even believe on command until your own life no longer feels like yours. We slow all of that down and turn inward, following a medicine woman and shamanic perspective on what it means to find balance and harmony within yourself so your life can change from the inside out. If you’ve been cravin...

Bedell to get practical about Powerful Powders and why magical powders remain one of the most versatile tools in spellcraft, hoodoo, conjure, and Southern folk magic. From dressing candles to building container spells, from dusting a threshold to laying a “path” that acti...

Text the Show If shadow work makes you think of something evil, you’ve been sold a story that keeps you small. We sit down with Reverend Stefani Michelle, an interfaith minister with deep metaphysical roots, and talk about shadow work the way it actually works as a natural part of being human, the “hidden” parts of us that still steer our choices until we bring them into the light with compassion...

Guided for decades by the ascended master Ashlem through the late Reverend Bob C...

Text the Show Change can feel chaotic until you have language for it. We sit down with astrologer and author Narayana Montúfar  to decode 2026 as a year that anchors a wider shift that started in 2020—out of heavy earth patterns and into an era defined by air and fire: ideas, networks, learning, and bold beginnings. Instead of fortune-telling, we focus on practical astrology you can use, the kind...

We brought together Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani and Sherry Shone “That Hoodoo Lady” to talk about hoodoo as it’s actually lived: messy, embodied, ancestor-led, and unapologetically focused on liberation.

We invite Reverend Laura González to guide us through the deeper roots of Día de Muertos, far beyond costumes and candy. Laura opens the door to a pre‑colonial worldview where time moves in cycles, not lines: the blooming of flowers, the falling of fruit, and th...
