Participant #1:
Hello, everyone. Welcome to episode eight of season three. If you have just joined us, I am Robin of at, a tired witch on Instagram, and I’m joined by the beautiful Maria. We have the arcane on Instagram. Why, hello. Welcome. Before we get started, I just wanted to briefly acknowledge that you probably saw that we did not do an episode last week or I guess two weeks ago. And if you didn’t see our social media, that is simply because there were really serious situations going on within the occult community regarding the outright white supremacy, transphobia, racism, et cetera, et cetera. These were allegations that were brought to the Internet. We are not going to get into them here because quite frankly, we don’t feel like that is the space to acknowledge this sort of thing. But we did not record last week simply to give space for that on the Internet. And I do want to stress that we weren’t involved in it. No, I know that we made a statement about it on Coffee and Coldren’s Instagram. I know people were like, what’s going on? And quite frankly, we were not involved in it. But simultaneously, this is not a gossip podcast. I did a statement about it on Twitter. If you want to look at that, you can. But simultaneously, it was simply to give space for people that were sharing experiences and talking about that. And we didn’t want to take away from that because we don’t want people to listen to us just because of that. Jackie, we want you to listen to us because you like what we have to say. All right? And we are not a podcast that has ever and will ever capitalize in situations that deal with stuff like that. So that’s all. We’re not going to get into any further. We just wanted to explain here on the podcast that we have not been involved in any kind of accusations of white supremacy or similar because there seemed to be a little bit of confusion by that. So just to be clear, we’re not racist or transphobic here,
Participant #1:
but we just want to lightly touch on that.
Participant #1:
If you listen to us before or if you’re brand new, every single week, we talk about upcoming lunar phases and how you can use them in your magical practice. Now, that being said, welcome to eclipse season, everyone. Are you having fun? I’m not.
Participant #1:
Welcome to hell on Earth. We are currently in eclipse season and the most recent, the upcoming lunar phase in, I don’t know, conjunction to this episode is going to be the full moon in Scorpio on May 15. But it is also a lunar eclipse as well as retrograde starts on May 10. It will be ending on June 2. It would be my personal opinion that although I tell people, do whatever you want with eclipses, that’s not my business, it would be my personal recommendation to tell you all to not fucking touch this one with a ten foot pole. While the Scorpio full moon is going to bring a lot of emotional material to the surface, we are going to be looking at energies that deal with intimacy, transformation, and we can also be exploring things like abandonment in our own self worth and sexuality because it is a full moon eclipse as well as Mercury retrograde, you might be finding that dealing with emotions and communication is going to be a bit of a shit in a handbasket.
Participant #1:
Listen, I always tell people that when it comes to eclipses that you could do what you want. They are historically known as an omen. But simultaneously different paths and practices have different exploration when it comes to eclipses. And so I definitely am not going to sit there and say don’t do it. But simultaneously, given the fact that it is a Scorpio full moon, an eclipse and retrograde, I personally would recommend just not. I do say if someone does work with the like I’m going to work with the full moon, but I’m going to work on it after the eclipse happens, on the idea on the second day of the third day of the full moon. So I’m going to work with the crown aspect that makes sense when we have things like the Scorpio full moon because Scorpio moons specifically deal with things like intimacy, transformation and self worth. But then we also mix it with the retrograde where we have things like misfires and communication, that sort of thing. All I’m going to say is that when we have all these things together, you can definitely work with the full moon if you want to. I’m definitely not trying to be fear mongering, but what I will say is that make sure that you are really checking in with yourself and things like how we are communicating our intimacy and that transformation. You might be feeling a little bit extra like you want to text the ex or do magic that deals with getting back together with the ex or similar. Just really have a check in with yourself before deciding to explore magic at this time. Because you might be finding that your personal desires are perhaps being a little bit, how do we word this unkind to yourself in terms of things like love and intimacy. Because remember, intimacy, although, yes, it can mean things like sexuality. Intimacy is really just anybody that you’re willing to be vulnerable with. And vulnerability is subjective. Vulnerability has a lot of different faces and a lot of different masks. You might be being more intimate with a best friend, telling them a little bit more vulnerability. You might be being more intimate because you are going to go and have sex with somebody. It’s layered, right? Intimacy is objective. And so all I would say is if you do want to use this full moon, do make sure you have a real and sincere check in with yourself before moving forward. Yeah. And I do feel like if you’re also going to work with this moon scorpion. Scorpion. Scorpion is a protection sign. So like sting back and stuff like that. And it actually relates to our discussion today. Yeah. But I would definitely be careful with gossiping or anything that will sting back. And also you can do during the chrome moon, which I will be talking about later, I will be involving those aspects to protect myself from things like that in that sort of aspect. Yes, I definitely agree with that.
Participant #1:
So just as I say, every single podcast, which I’m sure everyone loves, but anyways, if you just started listening to us, every podcast, we talk about a terror card. We go over the universal meaning and then our own interpretations of the card. Hearing other people’s opinions helps beginners form their own opinions, or even those who have been practicing for a while, expand their views on other meanings. So this week, we’re going to talk about the five of wands on the rider. Wade Smith version of this card. You’ll see five people standing like it looks kind of like a muddy on wet ground and they’re like fighting with their giant wand staff very more erotic. Well, have you looked at the tip of the staff? And ones I mean, the universal keywords to this are competition, conflict, challenges and chaos. So when this card pops up in readings, for me, most of the time it comes up as confusion and chaos. To me, the people on this card can also look like they’re saying, hey, look at my stick, look how big it is. Yes, phallic jokes aside, with all that in mind, a situation with this card come up would look like if someone is confused on how they should move forward when it comes to their growth and life path. They may have multiple offers or desires about where they want to go, or someone is being told that what they want and where they should go by many people, including adding additional confusion about what they actually want. And either case, if this card comes up in that way, I always say that while things look confusing on the outside, step back, look at each option, write a pros and cons list, and when you can, jump into the fray and tackle the direction that you want to go and do it alternatively. But keeping with that overwhelmed, chaotic theme, this card can also come up in situations like starting a new job or job hunting. It is so overwhelming at first, so many things are going on. You’ve got to learn the lay of the land, your job about your colleagues, dealing with dealing with where you want your job to go, the direction you want us to go in as well. And in this case, all you can do is just jump right into the phrase so you can emerge the victor, which we see this on the next card, the Six of Wands. This can also be said for times of competition. Like, let’s say you are up for a job promotion, and many people are buying for it. If you want even a chance, you’ve got to go for it. You can’t just hang out on the sidelines and hope for the best. So how do you view this car? Rob and Deer, I thought we were going to disagree about this one. I was, like, fully prepared to be like Maria, but I fully agree with you. I view this card a lot as a Seven of Cups card. Very similar. The difference being is that instead of the Seven of Cups being kind of an isolated situation where we’re overwhelmed, there are people involved that are pulling us in those opposite directions. So, yeah, I really don’t have very much to add here. I really feel like I was prepared. I was prepared to beef you today and just absolutely bewildered that we have agreed. So,
Participant #1:
listen, will you be the AJ to my Justin Timberlake? Yes. I do feel it as a real conflict card. And that conflict coming from, like I said, outside forces. The positive side of this card is I do see it as something that sometimes can be a challenge that we welcome I don’t know, kind of mundane sense. You know, those what are they called? They’re like the warrior challenges, where they like, you’re racing, but it’s got, like, obstacles and stuff. I know what you’re talking about, but I’m brain Farting, what the name is. They’re like warrior ninja warrior. Right. I know what you’re thinking of. It’s like something that a regular person can do. And they usually you’re talking about the crazy one where the people run, like, a five K, and they’ll be like, Yeah, and I’m 4 miles of that. You’re, like, running through the mud, and you have to climb this wall.
Participant #1:
Okay, I was thinking Trojan, but I knew that was wrong anyway,
Participant #1:
on a Monday level. Right. It could literally mean something like that, where you have this challenge that’s going to be incredibly difficult, but you find yourself up for it, fully aware of it, that it’s going to be hard, and it’s exciting. Right. It also shows things like sportsmanship, playing football together, soccer and teamwork. And so, on the positive side, I do feel like there is that kind of conflict, but it is welcomed and something that you’re aware of. But on the negative side, like I said, I feel very much like a Seven of Cups card, except for you have external players with our passions and where we want to go. Yeah.
Participant #1:
This week, Maria and I thought that we could talk about reversal magic, both reversing your spells that you’ve done and what that looks like for us, as well as reversal magic, where it is sending magic back to somebody who magically sent something your way perhaps a hex jinx, et cetera, a mild inconvenience or big inconvenience, and kind of just like what our opinions are on that. Do we do them? How do we do them? So let’s start with reversals, where we are sending it back to somebody. Do you do them? Why do you do them? When do you do them? Maria? Okay, so I’m more likely to use a reversal spell than a hex. They’re actually part of my normal spell rotation because technically they’re protection magic. As a witch who has a larger following on social media, I have to be careful because people will just throw things at me because I can. And also as, like, a pansexual woman in a lesbian relationship, I get bad energy directed at me, like, every weekend with my wife when we do things together as a family with her little you know why that happens. And, like, let’s just be honest. It’s because your wife isn’t me. And if I was your wife, nobody would send that your way. I know it. I know they would. You’re my online wife. Some would say that marriage is more valid than one that is containing actual nuptials. I’m just saying. Exactly. Yeah. But I think most people don’t even consider that non witches can actually do damage depending on how much energy they have built up. When it comes to their hatred, disgust, or even, like, jealousy, they can and will direct it at you and reverse cells not only protect you, but sends energy back to sunder so they experience what they directed at you. So talk about how I reverse my own spells first. Yeah. Is that what we said? Yeah. Okay. So I don’t actually like to be honest with you. I think I’ve only reversed one of my spells, and that was a really long time ago. I don’t even remember how you guys never fucked up once. That’s crazy.
Participant #1:
I did the whole candle reversal where you take a knife and make and you cut the bottom of the candle so you can like the other end of the wick, which is probably something I would do now as well. And I may even add, like, herbs I used on the previous spells for the candle. And with the addition of charcoal to draw the energy back in, I could also see myself, like, writing out a spell on a piece of paper with washable markers, filling a basement full of salt water and charcoal and washing off the words in the water. I thought it was like, you saying this made me think of this. Have you seen people use wider race markers in water and then alcohol and it flows through the surface? No. I feel like that could be utilized in some sort of spell. I’ll find it and send it to you. I could be fucking this up, like how you do it, but I think you use alcohol and water and white erase markers and it, like, floats to the surface. That’s awesome. It’s science, actually. I’m a scientist. Yeah, she is. I’m a medical doctor. Let’s see the degree, Robin. Just kidding. I have a degree of the land, Maria. Okay. Have you ever considered that? Should I talk about how I use regular reversal spells for people, or do you want me to go ahead, unlike Maria, do fuck up spells sometimes? Maria, of course, is perfect and never does it. But I do fuck them up sometimes. And when I fuck up a spell, I try to recreate the spell, but in reverse. So, like, if I had ash, let’s say, from something I burned, if I still had that from the spell, I would use that as the base of working backwards. And I would try basically to go, like, literally do the spell backwards to the best of my ability. Obviously, there are limitations that, like, let’s say you burn the candle, right? Well, then we’re going to flip the candle upside down, kind of like Maria described. But I would put the leftover ash from that other candle at the base of the spell and then work backwards from there. That is how I have done it historically. Now, I don’t do them that often, though. I’m giving Maria a ton of shit right now. In reality, I’ve probably done it about a dozen times ever in, like, 20 years. So that’s really not that much. I’m just lazy. Like, if that spell goes out, I’m like, oh, shit. I’ll do God’s hands now. Jesus Christ mess up. That has nothing to do with me at a side out of mind, baby. But that’s historically how I’ve done it is I do my best to work backwards from where it ended. And I found good success in that in doing it that way. So, of course there are limitations, like I said, and you’re going to have to essentially may do. But you know what I mean. There’s only so many things that you can recreate. So do your best, of course, to work backwards from that. If you have things like leftover wax or leftover ash, you can always put that at the base of the spell in the working backwards. Yeah, god speed. But I think situation warrant that sort of thing. When do you like reverse spells? When do you feel like you need to the times at which I have done a spell reversal is because I was not literal enough when I was doing my spell, where it has maybe worked in a different area than I would like and a little too well. For example, maybe doing like, a spell, let’s say, to bring in money, right? And you’re like, okay, I need some more money right now. I would like some prosperity. And then I do the spell, and all of a sudden I’m, like, so swamped with orders or work that I actually cannot keep up. And I’m drowning. That has happened. That’s happened to me too. That’s why I’m laughing. One time I did a spell I was doing a couple of years ago when I did the launch with Tired, which to include more items like tools in my store. I did a spell for that to be successful. And I actually had so many orders that I had to shut the shop down because I’m one person. I don’t have a staff. I was overwhelmed. I literally was working sun up to sun down for like five straight days just to get orders packed out. I had like a tik tok video go viral. Don’t know why. Don’t know why that one went viral. Well, I do because I don’t fucking spell work for it. But it was literally one of those situations where it was, careful what you wish for. Because I was forgetting to eat. My back was fucked because I was standing literally 15 hours a day. I was so overwhelmed. And it was like, yeah, I was glad to have success, but at what fucking cost? And so I had done a reversal at that time because I was like, this is too much. Like, thank you so much, universe. Too much. So that was an example of the time that I had done a reversal. Yeah, that makes sense. So how about for you? What do you do for reverse spells for people throwing shit at you? So, for me, I don’t typically hex people. It’s
Participant #1:
not that I don’t believe in them. I have done them in the past. It’s just not my historic go to. Usually when I’m in a situation where I might need to hug someone, they’re already sending that shit my direction because apparently they got the time and I don’t. So I just do a reversal in situations like that. Nothing bad will happen to you if you’re not selling shit my way. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I do reversals for that. And there are two methods that I have that are tried and true methods. The first one is the upside down candle reversal spell. So basically, you get a black candle. Some people leave it at just a black candle. I get a black candle and a red candle and I cut them in half. So I get a prime candle, right? I cut them in half and then I heat the bottom well, like the center bit. So I get the top half of the candle is the red, and the bottom half of the candle is black. I heat up the center so that way I can essentially glue them back together, right? And then I flip that candle upside down. And sometimes I’ll put it in like, grave dirt. Sometimes I’ll put it in powdered shells, like shells, crab shells, that sort of thing. And then I will light the candle upside down to send stuff back their direction. And of course, this will obviously have things like writing the target’s name on it, et cetera. And I put it in front of a mirror and there might be a spell that goes with it. Depends of course, on the situation, et cetera. And then my other go to is the triple action reversal candle. You know, I’m a big fan of glass, like boat of candles, nobena candles. They are like a special kind of candle that you get from a botanica. Typically the top half is white and the bottom half is red or the bottom half will be black. It depends on the manufacturer. I prefer the ones with the top half is white and the bottom half is red. But that’s just personal preference. I wouldn’t say necessarily that one is better than the other. But the white half is symbolizing kind of the purification and cleansing of what’s going on and the bottom half is representing sending it back. So, like I said, black or red works. I prefer red. Teach their own. I always dress the candle with the reversing oil. I put it in front of a mirror. You can add herbs like groove or dill to your dressing candle. At the top it’s again, totally up to you. And then I put on a piece of paper under the candle who the target is, so who I think is sending shit my way, I put paper underneath it and then I’ll do like prayer or spell over the candle and I’ll leave it burning. I never put it out, even when I go to sleep, these candles until it’s gone. My wife is somewhere like get your wife shaking her fist in the air. Like don’t tell people it’s not safe. Listen guys, it’s not safe to do that. But sometimes you got a way up with risk reward. What about you? I have a mirror that I charge annually actually, with the Scorpio full moons. And I think Scorpio full moons are absolutely perfect for reversal magic because scorpions came back, as I said in the beginning, and they protect themselves. But anyways, on the back of the mirror I write out things that I want protection from with a marker. I have things like gossiping texting, ill intentions and like many others. So I almost always add to it every time I charge it. So I don’t know, it has a lot of words on it by now. I give it a good cleanse before I set it out and hold it and fill it in with my intentions of safety. Protection like I’m visiting a bubble of protection over me and my family and our belongings and set it aside and also envisioning the mirror itself. And so whatever is trying to hit us just shoots back towards the person who shot it in the first place. And I do say it is important though, if you do decide to charge a mirror outside to get it back into the home before the sun comes up because it can reflect up into the sky, which is dangerous for planes and birds and things like that. So I recommend setting an alarm before sunset to go and get it. And if you are forgetful I would even do this bill if you don’t think that you’ll remember to get it. I also have, like, a return center spell that I use for many different things. It is basically a bill for what someone has done to me and that they owe me for the pain that they have caused. And I usually put, like, just what they have given back to them. And the payment is like with the universe. And I would work for hecket on this bill. And so what they see fit, usually what they will get back anyways, I write on the bill and in red ink, I write what they owe and I fold it three times away from me. I place in an envelope. And sometimes I put domination herbs in the envelope to help. But I would place that either on a window sill or for a full moon cycle. Or I would place it in front of a mirror for a full moon cycle. But those are the two things that I do. One is a continuous thing, and another one is just kind of to help when the mirror fails. But I do have, like, other ones. I think I’ve sent you one of my more extreme ones before, but we won’t get into that. We’re not going to get into that. Don’t ever ask me about that. The next time you think about asking about that, don’t. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Yeah. Listen, at the end of the day, I personally believe that reversal magic, although it can be Baneful, in my opinion, it is Baneful protection. Yes, 100%. Reversal magic is ultimately protection magic, and they come in a lot of different forms. As everyone knows, I wear a Maldeo haul every single day, which is another form of protection magic in reversal, if you will, of sorts. And I make every member of my family wear one. I think that they are just another form of protection magic. If you’re not being a shitty piece of person, a shitty piece of person, she says, are you being a shitty little piece of person, Maria? Sometimes. If you’re not a shitty person and you’re not hexing people, then you don’t have anything to worry about. And this is not, of course, to say that I’m anti hexing or that you shouldn’t hex. I think that hexing definitely has a time and a place. But I also think that there are other options out there before we hex in terms of the energy exchange. Yeah. And I do want to say reversal magic is another reason it is dire to reconsider before hexing another witch, even if it is for good reasons. Most witches who have been practicing for a while will have a reversal spell in place all day, every day. It is also a reason that many of us have to be careful with non hexing things, such as gossiping, doing something super passaggressive, but directing that energy towards another, which then that energy that you are annoyingly directing at that person might come and come right back at you, but just something to consider. Like I said, definitely not anti hexing here. Definitely not anti gainful magic here in the slightest bit. But there is a lot of nuance when it comes to these things. And as much as I hate the word nuance, as we all know, or at least Maria knows, because I bitch about it all the time to her, as much as I hate the word nuance, it is true. Like, there is a lot of nuance when it comes to these things, and hexing is not your only option. We have a lot of options here, and not that one is better than the other, but I personally feel like one has less chances of repercussions. Completely agree. That’s just my opinion, but I hope it’s helpful. It was a good conversation. Thank you. I think that we’re both really smart, actually. Smart, big brains.
Participant #1:
Before we move into the next segment, maria and I have a very cool announcement that you probably should have wrapped at the beginning, but we didn’t. So, Maria, do you want to tell the fine folks what we have? Yeah, we have merged, like, really cute, funny merge that we think that you guys would like, and I hope that you would check it out. It is actually in our link, on our link tree on Instagram and also Twitter, Facebook, whatever you’re listening on, so you can easily find it. And we hope you guys like all the stuff that we made, it is we designed everything. We spend way too much time doing that. And we have a Patreon exclusive one that will have come out the week before. You’re hearing us. Yeah. So we’re really proud of it. We hope you guys enjoy it. And if you’re somebody who has been asking for merch, because I know a lot of people have, I hope that you like it, we hope that you like it, and we appreciate you all so much for supporting the Patreon or the podcast on the Patreon. Yeah, possibly the Patreon, too. Yeah. And also supporting, like, you buying merch actually helps us keep going and keeps us out free, just like our Patreon members do. So we appreciate you.
Participant #1:
So, Robin, what is during your cauldron this week? Thank you so much for asking. Oh, my God. I didn’t laugh. I know. I’m proud of you. I’m so proud. What is my cold in this week is actually just getting outside. I’ve been chronically online, and I know that there is the joke about, like, going outside and touching grass, but I’ve actually been doing that in a pretty major way. My husband is a cyclist. He’s a semi professional cyclist and he’s been doing hill climb training. And one of the places that he goes and hill climb trains is directly next to a campground. The campground is currently closed, which means there’s no other people on there, but it’s also out of cell signal. There’s picnic benches, there’s places to sit and play and me and Smoke Ball have been going to the campground with him and we’ve been like having a picnic and being outside and just like being in nature and enjoying each other and leaving my phone in the car for like 3 hours. And it’s been really fun. I really enjoyed it. I love that you just sit on the sideline and cheer on Smokeballs’dad. Yeah, I think that’s fun. They started clapping and doing like yay. They go like pretty funny, cute. So we cheer on daddy and it’s very cute. Honestly, if stirring was my turn, I would have said the same thing because we’ve been going out on the weekends and going to our little nature spots and it’s been so nice, essentially so nice. It’s going to get so hot and so fucking humid that like I’m enjoying the cooler weather while I have it. Today it was 85 deg here and then today it’s 55 and raining. Global warming doesn’t exist, right? No, not at all. I was sarcasm for the record. Before somebody says that I’m like sarcasm sign. Hold it up s. Before somebody says that I’m a global warming denier. That was a joke. You’re such a flat earther. That’s true. We all live in a big bubble and there are people in the sky controlling everything we do love it. Literally.
Participant #1:
Maria, let’s not stirring your cold run this week. Let me tell you. So ever since I started using Twitter more, the more disappointed like I’ve become with the witch community. I don’t know if it is Twitter or what, but it brings out the worst in people. And not just people, not only witches, but people in general. It’s like everyone becomes the people we loathe on Facebook, but it’s fine because it’s Twitter and there are so many people, like passing judgments on other witches. Not even like righteous judgments, but people who think like better than others because they have done more research or practice in a certain way. And despite almost all of witchcraft being UPG, which is coming from different cultures and different walks of life and experiences and then like in the same breath, in another tweet, they’ll be like, oh, we’re all different with different practices. But the damage has been done. And I think people really need to own just people really don’t think that their shit doesn’t stink on there and it’s just so disheartening to say the very least. And the type of stuff, that type of stuff ruins our community and disenchants newer witches who were once enjoying their practice. And I’m just like, I’m just overall frustrated, which is why I left Twitter for the time being. I’m just so sick of it. We’re adults, but people are acting like mean kids in high school, and it’s not a good look and I don’t want any part in it. So I removed myself. And I know the stuff goes on in other spaces and even in person situations, like with witches, I don’t have a community, like, where I am, where I live. So I sought it out in online spaces. And I wish people would grow up and seek validation outside of hot takes and being rude to their fellow witches because they don’t understand their practices. I will second the fact that I fucking hate hot takes. I hate them. I’ve made like two ever that weren’t even hot takes. They were literally, like the most lukewarm of takes because I was frustrated about something else. These things were tepid at best,
Participant #1:
but I hate them most of the time. They come off. It’s just really mean, and it’s like, yeah, I don’t know. It’s hard to be Sweden on the Internet. And I feel like that gets me nowhere. So I get you. Yeah. I just don’t like to engage in that stuff. I don’t know, it’s just so stressful and I don’t know, just people like picking, like, why do you use that herb? That doesn’t make sense. Well, maybe it makes sense to them. Karen, think about it. Just take a second. And I don’t know, I’d rather just remove myself than be annoyed. I’m too compassionate of a person to be on Twitter. I guess what she’s trying to say is she just too nice. I am too nice.
Participant #1:
True. I’ve been saying for like, two straight years that you are not billed for Twitter. I said it to you. I said it about you. When you’re not around. I’m like, Maria is not cut out for Twitter. I don’t want her on there. And then you joined Twitter and what, three weeks later, you’re like, this place is mean. I feel like, you know that one gift from the show community where his face walks into the room and there’s a fire going on and someone’s like, swinging an arm? Yeah. That’s how I feel like Twitter is every single time I go on there. It’s just too much. Like, I’m already stressed in my everyday life and I’m not going to add to it. Yeah, well, I don’t know because I do Twitter. My issue with Twitter is not necessarily the same as yours. My issue with Twitter is that I feel like there’s always something going on on Twitter. And I don’t actually really consume Twitter much. I just show up and do a tweet about how I’m, like, farting in the Walgreens and then people think I’m, like, sub tweeting a situation. And I’m like, I actually have not read Twitter at all. I just genuinely am farting in Walgreens. And that’s my issue with Twitter is that people think that I know everything going on, and I can assure you that I have no idea what you’re talking about, which maybe I need to be better about that before Tweeting. That’s my mistake. But I never know what’s going on. And I’m just like, this thing happened, and people are like, Oh, my God, she’s talking about this person. I’m like, No, I’m not. I promise you I am not. I am not that smart. You’re very smart. You’re so smart, you’re just remove yourself from Twitter after posting, which is fine. Yeah, I do. I don’t know. I think more people should do that. I know. I try. I really do care what other people think, but I do care what other people think. Like, I wish people were more compassionate and nicer to fellow people. It’s disheartening to me. It’s like, well, this world is fucking garbage, which we all know it is, but it just makes it even worse. I don’t know. I don’t know. She’s not billed for it, guys. I’m not billed for it. Let’s make fun of Maria when she’s not around. Now that I know you’re not on Twitter, I’m literally going to go on Twitter right now, and I’m going to tweet and I’m going to say that you smelly farts. I’m tweeting it right now. What I should do is I should tweet, delete that. Like, tweet delete that. Yeah, I’ve tweeted it. I said that you smelly farts. So everyone listening to this. You can go back and look, and you can see exactly what day we recorded
Participant #1:
if you’ve just joined us. Every single week, we talk about shops, creators, instagrams, forgetting anything, anything that we like, but we think it’s pretty cool that maybe you would like to that being said, Maria, who are you into this week? Okay, so I’m actually going to say a book. So I read A Spell in the Wild by Alice Tarbuck. It is so good. I thought that was, like, a fiction. No, it’s not. It’s about her experience with witchcraft. Like, it’s more of a biography than a health thing, even though it has history and all that in it. It’s basically a full year in her life as a witch. But that’s really interesting. Yeah, just the book, the way that she writes is so enchanting, and that really makes you she’s very good at describing things, and it feels, like, very magical, and it makes you want to practice. She is a very like, I go out into nature, which and it makes you want to go out into nature more. And also, she acknowledges stuff that a lot of witches don’t. She acknowledges that she is able bodied. She acknowledges that she comes from places of privilege, and that was very refreshing to read.
Participant #1:
It’s just one of those books where you’re like, you’re reading history and you’re reading about this person’s experience, and you feel like, very wrapped in. It’s not like a snooze fest or like you’re being forced to read a biography about someone that’s stale. But no, I devoured it. It was a very good book, and I feel like it’s good for any witch that’s having issues in their practice where they’re feeling like they’re not in such a good place magically and they just need a little bit of inspiration to get back on track to feel like they’re going back to their magical self. I highly recommend that book. Now that I know it’s a nonfiction, I’m definitely going to check that out. I literally thought that that was a fiction. When you shared it, I was like, oh, well, it’s a nice little fiction book. But now I know and I’ll read it. That sounds great. Yeah, it’s really good. It is written from an English like in England? Like in the UK. No, in the UK. She’s not from England, I don’t think. But I don’t know, it’s just really refreshing, and I honestly would reread it, like, easily. I would reread it now. Yeah. So you loving I just found this account. Somebody sent it to me, and whoever that was, if you’re listening, I’m really sorry. I don’t remember who it was. Somebody sent it to me. Binks Olson. Okay. But they did a deck called the Forest NB Tarot. Okay. I am obsessed. I love the artwork. It’s so fucking cute. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I don’t know. I just think it’s so original and so cute, and I really want it. It looks like it’s kind of like animal crossing sort of thing. Yeah, it’s kind of like animal crossing fan art style. It’s not animal crossing fan art, just to be clear, but it is very stylized in that sort of way. I really love it. I want it super bad. My birthday is July 5 if you want to buy it for me. I’m just saying because I am doing a no tarot deck purchasing this year. So if somebody wanted to purchase it for me
Participant #1:
yeah, I really want this deck. I think it is so freaking cute. You’re like, I’m not buying tarot decks this year. I’m on my fifth deck going to be there is one tarot deck that I am buying on the 9th of this month because I’ve been trying to get my hands on it for two years. What is it? And they’re doing a final press like purchase, and it’s first come, first serve. And I literally have an alarm on my phone to try to get it. What is it? I talked about it once on here. I’m not going to say it now. I’m not going to say it because what if somebody listens to this and then they buy it and then I now can’t have it? I’ll talk about on the next episode if I get it, guys. But I know that’s maybe really paranoid, but I don’t care do you deal with it? Yeah, I want to get it. I’ll send it to you privately out of here, then I’ll buy it. I already have enough. I’ve spent enough money. Like, I’m fine. Right? Not another black and gold deck. Yeah. The ones I’ve been getting lately have not been like that one you got that you talked about last episode. The photography one is so beautiful. The drowning world. They’re so pretty. The cars are so big. I have a very awkward way of shuffling them. It works. It works. But they’re so pretty and they’re like, an absolute joy to use. I think it’s my favorite deck to use right now. I love it.
