Participant #1:
Welcome to episode 18. If you just joined, I’m Maria at Mariathercane on Instagram, and this is Robin at Witch on Instagram. Today we have a special guest, this Raven at magic memes on Instagram. She posts all those funny and amazing memes that we’re all sharing and loving. Say hi. Say hi. I hope you guys are loving. I’m not letting it critique you harshly on your meanage. I need to hear it.
Participant #1:
So, Raven, why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself? How did you start practicing? Oh, God. Well, I feel like I’m just the same as ever. And where it was, like, all throughout my childhood, I’d be into witchcraft and shows about witchcraft, movies about it. I’d be in my backyard doing the whole mud spells, like, oh, it’s a potion. And then just kind of went from there. Once I became, like, a teenager and realized it was, like, something I can actually do, I was like, anyway I could. I was, like, getting involved in it. That’s great. That’s what I did. Yeah. What made you want to start magic memes? Oh, God. I always listen to memes because, I don’t know, I just, like, humor is, like, my go to for anything.
Participant #1:
I don’t know if you’ve heard of them, but you ever heard of them. It’s definitely a cancer thing, right? You guys like to cover up sadness and stuff. First of all, Maria, that’s how we process our emotions through Joe. Yeah,
Participant #1:
it helps work through a lot, and I feel like serious lighting up.
Participant #1:
Sorry.
Participant #1:
But you also do tarot readings for clients and stuff like that. How did you get involved in that? Well, I took inspiration from you beautiful ladies. Thank you. I found it like, I don’t know, relaxing and fun to do tarot, and I always did it for my friends and random people. Just I was trying to get out there and more involved with tarot, and I figured, why not do that? I had enough experience in it, and I just thought I’d offer my services. And it’s been honestly so fun connecting with people in that kind of way. I don’t know, I just think it’s cool, like, the way people will share with you that kind of intimate, like, question that they have, and then you get to connect with them about it. Yeah. Anyway, they can’t involve tarot throughout the day. Let’s just do it. Let me read for you, for your friend. I got you. You better be careful for what you fucking wish for, because somebody’s been knocking up on your DMs going. I heard you want to do tarot readings. I would love to be a free subject for you.
Participant #1:
I’ll take it back.
Participant #1:
Oh, lordy. So, Raven, tell us just whatever you want to tell us about yourself. Talk about yourself. How cute you are, your beautiful red hair. Oh, God. Well, I mean, I’m here. I do exist. I’m just New England living trying to exist. It’s hard here. I’ve never been to New England. I know what come then. I feel like the witchy New England community is kind of quiet. I don’t know. I see it more on social media now, but that’s why I joined it originally too. Being able to connect with people is awesome. But sometimes in New England, at least Connecticut, where I’m from specifically, it’s so quiet here. There’s literally like only a few with shops here. You live close to Salem, right? Yes, a couple of hours away. So jealous. It’s actually shut down right now. They’re getting so mad over there, the people that live close to it because people are still going and I just feel so bad. Yeah, I see people are still there. That’s no surprise. That’s literally no surprise. I get wanting to go. My husband and I go every year for our anniversary, but we skipped it this year because it’s just not worth it. But people are saying like, oh, well, the shops are still open so that’s like inviting people to go. But the shops are so open because the locals are still witches too. Right? I know. We’ve all seen the crazy crowded pictures from Halloween and stuff there so I can get their apprehension being like, hey, yes please.
Participant #1:
That is sad.
Participant #1:
Next year
Participant #1:
if you’ve just joined us this week, every single week I talk about the upcoming lunar phase. And I know we talked about this a little bit at the beginning of the month because I was playing a little game of let’s pretend there’s not a full moon happening because we were overlapped. But it is the Taurus full moon on October 31. Also Sauen, also Halloween and also blue moon. So if you don’t feel like this moon was made specifically for you, you’re fucking kidding yourself. Yeah, jokes,
Participant #1:
jokes. You can’t see it, but I’m doing finger guns.
Participant #1:
General is a full moon that relies heavily on our need for stability. And with Mercury being in retrograde and Mars being in retrograde and just the state of the world, that’s not easy to satisfy at present. This is going to be a full moon where you’re going to if we’re looking at the energies associated with it, we’re looking at kind of trying to accept situations in our life chaotic or positive, just the way they are. And you don’t need to fix it. Sometimes things are just the way that they are and that’s okay. Even if it’s hard, it’s okay. Now, that being said, in terms of magic, this particular full moon is very good for manifesting money specifically. Like if you are trying to work on your savings account or doing anything, that basically builds up your financial security. So this would be a good time to avoid making impulse purchases or doing the thing that I do, which is when you’re sad and you try to buy your happiness with a new pair of shoes or something. Perhaps this is not the time to do that. And instead focusing on making magic that is about drawing money in as opposed to spending it on dumb shit you don’t need. I’m specifically talking to myself at this time.
Participant #1:
Call on everybody. I’m looking at all of you. I know we’re all sad right now. You don’t need those third pair of Dock Martins. It takes you ten months to break them in. You don’t need another pair. You don’t need it. You want it, but you don’t need it. And that’s okay. Yeah. So we’re looking at a very stable moon, given the nature of the world. So it’s stable, but we have to be okay with that. And that being said, if you didn’t listen to the 16th episode when we talked about the blue moon, the blue moon is the time where we do magic that’s going to kick an extra punch. So anything that in your life that needs that extra, this would be the time to do it. I think draw, like, spellwork for stability would be very good. Just because of how crazy, as you said, how crazy things are right now. I don’t know how everyone else is doing, but I literally sometimes feel like I’m spinning out of control by one thread. It’s single thread. He shows me the thread all the time. It’s very sad. Yes, I do. Like, look at it, Robin. I’m drinking my damn mine. You guys are celebrating. Salin, give your offering candles a little kiss on the lips and use that little extra punch for something that matters. Yeah. Harvest that last abundance. Yeah. Oh, see, Maria said it to me before we start recording. And I went, I was going to say that, and then I did it. Oh, my God. And this is a good moon for prosperity. And so the two go hand in hand, find the metaphor in that and make it work.
Participant #1:
So if you just started listening to us, every podcast, we talk about a random tarot card. We go over the universal meaning and then our own interpretations of the cards. Hearing others opinions helps beginners form their own opinions, or even those who have been practicing for a while, expand their views on other meetings. So this week we’re talking about the Five of Cups. And on the right of Way Smith version of this, you’ll see someone decked out all in black. Behind them is a stream bridge in a house. They are mourning tipped over cups in front of them, while full upright cups are behind them. The universal meaning of this card is dealing with tough emotions when faced with disappointment and regret. But the situation is a total loss and some good will come out of it. My personal interpretation is that this is definitely a shadowwork card. It usually comes up in readings for myself and clients when we have suffered a loss of some sort or facing some tough emotions. I feel that facing these emotions head on is so important and that’s what the card is saying. Do more than what happened and go through the motions first before urging yourself to move on, because shoving these big feelings down will just leave them to fester and rot. This is definitely also an Ebb card. My personal opinion is that EBS are undervalued. Well, yes, we should remain self compassionate and self loving, taking care of ourselves and seeking help when we need it and actively working our way through them. But at the end of the day, they have a lot to teach us. There are points in our life when we cultivate new ideas and, like, new growth. Even though it may not feel like it at the time, when we’re going through that, when we make our way to the ends of them, we realize we’ve gained actually so much knowledge from them. So when we are ready to move on after going through these motions, we realize we actually gained, like, these two cups that are actually behind us and a bridge start flowing once again. So, Robin dear, how do you view this card? This is the Papa Roach of Tarot cards. Cut my life into pieces. This is my last resort. This is the most emo card in the entire deck. You cannot change my mind. And I mean that in a very literal sense. Think about being an emo when you’re in high school, right? Everything was the worst thing that could have ever happened to anyone, ever. Like, you would have a minor inconvenience and it’d be like, nobody understands me. And I feel like we were all that emo. You can’t change my mind. Cancer cells. Yeah. You can literally show me, like, documented evidence that emails weren’t like that and I’d be like, incorrect. But that’s very much how I feel about this car, is that you’re so focused on the bad thing that’s happening and you’re so overwhelmed by that, that it feels like it’s the worst possible thing that’s ever happened to anybody, and it quite frankly, probably isn’t, and it’s probably not even worse than it ever happened to you. And that’s not that it’s not a valid situation for you to feel these feelings. Like, you’re allowed to feel your feelings, but feel them and also acknowledge that what’s the word I’m looking for here? That this will pass and it’s not the worst thing that happened in the whole wide world. And that’s okay. You can feel things and also recognize that it’ll get better and there’ll be other bad days and you know what I mean? Like, life happens. It’s so funny. You’re upright version of it is actually my reversed. So great. I think it’s the most emo card on the planet. Whenever I see it in my brain, I’m just, like, cut my life into pieces. You write that for clients? I never have, but I feel like maybe I should. And then we’ll find out who the real ones are because they’ll be like, I heard that episode. So how about you, Raven Deer? How do you view this card? I feel like I kind of go along with Robin where it’s a card that means you have to go through it to get past it. It seems rough when you’re going through it, but then looking back, it was crucial. And honestly, I feel like this card is so important to this year. This year has been so rough, but I feel like once it’s over, there’s like a lot we had to go through to get through it. You can’t just expect stuff, like finding out about stuff or witnessing anything or just like, finding out you’re in certain situations. That’s not the end of it. You have to work through it and then you’re going to be able to be over it. I kind of agree with the problem. It is a sad card, but it could mean, like, good things if you just get through it. Right? Yeah, no, I definitely agree. It’s very similar. It’s like a nice amalgamation of what I said and what Maria said. And now we kiss.
Participant #1:
So as this is our salon special, it sounds like something on a diner menu. As this is our salon special, we obviously are going to talk about sellin, but we also decided this week that we’re going to skip over talking about what’s stirring and not stirring our cold run and instead talk about ghost stories. It’s quite close to the election and everybody is a little bit sour pants. So instead of talking about things that are irritating us right now, we’re just going to share ghost stories and kind of change the narrative. We thought it would be more fun.
Participant #1:
Try turn over bullshit next week. But this week we’re going to tell ghost stories and I don’t know, make a little bit lighter. Yeah, I like it. Starting off, how do you celebrate salon? Sorry, can I go first? Yes, you can. Okay. So the actual 31st, we actually just spent it together as a family doing like, Halloween type activities. This year it’s going to be very different because we’re not going to get involved with trick or treating or anything like that. We’re just going to camp in our backyard and set up a projector and watch Hocus Pocus and eat a bunch of finger foods and candy until we grow up. So fucking good. Can I come? Yeah, you’re invited. They’re all invited. Just kidding. Please don’t show up to my house. Robin’s fine, though. And Raven,
Participant #1:
I don’t want hundreds of people showing up to the door and be like, hey, I got an invitation. You guys are invited. Friends are always invited. Not so much. Do you know what I meant? I did. So, but we move on to November 1, and we usually have like a dead dinner or silent dinner where we set out places for people we have lost along the way and with a picture of them or something that we own that was once theirs. And while we don’t do the whole silent part that a lot of people do, where you don’t talk through the whole dinner, we do talk about the memories that we shared with these people, and we also have, like, a candle lit for each of them at their places. Nice. Yeah. And then we do, like, witchy stuff together as a family all day, like retail, maybe even do a family spell together. I haven’t really picked what we’re going to do this year, but something I almost said something sexy in my brain, and then I was like, there’s a child, Robin. Get it together.
Participant #1:
All right. I never have.
Participant #1:
Yeah. Anyway. Well, for me in our house, our selling is very different than the kind of European ideation of selling, because we have DEA de los Martos immediately following. So I actually don’t do the whole silent dinner thing at all. I do do a meal, and we make it a frienda and all that, and I do a meal, but we spend the whole time talking and playing music, and it’s fun, and we drink and we talk about the people that we’ve lost and share fun stories and stuff like that. I love that. I mean, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing the silent dinner, obviously. I think it is a cultural thing, though. And my family, that’s not how we do that. 100%. Yeah. It’s a celebration of those that are no longer with us, and we make their favorite food, and we talk about funny stories or just, like, good stories of those people. I personally am not afraid of being dead. Obviously, I don’t want to die. I’m not trying to suggest that. But being, like, the idea of dying is not scary to me, and I personally don’t want anybody to feel they have to mourn me in some sad Victorian way. You know what I mean? It’s such a like, I don’t know. That’s so Victorian. Like, no, celebrate me stories. Tell embarrassing stories. You want what? I want the waterworks when I die. I want the dramatics screaming over it, throwing themselves on top of the cough, hunching to the ground. This can’t be true. Lady standing all the way in the back of the funeral in her dark outfit with an umbrella, and everyone’s like, who is she? Who is she? I’m vain. I love it. So how are you celebrating raven deer? Wow. It’s just me, basically, because I live with my husband Liam, but he is not a witch, but he basically goes along with whatever I do. Like, he’ll just be down for whatever we love. Supportive husband. Yes, we do. Like, I celebrate both Halloween and salin, so I think I’m going to do something to contribute to both this year. I did lose some people close to me. So I’m going to do something special for them. Going to do some baking horror movies, like always, because that’s a go to. I don’t know. I think I’m just going to do a simple night this year because it’s just been a very long, rough year. And it was very calm, peaceful evening. But I’m excited nonetheless. I don’t even know what I’m going to bake it. I was going to try something new, but got to think of a new recipe. That sounds good. That sounds really good, honestly. Yeah. You can give me food and then send me photos and be like, look, it’s like you’re dead. And then I’ll eat it on the astral plane. That all sounds very romantic for me. Let’s do that over to Raven.
Participant #1:
Hello. I’m just imagining, like, Robin’s husband and my wife walking into us on the Astro plane while we’re just laying there, we’re making yummy noises, and they’re like, going on, making yummy noises. I’d be like this. Where’s the bread
Participant #1:
in my mouth. I’m going to look into it. There’s a way I can send you guys bread through, like overnight or something. I’m going to do it. Yeah, I would 100% do that. Carbs. I have to say it, though, I can’t have wheat or dairy, so this might be difficult. Ruining the day unreal. I know, I hate it.
Participant #1:
I’ll work with that.
Participant #1:
Talked about this actually on another podcast. So if you do listen to spiritual shit, you will have already heard this. But you know what? As I was telling the story, I was like, I’ve never talked about this before. The only person who knew about it was my best friend. And I was like, we’re going to talk about this. So a long, long time ago, the year was 18, five. And I used to live in this little tiny town called Grayton in California. And if you know where Bodega Bay is, like the movie Birds, where that was filmed, it’s kind of in that direction. And it’s a little, like, tiny town. It’s barely a town. It’s like a collection of ten houses. And I used to live in this little tiny town and have to take this road, this occidental or I think it was accidental road. It doesn’t matter. None of you know where this is, so it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I used to have to take this road that was really long, had no street lights, anything like that. And it always gets super foggy at nighttime to get there. And I used to work in a mental health facility, so I had really odd hours. And it was like three or four in the morning. And I’m driving home, it’s super foggy, and I just start seeing ghosts, literally in front of my car on the side of the road. And I’m thinking, I’m having a psychotic episode. I worked in a mental health facility. I knew what this would look like. You know what I mean? Like, you see first hand people that are going through their first ever psychotic episode, and that’s what I thought was happening to me. I was also very sleep deprived, so I also take into account that maybe it was just sleep deprivation, I don’t know, but I was freaking out and there was probably like a dozen to 18 ghosts that I saw on the drive home, and they were just like, popping up on the side of the road and they were all like, accident ghosts bleeding from the face and like, really traumatic. And so here I am. I’m like, deprivation, though. The adrenaline would have woke you up from it because stress at that point, right? I’m sold already. I was bawling my eyes out. I’m like, crying so hard and it was so traumatic and it just kept happening and I made it home and I’m like sobbing. And I live with my best friend and his mom, and my best friend is like, what the fuck happened? And so I tell him and he was just like, what the hell? And I refused to drive that road alone ever again. I wouldn’t drive it. Like, somebody else had to drive it for me. And there was three ways to get to my apartment, so I didn’t have to take that road and I never did again. And the next day, because I did have the privilege of working in a mental health facility, I went and talked to the psychologist for free, and I was just like, this is what happened. And he did some tests and stuff like that for me. And I was seeing him for like two months and he was just like, no, you’re totally fine. At least on that front. There’s nothing quote wrong with you. Quote and yeah, it traumatized me for years. Isn’t that crazy? That sounds like it was terrifying. I thought all about it, too. I completely forgot all about it. And then I was on the Spiritual Ship podcast and Dylan asked me, what’s the scariest thing that ever happened to you? And it all came back to me like a flood. And I was just like, I repressed this. Well, I could see why. Yeah. So who wants to go next? I’ll go next. Okay. As I said, I’m trying to save all my ghost stories first, dropping them here and there, but I’m going to share like three little ones, if that’s okay. Yeah. Okay. So the first one is actually a feel good one. It’s really sweet and it makes my heartwarm whenever when I think about it. Growing up, me and my family owned two elderly shihtzu. Like, we adopted them because they were literally when we adopted them, they were like eleven years old, but they stayed with us until they were like 1617. And I was like super close to them. They would come and lay on my bed. They were always in my room. Obviously, I was their favorite. But eventually old age did hit them and sheba went first the year before Fritz did. But maybe a month or so after Fritz passed away, I woke up one night and I saw two white orbs at the end of my bed. And I did the whole blinking thing and like, okay, now wake up. But I saw them jump off my bed and go up the stairs because I was in the basement and I wasn’t freaked out or anything. Usually during ghostly stuff happens. I freak out and I get like my adrenaline gets pumping as Raven talked about. But I knew right away that it was Fritz and Shiva and that they came and visited me one last time. It was just such a sweet moment. You’re going to make me cry. It was just so sweet. And I missed them so much. But I feel like that was them telling me, hey, we’re okay. We still love you. We’re still here for you. That’s so sweet. Yes, I know. I have a story like that. Actually. You can continue, though. Unless you want me to refund. Actually, I want to share my wife’s story, actually. Oh, yeah. This is when she was younger, and I think she said this is the only ghost she’s ever seen in her entire life. Her and her friends were playing in the woods, and I guess behind the woods there is like, a field. And they’re like, playing and exploring, and they make their way to the field and they just see a lady in the middle of the field, in the middle of nowhere in a total white outfit of, like, a white lady just standing there, just staring off. And my wife and her friends just apparently looked at her, stared for a couple of seconds and booked it because there’s no way, like, someone that would be there in the middle of nowhere in a dress just standing in the middle of the field. Fuck that. Fuck that. Gone. Terrifying. Only ghost story. And it’s like terrifying. I know. And here’s me. Like, I’m literally waking up to people screaming at me on the other side of the bed, like, oh my God, I’m miserable. And she’s actually looking at me or laughing right now. But anyways, and then I wanted to talk about some things that always happened to me during this time of year. Like, there’s always a mist in my kitchen, which I’m not sure if I’ve talked about you. I don’t think you’ve talked about yeah, it’s like a mist that just stays in my kitchen. I like to think that it’s like my grandmother who comes and visits me every year and probably like, hey, this kitchen is a mess. You need to do something about this. I come from a family of cleaners, so my sense of clean is way different than theirs. I just imagine her mist form just being like, oh, come on. But as soon as the closer that we approach, like that one and stuff like that, things start amping up a little bit. Last night, my arm kept getting pulled and people are touching my arm trying to wake me up. And it’s just I don’t know. There’s no way that I’m imagining it. And I’m not like half awake or anything because last night I did have trouble sleeping. So I was just like, wide awake and feeling this happened. And I was just like, okay, please just leave me alone for a little bit. I want to sleep. It’s always at night when I’m trying to sleep. And we know how much I hate that. That’s what’s been going on. I just thought so when you’re talking about your dogs and the orbs, right? Remember when we had to put my dog down a year ago? The boxer? So we buried the boxer in the yard, right? Ruby made she rest in peace. Truly the sweetest dog in the whole world. I saw her in the yard for like a week, just like being in the yard, like being herself, wandering around for a week. And it made me sad because it made me feel like it wasn’t like your story where you’re talking about how they were saying goodbye. It was like she didn’t realize. Do you know what I mean? It was so sad. I was crying about it all week. My husband’s like, you’re fucking crazy. And I was like, Perhaps.
Participant #1:
I know. Just want to go hug her. That’s horrible. I know. Raven, what are your fun stories? Stories? I feel like genuine ghost stories. I only have a couple because there’s been a million times in my life where I’m like, that’s definitely a ghost. Could not be anything but a ghost. Like, I’m sold 100% sure that’s a ghost. But then I look back and I’m like, yeah, I probably wasn’t. So I never want to, I don’t know, emphasize a story that didn’t happen. So I try and focus on the craziest ones. That couldn’t be anything else. Yeah. So I feel like there was one time where when I still lived with my parents, they were rearranging because my mom always rearranges her whole house every week. And she was switching around the dining room and living room and she was plugging in her DVD player. And it’s like a nine slot one for some reason, and it has radio. It’s like the whole deal. For some reason, it’s like this old ass one. But she plugs it in and it’s got this wire antenna and it was like, off to the side. It was unplugged. She had just plugged it in and it turns on and starts saying it’s playing a CD. Yeah, but it’s playing this one specific song and there’s no disk in the whole entire thing. So we were, like, making radio. But I guess the radio part was disabled. So there was like no way for it to be on the radio and the song. We had just gotten done talking about my dad’s father, who unfortunately passed away when he was a baby because we were finding out more information about him and we had just gotten on speaking about him. Remember what song it was? I remember it was by Pearl Jam. But it was a song. I think it was Alive because he was talking about a father and son saying, I’m still alive. And it was just so fucking eerie. We’re just like, we should definitely move. In a way, it was kind of comforting, honestly. That was my first reaction with that. I was like it just almost seemed like it was like his dad just being like, hey, I hear you. It was just sad. But my dad just wasn’t even ghost or anything. And he still recognizes that situation as being inexplainable because it was saying it was playing a CD, but there was like, nothing in the device, and there was no way it could have been on the radio. So there’s just no way to describe, like, how it was happening. That’s crazy. It’s really so crazy. No, it did the machine itself shut off entirely after the song stopped. It finished the song and shut off. And it’s my whole family, like my brother’s, sister, mom and dad, we’re all just sitting there in the room. We all just learned shocks. We let the whole song play because we just like, what do we do? How did that happen? We’re trying to figure out how it happened. Like, they’re looking at the top of it like, Is it the radio? No. And it just shuts off. That’s weird that you got a message of NP player to the alley and beat it up.
Participant #1:
Every time I listen to the song now, I’m just like, Oh my God, that was terrifying. Yeah. Oh my God, that’s crazy. I love that. I love that for you. The house I just lived into, and that was the same house that most of my ghost stories happened in. That’s crazy. Maybe your house is haunted. I really think it is. I’m not in it now. I left my family in it. I also brought a Ouija board to it, so that was on me. My mom was like, that was after that, actually. There was nothing in the house that even should have sparked that. That was such a wild day. But obviously after that, I was stupid and started using one here and there. Not even in the house because my mom was so strict about it. But I love the storage. I just do. It freaks everyone out. Listen, I’m going to just say this, and I know it’s a super unpopular opinion, but I’m going to say it, and then everybody who’s listening will be like, raw Ben. But here’s the facts, okay? At least in my opinion. This is my opinion. It’s not facts, but you can communicate with the dead with basically anything. A Ouija board is no more powerful than automatic writing, which you do with a pen and paper. Yeah. It literally says hasbro on it, like, right on the box, which works with these kinds of tools. Yes. Ouija boards are incredibly useful tools. I’m not trying to be like, it’s a toy, it won’t work. I’m not saying that. I’m saying it is what you make it. And that’s my opinion of it because it’s a fucking hazard on the box. I know. It boggles my mind when people are like, don’t bring a Ouija board into the house. No, it doesn’t say houser. I think it’s Mattel. Either way, it’s a fucking kid’s house. I literally verbatim to Liam yesterday because we had it out. Like, we have it in our new house, obviously, because we’re idiots. But like you said, it is what you make it. Some people are so scared of it, but I’m like, you have to like obviously I don’t want to disrespect it or the rules, but the end of the day, it was made by a game company. I bought it from Toys R US. Right. I have Tarot cards as well, and those can connect to different spirits, too. So it’s just like I don’t know. Yeah. I don’t try and provoke anything. At the same time, I feel like using it isn’t going to ruin your whole life, no matter what.
Participant #1:
Right. I actually bought a Ouija board and now I have a crack addiction. It’s very sad. You blame the Ouija board? I’m just kidding. Very bad. Everyone, please don’t do drugs just because you heard this on here. Drugs are not a joke. Very serious. Well, does anybody else have any parting stories we can share with the crew? No. I’m going to save the rest of the month for our next I honestly have so many, so I can do that. I’m trying to be careful. A lot of small stuff happens to me. Exactly. It’s super small. And it’s like, not enough to put in one giant story. Right. Exactly. Like my wife’s story. They were in the forest. They came upon a white lady. They were like, fuck that, and then ran away. I mean, yeah, fuck that. They didn’t go through out of those situations. We don’t stay in, like, movies where they’re like, let’s further investigate this. Let’s go deeper into this terrifying situation in the middle of this wood, wearing all white, holding a bloody hatchet. You guys want to throw rock? Why she’s here? Yeah, let’s throw rocks, get our Ouija board and summon her. You can possibly go wrong. But that’s why we don’t have as many stories.

Participant #1:

So if you just joined us every week, we talk about creators that we are loving right now. These are people that we found organically on our own. That being said, again, I have to ask this. Please do not DMs asking to be on the podcast. It’s not going to happen. When you do that, you’re going to find yourself on the other side of a blog button. It’s very rude. Please don’t do that. It makes me angry and sad. You’re giving me depression. Please don’t do that. That being said, Maria, who’s the creator you’re loving so much this week? So I got a new book, it’s Not Magic by Sarah Bartlett. And it’s like this cute little book that has like a bunch of not spells. I haven’t done like, not spells in like a long time. I used to do them all the time when I was a teenager. But it’s just a cute little book that comes with illustrations and stuff like that and tells you different knots and how to use them magically. And as I said, it’s illustrated so you know exactly what you’re doing and how to do it correctly. I want to get it. And she even says when to cast a spell and yeah, I love that. Yeah. Highly recommend. There’s some things, of course, in here that I do not agree with, but that’s mostly I think it’s wicked based. You can say that about any book, though. There’s always going to be parts that are going to be a leave. Yes. But the information is really good. And I am glad that because there’s not many books out there that’s just about specific types of magic, especially like not magic, it’ll be in a book, but it won’t come with illustrations and stuff like that. On how to do the spell, which I find very helpful. Yeah, you know Raven, who are you loving this week? The beautiful Cupid witch on Instagram. She is beautiful. She is basically the love witch. IRL, just not as crazy. True crazy. It’s a very entertaining way. She can provide any basically all love spells. I’ve sent people that ask for love spells to her because it’s just not the most comfortable for me personally. Like, it’s the spell I work with the least and I know she specializes in it. Like I said, she’s the love, which IRL I have gotten a reading from her, though. She is so in depth and her prices are honestly fair for the amount of work she puts in and the amount of years she’s been doing it. So if you have a chance, check her out. Her theme on Instagram is also so cute, like literally her whole setting. It’s vintage Valentine’s, which is like my whole thing. I love them. I love seeing it. They made me so happy every time I see them, they do consistent with it. I really recommend it. She’s amazing. And her content is yeah, I’ve actually gotten a reading from her before too, and I really enjoy having I feel very left out. My phone had to pick that. Her cards are cute too. Like, she’s the sweetest little deck. Oh, my God, I love her precious stuff. How about you, Robin dear, who’s you beloved? Well, by now I think that we’ve all learned that I like pottery a lot. And not me. No. Wrong bitch. So this week I’m loving another pottery account, which I know is so surprising to all of our listeners who are like, Jesus Christ, Robin clay dust studio
Participant #1:
specifically. Okay, the whole reason I started following them was they do this little tray that I already like. I mean, I haven’t bought it, but I’m picturing in my brain all the things I would do with it, right? I’ve already picked all the things I want to do, and it’s like the moon and stars and clouds, and it’s like this beautiful sunset thing happening, and it’s so pretty. And they do like a cat on a moon mug, and they do alchemy bottles, and they do pots that are, like meant to be, like cauldrons, like hand thrown cauldrons, and it’s got the moon phases on it. It’s so cool. So, so cool. I love them so much. I want one. I want all their stuff. I have a problem. Hello? Yeah, I’ve been following them for a while too. I love their stuff. Potter takes so much effort. It really does. I have so much respect for pottery artists. I really do. Which is probably why my dick is so hard for all pottery work ever. But yeah, I really love their stuff. And I think everyone should go buy stuff from them and then send me photos of it so I can go. I want that too. Better? Yeah, just send us awesome. Yeah, everybody just buy me some and send it to me. And I’ll be like I’ll say to my husband, I’ll be like, well, I didn’t buy it. It’s a gift. I can’t exactly return it.
