Participant #1:
So welcome to episode 14, season two. Don’t make me laugh. Sorry. Very serious. Okay, back home, if you just joined, this is Maria At. Maria there, Akane on Instagram, and I’m joined by Robin At, a tired witch on Instagram. Why is this both so formal and so sexy all at once? The sexiest, most formal introvert. Hello, listeners.
Participant #1:
If you have just joined us this week, every single week, we talk about upcoming lunar phases. Also, if this is your first week listening to us, congratulations. You found the greatest podcast on Earth. So lucky. This is a casual reminder. This is not talking about the zodiac signs in the lunar phases based off of your own zodiac sign. Please go to an astrologer for that. This is basically what phase the moon is in and how we can utilize that magically. So there’s three things, two things technically, but I guess you could break it into three things that are going on with this moon. First of all, it is a blue moon. If you don’t know what a blue moon is, that means that it is the second full month in a full month full moon in a calendar month. They’re very rare. They usually only happen once a year, once every 18 months, something like that. And so we basically get a little extra with the blue moon. I specifically saved the blue moons for magic, where I need like, really serious extra power, extra luck, because they are a lucky moon and rare. So because of that, I would personally use this full moon for extra potency. Similarly, this full moon is on a cusp of both PISCES and Aquarius. So if you don’t know how full moons work, they cover three days. It is the maiden mother and the crone. So starting off it’s in PISCES, right? Aquarius first, then PISCES on the maiden moon. So on the 21st, it’s going to be an Aquarius and then moving to PISCES on the 22nd. So we’re using the Aquarius full moon. You are going to be looking at energies of indifference, insensitivity, detachment, distance. This would be a really good time, in my opinion, to do things like a cord cutting spell. If you have somebody that is in your life that you don’t want to be there anymore, this would be a really great time to use it. I personally don’t like working with the Aquarius full moon too often because it does have that sort of indifference, in sensitivity, a lack of empathy. And for me, that’s a little bit I’m a cancer. It’s a little too much detachment for my liking. So I personally don’t like use it for that. But if you are going to use it, I personally would recommend spells that are removing you from unwanted energies or people like using a cord cutting spell. No, go ahead for Aquarius. Aquarius is a weird sign. Okay, great. Weird sign. I would recommend doing a dance ritual under the full moon getting super weird and funky and just like basically powering yourself up with the moon. Yeah, I like that. That’s a good way to utilize that. That’s fun.
Participant #1:
Thanks. I mean, I’m not going to do that because when I dance, I embarrass everyone within a ten mile radius of me. Know what? Their energy just feels it. But I do love that. I love that idea that feels very like covenesque as well. Make a bonfire, dance around it. Be that guy fuck you get naked guys go crazy out from the full moon. Everyone but only the full moon. And Aquarius, don’t even think about it for the full moon. And PISCES,
Participant #1:
when the moon switches to PISCES, the energy that you would want to work with for this full moon is going to be really heavily on dream, interpretation, intuition, and just generally tapping into that like divine feminine, I guess you can say. No, PISCES are not necessarily divine feminine. But when we think about that sort of energy, we are looking at things like intuition, dreamwork divination, these sort of things, listening to our guide. So do spell work that is potentially doing lucid dreaming. Please do it safely. I’m not recommending anybody consuming any poisons. I know that’s been going around the internet lately, guys. Of course it has. And I can only guess where. It’s actually not TikTok. I know that would be the assumption, but I’ve seen it mostly on Twitter and I’m like, everyone needs to absolutely stop. And the people that are saying oh my God. So the people that are saying to take the flying ointment and shit like that are the same people. Like, the vaccine is bad, you don’t know what’s in it. And it’s like you’re literally ingesting poison. You are literally ingesting a known poison and then you’re like, but don’t take the vaccine. Like, please have a fucking word with yourself.
Participant #1:
Yeah, I was like crying with water during this during the process. You guys are in our spellcaster tiers. So the people who get the boxes every month, last month we sent you guys scratch balls. So that would be a very good time to utilize that. Yeah, practice your scrying. You can do things like guided meditations for things like your guides, et cetera, meeting, talking to them. As we talked about before, that is a process and a journey, so please be realistic. But those are the sort of things that I would look at for this full moon. Crack out your tarot cards, gang. Well, if you insist. Twist my arm. I guess I’ll have to get my one deck and try to make it work.
Participant #1:
So if you just started listening to us, every podcast we talk about a tarot card. We go over the universal meaning and then our own interpretations of them. Hearing other people’s opinions helps beginners form their own opinions. And those who have been practicing for a while expand their views on other meetings. So this week we’re talking about Temperance. On this card you’ll see an angelic figure with a triangle on their chest who has 1ft like in a pond, a body of water, and the other one on land. In their hands they have two cups. Water is being exchanged between them. Lilies are on the right side of the card, and on the left there’s a path leading to mountains with the sun overhead. The universal keywords of this card are balance, harmony and patience. So for me, this card is very similar to the hanged man. Unlike the hanged man, though, who is being forced to pause and see things from a new perspective, temperance is mindfully taking a pause for themselves before they end up in the position of the hangman. Temperance is taking this time to try new things, to improve their lives and to work on achieving balance before they move on further down their path. This card is a huge experimental card for me because of this. It reminds me of choosing a major in college. Before you settle on a job you want to go with. So you’re like trying all these new things and you’re finding out what works best for you and your situation. In situations like that you need patience. Patience is definitely required. You can’t rush anything or else it will affect your life path. When we take mindful pauses like this, not just in situations like the college one, but we develop a clear picture of where we want to eventually head in life. As I said earlier, it is best to do this before you are in too far deep and suddenly you’re strung up like the hangman or you are having a tower like moment. But yeah, just be patient with yourself when deciding things. How do you view this card? I would not be patient with myself and how dare you ask me? Hey, I didn’t say it for us. I’m saying for other people. We’re giving good advice to other people, not necessarily ourselves. Right? I will note that when I looked at our agenda for today, I saw Temperance on there and I immediately went the bitch with the bread book. And then I texted her and she was like, wow, you won’t come and chose violence. I’m joking though, guys. I’m joking. She’s a nice lady with a breadbook. Anyway, Temperance for me it is a massive card of moderation. Typically when I see this card coming up, the balance that kind of you touched on in the book, the card in general references to me. It says that we need to find our better balance. And so in a very literal sense, temperance refers to watering down alcohol. You can see it in the imagery with the card and diluting it that way. You’re not drinking as much booze as you would if you were having a pure glass of wine. That is its imagery or whatever. And so when we take that and we apply to other aspects of life. I see it as needing to know when to step back and set boundaries within ourselves. So if you, let’s say, are starting a new workout routine and you’re doing it every single day and you get Temperance pulled up, this might remind you that it’s just as important to rest as it is to work out and to put in those rest days. Same with things like literally drinking. Or if you broke up with your partner, let’s say, and you and your partner, you’re searching on their social media every fucking day to see what they’re doing, temperance would remind you, hey, this is psychotic. Back off. It’s all about doing things in moderation. And it’s kind of like a check me card, if that makes sense for me. And it just reminds us either to be kind to ourselves well, it is reminding us to be kind to ourselves and put in those rest days, take a break from the toxic behaviors or whatever we’re doing and water it down some because it’s crossing the threshold of unhealthy. I love your thoughts on this card. Thank you. This is smart. Thanks. It’s kind of my massive big brain I just really love.
Participant #1:
So this week, Marie and I are going to talk about something that, to me at least, is incredibly dear to my heart. We talk about it pretty much every year as often as we possibly can. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m not trying to say that Maria and I are very attractive broken records, but listen, I’m sexy. She’s sexy, and we like to talk about things we enjoy. So sort it out, guys. Enjoy it. Enjoy it, please. I’m sorry for being hot. Okay? Jeez.
Participant #1:
This is like no, bitch, you’re not. I didn’t have a word. You know what? It’s not his fault. I do a lot of really just disgusting things at him. A lot that I wouldn’t think I was hot either. Anyway, I’ll show you sick dance moves after we’re done recording. Oh, hell yes. So this week we are talking about spirits. We are getting closer to the time of the year that Maria and I describe as witch season. Not because it’s spooky, but because a lot of people come into their witchiness during this time of the year. Probably because it is spooky. Also, a lot of new witchcraft books tend to get released this time of the year, which I think makes it a really natural transition as well. You see, you know, fun new book out on your Barnes Noble, by the way. Pick up Magical Tarot by Robin Valentine. She’s very sexy because we get new witches in this time of the year. And with that, we have the ageroll questions that come up with it that all involves spirits. So first and foremost, Maria, what is the thinning of the veil? So the autumn equinox is right around the corner. And as the days get shorter and the nights get longer, the veil starts to thin. If you haven’t heard about the thinning of the veil before, it is when the plane that spirits dwell on becomes more visible to us on this plane. So you’ll find that many cultures around the world celebrate spirits around this time, such as the main ones you’ve probably heard about, which is Salin and the Day of the Dead. If you are highly sensitive to spirits, you may be visited by more of them in the months ahead. And this is because the longer nights, I really think it’s because we’re settling down more. Because naturally when it’s dark outside, you just kind of want to chill and so you’re more perceptive about what stuff is going on. What do you think? I personally believe that the veilson’s not just in the autumn time, a lot of people associate it with soie. And I personally believe, and this is just my own UPG, you can take this for what you want, take it with a grain of salt. But I personally believe if you see like stores especially, or people that are like massively pushing the thinning of the veil, that tells me they don’t actually really know what the veil is. Yeah, to me it’s a red flag. Because the thing of the veil also happens at times like the witching hour, which is between well, it depends on what faith kind of that you’re basing it off of. Some people say it’s between twelve and one, but the classic classic is the wrong word. But like ancient Christianity, biblical Christianity, that kind of time frame, especially around like the 13th and 12th century puts it between two and 04:00 A.m., 03:00 A.m. Being the peak time. And these are the time for you. Yeah, I was just going to say that you know how we have high noon when the sun reaches its peak? For me, it happens during usually on nights where there’s a high moon, like where it is at night. That’s interesting. The thought process behind the Widget Hour in general is essentially, again, going back to 12th and 13th century. You have to remember people were peasants, right? Not all people, obviously, but that was the overarching thing that was happening. And with that, most people went to church. They would get up and work the fields, et cetera. And during this time period of two and 04:00 A.m. Was the time that most people were in bed asleep. People’s sleep schedules weren’t like they are now. Most people went to sleep for a few hours, got up again, went back to sleep for a few hours. So this is the time period that most people were asleep. And so spirits, they thought, could prance about and, you know, I don’t know, do spooky cool things. And so when you take that thought process into account, the veil being the spirit world, colliding with the earthly realm. It can basically happen every single night, depending on your belief and your relationship with spirits. Yeah, because you do have to have a relationship kind of happening there, unless you live in a very haunted house that is incredibly active. But that’s a whole other thing. That’s a whole other situation happening. Yeah. And a lot of people believe that this like coming up to the end of harvest time, et cetera, which is another type of bail, because people are not out in the field, right. They’re finishing up collecting their harvest, they’re not getting up super early, et cetera. They’re getting to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Becomes a whole new spinning of the veil. Yes, that makes sense. Well, yeah, the slowing down, if we’re rushing everywhere and we don’t have time to settle down, you’re going to miss a lot of stuff that’s happening around you. Yes. Makes total sense. It keeps things calm and cool and collected. And so, utilizing the thinning of the veil would be utilizing magic that deals with spirits directly, communicating with spirits, doing things like divination for your guides, giving thanks to ancestors and spirits, et cetera. That’s why a lot of people have altars during Saoin and Maban Maban. Maybon that focus on our ancestors and giving thanks essentially to the people who came before us that allow us to be here today. Yeah. Also why I think spirits are most likely to be seen at nighttime or periods of where night overpowers the daytime. Also because if you ever have seen a spirit, they are illuminated. Does that make sense? Some of the time. Sometimes they’re not
Participant #1:
bitch open, give it a shake and say, what’s up, spirit? Come light in my room. But yeah, I just wanted to throw that into but. So some of you also might be wondering what spirits are like. Some people don’t understand what they are. Some people think that they’re ghosts are just painful. But spirits are being like they are all spirits will rip your face off and kill you. And that’s really sad. Please don’t die because of the spirit. Worst scary movie ever. Her face was eaten by a spirit. I knew it. That’s how she was going to go to plasma everywhere.
Participant #1:
But spirits are actually they include our guides. As Robin said, our energies have to go somewhere after we pass away. And that is how we get onto the spiritual plane. And as I said, contrary to some beliefs, spirits aren’t innately negative. Just like people. It depends on who they are or war and what they experienced in their lives before passing away. Most negative spirits are so wrapped up in their own pain, you’ll just be witnessing their negative emotions. But of course, on rare occasions you’ll have one who will inflict their pain onto you. Yeah, and rip your face off and kill you. It’s really sad. Spirits also take other kinds of forms too. Like, again, it depends on your belief system. But there’s stuff like land spirits and animism which are basically the guardians and energy of the land that you live on. There are spirits that you actually just talked about this in a Patreon article about making a home guardian and how it can kind of become its own spirit. Spirits aren’t just human vessels that are wandering, sad and miserable. Sometimes kids also come in the form of your guides, which I know Maria just said that they come in the form of your ancestors just popping in to be like, what’s up? And as you said, like energies that have been created over time that they have become their own. They become their own thing, they become their own energy. Sacred spaces, especially ancient ones, tend to have their own kind of like spirit. What’s the word I’m looking for here? I want to say force field, but that is dead wrong. But it has its own kind of like spirit energy, the space itself. You can feel it right when you walk in there.
Participant #1:
Again. I know we’re getting close to the spooky season. It’s not like it’s on the TV. It’s not
Participant #1:
sad. Like shaking chains. I wish it was. That would be so entertaining. Whatever. That would be terrifying. That sounds really fun, actually. So maybe you should learn how experiences on here. Can we sort of go fund me to get Maria to have fun on Twitter? I’m not going to give anyone any context. I’m just going to make a GoFundMe put it on Twitter and be like, I’m going to say I am too fun. I’m going to say you can sponsor Maria to learn how to have fun. Thank you, everyone. She doesn’t like wailing ghouls with chains. She sounds fucking blamed me. Similarly, though, when things like spirits, when we are talking about like our ancestors or loved ones, et cetera, big misconception that I feel people need to know when they are going into their 1st October, their first veil thinning is that spirits are still fucking people, right? And so let’s say you want to talk to grandma. Let’s say you want to talk to grandma. You’re like, Oh, Grammy, I love you so much. Let’s have tea. I don’t know, what do people do with their grandma? So they’re talking to the dead. Oh, no. But that’s wholesome I feel alive. And so I don’t know what I would do. But maybe let’s have tea with them. Let’s pretend that my grandma is past for this exercise and I’m going to invite her to tea. Well, my grandmother, my Bonita, she is a little Henry in life and she’s kind of a cranky bitch. She doesn’t like hanging out with people. I love her to death, but it’s true. And so she just does it like in life. She just does not want to hang out with people. So let’s say I make this tea for us to share and I want to commune with My again. She’s alive. I don’t wish her death, but we’re in this exercise, we are pretending she has passed on. She might not show up, because even in life, she doesn’t like hanging out with people unless she wants to. And spirits are still like that. Just because you want to hang out with them does not mean necessarily that they’re going to want to hang out with you back.
Participant #1:
I can totally see your grandmother being, like, in the middle of something random, being like, Robin, I am ready to talk to you. Let’s check the day that Stella passes on, because she won’t show up until in the morning and be like, like, I thought of something, and we need to talk about it immediately. And then I won’t hear from her again for six months. I dread it. I really read it. I told her many times that she better not come haunting me at 200 in the morning. And she’d be like she’s straight up will tell me, like, I will do what I want. Mind your business. And you know what? She will do what she wants, and I have nothing I can do to stop that. And, oh, well, I’m prepared for it. I dreaded, but I’m prepared for it.
Participant #1:
But I think that’s the major thing people need to recognize. And I get this question actually quite a lot at my day job where people want to talk to, again, the example of their Grammy, and it doesn’t work like that. Yes, you can call and see, pick up the phone. Think of it like a phone. You can pick up the phone and you can call them and maybe they’ll pick up, but they also might not. And you need to have that realistic expectation. And that doesn’t mean that you’ve done something wrong in terms of communicating with them. It means that your Grammy just doesn’t want to fucking talk to you right now, and that’s okay. Or even depending on your belief system, has moved on. That does happen. Yeah. And they also have other family members also to look after other people they connect with. No, I am the only one. She has everyone’s, guys, but I’m actually the only person that gets anyone’s ancestors. There are literally 59 grandmothers stood inside my little house right at this moment, and I had one of them. Guys,
Participant #1:
that’s so funny. We should probably talk about what also spirits are drawn to. Yes. So in my experiences, they are drawn to energy when it comes. If we are adrenaline going, like, let’s say you are freaked out, anxious, watched in action, or scary movie or angry or upset, and you’re just kind of like, trying to settle down from basically the emotional high you are experiencing, even if it was a negative high, but they will use that energy we are giving off to manifest. Energy also comes in the form of acts of service in my opinion. For example, you have an ancestral altar. So again, I’m using the example here of loved ones. Obviously, it acts of service, being that Grandpa really liked Tito’s and you know that your uncle really liked Marlboro whites. Their favorite food was, I don’t know, fucking spaghetti. Taking the energy and time, et cetera, to poor Grandpa shot of titles and get some cigarettes and put them out. Even using cigarettes as like a form of incense, let’s say. Please don’t do that if you have children. I don’t need anybody fucking coming to here being like, secondhand, smoke kills. I know, okay. I’m just using it as an example. Doing those sort of things, though, is also a form of energy. Making them a meal to put out on the altar, that kind of thing. These can be seen as their offerings, essentially, but they are the same sort of energy that Maria was talking about and even doing little things every day, like lighting incense on your altar, the flame literally burning away at that. Incense is also a form of energy. It doesn’t necessarily just have to be your mood energy, but also like doing acts of service, if that makes sense. It becomes almost devotion like you would to a god or goddess in and of itself. I think it’s funny, like when you see people who are freaking out with ghost hunting and they’re like experience, and they’re the ones that are experiencing the majority of activity because their nerves are making them like, oh, no, they’re the ones that their hands are getting held and just know. And also simultaneously can I just say, I’m going to say right now. So everybody buckle in if you’re driving a car, maybe possibly Robin is about to say something. Praise spicy. If ghosts could actually harm and kill people, there wouldn’t be any white people alive today, especially if you live in America. So, yes, they are scary sometimes. Yes, they can do things that will fuck with our lives. Being little menaces. Heck, I am fully on board with the fact they can scratch and cause you some sort of physical reaction. But a ghost isn’t going to hurt you. Hurt you. Yeah. If there’s something serious going on there, like for real, first and foremost, I suggest you to seek mental health. Not because I am trying to be dismissive of anybody’s experiences, but sometimes we can hallucinate things that we think are a lot more serious or dangerous. And so let’s just check that little box out first to make sure that our mind as well before going to the next step, which we are looking at things like evil spirits being in our house, demons depends on your faith system, of course, but these much more serious, malicious type things. I personally don’t believe in demons in that respect, but a lot of people do. And so I don’t want to disrespect anybody’s belief. That’s why I’m saying we cross that bridge after we make sure that our mind is well, and if our mind is sounding well, then let’s move forward with tackling whatever is causing us grief in our home. Yeah, and sometimes a lot of people also see spirits when they, like, wake up and they’re at the edge of my consciousness. And yes, sometimes it means that you are, like, still draining. Yes, we’ve talked about this before, how we said you just need to blink your eyes repeatedly and if they’re still there and moving around, obviously it’s a spirit. Or as Robin said, please get your mental health check out. I just did something very stupid and nobody can see me to tell you. You said to blink your eyes, and so I did. Like a munch. I don’t even know why I did that.
Participant #1:
They’re stupid guys. Is my computer still there? I don’t know why I did it. I did it as a reactionary thing.
Participant #1:
So finally we want to talk about safety precautions for dealing. And I have one more last thing to talk about after safety precautions, too. Safety precautions. First of all, I know that there is a book. There’s a few books actually, I don’t want to say a book because that’s going to sound like I’m trying to subtweet anybody. I’m not. There are a few books out there that will tell you to go get things like graveyard dirt. I personally do not recommend you doing that if you don’t know what you’re doing. You’ll need to clean the graveyard dirt to go into collect graveyard dirt. There’s like a whole procedure there of being really respectful so that’s doing stuff like paying the guardians at the gate of the cemetery that is doing things like bringing an offering of flowers to the grave, even if it’s your fucking uncle, okay? Because there’s a lot of layers of respect here that need to be met, in my opinion, to successfully collect graveyard dirt. So I recommend that if you have never done it before with somebody else who knows what they’re doing or you haven’t done a ton of research, et cetera, please don’t do that. You’ll learn really fast. You’ll learn real fucking quick that people don’t like their graves dirt just being taken really nilly. And I will say also, this goes to even, like, buyers, like people that you trust, sellers that you trust just don’t buy from. I wouldn’t buy grapefruit from somebody. Yeah. Let me say that. I’m going to be completely honest. I have made that mistake in the past, and I will never, ever, ever do it again, even though I trusted the person that I bought it from. And I’m sure she did all the right things to do it, but I had the worst spirit visitation of my life. Also, when you think about it. So let’s say that your reputable seller sells dirt. They’ve collected and all respectfully. They’ve done everything right. They got the permission not you exactly, just right then and there, full stop. Don’t fucking do it. Please and thank you. Also, you can do things within your home as available as bidding on, like just cleansing and protecting your home. You can do stuff like doing camoufl washes on your windows and all the thresholds. I actually am pretty sure last year we did an article on how to properly prepare your home for that sort of thing. So if you guys join the library, I’m double checking right now. Yeah, we did. We did an article on how to prep your home properly. Yeah. And I will be releasing another article with some protection spells that you can do in the home to also help. Perfect. Yeah. So there’s a lot you can do. I would say mainly focus on things like cleansing, locking, and protecting thresholds. That’s the big thing. And it doesn’t have to be this grand psychotic scrambling to make it work, because I know people get really worried that they didn’t put enough energy into something or whatever, but it’s more about breaking it up, doing it, getting a car. You do it over a week, it doesn’t have to be done in an hour, you’ll be okay. Yeah, what I do is I do weekly smoke cleansings, like deep smoke cleansing. I usually smoke cleanse at least once a day, at least my sacred space. But I use a lavender and rosemary cleansing wand and I do this with the windows up. I lay down salt based threshold spills and use protection sprays. But I don’t personally mind a respectful spirit passing through my home. So I just make it clear when I’m putting up these protections that they are for spirits who intend to cause me harm or who will scare me awake at like 03:00 in the morning, which honestly is bound to happen at least once a year because, you know, spirits are pretty sneaky and they will sneak in. Yeah,
Participant #1:
I keep it simple, and I’ve had success keeping it simple. Keep it simple. Guys, what was the other thing you want to talk about before we in the world of TikTok? Someone brought up on the discord that this woman has discovered TikTok, you guys, and she is gay TikTok. Okay, I follow all the lesbian stuff like that. I say far away from which TikTok, but apparently people are saying that the bill is going to completely collapse this year. Guys. I know. That is the most psychotic thing I’ve ever heard in my life. The veil is going to collapse on fucking what? It’s a figure of speech. Okay, let me give the reason why people may be saying this. The stress and anxiety about going through another pandemic year along with all this stuff, terrible stuff happening in the world can make you feel like that’s energy for spirits. So, yes, you’re probably going to be feeling and experiencing more spirits because you’re putting more energy out there and with the crazy amounts of deaths happening, we may have more spirit activity, and many people like those are in the medical field, and the brief will be dealing with limital spaces more often. We’re facing death far more often due to everything going on. But this does not mean the spirit world is going to completely cross over on the plane. Like, that’s not going to happen. It’s going to cross over and it’s going to collapse. That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard about. What is this, an episode of Ghostbusters? The fuck? Oh, my God. I didn’t even think about that. Literally, they’re describing the plot of Ghostbusters and they’re going it’s going to collapse. Oh, my God. That is I want to pass away immediately. I’m glad you brought that up. Wow. Oh, my God. I don’t get paid enough to deal with even the idea of that. Okay, that is Ghost doctors.
Participant #1:
These kids need to stop watching movies. Listen, I don’t at all ever want to be ages or disrespectful. I was a teenager with an overactive mind as well, and we just didn’t have the Internet like we have now. I think that if the Internet existed as it does now, I probably would be also saying some stupid shit like this online. So no disrespect, I’m not better than anybody. I would have done this, but what the fuck? It’s more concerning that people are entertaining. It like, come on. Oh, my God. All right. You know people. The more outlandish it is, they’re like, that can happen. Jesus Christ. Okay,
Participant #1:
so, Robin, what is stirring your culture this week? The plot of Ghostbusters. Thank you for asking. Oh, my God. That is actually possible.
Participant #1:
What is during my culture right now is actually the community coming together in a way that I didn’t actually expect them to. I got really pissed off yesterday, not some with a specific commenter who suggested that people should eat trash instead of shop at Walmart, which is poor. Poor people, disabled people, people who live in rural areas deserve to eat fresh food anyway. So aside from that, what I’m happy about is the fact that I made a post about it and I didn’t expect it really to do anything because I was pissed off and I was writing out of anger because it made me very angry that somebody would suggest something so absolutely out of touch. The people validating each other and lifting each other up and saying stuff like, I feel validated seeing this. And then people commenting back to them, being like, of course this doesn’t make you a bad witch or whatever, and just lifting each other up. It was really sweet. And normally I post stuff like that, and you always have some daycare in the comments. It’s like, well, actually, classism is good, actually, and better. Actually, classism is preferred. Thank you. And that really didn’t happen at all. And that really surprised me because I was expecting it to happen and it didn’t, and it made me really happy. So I called her in this week. It’s just people being decent human beings to one another. It’s nice. And then here comes my stirring,
Participant #1:
because it doesn’t happen that often. Not that people don’t lift each other up, but that it was a 99.9% response of people being supportive of one another and lifting each other up. Especially considering the Post has the count at this moment. The post currently has 300 comments on it and they’re all just positive and lifting each other up and being kind. I don’t know, I’d like to see more of that from the community. Everyone. Is our community evolving for the business? Are we evolving? You know why? It’s because the veil is about to absolutely collapse.
Participant #1:
Oh, no. I’m not going to let that go for quite some time. The supreme says, shut the fuck up. Okay,
Participant #1:
Maria, let’s not start hear Coldwriting this week. Thank you so much for asking. So we are coming up on an exciting time known as witchy season. Everyone is coming with fresh new perspectives, but also with their opinions dressed up as facts. People get so wrapped up in wanting a perfect practice that they will make themselves believe there’s only one way to do a particular thing. And when they see someone else doing it differently, it’ll give them an error of superiority. Now, don’t let anyone that you’re doing something wrong in your craft, especially if you’re doing something that’s if you’re being respectful and is obviously working for you. Magic is very personal and unique to the individual. If someone feels like a pendulum only works by holding the cord in their mouth, I mean, rock on. If someone blows out the candle,
Participant #1:
if somebody fucking puts the pendulum in their mouth and swings it, it’s fucking fine. That’s valid, actually. I want to know the conversation in your brain that wants you to make sam,
Participant #1:
because I know you’re asked to write notes about the Victorian because you have brain fog and that’s not a dig. So you were fucking writing notes beforehand and you were like, yes,
Participant #1:
look. Did you laugh? Yes, I did. I really did. I just love it. I love how your mind is
Participant #1:
like if someone blows out their candles rather than using, like, a snuffer. I mean, mind your business. Yeah. Do you think witches of centuries past were not doing things all the same? They had no way of communicating and most could even afford books of magic or even knew they existed. They did what their intuition told them to do and they learned from failures and experimentation. And I’m just warning all the way through chaos magic. It’s literally the backbone of chaos magic. Chaos Magic doesn’t mean you get to just do whatever you want and it’s chaos. It doesn’t mean being chaotic. But Chaos Magic is leading things as though it’s the scientific method and you’re going to try something and see how it works. And if it works for you, then you fucking hot. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to work for everybody else. So just everyone relax. Whenever when you say chaos magic like that, I always think of someone going percore and like jumping on the wall, oh, my God. There was this TikTok a year ago where somebody did something that’s good for them, but it was very much so. Like, you have no idea what’s happening at all, do you? And somebody had done exactly what you said. The example you gave of that’s not how it’s done. Which I agree with the commenter, but who are you helping by saying that, right? And I often quote this, it’s been a year and I still quote it because the person went, you ever heard of a little thing called chaos magic? And that’s literally how they said it. And I pissed my pants laughing when I saw that. And I say it now all the time. I’ll say the ranks. Literally, it’ll be like, baby, why are you washing the dishes like that? And I’ll turn around and be like, you ever heard of a little thing called chaos?
Participant #1:
Oh, my God. Love that magic. Park Court. But I’m just warning everybody, like, lean heavy on the block button. If someone’s just giving you a hard time for something you’re obviously doing right, especially for you and you have stuff to back it up, it’s really not your job to educate others unless you are a teacher or mentor. And if someone wants to be ignorant, most likely there’s going to be nothing you can do or say to change their minds. So protect your energy. Don’t engage. What I think of it is as a good example is when Bible pushers comment that are like, fine, jesus, did that ever work? Has it ever worked for anyone? Or has it just pissed off the person that you are that they commented on or they find it funny or whatever you are doing the equivalent of being like Corinthians 415 or I just know the word corinthian. I don’t know what the psalm numbers are. Yeah. So nobody come for me and be like, there isn’t a Corinthians for like, I don’t fucking know. Okay, watch. There is one and it’s like horrible. I’m literally just saying words, guys. God, I hope not. She Sneezes five times in a row. This is my understanding of the Bible. So yeah, anyway, that’s what those people sound like, so don’t be those people, please. It’s embarrassing. Yeah, please don’t. It is. It is so embarrassing. It is not a quick way to make friends in the community, I will tell you that much. Yeah, you’re just going to piss people off
Participant #1:
if this is your first week listening to us. Every single week, we talk about creators that we are loving right now. This could be anybody from musicians to photographers, to artists, to shops, to influencing blogs, whatever. This issue we just think is pretty freaking cool at this moment. And in saying that, they are organically found. And so if you are a verified fucking account, who sends us a DM like the one we got yesterday being, like, promote our tarot deck. Was it a tarot deck? It doesn’t matter. No, it’s candles. We’re just going to make fun of you. I’m making fun of you right now in the air. I’m literally making fun of you on the air right now because of your dumb fucking handle message, so oh, my God. It bugs his.
Participant #1:
Some will say that’s lucky. No.
Participant #1:
Maria, are you okay?
Participant #1:
I’m leaving that in. We’re not cropping that out. Everyone heard me swallow a bug on life. Oh, my God. I just swallowed a nap. What’s up? Anyway, I know that I’m fucking annoying, but that was the most annoying thing I’ve ever done. No, that was the best thing you’ve done, like, 10,000. It’s gone. It’s in my stomach. It’s gone, though. Oh, my God. You’re just flying around your lungs. Never say that to me.
Participant #1:
You’re going to turn into the Fly. Oh, my God. At least I’ll be Jeff Goldloom. He’s hot. Okay, anyway, Maria, what shop are you loving this week? So I am loving the shop, baby. Voodoo shop on Instagram. And, oh, my gosh, their incense and everything they make looks absolutely beautiful and magical, and I want it all. And actually, I might actually buy some here shortly. I don’t know. All their stuff looks so amazingly curated, and I wanted hundreds. They make incense sticks. I think they have candles, and they have just a bunch of, like, little knickknacks for cleansing and otherwise. And I love it all, and I want it all. Yeah, it just looks really lush. All of it looks super lush and, like, really well made and, like, patient, I guess you could say, is the word I’m looking for that was put in there. Yeah, usually when you see, like, handmade incense, it’s all, like, chunky. Yeah, no, these are beautiful. Like, amazing, gorgeous
Participant #1:
surprises are really not that bad either. Yeah, these kind of incense are, like, $30 for five of them. So this is not bad. All right, I’m convinced. I’m going to get some, too. There you go. So what have you been loving? There is a creator called the Coven of Cuteness. Yes. I know that this is two weeks in a row that I have suggested, like, artwork that is adorable. But you know what, guys? This is my podcast, and I will talk about whatever I want. This is really fucking cute. They make little figurines. I personally am super into the double scoop melting ice cream, like, ghouls. And they have this knit creature of the Black Lagoon that I really want, and I think that I missed the sale for that. So I’m pissed. But, yeah, twelve out of ten fucking cute guys. Very fucking cute. And if you’re somebody who is like me, who likes getting, like, spooky stuff during this time of year, but then becomes home decor all year round, this shit would fit right in with that. It’s cute. There’s these also little skeleton fairies, and I want to get them made to look like Robin and I. One will have blue hair and one will have brown hair. Yes. And it would be adorable. I love it. I love all their stuff. They’re gorgeous. Yeah. We feel so talented. I can’t. It’s fucking rude. It is so rude. Leave a little talent for the rest of us, guys.
