Decolonizing Tarot w/Christopher Marmolejo

What If The Moon Is What You are Missing with Manifesting - Jen Sankey

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] Manifestation gets sold like a shortcut, but your life doesn’t change on a timer. We sit down with author, tarot reader, and professional witch Jen Sankey to talk about a different approach: manifesting with the moon in a way that’s tangible, repeatable, and built for real humans with full schedules, real emotions, and zero interest in gatekeeping. We dig into why so many people feel stuck with modern “high vibration” manifesting culture, and why strict moon phase rules online can freeze new witches in place. Jen breaks down how every phase of the lunar cycle has a purpose, so you’re not waiting around for a perfect new moon or second guessing whether the full moon is “only” for releasing. We also explore the difference between tossing a wish into the universe and building momentum through reflection, action, and honest self inquiry. One of the most helpful takeaways is Jen’s framework of lunar spirit, lunar mind, and lunar body, plus how tarot spreads can help you narrow your intention, spot resistance, and stop manifesting goals you don’t even want. Along the way, we call out red flags in pricey manifestation programs, share practical ways to work with current moon timing, and get a fun peek behind the scenes of tarot deck creation and Jen’s upcoming projects. If this gives you a new way to work with your intuition, help us keep the show going: subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review. _______ Jen Sankey is an author, deck creator, tarot reader, professional witch, and speaker.

Not from a “AI helps me get things done fast” nor from a position of the fact that “The AI data centers are detrimental to the mother earth and are stripping basic resources from already stressed environments”.  Tonight, we are going to go back to the heartbeat of the human race. Self-expression, self-autonomy, and the humans right to breathe! We are joined here by the Artists of our time, the Authors, and Creators: Nikki Wardwell Sleath, Deborah Blake, and Mickie Mueller sit down with Jenny C Bell and Granddaughter Crow to explore the impact of “How people in the Spiritual and Witchcraft community view AI”!

How to Become a Ghost and MORE About the Afterlife - Samantha Corfield

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] Samantha is a spiritual counselor, educator, ordained minister, and PhD in theology and world religions, and she brings a rare mix of grounded care and mystic clarity. Her new book, Create Your Own Afterlife: Take Control of Life After Death, asks a bold question: what if the afterlife isn’t just something that happens to you, but something you can prepare for with intention?    We talk about ancestors, the power of grandmothers as guides, and how early spiritual experiences can become a lifelong toolkit for grief support and life transitions. Then we dig into one of the most surprising ideas in the conversation: “ghost training.” Samantha explains why there are plenty of books on contacting spirits, but almost none on how to be a spirit responsibly. We explore how to plan the kinds of signs you might send after death, how different religions view ghosts and afterlife contact, and how thinking this through can deepen your relationships right now.    We also go straight into the heavy stuff: guilt, fear of punishment, and what to do when you need to make amends but the person you hurt has already passed. Samantha shares practical ways to repair, release, and reclaim hope, plus a vision for placing afterlife resources in hospice care and cancer centers where people need them most. If you’ve been searching for afterlife planning, fear of death help, grief healing, or spiritual counseling that doesn’t talk down to you, this one’s for you.    Subscribe, share this with someone who needs steadier ground, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation. Bio:  Samantha Corfield is a spiritual counselor, educator, and founder of Spellmaker, a metaphysical business she has operated since 1995. Over the years, she has worked closely with hundreds of individuals navigating uncertainty, grief, spiritual doubt, fear of death, and life transitions.  Her book, Create Your Own Afterlife, encourages readers to examine mortality with curiosity rather than avoidance. Free from dogma yet respectful of diverse beliefs, the book provides reflective exercises designed to help readers release inherited fears, define their spiritual truth, and craft a meaningful afterlife vision rooted in personal authenticity.  While completing the final edits of the manuscript, Samantha experienced the sudden loss of her grandson, Preston. In the midst of profound grief, she found herself returning to the very framework she had created. The exercises became grounding tools — helping her reconnect with love, memory, and present-moment awareness.  That lived experience strengthened her conviction that imagining one’s afterlife can be stabilizing rather than escapist. Samantha’s work blends psychological insight, spiritual imagination, and practical reflection. She believes that facing mortality honestly can reduce anxiety, restore agency, and help people live more fully — and that planning one’s afterlife may be one of the most liberating acts of self-awareness a person can undertake.  Samantha lives with her husband of 20 years, Matt, and their dog, Rosie. She also makes a mean gumbo.

Decolonizing Tarot w/Christopher Marmolejo

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] Tarot isn’t just a mirror for your personal life. It can also be a language for breaking the spell of colonized thinking. We sit down with Christopher Marmolejo, author of The Red Tarot, to talk about divination as a “literacy of liberation” and what it looks like to read the cards through a queer, trans, decolonial lens. We get honest about how colonization trains us to treat certain kinds of knowledge as “real” and dismiss spirit, ancestors, ritual, and psychic experience as irrational. We also connect this to the Missing Witches Reparations Fundraiser and why reparations are about repair, not charity. From there, we make it practical. We explore what “colonized” interpretations can sound like in tarot, especially around gender, relationships, and the pressure to predict one correct future. Christopher reframes the Twos in the minor arcana, showing how the Two of Cups can hold fluid identity and two-spirit resonance, how the Two of Swords can reveal dissociation and silence born from trauma, and how the Two of Pentacles can invite you to learn by experience instead of following a rigid map. We close with a grounding reminder: we don’t know what we don’t know, and staying curious keeps the spirit from getting exhausted.

Ancient Deities for the Modern Witch - Deborah Blake

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] A Deity can feel like a doorway, but most people get stuck on the threshold. How do you know who to approach, what to offer, and whether you’re crossing a line culturally or spiritually? We sit down with prolific modern witchcraft author Deborah Blake to talk about The Everyday Witch Book of Deities and what it looks like to build a real relationship with ancient Deities in a modern life that’s busy, noisy, and not designed for quiet spiritual practice.  We get honest about research, too. A lot of witches grew up reading the same small stack of classic books, and research wasn’t what it is now with the internet. Deborah shares what changed when she dug deeper, and what still matters even when the history is messy.  Then we go into the questions people are often afraid to ask out loud: cultural appropriation in witchcraft, how to stay respectful when a deity isn’t “from your culture,” and why there’s no neat rulebook that covers every spiritual call. We also make room for gender-expansive and LGBTQ+ seekers, including deities that don’t fit a strict god or goddess box, and why Hecate and other darker, protective powers can feel especially relevant right now.  If you’ve been waiting for permission to practice in a way that’s sincere, grounded, and actually sustainable, hit play. Then subscribe, share this with a witchy friend, and leave a review with the deity or theme you want us to explore next. Bio:  Deborah Blake is the author of nineteen books on modern Witchcraft, including The Eclectic Witch’s Book of Shadows, A Year and a Day of Everyday Magic, and the Everyday Witch’s Book of Deities, as well as the acclaimed Everyday Witch Tarot and Oracle and Everyday Witch’s Familiars Oracle decks. She has also written three paranormal romance and urban fantasy series, and as well as a cozy mystery series about a run-down pet rescue. Deborah lives in a 130 year old farmhouse in upstate New York with numerous cats who supervise all her activities, both magical and mundane. http://deborahblakeauthor.com [http://deborahblakeauthor.com] IG: @deborahblakeauthor & @the_crankycrone Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow] Granddaughter Crow - www.granddaughtercrow.com Check Out My Patreon https://www.patreon.com/GranddaughterCrow  Check Out My Substack https://substack.com/@granddaughtercrow [https://substack.com/@granddaughtercrow] Social Media: @GranddaughterCrow  YouTube Channel: @GranddaughterCrow Jenny C Bell - https://www.jennycbell.com/ Jenny’s Our Coven Community https://our-coven.mn.co/landing For more from Jenny: https://linktr.ee/Jennyc.bell?utm_source=linktree_profile_share
