Divergent Witchcraft - Most Powerful Spells!

Divergent Witchcraft - Most Powerful Spells!

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] Magick is as dynamic as we are! We’re joined by Jenny C. Bell, author of Divergent Witchcraft, to talk about building an inclusive witchcraft practice for real humans: ADHD minds, autistic learners, highly sensitive people, and anyone who has ever felt “other” in a world built around someone else’s rules.    We unpack why Jenny chose the word “divergent” instead of trying to speak for every form of neurodivergence, and how witches are already deviating from the norm just by claiming the word witch. From there, we go deeper into deconstruction: how Abrahamic religious frameworks, Puritan work ethic, and cultural pressure can teach obedience, shame, and disconnection, and how self-sovereignty becomes a core magical skill.    Then we get practical. Jenny shares meditation options for people who can’t sit still, including walking meditation and “meditative moments” that happen while you craft, doodle, or move. We talk journaling with purpose (especially writing to your future self), speaking spells out loud through breath and vibration, simple summer solstice rituals that celebrate sunshine without pressure, and using music playlists as a powerful ally for manifestation and energy work.    If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review so more divergent witches can find their way home.

Healing The Land, Healing Ourselves- Dr. Maceo Carrillo Martinet

Text the Show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2330079/fan_mail/new] The fastest way to lose the future is to forget the past, what the land already taught our ancestors. Granddaughter Crow sits down with Dr. Maceo Carrillo Martinet, ecologist, educator, and community restoration practitioner, to explore why climate change adaptation is as much about relationship as it is about data. His book Healing the Land Teaches Us Who We Are brings “hard science” into conversation with Indigenous knowledge, history, and cultural resistance, insisting that restoration work has to heal people and place at the same time. We dig into how cycles and interdependence show up in both ecology and traditional teachings, and why linear “progress” can blind us to solutions that have worked for thousands of years. Dr. Martinet shares a powerful watershed restoration story from a legal water meeting where the default answer is bigger dams and bigger budgets, but the evidence points back to small rock dams placed high in the mountains. Those humble structures can slow runoff, increase infiltration, and bring back grasses, wildlife, and resilience, turning wounded land into a sponge again. From there, we widen the lens to common lands, biodiversity, and the overlooked history of communal stewardship across the world, including Europe. We also challenge the words we use, unpacking how language can be a companion of empire and how even the word “nature” can carry separation. Along the way, we talk about listening to the land’s soundscape and why the “languages of life” matter if we want real ecological restoration, sustainable futures, and community healing. If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find Belief Being and Beyond. Bio:  For over 24 years, Dr. Maceo Carrillo Martinet has been co-creating and implementing community-based ecological restoration and education projects across New Mexico and beyond. Helping communities restore land and water has been both his professional and personal passions and obligations since he can remember. His book: “Healing the Land Teaches Us Who We Are”, published by North Atlantic Books, is a culmination of his experiences working in community on projects to restore the land, but also attempts to situate ecological restoration into historical and cultural context in these tumultuous times. He received his doctorate in biology from the University of New Mexico where he focused on ecology, freshwater sciences and environmental education. Presently, he teaches a hands-on course at UNM on watershed and community restoration, and is planning to take students to do this work internationally. https://maceocm.com/ [https://maceocm.com/] 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

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.

Self-expression, self-autonomy, and the humans right to breathe!

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.
