Palmistry!

We don't do many eps like this but – we do not know much about Palmistry – and we freely admit this! So this is a research and how what are our impressions about – Episode. We don't and won't do a ton of these but..every once and a while AND

IF you are a Palm reader -we would love to hear from you and talk about having you on the podcast!

Jan 12th, 2021.

*We will be posting pix of the cards we talk about on our Instagram page this week.

Today we talk about dirt. Ok Pentacles and their association. ONE of them – is the earth

“They are treating you like dirt” and many other dirt idioms indicating a clear and COMPLICATED bias to the relationship we have with the physical realm.

We will show a lot of the cards

Also – If you haven't been our our Instagram – we are proud supporters of BLM, Social Justice, Fight for the Earth, Queer gals. Our podcast – we hope always reflect those values.

 

:30 We pull a card and “read” from the book that describes that particular deck.

TRIGGER WARNING

4:26 – 8:15 We address the insurrection and attempted coup that took place on January 6th, 2021. Please stay aware, safe, healthy, and do what you can on the mundane level as well as in your work as a witch to keep you and those most marginalized safe. Ward yourself, others if they are willing, and your property, any protection and or banishment skills you have in your toolbox

We are thinking of you and holding all of our community in power.

8:15 General Babble

9:20 – A Midsummer Nigh't Dream, Into the Unknown and other babble.

13:27: The Library – History of Pentacles

18:57 Head out to the Bonfire

We talk about Pentacles, correlation some specific cards, why we love them,  the ways to interpret from books, to looking at the pictures to listening to yourself to listening to clients. Listening. Creativity… well -take a listen!

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble! 

Oh yeah. We are talking potions today. For our mouth, for our body— what exactly are potions and how do you use them? We talk History ( of course) a couple of tried and true recipes and fun ways we have used them.

We also have some exciting announcements and a favor ( the ask is at the end!).

This is our first show back after some tech issues. Meaning, part of it was recorded before January 6th, 2021, and part was recorded after the terrorist attack by white supremest T supporters. We touch oh so briefly ( maybe 30 seconds) on the fact that we do not support or condone, nor have we ever,  #45, and wish #25 would be invoked ASAP. Check out our Instagram if you want to follow up on a potion to relieve stress and take action on this issue.

As we are halfway through the waning sun cycle – halfway to the Winter Solstice, Yule, Return of the Sun WHERE IS THE LIGHT!? Well – it is a great time for Candle Magic. But seriously Candle Magic is always in season.

Today we talk about our obsession of candles themselves but also some candle magic.

*Disclaimer / Fire Safety!

When burning candles or using any flame PLEASE practice fire safety. Have water or a fire extinguisher or if you are using oil have baking soda, sand or dirt close by you as it will act similar to a kitchen fire.
