Your Creative & Magical Life

In this episode, we explore The Hierophant with guest Becky Bullard, the creatrix, messenger, and megaphone behind Democrasexy, a project that aims to engage more people in the democratic and civic process by making it easier, more fun, and... sexy!

In our conversation, Becky shares how her disappointment after the 2016 presidential election spurred to do more, and how a workshop on "awakening your highest self" ...

In this quickie episode, I stay with The Emperor just a moment longer (see previous episode), and invoke his energy to talk about creative space and why Creative Spirits need it — and deserve it!

I talk about The Emperor's relationship to space as a container for his leadership, just like Creative Spirits need containers to move and hold their creative energy.

I also talk about different forms and kinds of cr...

In this episode, we explore The Emperor with Kelly Marshall, a nonbinary writer and yoga therapist who supports people with nervous system recalibration, embodiment, and trauma-informed approaches to yoga, teaching, and community-building.

Together, we examine the imagery of The Emperor card and the energies and meanings conveyed by the visual composition of the archetype. We question why female and femme-identifying folk...

This first quickie-sode is for Creative Spirits who've abandoned, ghosted, or otherwise fallen out with a creative project they used to love. What's often standing in the way of a reunion with an abandoned project isn't just time, space, and a long to-do list. Usually, there's FEELINGS involved, and this tends to perpetuate avoidance. But all those feelings are NORMAL, and we're gonna normalize them! I shar...

We continue our exploration of Tarot and I Ching with Kat Hosoo Lee, a business mentor for spiritual entrepreneurs, Daoism nerd, and I Ching practitioner.

In our last episode, Kat and I laid out the basics, so if you haven't heard it yet, I recommend you hop over to episode 5. In this episode, we explore four hexagrams within the heaven / earth pairing — Hexagrams 1, 2, 11, and 12. Kat shares about the energetic inte...

In this episode, we explore divination more broadly, focusing on Tarot and I Ching. This is the first in a year-long series cohosted with Kat Hosoo Lee, who helps spiritual entrepreneurs connect with their purpose, build sustainable businesses, and attune to intuition and nature. She's been using I Ching as a divination tool for years.

In this conversation, Kat and I explore the history of I Ching and Tarot, how the t...

In this episode, we explore The Empress, the vast creative force that moves through nature and gives us LIFE! Our guest is an Empress herself — Christina Rosales, a journalist-turned-activist who developed a video game about housing justice, which she turned into a stage play. Christina also sews her own clothes, is raising a young son, and has two artistic passions I didn't even know about until late in our conversation!

In this episode, we explore The High Priestess with Ebony Isis Booth, a coach who supports primarily Black and Indigenous folks in transformation, leadership, and emotional alchemy. Our conversation explores the second Major Arcana card through the lens of intuition, self-trust, and Spirit, and we talk about internal and external resistance that arises when intuition delivers its wisdom.

Ebony also teaches us about "u...

Since this show is just getting started, and this episode focuses on THE MAGICIAN, I spend a little time explaining what I mean by Your Creative & Magical Life, and I share about my theory of creativity and how magic can how up in different ways and how we can invite it into our lives.

Then I talk with writer, zine-maker, and postmodern witch Jessica Jernigan all about The Magician archetype. Jessica and I co-teach thi...

In this inaugural episode, I kick things off with a little tribute to Mom and Dad, then we dive right in to explore The Fool and the elements and symbols we see in this very first card of the Tarot. 

I talk about what The Fool IS and ISN'T about, and how this podcast reflects a Fool moment, which reflects the very Fool-like origins of Typewriter Tarot. Then, I bring on a member of the Typewriter Tarot coven, Annar Ver...
