In this more-fun-with-friends episode of Shit My Soul Says, Jillian and Rosalie welcome their first-ever guest, Emily Carlin—a seasoned death witch, teacher, and mediator based in Seattle. Together, they dive into the worlds of pop culture magic, folk Catholicism, and working with death deities like Sante Muerte. From how to spot red flags at your first pagan ritual to Batman as an unexpected magical ally, Emily shares her unique perspectives on harnessing magical energy from both the mystical and the mainstream all the way to death work and the land of the dead. Along the way, Jillian and Rosalie recount their own weekly Woo, discuss getting powered up with spirit guides (or even Frodo), and give a shout out to the techno ghost lurking around the studio.

With wit, wisdom, and the occasional side-eye at Bella from Twilight, this episode is packed with plenty of woo for seasoned practitioners and curious newcomers alike. Tune in, grab your imaginary cup of tea with Giles, and find out what shit your soul has to say!
