Scottsdale to set yourintentions for 2025.
Well, Margaret, welcome back.
(01:11):
Oh, thank you.
Getting ready for the new year.
I know.
I think a lot of people arerelieved to be exiting 2024 because
that year of transformation,the eight year, was no joke.
It was a little painful, butit was meant to be.
And we don't get another eightyear for nine more years.
(01:33):
So we want to really enjoythis last bit of it.
But by the time this airs, itwill be 2025 and people will be starting
into the nine year, the yearof endings that end things that no
longer serve you.
So I thought it would be greatto have you here today to talk to
us about some of the ritualsyou're practicing to prepare for
(01:57):
the new year.
So we can do that as well.
Well, it is a big one.
We're ushering in Chineseastrology, the year of the dragon
out.
And actually you're going tofind this interesting.
In Chinese astrology, this isthe year of the snake.
But not only the snake, thewood snake.
(02:18):
The last time the element woodlined up with the snake was 1965.
Oh, wow.
And it just sounds like it'sso in alignment with Tom McMullen's
predictions for everythingthat ahead.
I just, I thought I have to.
Add that in the Vietnam War, Ithink is what started around that.
(02:40):
It's going to be aninteresting year in 2025.
And like you said, it's goingto be a year of real spiritual growth,
but full of transitions.
We're going to have to be veryopen to releasing, letting go Being
open to change, adapting, lotsof closure.
(03:06):
And of course, it's not onlythings we're releasing, but people
around us are also releasing things.
So it's going to be quite aheady mix, you know.
And so a lot of what we'regoing to be doing going into 2025
is to really be serious aboutour intentions.
(03:26):
What are we open to releasing?
Really focusing, especiallythis year, more on the releasing
and setting intentions forpersonal growth, transformation,
getting ready to move forward.
It's a year where we're goingto need a tremendous amount of grounding.
(03:49):
Yeah.
So out of the things that I'mdoing to move forward are all around
cleansing my home and gettingready to put more grounding energies,
you know, into my practice.
I'm in Aries, so I'm going toneed a lot of grounding this year.
(04:10):
So one of the things that I'mdoing as the new year comes in is
I'm doing a grounding floor wash.
So I'm taking.
You take about a gallon ofwater and you add a cup of vinegar
in there and you add in somelemon, patchouli, rosemary, cedar,
(04:39):
those kinds of grounding herbs.
And with the intention ofclearing out anything negative, especially
stagnant, holding you back andopening up the space to renewal and
mopping the floor with that isone of the things that really helps
(05:01):
a lot of people on the 1stalready wash their front doors, you
know, do a cleansing on theirfront doors and set intentions for
prosperity entering theirhouse in the new year, or they do
it monthly for the new month.
But this year adding some ofthose grounding herbs in, even a
little eucalyptus maybe, andreally washing that front door down,
(05:26):
because you're going to need alittle bit of protection also.
What comes through that frontdoor this year.
Yeah.
So kind of, you know, thoselittle cleansings that we do, not
just the smudging work, butalso really cleaning the clutter
out.
Do you make spray bottles withvinegar, water, lemon patchouli and
(05:47):
rosemary?
Do you know what I am making?
I'm gonna post those recipesand anybody is interested, they can
message me and I will sendthem the floor wash recipe.
And then there's a floor sweeprecipe that you can also use.
And what I'm making in my shopis I'm making a grounding oil for
(06:09):
2025, because I think we'reall going to need that this year.
Yes.
And full of herbs to reallypromote clarity of thought, you know,
for that, that intention, thatgrounding to give us the stability
to get through all of that andthen as herbs and oils for spiritual
(06:30):
growth and transformation.
And so those oils will be inmy shop.
And the other thing that I ammaking is a grounding wash with the
Epsom salt, Himalayan salt,and the different herbs to really
go into 2025 and ground that energy.
(06:53):
So those are going to be mytwo products for 2025.
And like I said, I will postrecipes, the recipes or sweep recipes.
And if people aren't hooked upon Instagram or Facebook, if they.
If they message me, I'll.
I'll send them the recipes.
Okay.
So they DM you and you sendthem the recipes.
(07:14):
And then grannymagic.com isthat information there as well on
the website, or are you justdoing it through Instagram?
I don't have it posted,actually on my website, but I have
it on my social media and evenin my shop if they send me a message
through chat.
Okay, okay, that's great.
So, yeah, I know people aregoing to want to do that.
(07:36):
I really think this year isthe year to do that.
And when we're setting ourintentions this year, one of the
things that's really, reallyhelpful is to think in terms of cleansing.
And so an easy thing to do isto take a bowl of water and just
put a little salt in there.
(07:58):
And then if you have a little.
A little sprig of rosemary orcedar or something evergreen.
And as you write what you wantto release, you know, really it's
about focusing the energy andthe intention.
And if you have a red pen, ithelps to write it in red ink.
(08:19):
Right.
That's the message of stop.
And you can fold that up andrelease it, Put it into the water,
and then take your littlesprig into the cleansing water and
just say, I cleanse this space.
I free myself from anythingholding me back.
2025 is my year, a year of transformation.
(08:45):
I think it's.
I think it's going to bereally important in 2025 for people
to be okay with adapting,because a lot of.
A lot of people don't like to adapt.
They'll try and force anagenda or run an agenda.
If there's a relationship thatdoesn't work out for them, it's not
(09:05):
working out for them.
The other person doesn't wantto be in the relationship anymore.
If you try and fight to keepthat relationship, it will not serve
your.
Your highest and good.
So, oh, it'll be a year of trauma.
Yeah.
And it won't prepare you forthe next year, 2026, where we're
going back to a fresh start.
A one year.
(09:25):
A one year, yes.
Well, you know, I pulled thetarot cards real quick, and the Tarot
card for this 20, 25 is thehermit card.
And so it really is aboutbeing comfortable with being alone,
looking out for your ownauthenticity, your own, you know,
(09:47):
best self interest, your ownspiritual transformation, and having
the courage to move forwardwith that.
Even a belief in oneself whereyou don't need other people to validate
who you are or your importanceor your.
You're capable of, you know,doing the great things that you want
(10:09):
to do.
You don't need other peoplecheerleading you on in order to accomplish
that.
So the hermit cards really.
Be secure in yourself.
Yes.
Okay.
Self authenticity and alignment.
Because the real secret is tobe in alignment with your purpose
(10:30):
and the universe's path for you.
And that's what magic's all about.
It's aligning with that energyfor your higher self.
Yeah.
I find a lot of my clientsright now, the whole year has been
people wanting to know aboutcareer relationships.
A lot of people having outrelationships outside of marriages
(10:52):
that I've been counseling andtrying to find that balance where
I'm like, you need to pull thetrigger on this.
It's time, you know, set them free.
Let them find somebody thatwill love.
Them, you know, and do whatyou need to do.
Well, the other cards, ninesare, it's interesting, the.
(11:13):
The wounded healer, I call itthe nine of wands.
And that, that's all aboutstepping forward, but protecting
yourself.
You notice he's protecting himself.
He's got the wands in theback, but he's fearlessly facing
forward.
He's ready to move on.
(11:33):
He's ready to heal.
So it's like healing old wounds.
Don't overthink it, you know,don't overthink it.
You know what to do in yourgut, your intuitive wisdom, let the
universe lead you forward.
You know, it's time to stop procrastinating.
(11:54):
It just ties your energy and knots.
And then the other one is thisnine of pentacles, which, you know,
she's alone, but you'll noticeit's a very sensual card.
You know, she's happy.
Yeah.
Indulging ourselves a littlebit, not being afraid to enjoy.
(12:15):
There's nothing wrong withpleasure and enjoying the things
that this life has to offer us.
And I think self care is goingto be important for us this year
as we go through all of this.
And then this speaks to whatyou and I see in our readings a lot
with clients.
The nine of Cups, you Knowwhat gets great about who you want
(12:37):
in your life?
Who are you inviting into that feast?
You have all that to offer.
All those cups are emotions,all the good things in your life.
You have so much to offer, butyou're the host.
You decide who you invite inand who doesn't belong.
I like.
And so I.
(12:58):
The nine cards are alwayschallenging in a reading, and this
being a nine year, you know,but I think even when we give people
a reading, there's a certainamount of denial sometimes about
moving forward.
There's a lot of.
I was happy to do.
Was happy to do a readingyesterday and I.
(13:20):
I got the first name of theboyfriend and was pulling impressions
and writing the impressions.
I was getting connected to him.
And it was one of those timeswhere I'm like, he wants to buy a
house, he wants to settle down.
He's looking at marriage.
And she was like, you know?
And it just felt good to beable to tell somebody that, because
I've been dealing with thiswhole year of people leaving relationships,
(13:45):
friends being seen for whothey truly are and not really being
friends at all and then leaving.
I just want people out thereknowing that if they feel like the
bottom, the floors dropped outfrom under them.
This is the energy right now.
The universe tried to give ushints over the years that certain
(14:09):
things didn't serve us.
And for the people who didn'tact on it or didn't intuitive pick
up on that energy, they'rebeing forced out of the situation
that they're in by the universe.
And when you're forced, itfeels a little bit more unsettling,
but it's okay.
(14:30):
But recognize it and don't seeit as another challenge or fight
where you need to fightagainst the universe, because that
doesn't usually work out well for.
People, especially this year.
This year, really, this is ayear to ground yourself and to go
with that flow.
What the universe has in mindfor you is so much better than what
(14:52):
you're clinging to.
But I think you're right.
Especially in relationships,people do want to cling, right?
Right.
Well, they're afraid of being alone.
People are more afraid ofbeing alone than most anything else
I ever see.
It's the having to look atthemselves in the mirror and not
have a distraction of beingable to focus on that other person
(15:15):
and trying to fix their lifeor focus on them, but you're forced
to focus on yourself.
And I think that's why peopleare afraid to be alone.
You should never be afraid tobe alone.
You make your friends yourFamily, maybe you get a cool pet
that, you know, you get toenjoy their company, redecorate your
home, get a new job, write abook, do something that is coming
(15:39):
from within you and let theenergy flow back into you rather
than you giving it out toeveryone else around you.
Oh, agreed, agreed.
And I think that process oftransformation, when you open up
to it, the universe reallyneed you.
(16:01):
One of the things that will bevery valuable going into 2025 is
that shadow work that we talkabout so much that it's not just
always light and love.
Sometimes we need to go deep.
And so one of the things Ihave in the shop this year is, I
just got in, are some shadowwork journals.
(16:23):
I've been waiting.
People have been asking forthem, and I waited until I found
some that I really liked.
And so I have those.
And I think if you're feelinglike 2025 is going to be a big year
for you, get started right away.
You know, looking at things inyour past, what might be holding
(16:43):
you back.
You know, exploring thosethings and doing a lot of meditation.
So those books walk peoplethrough the steps of what you need
to do to let go of sort of thegray areas in your life.
Is that right?
I'm sorry, you went out on mefor just a minute.
(17:05):
Yeah.
It's been going in and out theentire time we've been recording,
so I guess repeat.
So the book that you speak ofon shadow work walks you through
the steps of what it takes toremove the gray areas from your life.
Things of the past, woundstied to the past, old relationship
(17:26):
and baggage.
It walks you through it very much.
It walks you through it.
It has meditation exercises,spaces even to draw questions.
I looked through it and it'sone of the best ones that I have
found because it has differentmodalities to it.
But I think being open toreally like you're saying, look at
(17:47):
yourself.
We can only change ourselves.
Yeah.
And once we.
In alignment with ourauthenticity and we can really answer
what the universe has and iscalling us to, we attract to us the
right people.
We attract to us like energy.
So what you're putting outinto the universe are the same energies
(18:11):
you're going to receive back.
So people need to understandthat if you make zero effort to know
people, you lack loyalty.
You're not there for friends,for things that are important to
them, but you expect them tobe there when it's important to you.
Then you're half a person,you're not functioning, and you're
not going to draw in Peoplewho you want in your life because
(18:35):
you're not actually being thekind of person you think you are
or being the kind of personthat you'd like to be.
So people working on being theperson that they really, really want
to be and what they're puttingout into the universe needs to be
focused on in 2025.
(18:55):
And you'll draw in many giftsand people that are like energy,
like the energy you want to be.
So raise your vibration.
Exactly, exactly.
And so I think we'll see a lotin 2025 if we're open to letting
things shift and change, willbe able to step forward and attract
(19:19):
into our lives what it iswe're really wanting.
And, you know, to be thatauthentic, even if, you know, I think
of the.
I love this card, the courageof the wounded healer, in a sense.
But if the person.
So they'll be presented theopportunity to be courageous and
to heal their wounds, but ifthey don't embrace that part of themselves,
(19:43):
then they don't move forward.
So I love that the cards areshowing us what energy is there for
us, where the focus should be.
But people, we have to do thework ourselves.
It's not going to fix it for you.
We have to be a work inprogress at all times.
Yeah, Very, very much.
And even the grounding, youknow, the grounding tools, the crystals,
(20:08):
you know, the hematite I find.
Isn't obsidian like.
Hematite, like that very blackstone that grounds you.
I.
I like those.
You.
Obsidian actually is like ashield against negative energy.
Well, see, I went right for obsidian.
That's what.
That's what I have.
I wanted the shield.
(20:29):
I wanted the full enchilada,like, and.
Then smokey quartz is reallygood for transitions.
It's also good for spiritualprotection, I found because I took
a smoky quartz and I wore thering into a nail salon, which I'm
normally.
It's kind of annoying to go tothe salon now.
You know, people have atoddler on their knee.
(20:51):
It's like, it's a salon.
Have your sister watch them.
It's not relaxing.
It's not relaxing.
And I wore this ring one dayjust to test it out.
And it was the most peacefulexperience I've ever had in a salon.
So I will be continuing that obsessed.
Looking for is wonderful.
(21:11):
Yes.
You know, and the surprisingones that give you, though, the confidence
and the energy for this year.
Red Jasper for 2025.
Like, one of my favorites,Tiger's eye.
You know, that it gives you that.
It's protective.
But it also confident success.
And then bloodstone, thatvitality, that strength.
(21:34):
The crystals will help.
You know, the grounding bathswill help.
The grounding oil will help.
But you're the one that has tobe open to the energies.
Right, Right.
And being able to moveforward, they just calm you down
a little bit and put you in aplace where you can make those.
(21:55):
They help you to adjust yourenergy forward.
Mm, yeah.
So happy to adjust their energy.
They're wonderful.
I think it's gonna be a reallyinteresting year for people.
I'm excited when I think ofthe snake and the wood snake, that
imagery of shedding that skin,you know, and snakes are supposedly
(22:19):
full of wisdom in Chinese culture.
And venom.
Yeah, yeah.
They are protective, you know,and I think there are times we need
to protect ourselves and notfeel guilty.
Especially this year, youknow, say no when you need to say
no.
(22:39):
And I.
I just want to say to people,the stones that you.
The crystals that you justnamed are not expensive stones.
They're not expensive crystals.
If there's somebody you lovethat has a birthday coming up or
just.
It's a nice thing to do, getthem one of these stones that will
help them through these timesand put it on a pendant.
(22:59):
That's why I wear the redstonethat I wear.
It's supposed to open my heartup, and that helps me to process
emotion and empathy.
So it's such a great gift togive, especially to a Capricorn for
those Capricorn birthdays, aswe're in Capricorn season, because
it's of the Earth, they wouldlove it.
(23:23):
So do you know, do you have acrystal site that you frequent or
that you like and trust, or doyou have them on your site?
Well, these crystals I have onmy site.
Great.
These are common.
There are a lot of crystalshops online also.
I prefer my shop.
(23:44):
And to go in person, I dothink you need to be a little bit
careful when you crystal shop.
I think going in person, youreally feel the energy, and sometimes
you just feel drawn to aparticular crystal.
And if you ask about themeaning and the energy, suddenly
you understand why, right?
No, I totally agree.
(24:05):
You could tell by the feelingof the.
The crystal itself.
So when people are settingintentions, what can young people
do?
Get getting ready for thebrand new year?
Because I.
I believe in incorporatingsome of these methods with your children
to shield them, to help themprocess energy, and to learn that
(24:27):
at a young age so as they getolder, they don't feel so cast out
into the world and withoutprotection, but rather they know
the things that they can do tocenter themselves.
Well, you know, one of thethings that I.
I've done with mygrandchildren is setting intentions
(24:50):
for the new year.
And we.
We do a little ritual and we focus.
You know, we light the candle,we meditate on the energy.
We kind of raise the energy inthe candle from the flame.
And I have them write downwhat their intentions were for the
new year.
And then we went outside andwe planted what at the time was a
(25:13):
little rosemary bush.
And then since then, we'veplanted little pine trees.
And usually it's some kind ofan evergreen that's going to be hardy.
And then they love it,especially the rosemary, because
it's right by my front door.
And so every time they come,they see that thing is like 5ft off
(25:37):
the ground.
Now it's this enormous uprightrosemary bush.
Do you have any tips for usmediums that kill things?
We don't mean to, but we havea black thumb.
I've killed more rosemarybushes by my front door.
What do we do?
We have to become a friendwith a hedge witch or something?
Because I cannot keep anyplant alive.
(25:59):
Rosemary is one of the easiest.
That's why I always recommend it.
But I think people over waterrosemary, okay.
Because rosemary actually is aMediterranean plant, and it grows
best in sort of sandy soil.
It needs a lot of drainage.
And so that's one of thereasons it does well for me.
(26:19):
So it's not good by our door.
In a pot.
In a pot.
Dan over waters it.
I can't keep the log only inthe ground.
Okay.
That makes me feel better.
He babies them.
He over waters them.
But that's, I think, rosemary.
The trick is it thrives on neglect.
(26:42):
Oh, oh.
And so what right now?
And I'm going to do a littlevideo on it, too.
Someone asked me to do it.
I'm rooting rosemary and I'mgoing to plant more because it just
does so well here, and I use it.
Rosemary is a universal herb.
You can substitute it for anyother herb in a working.
(27:02):
It's kind of amazing.
Its energy is such.
It can be protective.
It can bring in prosperity.
It can.
It's just this very vibrant energy.
And so they say it's auniversal herb that substitutes for
any other herb.
Okay, that's good to know.
So that's why it's great.
You have to almost grow itlike a cactus or a succulent.
(27:26):
Well, I live in Arizona, so Iknow so.
But it might be so hot whereyou are.
Well, I have it in the Shadeby my front door.
Because I know you're supposedto keep rosemary outside your front
door for protection and toshield yourself from negative energies
(27:48):
and dark energies.
So I'm a big fan of rosemaryand it tastes amazing.
Obviously, during theholidays, if you incorporate it into
your food and your cooking,can it work still in that same way?
Exactly.
That's kitchen witchery.
It's exactly the same.
Okay.
But you know, things, plantingthe things in your yard.
(28:10):
I do have my rosemary.
And then a very wise womantold me, you need to have rue out
there.
And she brought me cuttings of rue.
And root acts similarly.
And it's also.
It requires very little water.
And so I have rubbishes out there.
And then, of course, my.
(28:31):
My famous wormwood.
I can't live without my wormwood.
And my son was house sittingand he said, do you know when you
water the front yard, youryard smells so good?
You know, he just loved.
You know, when you water, youget everything.
You can just smell it.
And it was interesting becausea couple of my root died, and the
(28:53):
lady who gave them to me, shesaid they took a hit for you.
Said they're so protective,they will die to absorb that negative
energy.
So she's taught me I've gotsome rooting right now since 2025
is going to be such achallenging year.
Yeah.
And putting more roux outfront, she said, you need to replace
(29:14):
your roux.
So I'm working on that.
I'm, you know, I'm rooting rue.
Is that.
Is that rue?
Rue.
And it's one of the mostprotective herbs.
It's very traditional.
When I met her, we were at apsychic fair and we were talking
protection, and I kind oflaughed and I reached in my pocket
(29:35):
and I pulled out my rosemarythat I had a sprig of fresh rosemary
in my pocket.
And then she laughs in herpocket and pulled out some rue.
It was so funny.
Then I pulled out my necklace.
She pulled out her necklace.
We looked at each other, andit turns out we were born on the
same day.
Wow.
(29:55):
Meant to be the same year.
And we have the same number ofchildren, two boys and two girls.
It was just one of thosekismet moments.
Right.
Wow.
And she's from a different tradition.
A different tradition.
So she was teaching me whatshe knew and I was sharing with her
what I knew.
So that's how I learned to use rue.
(30:16):
And rue is really potent.
You need to be careful if youwork with rue because it does have
a substance, you know, whenyou pick it and it's green and it
can irritate your skin.
So she's like, I'll see yourrosemary and I'll raise you some
roux.
Oh my God.
You know what?
Exactly.
(30:37):
She was so sweet.
She looked at my rosemary andit was like, because she came over,
we did some work together andit was like, I don't know about that.
You know, that's funny.
Yeah.
The Hispanic tradition is veryrich in California with the healers
and then the much.
(30:59):
Yeah, yeah.
You have to be careful.
You have to be careful of that though.
They tread on the darksometimes because they're like Afro
Cuban roots in how they practice.
I, I, I do know that I, youknow, but it's, it was an interest.
It's an interesting experience.
It is true.
She, she does tend moretowards a kind of a controlling kind
(31:22):
of a magic.
Yes.
Or I what we do a little more voodoo.
It's a little more voodoo andsometimes animal rituals are involved.
So it's just like, it's a little.
Cow tongue and cow tongues runinto money.
I think I'm going to avoid thecow tongue just the same.
(31:45):
But I think what we do, ratherthan try to change other people,
I think the beauty of ourapproach is we change ourselves and
that's what we really can do.
I was saying that more for the listeners.
So they know if they go tosomebody that practices more in Santeria,
(32:05):
it's going to have a darkertone than say what you do.
That's more of white lightand, and more of herbology in that
sense.
And it's not that they don'tbelieve in it, it's just they have
all these other things thatinvolve chickens and such that can
be done.
They're a little bit more intothe curses, I'd say.
(32:25):
Well, I think though, there'sa lot more and I think it's possible
to over protect and over tryto over control your surroundings.
Yeah, no, I, I would agreewith that.
I will say for people goinginto 2025 with your children, even
if they're little, like 4 or 5years old and they're in a bubble
bath, if anything bothers themin life, like they have a bad day,
(32:50):
somebody pushed them, orsomebody called them a name when
they're in their bath andthey're just about done, say, I want
you to think of everythingthat bothers you right now and I
want you to visualize it goingdown that drain away from you.
And I want you to say down thedrain away from me three times and
we'll pull the cord or the plug.
(33:12):
And it will leave yourpresence and your space.
And to show them how to dothis so they feel like they have
a little bit of power in theirlife and they don't feel so vulnerable
that they do have a way to beable to get rid of things that bother
(33:33):
them.
So they don't keep it bottledup and hurt themselves.
By collecting moments thatinjure their soul, they're able to
send it away from them.
So I just wanted to say that Idon't think there's an age that's
too young to do visualizationtechniques like that in letting go
(33:53):
of things that bother you orhurt you.
Do you have an opinion on agefor doing an intention setting here?
I honestly think as young as 5or 6 years old.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's.
It.
It gives.
Go ahead.
I just wrote a crystal bookfor children that's on my site.
(34:14):
Oh, and there's a book thatyou can download.
I think it's $3.
And then you can actuallyorder it.
And it comes with the stonesin the book.
And I like it because it's.
It doesn't just tell you aboutthe stones.
It talks to them about how youcan use crystals.
And then it has like rosequartz for making new friends.
(34:39):
And it tells them how tovisualize and meditate and hold the
stone.
And I'm trying to rememberwhat other ones it has but.
And it does have something forprotection in there too.
Watch out for the animal lover children.
They figure out what stone tohold and they're like I want a puppy.
And like your house is full of pets.
(34:59):
Because they set theirintentions on animals the whole time.
I love it.
Are the ones that attract allthese cats.
But the book is really helpful.
I think I've gotten goodfeedback from people who have bought
it.
I've sold a bunch of copiesright before the holidays and then
(35:21):
I've used it with my.
And then one of the ones Idon't talk about much.
Little Layla up in the BayArea and she just loves working with
crystals and that she.
But she kept saying what do Ido with them?
You know.
And so that book really gother started.
So I think if you'reinterested and someone in another
(35:43):
country said, well, can youmake it into an ebook so I can just
download it?
But it's really nice if youorder the book with the crystal set.
And then I always put asurprise crystal in there too.
Oh, I love that.
Do with it.
When you order from my sitewhenever possible, if you buy a crystal
or an herb, I try to send.
(36:03):
I now have informative papersto help.
You know, various ways to, touse that.
I love that.
That's great.
But children are just so open.
So are you seeing.
Can adults order your littlecrystal book?
Will it help us to learn aboutcrystals as well?
Yes, it will.
(36:23):
My.
My son's wife, the heart, shesaid, I need this too, you know,
because she's just gettinginterested through me and through
the children.
And it's, it's helpful foreverybody because you, you not only
get the stones, but it, itreally has.
I call them in their little spells.
Yeah.
That you can use.
(36:44):
And they're very simple.
And like you said, I try tooffer crystals that aren't expensive.
They're fairly common.
If a crystal is expensive,that doesn't mean that it has more
energy or special powers.
Right.
Except for maybe Moldavite,which I do not recommend for 2025,
(37:04):
probably, because that really should.
What does Moldavite do?
Moldavite moves all the blocksout of your way.
Moldavite bulldozes you through.
In fact, for some reason,maybe because I'm in Aries, I'm a
little addicted to Moldavite.
Other people find it's toomuch energy for them and it's kind
(37:27):
of humorous.
And they say I can't even wearit before bedtime.
And I'm thinking, geez, I cansleep with Moldavite on.
Moldavite necklace and acouple of rings on.
But Moldavite really blowsthrough those blockages.
It's a very high vibrationbecause Moldavite is an asteroid
(37:50):
or a meteorite that crashed in Czechoslovakia.
And it's actually not a crystal.
It's called a techie.
It's like glass, and it formedthis molten glass.
And so it's got this very highvibrational energy to it.
Do you have jewelry on yourwebsite or do you just have the crystals?
I have a lot of jewelry on my website.
(38:12):
Most people like working withcrystals in the form of jewelry.
And like you're saying it as a gift.
Well, and yeah, and I, I.
And I love the braceletsbecause they're up against your skin,
the stone up against youractual skin.
But yeah, and a lot of thespells, I actually have listed some
(38:35):
too, where you can attachattentions to a crystal, you know,
set your intention, create atalisman to draw something towards
you.
Yeah.
And I actually put littlespells up.
If somebody wants that, I cantell them how to do that as well.
Don't you have like a carprotection spell in crystal or something
(38:56):
on your website?
I think that's so cool.
I hear the girl.
I.
I hear your girls have them.
Yes.
You sent them for the girls.
Either you sent them or Ibought them.
I don't know which because itwas a while ago.
Said she had one in her car.
Yes, and for their protectionand God knows Aurora needs it.
(39:18):
So what was the we should sayother one.
I know, yeah.
She would need a car made outof whatever stone that is.
She learned to drive in LA andit's not good.
Oh my.
Well, she could be a gooddriver then.
She's had the practice.
Yeah.
I'll tell you that storyanother time as to why she's such
a terrible driver.
(39:38):
Be careful of which instructoryou hire to teach your child to drive.
Well, you know what, thosethings are popular sometimes people
don't want to buy all thedifferent herbs and mix them.
Yeah, you send them off toyour kid like with your kid when
they go to college.
You can get the little car set.
And then the other thing thatI've got, I'm starting to do more
(39:59):
of our spell kits and I've gottwo new ones, one for self transformation
and one for self kind ofactualization that I really think
are going to be blockbusterfor 2025.
And they use dragon's bloodand I include the dragon's blood
little incense stick with it.
I didn't.
(40:19):
I have.
I'll put those up on my site.
I put them, sent them out inpeople who Christmas stockings this
year.
Those were in their Christmasstockings that I made this year for
what a fabulous stocking.
I love that.
Oh my gosh.
Some of our dead universitystudents ordered those stockings.
Good, good.
That's fantastic.
(40:39):
Now I'll put those spell kitsup separately on the site and so
if people are interested,those spell kits with the dragon's
blood, those would beexcellent too for setting intentions
and you know, children reallyenjoy lighting just, just, just.
For, for the new, for the newviewers and listeners.
Dragon's blood is like sage onsteroids for, for cleansing bad energy,
(41:07):
negative energy.
Go ahead.
So transformative.
It is just so transformative.
But children like lightingthings as part of what they do.
Uh huh.
And so those would even begood for a child.
So for people in this nineyear, which is a year of endings,
I would say after the personmoves out or just moves out of your
(41:28):
life, smudge your house, sageit and then burn sweet grass.
You know, set your intentions.
That's you've got to clear theold energy out of your environment,
out of your space and getthem, get it out the Door.
And isn't there an Irishritual where you leave the front
door and the back door open sothe bad energy can move out and the
(41:49):
new energy can enter?
Yes.
There's a variety of differenttraditions with doors and windows.
Yeah, you know, I don't dothat, you know, because I.
I think the energy travels,but it symbolically.
Oh, so you're sending it toyour neighbor.
So you're.
(42:11):
You open the door and the window.
All of it is embodying in action.
Because I think people want todo energy work just in their heads,
you know, and say it loud, sayit proud.
Get out of your head.
Put it out.
Thank you.
And someone.
Someone was demeaning whatthey called folk magic.
(42:33):
This published author, and itwas really interesting because I
thought, she's making energy work.
So intellectualized.
And the truth is we have thisbounty of crystals and herbs and
all these energies around us.
We're children of the earth.
And by actually taking actionand embodying that intention makes
(42:55):
it that much more powerful.
And does she really want topiss off a bunch of witches?
I mean, that's kind of dumb.
I'm just saying.
I was just like, you know,each their own.
To each their own.
I.
I kind of got what she was saying.
I think there's a belief, likewith bay leaves, a lot of people
(43:17):
for 20, 25 or a new year willwrite what they want to manifest
on a bay leaf, and they willsimply burn the bay leaf and, you
know, doing it without settingand visualizing a real intention.
Right.
Which is nothing.
(43:37):
And.
And it's true.
I got what she was saying.
People come to me all the time.
I burned a bay leaf.
I asked for a million dollars.
I didn't get it.
The amount of people that wantto set intentions for.
To win the lottery, it's like,just stop.
Just stop.
You're supposed to have avision that you put energy in to
create something in this newin that's new in the world.
(43:58):
And these properties will helpyou manifest those intentions that
you set in your vision.
Your new business or, youknow, the home that you want to attract
or love into your life orfriendships into your life.
Things that are.
That you can put energy in andbe a.
In the pro.
(44:18):
Part of the process.
Not lottery.
I put that on my website formy money potion.
I'm like, this will not workfor you.
For the lottery specifically,I'm like, that's a game of chance.
There's no energy to connect to.
It's not the same as settingan intention to something that you're
(44:38):
putting your energy into togive it life.
It's just not the same.
Oh, I love what you said.
There's nothing for yourenergy to attach to in this, and
that's one of the big reasonswe take the actions.
Right, Exactly.
So I.
(44:59):
With that energy of prosperityand abundance as we drink your.
Oh, my gosh, your delicious vodka.
So good.
People can't even imagine avodka being a tasting vodka, but
this is a tasting vodka.
When you come out, we'll haveto get.
Hook you up with a bottle ofDivination 22 to drive back with
you.
(45:19):
For sure.
I got a little taste of it atSedona summer camp, and we can't
order it, unfortunately, youwere the first.
People to try it.
Well, unfortunately, the bigcompanies have a monopoly on the
online ordering, so we can'tsell it that way.
They keep control of that.
(45:40):
I've learned so much about theliquor industry.
It's.
It's at One Handsome Bastardin Old Town Scottsdale, which is
my distillery, but it's also arestaurant bar run by Trish and her
daughter Bren.
So I was attracted to thatplace by the name of it and the energy
of it.
And then it just turned outthat a mom and her daughter run it
(46:00):
and do the distilling, which I loved.
And so they've got all my bigcrystals in the room around the vats
of vodka as they sort ofmarinate with the herbs and the properties
that I put in them, theingredients, and.
And so they sit with the crystals.
It amplifies them.
And then I bless it, and thenit's bottled and sent.
(46:23):
Sent out to the bars.
So that's kind of where we'reat right now.
It's very exciting, though.
Anything like it before, I'mthe first.
I'm pretty excited about it.
Thank you.
It's worth.
Arizona people.
Yes, I know.
They're so lucky.
It's right here, and they'vebeen buying a lot of it.
So it's a lot of.
(46:44):
A lot of people popping intoone handsome bastard.
But I've got the money potionand I have the love potion, and I'm
working on the resurrectionpotion, but the FDA doesn't approve
things like chrysanthemums.
And I'm like, okay, I can havechrysanthemum tea, but not chrysanthemum
(47:04):
that's dried.
So I don't get it that.
I don't understand that.
I don't either.
So it's.
It's.
I'm struggling with theresurrection Vodka to Help thin the
veil so you can communicatewith your deceased loved ones.
But that'll be the third one,but I got the first two out.
I'm very, very proud of thatvery 2024 of me to set my intentions
(47:26):
of.
Of manifesting my vision.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Wonderful.
I'm so happy, though, that available.
I can't wait to get bottle ormy own bottle.
I had to share.
Like, there was two bottles,and I think we all shared just a
little taste.
You guys were my.
(47:47):
My little guinea pigs thatnight, and I just needed your feedback.
So you were my focus group tosee how the flavor would be received,
and I really appreciated that.
So you and my.
Bottles, though, right?
I know you guys had a realgood time.
(48:09):
Yeah, that was fun.
So where can people find moreinformation about you, your or book
an appointment for a tarotreading with you?
Oh, that would be great.
Moving into 2025.
Yes, I think so, too.
And you also can help themwith intention.
Intention setting, or even spells.
(48:32):
I had a friend that went toyou for a spell for a co worker,
and that co worker leftpermanently the next day from the
company.
So you definitely know whatyou're doing.
And my friend was thrilled.
Out light.
We're just beaming out light.
So if people might need you tohelp them to set their intentions,
(48:56):
they can go to grannymagic.com to.
To get a hold of you and.
Or they can find you atInstagram at Granny Magic.
Margaret Jamison.
Yes.
Okay, so.
And I follow you and look forthe blue check.
I.
I now have a blue checkbecause it was so confusing for people.
(49:18):
Yes, me too, Actually, onprinciple, I wouldn't buy it because
I'm like, I've written six books.
I have a television show.
You guys are bs.
Like, it was so ridiculous.
And then I was sitting in myoffice one day and I got a ding on
my phone, and it said, youknow, basically, you've been approved
(49:40):
and you're verified.
And I went, Sophia.
Like that.
And she was like, yeah, Mom.
I was like, did you pay toverify me?
And she said, yeah.
She's like, please don't kill me.
I was.
She's like, people just werehaving trouble.
Everybody in North America, Ithink, yeah.
And now everybody has to payfor the blue check mark, even if
(50:02):
you were verified beforehand.
I haven't had that on myFacebook fan page, though.
I'm verified on it, but I.
I don't have to pay for itthere or on Twitter, which is now
X.
I think maybe I do on X.
Do I have I'll have to lookinto that.
I don't go on there that much.
I didn't go.
I didn't go on there much whenit was Twitter.
(50:22):
It's just so hard to juggleall the social media sites.
I just do Facebook and Insta,and for me, that's all I can handle.
Isn't it funny how differentthe tone is between people on Facebook
and people on Instagram?
Oh, my gosh.
It's night and day, isn't it?
Like, the people.
People on Instagram are alittle bit more bubbly and lively
(50:45):
and on Facebook, a little bit more.
More negative Nelly about things.
And I'm just like.
I'm like.
It's just a post.
Okay, well, a subscribersgroup on Instagram and I have a subscribers
group now on Facebook.
Those groups are like nightand day.
Yeah, I bet they are.
(51:06):
I mean, it's fascinating.
And then someone left onegroup to go to the Instagram group.
I'm sure.
No, I get it.
I totally get that.
So, so do you.
Do you share tips with themwhen they subscribe to you for that
you.
You interact?
We do.
We.
(51:27):
We have a live chat channelwhere we all communicate with each
other similar to the deaduniversity students.
And then we have.
I do special videos for themand give them different kinds of
feedback.
And then every month they getsome kind of a feedback freebie or
a major discount from my shop.
I love that.
(51:47):
I love that.
So go to Instagram and subscribe.
And it's $5 a month.
That's great.
Some of the dead universitystudents are on there.
Other people as well.
So it's a lively little group.
My students love you players.
Right now.
Developing the Claires.
What are the different Claires?
Okay.
(52:08):
Getting people excited about that.
Good.
I do rituals for them where ifsometimes it gives people a little
more confidence to see someoneactually perform a ritual.
Yes.
Yeah.
And then some actually watchit and perform along with me, you
know, because then they feelthey've got somebody there.
(52:29):
And we're working our way upto possibly doing some live moon
rituals together.
Cool.
I love that idea.
We've got the new moon inCapricorn coming up.
My little coven.
I have my little coven on Instagram.
My little subscriber.
I love that.
Well, they're lucky to have you.
So thank you for helping toPrepare us for 2025.

Scottsdale to set yourintentions for 2025.
Well, Margaret, welcome back.
(01:11):
Oh, thank you.
Getting ready for the new year.
I know.
I think a lot of people arerelieved to be exiting 2024 because
that year of transformation,the eight year, was no joke.
It was a little painful, butit was meant to be.
And we don't get another eightyear for nine more years.
(01:33):
So we want to really enjoythis last bit of it.
But by the time this airs, itwill be 2025 and people will be starting
into the nine year, the yearof endings that end things that no
longer serve you.
So I thought it would be greatto have you here today to talk to
us about some of the ritualsyou're practicing to prepare for
(01:57):
the new year.
So we can do that as well.
Well, it is a big one.
We're ushering in Chineseastrology, the year of the dragon
out.
And actually you're going tofind this interesting.
In Chinese astrology, this isthe year of the snake.
But not only the snake, thewood snake.
(02:18):
The last time the element woodlined up with the snake was 1965.
Oh, wow.
And it just sounds like it'sso in alignment with Tom McMullen's
predictions for everythingthat ahead.
I just, I thought I have to.
Add that in the Vietnam War, Ithink is what started around that.
(02:40):
It's going to be aninteresting year in 2025.
And like you said, it's goingto be a year of real spiritual growth,
but full of transitions.
We're going to have to be veryopen to releasing, letting go Being
open to change, adapting, lotsof closure.
(03:06):
And of course, it's not onlythings we're releasing, but people
around us are also releasing things.
So it's going to be quite aheady mix, you know.
And so a lot of what we'regoing to be doing going into 2025
is to really be serious aboutour intentions.
(03:26):
What are we open to releasing?
Really focusing, especiallythis year, more on the releasing
and setting intentions forpersonal growth, transformation,
getting ready to move forward.
It's a year where we're goingto need a tremendous amount of grounding.
(03:49):
Yeah.
So out of the things that I'mdoing to move forward are all around
cleansing my home and gettingready to put more grounding energies,
you know, into my practice.
I'm in Aries, so I'm going toneed a lot of grounding this year.
(04:10):
So one of the things that I'mdoing as the new year comes in is
I'm doing a grounding floor wash.
So I'm taking.
You take about a gallon ofwater and you add a cup of vinegar
in there and you add in somelemon, patchouli, rosemary, cedar,
(04:39):
those kinds of grounding herbs.
And with the intention ofclearing out anything negative, especially
stagnant, holding you back andopening up the space to renewal and
mopping the floor with that isone of the things that really helps
(05:01):
a lot of people on the 1stalready wash their front doors, you
know, do a cleansing on theirfront doors and set intentions for
prosperity entering theirhouse in the new year, or they do
it monthly for the new month.
But this year adding some ofthose grounding herbs in, even a
little eucalyptus maybe, andreally washing that front door down,
(05:26):
because you're going to need alittle bit of protection also.
What comes through that frontdoor this year.
Yeah.
So kind of, you know, thoselittle cleansings that we do, not
just the smudging work, butalso really cleaning the clutter
out.
Do you make spray bottles withvinegar, water, lemon patchouli and
(05:47):
rosemary?
Do you know what I am making?
I'm gonna post those recipesand anybody is interested, they can
message me and I will sendthem the floor wash recipe.
And then there's a floor sweeprecipe that you can also use.
And what I'm making in my shopis I'm making a grounding oil for
(06:09):
2025, because I think we'reall going to need that this year.
Yes.
And full of herbs to reallypromote clarity of thought, you know,
for that, that intention, thatgrounding to give us the stability
to get through all of that andthen as herbs and oils for spiritual
(06:30):
growth and transformation.
And so those oils will be inmy shop.
And the other thing that I ammaking is a grounding wash with the
Epsom salt, Himalayan salt,and the different herbs to really
go into 2025 and ground that energy.
(06:53):
So those are going to be mytwo products for 2025.
And like I said, I will postrecipes, the recipes or sweep recipes.
And if people aren't hooked upon Instagram or Facebook, if they.
If they message me, I'll.
I'll send them the recipes.
Okay.
So they DM you and you sendthem the recipes.
(07:14):
And then grannymagic.com isthat information there as well on
the website, or are you justdoing it through Instagram?
I don't have it posted,actually on my website, but I have
it on my social media and evenin my shop if they send me a message
through chat.
Okay, okay, that's great.
So, yeah, I know people aregoing to want to do that.
(07:36):
I really think this year isthe year to do that.
And when we're setting ourintentions this year, one of the
things that's really, reallyhelpful is to think in terms of cleansing.
And so an easy thing to do isto take a bowl of water and just
put a little salt in there.
(07:58):
And then if you have a little.
A little sprig of rosemary orcedar or something evergreen.
And as you write what you wantto release, you know, really it's
about focusing the energy andthe intention.
And if you have a red pen, ithelps to write it in red ink.
(08:19):
Right.
That's the message of stop.
And you can fold that up andrelease it, Put it into the water,
and then take your littlesprig into the cleansing water and
just say, I cleanse this space.
I free myself from anythingholding me back.
2025 is my year, a year of transformation.
(08:45):
I think it's.
I think it's going to bereally important in 2025 for people
to be okay with adapting,because a lot of.
A lot of people don't like to adapt.
They'll try and force anagenda or run an agenda.
If there's a relationship thatdoesn't work out for them, it's not
(09:05):
working out for them.
The other person doesn't wantto be in the relationship anymore.
If you try and fight to keepthat relationship, it will not serve
your.
Your highest and good.
So, oh, it'll be a year of trauma.
Yeah.
And it won't prepare you forthe next year, 2026, where we're
going back to a fresh start.
A one year.
(09:25):
A one year, yes.
Well, you know, I pulled thetarot cards real quick, and the Tarot
card for this 20, 25 is thehermit card.
And so it really is aboutbeing comfortable with being alone,
looking out for your ownauthenticity, your own, you know,
(09:47):
best self interest, your ownspiritual transformation, and having
the courage to move forwardwith that.
Even a belief in oneself whereyou don't need other people to validate
who you are or your importanceor your.
You're capable of, you know,doing the great things that you want
(10:09):
to do.
You don't need other peoplecheerleading you on in order to accomplish
that.
So the hermit cards really.
Be secure in yourself.
Yes.
Okay.
Self authenticity and alignment.
Because the real secret is tobe in alignment with your purpose
(10:30):
and the universe's path for you.
And that's what magic's all about.
It's aligning with that energyfor your higher self.
Yeah.
I find a lot of my clientsright now, the whole year has been
people wanting to know aboutcareer relationships.
A lot of people having outrelationships outside of marriages
(10:52):
that I've been counseling andtrying to find that balance where
I'm like, you need to pull thetrigger on this.
It's time, you know, set them free.
Let them find somebody thatwill love.
Them, you know, and do whatyou need to do.
Well, the other cards, ninesare, it's interesting, the.
(11:13):
The wounded healer, I call itthe nine of wands.
And that, that's all aboutstepping forward, but protecting
yourself.
You notice he's protecting himself.
He's got the wands in theback, but he's fearlessly facing
forward.
He's ready to move on.
(11:33):
He's ready to heal.
So it's like healing old wounds.
Don't overthink it, you know,don't overthink it.
You know what to do in yourgut, your intuitive wisdom, let the
universe lead you forward.
You know, it's time to stop procrastinating.
(11:54):
It just ties your energy and knots.
And then the other one is thisnine of pentacles, which, you know,
she's alone, but you'll noticeit's a very sensual card.
You know, she's happy.
Yeah.
Indulging ourselves a littlebit, not being afraid to enjoy.
(12:15):
There's nothing wrong withpleasure and enjoying the things
that this life has to offer us.
And I think self care is goingto be important for us this year
as we go through all of this.
And then this speaks to whatyou and I see in our readings a lot
with clients.
The nine of Cups, you Knowwhat gets great about who you want
(12:37):
in your life?
Who are you inviting into that feast?
You have all that to offer.
All those cups are emotions,all the good things in your life.
You have so much to offer, butyou're the host.
You decide who you invite inand who doesn't belong.
I like.
And so I.
(12:58):
The nine cards are alwayschallenging in a reading, and this
being a nine year, you know,but I think even when we give people
a reading, there's a certainamount of denial sometimes about
moving forward.
There's a lot of.
I was happy to do.
Was happy to do a readingyesterday and I.
(13:20):
I got the first name of theboyfriend and was pulling impressions
and writing the impressions.
I was getting connected to him.
And it was one of those timeswhere I'm like, he wants to buy a
house, he wants to settle down.
He's looking at marriage.
And she was like, you know?
And it just felt good to beable to tell somebody that, because
I've been dealing with thiswhole year of people leaving relationships,
(13:45):
friends being seen for whothey truly are and not really being
friends at all and then leaving.
I just want people out thereknowing that if they feel like the
bottom, the floors dropped outfrom under them.
This is the energy right now.
The universe tried to give ushints over the years that certain
(14:09):
things didn't serve us.
And for the people who didn'tact on it or didn't intuitive pick
up on that energy, they'rebeing forced out of the situation
that they're in by the universe.
And when you're forced, itfeels a little bit more unsettling,
but it's okay.
(14:30):
But recognize it and don't seeit as another challenge or fight
where you need to fightagainst the universe, because that
doesn't usually work out well for.
People, especially this year.
This year, really, this is ayear to ground yourself and to go
with that flow.
What the universe has in mindfor you is so much better than what
(14:52):
you're clinging to.
But I think you're right.
Especially in relationships,people do want to cling, right?
Right.
Well, they're afraid of being alone.
People are more afraid ofbeing alone than most anything else
I ever see.
It's the having to look atthemselves in the mirror and not
have a distraction of beingable to focus on that other person
(15:15):
and trying to fix their lifeor focus on them, but you're forced
to focus on yourself.
And I think that's why peopleare afraid to be alone.
You should never be afraid tobe alone.
You make your friends yourFamily, maybe you get a cool pet
that, you know, you get toenjoy their company, redecorate your
home, get a new job, write abook, do something that is coming
(15:39):
from within you and let theenergy flow back into you rather
than you giving it out toeveryone else around you.
Oh, agreed, agreed.
And I think that process oftransformation, when you open up
to it, the universe reallyneed you.
(16:01):
One of the things that will bevery valuable going into 2025 is
that shadow work that we talkabout so much that it's not just
always light and love.
Sometimes we need to go deep.
And so one of the things Ihave in the shop this year is, I
just got in, are some shadowwork journals.
(16:23):
I've been waiting.
People have been asking forthem, and I waited until I found
some that I really liked.
And so I have those.
And I think if you're feelinglike 2025 is going to be a big year
for you, get started right away.
You know, looking at things inyour past, what might be holding
(16:43):
you back.
You know, exploring thosethings and doing a lot of meditation.
So those books walk peoplethrough the steps of what you need
to do to let go of sort of thegray areas in your life.
Is that right?
I'm sorry, you went out on mefor just a minute.
(17:05):
Yeah.
It's been going in and out theentire time we've been recording,
so I guess repeat.
So the book that you speak ofon shadow work walks you through
the steps of what it takes toremove the gray areas from your life.
Things of the past, woundstied to the past, old relationship
(17:26):
and baggage.
It walks you through it very much.
It walks you through it.
It has meditation exercises,spaces even to draw questions.
I looked through it and it'sone of the best ones that I have
found because it has differentmodalities to it.
But I think being open toreally like you're saying, look at
(17:47):
yourself.
We can only change ourselves.
Yeah.
And once we.
In alignment with ourauthenticity and we can really answer
what the universe has and iscalling us to, we attract to us the
right people.
We attract to us like energy.
So what you're putting outinto the universe are the same energies
(18:11):
you're going to receive back.
So people need to understandthat if you make zero effort to know
people, you lack loyalty.
You're not there for friends,for things that are important to
them, but you expect them tobe there when it's important to you.
Then you're half a person,you're not functioning, and you're
not going to draw in Peoplewho you want in your life because
(18:35):
you're not actually being thekind of person you think you are
or being the kind of personthat you'd like to be.
So people working on being theperson that they really, really want
to be and what they're puttingout into the universe needs to be
focused on in 2025.
(18:55):
And you'll draw in many giftsand people that are like energy,
like the energy you want to be.
So raise your vibration.
Exactly, exactly.
And so I think we'll see a lotin 2025 if we're open to letting
things shift and change, willbe able to step forward and attract
(19:19):
into our lives what it iswe're really wanting.
And, you know, to be thatauthentic, even if, you know, I think
of the.
I love this card, the courageof the wounded healer, in a sense.
But if the person.
So they'll be presented theopportunity to be courageous and
to heal their wounds, but ifthey don't embrace that part of themselves,
(19:43):
then they don't move forward.
So I love that the cards areshowing us what energy is there for
us, where the focus should be.
But people, we have to do thework ourselves.
It's not going to fix it for you.
We have to be a work inprogress at all times.
Yeah, Very, very much.
And even the grounding, youknow, the grounding tools, the crystals,
(20:08):
you know, the hematite I find.
Isn't obsidian like.
Hematite, like that very blackstone that grounds you.
I.
I like those.
You.
Obsidian actually is like ashield against negative energy.
Well, see, I went right for obsidian.
That's what.
That's what I have.
I wanted the shield.
(20:29):
I wanted the full enchilada,like, and.
Then smokey quartz is reallygood for transitions.
It's also good for spiritualprotection, I found because I took
a smoky quartz and I wore thering into a nail salon, which I'm
normally.
It's kind of annoying to go tothe salon now.
You know, people have atoddler on their knee.
(20:51):
It's like, it's a salon.
Have your sister watch them.
It's not relaxing.
It's not relaxing.
And I wore this ring one dayjust to test it out.
And it was the most peacefulexperience I've ever had in a salon.
So I will be continuing that obsessed.
Looking for is wonderful.
(21:11):
Yes.
You know, and the surprisingones that give you, though, the confidence
and the energy for this year.
Red Jasper for 2025.
Like, one of my favorites,Tiger's eye.
You know, that it gives you that.
It's protective.
But it also confident success.
And then bloodstone, thatvitality, that strength.
(21:34):
The crystals will help.
You know, the grounding bathswill help.
The grounding oil will help.
But you're the one that has tobe open to the energies.
Right, Right.
And being able to moveforward, they just calm you down
a little bit and put you in aplace where you can make those.
(21:55):
They help you to adjust yourenergy forward.
Mm, yeah.
So happy to adjust their energy.
They're wonderful.
I think it's gonna be a reallyinteresting year for people.
I'm excited when I think ofthe snake and the wood snake, that
imagery of shedding that skin,you know, and snakes are supposedly
(22:19):
full of wisdom in Chinese culture.
And venom.
Yeah, yeah.
They are protective, you know,and I think there are times we need
to protect ourselves and notfeel guilty.
Especially this year, youknow, say no when you need to say
no.
(22:39):
And I.
I just want to say to people,the stones that you.
The crystals that you justnamed are not expensive stones.
They're not expensive crystals.
If there's somebody you lovethat has a birthday coming up or
just.
It's a nice thing to do, getthem one of these stones that will
help them through these timesand put it on a pendant.
(22:59):
That's why I wear the redstonethat I wear.
It's supposed to open my heartup, and that helps me to process
emotion and empathy.
So it's such a great gift togive, especially to a Capricorn for
those Capricorn birthdays, aswe're in Capricorn season, because
it's of the Earth, they wouldlove it.
(23:23):
So do you know, do you have acrystal site that you frequent or
that you like and trust, or doyou have them on your site?
Well, these crystals I have onmy site.
Great.
These are common.
There are a lot of crystalshops online also.
I prefer my shop.
(23:44):
And to go in person, I dothink you need to be a little bit
careful when you crystal shop.
I think going in person, youreally feel the energy, and sometimes
you just feel drawn to aparticular crystal.
And if you ask about themeaning and the energy, suddenly
you understand why, right?
No, I totally agree.
(24:05):
You could tell by the feelingof the.
The crystal itself.
So when people are settingintentions, what can young people
do?
Get getting ready for thebrand new year?
Because I.
I believe in incorporatingsome of these methods with your children
to shield them, to help themprocess energy, and to learn that
(24:27):
at a young age so as they getolder, they don't feel so cast out
into the world and withoutprotection, but rather they know
the things that they can do tocenter themselves.
Well, you know, one of thethings that I.
I've done with mygrandchildren is setting intentions
(24:50):
for the new year.
And we.
We do a little ritual and we focus.
You know, we light the candle,we meditate on the energy.
We kind of raise the energy inthe candle from the flame.
And I have them write downwhat their intentions were for the
new year.
And then we went outside andwe planted what at the time was a
(25:13):
little rosemary bush.
And then since then, we'veplanted little pine trees.
And usually it's some kind ofan evergreen that's going to be hardy.
And then they love it,especially the rosemary, because
it's right by my front door.
And so every time they come,they see that thing is like 5ft off
(25:37):
the ground.
Now it's this enormous uprightrosemary bush.
Do you have any tips for usmediums that kill things?
We don't mean to, but we havea black thumb.
I've killed more rosemarybushes by my front door.
What do we do?
We have to become a friendwith a hedge witch or something?
Because I cannot keep anyplant alive.
(25:59):
Rosemary is one of the easiest.
That's why I always recommend it.
But I think people over waterrosemary, okay.
Because rosemary actually is aMediterranean plant, and it grows
best in sort of sandy soil.
It needs a lot of drainage.
And so that's one of thereasons it does well for me.
(26:19):
So it's not good by our door.
In a pot.
In a pot.
Dan over waters it.
I can't keep the log only inthe ground.
Okay.
That makes me feel better.
He babies them.
He over waters them.
But that's, I think, rosemary.
The trick is it thrives on neglect.
(26:42):
Oh, oh.
And so what right now?
And I'm going to do a littlevideo on it, too.
Someone asked me to do it.
I'm rooting rosemary and I'mgoing to plant more because it just
does so well here, and I use it.
Rosemary is a universal herb.
You can substitute it for anyother herb in a working.
(27:02):
It's kind of amazing.
Its energy is such.
It can be protective.
It can bring in prosperity.
It can.
It's just this very vibrant energy.
And so they say it's auniversal herb that substitutes for
any other herb.
Okay, that's good to know.
So that's why it's great.
You have to almost grow itlike a cactus or a succulent.
(27:26):
Well, I live in Arizona, so Iknow so.
But it might be so hot whereyou are.
Well, I have it in the Shadeby my front door.
Because I know you're supposedto keep rosemary outside your front
door for protection and toshield yourself from negative energies
(27:48):
and dark energies.
So I'm a big fan of rosemaryand it tastes amazing.
Obviously, during theholidays, if you incorporate it into
your food and your cooking,can it work still in that same way?
Exactly.
That's kitchen witchery.
It's exactly the same.
Okay.
But you know, things, plantingthe things in your yard.
(28:10):
I do have my rosemary.
And then a very wise womantold me, you need to have rue out
there.
And she brought me cuttings of rue.
And root acts similarly.
And it's also.
It requires very little water.
And so I have rubbishes out there.
And then, of course, my.
(28:31):
My famous wormwood.
I can't live without my wormwood.
And my son was house sittingand he said, do you know when you
water the front yard, youryard smells so good?
You know, he just loved.
You know, when you water, youget everything.
You can just smell it.
And it was interesting becausea couple of my root died, and the
(28:53):
lady who gave them to me, shesaid they took a hit for you.
Said they're so protective,they will die to absorb that negative
energy.
So she's taught me I've gotsome rooting right now since 2025
is going to be such achallenging year.
Yeah.
And putting more roux outfront, she said, you need to replace
(29:14):
your roux.
So I'm working on that.
I'm, you know, I'm rooting rue.
Is that.
Is that rue?
Rue.
And it's one of the mostprotective herbs.
It's very traditional.
When I met her, we were at apsychic fair and we were talking
protection, and I kind oflaughed and I reached in my pocket
(29:35):
and I pulled out my rosemarythat I had a sprig of fresh rosemary
in my pocket.
And then she laughs in herpocket and pulled out some rue.
It was so funny.
Then I pulled out my necklace.
She pulled out her necklace.
We looked at each other, andit turns out we were born on the
same day.
Wow.
(29:55):
Meant to be the same year.
And we have the same number ofchildren, two boys and two girls.
It was just one of thosekismet moments.
Right.
Wow.
And she's from a different tradition.
A different tradition.
So she was teaching me whatshe knew and I was sharing with her
what I knew.
So that's how I learned to use rue.
(30:16):
And rue is really potent.
You need to be careful if youwork with rue because it does have
a substance, you know, whenyou pick it and it's green and it
can irritate your skin.
So she's like, I'll see yourrosemary and I'll raise you some
roux.
Oh my God.
You know what?
Exactly.
(30:37):
She was so sweet.
She looked at my rosemary andit was like, because she came over,
we did some work together andit was like, I don't know about that.
You know, that's funny.
Yeah.
The Hispanic tradition is veryrich in California with the healers
and then the much.
(30:59):
Yeah, yeah.
You have to be careful.
You have to be careful of that though.
They tread on the darksometimes because they're like Afro
Cuban roots in how they practice.
I, I, I do know that I, youknow, but it's, it was an interest.
It's an interesting experience.
It is true.
She, she does tend moretowards a kind of a controlling kind
(31:22):
of a magic.
Yes.
Or I what we do a little more voodoo.
It's a little more voodoo andsometimes animal rituals are involved.
So it's just like, it's a little.
Cow tongue and cow tongues runinto money.
I think I'm going to avoid thecow tongue just the same.
(31:45):
But I think what we do, ratherthan try to change other people,
I think the beauty of ourapproach is we change ourselves and
that's what we really can do.
I was saying that more for the listeners.
So they know if they go tosomebody that practices more in Santeria,
(32:05):
it's going to have a darkertone than say what you do.
That's more of white lightand, and more of herbology in that
sense.
And it's not that they don'tbelieve in it, it's just they have
all these other things thatinvolve chickens and such that can
be done.
They're a little bit more intothe curses, I'd say.
(32:25):
Well, I think though, there'sa lot more and I think it's possible
to over protect and over tryto over control your surroundings.
Yeah, no, I, I would agreewith that.
I will say for people goinginto 2025 with your children, even
if they're little, like 4 or 5years old and they're in a bubble
bath, if anything bothers themin life, like they have a bad day,
(32:50):
somebody pushed them, orsomebody called them a name when
they're in their bath andthey're just about done, say, I want
you to think of everythingthat bothers you right now and I
want you to visualize it goingdown that drain away from you.
And I want you to say down thedrain away from me three times and
we'll pull the cord or the plug.
(33:12):
And it will leave yourpresence and your space.
And to show them how to dothis so they feel like they have
a little bit of power in theirlife and they don't feel so vulnerable
that they do have a way to beable to get rid of things that bother
(33:33):
them.
So they don't keep it bottledup and hurt themselves.
By collecting moments thatinjure their soul, they're able to
send it away from them.
So I just wanted to say that Idon't think there's an age that's
too young to do visualizationtechniques like that in letting go
(33:53):
of things that bother you orhurt you.
Do you have an opinion on agefor doing an intention setting here?
I honestly think as young as 5or 6 years old.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's.
It.
It gives.
Go ahead.
I just wrote a crystal bookfor children that's on my site.
(34:14):
Oh, and there's a book thatyou can download.
I think it's $3.
And then you can actuallyorder it.
And it comes with the stonesin the book.
And I like it because it's.
It doesn't just tell you aboutthe stones.
It talks to them about how youcan use crystals.
And then it has like rosequartz for making new friends.
(34:39):
And it tells them how tovisualize and meditate and hold the
stone.
And I'm trying to rememberwhat other ones it has but.
And it does have something forprotection in there too.
Watch out for the animal lover children.
They figure out what stone tohold and they're like I want a puppy.
And like your house is full of pets.
(34:59):
Because they set theirintentions on animals the whole time.
I love it.
Are the ones that attract allthese cats.
But the book is really helpful.
I think I've gotten goodfeedback from people who have bought
it.
I've sold a bunch of copiesright before the holidays and then
(35:21):
I've used it with my.
And then one of the ones Idon't talk about much.
Little Layla up in the BayArea and she just loves working with
crystals and that she.
But she kept saying what do Ido with them?
You know.
And so that book really gother started.
So I think if you'reinterested and someone in another
(35:43):
country said, well, can youmake it into an ebook so I can just
download it?
But it's really nice if youorder the book with the crystal set.
And then I always put asurprise crystal in there too.
Oh, I love that.
Do with it.
When you order from my sitewhenever possible, if you buy a crystal
or an herb, I try to send.
(36:03):
I now have informative papersto help.
You know, various ways to, touse that.
I love that.
That's great.
But children are just so open.
So are you seeing.
Can adults order your littlecrystal book?
Will it help us to learn aboutcrystals as well?
Yes, it will.
(36:23):
My.
My son's wife, the heart, shesaid, I need this too, you know,
because she's just gettinginterested through me and through
the children.
And it's, it's helpful foreverybody because you, you not only
get the stones, but it, itreally has.
I call them in their little spells.
Yeah.
That you can use.
(36:44):
And they're very simple.
And like you said, I try tooffer crystals that aren't expensive.
They're fairly common.
If a crystal is expensive,that doesn't mean that it has more
energy or special powers.
Right.
Except for maybe Moldavite,which I do not recommend for 2025,
(37:04):
probably, because that really should.
What does Moldavite do?
Moldavite moves all the blocksout of your way.
Moldavite bulldozes you through.
In fact, for some reason,maybe because I'm in Aries, I'm a
little addicted to Moldavite.
Other people find it's toomuch energy for them and it's kind
(37:27):
of humorous.
And they say I can't even wearit before bedtime.
And I'm thinking, geez, I cansleep with Moldavite on.
Moldavite necklace and acouple of rings on.
But Moldavite really blowsthrough those blockages.
It's a very high vibrationbecause Moldavite is an asteroid
(37:50):
or a meteorite that crashed in Czechoslovakia.
And it's actually not a crystal.
It's called a techie.
It's like glass, and it formedthis molten glass.
And so it's got this very highvibrational energy to it.
Do you have jewelry on yourwebsite or do you just have the crystals?
I have a lot of jewelry on my website.
(38:12):
Most people like working withcrystals in the form of jewelry.
And like you're saying it as a gift.
Well, and yeah, and I, I.
And I love the braceletsbecause they're up against your skin,
the stone up against youractual skin.
But yeah, and a lot of thespells, I actually have listed some
(38:35):
too, where you can attachattentions to a crystal, you know,
set your intention, create atalisman to draw something towards
you.
Yeah.
And I actually put littlespells up.
If somebody wants that, I cantell them how to do that as well.
Don't you have like a carprotection spell in crystal or something
(38:56):
on your website?
I think that's so cool.
I hear the girl.
I.
I hear your girls have them.
Yes.
You sent them for the girls.
Either you sent them or Ibought them.
I don't know which because itwas a while ago.
Said she had one in her car.
Yes, and for their protectionand God knows Aurora needs it.
(39:18):
So what was the we should sayother one.
I know, yeah.
She would need a car made outof whatever stone that is.
She learned to drive in LA andit's not good.
Oh my.
Well, she could be a gooddriver then.
She's had the practice.
Yeah.
I'll tell you that storyanother time as to why she's such
a terrible driver.
(39:38):
Be careful of which instructoryou hire to teach your child to drive.
Well, you know what, thosethings are popular sometimes people
don't want to buy all thedifferent herbs and mix them.
Yeah, you send them off toyour kid like with your kid when
they go to college.
You can get the little car set.
And then the other thing thatI've got, I'm starting to do more
(39:59):
of our spell kits and I've gottwo new ones, one for self transformation
and one for self kind ofactualization that I really think
are going to be blockbusterfor 2025.
And they use dragon's bloodand I include the dragon's blood
little incense stick with it.
I didn't.
(40:19):
I have.
I'll put those up on my site.
I put them, sent them out inpeople who Christmas stockings this
year.
Those were in their Christmasstockings that I made this year for
what a fabulous stocking.
I love that.
Oh my gosh.
Some of our dead universitystudents ordered those stockings.
Good, good.
That's fantastic.
(40:39):
Now I'll put those spell kitsup separately on the site and so
if people are interested,those spell kits with the dragon's
blood, those would beexcellent too for setting intentions
and you know, children reallyenjoy lighting just, just, just.
For, for the new, for the newviewers and listeners.
Dragon's blood is like sage onsteroids for, for cleansing bad energy,
(41:07):
negative energy.
Go ahead.
So transformative.
It is just so transformative.
But children like lightingthings as part of what they do.
Uh huh.
And so those would even begood for a child.
So for people in this nineyear, which is a year of endings,
I would say after the personmoves out or just moves out of your
(41:28):
life, smudge your house, sageit and then burn sweet grass.
You know, set your intentions.
That's you've got to clear theold energy out of your environment,
out of your space and getthem, get it out the Door.
And isn't there an Irishritual where you leave the front
door and the back door open sothe bad energy can move out and the
(41:49):
new energy can enter?
Yes.
There's a variety of differenttraditions with doors and windows.
Yeah, you know, I don't dothat, you know, because I.
I think the energy travels,but it symbolically.
Oh, so you're sending it toyour neighbor.
So you're.
(42:11):
You open the door and the window.
All of it is embodying in action.
Because I think people want todo energy work just in their heads,
you know, and say it loud, sayit proud.
Get out of your head.
Put it out.
Thank you.
And someone.
Someone was demeaning whatthey called folk magic.
(42:33):
This published author, and itwas really interesting because I
thought, she's making energy work.
So intellectualized.
And the truth is we have thisbounty of crystals and herbs and
all these energies around us.
We're children of the earth.
And by actually taking actionand embodying that intention makes
(42:55):
it that much more powerful.
And does she really want topiss off a bunch of witches?
I mean, that's kind of dumb.
I'm just saying.
I was just like, you know,each their own.
To each their own.
I.
I kind of got what she was saying.
I think there's a belief, likewith bay leaves, a lot of people
(43:17):
for 20, 25 or a new year willwrite what they want to manifest
on a bay leaf, and they willsimply burn the bay leaf and, you
know, doing it without settingand visualizing a real intention.
Right.
Which is nothing.
(43:37):
And.
And it's true.
I got what she was saying.
People come to me all the time.
I burned a bay leaf.
I asked for a million dollars.
I didn't get it.
The amount of people that wantto set intentions for.
To win the lottery, it's like,just stop.
Just stop.
You're supposed to have avision that you put energy in to
create something in this newin that's new in the world.
(43:58):
And these properties will helpyou manifest those intentions that
you set in your vision.
Your new business or, youknow, the home that you want to attract
or love into your life orfriendships into your life.
Things that are.
That you can put energy in andbe a.
In the pro.
(44:18):
Part of the process.
Not lottery.
I put that on my website formy money potion.
I'm like, this will not workfor you.
For the lottery specifically,I'm like, that's a game of chance.
There's no energy to connect to.
It's not the same as settingan intention to something that you're
(44:38):
putting your energy into togive it life.
It's just not the same.
Oh, I love what you said.
There's nothing for yourenergy to attach to in this, and
that's one of the big reasonswe take the actions.
Right, Exactly.
So I.
(44:59):
With that energy of prosperityand abundance as we drink your.
Oh, my gosh, your delicious vodka.
So good.
People can't even imagine avodka being a tasting vodka, but
this is a tasting vodka.
When you come out, we'll haveto get.
Hook you up with a bottle ofDivination 22 to drive back with
you.
(45:19):
For sure.
I got a little taste of it atSedona summer camp, and we can't
order it, unfortunately, youwere the first.
People to try it.
Well, unfortunately, the bigcompanies have a monopoly on the
online ordering, so we can'tsell it that way.
They keep control of that.
(45:40):
I've learned so much about theliquor industry.
It's.
It's at One Handsome Bastardin Old Town Scottsdale, which is
my distillery, but it's also arestaurant bar run by Trish and her
daughter Bren.
So I was attracted to thatplace by the name of it and the energy
of it.
And then it just turned outthat a mom and her daughter run it
(46:00):
and do the distilling, which I loved.
And so they've got all my bigcrystals in the room around the vats
of vodka as they sort ofmarinate with the herbs and the properties
that I put in them, theingredients, and.
And so they sit with the crystals.
It amplifies them.
And then I bless it, and thenit's bottled and sent.
(46:23):
Sent out to the bars.
So that's kind of where we'reat right now.
It's very exciting, though.
Anything like it before, I'mthe first.
I'm pretty excited about it.
Thank you.
It's worth.
Arizona people.
Yes, I know.
They're so lucky.
It's right here, and they'vebeen buying a lot of it.
So it's a lot of.
(46:44):
A lot of people popping intoone handsome bastard.
But I've got the money potionand I have the love potion, and I'm
working on the resurrectionpotion, but the FDA doesn't approve
things like chrysanthemums.
And I'm like, okay, I can havechrysanthemum tea, but not chrysanthemum
(47:04):
that's dried.
So I don't get it that.
I don't understand that.
I don't either.
So it's.
It's.
I'm struggling with theresurrection Vodka to Help thin the
veil so you can communicatewith your deceased loved ones.
But that'll be the third one,but I got the first two out.
I'm very, very proud of thatvery 2024 of me to set my intentions
(47:26):
of.
Of manifesting my vision.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Wonderful.
I'm so happy, though, that available.
I can't wait to get bottle ormy own bottle.
I had to share.
Like, there was two bottles,and I think we all shared just a
little taste.
You guys were my.
(47:47):
My little guinea pigs thatnight, and I just needed your feedback.
So you were my focus group tosee how the flavor would be received,
and I really appreciated that.
So you and my.
Bottles, though, right?
I know you guys had a realgood time.
(48:09):
Yeah, that was fun.
So where can people find moreinformation about you, your or book
an appointment for a tarotreading with you?
Oh, that would be great.
Moving into 2025.
Yes, I think so, too.
And you also can help themwith intention.
Intention setting, or even spells.
(48:32):
I had a friend that went toyou for a spell for a co worker,
and that co worker leftpermanently the next day from the
company.
So you definitely know whatyou're doing.
And my friend was thrilled.
Out light.
We're just beaming out light.
So if people might need you tohelp them to set their intentions,
(48:56):
they can go to grannymagic.com to.
To get a hold of you and.
Or they can find you atInstagram at Granny Magic.
Margaret Jamison.
Yes.
Okay, so.
And I follow you and look forthe blue check.
I.
I now have a blue checkbecause it was so confusing for people.
(49:18):
Yes, me too, Actually, onprinciple, I wouldn't buy it because
I'm like, I've written six books.
I have a television show.
You guys are bs.
Like, it was so ridiculous.
And then I was sitting in myoffice one day and I got a ding on
my phone, and it said, youknow, basically, you've been approved
(49:40):
and you're verified.
And I went, Sophia.
Like that.
And she was like, yeah, Mom.
I was like, did you pay toverify me?
And she said, yeah.
She's like, please don't kill me.
I was.
She's like, people just werehaving trouble.
Everybody in North America, Ithink, yeah.
And now everybody has to payfor the blue check mark, even if
(50:02):
you were verified beforehand.
I haven't had that on myFacebook fan page, though.
I'm verified on it, but I.
I don't have to pay for itthere or on Twitter, which is now
X.
I think maybe I do on X.
Do I have I'll have to lookinto that.
I don't go on there that much.
I didn't go.
I didn't go on there much whenit was Twitter.
(50:22):
It's just so hard to juggleall the social media sites.
I just do Facebook and Insta,and for me, that's all I can handle.
Isn't it funny how differentthe tone is between people on Facebook
and people on Instagram?
Oh, my gosh.
It's night and day, isn't it?
Like, the people.
People on Instagram are alittle bit more bubbly and lively
(50:45):
and on Facebook, a little bit more.
More negative Nelly about things.
And I'm just like.
I'm like.
It's just a post.
Okay, well, a subscribersgroup on Instagram and I have a subscribers
group now on Facebook.
Those groups are like nightand day.
Yeah, I bet they are.
(51:06):
I mean, it's fascinating.
And then someone left onegroup to go to the Instagram group.
I'm sure.
No, I get it.
I totally get that.
So, so do you.
Do you share tips with themwhen they subscribe to you for that
you.
You interact?
We do.
We.
(51:27):
We have a live chat channelwhere we all communicate with each
other similar to the deaduniversity students.
And then we have.
I do special videos for themand give them different kinds of
feedback.
And then every month they getsome kind of a feedback freebie or
a major discount from my shop.
I love that.
(51:47):
I love that.
So go to Instagram and subscribe.
And it's $5 a month.
That's great.
Some of the dead universitystudents are on there.
Other people as well.
So it's a lively little group.
My students love you players.
Right now.
Developing the Claires.
What are the different Claires?
Okay.
(52:08):
Getting people excited about that.
Good.
I do rituals for them where ifsometimes it gives people a little
more confidence to see someoneactually perform a ritual.
Yes.
Yeah.
And then some actually watchit and perform along with me, you
know, because then they feelthey've got somebody there.
(52:29):
And we're working our way upto possibly doing some live moon
rituals together.
Cool.
I love that idea.
