176 - Micro and MacroDosing Magick

My thoughts on how Magick should be used daily—microdosing and occasionally, in bigger rituals, macrodosing. Both are important for me. What’s your thoughts? Do you microdose or macrodose Magick? What’s more important to you?

Your experiment for this week’s podcast:

Your experiment:

research archetypes and find one or two that resonates with you
Meditate on the energy of the archetype a few minutes a day for at least a week
Find and carry a touchstone for the archetype to remind you to tune into that energy as you go through your day. It could be a small pentacle for the witch archetype. It could be a small paintbrush for the artist. It doesn't matter what it is as long as it holds meaning for you.
