Basic Witches

Aunt Carla, or as you know her on Instagram @MarieLizzeau, is a Self-Help Professional Witch, High Priestess of The Queen Up Club Mystery School, and one of the smiliest guests we’ve ever had! Listening to this ep you’ll feel like you are over at your Auntie’s house sipping hot cocoa and listening to history stories, except this time you’re learning the *TRUTH*! We acknowledge the ugly roots of America, and the unsightly roots on Rachel’s head, and how important it is to make reparations. You’ll hear the in’s and out’s of using HooDoo magic for *surviving* as the slaves did, and how Aunt Carla is transforming the folk magic into a tool for *thriving* in the modern age. Plus we tackle the million dollar question: is HooDoo for everyone, and if not, who-do and who-don’t?” In closing our Queen guest pulls an oh-so-positive Tarot and Oracle spread for the collective!

We are so grateful to have a friend like Mx. Becker Grumet. They are a non-binary trans-masculine person fighting for Black Lives Matter, Black Trans Lives Matter, and advocating for the LGBTQIAP communities, all while writing & producing hilarious Musicals such as the acclaimed “Weed Shop”. As you’ll hear on this episode, we met Becker when they went by their birth name and had long hair. It was an honor to get to interview them on the ins and outs of top surgery, hormone therapy, decisions like chopping their hair off and saying, “Ta ta!” to their ta-ta’s. Life can’t be broken down into 1’s and 0’s, so it’s only fitting that people are non-binary as well; it’s all a spectrum. As three privileged white people having this conversation our hope is that we can inspire other white folks to have the difficult conversations with their loved ones on race, voting, and the importance of activism in 2020 and beyond. We end with a card pull on the blossoming of a new world!

Sparkle Sterling can shine through anything, and it’s one of the *many* things we love about her. She’s an actor, writer, model, activist, mother, and the list goes on - the woman is a Goddess! Sparkle chats with Leah and Rachel about the very earthly struggles of being a woman, especially a black woman raising a black son, dreamt up colorful futures we’d like to see, and got deep in laughter and thought, as per usj. Witches, it’s time to make money moves, so listen in for our manifesting tips, how to harness that pu$$y power, and enjoy the scary good card reading at the end of this episode. Witches, it’s time for our bright future. (Hi, Mr./Ms. FBI agent, we know you’re listening!)

We hope this episode reaches your ears in good health and safety, dear listeners. A few weeks ago we talked with Pro-Witch Kelley Knight, global author and the bad-ass owner of The Modern Mystic shop in Atlanta, GA. As you’ll hear, we recorded this episode amidst pandemic protests and before the tragedy of George Floyd, but we hope the wise words within the hour can provide inspiration and comfort for you now. You’ll learn about Kelley’s psychic awakening, spirit guides from the movie Transformers, and how to instantly heal yourself and how to be more responsive, less reactive. In closing, Kelley (@modernmystic_shop) gives us a spot-on Tarot reading for the collective.

Fellow comedian and Pro-Witch Rebecca Leib joins us for an episode recorded amidst chaos. As Los Angeles burns around us as we delve into the long history - since Day 1 - of oppression in America. Witches are here to fight for equality and we’re no strangers to burning things down. We stand with Black Lives Matter and urge you to spread the word and do what you can to add magic to the cause. As if reality isn’t currently haunting enough, we hear some legit ghost stories, totally accurate Tarot tales, and we get two cents from a Grandma ghost. We are aware that we are white and privileged, which is why it is important that we use that privilege to fight with our brothers and sisters of all races, genders, and sexualities. Let’s make America a safe, inclusive, respectful melting pot, er, cauldron*. In closing, Rebecca (@rebeccaleib) reassures us with an inspiring Tarot spread you won’t want to miss. Sending big love to you all.
