This week, our episode is a conversation with the wonderful heathen author and seer Patricia Lafayllve. Within the excellent heathen organization, The Troth, she is an Elder, as well as High Steward. She has performed rituals throughout the US, and is a natural Seer and trained seidr-worker, and in our conversation together, we discussed the essential skills needed to practice trance-based divination, the importance of respect and grounded research in our personal worship, and her two excellent books: A Practical Heathen's Guide to Asatru and Freyja, Lady, Vanadis: An Introduction to the Goddess.
Enjoy!

On this episode of Coffee & Divination, we welcome author and magician Ivy Bromius, to talk about her most recent release, the Cancer Grimoire. This work, offered for free on her website, was written after her recent experience with breast cancer. She is thankfully now cancer-free, and has written the Cancer Grimoire to hopefully help others who are going through health crises, as well as to open up important conversations around magic, wellness, and healthcare in our culture.
Please note that we discuss some intense subjects during this episode, and, as neither Ivy nor myself are doctors, our conversation does not constitute medical advice.

A great conversation with author and diviner, Dr. Alexander Cummins. Dr. Cummins is a historian, poet, geomancer, and consultant whose writings on divination, medicine, folk necromancy, and cunning traditions have been released by both academic and esoteric publishers. We talk geomancy, the roots of divination, and a little about folk necromancy and "An Excellent Booke of the Arte of Magicke: The Magical Works of Humphrey Gilbert and John Davis" which was published by Scarlet Imprint. A wide-ranging, fascinating conversation, as expected....
Enjoy!

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I had the pleasure of sitting down with author, tarot reader, and witch Madame Pamita to explore the magic of tarot and how it can transform our lives. We discuss her wonderful book, Magical Tarot, which guides readers to use tarot as a tool for personal empowerment and magical growth. (I've already recommended the book to a number of friends and family interested in Tarot.) She shares her insights on developing divination skills, both personally and professionally, and provides thoughtful advice on how to use tarot and magic to create a more joyful, abundant life.
This was a wonderful conversation, and although the release has been delayed due to technical issues, I'm very glad to be able to share it now! I hope you enjoy listening.
Also, a quick announcement: My co-High Priestess of the North Wyldewood Coven, Denise Cruci, and I will be presenting at the Sacred Space Conference in March 2025. In the notes below, you can find full details and sign up to attend via their website.
As always, if you enjoy the show, please share with your friends and leave a 5-star review wherever you listen to this podcast! To get in touch with me, find the show on Instagram at @coffeeanddivination
