Ohm-M-G, witches. Artist and DIY witch herself, Lia Taylor, sits down with Leah & Rachel to get witchy. You may recognize some of Lia's work on the Basic Witches stickers and merch, and she witch*crafts* the cutest potions & witch bottles! We discuss life's unpredictability, the 11 Laws of Satanism, using glamour magick to pick out clothes, and coffee spells. Lia tells us how she carved out time & space for witchcraft by letting things be easy & creating intuitive spells throughout her days. And it doesn't get more basic than this - Lia teaches us that the spices and ingredients in your PSL are perfect for spells! In closing, Leah and Rachel give Lia a Goddess Oracle Card reading.
We also address a very recent traumatic event we're going through and we mega-appreciate all your love, support, and good vibes at this time. If you'd like to contribute to Rachel's Recovery GoFundMe: https://tinyurl.com/yyhqqd3v

"Keepin' It Real" with Conner Moore
Wednesday Oct 09, 2019
Wednesday Oct 09, 2019
Things get real with personal development coach & host of "The Realness" podcast Conner Moore! He may have perfect bone structure, but his upbringing and life have been far from perfect. Conner chats with Leah and Rachel about accepting the darkness within instead of shaming it, challenging toxic masculinity, and embracing others exactly where they are without judgement. From magic mushrooms, to the ultra-intelligent Iowaska plant, to being naked and blind-folded beating a pillow until he collapsed in somatic therapy - this man has tried it all. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Conner (@connerwanders) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

"Level UP!" with Pro Witch Kat Trimarco
Wednesday Sep 25, 2019
Wednesday Sep 25, 2019
Spiritual psychology and sex & relationship coach *and* author of "Self-Approved", Kat Trimarco, knows first-hand that once you see the pattern, you're not the pattern. She broke her pattern, got sober, and leveled up by being her f*cking self and she knows everyone is capable of the same. Like her book, this episode is jam-packed with helpful reminders about rock bottoms, the beauty of failure, erotic blueprints, the importance of embodiment, and making loving space for "negative" emotions. Get ready to level up, witches. In closing, Leah and Rach give Kat (@kat_trimarco) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

By the end of the ep, we hope you'll have learned to get off your phone, do good karma spells, and have the confidence of a straight white male. Heck! Maybe even expect a miracle...
