S4 E20: Moon Phases 101: Everything you need to know about the lunar cycle

In this episode, I'm joined by Tammy Mastroberte, who is a wellness expert, spiritual teacher, and award-winning author. Tammy is sharing with us about her new book, The Higher Help Method, which is a powerful guide for creating the most fulfilling life that we all strive for by outlining practical yet spiritual tools, such as meditation and mindset changes. Tammy shares her personal journey of discovering spirit guides and mediumship after her mother's death and how it led her to develop practical yet spiritual tools for getting unstuck. She introduces her method, a four-step process that involves getting clear on what you desire, partnering with the universe to co-create that desire, receiving signs and synchronicities, and more. Tammy also explains the different types of spirit guides and higher helpers that people can work with and how tools such as crystals can help us amplify our energy and intentions as we call on our guides.

In this episode, I'm sharing my nine-part framework for Living Your Most Magickal Life! This is totally customizable and adaptable to so many different paths because it's mostly not about WHAT you do, but rather about discovering who you are so that you can create a practice that's in alignment for you - no matter what it looks like.

In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend, Lorriane Anderson, who is a multidisciplinary spiritual teacher, soul-based entrepreneur, and author of The Witch’s Apothecary and the Seasons of the Witch oracle decks. She is also one of our speakers at the upcoming Empowered Modern Witches Summit, where she will be offering a reading for the collective with the new Seasons of the Witch: Mabon oracle deck. Lorriane and I have been witchy friends and colleagues for many years and often find ourselves on parallel spiritual journeys. In the episode, Lorriane and I chat about our own spiritual practices and how they have evolved over the years, how sometimes skipping rituals can be more mindful and present than pushing through or going through the motions, and how to adapt the cycles of nature like the Wheel of the Year to suit your own needs. Lorriane also shared a really interesting and useful reframe of the Wheel of the Year, not just as seasonal festivals at specific times of year but as expressions of powerful human emotions that we might experience or tap into even in the "wrong" season, (such as tapping into the grief of Samhain in spring or summer.)
