A scarab on the cover isn’t just pretty design, it’s a symbol of transformation. We’re joined by Marcella Kroll, a psychic medium, occult practitioner, and spiritual counselor, to talk about The Initiates Oracle and why this deck is built for ritual, integration, and real-life rebirth rather than quick fortune telling. We get into how symbol, color, and archetype can speak straight to the body, especially when words fail.

Marcella shares the story behind the deck’s origins: a 2022 journey through Egypt with a Hermetic magic school, initiations and rituals in sacred temples, and days on the Nile that kept her in a dreamlike liminal space. From that experience, we explore how spiritual travel imprints the nervous system, how creativity becomes a vessel for the ineffable, and why initiations show up as repeated thresholds across a lifetime.

We also talk practical divination and intuitive development: setting intention, pulling one card, entering the imagery like a portal, journaling what you see, then using the guidebook as support before you integrate the message in daily life. Marcella breaks down her Depth Oracle program and what it means to honor the oracle archetype with ethics, boundaries, self-trust, and community in the digital age. She closes with a grounding reminder that hits hard right now: breathe, stay centered, and pause between reaction and response.

Subscribe for more conversations on mysticism, oracle decks, liminal space, and spiritual practice, and if this one resonates, share it and leave a review so more listeners can find the work.

Spellwork does not belong to an elite club. When Judika Illes sits down with us, we get a clear, grounded reminder that if you are a human with desires or fears, you already have the raw material for magic. We talk about why her work, from Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells to her Oracle decks, lands with so many people: it makes witchcraft accessible, digestible, and practical without losing its depth.

We also trace Judika’s long relationship with tarot, starting with discovering the B.O.T.A. deck as a child and learning by building a personal bond with the cards. From there, we nerd out on research as sacred archaeology, what it takes to write deeply researched metaphysical reference books, and the real publishing process that most readers never see. If you love folk magic, this conversation is a feast: home ingredients, creative problem solving, and spells designed for people who need help now, not seven days from now with expensive tools.

Then we step into saints and Catholic folk magic, including why so many witches petition Saint Anthony of Padua for finding what is lost, Saint Expedite for fast results, and Archangel Michael for daily protection. We wrap with a big question about what lies beyond and a surprisingly comforting image of many possible afterlives, with room to move toward love and belonging.

If this sparks something in you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review so more seekers can find Belief Being and Beyond.

You can be spiritually open without being spiritually exposed, and that line is what we explore with spiritual protection that works in real life. We get questions all the time about how to protect your energy, why it matters, and what “protection” even means if you are an empath, a witch, a highly sensitive person, or someone doing any kind of intuitive or healing work. We start with the truth that changes everything: the brighter you shine, the more likely you are to attract other people’s projections, jealousy, and energetic clutter, even if nobody is “doing” anything to you on purpose.

Together we bring a grounded, cross-cultural lens, pulling from Shamanism, Buddhism, angel work, and folk magic traditions like the evil eye to explain why so many paths agree on the same basic idea: there is an invisible world of energy, and you have to choose what you let in. From there, we get practical. We share a simple diagnostic that can save you years of confusion, “Is this mine?”, plus ways to test it using tarot or your body as a yes or no “human pendulum” so your nervous system can cut through spiraling thoughts.

Then we move into the daily toolkit: cleansing and protection that does not require expensive supplies. We talk selenite for aura cleansing, cinnamon smoke as an easy home option, salt in the shower, and why cleanse first then protect so you do not trap residual energy. We also get into talismans and moon charging, healthy boundaries around your personal items, and the internal side of protection: self-care, therapy, journaling, and defending your magic from its classic enemy, self-doubt.

If you want a spiritual protection routine you can actually keep, press play, try one practice today, and tell us what changed. Subscribe, share with a friend who feels “off” a little too often, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.
