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.

Bio: Marcella Kroll is a multi-hyphenate artist, author, and intuitive with nearly 20 years of experience in the fields of divination, creativity, and spiritual empowerment.

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.

UFO stories are easy to dismiss until you look at what serious researchers actually wrestle with: physical traces on the ground, multi-witness sightings, “unknowns” admitted by official programs, and a strange pattern of spiritual aftereffects that do not fit a simple materialist story. We sit down with Dr. Jonathan Kendall, a practicing nephrologist and the author of The Metaphysics of UFOs, to ask a questions and explore the reality beyond what we currently call reality.

We start with the basics, including why “UAP” (unidentified anomalous phenomena) has become the modern label and how stigma has shaped public conversation. Then we go deep into classic high strangeness territory: Point Pleasant’s Mothman reports, waves of UFO sightings, and the unsettling Men in Black phenomenon that seems to blur government intimidation with something far more uncanny. Jonathan shares why the evidence base is bigger than most people realize, from Project Blue Book’s persistent “unknowns” to modern reporting, media scrutiny, and congressional attention.

The heart of the conversation is metaphysics: UAP as an overtly physical phenomenon that still leaves a spiritual signature. We talk about landing effects, radiation cases, and also the reports of orbs, apparitions, psychic experiences, and the surprising number of people who describe long-term personal transformation. We connect that thread to Jonathan’s other work on apparitions and after-death experiences, and we end with the question we ask every guest: what do you believe lies beyond?

If you’re curious about UFO evidence, UAP disclosure, Men in Black, Mothman, psychical research, and the spiritual dimension of close encounters, press play and join us. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Here is a recent article that Dr. Kendall published: https://www.llewellyn.com/journal/article/3340?utm_source=paraup0626&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=paraup0626

Bio:
Jonathan Kendall
I am a practicing Nephrologist in Eastern Kentucky, board certified in Internal Medicine and Nephrology. Independent Christian belief (i.e. very non-denominational). My belief is that current traditional belief systems lack a coherent understanding of reality as evidenced in my research and writing on apparitions and UFOs. Needless to say I have an immense fascination (and always have had) with the spiritual and the paranormal.

Your hands are not a sentence, they are a story you can edit. We sit down with professional palmist and author Paula Victoria Dai to clear up the biggest palmistry myths, from the fear around the lifeline to the idea that a reading locks you into one fate. Palmistry, as Paula practices it, is a living study of lines, mounts, texture, and hand shape that reflects your energy, patterns, and choices, and it can change as you do.

We also dig into why Paula’s first book, In Your Hands: Putting The Magic Back In Your Hands, A Kids Guide To Palmistry, is such a smart entry point for both kids and adults. Written for ages eight to twelve, it uses clear language, color illustrations, and practical exercises that make hand reading feel approachable, especially if you have bounced off older, denser palmistry books. Along the way, we talk about intuition in childhood, neurodivergent-friendly learning, and why ethical spiritual practice matters, including grounding, setting sacred space, and reading with care instead of ego.

You will hear simple palmistry tests you can try right away, like noticing your thumb position for your current social battery and gently testing hand flexibility as a mirror for how you handle plans and control. Then we go deeper into what a palm reading can reveal about career transitions, passion projects, relationships, and personal power, plus how Paula stays grounded through ancestral practice, dream work, and reconnecting with Filipino folklore and protective traditions.

If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about divination, palmistry, hand reading, intuition, and spiritual ethics, subscribe, share this with a curious friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find the show.

Bio: Paula Victoria is the professional palmist and author behind P is for Palmistry. Paula learned palmistry at a young age from her grandmother and has grown her practice through virtual readings, events, markets and residencies in the Los Angeles Area.

With over 25 years of palmistry practice and experience connecting with people through art curation, professional organizing, and her interior design studio, Paula’s readings are deeply focused.

Her readings help others discover their own set of personal strengths and guide them through life transitions with ease, clarity, and confidence. Her first book In Your Hands: A Kids Guide to Palmistry is now available anywhere you buy books!

The Moon has been shaping life on Earth since before humans had words for wonder, and we don’t have to treat that as metaphor. We sit down with Lady Jesamyn Angelica, priestess, ritualist, and oracle, to talk about the Moon as a real force: tides, water, bodies, evolution, and the quiet ways lunar cycles show up in our moods, choices, and rituals. If you’ve ever felt pulled toward moon magic but wanted something grounded, this conversation meets you there.

We also dig into devotion and language. Jesamyn shares why she consciously relates to the Moon as “she” and as goddess, how women-centered spirituality can be both healing and inclusive, and why centering women is not the same thing as excluding men. Along the way, we talk about her path and what it means to build a living relationship with the Moon instead of chasing perfect rules.

On the practical side, we get into the tools people actually want: moon water, lunar elixirs, potions, and easy ways to connect with the Moon today using the elements and lunar astrology. Jesamyn also opens up about writing Llewellyn’s Complete Book of the Moon and why “take what works and leave the rest” is essential for sustainable witchcraft practice. Then we zoom out to leadership and community care, including the “empowered sovereign” archetype and how clear boundaries prevent burnout.

If this sparked something in you, subscribe, share the episode with a moon-loving friend, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.

Jesamyn's Bio: Priestess, Ritualist, and Oracle, Jesamyn Angelica has practiced Witchcraft and walked the Path of the Moon since her dedication to the Goddess as a Maiden. Now in her Queen Season, she is High Priestess of Sisterhood of the Moon, a matriarchal Goddess Tradition for all located in the San Francisco Bay Area. As Alchemical Guide of The Women’s Mystery School of Magick & Empowerment, she is dedicated to empowering all women through truth-speaking, authenticity, and self-exploration.

Through the soon-to-be launched Lunaversity, she shares her love of lunar alchemy and moon magick with all who are called to modern moon mysticism.

Jesamyn brings joie de vivre, humor, and wit to all she does, combining these qualities with foundational skills in leadership, communication, and magick cultivated over three decades.

Jesamyn’s first title, “Llewellyn’s Complete Book of the Moon: Lunar Wisdom for Magic, Healing, and Inspiration” was published in December 2025.

Hi Everybody, Granddaughter Crow Here. With yet another episode of Belief, Being, & BEYOND! On this show, we love bringing Great People to Great People. Week after week, Jenny C. Bell and I get to showcase Amazing Authors, Authentic Creators, and Dedicated Spiritualists and every once in a while we host a Roundtable Dialogue where we can sit down with these creators. And tonight, is a Roundtable Night.

At our last Roundtable we explored the complex topic of AI or Artificial Intelligence vs the HI or Human Intelligence. How people in the Spiritual and Witchcraft community view AI” in 2026! It was a brilliant dialogue, and We did have an anonymous consensus on “Using AI as a Spiritual Advisor, is NOT the Best idea”

So, that begs the question, “What are other options to connect with spirit?”

Tonight, We are going to explore the topic of “Divination”! What is it and different tools… and see where the dialogue takes us. We have an expansive panel for you tonight… So let’s start the show!

Divination looks mysterious from the outside, but the reality is much more human: it’s what we reach for when we need clarity, perspective, and a path forward. This Roundtable includes experienced readers, authors, and creators to unpack what divination, how it works, and the wander of it all. From tarot and oracle cards to runes, pendulums, charms, bones, moon phases, and pure intuitive hits, we compare tools and the real reasons they help people make sense of their lives.

We also get practical about ritual and process. We talk about opening sacred space, setting ego aside, grounding before and after a session, and more. You’ll hear why asking better questions matters, how consent and dialogue can deepen a reading, and what to do when a card doesn’t make sense right away. If you’ve ever wondered whether you “have to” pull cards every day, or felt guilty when your practice ebbs and flows, we give you permission to build a divination practice that fits your body, your schedule, and your reality.

Finally, we name the quiet truths that newer readers rarely hear: many pros won’t read for themselves when as they might be too close to the outcome. Self-doubt is often the biggest block. Divination is a kind of literacy and a practice of attention, one that gets stronger with time, play, experimentation, and trust. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s curious about tarot and divination, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

Magick is as dynamic as we are! We’re joined by Jenny C. Bell, author of Divergent Witchcraft, to talk about building an inclusive witchcraft practice for real humans: ADHD minds, autistic learners, highly sensitive people, and anyone who has ever felt “other” in a world built around someone else’s rules.

We unpack why Jenny chose the word “divergent” instead of trying to speak for every form of neurodivergence, and how witches are already deviating from the norm just by claiming the word witch. From there, we go deeper into deconstruction: how Abrahamic religious frameworks, Puritan work ethic, and cultural pressure can teach obedience, shame, and disconnection, and how self-sovereignty becomes a core magical skill.

Then we get practical. Jenny shares meditation options for people who can’t sit still, including walking meditation and “meditative moments” that happen while you craft, doodle, or move. We talk journaling with purpose (especially writing to your future self), speaking spells out loud through breath and vibration, simple summer solstice rituals that celebrate sunshine without pressure, and using music playlists as a powerful ally for manifestation and energy work.

If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review so more divergent witches can find their way home.
