Two former "bee-priestesses" start their podcast journey by picking apart a false lineage they were once a part of and helped unravel. It will be deeply investigative, full of insight and also full of snark and laughs and a healthy dose of cuss words. Can't take yourself too seriously.

My Alchemical Romance:

This is a podcast where two spiritually over seasoned women explore and investigate the lure of magical books, hidden traditions and what it means, in reality, to follow a sacred path or what you believe to be a calling.

There are many religious, occult, shamanic traditions out there - many overlapping in their doctrines, beliefs, lore and practices. Offerings of magic in a chaos laced world are seductive, and never more so when the bond of community runs parallel.

We hold a fascination in the wellspring of belief and faith in the unseen. And more so the weave of how mystical knowing becomes the fabric of how a life is lived. But what’s often overlooked, yet as compelling, is when that weave is ripped apart.

Welcome! Who are we? What are we doing? Why are we doing it? Are we insane? Do we have enough biscuits to carry on?

Join us on our introductory episode where we give you the run down and the reason, where we beg and plead for your patience and forgiveness for our editing skills, and promise a whole buch of times that it'll be interesting, we swear!
