Healing Through Art: Transform Emotion Into Color

In this episode, Courtney walks you through a complete Healing Through Art workshop designed for adults, one you can follow along with at home using watercolor, acrylic, crayons, or colored pencils. This isn't about creating a masterpiece. It's about moving heavy emotions out of your body and onto the page.

The process begins with a card pull from the Inner Child Oracle Deck, setting intention for the work ahead. Courtney then guides you through identifying emotion points, fear, frustration, anger, self-image, overwhelm, resentment, shame, guilt, and assigning each one a color based on pure intuition, not logic. You paint or color these feelings as shapes and sizes that feel right, letting the medium do what it naturally does: spread, blend, create watermarks, surprise you.

This integrated processing technique engages both hemispheres of your brain: language on the left, color and imagery on the right. As emotions move from body to canvas, you may yawn, sigh, or feel energy shift. That's the work happening.

Once dry, you transmute the painting into something positive. You might trace every line and watermark with meditative music playing, or flip the image upside down to see it from a new perspective. You might discover an image hidden in the shapes and outline it with marker.

Courtney also shares examples from past workshops and explains the color guide used in professional healing sessions, what purple, green, blue, and yellow typically represent in emotional processing.

Practically Magick: Harvest Season Crafting & The Knight of Cups

The Wheel of the Year has turned to Lunasa, the first harvest. This episode opens with the Knight of Cups, a card about grand gestures, emotional investment, and recognizing when effort flows one direction in a relationship. Courtney unpacks what this card reveals about love spells, commitment, and the red flags worth paying attention to.

But today's real work happens in the dining room, where Courtney is making smoke-cleansing bundles from foraged materials: mullein leaves, lavender, pine, and Utah sagebrush. This is practical magic for the season, the time when we sort what we've cultivated all year and decide what stays, what goes, and what deserves our energy moving forward.

Courtney addresses an important distinction: smoke cleansing is not the same as smudging. She explains the difference between clearing residual energy and blessing a space, and why it matters to honor indigenous practices rather than appropriate them. She walks through her own process for home cleansings, using sound and intention alongside smoke.

The larger theme is burnout. If you didn't rest during summer's peak, your body will confront you now. Courtney shares her own experience of overcommitting, only to hit the harvest season depleted. This is the moment to look at what's actually on your table and choose what matters.

Plus, details on the Practically Magick 2 screening event and free ticket giveaway happening September 10th.

Show Notes: The Word Witch — Reclamation, History & What It Really Means

The word "witch" carries centuries of weaponized fear. In this episode, Courtney traces its etymology from Old English wicca (magic, sorcery) back to German roots meaning "bending and shaping reality"—a definition that mirrors the actual work of energy healing, intention-setting, and neural rewiring that modern practitioners do every day.

But somewhere between medieval Christianity's spread and King James's demonology texts, the word became a tool of control. Women who were healers, herbalists, independent, or simply in total control of themselves were burned and hanged. The witch trials weren't about devil worship. They were about silencing women's power, their livelihoods, their autonomy.

Courtney refuses to sanitize her work anymore. She's done warping her brand to make others comfortable. When she stands in networking meetings and says "I'm your local witch," she's reclaiming a word that was meant to destroy her ancestors. Energy healing, tarot, spellwork, ritual—it's all witchcraft. And she's honored to say it.

The episode also addresses the real tension: people still flinch at the word. Communities present themselves as inclusive, then edit her out of reels for using it. The bias runs deep. But Courtney's challenge is simple: check what you believe about witches, and ask yourself why.

Practically Magick: The Three Pillars of Magic — Words, Will & Way

Magic isn't wand-waving or Hollywood fantasy. It's the deliberate alignment of your inner belief with your outer action—and Courtney Pearl breaks down exactly how that works.

In this season four premiere, Courtney revisits the foundational framework she introduced in season one: the three pillars of practical magic. The Words you speak—both aloud and in thought—carry frequency. They shape the vibrational signature of your intention. The Will is the subconscious belief underneath those words. If shame or unworthiness runs deep, no affirmation will land. That's where inner child work, breathwork, and energy healing become essential. The Way is the ritual or daily practice that anchors your magic into physical reality.

Courtney draws on neuroscience, the law of attraction, and her own healing practice to explain why so many people hit walls with manifestation. The Secret promised that visualization alone would work—but it left out the subconscious sabotage. She walks through real examples: how to reframe a prayer from fear-based to gratitude-based, why changing your spouse requires changing yourself first, and how to build spells that actually align with your deepest beliefs.

The episode also announces season four launches, a Practical Magic 2 screening event (September 10th in Riverton, Utah), new partnerships with Prism Healing, and Courtney's new Tuesday tarot readings at the Conjuring Tree.

Practically Magick Season 4 Premiere: Tarot, Intuition & The Real Work Behind the Cards

Courtney Pearl sits down with the hosts of Make Me a Believer to answer the question everyone's asking: Is tarot insight or illusion? Healing or fraud?

What unfolds is a masterclass in separating genuine practice from the scams that give witchcraft a bad name. Courtney walks through the actual mechanics of tarot reading—the difference between oracle and tarot decks, why the death card isn't something to fear, and how readers spot clients who are desperately seeking certainty instead of clarity. She's direct about the ethics: readers who tell you how to live your life aren't serving your highest good. They're taking advantage.

The conversation moves beyond the cards themselves into the real work—energy healing, shadow work, inner child processing. Tarot is a tool. The transformation happens in the sessions after, when you're willing to look at what the cards are actually showing you about yourself.

Courtney also addresses the misconceptions head-on. No, you don't need to believe in tarot for it to work. No, you can't accidentally curse your future by asking the wrong question. And yes, you can absolutely be spiritual and religious at the same time.

This is tarot without the mystique. Without the performance. Just the work.

In this season-finale episode of Practically Magick, Courtney Pearl invites you into the quiet, sacred energy of Imbolc, the midpoint of winter where healing, intention, and renewal begin beneath the surface. Rather than pushing change or chasing resolutions, this conversation explores how witchcraft, spirituality, and ritual can support gentle manifestation through awareness, devotion, and compassion.

Blending Celtic mythology, seasonal wisdom, and deeply personal reflection, Courtney reframes Imbolc as a time of germination, not transformation. From the mythology of St. Brigid and the Wheel of the Year to crystal magic, animal guides, and emotional alchemy, this episode encourages listeners to slow down, release shame, and honor the natural rhythms of winter. Topics include journaling as devotional practice, working with intuition, seasonal rituals, body image and healing, and why small, mindful steps create lasting spiritual growth.

This episode is especially powerful for anyone feeling burned out by “new year, new me” culture and craving a more grounded, soulful approach to manifestation and spiritual practice. Imbolc reminds us that growth begins quietly, with patience, presence, and trust in the cycles of nature.

Manifestation isn’t just about wishing harder. In this episode of Practically Magick, Courtney Pearl takes us beyond surface-level spirituality and into the real mechanics of manifestation, witchcraft, and intentional living.

🌙 Episode Summary

What if the New Year isn’t meant for pressure, productivity, or instant transformation? In this episode of Practically Magick with Courtney Pearl, Courtney and Jaime invite listeners into a gentler, more intuitive way of approaching spirituality, witchcraft, and manifestation through the lens of seasonal cycles.

Recorded at Rising Moon Minerals, the conversation explores winter as a liminal space. A time for rest, reflection, shadow work, and quiet power rather than forced resolutions. Using tarot, astrology, ritual practice, and real-life stories, Courtney reframes manifestation as something that unfolds organically when we honor our natural rhythms.

The episode touches on the Queen of Swords as an archetype of confident, grounded feminine energy. Power that doesn’t need to perform. You’ll hear honest reflections on rituals that don’t go “perfectly,” the pressure of doing spirituality the “right” way, and why intention matters more than rigid rules. From winter solstice traditions and the 12 wishes ritual to breathwork, sound healing, and crystal wisdom, this conversation reminds us that magic is most powerful when it’s practical, personal, and rooted in self-compassion.

If you’ve ever felt behind, burnt out, or disconnected from your spiritual practice, this episode offers reassurance, grounding, and permission to slow down.
