Storytelling Magic with Daje Aloh

Ep. 227
On episode 227, a profound and far-ranging conversation with Daje Aloh about storytelling. We recorded this around her exact Saturn return at the start of Pisces, and through her embodiment this episode feels like a transmission on the transit, and what we could open to with Saturn in the imaginative and visionary sign of Pisces — where we dream from necessity, the hard work of dreaming, the way we can truly shape and structure our lives with dreams.We also discuss the Persephone myth and the narcissus flower, flower essences, belonging & self-belonging and much more.Daje Aloh is a Memphis-born, Appalachian-cured storyteller, song-keeper, and essence liberation coach. Currently, her work is to support seekers, lovers, crafters, and kin in finding and singing the deep song of their lives.

Spirit Keepers Tarot & the I Ching with Benebell Wen

Ep. 224
On episode 224, we're joined by Benebell Wen - a creator whose offerings in tarot, the I Ching, and the occult have been sources of major inspiration in my life and it was a dream fulfilled to get to have her on this podcast. Benebell created, illustrated, authored my favorite ever deck the Spirit Keepers Tarot — which if you know, you KNOW, why it is a favorite. This episode is coming out in time for you to pre-order the next print run of the deck and I’m not a sponsor, just a fan. I love the deck because it opened the door to the I Ching for me, because every card is a multifaceted universe in itself that I couldn’t really memorize but get to meet anew every time I pull the card, and because the deck is alive in a way it’s become a friend and part of the mythic weaving of my life.In this conversation, we discuss the process of creating the deck, the nature of metaphysical power, the I Ching and several cards in particular (the tower, eight of swords, five of cups, ten of cups and 7 of pentacles). Benebell also helped me realize thru the synchronicity of some of the hexagrams and cards I mentioned & their associations that I apparently have a relationship to thunder more than I thought. Kind of magical because at the time of recording and publishing this conversation, I’m living in Peru (for a little bit before I return to the states) and I experience more lightning/thunder in the Andes here than anywhere else I’ve ever lived.Benebell Wen is the author of Holistic Tarot and The Tao of Craft. Her third book, I Ching, The Oracle is forthcoming June of this year. She is also the creator of the Spirit Keeper's Tarot.

Encounters of Destabilization and of New Worlds with Grace Webb

Ep. 222
On episode 222, a conversation I had a few weeks back with Grace Webb inspired by their literary thesis about worldmaking and encounter that involves the archetype of a destabilizing figure. This is a person who lives inside of a different reality than the mainstream or consensus reality around them, and simply by existing and others encountering them, others are changed, destabilized.After hearing about their literary thesis around this archetype it pinged some of the things I’d been reflecting on with the upcoming wave of Pluto in Aquarius. Within some of the teachings around Aquarius & its modern ruler Uranus, we also encounter unconventional or iconoclast figures & the various psychology and nuance of that figure & their social impact. On Magic of the Spheres, we have been having some conversations and solo episodes lately about the upcoming 20 year transit of Pluto in Aquarius, and I consider this conversation a continuation of that. We actually spend less time on astrology and more on the experiential exploration of what it means to hold a different reality inside of oneself & what *encounters* between different worlds are like, whether we find ourselves the disruptor, the disrupted, or mutually destabilized.Grace offers a perspective on the romanticism of this archetype. when we speak of destabilization it is not meant here with a negative connotation but had more of an energetic of willingness to experience new realities. As our conversation on the archetype developed, we talked about how this applies to the individual pursuit of belonging versus seeking greater frontiers (even if its lonely at first), the concepts of cultural codependency versus writing our own scripts, and dating, romance and alternate ways of relating.Grace Webb is a sexuality educator, facilitator, and writer living in NYC. They regularly host workshops on relational skill-building, non-monogamy, and other sexual health topics. Grace is also passionate about working with youth and helping queer and trans youth to explore and share their stories. You can find them at their website, gracewebbcreates.com, or on Instagram @ggraceewebb.✨🎓✨ Learn more about Dragon of the Moon: an Evolutionary Astrology Initiation: https://sabrinamonarch.mykajabi.com/eaintensive✨🔮✨ Visit my website and read written versions of the weekly forecasts: http://www.monarchastrology.com✨💌✨ Sign up for my mailing list: http://eepurl.com/b2U6bPIG: @sabrinamonarchTwitter: @Sabrina_monarchMusic by Danny Lampton of The Light & The Weight commissioned for Magic of the Spheres Podcast.hungry ghosts of paradise ad music includes samples from April Gloom used with permission
