The Hermit’s Lamp Podcast - A place for witches, hermits, mystics, healers, and seekers

EP45 Magick, the Economy, & Plants with Harold Roth

What are you doing with magick?

I have been seeing shifts in the way that people talk about the magick they are doing and the kinds of work that they are into. Harold and I talk about our experiences as magickal people and as shop keeps serving the magickal communities. This conversation was triggered by a post Harold had on his blog here about definitions of witchcraft.

Harold’s blog is here and he is on Facebook here and his online store is here.

EP37 Science, intuition and tarot with Mary Greer Pt. 2

This is part two of my interview with Mary Greer. Part one can be found here.

One of the greatest things about Mary Greer is that she is always looking to learn more. Whether it is from other readers or other styles of divination she is always looking to grow and expand her practice. This also means she is always exploring what is at he cutting edge of reading. Mary and I spent almost two hours talking about science, guiding people through readings, intuition versus psychicism, and so much more.
