**E39 – Reverend Riley Sophia on ‘Circle of Life’ Healing & Recovery** Nov 02, 2018
**Topics**: Becoming a minister, healing childhood abuse, birth, death, and getting right with “God” & “Jesus” as a queer witchy woman.

**About the show:** Your host Amy Lynn was honored to meet Reverend Riley Sophia over this past summer during her ministry residency in Colorado. Bonding over a shared love of Redwoods, she agreed to come on the cast and share an intimate little slice of her wisdom from a life lived in service and ministry. Reverend Riley does interfaith full “Circle of Life” care – a death doula, hospice chaplain, wedding minister, and a trained birth doula.

This episode goes DEEP, Dreamweaver. We learn about Reverend Riley’s recovery from childhood abuse, and ongoing journey. How did Rev. Riley get to the bottom of her pain and disconnection with God? How did she respond to the call to chaplaincy work? These, and other life-long questions addressed by a woman reclaiming her worthiness and desire to spiritually heal the living.

**E38 – Impostor Syndrome & Belonging with Rock ‘n Roll Shaman** Oct 15, 2018
“Going through “Weirdo” is certainly one of the steps of initiation on the path to authenticity and spirituality” – Andye Murphy, Rock ‘n Roll Shaman

Today we talk about *Impostor Syndrome*. Do you ever feel like you don’t belong in the social or spiritual communities you’re participating in? Do you feel like a phony, fraud, or like you don’t fit the typecast of a witch, healer, psychic, or medium? Do you feel equally as phony and fraudulent in mainstream society? Some advice on how to stretch and grow into the unfamiliar of a community, and how to create your own space to practice, celebrate, and study your magick.

Where do you feel like you belong, Dreamweaver? How can you use the feeling of innate belonging to overcome impostor syndrome to release your ego and live an authentic life?

Amy Lynn & our beloved Andye Murphy, the Rock ‘n Roll Shaman recorded this at the end of a tumultuous Summer season, drawing from aspects of a dark night of the soul. This episode was inspired by a letter from a listener like you. Thank you to Daniel for sharing his fears and challenges for our collective growth and reflection. Please contact us at Witchcraftsy.com for topic requests, feedback, or musings!

**E37 – Healing Haunted Mansions with the Lumber Baroness Elaine Bryant** Sep 24, 2018
Have you ever walked into an older space and simply knew it: something paranormal was going on! For you, Dreamweaver, it was probably something to get excited about. We love mystery from the astral plane. Haunted mansions are the topic of today’s show with none other than Elaine Bryant, the Baroness of the Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens in Denver, CO. She and her husband Joel answered the call to purchase this 10,000+ square foot beauty in the last few years, and the mystery just keeps unfolding!

Elaine has made it her mission to transform the haunted mansion from a sensational attraction about the 70’s murder mystery, to a sacred space used for community, learning, and retreat. Learn about how the haunted mansion talks to her, what gifts it leaves her, and who it attracts to teach Elaine personally and professionally. Learn about what it takes to be the trusted steward of a powerful home, how Elaine is evolving her divination with Lenormand card reading, and what she’s most excited about next.

Psssst, the Lumber Baron and Elaine first came into Witchcraftsy orbit due to the ultra special event known as the Conjure Gala. The second annual event still has tickets and kicks off on Sept 29th Check out Episode 11 with Loo Ledesma to learn more about Conjure!

**E36 – Warm Wisdom from Alchemy of Light’s Robin Wiggs** Sep 18, 2018
“I will walk alongside you to support you as you transform your life, bringing out all that you are and radiating your perfection. I am here to honor your journey and the gift within.” – Robin Wiggs

Have you dreamed about switching careers to enter the healing arts? Are you already helping others with your words and touch? What’s holding you back? Today’s guest is full of warm wisdom for you, Dreamweaver. Robin Wiggs, a shamanic practitioner with Alchemy of Light, retired early from the hustle of a high-stress job in corporate to become a healer with massage therapy and multiple forms of divination.

Robin spent decades of her life in the chaos of the corporate world, and now is helping other align. Let’s soak up that wisdom and get inspired to create the life we really want.

Beyond Robin’s big career shift, we also get into a variety of favorite mysterious topics. Fairies: What’s the deal, and how do we invite them around? Angels: Where and when to call on them? Your Witchcraftsy host Amy Lynn will share a little insight into a super helpful “healing my younger self” session with Robin. Enjoy!

**E35 – Name it. Feel it. Heal it.** Aug 28, 2018
This cast is a love letter to witches (and other magickal folks) about how we use our words to name the oppression, injustice, and discrimination we experience. Amy Lynn shares an intimate story about petitioning against gender discrimination as a wee witch, and how it’s applicable to today. Using our words to name the things that steal our power helps reclaim our agency. But naming it is just the start…

What does it feel like? How do you cope with those feelings?

If the oppression sits and festers inside, it is a dark veil that cloaks our gifts, powers, and connection to our higher self. Let’s free ourselves by naming and feeling the feelings, breaking the cycle of storing the trauma in our blood. Our words are the most epic tools we have in our witchy kits.

Just a few things to add to your weekend toolkit of juicy, badass, powerhouse women and change agents:

**E34 – Slowing down from “Human Doing” with Rock ‘n Roll Shaman Andye Murphy** Jul 24, 2018
Today’s episode with our beloved Rock ‘n Roll Shaman is about “human doing” instead of human being. Are you so obsessed with producing, creating, ‘doing,’ that you can’t relax and play? Do you have anxiety about paying bills, staying relevant, or keeping up? Shift into a space of receiving and surrendering into existence. A lot of discussion, ideas and exercises on how to find your ‘truth point’ in your body to guide your decisions. Release the shame and judgment and remember you’re a human being…

“Darlings… Express your need. That doesn’t make you bad, it doesn’t make you selfish. And If you don’t know, retreat from everybody and ask. Ask yourself: ‘what feels like love?’ Ask yourself: “What feels safe?” – Andye Murphy

Helpful Inks: We talk about Duncan Trussel Family Hour. You can find Andye here! Also, we talk about Spiritualism and Lily Dale.

**E33 – Coven Work with Witch Priestess, Teacher, and Ifa Initiate Rory Lula McMahan** Jul 12, 2018
It’s high time we talk to Witch Priestess Rory Lula McMahan, founder of Sacred Table. It’s impossible to spend any time in Denver’s witch community without hearing a gush, rave, or sigh of gratitude for the work of this one woman. Amongst many things, she is the founder of the RitualCravt school, a Witch Priestess leading local witch covens, and an Ifa Initiate.

Today’s cast we dig into questions like: What is an Ifa initiate? What happens in a witch coven? Are there different approaches to witch coven work? With Rory Lula’s story of her spiritual path, you’ll get deeper in touch with your own path… and maybe find a course to expand your knowledge and understanding of your own magick. Hell, maybe you’ll start your own witch coven, Dreamweaver?

**E32 – The Power of Consensual Sexual Healing with a Career Dominatrix** Jul 04, 2018
This episode we dig into the curiosity of what it’s like to be a career consensual sex worker. DomX is an anonymous guest that lets us into her decade of experience helping (mostly) men heal emotional trauma. We get real real on the stigma that comes with being a career sex worker, and how that oppression holds her back from making a living and living out loud.

We understand that this could be a sensitive topic for some. However, if we’re true to our values at Witchcraftsy, we honor the transformative power of ritual and ceremony and the healing power of consensual sex. We also believe that we’re in a tumultuous time of the feminine rising, workers like DomX help heal the wounds of masculinity. Grateful for this smart, funny, brave woman opening up a slice of her healing work to us.

**E31 – Building Ritual Community with Luna Goddess Circle** Jun 26, 2018
Community and your ritual practice, Dreamweaver…

Astrologist Porsche Bazany (of Urania Universe) and Yogi/Body Healer Jessica Jean Muir (of Raven Roots) started trading spells like recipes, and conjuring up post-shift rituals while working in a restaurant together. Mother Goddess lives everywhere, Y’all, Their solo magick coming together started to morph into a glorious idea for Luna Goddess Circles: let’s bring more curious witches together for learning, experimentation, and collective healing.

Oftentimes witches and spiritual folks get stuck in solo practice. It’s easy to get used to your brand of candle magick, your secret forest getaway, or the special way you do your prayers with the moon. We forget to hold hands with others as a way to amplify our divine energy for an serve the collective. Get inspired to Join a Luna Goddess Circle, start your own goddess circle, or apply the manifestation ritual they share on today’s episode. We promise, you’ll catch the vibes and heart-centered goodness right from the start. So Mote it Be!

**E30 – Healer Chong Bhakti on Transmuting Stagnant Energy to Create** Jun 19, 2018
Part two of this wise and powerful interview (see E29) is our with Holographic Divine Healer Chong Bhakti. Catch part one as we build to Chong’s conception of God as the source of all springs, a discussion of where we cosmically are today on our human evolution. We’re living deeply in the masculine aspects, and muting our feminine aspects of the Divine. Find your magick, Dreamweaver. Take your hatred and transmute that into something creative.

“We choose to be here. We need to be here with both feet. Make a commitment altogether. Then whatever we decide, create in our own lives. It becomes easier.” – Chong Bhakti

I reference CTZN Podcast’s episode with Tarana Burke

***Trigger warning: we do talk about heavy topics of abuse and rape in reference to survivorship and healing 15 minutes into the episode***

What does it mean to “walk-in” to your body, instead of being born? Is that beyond your understanding? Good. Chong Bhakti’s of Holographic Divine Healing is here to talk about what’s beyond your understanding in life. What’s at the fringe of possibility in your mind, Dreamweaver?

**E28 – Witchy Spiritual Lessons – “Where the People Are” with Amy Lynn** Jun 06, 2018
Hello, Dreamweaver. Are you feeling a little disconnected from source, lately? Checking boxes while you hustle to make shit happen vs. aligning with others? Maybe you’re just focused so much on a solo work or healing practice, you feel stuck or alone.

Today’s super intimate little cast is a witchy lesson from me, your host. I call it “Where the people are” because it’s all about connecting to the source by being with our fellow humans. It’s about learning from and growing with others. It’s about unexpected places where mother spirit shows up.

Here are a few suggestions at the end of the cast for how to “be where the people are”:

1.) Change Perspective: Realize we need each other. In an OnBeing episode this week I heard John A. Powell share “there is no such thing as a sovereignty.” We are in relationship with one another.” We’ve become our own victims of hyper-individualization. Realizing I need others scares the shit out of me sometimes! I can do it on my own. I’m powerful, and in charge. Nope. We need each other to grow, and to comfort when the growing pains are too much to bear.

2.) Change Scenery: Go somewhere outside of your normal and just *listen*. Healing circles, gong baths, guided meditations, and other curated ceremonies are great healing. We talk about that a lot on the show. Great spirit is everywhere. But get clear about when you are insulating yourself in an echo chamber of likeness. Get objective, Dreamweaver. Is everyone in that room similar to you in more than one way? Are you reinforcing the path to spiritual growth in a yoga pose?

3.) Change your Obligations: Doing doing doing so much lately? Awesome. But are you hustling or aligning? My friend Kendra asked me that the other day. If you want to be where the people are, you aren’t going to get there with the hustle. You need to align. And the first step to that is offering to Help. Ask your guides for some help with what helping looks like.

4.) Embrace Disclosure. No, I don’t mean the day aliens reveal themselves… although that’s coming. I mean admit when you are working on something. You’ll be welcomed or at least admired for being truthful. What are you working on? You don’t need to publish it, or shout it on social media, but find a trusted source or safe space to disclose. You’ll find it brings you closer to people. Remember, It’s ok to say I’m working on “let me meditate/pray/noodle/sit with that” And then go do that. Sit with it. Maybe ask for some help from your team of guides in the astral realm. You’re not alone.

Psst: I reference a few phenomenal creators…

**E27 – Witch ‘Coming Out’ Toolkit with Writer & Speaker Free L’Amour** May 30, 2018
Today’s episode is a witch’s ‘coming out’ toolkit featuring Free L’Amour, a poet, teacher, speaker, and healer for a modern age. Get radically inspired to come forward with your gifts or “spirit will put you back on the shelf.” Learn about how free ‘came out’ as a witch and why she’s so passionate about embracing the mother goddess to balance the world. We get real deep into different tools and tactics of her witch’s practice — working with nature, tarot, HooDoo, dance and more.

Are you ready to live a life of magick? Ask some hard questions. Sit alone in the light and dark of yourself. Get right with who you are, Dreamweaver. All else? “Chuck that shit in the fuck it bucket.”

Are you a Witch Coming Out? Connect with Free for spell books, courses, magickal products, and more. Psssst: A few decks we geek out on (Free’s “fantastic four”): Isis Oracle Deck, Goddess Tarot Deck, Divination Oracle, Magical Dimensions. Free also loves the Witch’s Oracle.

Special thank you to my sister Katie for introducing me to Free. She found her on Instagram and took her online course. She was transformed and free to move deeper into her witch-work…and so will you after today’s cast.

**E26 – Common Magickal Terms Unpacked feat. Rock ‘n Roll Shaman** May 23, 2018
The magikcal, mystical community throws a lot of fancy words around. What does ascension mean? What is a “*Light Body*” or a *“Merkaba”?* Is there a difference between magick and magic? What does it mean to be spiritually *enlightened*?

Today’s spirited cast digs into some common spiritual and self-identity words used in everyday conversation… that is, if you’re rolling with a woo woo posse. We turn to Andye Murphy, the Rock ‘n Roll Shaman, a spiritual healing practitioner, to weigh in personally and professionally. We cover sex magick, sacred masculine, sapphism and feminism. It’s a wild ride with some big language.

Remember, Dreamweaver, we all have limitations based on life experience and worldview. These are big terms with connections into a myriad of spiritual faiths. Further, Andye and I (your host, Amy Lynn) have different spiritual practices, sexual orientations, and life experiences. We disagree at times. You might disagree. I encourage you to check in on what resonates and leave the rest. Alternatively, discuss the cast with a friend and/or write to us at Witchcraftsy@gmail.com. We’re open to your feedback or suggestions for more terms to tackle.

**E25 – Queer Hip-Hop, Violating Expectations with Producer & Rapper Kitty Crimes** May 08, 2018
It’s high time you meet Maria Kohler, my friend and the woman behind the theme music and editing of your favorite weekly witch show. There’s more to Maria aka Kitty Crimes, a rapper, editor, producer, and queer hip-hop artist with a deep and meaningful magickal practice.

In today’s episode, Kitty Crimes reminds us to violate other’s expectations for us through queer hip-hop and other methods. Do things that freak you out. Have fun. Play a little. Be in your sexual energy. We dig into some examples of how the ‘live fast, die young’ mentality can be harnessed to really LET GO and allow your creative energy flow. Kitty Crimes will open magical underground wormholes of goodness – the spaces and places that aren’t monetized to hell yet and can hold depth, power, and simple wisdom.

A bit more…

When Witchcraftsy started we needed an editor. We knew it had to be someone “tapped in” to what we were creating. As you learned in E21 with Jen Korte, we often turn our work over to producers and editors that don’t GET our craft. We run the risk of losing the heart of our creation. In other words, editors and producers can hold the power to decide *what’s meaningful or not.* We’re over the moon to have Kitty Crimes as our editor and co-producer.

Check out some queer hip-hop good shit with Maria’s new album on Spotify and check the FULL song of “Magic.” Follow Kitty’s adventures on Instagram. Share her music with a friend or catch an upcoming show. Hire her to DJ or produce your work.

Psssst: if you haven’t written us a review, please throw us some love on iTunes. We’re 100% self-funded today so all the reviews help boost our listenership.

**E24 – Spiritual Factors of Illness & Health with Herbalist Raven Rose** May 01, 2018
Raven Rose with Moon Medicine is an herbalist and diviner working to uncover the spiritual factors of illness and health. Her path unfolded when she started her own personal searching to heal her endometriosis. She turns to the earth and plants for remedies and supports the path with Tarot to call in helpful ancestors for healing. What did you inherit from your ancestral lineage that might be causing your illness? How do you connect with them to your ancestors to heal the spiritual factors that could cause illness? Here are a few helpful steps to connect with your ancestors…

Set up an ancestral altar

Start an ancestral meditation with those who can help you

Give offerings to ancestors

Raven also shares some wisdom from her course Menstruation in the Moon – another helpful arena for understanding spiritual factors of illness and health. How to track your cycle and get more familiar with the flow of your own body. We cover so much in today’s show, including plant brushing, favorite common plants, and how to get started if you don’t have a green thumb. Connect with Raven Rose on social media, read her blog, or find her reading and teaching courses about spiritual factors of illness and health at RitualCravt School, or in private practice.

**E23 – Your Creative Process feat. Rock ‘n Roll Shaman Andye Murphy** Apr 24, 2018
How does the divine flow through you, Dreamweaver? Today is all about your creative process.

What’s your creative process on your own or in community? Do you get in the way of your own creative process unfolding? Are you ready to expand your view of ‘what’s creative.’ Is creativity your imagination or intuition? Is all creativity divinely inspired?

Our beloved Andye Murphy, the Rock ‘n Roll Shaman and your host Amy Lynn dance around with topics of creativity and creative process that can evolve throughout your life. Give yourself permission to play and craft, Dreamweaver. Maybe it’s time to stop holding onto your creative projects and release them to the world.

Also… we owe you a reading of “Kindness” by Naomi Shihab Nye. But in case you don’t want to wait, here she is reading it herself. Doesn’t get better than that, eh?

**E22 – Healing Movement – Rainbow Militia Aerial Performers Amber Blaise & Staza Stone** Apr 16, 2018
The odd, the peculiar, the sweet freak of being incarnated… I think of all these curious things with aerial and circus performers. The circus as a powerful arena where women are strong, talented, leaders. Aerial is also where performers and audience members engage in healing movement together. Today’s show we talk to Amber Blais and Staza Stone with Denver’s Rainbow Militia. This group of five women are behind many of the top aerial shows in Denver and graciously let us into their world. We talk about healing movement and self-expression. We cover TRUST that goes into performing with others in such a high-stress environment. Maybe these two Dreamweavers will inspire you to give something that scares you a GO? Below are some show dates, but don’t be sad if you miss them or aren’t in Denver. You can take classes or attend a Rainbow Militia practice. Follow them on insta! Outside the Denver area? We suggest searching for “learn aerial nearby” and if you can’t find anything, maybe start with a gymnastics class or aerial yoga. Both options will work on foundational skills needed to start flying through the air with the greatest of ease Upcoming shows! Invisible Circus The Levitt Pavilion Show Like this episode? Check out Kris Drickey in a previous episode. She often collaborates with Wonderbound, the dance company today’s guest Amber Blaise works for!

**E21 – One Magickal Musician Working Hard on Her Craft with Jen Korte** Apr 10, 2018
Witches working hard on their craft! We love singer/songwriter Jen Korte with Lady Gang. She’s a radically talented musician and puts on a damn fine show. But there’s more behind the performance – the entertainment – what you *see on stage.* Jen Korte teaches us that to truly become masterful at your craft, it takes practice, mentorship (giving back), fostering community, and a curious mind. This episode with inspire you to savor your creative process, and find the motivation to work for your craft.

Learn what happened when Jen first picked up an instrument, and how she’s continued to iterate and evolve her music into her own special brand of witchcraftsy devotion to the beat.

Jen is a well-respected and talented musician working on several professional projects at once. You’ll find Jen Korte surrounded by pedals and guitars with her new solo act Lady Gang. You might also catch her performing with her signature band Jen Korte and the Loss, or on stage as the new front-woman for the well-respected cover band Gin Doctors in Denver, CO.

**E20 – Dr. Caitlin O’Connor: Naturopathic Healing & Ancient Women’s Wisdom** Apr 02, 2018
We’ve talked a lot about death on the Witchcraftsy Podcast. With Spring Equinox just behind us, it’s a prime time to chat birth, babies, and the female body.

**E19 – Comedian Courtney LeDuc: The Lover** Mar 17, 2018
You’ve heard me talk about Courtney, my sweetheart, and partner in life. We found each other at the end of a long dusty road and decided to build something magical there together. To celebrate our first anniversary, I wanted to share this dreamiest of Dreamweavers with you. It’s the story of how we first met and how we’re learning to love differently with each other.

Courtney is an inspiring life-long educator and hilarious stand-up Comedian. Her comedy is often about gender, teaching, growing up as a native Coloradoan, and the humor in everyday nonsense. She also happens to look damn fine in a suit. Swoon.

E18 – Shamanic Practitioner Genie Hobbs on Trauma Therapy Mar 13, 2018

I first met brilliant trauma therapist and shamanic practitioner Genie Hobbs at a course called ‘Death as an Ally.’ With the guide of a drum and softly spoken words, she brought us to a journey space where death showed up. For me, Death was a little shy, playful, and as curious about me as I was about it. I thought about how unlikely an ally Death might seem, but how essential it is to living fully.

Genie has built a career as a licensed clinical social worker, fortified by indigenous wisdom from her years of shamanic study. She works with individuals and couples recovering from trauma, leads groups of students into retreat on sacred land, and teaches seminars. In today’s episode, our discussion spans a world of topics including travel, healing touch, attachment, and celebrating her 60th birthday. We revisit the lessons I picked up from that death seminar, and also discuss another surprising ally in healing – the Tobacco plant.

At times there is discomfort in taking responsibility for your own path and truth, but Genie Hobbs is here to remind you it’s all part of the shamanic way. We just need a little bit of space to let our pain unwind and release the trauma we’re holding.
