Psychic Skills - Saturn Return and the Tarot with Cardsy B

Rebecca Szymczak, aka Cardsy B, is an author, intuitive tarot reader and energy alchemist.

During her Saturn Return, Rebecca lost "everything" - her marriage, her dear friend and mentor, her high powered career, and literally all of her money. The tarot became an accessible and powerful tool for Rebecca, that allowed her to connect to her true self and access her intuition. Rebecca began pulling a card a day for herself, then reading for friends and former colleagues, and slowly transitioned out of the fashion world to provide energy and tarot readings full time.

Rebecca’s new book, The Saturn Diaries, reveals how she transitioned from fashion bitch to wellness bitch. Part Memoir and part grimoire (or spell book), each chapter concludes with a spell, elixir or ritual she created on her healing journey of discovery and self-remembrance. This book is a call-to-action for anyone ready to embrace their inner witch and create their own magic.

In this episode, Gemma and Rebecca discuss Rebecca’s origin story and her alias, Cardsy B, how different tarot cards relate to the chapters of Rebecca’s book, Rebecca’s self-illustrated tarot deck, and how Rebecca’s psychic abilities developed and evolved during this period of her life.

The Seasons - Almanacs with Lia Leendertz

Lia Leendertz is a seasonal expert, writer, and host of As the Season Turns Podcast. She produces a yearly almanac which is currently on its fifth edition.

Lia's almanacs reinvent the tradition of the rural almanac for a new audience. They gives you the tools and inspiration you need to celebrate, mark and appreciate each month of the year in your own particular way, providing practical information that gives access to the outdoors and the seasons - perfect for expeditions, meteor-spotting nights and beach holidays. There are also features on each month’s unique nature, such as the meteor shower of the month, beehive behaviour, folklore, seasonal recipes and charts tracking moon phases and tides.

This week, Gemma and Lia discuss what almanacs are and how they have been used for centuries, Lia's writing process and how this has changed her perspective on seasonal change, and how dog walking is an exercise in seasonal mindfulness.

Modern Witchcraft - An Introduction to Modern Witchcraft with Desiree Diaz

This week kicks off a new monthly topic - modern witchcraft - and rather than the usual solo episode, Gemma talks to witch and shamanic practitioner Desiree Diaz.

Desiree is also an energy healer, womb healing and Sacred Circle facilitator. Through her close relationship with Plant Spirits, she has facilitated a deeper connection with nature and guidance that the Spirits wanted to share with people. As a Sacred Space holder and Certified Global Sisterhood Circle Facilitator, she loves creating safe Circles to share moments of wisdom and emotional healing through meditation and sacred rituals. Desiree's oracle card readings are a deeply personal way to connect with any messages that come through from our spirit guides by the cards or clairvoyant messages. Through her Womb healing and Yoni steaming she helps people reconnect to their womb and bring healing with any issues relating to cycles, while her Reiki energy session helps release stuck energies and make you feel grounded.

Gemma and Desiree talk about the different types of witches and witchcraft, how and why to join a coven, the wheel of the year, shamanism, advice for new witches, and overcoming old witchcraft stigmas and stereotypes.
