Listen "Juniper, Abstinence, and Shamanism vs Witchcraft; the Sat Upon a Toadstool Advice Colum — EP 3"
Episode Synopsis
Hey y'all, I hope the shifting winds of May have kept you warm, and that wildflowers are finding their way to you wherever you may step. I am currently holed up in the trunk of a Rowan tree, counting the petals on a daisy; join me as we speak of graceful Juniper, of spiritual purity, of blessed oils, and of the dynamics of the witch and the shaman in this episode of the Sat Upon a Toadstool Advice Column.
Questions covered in today's episode include:
"Juniper's uses outside of cleansing?"
"How important is purity/abstention from sexual activities when adapting grimoiric magic into personal practice? I noticed many say to abstain for at least a week along with fasting."
"How do you balance having multiple altars with executive dysfunction? I've tried the weekly thing people suggest, but it did not work long..."
"If you wanted to draw truth out in a relationship what magic would you use?"
"I recently bought a really rough used bible. Do u have any tips for cleansing an item that might have had a bad history or was formerly possessed by a person in turmoil? Should I even keep it?"
"Do you have advice on creating oils of consecration for those not practicing from a Christian faith?"
"What kind of working would you recommend for calling in a job that is aligned with one's needs + paid well?"
"Hello I am Listening to your pod cast I appreciate your views but I feel you are a shaman."
Sat Upon a Toadstool is a lighthearted podcast dedicated to exploring the lived experience of Witchcraft through the lens of spirit relationship, folk magic, land veneration, and mediation between the world of the living and the next. Your host, Mahigan Saint-Pierre, is comfortably seated in increasingly odd corners of the woods chatting with god-knows-what critter as they sip on strange brews and chat about all things witchcraft, occult, and spiritual.
