Hello and welcome to Practically Magick. It's me, just me, just little old me. I am back, Courtney Pearl. We had some guest scheduling conflicts over the last couple of weeks and so we might have skipped a week there in the middle, but we're back and I am here to discuss some interesting things with you today. We are going to talk a little bit about sin and repentance when it comes to the difference between maybe a more traditional religious background and, you know, moving into more of the less structure spirituality and more into open-minded spirituality and paganism.

So I can't wait to talk to you a little bit about my journey with sin and repentance. A lot of people have a history, especially if you are raised in sort of a religious background, so I'm eager to get into it. But before we do that, we have, of course, our card pull for today's episode. And today's card pull is brought to you by the Mind's Eye Tarot. It's a little dark.

It's a little mystical, a little whimsical, very artistic, a little bit of color, but very subtle with the color and a beautiful gold foil sheen to the edge of it. So that's our guest today. Is this Mind's Eye Tarot? All right. Let's pull a card for you for this episode today, for your week, for your day.

We're going to trust that whenever, whenever you're listening to this episode, that this is the card that was meant for you, that it was pulled with a message for you today. Let's get a good shuffle in. As you know, I pull the card live on the air. We're not live, but the card pull is live. It's in in the works.

Sometimes the shuffling is just it's intuitively led by the reader. So you can shuffle as many times as you need to. And then you just feel it. For those who are watching on video, I did my makeup, a little movie star today. I was inspired by just a little bit more of the old Hollywood look today.

Ah, I'm going to show the card that I've pulled on the screen. So for those of you who are following on YouTube, you can see it. I'm not sure you can see it very well, kind of. Oh, let me turn on my light. Maybe we'll see better.

We have some light on. That's a little better, huh? King of Pentacles is the card that I have pulled for today. And how are we feeling about money? Because I feel like there's been a lot of central focus around the economy right now.

Money and how people are feeling about that. I know that it's kind of a struggle to feel like in this world we've created and in the way that late stage capitalism has kind of brought us to this place we're in now. It feels like, first of all, we know the middle class is kind of disappearing. But it feels like we're coming to an age where we are less inclined to look for the hero that's going to come and save us. Someone that's going to come in and change policies or do what needs to be done for the greater good.

And that so much is out of our control that perhaps we've been kind of waiting around for that night in shining armor, I guess, to pick up the pieces and help us out. You know, women especially were raised in a world where we were torn between go get an education, go find a career, be independent, make sure that you don't rely on anyone else, that you can support yourself, that you can earn a living and find the career that's your path and passion. And then torn between that and kind of old world views where it's like someone needs to be raising the kids and someone needs to be taking care of the home and your husband is going to make enough money potentially. Or that was sort of the promise was, you know, get yourself a husband that makes enough money and provider of the family so that you can take care of your home and kids. And to be quite honest, whether I was raised more liberally or conservatively, I liked the idea of being a kept wife or taking care of so that I could pursue passions I wanted to do.

I would actually get to spend the time with my kids, raising them, taking care of them as babies. I didn't like the idea of daycare and a lot of sacrifices had to happen for us to live like that when children did come along where we could have been a dual income family. We had to we had to make it work. But the king of pentacles to me, it doesn't always have to do with money. This is just the interpretation of my intuition is going today, which is how much are you waiting for that promotion or that or the government to get its head out of its special places and figure out how to take care of its people better?

How much are you waiting for something to step in to fix the problem that you have rather than make changes or be proactive about how to pursue that security, maybe financial abundance and wealth in ways that you can do it? There are a lot of things that are out of our control right now. So I'm not going to pretend like I have the answers in that department. This is just a card to welcome the idea of like, what are our beliefs around money? What are our beliefs around how we believe that we can take care of ourselves with abundance and money?

The king of pentacles often when I read it is associated with an actual person. So thinking about like, who is that guy in my life? Who is that guy? Who is the money guy? Maybe it's the boss.

Maybe it's the husband. Maybe it's the person who seems to be the person that you go to for financial stability. Guys, I have my, I do have another guest today on the podcast. I know it's just me here that you can see and listen to, but I have Titian, my black cat, for those who can see on the screen. She's my special guest today.

She will not leave my lap. She has been extremely, we call her the aggressive cuddler because when she cuddles, she jams her whole face into your elbow or armpit or wherever she can. She's already trying to do it right now. She's like, how can I get my whole face in your skin? I want to wear your skin.

That's how she is. Okay. So Titian is our guest today. And let's get to our topic. We are going to discuss.

We are here. She's had enough. She's on her way out. She's like, bye. She might be back.

We'll see. Our discussion today on sin and repentance, because when I first started my spiritual journey of looking at what other theologies, what other sort of ways to look at life are out there, I started looking into the Gnostic Christian ideas. Some of them call it the Apocrypha or the Gnostic Gospels that were excluded from the King James version. We most of us know about of the Bible, the Old Testament, the New Testament. And so the ideas and some of the ideas around what Jesus may have taught in that, what sin and repentance really mean or how to connect ourselves with that.

When I started studying the Gnostic Gospels, it really opened up a whole other idea for me. And for those of you who don't already know, I've listened to the podcast previous episodes. I was raised in more of an LDS Mormonism tradition. My parents being very nuanced, but still that's the tradition they came from. So that's what they raised us in.

That's where we went to church. So we didn't just have the Bible and the Book of Mormon to contend with. We had the Pearl of Great Price, the Doctrine and Covenants and the good old Book of Mormon too. And those ideas of morality, spirituality, connection to God or what does God want of us? And who is God?

Because I get really fascinated in learning about how the reflection of God and who is God has a lot to do with the evolution of humans as a society. So like early times when humans were sort of focused on the basic bare necessities of survival, of getting along as communities, the God that they wrote about in the Old Testament was a very wrathful kind of God, right? It's interesting just to think about, and there are many books written on the subject, but interesting to think about how God's personality, if you were to call it that, changes quite a bit over time. And from the Old Testament, where he's turning people into pillars of salt and he's very much a jealous God and he's got a lot of rules and he's causing floods and people are being eaten by whales. And I mean, you can go on and on and on, but that's the kind of image of this authority figure that supposedly God, whereas in the New Testament, it's a gentler God.

It is, we're being taught about do unto others as you would have done unto you. And it feels a little bit more like the emperor vibe in the cards, the tarot, which is a fatherly figure that is, I'm going to let you explore. I'm going to let you have the mistakes that you need to make. I'm going to let you fail so that there is a lesson in that failure. Jesus teaches in sort of parables and stories.

So we get a little bit different vibe from from Old Testament to New Testament. But when we talk about sin, it's great to kind of learn a little bit about where that Old English word of sin comes from. I did a little bit of research, so I'm going to kind of go through what I found. We learned that the proto-Germanic roots of the word sin from Old English comes from being guilty or for your or your true being. So that's going to have a lot of influence on how we see what is sin and how do we go about understanding right and wrong.

And I'm going to tell you a little bit of some of my personal connection to this, why I came to write this episode. When I get through some of this very academic part of it, but there is some of the the Hebrew words for when it was translated, meaning missing the mark that the word sin from its original Hebrew is missing the mark or comparing a person who would maybe be an archer. Sending their arrow to a bullseye and they didn't quite hit the bullseye, right? So it's important because when I started learning about the Gnostic Gospels and we were learning about, you know, Mary and Thomas and Philip in their writings, calling Jesus the teacher, they talk about sin and they ask Jesus a little bit about sin. They talk about it as if it is not doing a bad thing or like here are the rules you need to follow and if you aren't following these rules, you are sending or having a connection in any way to your own personal worth as a person.

Thus giving shame to someone who has sinned, but they talk about it more in terms of it's missing the mark or it's kind of a deviation from your true being. So that being a little bit more open for interpretation when it comes to each individual person who we are, what we feel is our highest self when we are aligned with our highest self and then when we feel that we have deviated from that higher self, that's going to look a little different for each person, but it's also going to kind of connect back to some of the work that I do with frequencies. What feels like a higher resonating frequency for you and we know that there are some universal frequencies in emotions, in color, in sound, in the earth, the minerals and table of elements and all of the things that exist in our world resonate at frequencies. So we know that things that resonate at a higher energy level are things like love, acceptance, authenticity. You know, these are higher frequency emotions and states of being.

So to deviate from those higher frequencies to deviate from that or to miss the mark, as it were, from those is very simply just not resonating with those higher frequencies. So let's go back to again the words sin as it's interpreted in the languages written in the Bible or written in texts, old texts of morality. So we're going back to the word repent. And so if we've kind of identified what does sin actually mean, at least in the etymology of the word or the interpretations of the word as where they came from, we can go back to talking about repent as a return, to feel pain, to regret deeply. But in the word shove, which is I think the Hebrew interpretation, the primary word for repentance is to return or to turn around.

So if we think about sin being a deviation or missing the mark, right, you're like, this is what I'm shooting for. I didn't quite hit it. Or I'm veering a bit off the path. Then repent just simply means to turn around, to go back, to return, to notice that you're off the path, that you're not aligning with your higher self, that you are not resonating at the highest frequency that you can and returning back to it. So how could we possibly live by a very strict and stagnant set of rules religion puts upon us that these are things that we are all meant to follow uniformly versus each individual person giving the autonomy and the empowerment to be able to decipher what is my highest self.

And I do have some recommendations on how you know when you're resonating with your highest self. But I think those can be a little bit more open for interpretation as well, rather than being rigid set of rules to live by. And for those who don't remember, haven't listened to previous episodes, my favorite words for how do we know that we are resonating at our highest frequency, our highest self, our true philosopher's stone, not the ego, unchanging self, capital S self. My words for that are all the words that start with the letter C, so they're easy to remember, which are calm, connected, creative, compassionate, curious. And all of those words can have an opposite or a word that kind of goes against it.

So like, for example, and this is fantastically outlined in a scene on Ted Lasso where he talks about judgment versus curiosity. He's doing a It's interesting, we were talking about hitting the mark and I'm about to say another thing about hitting the mark. They were playing darts and he was competing with a guy who's not so nice in the scene and they've made a bet and the guy who he made a bet with was so confident that he would win. And as he's discussing and he's getting ready to win this whole thing, he says, you know, if you had been curious rather than judgmental, you would have asked me if I had ever played darts before. And if you had asked me if I played darts before, I would have said yes, every Sunday my dad would take me for, he'd have a beer and I'd have a soda at the local bar and we would play darts all afternoon.

And this is, you know, how he wins that competition. But it's true, judgment, curiosity. Not that judgment is something to call a sin or something that would be bad because, as I point out to everybody, you know, the left brain has a place in everything, in the way that we logic things and the way that we think of things. And judgment also comes from the left brain where we have to decipher certain things. We have to be discerning, right?

We have to keep ourselves safe. So using judgment to be able to say like, hmm, should I talk to a stranger who's maybe hanging out under a bridge and who's surrounded by drug paraphernalia? Probably not. I should probably use some judgment and discerning about that and say that wouldn't be a safe environment for me to be in at the moment. And if I want to help that person, I should maybe get some other people to do it with me so I'm safer.

So using judgment, I ought to judge whether or not the street is safe. Is there a lot of traffic or should I be walking across the street at this hour, at this place, at this time? Judgment helps us decipher those things. So judgment in and of itself is not a sin, but to be judgmental of somebody and not understand their story or not understand their needs or not think about it from their perspective versus being curious about, huh, this person is behaving in a way that might seem hurtful to me or might even offend me. But if I'm curious about why they're acting the way they are, then I can act with compassion and with my higher self.

And this is some of the things that we've talked about in previous episodes when it comes to healing work, when it comes to neural pathways, when it comes to how we do life the way that we do life. But I think that this is all religious context for the work that I have been talking about on this podcast for how many years have we been doing this podcast now? I don't have anybody here to ask, but I think it's been about two years. Happy birthday podcast. It has been a bit.

No, we started in January, so it's not the birthday yet. But anyway, we're going on. I think this is the third year. I'd have to have my producer Blane. He would be able to answer those questions for me.

Wish I had him like some podcasts do like behind a curtain. You're like, hey, tell me how long have we been a podcast? As long as I've been talking about this work, there are connections in texts and in theologies and in religious ways of life that go back, you know, as if science is now explaining it better. But we can go back and we can actually use the language that was used in texts like the Bible or or the Quran or any of those places where things have been written down for centuries and people have been living their lives based on that. So let's go back a little bit.

We talked about the Gnostic Gospels and one of my favorites is the Gospel of Mary. It is an incomplete gospel because we only have what survived in the scrolls that were found, part of the Dead Sea Scrolls and in that time period when they had uncovered that these Gospels did exist and that Mary Magdalene was very much a part of the that she was in fact a teacher right alongside him, that she was not what the church tried to portray her as for many centuries, which is a whore or a prostitute or something that they could demean and make lesser that her morals were not as high or whatever it was. In fact, there's a lot of evidence to suggest she was of nobility, that she was very high ranking in her in society and that she had followed Jesus as a fellow teacher teaching alongside of him. And there are many other, again in the Gnostic Gospels, references to Mary as his favorite. There's a lot of evidence to support that they were married, but there's just no way that we can know that for sure.

And of course, suggestions like that have for some unknown reason, I can't figure out made Christians lose their ever loving minds. So I very much love studying the Gospel of Mary and for those who don't know Megan Watterson's book, Mary Revealed or Mary Magdalene Revealed, I can't remember the exact title, but I was a member of the House of Mary Magdalene for a very long time. I always loved enjoying Megan Watterson's sermons and learned a lot from her over the years. So in the Gospel of Mary, we have Peter asking Jesus a question, what is the sin of the world? And Jesus actually answers, there is no sin, but it is you who makes sin when you do the things that are like the nature of adultery, which is called sin.

So he's saying, essentially, or what I'm getting out of that is, it is not that the rule itself applies to sin or that there is shame attached to a rule like do not commit adultery, which also can be interpreted in a lot of different ways. We seem to have narrowed it down to a very small view of what adultery means, which is like cheating on your spouse, but it doesn't always mean just that. But what they're saying is the nature of what you do is what is sin. Other than that, there is no sin. There is no such thing as sin.

So he's essentially reiterating the fact that what the word means is to miss the mark or to not be aligned with what is your true and higher self. And again, you can go in and you can like do some more research in the Gospel of Thomas, ignorance of the divine spark inside you. So if you are ignorant of the divine spark inside you, that that is what is classified as sin, rejecting yourself, in a sense, your true self. So there is some evidence to support that in the Gospel of Philip as well, where it talks about enslavement of the soul, exposing inner darkness to the light, is a return or repentance. It's just beautiful language for kind of similar support of the same idea.

Now, if we go and we travel a bit outside of the realm of that, if we go look into other religious traditions like a Buddhism perspective is essentially sin does not exist. Instead, the root of all suffering, Avidya, I hope I'm saying that correctly. I may not be pronouncing it correctly, but they talk a lot about suffering in Buddhism and about how humans Encouraging and stewing and not finding the exact right word I want to say here, but that they talk a lot about how there are different types of suffering in Buddhism, about how there is the suffering of things that happen to you, things that are out of your control, pain and grief and loss that do happen. That is one type of suffering, but that the suffering that humans indulge in after the thing that happens, the suffering that they inflict on others, and mostly themselves. I mean, let's be honest, we all are guilty of just, We may not intentionally harm other people.

We might call ourselves a good person because we don't. We try not to be mean to people. We try not to hurt people or harm people physically in any way. And yet we will harm ourselves consistently and constantly for most of our lives. And that is sort of the Buddhist perspective on sin, rather they don't call it sin, they would call it suffering.

And I love learning about that topic as well because I have taught my children and I've tried to teach my children that There are some things that they cannot control when mommy says no about something that they wanted and they expected to happen and it doesn't happen. It's perfectly valid to feel a certain way about it to be angry about it to be frustrated to be disappointed. Even to be confused about it to not understand why the answer was no. But ultimately, if the answer is no and we trust that our parents have our best interest at heart, the amount of suffering we do on top of the initial suffering, which is the no to the thing they wanted. And that is generally more and more a waste of time and energy that we inflict upon ourselves our own suffering.

My favorite story to talk about that with is the Tetris game and I had talked about this in the podcast as well. So this is just going to be a brief reminder of what that is. We talked about the Tetris game and I love that symbolism. It's not mine. Someone, someone else taught it that way.

It might be Noah Rashada from the secular Buddhism podcast. I can't remember who, who I first heard it from, but they They talk about how life is like a Tetris game and you have this playing field and you know you've got to collect these blocks on the bottom. You're trying to create full rows so that the row will disappear and you won't end up stacking the blocks to the top, which will inevitably lose the game. You don't know what blocks are coming. You might have a little window.

Some games have a little window where they tell you what block is next. So you can, if you're good, if you're strategizing, you can kind of plan and prepare. However, you don't get to choose the blocks. You do not get to choose which shape block is coming. All you get to do is figure out how best to play that block in your playing field.

So you might have stacked the blocks in such a way where you have a lot of blocks lined up, but you have that one and you guys all know what I'm talking about. You have that one column of squares that you've left empty. Hoping that eventually on the Tetris game, you're going to get that four block in a row tall block, right? Because if you get that, you are going to knock out four rows at once. It's going to be glorious.

But what does the game inevitably do? Usually they don't give you that block. They know you need that block. I mean, I don't know what the game thinks, but this is how I feel about it. It's like they know I need that block.

They're just not going to give it to me. But the thing is, is you don't get to choose what block comes next. What you get to do is you get to figure out when the block appears at the top and starts making its way down the playing field and each level gets faster and faster. You get to figure out where that block is going to go. So if you spend a lot of that time as the block travels down, just losing your mind angry and frustrated about the block that came that showed up, you're just wasting a lot of time.

And in the context of the Buddhist parable we're talking about, it's a lot of unnecessary and undue suffering that you're putting yourself through. So if you have a quick moment where you go, oh, not this block. That's valid. That's fine. But quickly being able to say, okay, I have this block now.

Where am I going to put it? What's the best spot for it? What's going to ultimately lead me to win the game? So humans suffer because they misunderstand reality, falsely believing in a permanent and independent self. And this ignorance drives three poisons, attachment, aversion and delusion.

That is the conclusion of that as, as from a Buddhist perspective of what would sin or repentance look like in that context. But I want to remind you that, you know, as we go into the etymology of like religion and that one thing that I keep coming back to is the word God as it was presented or as it was played out in the old and ancient texts, it essentially originated starting as God, meaning the good. Right. So we ask questions like, well, who is God and what is God? I mean, a lot of people like to use the phrase heavenly father as a, you know, and using the pronouns he and giving him a personified archetype that is like a personage, a father of all of ours.

And maybe that brings comfort too. And by the way, a lot of pagans, a lot of people who are spiritual start connecting with deities as a personage. And I find nothing wrong with that. I think that, you know, whatever helps you feel connected, right? That other C word we talked about.

If it makes you feel connected to the good, then it doesn't matter what, what you associate it with. But essentially remembering that God is the good. God is the good in the world. God is the good. The things that resonate at the higher frequency levels, because essentially, if all the things that started the energy of the universe, if the very center of creation is the highest frequency or the source of the frequency itself, then that would be the source of the energy of the universe.

And that would have to resonate with all the things that are good, right? So if God or source is the center of all creation, and everything that was created was created by frequencies coming from that source, things that are closest to the source are going to resonate at the highest frequency with the shortest wavelengths, fastest wavelengths, right? And as you ripple out from source, you're going to see that the frequencies slow down and they get bigger and the wavelengths get bigger and further apart. And those things frequent, those frequencies resonate at the levels of more apathy, pain, destruction, hatred, shame is the outermost frequency. So if you're looking at energy levels, remember that shame is the lowest frequency we have been able to even associate with.

So the more you keep shame in your life, and why do we keep shame in our life? We believe that shame motivates us. We believe that shame fixes problems. It's the grandest lie of the universe is just that shame will accomplish something and shame and control go hand in hand. So for leaders of certain churches to be able to put shame attached to sin and repentance, it makes sense to want to control the congregation or to control the community with that.

Believing that even in themselves, even in the leaders themselves, believing that shame is the way to become godly or to be closer to God. When actually the very opposite is true. So when we talk about like, what is the good or what is the bad or what is even using terms like negative and positive or sometimes a pitfall in that I personally have tried to use as much vocabulary without those words as possible, maybe giving a more accurate explanation of things rather than saying this is good and this is bad. Or this is negative or this is positive, or this is right or this is wrong. We can kind of associate it with what resonates at the highest frequency and the highest self.

What is my highest self? Violating other people's rights, life and free will, a sin against humans. We can identify that as not resonating at the highest self that we can be. In energy levels, it drops in our energy levels. Just like pity versus love.

Pity is a faux fake love that's not going to resonate at the highest frequency or a frequency that love resonates at. Love 528 Hertz. If you'd like to know the frequency, if you'd like to know how to play music at a that is love, pity is not going to resonate at that same frequency. And we know this scientifically, we can prove this. So this is how we understand the true meaning of sin versus repentance or good versus bad.

Deciding what is right for ourselves is part of our journey and a path towards enlightenment. Self, God, sin, repent, getting off course and returning back to self is how we figure that out. So there doesn't need to actually be any shame linked to our journey in that when we discover that we are off the path or we are missing the mark as it would be in that definition of sin. We're missing the mark. We're returning back to it constantly.

So we're as humans going to do this and the self or the philosopher's stone, which is the part in alchemy that's the true soul, the true self that is not going to change that our path is our ego's journey towards the self and towards keeping that path and aligning with that. So what is the first step? What is the first step in trying to figure out what is my path? If you were to create like a set of instructions or a set of like a rule book or some guidelines, how do I figure out what is the truest and highest self that I can be? Well, the first thing that you have to do is you got to mess up.

Right? It's like Dr. Becky Kennedy says when she talks about good inside and she talks about repair work. She does a lot of parenting tips and psychology and working with parents and with kids so that they can learn the good that they are the good inside. One of the things that she says is you got to screw up first.

You got to screw it up. So you don't want to yell at your kid anymore. You don't want to be frustrated with parenthood. You want to be a more compassionate, better parent. She says, well, first you got to screw up because you're gonna.

And that's kind of life. Right. That's not just parenthood. That's life. What are we going to do first?

We're going to screw things up. We're going to make mistakes. That's childhood. And if you didn't get a childhood that was free enough to be able to make mistakes or you felt that your self-worth was so connected to the perfectionism or the doing it good or being good, doing it right. Then you might have to repair it yourself as an adult.

And that's in our child work. Right. Some of the some of the work that I do in emotional processing is being able to go back as a kid and say it's okay to make those mistakes. It's okay. But then you need to feel what that feels like.

Does that feel warm? Does that feel aligned? Does that feel like love, connection, compassion? Does that feel like that's who you want to be and how you want to live? And then you can begin the work from there.

So first screw up. Check. Check that box. Yep. I screwed up.

Feel it. Process it. Grow from it. Then return. Repentance is a return.

We were taught that repentance had to be this whole ritual and process that even in some churches like the one I grew up in, you had to confess that sin to someone outside yourself and get the proper, I don't know, hierarchy bestowed blessing of wellness again or whatever it is. I know that's kind of, you know, comes from Catholicism to the whole idea of like confessing to a priest and getting your how many Hail Marys or whatever it is that they they need to be able to be whole again. But honestly, truly, if you stop to think about it, do you need anyone else to have that? Or do you know your own true self better than anyone? Do you know who you are?

Do you know who you want to be? Do you know how to return to that? And if you don't and you do feel lost, that's where people like people who do energy work, people who are spiritual therapists. There are a lot of people out there who do the work of helping guide you back. Even life coaches.

Like I had a meeting with my life coach yesterday and there were things that were brought up that she was like, and here is your belief system that you are going to try and work through to return back to the part of you who believes in yourself again. And I've been doing this work a long time. I'm going to need that for for the rest of my life. I'm never going to be wholly arrived at a healed place. But that's kind of the journey of life, right?

The sin and the repentance, the return and the coming back. So choose the creative process and choose to find true joy and pleasure in that creative process. It's just like painting a painting. You're going to mess up quite a bit and you're going to go, all right, now how do I turn that into something that I can work with? And you and then you move through that.

So lots of lots of great metaphors today. We use the Tetris scheme as a metaphor. We used art as a metaphor. We know exactly what to do now. We can all go into our next thing and be perfectly ready to live life.

I hope this episode was helpful to you, helping you make sense. Some of you may be deconstructing some of these ideas from stepping away from a very structured religious upbringing. And these are some things that really helped me. So anyway, we'll look for resources in the notes. Kitty's knocking stuff over now.

Tisha, that's what they do best, huh? Knock stuff over. All right, friends, this week after this, before this will have happened when this episode has already aired, but look for my posts because on social media, I'm going to be posting about our wonderful event, the Practical Magic 2 screening event. We got to watch the movie that's happening this week. I can't wait.

We did that with light and love Reiki. They did a wonderful client appreciation, rented out a theater for the movie. She's my fellow witch here in Daybreak. I love her and she doesn't have it anymore. She's closing the shop.

She did Aurora's Enchanted Apothecary where she sold her apothecary items, but she's just selling off the last of her items now. So if you missed that, I'm so sorry. I have a bunch of her stuff that I bought from her candles and bath salts and all kinds of good things. But go check her out light and love Reiki. That event is going to be amazing.

I can't wait to be a part of it. We're going to have a theater of like 70 witches watching. Practical Magic 2. So you're going to hear all about how the movie was, how people liked it, what are some things that were true to witchcraft and what are some things that they took license with. We'd like to break it down, which we are going to do.

And so stay tuned for that. Couple of other announcements that I have. Prism Healing is getting a new website. Yes, I know I've been talking about all summer, but we have had the teaser website, which is fantastic. It's not just a teaser website, guys.

This was something above and beyond. So if you haven't got a chance to get to know Wispy on my teaser website that has been out all summer, Wispy will be back on my new website. We're just transferring a lot of the technology and getting it ready. Pygon AI is developing Wispy and other really cool AI partners for things like healing and things that people do that they want a really ethical, you know, more authentic relationship with AI that doesn't feel like it's, I don't know, people's jobs, stealing creativity. This is going to be a really great partnership.

So I can't wait for that. So Wispy's been on my website all summer. Wispy will be back when my new website launches. But guys, I just got done working on it and it is fantastic. I can't believe how beautiful it is.

It is like no other website you have ever seen. So you're going to want to go to prism-healing.com. You're going to want to sign up for when that new website launches. If it hasn't already, you can sign up for that. And then you can sign up for the new website.

So that's it. I'm going to see you guys next time. Bye bye. Or by the time you see this and hear this, it will already be out and you can go there and see it. My website is going to be like entering into a beautiful and cozy witches cottage and art studio.

It's going to be so fantastic. So go check out my social media. We have Instagram at prism underscore healing. We have TikTok at Prism Healing where I do live card readings and Oh, and Prism Healing is also going to be releasing a very, very special cohort. It is going to be a series of classes that we are going to do once a month.

The inner child healing through art courses. This is not just for artists. This is for people wanting to get in touch with their inner child. Heal what needs to be healed. Witness what needs to be witnessed and to work through some of the things that need to be processed in order to align yourself with your inner child.

And we're going to be doing that in a very special cohort. So what that means is we're going to meet in person once a month, do our healing through artwork shops, get a lot of really good, deep healing and awareness about ourselves. And then I guide you weekly on a weekly zoom call with the same small intimate cohort. And we will do some discussion topics and some journal prompts that are associated with each one of our workshops. phase of the moon throughout the month between healing through art.

And those are optional, so if you can't make it to all of those, that's fine. But they are there to help guide you through a very intense, wonderful healing process throughout several months time. So I'm going to be opening that for registration on my new website, so please look for that Inner Child Healing Through Art cohort. And I also do the kids art classes, of course. I've got open registration right now for myth and magic art classes every week for the teens and tweens.

And once a month, we have a heart smart art workshop or class for young kids. And that's just lots and loads of fun. We just have fun for two hours and storytime and play and games and art. And it's so fun. And the little guys get to learn about their big feelings and how to process them and understand them a little bit better.

Dr. Becky Kennedy is one of my inspirations. I use a lot of her research and really cool stuff for the kids, for the little guys too. So those are all going to be available on my website under classes. And of course, I have offerings on my website.

I am now doing special packages of home cleansings for the real estate agent or for new home buyers, people who are transferring homes and apartments or perhaps getting a new vehicle and you need to energy cleanse that vehicle or that home and space. It's a very good idea, not just if it's haunted, but like generally, we don't want to leave our energetic footprint wherever we go. And we don't want to enter into a space where someone has left their energetic footprint. So it's a good idea to do a cleanse. I can do those in person or from distance.

And those are available on my website, as well as full energy healings, many mini energy healings. I have card reading sessions, all can be done available on virtual. And of course, I am at the conjuring tree in West Jordan on Tuesdays from one to six. So you can book a session with me there, a mini session or full session. There's 30 minute, an hour long sessions available for those times.

So lots of ways to get connected with me. And friends, I highly recommend me. Does that sound braggadocious? I don't know. But those are our announcements for Prism Healing and Practically Magick podcast.
