Episode 52: Arcanum with a Crossover
Monday Sep 05, 2022
Monday Sep 05, 2022
Well, it's been nearly a pandemic since last we chatted. But huzzah! It is happening! It's a short episode because I'm exploring something new and weird. This discussion on Arcanum (what is Arcanum? well, listen and learn and discover that it's nothing new, but perhaps conveniently labelled) was not only recorded for here, as audio, but also livestreamed on YouTube!
That's right, if you're inclined you can watch me babble instead of just listening to it. And yeah, it's a rough episode because being watched is so much stranger than just being listened to.
Much love, fellow seekers.
Blessings of the wyrd and wyld to you.
Violet.

Episode 51: Communicating, Accepting, Witnessing
Sunday Apr 05, 2020
Sunday Apr 05, 2020
Greetings and salutations, to one and to all,
You could say that this episode is a part 2 to episode 49, expanding into some specifics around places to employ that REAL connected communication. But since it was planned first, is it really part 2? It's a more tangential relationship, I think, though still around communication.
We discuss 3 invitations/challenges on communication:
1) accepting apologies
2) letting people be in a difficult space, holding space for them and reflecting
3) witnessing people as they truly are
Good times ending with difficult times.
With love, service, and the blessings of the deep and wild

Episode 49: REAL Connected Communication
Sunday Mar 08, 2020
Sunday Mar 08, 2020
Greetings and salutations, my friends,
This episode is ALL about communication, REAL connected communication to be exact. R(espectful)E(xperiential)A(uthentic)L(oving) connected communication. What does that mean, how does it work, a slight commentary on two common less-than-productive responses (the martyr and the demon), and an honouring of the courage it takes to do it.
Blessings of the deep and wild to you,

Episode 48: TREASURE!
Monday Feb 10, 2020
Monday Feb 10, 2020
There be treasure...somewhere, mateys! It be somewhere.
Yes, this podcast episode is about exploring a potential new working tool: Treasure. A little commentary on holding two realities at the same time for exploring and making space for change happens too. Okay, some other randomish other commentaries also happen (like the structure of existence), but mostly, this is about treasure.
Blessings of the deep and wild to you,

Episode 47: Ramblings on Soma, Will, Invitations and the Anxiety of Living
Wednesday Jan 15, 2020

Greetings and salutations,
I could try and tell you what this episode is about, to entice you into the rambling madness that is, well, this. But that would suggest that there was intense focus and intentionality to what was done...and I feel like that is a stretch.
I get into my terror and anxiety that sabotaged my life choices, then take a left into flipping some standard witchy perspectives and finish with a slide into the end of the world as we know it and the beginning of exploring ways to engage with that.
Blessings of the deep and wild, my loves,

Episode 46: I Grieve
Wednesday Dec 26, 2018
Wednesday Dec 26, 2018
'Tis the dark time of the year (for us Northern hemispherers), a time to go internal, to rest with our inner darkness, or in my case, grief. We are not well equipped in modern north american society to deal with grief, yet here we are, living it. Exploring that, the important power of perspective and a few other things be the topic of this episode.
Blessings of the deep and wild to you,
Violet, the Abysmal Witch
