Episode 018: The Geminati + Witchery + Religion

TwinStar Podcast

The Geminati jump in and talk about magick. Ginger and Kat share their different paths and approaches. Ginger is in Witch Skewl this year and is interested in a path of initiation to deepen her knowledge. Kat's resistance to a deep dive in magick is due to spiritual studies and dabbling in divination. She's wary of "religion," but seeing where her curiosity leads. Ginger has been on a conscious magickal path for much longer than Kat, and she confesses (ha!) her love for Catholic ritual and ceremony. The Gems talk about the downside of religion turning people into sheep, where they turn off and regurgitate rather than continually question and grow.

Ultimately the Gems discuss doing good things in community to bolster rather than segregate it. What does this look like? How do you do good? There are so many ways including volunteerism and one on one connections. It often comes down to drilling into you and doing deeper work. In magick they suggest getting your ritual to tap into deeper currents to discover what's really important to you. Do the work to open yourself to new channels of information to come through and undo programming, then step outside yourself and help someone at least once a week! However it shows up or any way you can. You'll be surprised how this feeds you and deepens your sense of community and connection in the world at large.
