Burlesque, Witchcraft, Fire Magic, and the Power of Self-Love

Your Average Witch Podcast

What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?

What if you could channel the magic within you through dance and fire? This week, we bring you an electrifying conversation with Darlina Marie, also known as Chula Sparks, a fire and fusion burlesque performer and jewelry artist from El Paso, Texas. Darlina opens up about her journey from being labeled a witch at a young age due to her inherited gift of mediumship to fully embracing her identity. We'll explore the rich intersections of witchcraft, cultural appropriation, and spirituality, and how movement and dance can serve as potent forms of magic for the body and soul.
Ever wondered what modern witchcraft rituals look like? Darlina gives us an insider's glimpse into her daily practices, including her unique connection with fire and the moon, and her experiences with otherworldly entities. Her rituals involving white candles, movement, and dance are fascinating, especially her fire dancing at a four-way crossroads—a practice tied to the goddess Hecate. We also discuss the skepticism surrounding the growing popularity of witchcraft and mediumship, and Darlina offers invaluable advice on maintaining spiritual and physical energy amidst the stresses of everyday life.
But it's not just about rituals and practices; it's about empowerment, self-love, and navigating imposter syndrome. Darlina shares her personal experiences with Dia de los Muertos and how embracing her mediumship and body through burlesque has inspired others. From heartfelt stories of reclaiming hurtful labels to the whimsical love story with her husband, this episode is filled with wisdom, inspiration, and a touch of magic. Join us for a transformative discussion that promises to uplift your spirit and ignite your inner fire.
