That Witch Life – A Podcast on Living as a Witch in Today ...



Unknown Speaker 0:00 (Intro music) 20 years ago, three young friends who realized they were witches. They scattered to different parts of the world following magic and spirit. Now, they're back in their hometown to share what they learned. Welcome to That Witch Live podcast. Your home for living as a Witch in today's world.Courtney ? 0:49 These are super fancy. I got these chocolates in New York City at Model's. This is the place where Katharine Hepburn used to get her chocolate. Hilary 0:58 So we're like super, super fancy. Courtney ? 1:00 Super super fancy because it is Valentine's day this week, so Hilary, Help yourself. Hilary 1:04 Valentine's Day is crappy but I like chocolateCourtney ? 1:09 Kanani you can have one too, but you've got a whole banquet over on your side. Kanani 1:13 I know I do. Hilary 1:14 (looking through chocolates) Like it's a mystery....Kanani 1:17 What you do is you stick your finger in each one. And then then you decide which one you want to eat. That's the ladylike way to do it. Use your pinky. That's ladylike. Hilary 1:27 No. Courtney ? 1:28 This one's like butter cream, huh? Yeah. I bought these for this really nice lady. Turns out she didn't eat chocolate. I kept meaning to send these to my grandmother and I never did. Kanani 1:38 (to Hilary) You're such an asshole. That's what I was gonna choose. Hilary 1:42 Well, there's another one of them right there.Kanani 1:44 (whispers) You're such a butthole...Courtney ? 1:45 Now, they've been on the shelf for a little while so they're a little stale. Kanani 1:49 Is that mint? Hilary 1:50 No? It's like coconutty Kanani 1:53 Oh, that's gross.Hilary 1:59 You were already late because of another Blizzard dude, so... Kanani 2:01 Okay, so we need to talk about my trip here is what we need to do. So before we got here, Courtney ? 2:06 You're not allowed to drive by yourself ever again. Kanani 2:08 No. Courtney, Brian and I met up and did the Portland seafood and wine fest. Courtney ? 2:12 Brian is my husband. Kanani 2:13 Yes. And it was super fun. And I go every year this is like sixth year in a row. I've gone. It was awesome. Hilary 2:19 (eating chocolate) This one is like almondy...Kanani 2:21 So I decided that I was going to bring back with me because I didn't wanna get tank there and then have to drive to the podcast. I was going to bring back some warm sparse spiced wine, and some mac and cheese Courtney ? 2:35 You said warm, sparse wine (laughs)Kanani 2:36 I know. So, as I'm walking to my car, I feel some wetness on my leg. And I'm thinking Oh shit, I just peed myself. And I've had two children, so there's always the chance that I legit peed myself. And I looked down and I go, Well, no, it would be physically impossible for me to pee on that side of my calf. So I look in my bag and my bag is leaking. And the lid has come off my spiced wine and virtually all but like a sip of it is gone and it's soaked into my jeans. So later in the podcast if you hear what sounds like someone's sucking on denim. That's me trying to get the rest of my wine out of my pantleg.Hilary 3:16 Basically like, you're gonna get pulled over, and they're going think you're wasted Kanani 3:19 Right! So my whole car, by the way, smells like wine.Courtney ? 3:30 You put a paper cup, it's like a coffee cup, and you put it by yourself in a bag. Kanani 3:35 No, it wasn't by itself. I had it tucked into a couple of things. But what happened was it squeezed and a it popped the lid off.Courtney ? 3:41 Those cups are are not meant to go squish in a bagHilary 3:44 Children! We haven't even announced that we're doing a podcast.Courtney ? 3:47 Ha! Hi everybody!Kanani 3:49 Then I'm getting in my car as I'm driving. I'm almost here and my mac and cheese, slides off the seat and onto the floor. So pretty much the whole top layer of the mac and cheese was gone. So then I'm pissed off. And then I see DQ. And I'm like, you know what? I'm getting DQ. I'm agitated. I've lost half my mac and cheese and my wine is gone. I pull into the DQ and I'm just gonna get a small cuz I'm like, having snacks all dayHilary 4:22 You're full of shit. You knew you weren't going to get a small. Courtney ? 4:23 You never do that.Kanani 4:24 Well I go in and I'm all, yeah, I'll have a cookie dough with mint syrup. And they go, Oh, I'm sorry. We're out of mint syrup. And I'm like, Fuck you. I'm getting a large regular cookie dough. Courtney ? 4:33 (eating chocolates ) I DID like this one...this little square one. Hilary 4:37 Courtney and I are eating and we're like, "yeah, yeah. Dairy Queen, Dairy Queen."Courtney ? 4:40 We're eating fancy chocolates that have been on the shelf a little and they're a little stale, but they're still really good. Hi, I'm Courtney. I'm hosting today's podcast. I am here with Hillary.Hilary 4:49 Hello! Courtney ? 4:49 And Kanani Kanani 4:50 Hello.Hilary 4:51 And this is "That Witch Life Podcast!" OMG, we are a fucking disaster today. Courtney ? 4:59 I didn't even drink at wine and seafood festifal today. I didn't! No! It was actually very funny. I just had my astrology chart done last week to find out what my month was going to be like. And one of the first things that the astrologer said, who is Ivo Dominguez Jr. who is a really great astrologer. And he said "February for you is going to be a month of 'every chocolate needs to be tasted'." And I'm usually pretty good at limiting my sugar intake. So I said, "Okay, I'll be mindful. It might be a bit of a stretch this month." Flash forward to me February 1, which is when we're recording this, that I am literally trying every chocolate at the seafood fest and then I popped open in this box for us to eat.Hilary 5:42 Well, we know he's a psychic.Courtney ? 5:43 The llink to where you can get your Ivo chart is on our website at . So Hillary How are you doing? Kanani's over there seething so we know how she's doing.Hilary 5:57 My week has been really crazy. I worked like way too many hours this week. And then yesterday, I have a friend who has a metal band that's really good in town and I sometimes cameo with them. I had agreed to this, like forever ago. And then at like, 4pm yesterday I was like, What day is it? And I look and I'm like, Oh my god, the show is tonight and I'm so tired! Because I was at work at like, 6am yesterday, and I was like, "Okay, what time are you guys on?" He's like, "Okay, like, 11:15." I was like, "Okay," and then he's like, "I think it's running like a half an hour behind" and then they actually went on like an hour and a half behind and I got home at like 2:30 in the morning. And, you know, almost having been up 20 like 22 hours essentially. Yeah, it's fine. It's a really good friend of mine and I had a great time they're great band, but I just was like...ugh.Courtney ? 6:45 They were worth it.Hilary 6:46 They were worth it. But he owes me big time. Courtney ? 6:48 Well, you get to that place where you're so tired, that you just keep going.Hilary 6:53 Yeah, you're fueled by complete sleep deprivation and the funny thing is is like with him, I just was like I'm just going to use this to like, hold over your head for the rest of your life. So it's fine. I'll get mine back. (laughs) It's like I'll use this every time I need something from you: "Remember that time that I stayed up really late? I need you to come help me move something in my house."Courtney ? 7:13 This is like a giant Pay It Forward performer bank in which you helped him out on no sleep at all. And so at some point, he's going to need to move a piano for you. Correct? Okay.Hilary 7:23 Yeah. Courtney ? 7:24 I got it. Hilary 7:24 That's how I role. Nothing is free with me. No, I'm kidding.Courtney ? 7:29 I was in Spokane last weekend. Hilary 7:31 How was Spokane? Courtney ? 7:32 It was really, really great. I was with the Spokane pagan community up there. And I did a talk on The Morrigan and everybody was super supportive. And there was a woman there who I met at the Nine Folds Festival in (tries to say Massachusetts--screws up three times). (Hilary laughs) I can read, I can talk, Massachusetts. And she came. She lives in Idaho, and she came out to see me and it was great. Hilary 7:57 Amazing!Courtney ? 7:57 Yeah, and we did this really wonderful Tarot class the next day, which I wasn't fully prepared for, but sometimes I do my best work is when I'm like, "Okay! here we go!" And we did a class called "Digging Deeper into the Tarot." And I had people do practice readings on a hypothetical guy named Joe. And people started singing the "Button Factory Song." So I turned it into: "Joe is looking to get a job at the button factory. What does the Tarot say about his prospects?" And people had so much fun.Kanani 8:35 I have no idea what the button factory song is. Courtney ? 8:37 (Courtney and Hilary singing) "Hi, my name is Joe. And I work in a button factory. I have one wife and he goes on wife and two kids. One day my boss came up to me..."Kanani 8:49 This is a horrible song. Why would you sing this song? Courtney ? 8:51 It's basically about your job. It's Hillary's job. Joe keeps pushing buttons. Hilary 8:57 And you have to do it. So like, there's arm movement. So you say, "one day my boss came up to me and said, 'Joe, are you busy?' I said, No. 'So push this button with your right hand.' So you're doing this, right? And but then you have to keep pushing other buttons, right? And then you have to hold it all together.Courtney ? 9:16 And at the end of the song: "One day my boss came up to me and he said, 'Hi, Joe, are you busy? And I said, YES!' So it's a song about drawing boundaries.Kanani 9:27 It's a horrible song.Hilary 9:29 It's the song that needs to be the song of my life is my life daily. Courtney ? 9:36 You called me this week. You were so upset. I felt terrible.Hilary 9:39 I was like, I'm so maxed.Courtney ? 9:42 So anyway....Hilary 9:44 Can I brag about something now? Courtney ? 9:45 Yes, you may brag about something now.Hilary 9:46 you guys are going to be jealous because next weekend, it's my dad's 75th birthday. Well, my dad somebody's birthday is on the 12th but I'm going to Denver for his 75th birthday and I also get to hang out with the Najah Lightfoot.Courtney ? 9:59 NAJAH!!!!Hilary 9:59 I'm super excited. And about that. Everybody be jealous.Courtney ? 10:01 Najah Lightfoot, the author of "Good Juju". She has another book coming out Hilary 10:04 I know! She signed the contracts. She's working on it right now. So that's what she posted the other day. Courtney ? 10:09 Yeah, I'm drawing a blank on the name but we will be sure to share that....Hilary 10:11 It's a continuation of "Good Juju." So it's like the second part of that. We'll post it on the site. I can't remember if I've seen the name or not. Courtney ? 10:22 Yeah, we'll be blowing up the channels and we'll definitely have her back to talk about it. Hilary 10:26 OMG, she's also the best. Courtney ? 10:29 Awesome. Well, and also, last episode was super fun. Getting to be with people live. I'm watching Kanani roll her eyes and she obviously doesn't remember. Kanani 10:37 I know, I'm trying to remember. Courtney ? 10:39 It was our live recording at the Raven's Wing. Hilary 10:42 That was really fun. Courtney ? 10:43 Yeah, and to get to see all the little hearts floating in there. And, and one of the things is, the phone was positioned kind of far away. So we couldn't see all the Instagram love and questions that came in right away. But we did get to see them later. And it meant a lot to us because we sit here in Hillary's basement, just wondering Uh, you know, we're having a great time. But are we actually helping anyone? Hilary 11:02 Like, are we doing anything? Courtney ? 11:05 And turns out that hey, we do have some people out there that we're connecting with and we love you guys and so thanks everybody for tuning in. But yeah, literally the same thing happened as it did last week with Kanani's ridiculous blizzard. Kanani 11:18 Except I'm not late this time. Courtney ? 11:20 You WERE late this time! We said we would be here at three and at 3:05 you're at the front door. Hilary 11:24 No, no, you were here at like 3:10. Kanani 11:27 Okay.Hilary 11:29 I'm like, you couldn't be on time for our live podcasts. So why would we think you can be on time for the pre-recorded. Kanani 11:37 I agree with what Hillary said. It's really your fault for not knowing that I would stop to get a Blizzard.Courtney ? 11:43 That's true. Hilary 11:44 Truly, Courtney was like, 'Where is she?' I was all, "She went to Dairy Queen." Clearly. And she's like, No, I don't think so. And I was like, I mean, definitely. And then here she here she walks in with a Blizzard.Courtney ? 11:55 (eating chocolate) This is a carmel, Hillary. Hilary 11:57 Is it good? I can't eat any more sugar, too much sugar.Courtney ? 12:00 Really? well I'm gonna keep working on in. Anyway I'm gonna keep working on this box of chocolate.Hilary 12:04 Mostly because like I had so much caffeine yesterday and I think having more caffeine today and then adding chocolate caffeine to the mix I'm going to like fall apartCourtney ? 12:11 Plus the negative sleep aspects. You are basically just existing on love and desire for revenge.Hilary 12:20 Exactly. Instead of sleeping in, I got up to try and make sure that I was here and was able to receive a stove that came. I've been without a stove for six weeks soCourtney ? 12:31 Oh my god. Six weeks?Hilary 12:33 well five and a half weeks. Yeah, because it was ordered but it took it was like took that long to get the delivery and so the option was to rent a u haul and pick it up but when they deliver it they also take your old one so then I'm like, no whatever. We'll just wait. I didn't have a microwave. I do now have a microwave, out of necessity. But yeah, I'm so like, I'm glad that it came like they literally came five minutes before you guys showed up. So I was worried that they would interrupt the podcast and I'd have to come up with a story about how I shove too many children in the oven and it broke.Courtney ? 13:05 I was going to say it's because it's Hansel and Gretel shoved you in and you were like "Not today, bitches!"Hilary 13:12 And I busted straight outCourtney ? 13:14 No, that's that other witch. But speaking of witches, that's what our podcast is about. Actually not about chocolate.Hilary 13:21 Yeah, we don't talk about Witchcraft, we always talk about food. Courtney ? 13:24 I know. So, it is February, a new month. It is time to draw a new card. We normally do Tarot but today we are using "The Witches' Oracle" by Marla Brooks. It is a fantastic work of art that she sent to me and I was using this last week with my cauldron squad in New York. Really great stuff. So we're going to see what our Oracle is for this month. Every one of these cards, I'm guessing she's got about 40 cards here, has to do with a symbol of traditional witchcraft and what that means. This card is for everyone who's listening. This is meant for all of us. February: The crystal ball! Let's see what the crystal ball has to say: The crystal ball has been used by seers, fortune tellers, psychics and sorcerers as far back as medieval times in Europe. It is one of the most well known and popular methods of divination to foresee and foretell crystal balls were even used by Royal councilors like Dr. john Dee, the trusted advisor to Queen Elizabeth the First, who had to have been a witch. I really believe it.Hilary 14:40 Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah.Courtney ? 14:42 He was well known for his use of the crystal ball in his works. He was a scientist, astronomer, mathematician and geographer but was also involved in hermetic philosophy and alchemy studies. People would believe crystal would act as a communication device between him and angels. The crystal ball in a reading indicates that necessity to find out information that cannot be seen by the naked eye like why is kanani 10 minutes late? We did not need a crystal ball but I really could have used one. It is also used to find answers to questions that have been plaguing you not only regard to the future but also the past because our yesterday's define our tomorrow's. Get in touch with who you were rather than who you are now, and you will find the answers you seek. Okay, so that was "The Witches Oracle" by Marla Brooks and link to where you can find this will be on our website. So it is our annual love spells episode because it's February and this is the month of Hillary's least favorite holiday. It was at one time Kanani's favorite holiday like when you were a teenager,Kanani 15:47 Valentine's Day. It's in the top three. Nothing beats Halloween but it's it is one of them.Hilary 15:54 I mean nothing beats Halloween Courtney ? 15:56 Halloween is the sacred time but we're not there yet. We're Valentine's Day.Kanani 16:00 But yes, I do like Valentine's Day.Courtney ? 16:02 yeah, so we're gonna be talking all about love spells today. And in a little while we have Queen Auset-Heru who's coming on Hilary 16:09 AmazingCourtney ? 16:09 Yes, who is a witch and a romance advisor and she has a hysterical YouTube channel called Ask an Aquarius. And so it's the perfect time since we're in her high holy birthday season. But so speaking of spellcraft and other things, I the book recommendation for this week is "Sticks, Stones, Roots and Bones: Hoodoo, Mojo and Conjuring with Herbs" by Stephanie Rose Bird. I bought this book over the summer I'm finally cracking into it and it is fantastic. This is this is honestly one of the more scholarly books that I have read this year from a spellcraft series but she presents it in a very accessible way. So there's a lot here about the history of hoodoo and how it really took took root here in North America, and the specific areas on the African continent that it came from and where it landed as it was as it came through the transatlantic slave trade. Hilary 17:07 Amazing. What a great book recommendation. Courtney ? 17:11 And also the spiritual practice of bonding with herbs, as well as the actual scientific methodology between preserving and storing these herbs and it's it she she's very clear when I know that I tend to lean into this very, make it fast, make it easy, make it convenient, and she's very clear that witchcraft is not always convenient and you need to create time and space for it. Hilary 17:49 Shit, that's true. Courtney ? 17:49 And I know there's some really excellent especially if you're looking to, to bring in prosperity or love spells. This is a really good resource to have And so I'm really hoping we can get her on the show at some point this year, though. Yeah, so definitely pick that one up. And other another resource we wanted to mention is the southern fried podcast, another witchcraft focused show. They've been really supportive of us, andHilary 18:20 They are awesome. Courtney ? 18:20 They are awesome. And she certainly has a much more pleasant accent to listen to than ours. Because it's just this very slow, lovely Alabama, that we just don't have Hilary 18:33 Just really comforting and like pleasant to listen to, Courtney ? 18:36 as opposed to like, blah blah blah we're in the Pacific Northwest.Yeah, so that's definitely check her out as well. She's one of our favorite people. So yeah, mutual love and admiration for the southern fried podcast. So let's start talking about our love spells. We went into this last year and told all of our stories About Love spells, so I just wanted to know have either one. Have you done any love spells in the past year?Hilary 19:06 Not me.Kanani 19:07 I'm married. I'm not allowed to do love spells.Courtney ? 19:09 I'm sure you can for other people Kanani 19:12 That's what my husband told me I'm not allowed to do. I'm not supposed to love other people.Hilary 19:17 No, like *for* other people.Kanani 19:18 I see what you're saying. Hilary 19:22 No, I haven't actually.on myself or other people. I don't know. It just hasn't come up. I think. Courtney ? 19:30 I think we've all been so focused on business this year. Yeah, Yeah, I did. I didn't want before "The Morrigan" was released, not for romance. But for people to just love me. And I got in the bathtub with a bunch of oranges. Hilary 19:42 Oh, you know what? That's true. I actually did one for people to perceive me in a more favorable light. Yeah. But, but yeah, it wasn't like romantic love specific but it was like for people to like or love me or perceive me favorably. Courtney ? 19:53 Like what did you do? Hilary 19:58 I use candle magic. So I had a pink candle and I did some sigil carving on the candle.Courtney ? 20:10 And what kind of sigil would you use for something like that?Well, I mean, so for the way I approached sigils is that I let, I mean, for me, it's not like this specific symbol, it's like I take, I kind of center myself and try and just let whatever comes out Come out, I focus myself on what my intent is. So if that is for me to be perceived better, or if that is for someone to like me, or if that is for success, or money or whatever, I focus on that very specific thing, and then I just let my hand do whatever. And I have a specific tool that I carve with. It's like an intuitive thing. I mean, I know there are people that use specific sigils for me It's always been intuitively and I sometimes I'll carve it into the side of the candle ahead of time or if it's a a candlelit stained glass I'll carve the sigil into the top of the candlethere's a really great book out there called "Sigil Witchery: A Witch's Guide to Crafting Magic Symbols" by Laura Tempest Zakroff and so I would recommend that people are interested in using sigils in their magic to start working with that one. Yeah, so what I did very simple is I got into the bathtub at a full moon and I had three oranges in the bathtub with me. I am not entirely sure of the roots of the spell but it feels to me it may have some roots in Ocha, otherwise known as Santeria. And using the water the orange is to basically wash myself to bring you know favorability to me and people people liking the book and liking what I do. People have very strong feelings about the The Morrigan and so I wanted to make sure that my book was well loved and well received.Hilary 22:00 That makes total sense. I feel like people do have very specific ideas about what The Morrigan is because she's such a well known and well liked goddess. Courtney ? 22:09 Yeah. So Kanani, have you even tried to get people to like you this year? Hilary 22:12 I almost shot tea out of my nose.Kanani 22:15 I don't even...no. So don't care. Maybe I could do a spell to care. I don't know how that would work. I don't have that kind of power. I don't believe that anything could make Kanani care (laughter). Yeah, I just don't. I don't often practice magic on behalf of other people. The only exception to that would be, you know, for people who have passed or things like that, or who so maybe they're not even people I knew, right? They're just people I know, maybe who are famous or something like that who have passed and I'll light candles, you know, to help those left behind, you know, to get through the hurt and the healing and the like that so but for the most part I don't necessarily practice magic for other people. And as I am already married and don't need to practice do any kind of love magic for myself it's just typically not and as you already said, I really don't care to attract people to me because then they're gonna talk to me and then it's just awkward and...(laughter).Hilary 23:22 I've had people come to me for prosperity spells and this year actually a lot of people I feel like a lot of people, and me too, want to find themselves in financial stability or or excelling in one's career or having projects coming to fruition. So I've done a couple prosperity spells for people, but no love spells. Courtney ? 23:45 I'm very selective when people come to me for for spell work because so often, the intention of the Love Spell is often misplaced. And you think it's that person. And we may have touched on this last year so sorry for repeating ourselves and maybe it bears repeating Again, people sometimes think I want this person and maybe it's very often they think that what this person has is what they want. And I can find that to be really problematic. And and also, you know, there's there's two people that play at this game as well. And I remember I doing a Love Spell for someone a couple of years ago. She wanted to be with this guy, nothing else would do. And he really had no interest in dating just one person, he really wanted to keep her and this other woman on the line. And so I did some work to remove the obstacles and things worked better for a while he, you know, kind of stopped seeing that other woman for a bit and came back to her but he was a problem.Hilary 24:36 Like what he wanted and what he was gonna to do was different.Courtney ? 24:40 It's like removing the obstacle was really honestly removing him.Hilary 24:44 I think there was something that Chiron said last year. Yeah, it was like if you don't have anything to build off of, you can't just create something out of air, right? Kanani 24:58 If you've never had a committed relationship orHilary 25:03 even you know, also it's from an ethical standpoint you can't just be like "oh this person that I've been like secretly admiring over here I'm going to try and get them to feel a certain way about me" it's more like if you have an existing connection with someone and you want to build on that or you want to help nurture that in the same way that you would nurture a garden you know that like that makes sense to me. But yeah, I think I'm also selective and very wary of love spells in general because I think often what people want is "I've been in love with this person for a very long time they don't share the same feelings" and I'm like, but that doesn't feel like consent to me.Kanani 25:40 You can't make someone's partner be faithful who never was faithful Courtney ? 25:43 Word of the Prophet Bonnie Rait: (Singing) "I can't make you love me if you don't...even with a Witch, I paid a lot of money to..." Alright, um, it's actually really funny talking about this because the astrology for this month of February...I was looking to try to give some help to people that might want to do love spells this month and looking at the planets and you'reHilary 26:08 And you were like "Damn. No."Unknown Speaker 26:09 but then looking at it a second time I went. Now I'll tell you why. So normally, the full moon in February is a great time for love because most of the time it is, depending on what part of the month the full moon happens if it's at the end of the month, it may not be the case, but if it's earlier in February, like it is this month, the full moon is in Leo, because it's always going to be the opposite of the sign we're in right now which is Aquarius. So Leo is a very sexy alluring sign has great hair. And so this is usually a time for like glamour magic for people to see you in your best light to be drawn to you to you know to have that that really alluring energy of Leo. But this is not the month you want to do that because of this time when we have our full moon it is in and I'm sure I'm going to pronounce this wrong. Because I've only read it never said aloud before Quincunx. (laughing)Kanani 27:05 That's not a wordCourtney ? 27:05 Yes it is. It's Q-U-I-N-C-U-N-X. Quincunx.Hilary 27:11 Cunx. Cun. Is there an n in it?Courtney ? 27:14 Yes. Yeah. Quincunx. (laughing).Kanani 27:17 She's just making up words.Hilary 27:18 Are you sure you didn't type that in wrong?Courtney ? 27:20 I went over several times I talked about with Brian and he was like, Yes. quincunx and I'm like....(lots of laughter)Hilary 27:25 I'm so tired like everything is funny right now.Courtney ? 27:34 This is a problem when you are a witch who does a lot of reading, but doesn't always do a lot of talking you're like.....Kanani 27:41 I'm sorry, there's no way anyone believes you don't do a lot of talking. There's not one person who has listened to any of our episodes who believes that.Hilary 27:48 I rarely agree with Kanani. But in this case....Kanani 27:50 No. No. Courtney ? 27:52 I work at home, alone. And so I only talk when someone calls meKanani 27:55 You talk to yourself the whole time. We all know it.Courtney ? 27:58 I'm a good listener. I'm usually just say fuck off to my animals because they're terrible anyway. So whenever this conjunction is...We'll say it's "Q". So whenever the moon is "Q" (laughs) with anything it causes the causes trouble so this time the moon is "Q" (laughs again)Hilary 28:16 God. I gotta stop taking a drink of tea ever in this podcast. It keeps almost coming out of my nose.Courtney ? 28:22 all right this is sirrus. Hilary 28:23 It's sirrus?Courtney ? 28:24 It's SERIOUS! (Laughs....)Hilary 28:33 Okay, everyone take a deep breath, breathe... Courtney ? 28:38 so anyway. The moon is doing some terrible things with mercury, Jupiter and Saturn which means that if you were to do a love spell on the full moon this month, you're going to attract people Who are not honest, are going to bring all sorts of other complications, like, you know, the secret spouses and other things. So basically stay the fuck away from that. So you know, yeah, and if you do something, honestly, I always felt like Valentine's Day was my favorite day to do love spells was everybody's in the mood. But the moon is doing that same thing with Venus, which is putting a lot of pressure on relationships. So it's that same kind of energy of show me the ring or get out. So that's not, like what you want to put out in the world if you're trying to bring in a new relationship. Now, this energy though, is going to be helpful if you have a relationship that's in flux, and you're not sure where it's going. So this is a time this, this correspondence is really good for showing people where they're at. Whether this is friendships or romantic relationships. And so especially if you do this magic on the morning of February 10, depending on where you are...Kanani 29:56 February 10th is put up or shut? Courtney ? 29:59 Essentially, yeah, also Valentine's Day too. But I'd say anytime this week either the evening of the ninth or the morning of the 10th depending on when the moon moves into Virgo. So check where you are in the world for here on the West Coast that would be late on the night of the 9th there early on the 10th. So that's a good time to figure out where people stand in your life, whether these are friends or romances. So that's where at first when I said yeah, this is a terrible time for love magic, but then I thought, actually it's not a terrible time.Hilary 30:32 It's a terrible time for a certain type of love Magick. And certainly at terrible time for the type of love magic that people tend to be drawn towards this time of year. Yeah.Courtney ? 30:41 So whether or not you're with someone if you're just trying to get some clarity, either on on the roles other people have in your life or on what you want for yourself. A spell suggestion that I have is to get a taper candle. That's like one of the ones you see when you're having... Kanani 30:56 Tall skinny candle. Courtney ? 30:57 Yes, the best color for romance is red. The best one for friendship is yellow. If this is about figuring out where your business colleagues are blue or green green for money blue, which associates with Jupiter which has to do a lot with business enterprise and burn this candle next to a bowl of water, always make sure the candle is burning while you're home. Don't leave it unattended, burn the candle all the way down. Okay, then you're going to want to use this water to wash your face the next morning specifically around your eyes. This is really important. This should just be clean, clean water, since you are putting on your eyes. Don't put any oils in there. Don't putHilary 31:35 Don't put herbs or anything like that. Courtney ? 31:36 If you really want to include some oils, I'd say like sprinkle them out like outside the water bowl or put them on the candle. Same thing with the herbs, put them around the bowl. Use anything that's kind of more of a citrus or a bitter herb, you know, again, I'm a big fan of lemon balm. So if you have any of that from last summer, circle that on the outside and that will help cut through the crap. So then you can do the same spell if you're hoping for clarity in your relationship or just trying to figure out where people stand in your life. So that's the kind of love magic that TiTi Coco recommends for February but I would not recommend anybody doing any spells to bring love in this time of year and if you're not sure about you know, you'll want to do the spell right now. You can charge this candle set it out on the night of the night after the full moon or on the 14th and then, you know, let the candle know what its job is for it how its energies is picking up and then burn it later. You know, if you find yourself some point in the next year, in a place where you're not sure where people stand, you can come back and harness this this discernment energy, so yay. Thanks, guys. That has been the Love Spell report! Hilary 32:48 Heck yeah! Courtney ? 32:49 Speaking of love spells, Kanani has another movie that she's going to review for us before we bring on our special guest. So we had an audience member request that Kanani review "Bell, Book, and Candle" which is a golden oldie, I believe.Kanani 33:05 It was released in 1958. Courtney ? 33:07 Okay, so tell us all about it in your eloquent way of reviewing movies.Hilary 33:11 So classic example of an unethical love spell.Kanani 33:11 so the movie was made in 1958. It is about a woman who owns a shop and above the shop lives her aunt, and a man James Stewart. He was the star of "A Wonderful Life," people will recognize that actor, and she kind of has a crush on him. He's her neighbor. And she decides that when she finds out he is engaged to her, essentially, essentially her college rival. She decides that she officially wants to steal him away, and she puts a love spell on him. And so as soon as she casts a spell on him, he falls in love with her breaks up with the woman he was supposed to marry. And he is a book publisher. Sure. Courtney ? 34:08 Yeah, it sounds like something somebody has asked me for. "She's totally wrong for him and she was so mean to me in college."Kanani 34:15 They have a fun kind of side part of the story. The the main plot is that she's putting a love spell on him, but the other side plus he's a book publisher, and she helps through magic, she does a spell so that he can meet someone who writes books about witches, he himself is not a witch. Okay, so in working with this other guy who's trying to write a book, he starts to learn some mythology about witches, not knowing that he's been put under a spell and that the woman who did that is actually a witch. So some of the old wives tales that they talk about are witches can't cry. They can't shed tears, Witches can't blush. They talked about the old theory that you hear about, you know, women, Witches can't float things like That.Hilary 35:00 I mean, I can float.Kanani 35:01 And that Witches can't fall in love. And that if a witch does fall in love, that she loses all of her powers.Hilary 35:11 That's a whole bunch of horseshit.Kanani 35:13 What was interesting was to watch a movie that's based in 1958. And because I was expecting a whole lot of misogynistic overtones, and there still was little moments of little things that were said that you kind of laugh, because that's not the kind of stuff that you would hear anymore. But because she's a witch, there is a feminist, independent energy about her that they wouldn't usually portray and a woman in the late 50s. Like she lives on her own. She's independent, she has her own business. She's fine. She doesn't feel the need to get married things like this, but typically, Hilary 35:50 She doesn't need a man. Kanani 35:51 Yeah, this is not how you would portray a 1950s woman. Courtney ? 35:55 She lives alone with her cat Pyewacket. Kanani 35:57 Yes, yeah. And so it was it was really a was a great it was a great movie. In the end, he finds out that she's a witch. Because she confesses before they get married. She confesses, because she doesn't want to get married without him knowing. And he, of course breaks up with her: "How could you do this to me?" he goes to another witch who takes the spell off of him. And they have a kind of a confrontation later. And during the confrontation, she starts to cry. And that's when he returned, he knew that the old myth of witches can't cry. Then if a woman falls in love that she loses her powers and he realizes that Oh, she actually did love him. And then they end up happily ever after.Courtney ? 36:41 And that's that's this the line of my most favorite line of any witchcraft movie, is it I think it's her mother or someone says to her, "Oh, darling, what is it like?"Kanani 36:49 It's Aunt Queeny.Courtney ? 36:53 "How awful it is to be human!" (Laughs)Kanani 37:03 It was kind of fun to watch an old movie and not have all that misogynistic stuff that's part of it because they just they portray her is just such a strong independent woman on her own and I saw I thought was really cool I love the movie was a great cute little love story. Then I just when I was looking at the the cast and stuff to be able to tell people who was who I just saw that her brother, who was a pretty key character was actually Jack Lemmon I had no idea Courtney ? 37:30 Oh yeah! A very young Jack Lemmon.Kanani 37:31 I had no idea when I was watching it, but that was actually Jack Lemmon so that's pretty cool. Courtney ? 37:36 So question for you. Zero is "No Witch should see this movie." 10 is "This is required viewing for all" so zero to 10 where is "Bell Book and Candle?" Kanani 37:48 If you like cute love stories, you will you will love this. Okay, if you're more into kind of the more hardcore Gothic, kind of like, if you like old movies, you'll love this movie. I'll put it that way. If you like romantic movies, It'd be like old movies you will absolutely love this movie. Hilary 38:01 (laughing) Hillary's trying to get a chocolate outI have long nails and I'm trying not to make a lot of noise! That's not even the one I wanted. Jesus.Courtney ? 38:13 Both of you today, wow...did you get it?Hilary 38:16 I got it. Kanani 38:17 I would watch that movie again okay I would have girlfriends over to just watch that cute little love story.Courtney ? 38:22 So it gets a Kanani star of approval.Kanani 38:23 One hundred percent Courtney ? 38:24 so "The Crow" did notKanani 38:25 that was horrible. (laughter) I'm happy I saw Bram Stoker's "Dracula." I thought it was okay. I would never watch it again. I would have no reason to.Courtney ? 38:36 That is that is routine Halloween viewing in my house.Kanani 38:39 "Bell book and candle" I would totally sit down with a glass of wine and a box of chocolates and some girlfriends and watch that it's just a cute little sappy love story.Courtney ? 38:45 Alright, so this this is good. That was a good review. Yay, we did it! Yay! (clapping)All right. Queen Auset-Heru is a priestess of Ma'at: The spiritual system of ancient Kemet. She's a clairvoyant, a tarot reader and an Oracle who works with people across the world to solve their most difficult problems. She is located in Costa Rica and does a small advice channel on YouTube called Ask an Aquarius, where people ask questions about spirituality, astrology and romance. Queen Auset-Heru, thank you so much for being on the show today. Hilary 39:18 We're super excited to have you.Queen Auset-Heru 39:21 Thank you guys so much for inviting me. You know, whenever Courtney asks me to do anything, I'm always on top of it. I always joke, Courtney is my favorite Cancer. And she really encourages me to be a better person.Courtney ? 39:35 Oh my god,Queen Auset-Heru 39:36 Like really she encourages me to be more compassionate and more kind and I really am always happy whenever she asks me to do anything.Kanani 39:45 It's good she has someone like you because she's not gonna get that here.Hilary 39:50 Does she pay you to say that?Kanani 39:52 It's not going to happen here. So I'm glad she has that in you.Courtney ? 39:57 When we were we were out just a little while ago. I introduced Kanani to someone saying "This is my best friend. She's also my meanest friend." She's just like, "Yeah, that's me." Anyway, so, um, Queen Auset, tell our listeners, if you will, how did you know you were a witch?Queen Auset-Heru 40:15 You know something I always believed in witches are born that way. We're born with the ability just like you are born able to sing, you're born with certain gifts. So I think that we're born that way. So I always noticed that something was weird about my perception of reality, because I would see things and feel things and hear things that other people didn't. So I was like, 2, 3, 4 years old picking up on this and I had no idea what was going on. And as I got older, I just started to research and that's how I found out what it was called.Courtney ? 40:53 Nice. So was there a specific book or a teacher that you had? Hilary 40:57 Or a moment? Courtney ? 40:58 Yeah, that helped you put your name to it? Queen Auset-Heru 41:00 Well, let me see...the first thing that happened around three or four years old, I kept telling my mother that I was seeing spirits. I didn't call them spirits. I kept saying, somebody's in my room, somebody's in my closet, somebody's at my window, you know, and my mother would just look at me like, you know, is this her imagination or what the deal is? But I guess I was so adamant about it, she bought me a Bible. Three or four years old with a Bible, because in her mind, that's what you do. You know, because she grew up in the Catholic Church. So in her mind, when somebody's seeing spirits it's demonic, so they need protection. So when she gave me the Bible, I knew that that was unusual, but I didn't know why it was unusual. So that was the moment that I realized that there was something to what I was experiencing. And it wasn't just my imagination, which my sister and everybody else kept saying, "Oh, it's okay. It's just your imagination. Kids have a vivid imagination" and I'm like, "No, I saw a man in my closet." I knew. I knew what it was! Hilary 42:07 You're like, it's not my imagination. Like he was in there! Queen Auset-Heru 42:09 He was in there, you know, the same way I see my mother, I see my sister, I see this person in my closet. So, um, that was the moment I was about three or four years old. And then from that moment forward, I kept on just trying to figure out what I was experiencing. And I read different things. And it wasn't until I was older that I really pieced it together and was like, "Oh, my God, this is real. I'm, you know, I'm a witch," you know. In our tradition, we call it a Priestess, but it's the same vibration. And I was just shocked like, wow, and then I didn't think I was ready. I thought it was too big of a responsibility for me, but I figured out what it was.Courtney ? 42:51 When I see your your Instagram posts and I see your YouTube videos, I really wish you were someone that I knew when I was younger and going through complete love trauma because Kanani was trying to steer me right and I wasn't listening. Kanani 43:07 She did not listen. She did NOT listen!Courtney ? 43:13 I feel like I'm like, oh god where was where was Queen Auset when 23 year old Courtney was, you know lighting things on fire, essentially. But you just have a real knack for very solid grounded advice. Like the things you share is never like, 'oh, you're beautiful and perfect!' It's like, "Oh, no, you're making a mistake. Turn left. You do not deserve that kind of heartbreak. Come on now." You know? And so what drew you to love magick in particular?Queen Auset-Heru 43:42 Because, you know, Courtney, I feel like people have a tendency to downplay romantic relationships. But I feel like it's one of the most important things that happens in our life. I feel like is really important, and I think that people downplay that and so many of my clients were coming to me with love problems as soon as I started doing readings, you know, in 1999 when I got my first tarot deck, the first question was about love. The very first reading I did was a love reading. So it seemed like to me it was important, and people weren't giving it the amount of, you know, significance that it deserved. So, people kept coming to me and asking me about their relationships and their boyfriend and girlfriend and this one and that one, their wife, their husband, and over time I just ended up doing so much of it that it became like second nature.Kanani 44:37 I agree with what you said that--we kind of talked about, earlier on, that we all have kind of we're very cautious and guarded about love magic for other people. Because of of, you know, sometimes circumstances and people not really understanding what it is they're asking or things like that. But I think that you hit the nail on the head. There are few things in life that impact who you are and who you will be later. You know, few things impact it more than, relationships. Other than like, death, right? Death has a huge impact on who you will become. Relationships are so critical to ultimately who you will be.Queen Auset-Heru 45:25 Exactly. And you know, I read a statistic A long time ago that said, that your chances for happiness increas by 50% by marrying the right person. Yeah. When I saw that, I was like, this is really important that we're downplaying it way too much. Courtney ? 45:43 It's so funny because people come to me for readings on love, and people are almost always embarrassed. And I say, hey, look, people. Love readings have kept Tarot readers in business for 600 years. There's a reason why every song on the radio is about love in one way or another and is not about doing your taxes. Okay?Hilary 46:03 Where are those taxes songs? I need some inspiration, we're coming into tax season.Courtney ? 46:09 Okay, so but if somebody wanted to do a Love Spell, what are some of the best approaches someone could take to doing love magic?Queen Auset-Heru 46:19 Whenever somebody comes to me to do love magic, the best approach I would like to take and what I tried to get them to do is to just do love magic on themselves to shift their vibration. Like love towards them. No, that's what I tried to get them to do. But they always want a specific person and that's my least favorite thing to do. Hilary 46:49 We've talked a lot about like, from an ethical standpoint like when you are working on yourself, it's something that you've consented to and then you are then creating the opportunity for the right person to come into your life. Like, Courtney talked about this last year that when she, when she, when the work was that "I want the person for me to come into my life. So I'm going to work on me to have that happen" versus like, "I want this person with this thing, or this actual individual, or a person with all of these characteristics." Doing the work on you, I feel like there's no there's never a loss in that. Because whether or not the exact scenario that you imagine comes forward or not, like you've still done work on yourself that benefits you regardless of outcome.Queen Auset-Heru 47:37 That's my favorite way to do it. And a lot of times, that's just not what they want to do. This is not what they want. They want a specific thing, a specific person, and then we go into what it is that they want. So the next thing I do if they want a specific person, I do a reading to see if that person wants them to be with them. If that person really does love them, if that person is okay with being with them. And if the person does want them, then I'll do the love magic. If the person doesn't want to be with them, I won't take the case.Kanani 48:11 And yeah, "I really want my friend's husband." Just gonna say no to that one.Hilary 48:18 It's like, I mean, I think that's such a good boundary, which is you know that you're saying like, hey, if this person has similar feelings, I will create an environment in which you two can grow together, versus "I'm going to force this person that doesn't give a shit about you in that sense." To force them, I mean, one that always backfires horrifically, and it's not ethical, you know? I have a question. When you have to say no, in those instances, I imagine that must be a hard reaction you get from peopleQueen Auset-Heru 48:56 you know, they call me a thug priestess?Kanani 48:59 I love her.Courtney ? 49:01 I know. It's actually funny. I told Kanani, I think this is your long lost sister and she's like, "Okay." And the look on her face right now. Kanani 49:08 As soon as you said that I'm like, LOVE her. We are sisters.Queen Auset-Heru 49:14 I just tell them, I'm like "Nah, not doing it." Some people are like, "Oh, I'm sorry, I, I can't help you." I'm just like, "Nah."Kanani 49:25 You're like, No! Hard pass. Hard pass. Hilary 49:27 That's not happening.Queen Auset-Heru 49:30 And every time that happens, they usually end up doing what I wanted to do in the first place which was helped them fix their energy. I've never had somebody get angry and be like, well, F-U Man, you know, they usually say "okay, well, what can you offer me?" okay, I can offer you "this". And then they usually go along with it. I've never had somebody not go along with it because it's like, Look, I'm not willing to do that. And I really don't think that works well. You know? So I'm just like the best thing for us to do is "x", which is to help you change your vibration to draw the right person to you. And usually they'll go along with that, but I'm pretty tough. I'm from Philadelphia, I'm from the hood. So, you know, always tell people, you know, I'm a healer now, but some of the times those old aggressive ways are very helpful to me.Kanani 50:20 She and I are gonna hang out. (laughter)We're gonna hang out and we're going to talk about shanking people. That's what we're going to do. You and I, girl, sitting at a bar just talking some shit, that's what's gonna happen. Courtney ? 50:32 She lives in Costa Rica, we should go.Hilary 50:35 I actually really want to go to Costa Rica. So let's do live from Costa Rica.Queen Auset-Heru 50:40 You would love Costa Rica. It's amazing here.Courtney ? 50:43 I just imagine you sitting out in the hammock. I know you're in your your office with this, but I think we're all just gonna imagine you sitting in the hammock.Hilary 50:52 While we watch this lame dreary getting dark weather.Courtney ? 50:59 How you help work with someone to shift their vibration? And what kind of a spell Could someone do to shift their vibration to attract the right person? Aside from calling you and paying you, which should be their first option.Queen Auset-Heru 51:12 when somebody comes to me and they want to find a, they're looking to find love and that kind of way, the first thing I do is do a reading to see what's blocking them, because the cards will tell me exactly what the problem is; why they haven't been able to do it up until this point. And whatever those blockages are, we will start working on them. So usually, I give an example. One blockage that comes up for a lot of people is holding on to people from the past. You know, that kind of stuff. So a lot of times I have to help them cut the cords, you know, with that person so it's a it's a lot of times it's forgiveness. So I work with them to do forgiveness work, different books, different crystals, different meditations, and I have them really work on Whatever the blockage is, and after they move the blockage, then I start to work with them to do the drawing the attracting part. So first I do the removal then I have them draw whoever, whatever it is, and that's just by opening themselves up. Now some people take longer in this process than others. Some people work on it for a couple of weeks and they're ready to attract. And some people the bitterness is so intense, it takes longer, a lot longer. In some cases. It just depends on the person. And then we move on to the attraction work when they're ready. And generally they attract somebody that they like. Courtney asked me to talk about a situation, a love situation that happened? And this is one that's really funny to me. I wanted to tell you guys about, um, I had a client come to me because his woman was into magic. She did a poppet. So she made the doll and she glued his hair to the doll and it was very well done. And he found the doll by accident.Hilary 53:09 Oh my god, that would be that what you're likeCourtney ? 53:13 Talk about a mood killer! You roll over in bed you're like, What? Hilary 53:17 What is this? Is that my fucking hair?Courtney ? 53:21 Jumping out a window, pulling your pants up as you're running down the street.Hilary 53:28 I would be upset about that.Queen Auset-Heru 53:30 Oh, he was very upset. He found the doll, he was upset he called me. He paid me to get rid of this thing. He mailed it to me and I disposed of it. Now this is the crazy part. Six weeks later, he called me back and asked me if I could help him because after I destroyed the doll, they broke up and he now wants her back. (Laughter. Lots of laughter)Hilary 53:31 Oh My GodKanani 53:59 Maybe that's his type! he likes crazy.Hilary 54:02 Were you like "Listen, I think you need to adjust your life choices"?Courtney ? 54:06 If you ever wonder why Witches cackleHilary 54:09 this shit right here.Queen Auset-Heru 54:16 It's like, you paid me to get rid of her, and now you want to pay me to get her back. I was like, this is ridiculous.Courtney ? 54:27 (laughing) I can't. I'm sitting over here and trying to breathe.Queen Auset-Heru 54:30 So I did the reading for him. And I saw in the reading that the relationship really was it was done. You know, it was time the let go, it was time to move on. So I told him it was time to move on. And he was fine with that. So he did let it go and move on. And then a couple of months later, he came to me and asked me to help him with a whole different woman, totally different woman. And I helped him with that woman and they got married. Hilary 54:58 So basically, he was like fuck this magic stuff get rid of this shit wait a minute I need some of that magicQueen Auset-Heru 55:13 for some reason that doll was the only thing that was holding that relationship together you know that was all the as soon as it was destroyed it just dissipated and he didn't realize that he really did want her in his life. So once it was gone and they broke up and you know everything was said done and over, he wanted her back, but luckily for him and luckily for the current the new wife I should say, that just wasn't his destiny. So he finally got the right person so I'm very pleased with him and hopefully won't be hearing from him anymore.Hilary 55:52 That is such an amazing story. First of all, if I found a poppet it with my hair on it anywhere in someone's possession. I would freak out. I'd be like all right, listen, first of all, what are you doing my hair like I have a problem with this collecting of hair. Courtney ? 56:09 I took a guy home once and he stole my underwearKanani 56:13 that was that was your husband. And he wasn't stealing it, Courtney. He was putting in the washing machine. Stop being dramatic. (Laughter)Courtney ? 56:30 (Laughing) I can't do this anymore. I can't host anymore.Kanani 56:31 (To Queen Auset) This is why you and I are going to be best friends!Courtney ? 56:33 (Laughing too hard to talk)Hilary 56:34 Oh no. It's fallen apart. Hi, my name is Hilary and this is That Witch Life podcast. I'm your host today. Courtney is over here. She needs a moment to herself. What's the next question?Courtney ? 56:59 (Still laughing too hard to talk)Hilary 57:05 Let's take some deep breaths (deep breathing). I would I mean like I don't think there's any instance and I mean I truly not very much freaks me out. But if I knew that someone like meticulously and also especially especially if it was really well done I'd be like he spent all his time collecting my hair and like sewing me and as the fucking doll like I would onlyKanani 57:27 The thing that popped into my head when I heard that was he found a poppet of himself was "BURN IT WITH FIRE!" It's like something out of a horror movie. Just make it go away.Queen Auset-Heru 57:40 Well, she did a really good job. It was really well sewn up. It was the color of his skin.Courtney ? 57:50 Did you have weird energy in your house when you got rid of this poppet or were you able to dissipate it pretty quickly?Queen Auset-Heru 57:56 it wasn't too bad. Because really the woman was more I wouldn't say she was like trying to hurt him. She was really just more desperate toHilary 58:07 She was desperate to hold it together.Kanani 58:09 So it wasn't necessarily maliciously made.Queen Auset-Heru 58:13 Exactly. It was just desperation. She just wanted him to love her. And she didn't want him to leave her. And that was all it was about. So I was able to get rid of it. I got rid of it in water though. I used a water source.Kanani 58:26 Yeah, that makes sense.Queen Auset-Heru 58:27 I used a running water source and I got rid of it that way. And everything was fine. I mean, the whole thing just, you know, washed away, and everything was fine, but then they had nothing to hold them together. Now, I was going to say another interesting thing I didn't tell you guys was that someone put a love spell on me before. And that was really really crazy. But I'm gonna tell you something when he It was a man that did the low spell. And when he did the love spill, I knew it immediately. Like immediately what he did it because I felt, like I was sitting at my house, it was a full moon. I just got finished doing all the magic for my clients and something hit me like an energy. And I was like, What the heck was that? It felt like an arrow of energy hitting me. And I sat there and I was like, "It's him". And I knew exactly what he did. And I'm so foolish that I did not take it off right away. I could have just sat there, right didn't there and just removed it, but it felt good. It was like kinda, it was warm and fuzzy. It felt good. So I kind of left home for a little while. I was like, "Ah, this is decent." And then a couple days passed, and my friend was like, "What the hell are you doing?" Like you need to take this off. And that's when I took the spell off.Courtney ? 59:50 How did you remove this?Queen Auset-Heru 59:52 I did a removal spell, a basic removal spell and it was kind of crazy because I took the spell off. I did it during the dark of the moon. The dark period of the moon going towards that variant where you want things to go away. So I did a simple removal spell to get it off of me that wasn't the hard part. The hard part was that he kept trying. So for about 18 months on every Full Moon he kept hitting me with different types of magic, and I had to keep fighting it off and taking it off and I even had the end up going to an elder like "Yo, like I'm fighting this magic off and it keeps coming back" and he was like, "because he keeps doing it. Keep on fighting him. He'll get tired keep fighting him back." And after a while it took about 18 months for him to get tired.Hilary 1:00:38 Wow. Courtney ? 1:00:41 Can you tell us what you put in the removal spell it if you're not able to? It's okay. But some of our listeners might want to know.Queen Auset-Heru 1:00:46 I can't remember with the removal. What I did for the removal spell. Oh, it was it was called an angelic banishing removal. Well, I got it from one of my books. I have books and books and books. spells and spells and spells, I really like spells that rhyme. So I collect spells that rhyme. And it was a angelic removal spell. And basically you call upon the angels, and use frankincense and myrrh. And it used water too, there's another one. I like those water spells. And basically, there's some words to it, but you take your, you take the person's name their information, and you put it into a glass of water, and you put inside of the water, herbs that banish, herbs that remove and then after that, you swirl it in the direction that you want things to go away. So when you want something to come towards you, you guys already know that when you want something to come towards you to go from East back to the east, and like a clockwise formation. So when you want things to go away, you go from the east to the east in a counterclockwise So I did that you put the herbs and counterclockwise and then after the name dissolves on the paper, you have to use some kind of a writing utensil that it will dissolve. So after the name dissolves, you pour it into the toilet and you vanish away whatever it is. And if it's on you, you write down with the ailment is versus your own name, and then you wash it away. So I kept washing it away and it was fine but it kept coming back. And I was like, "Am I not doing this Right? Like what is going on?" And then my elder was like, "No, he's redoing it. He's he keeps coming at you. Every time you take it up, he keeps coming at you". So I had to also beef up my protection magick during that time, because it was like, you know, he kept on attacking in that way. But again, he was trying to just draw me towards him, and I could feel it. And that's the one thing I tell people when they talk about like, you know, does love magic take away your free will. My Free Will wasn't gone. I felt everything. I felt everything. And I was the one that took it off. It was still there. I just felt compelled. I felt drawn to this person. And I wasn't drawn to this person before. That's how I knew that he did something. It was such a strong feeling.Courtney ? 1:03:08 I feel like that spell has variations that will be good for anyone who's trying to do like you're talking about one of the greatest thing is love magic can do is the first thing you do is remove what's not working. Yeah, so people might have been saying for I can see people that saying I attract people who want to date but not get serious. Okay, well, right down to paper, 'people who are not serious about me and that that's something to remove.' Hilary 1:03:29 or remove like past experiences,Courtney ? 1:03:31 or stop suffering.Hilary 1:03:33 I feel like the majority of like, I'd like I said, I did very little love magic this year. But previously, all the work I'd done was really really in removing like, kind of baggage from past heartache. You know, kind of like, because I think, you know, we tend to when we when we have tough experiences or we've gone through heartache or trauma, sometimes you build walls that are so high that no one can Get in. Right right and then you it's it's like you're protecting yourself but you're also shutting everybody else out.Courtney ? 1:04:05 Okay, so yeah, that's a good point.
