In this episode, I have Nick from The Occult Rejects back on the show, because we had so much to discuss!
We start off by chatting about Nick's departure from the OTO, whether or not masculine/feminine energy has anything to do with how communities kick people out or welcome people in (and deal with people who leave).
Then we talk a bit about prison, and what spirituality looks like in a prison context - prison magic! I was excited to ask Nick about this, since in my tarot practice over the years I've had multiple people contact me from jail/prison wanting tarot readings from me over the phone. He has a lot of interesting things to say about what kinds of mystical, spiritual, and occult books are available in prison.
We also get into a personal love of mine, fitness and weightlifting - and how lifting weights is related to alchemy, magic, spirituality, and self-transformation. We get into physical embodiment, and the difference(s) between the mental and physical form(s) of magic; weightlifting as magic, meditation, and more. Why are so many folks in the spiritual space so disembodied, and don't focus on their own physical body? A fun convo!! Don't miss it!
In this very fun fourth episode of The Heal and Harm Show with Sabrina Scott, I chat with Dr Natalia Zhikhareva, otherwise known as Dr Z PhD, or the Tarot Shrink!
We chat about the self-help and self-healing space, and about how to work with tarot for self reflection and healing in a way that moves us forward in our growth, rather than holding us back.
We talk about psychology and tarot, the problems with self-diagnosis and overly identifying with a victim identity or victim mindset. We talk about the emotionally volatile times we are in, and how to move through that as we heal our traumas, triggers, and wounds - and the importance of emotional self-regulation, exposing ourselves to different ideas despite the proliferation of echo chambers.
We also discuss masculine/feminine energy and polarity between the two! We touch on feminine energy in the tarot, and Dr Z shares some advice for any women who are currently struggling in love.
