Happy Friday! This episode is inspired by noticing how many, many spiritualists suggest that the physical body is simply 'a vessel' whose physicality they ignore. Completely avoidable health issues, chain smoking, a love of McDonald's, an avoidance of moving towards physical health and fitness: all of this is super common amongst mediums and people who engage in spirituality and mediumship. In this episode, I argue that the physical body - and a healthy, fit relationship to embodiment (and yes, I say this as a disabled person myself) - can be foundational to being an even better and more accurate channel to the spiritual. Our physical body is the instrument through which we 'do' spirituality, be it mediumship, prayer, or something else. Witchcraft itself is a material form of spiritual practice: when we know our body better, when we treat it with love, care, and nourishment, our relationship to spirit and magic can only improve. Sorry, y'all: yes, eating well and working out will give you clearer access to the spiritual.
