0:01Welcome to Demystify Magic with Molly and Madison.I'm Molly, a former skeptic turned full time energy healer and.Teacher and I'm Madison, a born and raised witch running my family's crystal shop.And we're here to explore all things woo through the lens of both science and spirituality, so that you can find the moments of magic in your everyday life and create an intentional spiritual practice.0:20So if that's what you're into, find a cozy spot, take a deep breath, and let's demystify some magic.Howdy Doody friends.Howdy Doody.We have a very special episode for you this week because we did our first ever Demystify Magic live and in the Flesh Woo and we had so much fun and we feel like we have no choice but to share it with you guys.0:46It was the bestest time.Thank you to everyone who came to say hi and stayed for the live recording.We had a blast.It was really, really so lovely.We felt so lucky.It felt like my magic moment of my lifetime.I was like, wow, this is not real.This does not feel.1:02Real How will I ever have a magic moment ever again after this?There's like that was the peak of all magic.It was such a magic moment for us that we didn't start the episode with our magic moments.We invited the crowd to submit theirs.We forgot to tell them we were going to read them on the pod so.1:18So they're a little chaotic.But we hope you enjoy, we love you so much.Thank you for an amazing, amazing year of Demystify Magic and looking forward to a million more.I can't wait to do this from the nursing home with you.Yay.OK, enjoy.1:34Bye but also.Hi, Howdy Doody.Howdy Doody.All right friends, welcome to the first ever live Demystify magic.Seriously, thank you all for being here.It's honestly it's it's it's surreal the community that has come together with this podcast.1:55We are like Madison said, we're just two Ding dongs with microphones that we bought on Amazon and one day decided to talk to each other in front of computer screens and then put it out on the Internet.And so the fact that you all came, many of you traveled, took planes and cars and bicycles probably or but you're all here in the flesh and we get to hug you and high five you and say hi to you is just, dare I say, bonkers.2:24It's my magic moment.It's my.Magic moment, yeah.Retweet to everything Molly just said.Especially like everyone who has come to the store before even or it's just, I can't fathom it.It feels so weird and I get really emotional when I think about it.So thank you.2:40It really means a lot to me and like to my whole family.I know especially thank you for making me look good in front of my mom who was here earlier.Yeah, there's just, there's just two celebrities in Mom's eyes, and some of you made shirts and some of you brought us presents, and it's just bonkers.2:59So since you obviously know our magic moment, we asked you to write your magic moments.And so we are going to read these for the collective.All right, So some of you, I hope you put something funny in here.All right, Should we just go back and forth?3:14Yeah, let's do it.All right.Just gonna make me cry.And if you all wrote that it's being here, I, we, it'll just be a sob fest.This one says my magic moment is the absolute kindness and warmth Eminem and Anthony have shown me in my journey, no?Also, Anthony wanted me to tell you all that he was very sad that he couldn't stay.3:34He got very last minute invitations to see Chapel Rowan and we encourage that behavior.In the house manifested it OK no here's what happened is here's.Anthony's magic.Moment here's Anthony's and I'm telling the story for Anthony because I I felt it the moment he said it he came in he he came out of his reading and he mentioned that Jared can't come to dinner with us because he's going to see Chapel Rowan and in my head I was like.3:56Jared's his husband.I was like, Anthony is going to be going to that show.It's like I cause Jerry got very last minute tickets and I was like, Anthony's gonna find the last minute ticket.I knew it.I knew it.So when he said I was like, yeah, I'll see you later.All right, What's what's the next magic moment?4:12OK.My magic moment is getting consistent with grounding and shielding.I love that.That has been something that's come up a lot for me and for other people.I've seen that be like a really common theme, so I'm glad.Yay, all right.I recognize your handwriting, Andrew.4:29I don't I don't even know Drew's handwriting.And I was like, my magic moment was there was caramel popcorn.I know they were going to breath a.4:49Lot and that's my partner in line meeting Madison IRL at the new moon ritual and Anthony being there too.And today meeting Molly IRL after taking Reiki 1.Love this, love this.Oh my gosh this is this is a lot of words.5:05My magic moment is here today.I stepped way outside of my comfort zone to come here tonight, but I am internally fangirling so hard being here with Molly and Madison.Love you guys.Watching Molly and Madison.5:21Oh I dropped it laugh so hard over my shirt.I love the demystify slash spellcrafter community you both have built.Thank you.I really didn't think this would be like the opposite of a roast.I know.We're like.This is the most self-centered thing I think we've ever done.5:39Oh OK, my magic moment is my husband requested a working for his job search and he is currently talking to his dream job.Feeding giraffes.This is my.Favorite really stuck your neck out for them.6:00Oh OK, Meeting Christina here and getting more direction towards sport related focus moving forward.Sport related focus moving forward.Did not know these were being read out loud.6:17Oh, that's nice.And then my magic moment is being here with You Beautiful souls today.That's also our magic moment.So what a perfect one to finish on.What a perfect one.All right, You want to read?What are you doing?What?What is the reading?What's the theme of the reading?Is it for the community?6:32Is it for the next year?Is it for just for funsies?All of the above.Love it.I think we're going to figure out when we start.OK, great.That's kind of how all my readings exist.We're just going to figure it out as we go.I'm going to pull a couple cards from Tarot and then from my favorite Oracle deck, the Animal Apothecary Oracle deck to finish us off Love it.6:49Let's do it.So it's really funny actually, I did a reading for someone like right before we started that had this first card, the hangman in it.And I feel compelled to say the same thing that I said to her.There's an energy of like being torn between two worlds.That's how I often see the hangman of like there's there's a door and you were in the middle and there are two people or two entities or two energies or two paths or whatever.7:14It is like playing tug of war with you in either direction.And on one side there's this level of expansion.There's this poet that I love who has this line that I will butcher now where she says the it's reference to yoga.7:30The hardest thing about the thing about Lotus is it's much harder to stay than it is to go or much harder to go than it is.What is it?No, it's much harder to stay than it is to go.And that's what feels important to share.7:45I don't know, sometimes the sometimes the hardest thing is stillness and self reflection and things that, you know, the most important new beginnings don't often look like new beginnings.They they're often very mundane feeling.8:05And the message here really seems to be to find the beauty in that mundane because that's the portal.That's the tug of war.What's going to pull you through to the other side, to this new beginning is sitting in stillness and recognizing.And you know, I feel like the advice I give to everybody all the time is just to meditate, to meditate, to meditate.8:26And so I'm going to say it again that it's time to go inward because that's the only way to work through the pain that needs to be let go of to reach that true expansion.If you could just oh and ah for the part thank you, thank you.8:45I pulled the Hangman, the Star, the Page of Pentacles, and the Three of Swords in reverse.And what's funny is the star was on the bottom of the deck when I picked it up.And I had the thought of like, oh, you should, you should pull that out.Thank.9:01You y'all are a great studio audience so I just have to say thank you Saint Petersburg.This is another card that came out for me recently in reading the Justice card with the Three of Pentacles.9:20And is there anything else?We're just gonna.Oh, OK, OK.I have the Three of Pentacles, the Justice card, and the Queen of Cups in reverse.So keep doing what you're doing.You are going to get what you deserve, but you've got to feel what you've got to feel like it's time to do.9:39It's time to do what you have to do and feel what you have to feel.That's what the key is.Feeling what you need to feel, moving through it, sitting with it, letting it exist.That's where the magic is, is in reaching like a state of almost acceptance with the human experience of I think that in a spiritual community, we do a lot of this like I'm supposed to be better than this almost when you experience like negative emotion.10:04And you said, I think we've talked about this on the podcast before of the idea of switching the word lower vibration with slower vibration because there's no like connotation with the word slow.Like we came here to Earth.If this if you believe that you that we all came here and decided to be here as human beings.10:21Like you came here because you wanted to experience the full wide berth of the human experience, and like the really shitty parts of being human are also a part of that.And so it's time to feel those things.Long story short.Yay.10:36Cry it out and meditate about it.And then I'll finish with one here.Actually, Molly, will you pull the Animal Apothecary deck?And I'm going to read straight from the guidebook because nobody does it like the woman who wrote this guidebook and made this deck.I'm not going to pretend to interpret it better than what she has to say because I love this deck so much.10:55She threw them at me.There was two.There was two.You all saw it.I did not do that spitefully.A turtle, Oh my God.Oh, and also this one has three cups on it, which is the card of friendship.11:11OK, we're gonna go with the three of cups or the magnetism through gratitude.Turkey.It's a Turkey.It is.It is 3 cups with hearts in it and then a magnet and then a Turkey underneath it so.Excellent.11:30Right on cue, everyone.Turkey's medicine comes to speak to us about abundance and prosperity through the virtue of gratitude.When we're thankful for what we currently have, life draws to us more things to be grateful for.You are on the verge of super magnetism.11:48Turkey Medicine says you draw in dynamic levels of abundance through gratitude.Creating and continuously deepening your practice of gratitude will act like a spark that ignites the charge of your magnetism.What accomplishments have you achieved?12:03What desires have you worked so hard toward that have manifested?Focus on these achievements and truly appreciate them.A wonderful daily practice is creating a gratitude journal.Take a few minutes every day to write down all the things you are grateful for.12:19To really connect to the feeling of gratitude, try listening to music that moves you deeply while writing in your journal.If you want to take it a step further, try gratitude dancing.Put on the music that amps you up, move and dance in gratitude and thank the universe for all you have received and will receive.12:43This is a powerful technique and lots of fun to do with friends too.Turkey's medicine comes with something special and profound is being conjured up in the universe for you to receive.Discipline your gratitude practice and get ready for your magnetism to ignite.13:01Next, the turtle.Sea turtles migrate thousands of miles each year while swimming at a slow, methodical pace.The key medicine is that what you wish to manifest will take dedicated, consistent and patient effort.Land Turtle reinforces this message about the slow process towards your desire.13:20Further speaking to us about how grounded this point of view is.Nothing represents being grounded quite like the land turtle, built sturdy and close to Mother Earth.Small consistent efforts will lead to long lasting success.Be patient, do not rush for immediate rewards.Understand that immediate gratification cannot sustain what is needed for long term success.13:39Shortcuts yield short term success and instant gratification is for the weak mind.Sea turtle is not instantly born in the sea.Swimming towards his goal he first miss build, his muscles slowly breaking out of his shell and journeying towards his desire to be in the great sea.Allow things to develop at their own pace and plan for a lengthy dedication towards your goal.13:58This is a very promising card as it speaks to happy results.You are building something great and it's full fruition takes time.Turtles Medicine shares that slow and steady efforts are the of the most importance to you.Something powerful is in development.What is built slowly stands longer.So what you're saying is we should come out of our shell?14:14And do a little dance.Don't have to tell me twice.Hey Siri, play Erin's party.Come get it, I love that, love that.Anything else you want to add to the reading?I don't think so.14:30Now it's your turn to be on the spot.All right, so now it's my turn to be on the spot.So those of you who who don't know, maybe you do know, maybe we've talked about it before, but whenever we do these readings and the meditations, I don't know what I'm doing until after I hear the reading.But what dropped in very clearly was this, the words of like, stillness, slow gratitude, and then like almost like this playful element to stillness, like a playful element to like that sitting in the ick.15:02All's that to say, I have no idea what that's gonna translate to, but I'm gonna invite you to put your feet on the floor.Now.I also feel called to invite you.If you want to sit on the floor, you're welcome to.15:18We mop regularly.Yeah, I just feel like I have some floor sitters in the in the house tonight and just giving you that option there.Here I go.All right, put your feet on the floor wherever you are.It could be the sides of your feet.It could be the bottoms of your feet.It could be the tops of your feet.15:34It could be any part of your feet.If you want to be in toe stance like the ballet people, by all means, go nuts and wiggle your toes.So give them a little wig.Wig, little wiggle, wiggle.15:52Shut up, Madison, so they're laughing at me.Wig out.Wiggle your toes.No, but bring your awareness down to your feet by wiggling your toes.Just feel them in your socks and your sandals and your bare feet.Seize and take a deep breath.16:14Now, as you exhale, open your mouth, clear it out.Do that again.Inhale, make a sound, don't be shy and just bring your awareness to your feet, any part of your feet that makes contact with something else, the floor, the sides of your legs, your shoes.16:50And just ask yourself, what is there to be grateful for when it comes to my feet?A lot of times we think of our feet like, oh, my toenail Polish is chipping or oh, they stink or oh, they're sweaty or whatever.17:08But when was the last time you thanked your feet for helping you move forward in life?Maybe just offer a little thank you to your feet, your toes, your shoes, maybe a little thank you to the earth underneath your feet.17:40Gravity.When was the last time you thanked gravity?And the image that keeps coming through for me is like when thinking about thanking gravity is without it, we would be like that scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when they're like floating up with the bubbles about to get hit by the ceiling fan.18:05Gravity keeps us safe, keeps us grounded and supported.It always has our back.And when it comes to the Physiology of your body, gravity is strength.18:26The astronauts, when they go up into space, they lose something like 11% of their bone mass every month when they're in zero gravity, especially in the low back.And so that gravity, that impact we have on our bones physically keeps us upright, physically keeps our bones strong.18:58And gravity is just one manifestation of stress.That stress of gravity is what allows our bones to grow, to stay dense, to support the whole body.19:22We need stress.And so maybe there's something that has been weighing on you, something stressful in your life, a decision, an experience, a relationship.19:45And as shitty as it feels, can you find an element of gravity in that situation?Can you find a little speck of gratitude, of appreciation within the muck?20:06Maybe it's your ability to set boundaries?To grow, to strengthen in some way, just like your bones.But for the next couple of breaths, can you lean into that, finding the gravity in that stressful experience of life?21:12Take a deep breath and open your mouth and let it go.Bring your awareness back to your feet.What is there to be grateful for in the feet once again?21:32Maybe it's that connection.21:54Now bring your awareness to your whole body and just imagine your whole body could fill with the same gratitude you feel for your feet.22:14It's like that gravity fills your whole body from the top of your head all the way down to the tips of your toes.Let your whole body fill with that gratitude and I'll invite you to just ask your body if it wants to move in any way, shape or form.22:47Just allow it to do that.23:00And since our turtle card mentioned gratitude dancing, if you'd like to continue moving in a more vivacious way, you're welcome to.23:38Oh my God, that is making a mess.Anyways, thank you so much for being here.I hope you feel filled with the joy and gratitude of that song.That was so fun.So fun So.23:54Fun, such a good time.I love the oohs and the Ahs and I can't wait to see what Lily does with them.I need them actually Lily, this is a request.I'm going to need them in ringtone form.Every time I get a text, I want it to go.The crowd got really good at it too.24:11They were good listeners.They were punctual.It was, it was the best crowd I could imagine.And I was not the one who flew the furthest to get there.There was someone who came from even northern Earth, northern than me even.24:29So thank you so much again, I hope you enjoyed and we will see you next week where we'll be covering some low maintenance summer solstice rituals.Yes.And then we're going to do our summer solstice episode.We're going to do it a little bit differently than last year now that we have a full year of solstice and equinox episodes under our belt.24:49And then we are going to be sharing the Q&A portion of the live show, which is even more chaotic than what you just listened to.It gets better, folks.It just keeps getting better.It's just like a fine wine.I could just already tell.And, and after that, we are going to start a series on the pod about the chakras.25:09You all have been requesting it and requesting it requesting it.And we decided it could be fun to split this into an 8 week series.So we're going to cover the chakras as a whole.And then we're going to do a low effort rituals episode for each of the seven major chakras on the spine.So if you have any questions or requests when it comes to learning about the chakras, go ahead and submit them to us in the form LinkedIn, the show notes, so that we can make sure to answer all your questions and look forward to that.25:36I think it's going to be a lot of fun.Yeah.So we will see you next week.Bye.Thanks for
