The Green Lion Podcast

This episode is different from previous episodes. It's a myriad of conversations about tough times, rough roads, and perseverance. At times, this episode gets kind of dark, but only because it's very real. It's also quite bright, and I hope that it serves as a flickering torch of hope for anyone who is currently going through hell. Happy Summer Solstice. I'll see you in the fall. Nick Chapel https://hermeticulture.org/ Octavian Graves https://www.strangedominionspodcast.com/ Seriah Azkath https://wheredidtheroadgo.com/http://www.thelastexit.org/ Special thanks to each of my guests for joining me on this adventure, and for opening up about their own lives. Remember, the way out is through, and you are not alone.

In this episode, I am blessed to have Victoria Misslin on for some conversation about energetic healing, divination, and perception. Victoria is a Tarot reader, a Reiki master, and a Light Worker. She runs Golden Rose Healing which can be found across the internet, especially at the following locations: Website - goldenrosehealing.com  @goldenrosehealing on instagram  Etsy - goldenrosehealing  Stay tuned until after the conversation for some information about the podcast's future direction. Long story short, my life has gotten busier in good ways, but left me with little time for the kind of dedication I wanted to be able to give this show. I still want to continue the show, and will be reducing the frequency of episodes, and hopefully sticking with a more regular schedule going forward. The next episode is planned for a June release. Thank you for listening!

Today I sat down with Paulie Skaja - my very own mom - to talk to her about a bunch of weird stuff. She has experienced a lot of amazing things in her life, from spirits and manifestation to business success and mindset transformation. She has made a huge difference in the lives of many people, including my own. I hope that you enjoy the episode, and I hope someone out there comes away from this conversation with a shift in perspective, or inspiration for achieving your dreams.

This is part two of my conversation about empaths, empathism, and emposis with Roejen Razorwire from Project Archivist, and Stephanie Quick! Please enjoy this more raw than usual episode. The audio quality had some issues in parts, but I think it's mostly listenable. I am working on getting a better set up for recording from Skype, in fact, Roejen has been helping me figure out options.

Happy Halloween everyone! In this episode, Stephanie Quick, and Roejen Razorwire of the Project Archivist Podcast join me to discuss what it's like being empathic, and how it can affect your day to day life. We cover a lot of ground in this four hour conversation. I broke it up into two chunks of two hours each. Apologies for the audio quality, after we recorded, I was given a piece of software that I can use in the future for recording Skype calls with better quality, but the chat had already been finished. Next time I do things with Skype it should sound better at least. Part two will be out in two weeks.

In this episode, Stephanie Quick and I talk about tree spirits, eyeball goo, and what it takes to understand each other's subjective experiences. What is the value of witness testimony? How can we create standards for legitimizing and documenting experiences, and what can we learn from people's particular tilt on something they've witnessed? Steph can be found on twitter @WanderinBritchz As well as on her blog, Ghost Dog is a Mystery Box , which is probably the best name for a blog I've ever heard. Steph can also be found on a variety of podcasts, including, but not limited to: Where Did the Road Go, 6 Degrees of John Keel, Project Archivist, and Conspirinormal.

Laura and I sit down to chat about her oracle deck and her many books, including her newest title, "Anatomy of a Witch", which is out now and available anywhere fine books are sold, including from Magus Books (which ships internationally), or directly through Llewellyn. We cover the gamut on this episode, from magical practices, to ghost cats, death rituals, celebrating existence and listening to each other, and many places in between. Laura is an artist in the truest sense of the word, a real tour de force in the world of magic and art (which I think are very much intertwined). She is a dancer, a painter, a writer, and a dreamer. Laura's words are quite poignant and never cease to amaze this humble reader. You can find Laura and her art on her website, lauratempestzakroff.com You can find her on Instagram @owlkeyme.arts And her LinkTree includes many other locations such as her blog, Patreon, shop, Portfolio, and much more.

In this double-digit episode, I sat down to talk with one of my favorite people, Roger Williamson. Roger is an artist extraordinaire, with more hand painted works than I can count, all of which showcase his incredible eye of the mystical. He has been a musician most of his life, and as we discuss in this episode, art and creativity have always been his muse. You can find his art at https://www.rogerwilliamsonart.com where prints and originals are available for purchase, and there is a wonderful online gallery of most - if not all - of Roger's paintings, including his Tarot deck, "Tarot of the Morning Star". Roger is the founder of Magus Books & Herbs, which opened in Minneapolis in September of 1992. Magus is a home for many people in our local communities, and people far and wide. It's a booktore, an apothecary, a tarot parlor, and a community hub where people get together for dance, yoga, discussions, classes, and so much more. If you're ever in Minneapolis, you've got to swing by North-East and visit Magus.

I met Nick at a book store a few years back, and we have been friends ever since.
