The Soul Magic Podcast

In this episode, Alyssa begins by sharing  who she is as a person and how she just got started in her new business, Blyssful Magick, as a tarot reader and a Reiki Master Teacher. She  opens up about her present and overall goals for her business. The rest of the episode is a conversation between friends. We talk about Alyssa's favorite and least favorite tarot cards, how we need the ego a little bit to feed our confidence, how she's now in more of a creation mode this year and more! I honestly could've talked to Alyssa for hours. Be sure to follow her at @Blyssful_magick on instagram

Justice is quite a complex card. It asks us to look at what triggers us and to look within to find out why it does. It wants to back up our words with action and keep ourselves accountable. It can eventually lead us to having difficult conversations with family or friends about why we think a situation is wrong and unjust. Justice is a very black and white card. It asks us to see things for what they truly are with no sugar coating. Justice reminds us that in every decision we make there is a karmic reaction to consider. In this episode, I talk about the serval definitions for this card and how they apply to everyday life. The second part of the episode, I talk about having "radical acceptance." which is defined as, "practicing a conscious effort to acknowledge and honor difficult situations and emotions. Fully accepting things as they are, instead of ignoring, avoiding, or wishing the situation were different, can be a critical step in moving through a difficult experience to experiencing more meaning."I share recent experiences of my own life involving radical acceptance. As much as these pills were hard to swallow, it has truly made me realize there is no one to blame for my life being the way it is but me. 

In this episode, Jess begins by sharing her many services and talents she has under her Seven Pines and Spa Pamper Parties umbrella and how she left her 9-5 job in the midst of a pandemic to pursue her business. Jess is a hard working, single mom  and opens up about her struggles and triumphs of being a single mother entrepreneur. Jess is also a host on a podcast that she shares with her sister Julie Kraus. On the episode titled, "Live Life Coaching Session," Julie gives Jess a coaching session after Jess' appointment with her accountant. During the session, they get to get to the root of what feels off for Jess in her business. Jess realizes that she keeps parts of her business out of her old people pleasing behaviors. I was so inspired by her a-ha moment, I wanted to discuss it further. We also talk about the woes of being an entrepreneur and our personal signs of when we know we are reaching burnout. You can find Jess on instagram at @SevenPinesApothecary, @SpaPamperParties & @CutTheKarma

In addition to the three horizontal lines in the Major Arcana, there are also the seven vertical lines. Each one of these lines explore our personal relationship and discoveries of the egoic card in line one. In this episode, I review the three lines of the Major Arcana and how they guide us through our soul's evolution. I also cover the purpose of the Minor Arcana and what their purpose is. I then go into the card meanings and vertical line of the Hierophant, The Hanged Man and The Sun. 

In this episode, I interview Nicole Hope about her experience with practicing and coaching breathwork. We begin with her personal journey with breathwork and how it made her eventually want to get certified in coaching it. She explains the benefits of breathwork and gives beginners a few tips on how to get started. We go on to share our personal favorites too! Nicole is also a podcast host! Check out her podcast, Expand with Nicole, on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, I explore the linear progression of the 4, 5 and 6 Cups. We being at the four where we learn to trust timing. It invites us to looking at our commitments and truly seeing if there is space for it. If we trust that it is meant for us, it will eventually find its way back to us. But after the release, we can experience disappointment and upset. The five of cups invites us into that space to give ourselves permission to grieve. Then in the six of cups, we begin to reopen our hearts again and feel emotions with child like wonder. This episode also covers each reversal definition. 

Hey Hey! Gina is back with Tarot Talk. In this episode, we pulled two sets of three cards to give us topics to talk about. Listen in to hear our different interpretations of card definitions and how we deal and work with imposter syndrome and heart centered living. 

Being an Aquarius rising, Saturn rules my birth chart according to the traditional house system. Saturn is the big daddy in the sky who teaches us about boundaries, rules and what we're worth. Saturn just ended a 2 1/2 year transit through my first house of self. 2020-2023 have been a huge expansive years for me. I went though some of my hardest lessons and heart breaks to learn how I was abandoning myself. In this episode, I will take you through the events in my life that had to happen to get me to wake the fuck and treat myself with respect. I am still in awe and a little heartbroken that Saturn left this place. Saturn isn't always easy to work with. But I am forever indebted to it for the monumental lessons I've learned.Listen in as I share with you how it had to take 2 1/2 years to teach me my most important life lesson yet…how to love myself, first. 

I firmly believe that if you are an entrepreneur, you need to hire a business coach at least once in your career.  A good business coach will help you bust through limiting beliefs,  be organized, and make your dreams come into fruition.  In this episode, I interview my friend and business coach, Shannon. The episode begins with us getting to know Shannon, her spiritual practices, how she left her 9-5 durning the pandemic to pursue her own business and how she evolved from a regular business coach to finding her niche with spiritual entrepreneurs. We finish the episode with a few of her tips and tricks to get unstuck when you're in funks, advice on how to get started on your own career and some of the personality traits that are important for a successful entrepreneurship. Follow Shannon at Shannong.virtually on Instagram and TikTok. 

This episode highlights the collective card of the year, The Chariot. Listen in to learn the different meanings that the Chariot can hold. I also discuss the linear progression from The Emperor, the card for 2020, to the Chariot. Also in this episode, I teach you how to calculate collective, birth and your own personal year cards. I also touch on what Line 1 in the Majors is and what we learn there. 

In this episode, I interview my good friend Julie. She talks about Ghosts, Poltergeists and Demons! We start off discussing the differences of these energies and how they can develop or already exist in your home. She also shares her experiences with hauntings and coming face to face with a demonic energy. We finish the episode with Julie giving suggestions on how to keep you and your house clear of these dark energies. Julie is an amazing Psychic Medium and Intuitive Life Coach.

Well friends...if you spent August and September in the shitty, murky waters, here's the shift we've been waiting for! Mercury has begun stationing direct along with 6 other planets. It was an all around difficult energy to move through. But the 3 of cups is inviting us into fun energy! Reminding us to take time to spend with our friends, our rituals, and with the lessons that we have learned. We are also invited into care taking ourselves to help us recenter from this challenging time. I finish the episode with a brief Q & A. I discuss how different decks have different energies and how to find out what they're presenting. I go through my personal decks and which ones I use for certain readings. The last questions is about spreads. I walk you through how to read a spread! There's a super easy trick to learn any spread. So be sure to listen in to learn more!!!!Spread of the Month:September in Review: Hanged ManEnergy for October: 3 of CupsEnergy to Work With: Queen of Pentacles ReversedEnergy to Release or Avoid: Knight of Pentacles ReversedRoot: 5 of Wands Reversed

September asks us to slow down even more than we think we need to. Some of us may be  feeling some of the reverberations of August's energy. The 2 of Swords and the High Priestess lead me to believe there are  disconnects with our intuition this month. It seems to be linked from disconnecting from our inner power.   If you have been feeling this energy still from August, it is time for healthy distractions. It's ok for now to check out with some TV therapy or trying something new! The Sun reversed wants us to get out and spend sometime outside or with friends. You never know what may spark a smile or creative ideas! Sometimes we need to force joy on ourselves to force us out of funks. Be mindful of new ideas or thoughts coming in! Make sure you take the time to think things through and don't be impulsive. The 7 of Wands also reminds us that at this time we want to work smarter and not harder! So for this month, take it slow, listen to your intuition and try to dabble in some joy!Spread of the Month:August in Summary: 2 of Swords ReversedEnergy for September: High Priestess ReversedGood Energy We Can Work with: The Sun ReversedNegative Energy We Will be Working With: Ace of SwordsRoot: King of Wands ReversedMessage from Spirit: 7 of Wands Reversed

I met Krystal at Anahata's Purpose in 2020 where she took me back to a galactic passed life. In this passed life, I made a contract to fight other peoples battles. She guided me through the process of tracking the origin of this belief and then deleting it across all space and time. What Krystal does is hard to explain. She uses a mix of all of her modalities: Reiki, Access Bars, Coding, etc. to find the origin of where we bought old stories, contracts or ideas of ourselves. She is one of the most eclectic healers I know. Her topics of interest are just as diverse from aliens, to coding, to crystals, portals and MORE!She‘ll definitely be back on the Podcast because in the episode, we just scratched the surface of Krystal's many talents.Listen in to learn more about Krystal and stop by her shop, Energy Ripple in Bristol, Pa for a session and items for your metaphysical needs. 

August is going to be a challenging month. The energy for the month foretells road blocks, delays, and lack of direction. The plus side to listening to energy readings is that we can better prepare ourselves for what lies ahead. So knowing we will be up against delays etc., we can lean into resting, taking breaks, and choosing to assess rather than push forward. The Son of Wands in this spread also reminds us that sometimes we just need to tap out from the energy surrounding us and just have fun and participate in things that bring us joy. Take things slow this month. Get out your journals, and some arts and crafts! Dabbling in a different medium from time to time can help you get through creative blocks. Spread of the Month:July in Summary: TemperanceEnergy for August: Ace of Wands ReversedGood Energy We Can Work with: Son of WandsNegative Energy We Will be Working With: 9 of Swords ReversedRoot: 10 of SwordsMessage from Spirit: 3 of Wands Reversed

This, "A Message from Angels" Spread from Emerald Lotus Divination, is one that I often turn to in times of pain, loss and confusion. The current state of our country has been really getting me down. The cost of everything is increasing, Roe Vs. Wade, mass shootings, and a possible recession on its way. In this reading, I pulled the Archangel Zadkiel (pronounced  ZAADKIYL), who is the Archangel of Transformation, as a signifier card. The message in the reading is how can we understand that we are moving through a time of change and that not all change is easy. At this time, we need to practice non attachment but connection with each other. Listen to the full Episode for the full Message from Zadkiel. 

In this episode, I begin with defining Spiritual Bypassing, naming bypassing phrases and long term affects of it. I close by sharing my recent “Ah-ha moment!” about how I have been Spiritual Bypassing because, "there's is nothing I can do about it."I hope this Episode helps you uncover ways that you may not be fully honoring and moving through your emotions. It is hard to be honest with ourselves and sit in emotions that don't bring us joy. But processing emotions is the only way we can continue to take on radical acceptance and heal.

Today, I have my friend and first guest on the Podcast, one of my best girlfriends, Gina!Gina and I LITERALLY talk Tarot everyday! We either ask each other for insight on cards or pull cards for each other. The thing I love most about our Tarot Talks is that we don't see every card the same. I think our chats would be beneficial for everyone to hear who is learning or already working with the Tarot. In this episode, I interview Gina about how she came to and learned the Tarot. At the end, we pull a few cards and discuss what we think about them. Some are the same! Some are different. We both hope our chats are educational and helpful. And that they make you fall in love with the Tarot as much as we are!

I am not a professional astrologer but I do listen to the forecasts. In May, we are still in eclipse season and Mercury is in its shadow period before it station retrograde at the end of the month. May is going to be a doozy and this reading reflects that. As we move through these challenging energies, it is important for us to release and not hold onto what is no longer serving us. It is a month for us to move fluidly like the cups suit but to also take charge of other things like we do in the wands suit. Just remember, no matter how hard it gets....it's for your highest and best good and spirit is with you every step of the way!Energy for the month: Death is in the Healing & Rainbow What we are releasing: Reset and The Veil is ThingWhat we need to embrace: The FarmHow to care take ourselves this month: Be Your Own DaddyMessage from spirit: Magic is ImmediateDeck: Postcards from the Liminal Space

In this episode, I take you on a deep dive through the Aces: The Ace of Cups, Wands, Swords and Pentacles. The Aces are the spark or seed of each suit. They are the fullest of potential of each element but do not have a defined purpose yet. The Aces are very much similar to the Fool and the Magician. Both of these archetypes let us know that we are limitless beings. The Ace of Cups invites us into a new relationship with self-love, emotions and creativity. The Ace of Wands invites us into learning new ways to work with our own creative and personal energy. The Ace of Swords invites into looking at situations with new perspectives or ideas. Finally, The Ace of Pentacles invites us into a long haul goal that will take time to accomplish. These cards are a few of my favorites. When I see them, I know some type of magic is trying to unfold in their life. Come take a journey with me through the Aces!

In this episode, I talk about my experience with perfectionism. Perfectionism is often thought as a positive form of achievement. However, it is a behavior that is often entangle with guilt and shame. I talk about how Dr. Brene Brown, author and psychologist, defines perfectionism, my own Ah-Ha moments about seeing how I was/am a perfectionist and I did and do to help myself come to awareness on my behavior. I also discuss how the 8 of Pentacles in Reversed, 5  of Wands and the 10 of Cups show us how perfectionism can be toxic, messy and steal joy. I end the episode with the energy forecast for April: Energy of the Month: 7 of Pentacles, What are we leaving behind?: The Hierophant, What should we embrace: 2 of Cups Reversed, How to caretake ourselves?: 5 of Wands Reversed, Message from Spirit: 10 of Pentacles, Root: The World

This episode I give the collective energetic reading for the Month of March. Energy of the Month: 8 of Wands Reversed, What are we leaving behind? 7 of Cups, What should we embrace? 8 of Pentacles Reversed, How to Care Take Ourselves This Month: 9 of Sword Reversed, Message from Spirit: The Hermit Reversed, The Root: The World Reversed. March seems to be a month of experiencing frustration. Frustration can show us areas of our lives that we are not happy, experiencing set backs or in a process of growth. 

In this episode, I talk about what Tarot is and what it is not. So often, people come up to me and say they don't want readings because they are scared I am going to tell them that they're going to die. Which, I can testify, has never happened. The Tarot is a beautiful, intuitive tool that invites us to unlock 78 Secrets. These secrets will help us get reacquainted with who we are and help us evolve into the enlightened versions of ourselves. At times, the tarot can be your BFF that gives you a good wake up to your behaviors and decisions. It can also be your cheerleader that tells you you're doing great and on the right path. Listen in to find out why the Tarot is nothing to be afraid of. But rather a tool to help you live a more fulfilling life. 

In this episode, I introduce myself, Colleen. I explain why and how I started my healing journey 10 years ago. I dive into the purpose of this Podcast and my hope that it also helps you on your own healing journey. I end the episode with a reading for the Month of February: Energy of the Month: The Emperor, What are we leaving behind? Three of Pentacles, What should we embrace? Daughter of Swords, How to Care Take Ourselves This Month: Son of Cups Reversed, Message from Spirit: King of Pentacles.
