Alexis P. Morgan, my neighborhood village witch, joined me to talk about how she kept being called to learn magic and sorcery. We talk about the differences between hoodoo and voodoo, her Tarot card collection, and her primary community service - The Juno Jar. The winter Juno Jar is available starting on November 1, 2021, on a sliding scale. Happy Birthday Alexis! Thank you to Dave Coustan for editing this week's episode.

Some of us spend years learning how to say what we think, while others speak uncomfortable truths freely, right from the beginning. Neither version is particularly easy. My guest Alexis P. Morgan is the latter and she allows us to live vicariously while she generously shares some of her journey in regards to soul-speaking and truth-telling. As you would probably guess, it requires quite a bit of self care and support along the way, but it's worth it.

Strange Magic is created by art witches Sarah Faith Gottesdiener and Amanda Yates Garcia and is produced by music, sound, and art witch Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs. In this episode we discuss some ways we are consciously building inclusive Tarot practices.

Are you a gifted adult? if so, are you putting your intellectual gifts to good use? Today we're super thrilled to be talking to Alexis P. Morgan. Alexis fills her time and earns her keep as a writer, artist, and troublemaking socialite. She does all of this as the proprietress of her blog, Death, Sex, and Taxes. Alexis is a truly remarkable person who has really shared so much of herself in her work, and in her powerful writing about her navigations as a gifted adult. Listen in today to find out what Alexis has to share about finding balance, as a gifted adult. Black, leftist, and glorious, twenty-seven-year-old Alexis lives each day in the spirit of her devotion to truth, justice, and liberation. She particularly enjoys taking an ax to capitalism and oppressive fuckshit. She also loves spinning and telling tales about the universe and its many wonders. And oversharing about her own ongoing inner monologues. Listen in to find out what Alexis has to say about dealing with the challenges of having an overactive brain and really intense emotions. Show highlights: Alex explains how her recent diagnosis of relapsing, remitting multiple sclerosis has affected her. Alexis talks about her recent, bold decision to become trained as a professional dominatrix. Inspiring social change through her writing. Alexis initially started writing as a way of dealing with growing up in a toxic environment. Her really difficult time in school. How writing helped her to cope with her intensely active mind. Being morbidly intense at the age of six. Living in a state of hyper-arousal. Realizing that there are many different ways to use one's gifts. Alexis's interest in power dynamics. We live in a culture that's very antagonistic towards neurodiversity. Alexis sees herself as a culturally conditioned introvert in some ways. Intensity does not imply irrationality. Alexis uses her fire as a catalyzing force, rather than a destructive one. Alex speaks about her first exposure to the world of kink and sex-positive. How Alexis manages to relax.

African American writer Alexis P. Morgan may not carry a physical sword but her words cut clear into the heart of the matter and when I realised that the woman behind such powerful words was founded in the old Northern Folkways of Asetru as well as Vodoo, I could not help but ask the question how on earth did that happen? In this episode of The Magdalene Voices Alexis shares openly with us how the nordic faith of Asetru literally hit her on the head and then dragged her almost kicking and screaming into it, as is often the case for many of us when God (or whatever you want to call it) calls. I invite you to join us as Alexis graciously shares not only her journey, but also enormous wealth of knowledge and wisdom about two, perhaps lesser known, faiths and how she practices these. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL HEAR ALEXIS AND I TALK ABOUT: Why and how, she an African American woman converted to Asetru in 2013. How she world walked within when she was unable to practice openly. How the terms God or Goddess as well as the Christian faith did not vibe with her. The resonating answer to the profound question of how her ancestors survived what was seemingly unsurvivable. How christianity is part of whitenesses problem. The colonialism, protecting and validating colonialism as well as the spread of Christianity for the protection of the soul of “heathens”. What part Vodoo plays in her practice. How practicing a faith that at its core practices animal sacrifice has made Alexis more vegan and conscious about our animal kingdom, agriculture and planet as a whole. How lots gets taken out of context and painted as evil or heathen largely because of assimilation and because white people are afraid of black people who have power. The function of violence and how we haven't assigned a healthy place to it. How giving voice to anger creates freedom. – and much, much more…
In part one I explored what I call “The Gospel of Gary Vee”, and gave my perspective on the views of both held by Alexis P. Morgan and Douglas Karr. In this episode I'm going to make the point that Gary's message is often weaponized and used in an offensive manner in the same way the Christian gospel was used as a weapon during the bloody historical period known as The Crusades. I also highlight a viral, $100 To The Winner Of The Race, and provide perspective as to why Gary receives such a strong reaction from individuals like myself and Alexis P. Morgan. You'll Learn: How Gary Vaynerchuk's message of personal accountability gets taken out of context and used as a weapon. Why I had a falling out with a mastermind member who prescribed to Gary's way of thinking. How white privilege compromises some individuals ability to empathize (not sympathize but empathize) and give good advice. Where the deep seated frustration with Gary's gospel comes from. 3 Key Points: Gary's message gets abused by his followers to attack people in the same way the Christian Gospel was used to shed blood during the historical period of The Crusades. Personal accountability is not a license to be racially insensitive. The stakes are high and people have died. “Privilege blinds because is it the nature of privilege to blind.” ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

I sat down with writer Alexis P. Morgan recently and got to talk with her about what it means to be a spiritual warrior. Alexis P. Morgan is the pole-dancing, sword-wielding, democratic socialist, on-the-low-heaux sorceress you've been warned you about. She makes her cheddar as a professional writer, facilitator, artist, ritualist, and priestess. Devoted to Truth, Justice, and Liberation, she lives in the spirit of foremothers before her: unbossed, unbought, and unbothered.

This past September 11th an absolutely blistering Medium article about Gary Vee cropped up on my LinkedIn. In it the author makes an argument that unabashed capitalist such as Gary are tantamount to terrorists. Now if you listen to this show (or read the description) it should come as a surprise to no one I have my professional issues with Gary's stance on formal education. That being said, even this was a bit much for me. I was so taken aback I asked if this article was fair to Gary in Carlos Gil's private Social Media Mastermind Facebook Group. The conversation was lively with respectful discourse. My friend, fellow podcaster and ninth guest of this very podcast Douglas Karr chimed in with a perspective I think is representative of conservative Republicans who openly support Donald Trump (which Doug is among). In this episode I explore what I call “The Gospel of Gary Vee”, and give my perspective on the views of both Alexis P. Morgan and Douglas Karr. It's my sincere hope you gain both insight and clarity from this sensitive, yet much needed conversation. You'll Learn: Why Alexis P. Morgan is so damn mad at Gary (or not). Why I feel Alexis' overall argument is quite valid, despite to scathing tone. The disconnect between viewpoint of conservative Republicans like Douglas Karr and the realities of corporate opportunities based on my life experiences. How name discrimination and other social pressures informed my journey of entrepreneurship. The simple social experiment whites can take to experience the challenges Black face just getting into Corporate America. 3 Key Points: Even if you don't like the tone or form of expression someone uses, that doesn't make their argument mute. Opportunity without access is meaningless. White privilege exists and is a distinct business advantage.
