In this illuminating episode, Morgan shines a light on the often-overlooked power of sun magick. While the moon tends to take center stage in modern witchcraft, Morgan invites listeners to reconnect with the sun as a potent force of divine masculine energy, success, vitality, and transformation.  She explores the history of solar worship and reflects on how societal shifts may have pulled witches away from solar reverence. Through personal stories and actionable tips, Morgan offers ways to work with sun energy: whether it's casting midday success spells, working with solar deities, or simply embracing the warmth of the sun as a spiritual resource. If you've been moon-obsessed but solar-curious, this episode will inspire you to reimagine your relationship with the sun and find balance in both celestial energies.  For Patreon members, this week's bonus content includes ways to bring more sun magick into your daily practice.  If you enjoy Busy, Gritty, Inked, & Witchy, please like and subscribe.

In this episode, we follow the journey of Pietro De Laurentis – an Italian Sinologist whose deep passion for Chinese calligraphy has turned him into a bridge between East and West. From his first trip to China in 1998 to his current role of teaching Chinese calligraphy history at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Pietro has spent more than two decades immersed in the rhythms of Chinese culture. Along the way, he's wandered through ancient stele forests, unraveled the mysteries of thousand-year-old scripts, and helped bring Chinese calligraphy to global academic prominence.

In this joyful and spontaneous episode, Morgan shares a personal story that turned a disappointing weekend into a vibrant magickal lesson. What started as canceled plans to see a favorite comedian transformed into a weekend of laughter, intuition, and surprise wins at the casino—all because she followed what felt good.  Morgan dives into why fun is her second most important magickal tool (after intention) and how moments of joy, laughter, and pleasure are not only healing but also energetically powerful. She explores how these emotional states activate key energy centers in the body, raise your vibration, and bring more potency to your spellwork and manifestations.  This episode is a celebration of following your inner spark, letting your intuition lead, and remembering that serious magick doesn't always have to be so serious. Morgan invites you to reconnect with the playful witch within and see what opens up when you let yourself laugh, giggle, and enjoy the process.  For Patreon members, this week's bonus content is a personal list from Morgan: Five Ways to Add More Joy to Your Life, including practices and rituals she uses herself to keep her magick light, fun, and flowing.  If you enjoy Busy, Gritty, Inked, & Witchy, please like and subscribe.

In this episode, Morgan dives into easy meditation practices for busy or neurodivergent witches. After receiving a flood of interest from a recent social media post about her simple nine-minute daily meditation, she decided to break down her approach and offer support for those who struggle to “quiet the mind.”  Morgan busts the myth that meditation requires a completely blank mind or rigid stillness. She shares realistic and accessible ways to meditate—including movement-friendly techniques and her whimsical “hookah smoke” trick for releasing intrusive thoughts. You'll also learn about three core types of meditation (mindfulness, concentration, and guided), how to find what works best for you, and the importance of customizing your practice to fit your needs.  She walks listeners through tips on creating a supportive meditation environment, using tools like soundscapes and guided journeys (with special praise for The Honest Guys on YouTube), and encourages consistency over perfection.  Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers supportive guidance and humorous insights grounded in real life.  For Patreon members, this week's bonus content includes a detailed look at Morgan's personal daily meditation routine—available to all tiers starting at $5/month.  If you enjoy Busy, Gritty, Inked, & Witchy, please like and subscribe.

'Tis the season to show some skin! Perhaps some tattoo-adorned skin? In this week's episode, Ben tells Amory about the r/tattoos community's reaction to a man whose friends made him self-conscious about his flowery tattoo. Amory tells Ben about the science behind why tattoos stay put on our bodies, which has only recently come to be understood.

In this off-the-cuff and heart-led episode, Morgan invites you into a real-time reflection on burnout, pressure, and the magick of a pattern interrupt. With no notes and no planned topic, she hits record to share a transformative moment sparked by somatic movement, meditation, and a spontaneous trip to the antique store. What unfolded was a powerful realization: pushing harder isn't always the answer. Morgan explores the pressure she's been putting on herself as a business owner, mother, and witch—and how doing something fun and unexpected completely unblocked her creativity and brought her back into flow.  She shares the importance of honoring divine feminine energy, the signs of misalignment, and the freedom that comes from giving yourself permission to pause and pivot. For Patreon members, this week's bonus content is a continuation of this moment of truth—an unscripted, unfiltered follow-up recording where Morgan shares whatever flows through once the mic is back on.

In this episode, Morgan climbs on her soapbox with fiery passion to talk about a topic she's felt strongly about for nearly 20 years: why you should stop paying people to cast spells for you. Sparked by a recent impersonation scam using her name and photos to sell $210 spells, Morgan gets real about the dangers, the manipulation, and the loss of personal power that can come from outsourcing your magick. She shares an unforgettable story from her early days owning a metaphysical shop, where she helped a woman reclaim her hoodoo roots and cast a successful spell for herself—after months of being scammed by others.  From there, Morgan dives into five powerful reasons why no one can cast a spell better than you can. She covers everything from the predatory nature of love and twin flame spells to the risk of handing your energy and money over to strangers with unknown intentions. This episode is tough love wrapped in empowerment. Morgan isn't here to shame—but she is here to remind you that YOU are the magick.

In this empowering episode, Morgan dives deep into the often-overlooked Queen archetype—the missing link between Mother and Crone in the traditional triple goddess model. She shares her personal connection to this phase, how it has shown up in her spiritual journey, and why it deserves to be embraced as its own sacred stage of life.  Morgan explains how the Queen archetype blends sovereignty, confidence, compassion, and boundaries into one powerful identity. She also walks listeners through how Queen energy differs from Maiden curiosity, Mother nurturing, and Crone wisdom, and why so many women find themselves floating in that in-between space, unsure where they belong.   If you've ever felt like you're not quite a mother anymore but definitely not ready to be called a crone, this episode is for you.  For Patreon members, this week's bonus content includes Morgan's favorite magickal helpers for embodying Queen energy, such as gemstones, oils, and tools to support you as you step into your power.

In this episode, Morgan shares a deeply personal update on her psychic development journey—nearly one year to the day since she first opened up about it in episode 120. What started as a desire to reconnect with her gifts turned into what she now calls an “accidental psychic experiment.” Through small, intentional shifts in her mindset and daily practices, Morgan found herself reconnecting to her intuitive abilities in powerful, unexpected ways. She walks listeners through the incremental changes she made—like journaling, daily tarot pulls, and saying “fuck it, let's do it”—that ultimately led to breakthroughs in hearing, seeing, and feeling psychic messages again. Morgan gets honest about the fears that held her back, how tarot became the doorway for her reawakening, and the freedom she feels now that she's fully honoring her intuitive self. This one is emotional, empowering, and packed with wisdom for anyone on a similar path of reawakening.

In this episode, Morgan dives into a fascinating topic—physical symptoms that may have spiritual origins. She shares ten common symptoms that can signal energetic misalignments, upgrades, or deeper soul-level issues, drawing from her own personal experiences, research, and two decades of holistic living.   From ringing in the ears to vertigo, waking at 3 AM to random body pains, Morgan explores how physical manifestations can sometimes be tied to spiritual growth, psychic development, or unresolved energetic blockages. With her trademark mix of real talk and magickal insight, she explains how to differentiate between symptoms that may need medical attention and those that could have a deeper energetic cause.  Throughout the episode, Morgan encourages listeners to honor both their physical bodies and their energetic fields, blending Western medicine with intuitive practices to find holistic healing.  For Patreon members, this week's bonus content includes five positive physical symptoms that signal spiritual alignment and progression—helping you recognize when you're leveling up on your magickal path.  If you enjoy Busy, Gritty, Inked, & Witchy, please like and subscribe.

In this episode, Morgan dives into a topic that's both fun and essential for any practicing witch: psychic vampires. These energy feeders—both conscious and unconscious—can show up as friends, coworkers, trolls on the internet, or even strangers in line at the grocery store.

She also shares powerful magickal tools for psychic self-defense, from shielding techniques to protective crystals, herbs, symbols, and rituals.

In this episode, Morgan takes listeners on a journey into the magickal and transformational concept of identity shifting for witches. She shares her personal experiences with recognizing, embracing, and navigating identity shifts, and how these shifts weave directly into witchcraft, manifestation, and personal empowerment. Morgan explores what identity shifting truly means, debunking common misconceptions and explaining why simply “faking it” doesn't work. Instead, she offers a relatable and magickal framework for understanding how your higher self sends “love notes” — opportunities for you to embody the version of yourself you are becoming. Through storytelling and personal breakthroughs, Morgan guides listeners through how to recognize these moments, consciously choose transformation, and ground into the energy of their next level self. For Patreon members, this week's bonus content takes things even deeper with Morgan's exploration of her personal beliefs around multiple versions of self, time travel, and how they play a role in magick and manifestation.

In this episode, Morgan shares a deeply personal and magickal concept she calls the “witchy home.” Not a physical space, but a spiritual and energetic feeling—a collection of practices, beliefs, deities, and sacred objects that make you feel witchy as f**k and completely at home in your path. She explores how this idea connects to last week's theme of grounding in your truth and expands it into a soul-level resonance with your unique witchy identity. This episode was inspired by a recent discussion on her second podcast, Two Witches Talking, with co-host Megan Winkler, where both witches reflected on the moment they first felt “at home” in their spiritual journey. Morgan offers reflections on what it means to truly feel “at home” in your magick, and how finding or building your witchy home can help you anchor more fully into your truth. She also walks through a few questions you can ask yourself to discover the elements that create that soul-level resonance and magickal sense of belonging.

In this powerful episode, Morgan explores the transformative force of dark divine feminine energy and the deep shifts it can create in our lives. She shares a recent personal experience that pushed her into fully embodying this energy, revealing how the dark divine feminine often forces change when we resist stepping into our power. Morgan breaks down the core differences between divine feminine, divine masculine, and dark divine feminine energy, explaining how the latter goes beyond softness and nurturing into fierce sovereignty, unapologetic self-ownership, and raw, authentic power. She discusses how society often misinterprets this energy as selfish or destructive, when in reality, it is about deep self-awareness, boundary-setting, and embracing one's true nature without guilt or shame. Throughout the episode, Morgan offers guidance on how to begin embodying dark divine feminine energy, from shadow work and releasing limiting beliefs to reclaiming personal power and navigating difficult self-discoveries. She also shares her own journey of breaking free from toxic productivity and learning to surrender to the flow of this potent force.

In this episode, Morgan challenges witches to stop trying to do magick and start fully embodying it. She dives into the psychology behind the words we use and how saying “I'm trying” or “I'm hoping” can actually keep us stuck in a cycle of inaction. Instead, she offers a powerful shift in perspective that can unlock new levels of manifestation, goal achievement, and magickal growth. Morgan shares how this concept landed for her after years of hearing it but not fully understanding it until six months ago. She explains how the nervous system resists change and how the subconscious mind uses words like trying and hoping to keep us in a safe but stagnant state. Drawing from both psychology and magickal practice, she reveals how flipping your language—affirming what you are doing instead of what you're trying to do—can create immediate energetic movement. Throughout the episode, Morgan provides real-life examples of how this shift has transformed her business, her magick, and even her health. She also challenges listeners to become more conscious of their words and to start reprogramming their mindset to claim their power instead of hesitating at the threshold of change. For Patreon members, this week's bonus content includes a mini challenge to help witches break free from the trying trap and step boldly into their magickal and personal goals.

It was 65 years ago this month that the Everly Brothers signed a 10-year, $1 million deal with Warner Brothers Records following an incredible three-year run at tiny Cadence Records. It was one the first big money contracts for a rock and roll act, and their first two years provided an incredible return on investment for Warner. But 1962 brought a drought that effectively ended their incredible chart run and, as the brothers desperately tried to regain their chart footing, they were confounded by the seemingly endless onslaught of British Invasion artists. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, music historian Scott G. Shea talks about this time in the Everly Brothers' long career and how their blend of perseverance and role as rock and roll influencers churned out a slew of incredible records.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this episode, Morgan unpacks the differences between grimoires, books of shadows, and other magickal texts, helping witches determine which type of record-keeping best suits their practice. She explains why documenting your magickal journey is essential and how keeping track of spells, correspondences, and personal experiences can strengthen your craft. Morgan dives into the purpose of different magickal texts, from the structured reference book that is a grimoire to the deeply personal and evolving book of shadows. She also introduces the concept of tomes, books of mirrors, and specialized journals for dreamwork, divination, and spellcrafting. Throughout the episode, she emphasizes that no two witches will use their magickal texts in the same way and encourages listeners to personalize their record-keeping methods, whether through handwritten journals, digital files, or hybrid approaches. She also shares a major announcement about the Inked Spirit Coven's upcoming year-long theme, The Witch's Grimoire, designed to help witches build and expand their own books of shadows and grimoires.

In this episode, Morgan explores the deep connection between mindset and magick, revealing how your thoughts, beliefs, and energy shape your spells and manifestations. She explains why shifting your mindset can unlock new levels of power in your practice and how embracing a magickal mindset can transform not only your craft but your entire life. Morgan breaks down the concept that we are always manifesting—whether consciously or unconsciously—and how becoming aware of this can help witches avoid self-sabotage in their spellwork. She dives into the difference between a mindset rooted in fear versus one rooted in love, sharing how doubt, shame, and second-guessing can weaken your magick, while trust, confidence, and empowerment can strengthen it. Throughout the episode, Morgan offers practical ways to shift into a more magickally aligned mindset, including affirmations, energy redirection, and trusting in divine timing. She also shares personal experiences that illustrate how powerful these shifts can be and how they've impacted her own journey as a witch.

In this episode, Morgan dives into the world of power gemstones and how to find the ones that resonate most deeply with your energy. With the Tucson Gem Show still fresh in her mind, she shares her insights on selecting the perfect gemstones for your personal magickal practice. Morgan explains that power gemstones are unique to each individual—what energizes and empowers one witch may not work the same for another. She breaks down three different ways to discover your personal power stones: letting the stone choose you through intuition, intentionally selecting based on your needs, and allowing the universe to guide you through synchronicities and signs. Throughout the episode, Morgan shares personal anecdotes from her own experiences, including her deep connection to Morganite and a striking encounter with a new stone at the gem show. She also debunks common myths about so-called “most powerful” gemstones and encourages listeners to trust their own energetic responses.

Zack in Defiance, Ohio faces a unique challenge that may sound specific at first but is more common than you think: he can only close a deal if his customer closes a deal of their own first. In other words, they must “sell” a project to their own clients before Zack's solution can come into play. This scenario appears in industries like construction, engineering, software licensing, and more. The conversation with Zack revealed practical strategies you can use to overcome these hurdles and keep your own pipeline healthy. Welcome to another Ask Jeb segment on the Sales Gravy Podcast! I'm Jeb Blount—bestselling author of Fanatical Prospecting, Objections, Sales EQ, and INKED. In each of these special episodes, we shine a spotlight on your questions, challenges, and roadblocks—offering real-world advice from sales pros who are in the trenches every single day. 1. Recognize the Real-World Obstacles Whether your customer has to bid on government contracts, secure large client projects, or get internal buy-in from multiple stakeholders, their success dictates your sale. While it's easy to be frustrated by this extra layer, it's crucial to acknowledge a few realities: Your Customer's Motivation: They're laser-focused on winning their own deal. Your product or service is secondary—important, but not top of mind until they're assured of a win. Lead Time: Deals can stretch out because you're waiting on an entire chain of approvals or external decisions. Competition: If your customers finally land the big deal, they might still shop around to find the best supplier, leaving you in a second round of competition. Understanding these pressures helps you empathize with your buyer. It also positions you to offer support in ways that make them want to stick with you—rather than jumping to a competitor at the eleventh hour. 2. Be a Genuine Partner, Not a Peddler It's tempting to keep nudging your buyers with hard-closing tactics, but that rarely works when they haven't secured their own contract. Instead, pivot to a mindset of partnership: Build Real Relationships Invest time getting to know your buyer on a personal level. Talk about local sports teams, industry news, or shared hobbies. Real rapport fosters loyalty. When your customer finally wins their deal, they'll feel comfortable turning to a friend—you—for the solution they need. Offer Strategic Expertise If your offering requires complex configurations or specialized knowledge, step in as a consultant. For instance, share best practices on how to optimize a design, or explain how to streamline a process. By helping them present stronger bids or more compelling proposals, you become integral to their success. Stay Responsive If they're scrambling to nail down specifics for a bid, be the easiest person on their call list. Quick turnaround times and thorough answers showcase that you're a reliable partner. Nobody wants a vendor who goes dark when the pressure is on. 3. Avoid Becoming a “Quote Factory” One of the biggest pitfalls in this scenario is turning into a “quote factory” that does piles of work for prospects who never buy. While it's true you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, you also waste valuable hours if you keep shooting at targets that never pan out. Track Buying History Look at your records: are there customers or accounts for which you consistently provide proposals and never see a sale? Identify these patterns. Have Candid Conversations Let them know your time and expertise aren't free. You're happy to help, but if they continually choose other suppliers or undercut your prices, you need to reevaluate the partnership. Sometimes, a direct discussion is enough to shift their approach and earn you real business. If not, you can focus on more promising leads. Prioritize Strategic Deals If you're caught up producing endless quotes for “long-shot” clients,

In this episode, Morgan unpacks the mysteries of the dark moon phase, offering six transformative ways to work with its unique energy. Often overlooked, the dark moon presents an opportunity for stillness, introspection, and powerful magickal practices. Morgan begins by demystifying the dark moon phase, explaining its subtle differences from the new moon, and why it's a potent but often misunderstood time. She shares six ways witches can honor the dark moon, including rest and witchy self-care, shadow work, and working with darker deities and entities. Morgan also delves into the magickal practices of protection, banishing, and even dark magick, explaining how the absence of lunar illumination amplifies these workings. Whether you're curious about walking between worlds, communing with the unseen, or simply want to incorporate a new practice into your craft, this episode provides actionable insights and inspiration. For Patreon members, bonus content includes a deeper dive into Morgan's personal dark moon rituals and how her practice has evolved over the last 25 years.

In this illuminating episode, Morgan dives into the powerful practice of like-for-like magick, also known as sympathetic or imitative magick.

In this inspiring episode, Morgan dives into the concept of energetic new years and how we can align our intentions with the natural rhythms of the earth, rather than the calendar reset of January 1st. She explores how 2025's numerology calls for completions and alignments, sparking a conversation about honoring the cycles of nature when setting goals for the year ahead.  Morgan shares why traditional New Year's resolutions often feel misaligned for many and introduces three other powerful energetic reset points: Lunar New Year, Imbolc, and Aries season.

After updating listeners on her current life situation (which includes a surprise visit from her daughter), Morgan takes a bit of a break from normal podcast content and gives everyone an Internal Sacred Space guided meditation, originally from the Inked Spirit Coven.  The Internal Sacred Space Guided Meditation is about 14 minutes long and will help listeners set up a grounded, safe space within themselves in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season (and upcoming Mars Retrograde).  If you enjoy Busy, Gritty, Inked, & witchy, please like and subscribe. It helps new magickally curious people find the podcast easier! Join Morgan on her Patreon for exclusive bonus content. Visit https://patreon.com/inkedgoddesscreations for more details.
