We bring you a behemoth of an episode breaking down hip hop in the year 2023 (so far)

Yes people, we're back talking about which 90s rap songs we'd play to an alien to define hip hop.

We had a blast, y'all! Kanani is one of the three gals from That Witch Life podcast and a Witchy friend of mine, so it will shock no one that we might be related. Snuggle in as my PNW cousin and I chat about what we inherently carry in our Witch bodies, including Magick memory and how to reconnect to our sacred source.We also talked about faith, ancestors, connections to the land and trees--like witches do. Settle onto the proverbial porch—it's a good one. Love y'all!Episode NotesA Pacific Northwest girl at heart, Kanani Soleil (she/her) was born with a desire to learn the secrets of the universe and a fascination with different theologies. She actively sought out different paths in an effort to find her way. At twenty, she embraced Witchcraft. She became a proud mother to the two souls whose spirits were with her for years, a daughter and a son who look and act just as they did in her visions. Her favorite incense is Nag Champa because it reminds her of outdoor markets. Her practice involves candle Magick and reading Tarot. She is currently the board President of Other World's of Wonder, a Portland, OR non-profit Pagan organization with a goal of building community. Her favorite phrase is “If you can't stir with the big girls, stay away from the cauldron.” #soccermommorticiaThat Witch Life podcast: https://thatwitchlife.com//Kanani on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soccermommorticia/Want to have access to extra yummy witch stuff?
