Get ready for a spellbinding mix of history, magic, and just the right amount of witchy mischief! In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle unravel the tangled web of Valentine's Day. Is it related to ancient Roman fertility festivals? What made it the Hallmark holiday it is today? But what's love without a little magick? After digging into history, our witches shift gears into the art of sex magick; one of the most potent, transformative, and (let's be real) misunderstood forms of witchcraft. They break down the basics, from using pleasure as an energy-raising tool to casting spells with intention and desire. Whether you're flying solo or weaving magic with a partner, Laylla and Chelle share tips on how to bring enchantment into your intimate rituals; safely, ethically, and with a whole lot of witchy confidence.So light a candle, grab some chocolate (or something stronger), and tune in for an episode filled with history, humor, and the kind of magic that makes the heart (and other things) race.Sex, Sorcery, and Spirit by Jason MillerSexual Occultism by John MumfordSacred Sex by Gabriela HerstikThe Ethical Slut, Third Edition: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love By Janet W.

Greetings! Back from a podcast break with an episode of 3 Questions with Astrologer Pix Wilder from Pixrtea Astrology. This recording is from May 2023 from the Northwest Astrological conference. We found a quiet room to talk, which if you have listened to my other interviews from the conference you'll notice the public noise in the background. It was nice departure. I've been watching Pixrtea's work on social media and their Youtube channel. She has built up an amazing community and I respect her astrological takes. We talk about several books in the episode. One being "Come as you Are" by Emily Nagoski. We mixed up the author with Esther Perel which is something Gemini's do because we are reading multiple books at the same time! LOL.

I am just one voice in this relationship diversity movement.  And it's important to bring more unique perspectives into the conversation.  Today will be talking with my good friend, Laura Zam, a Sexuality Educator about sexuality and the taboo. There is so much wounding around our sexuality which contributes to us repressing this primal, innate part of ourselves. We go deep into taboo topics and she gives us 3 misconceptions about sex that compound our shame. Stay curious for this one…. **Trigger warning-Listener discretion advised  A little about Laura:An award-winning writer and TEDx speaker, she's the author of the bestselling book The Pleasure Plan: One Woman's Search for Sexual Healing.

In this episode: Miriam Diana references the nonmonogamy bible: "The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love."

At minute 28:00, Miriam Diana leads a relaxation exercise to connect your heart to your sexy parts, as well as a visualization meditation to help you feel into what type of relationship structure works best for you. Do you feel best when you're in a monogamous relationship container? Or do you feel most happy and peaceful with multiple partners and/or lovers?

Episode 18:Cultivating the Culture of Consent to Enhance Your Sexual Wellness-Bobbi Pompey

Consent is all about knowing when to say yes and when to say no. It's a practice that can be applied universally, not just in sexual contexts. However, there are many reasons why consent can be difficult, but one of the most common is that it's not something we are taught at home or school, especially when it comes to intimacy and sexuality. In order to foster a culture of consent, we need to be able to talk openly about these issues. Learning and teaching our children about consent can help us to know what it means and how to apply it in different situations in our life.  Join the conversation with Bobbi Pompey as she shares the concepts around consent and how you can cultivate it as a culture in your everyday life. Bobbi is an independent living skills specialist and an adjunct professor at San Francisco State, where she teaches independent living skills for the blind.   During this episode, you will learn about; [00:53] What's in for you in today's episode [02:01] Having conversations around sex and handling sex assault [06:06] Bobbi's career background  [08:25] The meaning of cis and transgender [10:27] The role of consent in everyday life [13:14] The true definition of consent and how it plays in different situations [15:04] How assumptions around consents can get us into troubles  [21:35] Legal consents and how your right to consent can be violated [24:10] How Bobbi got into the space and her experience in the field  [27:06] Bobbi experience with tools of consent and how she used them [30:17] How Bobbi was sexual assaulted and what prevented her from reaching out [34:00] When Bobbi got help and was finally able to speak it loud [37:39] Tools that you can use when you feel like your consent has been violated [40:27] Resources where you can learn more about consent and sexual assault [44:00] How to reach out and connect with Bobbi Notable Quotes  Consent is bigger than sex, intimacy and relationships Consent is respecting somebody for their permission or denial If you are uncomfortable with your consent, it's probably being violated Always trust your gut Whatever you have to do to get out of a situation is what you've to do.   Resources Mentioned The Consent Academy  The Ethical Slut: Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love Navigating consent classes with Dossie Easton Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network (RAINN)   Let's Connect!

Wow. Based on the huge response, something really resonated with with my first Under Covers episode. I wanted to have a series of conversations featuring women of all ages, backgrounds and sexual orientations answering the same questions about their sex lives because I believed their answers would normalize what so many of us may be feeling and maybe also unite us as well. Even though we may be different, we share so much shame, misinformation, judgment and trauma when it comes to sex. My goal is for us to find healing and community by sharing our stories with each other. So, I’m going to keep this brief. In this second Under Covers conversation, I speak with a woman I’ve named Patti. That’s not her real name. All you need to know in advance is that Patti is 56, married and identifies as bisexual. That’s where all similarities end…or begin. The two books mentioned about opening up a marriage and establishing new rules for ethical non-monogamy are: Opening Up: A Guide To Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships and The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships, and Other Freedoms in Sex and Love In addition, there are two specific products mentioned in this episode. One of them is a cannabis lube created by a company called Foria. If you are in a legal cannabis state and interested in purchasing the product, you can find out more at https://foriapleasure.com/products/foria-pleasure Foria does not sponsor this show and I receive no compensation from them despite the fact that I clearly love and recommend their product. But you can find out more about Foria THC lube on their website. Hopefully it will bring you pleasure. The other product mentioned is a sex wedge. I personally love the company Liberator, which manufactures all of their products in Atlanta. They also don’t sponsor my show (YET) but below is an Amazon affiliate link for a Liberator product that I personally own, use and love. If you purchase an item from an Amazon link, I’m eligible for something like 9 cents. So please buy 85,000 Liberator Wedge Ramp Combos, cause this podcast is expensive to produce. Thank you.
