Magickal in a Mundane World Featuring Jessica Karels

Magickal in a Mundane World Featuring Jessica Karels

Witchcraft appeals to a growing number of people deconstructing Christianity as they realize the origins of what felt aligned within their faith tradition while reclaiming their sovereignty. Join me for an enlightening conversation with my guest Jessica Karels, the Mystic Geek, about her faith journey, a peek into the world of witchcraft, and being your magickal self in a mundane world.

Well in today's episode we're getting witchy.

Now, if you're double taking that we're talking about witchyness today, I just want to invite you to take a breath, to calm your tatas, and to expand your mind because if all you know about witchcraft is what Christianity has told you, you don't know a thing.

Truth talk time!

My guest Jessica Karels, the Mystic Geek, offers a peek into why so many who are deconstructing from fundamendalist religion are finding a home in witchcraft.

In this conversation we talk about

  • Jessica's journey from Jehovah's Witnesses to Witch
  • Origin story of Wicca
  • Difference between the Wiccan religion and witchcraft
  • Manifestation in and out of religion
  • What it means to operate as a magickal being in a mundane world
  • How to establish a spiritual based business.

We talk about several resources including

  • Drawing Down The Moon by Margot Adler
  • Psychic Witch by Mat Auryn
  • Outside the Charmed Circle by Misha Magdalene
  • The Little Work by Durgadas Allon Duriel
  • Anything by Christopher Penczak (that's my add; he's researched, balanced, and thorough).

Within the massive awakening underway, people are finding new spiritual homes that feel aligned with who they are and who they are becoming. The point is, you get to choose. You also get to examine your beliefs and assumptions around other spiritual and metaphysical traditions to make sure you're not falling into old scare tactic narratives meant to keep you tucked into the fold.
