In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined by Amy Blackthorn: award-winning author, professional intuitive, Witch, aromatherapist, and longtime teacher whose work brings together magical plants, horticulture, divination, and traditional Witchcraft. Amy is the author of numerous books, including Blackthorn’s Botanical Magic, Sacred Smoke, Blackthorn’s Protection Magic, and her newest book, Blackthorn’s Botanical Shadow Work. It was lovely to have Amy to talk about spirit connection and intuition on a number of levels...

We begin by talking about Amy’s early experiences with intuition and divination, before moving into her lifelong relationship with plants and the ideas behind Blackthorn’s Botanical Shadow Work.

We also talk about spirit communication within a larger web of relationships, the physical and ecological realities of the plants we work with, and why magical relationships don’t need to be disconnected from the ordinary world around us.

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined once again by Irene Glasse — Heathen Witch, teacher, author, and spiritworker.

Irene is the co-author, with Caine Dreamwalker, of the newly released Foundations of Witchcraft: A Blackfeather Mystery School Training Manual, from Crossed Crow Books, as well as Blackfeather Mystery School: The Magpie Training. She is also a contributing writer to Llewellyn’s Witch’s Sun Sign series and Sabbats Almanacs, a Commissioned Lay Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick, and the lead organizer of Frederick CUUPS.

We begin our chat discussing the divinatory experience that inspired Blackfeather Mystery School, and the question at the heart of Foundations of Witchcraft: what skills and practices actually help someone become a capable, grounded Witch?

Irene and I talk about spirit communication and discernment, knowing your own internal voice, and using divination to help confirm and clarify messages you've received. We also explore Elemental Life Sculpting, magical agency, guising and altered energetic states, trance states, and the importance of maintaining foundational practices even as our magical work becomes more advanced. 
It's always lovely to speak with Irene, and this conversation went in some wonderful directions. I hope you enjoy, and let me know your thoughts, as always!

The Diviner’s Pathway — Registration Now Open

Registration is now open for the founding cohort of The Diviner’s Pathway, my new six-week live course in nature-led divination.

This intensive course will meet weekly beginning November 10, 2026, working across tarot, runes, pendulums, dreams, and the basics of omen recognition, while developing the deeper skills that connect those practices: asking better questions, cultivating spiritual relationships, and learning to listen more clearly.

This first cohort will be a small, close-knit group — only eight students total — so if you’ve been interested in studying divination with me in a more hands-on way, take a look at the full course information and registration here:

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined by Deborah Lipp — author, Witch, High Priestess, tarot reader, and teacher who has been practicing and teaching Wicca, magic, and occult subjects for more than forty years.

Deborah is the author of numerous books on Witchcraft, ritual, magical practice, tarot, and polarity, including The Elements of Ritual, Tarot Interactions, Bending the Binary, and her newest book, Roadmap by Moonlight: A Guide to Wicca for Life.

We begin by talking about what it means to build a magical and spiritual practice that can actually last for decades — not simply a collection of techniques, correspondences, or rituals. We also talk about experimentation, adapting to new situations and needs, and how we create vibrant new things, without losing the structure that makes it all work.

And of course, we spend quite a bit of time on divination: Learning to see a spread as a complete image; psychic perception and the ways it can become suppressed; intuition versus projection; prediction; and the importance of becoming willing to take risks.

We also talk about magical polarity beyond simplistic male/female binaries, the ideas behind Deborah’s book Bending the Binary, and what happens when inherited magical structures are examined more deeply instead of simply discarded or repeated. 

It was a lovely conversation to have, and I appreciate all the care that Deborah puts into all of her books and teachings.

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I'm joined by Leandra Witchwood — modern witch, wortcunner, herbalist, author, teacher, and founder of The Magick Kitchen podcast.

Leandra's work brings together witchcraft, herbalism, plant-spirit relationships, shadow work, divination, and decades of magical practice. She is a Master Herbalist and Reiki Master, and through The Witchwood Teahouse, she creates intentional hand-blended teas rooted in her work with plants and herbalism.

We begin with Leandra's earliest experiences with divination, as well as her path into herbalism and the practice of wortcunning. We also dive into dendromancy -- divination and communication with trees -- as well as ways of listening to the spirits of land and place.

If you're listening as this episode comes out, Leandra has several classes and offerings happening very soon — and Leandra and I will both be teaching at TempleFest in Massachusetts, September 4–7. If you're finding this episode later on, visit her website to see what she's currently teaching and offering.

A quick note on herbalism: This episode includes general discussion of herbs and herbal practices for educational and spiritual purposes only. Neither myself or Leandra are providing medical advice, and please always consult a qualified healthcare professional before using or ingesting any herbs or plants, especially if you are pregnant or nursing, have a medical condition, or take prescription medications, as herbs can have contraindications and interactions.

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I'm joined once again by Dr. Gwendolyn Reece — Pagan priestess, Theosophist, librarian, and author of "The Waters of Mnemosyne: Ancient Greek Religion for Modern Pagans" 

This time, we go deeper into Neoplatonism: what it actually is, how the gods fit into a monistic cosmos, and what any of that has to do with recognizing an omen (for divination) when you see one. 

We talk about the difference between superstition and actionable intelligence, why academia keeps the occult at arm's length, and what it would look like to bring real philosophical life — symposia, hard questions, communal thinking — back into modern Pagan practice. 

I completely agree with Gwendolyn about the importance of philosophy, in-person discussion, and philosophy as a LIVED experience in the modern day. Every one of us has something important to contribute to this conversation... If you're passionate about this as well, reach out to me via email on my website, www.coffeeanddivination.com 

It's always a true pleasure to have Gwendolyn back on the show, and I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by John Michael Greer, this time to discuss his newest Aeon Books volume, The Magical Writings of W. B. Yeats.

Together, we discuss Yeats as a poet, magician, and highly-trained occult philosopher, with a special focus on the original 1925 edition of his great work, A Vision. We talk about George Yeats and the automatic writing that helped shape the system, as well as the works of Tolkien and Jung, the nature of Imaginal Realms, creative masks, and much more.

In this episode, I’m joined by Isaac Hill — occultist, astrologer, musician, gardener, and co-host of the always-fascinating Plant Cunning Podcast. Isaac lives on an herb farm in Central New York State with his wife, AC, and together they have interviewed some of the most important herbalists, occultists, astrologers, and permaculturists working today. He is also the author of The Heathen Golden Dawn and his new book, The Zodiac Garden Guide, which we discuss in this episode.

In our conversation, we talk about what it means to create a zodiac garden - not simply as a list of plant correspondences, but as an intersection of astrology, plants, place, magic, and the intelligence of the garden itself. (A garden as an astrological talisman, in a sense.) Isaac shares how he came to astrology through tarot, music, astrological magic, and permaculture, and we explore tropical and sidereal astrology, plant correspondences, and the balance between magical perception and practical gardening knowledge.

This year's Plant Cunning Conference will be happening July 24–26, 2026, on AC and Isaac’s land in Central New York State. Sadly I won’t be there this year because I’ll be traveling, but I was grateful to present and attend in previous years, and I highly recommend checking it out if you can make it — or visiting the Plant Cunning website and podcast either way, to learn more.

In this episode, I welcome Kimberly Steele, author of Sacred Homemaking: A Magical Approach to a Tidier Home.

Kimberly’s work invites us to approach the home as a living, ensouled place — one shaped by gratitude, attention, care, and relationship. We talk about her path from tarot into Druidry, why she wrote Sacred Homemaking as a practical entry point for people returning to spiritual life, and how small acts like cleaning one corner, thanking the bed, sweeping the floor, or even tending the toilet can become powerful magical practices.

We also discuss clutter, protection, discernment, household spirits, haunted objects, consumerism, perfectionism, ancestors, music as prayer and spellcraft, and so much more.

Enjoy the episode, and check out Kimberly's books and works online!

In this episode, I welcome my friend and returning guest Ivy Bromius of Circle Thrice back to the show. Ivy and I have known each other for a number of years, and her work brings together a wonderfully unusual - and extremely useful -combination of professional project management, practical enchantment, and magical timing through tarot and other divinatory arts.

We begin with risk: how can divination help us look toward the future without becoming trapped by fear? Ivy explains why thoughtfully considering what could go wrong is not the same as magically causing it to happen—and why facing a possible risk can actually make us feel more empowered, and capable of changing our course.

We discuss the emotional reality of fear, and explore courage and sovereignty: the ability to act according to our values, and work toward something better for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

In this episode, I welcome my friend Beck Ravenswood to the show - witch, tarot reader, and owner of The Serpent’s Key Shoppe in Hanover, PA.

Beck shares the story of discovering tarot as a teenager, receiving the dream that helped inspire The Serpent’s Key, and creating a thriving, interfaith community space devoted to magic, education, and connection.

We also discuss the legal fight that has placed Beck and their shop at the center of a much larger conversation about divination, religious practice, freedom of speech, and Pennsylvania’s archaic fortune-telling law. Before Beck’s shop had even officially opened, Hanover police warned them that offering paid tarot readings could violate a statute dating back to the nineteenth century. Beck is now challenging that law through an ongoing lawsuit, while Pennsylvania House Bill 1562 seeks to repeal it.

Along the way, we talk about the difference between fraud and legitimate divinatory practice, ethical tarot reading, building real-world Pagan community, interfaith dialogue, and the courage required to live openly and authentically. (And of course, we aren't lawyers, and are not qualified to offer any legal advice.)

---

A Note on Civic Engagement
We believe there is tremendous value in learning who represents us locally and taking part in respectful civic dialogue around issues that matter to us and our neighbors. That does not require everyone has to agree about politics, religion, or spiritual practices. It means communicating respectfully, and remembering that we all share communities with people whose backgrounds and beliefs may differ from our own.

If these issue matter to you, please consider contacting your representatives. Pennsylvania residents can ask their state legislators to support HB 1562 and the repeal of Section 7104. Listeners outside Pennsylvania can still contact their own representatives, share information about the issue, and encourage dialogue with their Pennsylvania colleagues. It can really make a difference!

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I welcome author, witch, educator, and biological scientist Sian Sibley for a fascinating conversation on plant spirits, pagan ecology, animism, geomancy, and ethical magical practice. We explore what it means to truly treat plants, stones, incense, trees, and the land itself as living beings in relationship with us — and why that changes how we practice magic.

This conversation also dives into “doubt devils,” discernment in divination, ecological responsibility, and the powerful idea that plants can, of course, say no to us, at times.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Alexander Cummins — historian of magic, diviner, and teacher of early modern cunning craft—for a deep and grounded conversation on working with spirits as allies in magical and divinatory practice.

Together, we explore what it really means to work with ancestral practitioners—the spirits of the magical dead—and how these relationships were understood historically, as well as how they can be approached with clarity and integrity today.

In This Episode, We Discuss:
- What “ancestral practitioners” are, and how they differ from general ancestor work
- Historical examples of working with the magical dead
- Reciprocity, obligation, and relationship in spirit work
- What it actually means to test spirits in practice
- Geomancy and the role of appropriate questions in spirit contact

Thank you for listening — and as always, see you between the worlds.

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Laura Tempest Zakroff — artist, author, performer, and modern Traditional Witch, whose work sits at the crossroads of art, embodiment, divination, and magic. 

We discuss Laura’s newest book, Tarot by Tempest: Playing with Numbers, Meaning & Movement, and why play is a vital part of divination: it's often the doorway back into creativity, intuition, and real insight. (A topic I'm very passionate about as well!)

In this episode, we discuss

•  How movement and embodiment shift the way we read symbols (and how to “get out of your head” at times.) 
•  Reading tarot through numbers, patterns, and energetic motion.
•  Using art as a spiritual technology: creativity, meaning-making, and getting unstuck.
• Laura's next oracle deck projects, based in the Northeast of the US.

---

 Preorders for my book The Diviner’s Path: A Nature-Led Approach to Divination with Tarot, Runes & Pendulums are now available — thank you so much to everyone who has already preordered and sent kind messages. It truly means a lot, and preorders make a real difference for authors.

In this episode, I’m joined by Solomon Pakal - founder of the Mayan Mystery School, historian, and longtime occult practitioner - for a conversation on astrology, tarot, and the depth of Maya traditions of magic and divination.

We speak about his perspective on tarot, the importance of understanding divination within a larger cultural and cosmological framework, and the vastness of Maya magical and divinatory traditions. This is a conversation about worldviews as much as methods —about what becomes possible when we approach older traditions with seriousness, humility, and curiosity.

A note for our listeners: If you’d like a bit of (free) support for your own practice, there is now a free Weekly Divination Planner available to download at coffeeanddivination.com. And new content will soon be arriving on Greek alphabet divination, question-tech for divination, and much more.

Solomon is a fantastic speaker and guest, and I encourage you to find him on Instagram and Substack to see more of his works.

Enjoy the episode, and if you find it interesting, share it with friends who might want to learn more.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Ivo Dominguez Jr. prolific author and long-time leader in the modern occult community. We’re discussing the newly updated, re-released edition of his book Spirit Speak: A Comprehensive Guide to Connect Beyond the Veil, and what it offers practitioners seeking clear, safe, grounded methods of spirit contact for divination and magical work. 

Ivo is not only one of my favorite guests to speak with and learn from - he was also one of the keynote speakers for the first annual Wylde Grove Gathering Online Leadership Summit, alongside 14 other incredible presenters, this past week in January, 2026. Clips from some of the Summit roundtables - including the conversation on technology and learning in the occult world that Ivo joined - will be on the Coffee & Divination YouTube channel soon. 

In our conversation, we explored:

• What the updated edition of Spirit Speak brings to modern practitioners 
• Techniques and “warm-ups” for divinatory work, and why those matter. 
• Levels of consciousness and how they affect what (and who) we perceive
• Practical distinctions between different forms of spirit contact used for divination, and how to approach them responsibly

My guest in this episode is Mhara Starling, a Welsh folk Witch raised on the Isle of Anglesey. Mhara is a fantastic speaker, teacher, and author, and I met her for the first time at the Sacred Space conference this past year. It was wonderful to have her on the show!

In this conversation, we focused on Welsh Fairy lore and practices, and how that living tradition of relationship meets the arts of divination: omen-reading, scrying, working with the land, and ethics and good boundaries for working with Fairies in the modern world.

Author, teacher, and Druid priest Kristoffer Hughes joins JoAnna to explore the living current of Awen: how song, poetry, and art become vessels for spiritual knowing—and how the currents of awen can inform divination in real, grounded practice.

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined by Dr. Gwendolyn Reece: Pagan priestess, theosophist, witch, and author of "The Waters of Mnemosyne." We discuss her wonderful new book, her work leading sacred pilgrimages to Greece, and her role in fostering deep spiritual community through ritual, scholarship, and devotion.

Our discussion touched on sacred memory in Orphic traditions, household religion and community, philosophy and living a good, human life, and the ways modern polytheists and mystics are reclaiming wisdom traditions. These are all topics that both Gwendolyn and I are very passionate about, and I really enjoyed hearing her thoughts and expertise regarding all of it. I hope you do as well!

In this episode, I'm joined once again by author and esoteric scholar Peter Mark Adams, whose newest work - Ritual and Epiphany in the Mysteries of Mithras: The Secret Cult of Saturn in Imperial Rome - offers a profound look into one of the most enigmatic mystery traditions of the ancient world.

We explore the sacred cosmology of Mithras, the structure and symbolism of the cult’s initiatory grades, and how these rites relate to the broader lineage of Orphic and Platonic spirituality. Along the way, we discuss ritual space, visionary experiences, and how these ancient practices can inform and aid seekers and practitioners today.

Please note: Later in the episode, we also touch on topics such as entheogens, intense ritual work, and transformational spiritual practices. Neither Peter nor I are medical professionals, nor do we endorse any illegal activities, and all listeners should thoroughly research and approach these topics with caution, and seek the advice of licensed experts.

In this episode, it was wonderful to speak with my friend and fellow Priestess, Elyse Welles. Elyse is a Witch, sacred travel leader, and the author behind Seeking Numina. Elyse is also the co-host of the Magick Kitchen Podcast, a top spirituality podcast where she shares wisdom on Witchcraft, ritual, and more.

In today's episode, we talked about the act of pilgrimage to ancient sites in Greece, divination, and devotional relationships with Land spirits and Gods. Elyse travels widely, and her experiences helping others seek connection to Spirit made for an excellent conversation. 

After this episode was recorded back in April, Elyse and I also spent 10 days in Greece together, researching and visiting oracular sites dedicated to Apollo and Zeus. If you'd like to hear our discussion of that trip on Elyse's Seeking Numina show (recorded at Dodona, under the sacred Oak of Zeus) you can click the link in the show notes!

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined by the brilliant and prolific Christopher Penczak—author, teacher, Witch, and co-founder of the Temple of Witchcraft tradition. Christopher has written many excellent books on modern Witchcraft, magickal practice, spirit work, and personal transformation. His work has been foundational for many practitioners over the years, and it was wonderful to sit down with him for this conversation.

In our discussion, we explored a wide range of topics, including his background with tarot, his insights into developing skills as a reader and practitioner, and of course his experience as a respected teacher and leader within the wider Pagan world.

In this latest episode, it was wonderful to welcome back John Michael Greer, a prolific author, teacher, and practitioner of the esoteric arts. We dive into the fascinating world of tarot and explore his work with his late teacher, John Gilbert, whose insights and teachings JMG edited and published in The Doors of Tarot. He shares reflections on Gilbert’s unique approach to tarot, and we discuss our views of patterns and spreads in readings, how divination can be best approached when just starting out, and what made Gilbert's teachings so unique and impactful. I really enjoyed the conversation, and reading The Doors of Tarot, which I absolutely recommend.

Later in the episode, we also shift gears to discuss the fundamentals of mundane astrology—using the stars to explore the patterns of global events. A particularly interesting topic as we start the new year!

In this episode, I sit down with the Professor David Zeitlyn of Oxford University, a leading expert in the anthropology of divination and co-curator of the Bodleian Library's stunning new exhibition, Oracles, Omens, and Answers. Professor Zeitlyn has spent decades studying divination practices across cultures, including his research on, and practice of, Mambila spider divination in Cameroon and Nigeria.

We discuss the highlights of the Bodleian Library's exhibition (which is open until April 27, 2025,) and explore the cultural framework of divinatory practices like spider divination, and the intersections of ancient methods and modern tools. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I had the pleasure of sitting down with author, tarot reader, and witch Madame Pamita to explore the magic of tarot and how it can transform our lives. We discuss her wonderful book, Magical Tarot, which guides readers to use tarot as a tool for personal empowerment and magical growth. (I've already recommended the book to a number of friends and family interested in Tarot.) She shares her insights on developing divination skills, both personally and professionally, and provides thoughtful advice on how to use tarot and magic to create a more joyful, abundant life.

This was a wonderful conversation, and although the release has been delayed due to technical issues, I'm very glad to be able to share it now! I hope you enjoy listening.

Also, a quick announcement: My co-High Priestess of the North Wyldewood Coven, Denise Cruci, and I will be presenting at the Sacred Space Conference in March 2025. In the notes below, you can find full details and sign up to attend via their website.

Our guest for this episode is author and herbalist Coby Michael. Coby is the author of "The Poison Path: Baneful Herbs, Medicinal Nightshades, and Ritual Entheogens." During the episode we discuss the possibilities of magic and healing with plant allies in the Nightshade family, the links between fears of poison and the power of magical practices, and I greatly appreciated our conversation about these important, challenging topics.

Please note that in this episode, we discuss many dangerous, potentially toxic, even deadly plants. No one should interact with these plants or substances made from them without consulting a doctor or licensed physician, and nothing contained in this show constitutes medical advice or should be taken in the place of that advice.

My guest on today's episode is the author, astrologer, wiccan Elder, and ritualist, Ivo Dominguez Jr.  It was a pleasure to have him back on the show, as I've been an admirer of his work for years now, and thoroughly enjoy our conversations. In this episode we discuss psychic training, navigating our strengths and weaknesses in praxis and community, and, in the later parts of the interview, his perspectives on sun signs in astrology and magic.  I deeply appreciate his work and insights, so I hope you enjoy this episode!

A fantastic conversation with two wonderful scholars - Christophe Poncet and Peter Mark Adams. We discuss their recent release for Scarlet Imprint: 'Two Esoteric Tarots.' The book (and our conversation) dives into the history of the Sola Busca tarot and the tarot de Marseille. We discuss their history, imagery, connections to one another, and their place in the occult worlds of Renaissance magic and philosophy.

I thoroughly enjoyed both their book, and our conversation together for this show!

Today's episode is an excellent chat with A.C. Stauble and Isaac Hill, two individuals who are both fellow magicians, permaculturalists, and podcast hosts. I've been a long-time fan of their show, the Plant Cunning Podcast, which highlights connections between herbalism, magic, permaculture, and the healing arts. Isaac is a permaculturalist with over a decade of experience gardening and cultivating a native plant nursery, as well as a Heathen practitioner and author. A.C. is a farmer, herbalist, community builder, and teacher. In today's interview, we discuss developing relationships with the Land and plant spirits, creating the Plant Cunning Conference they hosted this summer, and thoughts on the nature of healthy community connections in our lives. 
Enjoy!

As we near the end of the year, it's a great time to talk about timing and astrology, and I'm happy to welcome astrologer and musician ZamboniFunk to the podcast to do just that. I've followed Zamboni's work for a few years now, and on the show today, we discuss the 'negatives and positives' of transits and challenging aspects in charts, eclipses, rhythm's relationship to magic, and much more. It's always a pleasure to talk with him, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! (If you're curious about the musical synchronization elements we discuss later in the show, I've included links to a few videos about that below.)

It's always a great pleasure to talk fortune-telling and omen logic with author and magician Gordon White. This conversation centered around his newly released Lenormand deck, "Fortune's Fools," which was co-created with the artist Colin Alexander. The "little white book" he wrote and included with the deck, discussing techniques of effective cartomancy (and which can be applied to much more than just Lenormand contexts,) was excellent to discuss with him in this episode.  I hope you enjoy it!

Author and scholar John Michael Greer returns to the podcast to discuss several of his excellent books, along with his recently re-released oracle deck, The Sacred Geometry Oracle.  This was a fascinating chat about sacred geometry, technology and nature, architecture, music, and art.

This week, our episode is a conversation with the wonderful heathen author and seer Patricia Lafayllve. Within the excellent heathen organization, The Troth, she is an Elder, as well as High Steward. She has performed rituals throughout the US, and is a natural Seer and trained seidr-worker, and in our conversation together, we discussed the essential skills needed to practice trance-based divination, the importance of respect and grounded research in our personal worship, and her two excellent books: A Practical Heathen's Guide to Asatru and Freyja, Lady, Vanadis: An Introduction to the Goddess.

Enjoy!

The very first "solo show" of Coffee and Divination! I wanted to speak a little about a topic that's come up with a number with my guests recently: how we relate to our divinatory tools, and also how we might deepen our connections to them. As a Witch who practices a nature-based, pantheist, and animist Tradition, the act of relating to forms of divination, and the Spirits who speak through them, is something I think a great deal about both as a teacher and a practitioner. In today's episode, I share five things that I feel are key to developing healthy relationships in divination. There is obviously a great deal to say on the topic, so this is only a beginning...

I am also excited to officially announce the podcast's new Patreon page! To show my thanks to our listeners, I'll be hosting a special Patreon-only Zoom "Coffee and Divination" chat hangout each month, (beginning with a Launch Party on April 1st,) where we can chat, discuss magic planning, and where myself and my rotating guest co-hosts will throw cards or otherwise answer listener questions during the hour...  For our Patreon members, I'll also be releasing additional content including monthly templates and spreadsheets for divination, advance notice of guests, extra episodes, and more. Check out the Patreon page to learn more and to sign up!

Enjoy this week's episode, and I hope I'll see you all at our Zoom Patreon Launch Party on Saturday, April 1st, 2023.

The latest episode is another lovely discussion with author, poet, and scholar Peter Mark Adams.  His latest work, "Hagia Sophia / Sanctum of Kronos: Spiritual Dissent in an Age of Tyranny," is a fascinating exploration of the pagan Mystery cults and their diverse survivals in later philosophical traditions, as well as a discussion of the ways in which the construction of the Hagia Sophia cathedral in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) encapsulates the metaphysics of spiritual union taught within the Eleusinian tradition – all in the face of intense persecution and oppression. Diving into the nature of sacred art, symbolism, and religious 'survivals,' I really enjoyed the conversation and I hope you do as well!

Our second episode of 2023, and it was a wonderful conversation with PGM and practical occult practitioner Alison Chicosky. Alison is the author of The Secrets of Helios: Unlocking the Practical Uses of PGM IV.1596-1715 which was recently released by Hadean Press. She is a PGM practitioner, magician, and founder of the www.PracticalOccult.com website. We had a lovely chat about the nature of Egyptian magic, obtaining knowledge from Spirits (while developing relationships with Them,) and deepening our connections to ritual in everyday life.  I look forward to having her on the show again, and I hope you enjoy this conversation!

A lovely conversation with author, diviner, Witch, and magical project manager Ivy Bromius, all about using magic to enchant for our desires, and create our best life. We delved into how divination interweaves with magical workings, and the importance of "doing more magic" on a regular basis. This is a conversation I was looking forward to for a while, and it was a joy to talk with Ivy about these important topics.

A fantastic conversation with author, teacher, and diviner Brian Wilkins, centering on his new book and oracle deck, "The Oracle of Decans."  We delved into a discussion of the 36 Decan spirits, as well as the nature and interplay of magic, divination, and healing. This is a book and deck I've been looking forward to for a while, and the conversation around it is one I hope you enjoy.  Important work in this world, and these times. Brian also treated our live audience to a few quick readings on their questions, and if you'd like the chance to be a part of our "studio audience" the next time we do a live taping of the show, be sure to join the newsletter on the Coffee and Divination website!

It was wonderful to have author and poet Peter Mark Adams back on the show to talk about his recent release: “The Power of the Healing Field: Energy Medicine, Psi Abilities, and Ancestral Healing”  In our chat we discuss healing modalities, the connections between healing, divination, trance, and shamanic traditions, and talk through a little of how we can incorporate energy work in our lives.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation, as well as Peter’s latest book, and I hope you do as well!

A fascinating conversation with an author I've admired for many years, John Opsopaus. His work on the alphabet divinatory oracles of the ancient Greek world, "The Oracles of Apollo: Practical Ancient Greek Divination for Today" is a title I highly recommend, and he joins me to speak about it, as well as his thoughts on the art and practice of divination, and the worship of the Greek Gods.  His newest work, "The Secret Texts of Hellenic Polytheism: A Practical Guide to the Restored Pagan Religion of George Gemistos Plethon" is also a fascinating read, and one we'll hopefully dive more into in a future discussion.

This was a wonderful conversation about a book I thoroughly enjoyed reading, delving into animism, ways of thinking, healing and right relations, magic, "nature" and much more.

An excellent conversation with diviner, healer, and author Dylan Warren-Davis. Dylan is the author of the classic guide to cheiromancy (hand reading) - "The Hand Reveals: A Complete Guide to Cheiromancy - the Western Tradition of Handreading." 
He has been practicing cheiromancy for over 40 years, and his writings on the subject are a wonderful and in-depth introduction to this very ancient art.  I really enjoyed reading "The Hand Reveals" and was very glad to sit down and discuss it with Dylan this week.  For those interested in the practice of hand reading, he will be leading a course on the work beginning very soon - Feb. 21, and I highly recommend checking it out!

A look ahead at the first half of 2022! As we close out the strangeness of 2021, it was wonderful to hear astrologer Brittany Goss' analysis of what's to come in 2022. As usual, I found the discussion with Brittany to be inspiring and heartening, while still being a no-nonsense discussion of some of the issues presenting themselves in the astro-weather to come.  I thoroughly enjoy these chats with Brittany, and hope you find this one as helpful as I did.

A great conversation with diviner and author Lilith Dorsey. Lilith is the author of numerous books, including "Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens: The Divine Feminine in the African Religious Traditions" , "Voodoo and African Traditional Religion" , and "Water Magic: Elements of Witchcraft."  They have been a professional psychic and teacher for over three decades and are a frequent presenter at festivals and gatherings, including HexFest, WitchCon, Sirius Rising, Witch’sFest USA, and many others. 
I had been looking forward to this conversation for a while, and am so glad that Lilith could join me for a wide-ranging discussion of Santería, art, witchcraft, and ways and means of divination. Enjoy!

On this episode of Coffee & Divination, we welcome back author and magician John Michael Greer. He's written numerous works on a variety of topics, including ecology, politics, appropriate technology, oil depletion, Druidry, divination, and magic. (He has written over 50 titles so far.) In this discussion, we delve into some of the magical underpinnings of politics today, as well as in the more distant past. His recent thought-provoking book, "The King in Orange: The Magical and Occult Roots of Political Power," was our jumping off point, and I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.

On this episode of Coffee & Divination, we welcome back author Peter Mark Adams. Peter is the author of “The Game of Saturn: Decoding the Sola-Busca Tarocchi” and "Dancing out the Mysteries of Dionysus."  This was a fantastic discussion of the Dionysian themed frescos of Pompeii’s Villa of the Mysteries, which are not only incredibly beautiful works of art, they constitute the single most important theurgical narrative to have survived in the Western esoteric tradition. It was a great conversation that delved into some beautiful territory, and I hope you enjoy it!

PLEASE NOTE: In the video version of this episode, found on Vimeo and linked here in the show notes, I include images of some of the frescos as we discuss them, so I recommend watching the video version if you have the chance.

On this episode of Coffee & Divination, we welcome author and magician Ivy Bromius, to talk about her most recent release, the Cancer Grimoire.  This work, offered for free on her website, was written after her recent experience with breast cancer. She is thankfully now cancer-free, and has written the Cancer Grimoire to hopefully help others who are going through health crises, as well as to open up important conversations around magic, wellness, and healthcare in our culture.  

Please note that we discuss some intense subjects during this episode, and, as neither Ivy nor myself are doctors, our conversation does not constitute medical advice.

The return of this podcast's very first guest, Sam Block! This was another wonderful conversation, this time discussing grammatomancy (the art of divination using letters of an alphabet - in this case the ancient Greek alphabet and the oracle that uses those letters) as well as hermeticism, magic, and more. It was a fascinating conversation, and I hope to have Sam on again for more another time!

A wonderful conversation with author Peter Mark Adams - a specialist in the ethnography of ritual, sacred landscapes, esotericism and healing.  His works have been published by Inner Traditions and Scarlet Imprint; and include “The Game of Saturn: Decoding the Sola-Busca Tarocchi” and “Mystai: Dancing out the Mysteries of Dionysus”  The Game of Saturn is a work which leads the reader through a fascinating journey, exploring the 15th cent. Sola Busca tarocchi, which is a work of stunning beauty and complexity, as well as containing tantalizing clues regarding Renassance practices of ritual magic. It was a fascinating chat, and one that I hope will lead to other conversations in the future!
