Is it possible that fantasy fiction can help us to process real-world challenges?

Best-selling author of The Black Witch Chronicles, Laurie Forest joins us to discuss this through the lens of her series, The Black Witch Chronicles.

In a timely discussion that was recorded before the resurgence of book banning, Zoya and Laurie deep dive into a chat about:

• How prejudice in the fight for civil unions and marriage equality was a catalyst for The Black Witch Chronicles
• Religion, including Wicca, and Paganism
• The sentience of trees and establishing a connection with Nature
• Young women and their access to books on sexuality and consent
• The potential and resistance to fantasy fiction in childhood education
• Laurie’s next book in The Black Witch Chronicles, The Demon Tide, released on March 1, 2022
• …and much more!

The Black Witch Chronicles series order:

1. Wandfasted (prequel)
2. The Black Witch
3. Light Mage (novella)
4. The Iron Flower
5. The Shadow Wand
6. The Demon Tide
7. The Battle for Erthia (working title)

*The Rebel Mages is a combination of Wandfasted (book 0.5) and The Light Mage (Book 1.5)

Quiz: Which Black Witch Character are You?

We've all had that moment of feeling like we dropped the ball on something we were trying to manifest. Whether it was the actual materialization of the actual manifestation or a warm-up for it, that sinking feeling that we may have messed up sucks. 

It might be that we said something we shouldn't have in an interview that cost us a job opportunity. Maybe we didn't do the one thing our partner asked us to do for them when we were believing for our tenuous relationship to be healed. Why do we do this?

In this exploration, we'll look at how not addressing our sounds can cause us to sabotage the very things we're believing for and examine ways we can stop the cycle so we can receive the full realization of our dreams.

Is it possible that we’re conditioned for “wrongness” – to see ourselves as abnormal when we don’t fit in the conformist box of society? How does this affect our sense of self and emotional development?

 In part one of this two-part exploration, QHHT certified past life regressionist Jeroen de Wit shares with us through beautiful transparency his journey of healing from conformist-based childhood trauma.

In part two, the conclusion of our exploration, we dive into part life regression and how it can help people to discover truths and heal.

If you began with part two, be sure to go back and listen to part one for Jeroen’s journey of healing to be inspired for your own journey.

In part one of this two-part exploration, QHHT certified past life regressionist Jeroen de Wit shares with us through beautiful transparency his journey of healing from conformist-based childhood trauma. We deep dive into the modalities and touch on the experiences that helped him to discover, embrace, and express his full self and become a guide to help people heal. Jeroen also shares about his journey of feeling isolated and rejected for being different from others in his village in the Netherlands to embracing being gay and genderqueer.  

Be sure to listen to part two as well.

Take a journey to examine how our own projections can limit us from hearing the heart of another person's stories and limit how open-minded we truly are.

Is it possible that we’re being called into a modern version of our ancestral or primal ways? Are ancient-based interests evidence of that?

Brandee Owens, owner and certified steel mace coach of Steel Mace Valkyrie in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada joins us to explore how we may be connecting to our roots – even outside of our own lineage. Through Brandee’s journey of self-discovery, we explore what connecting with ancestral or primal ways may mean for realizing the power of self-reliance, having a better understanding of what we need outside of societal influence, and re-connecting with pre-tech ways of being.

Many of us like to believe that we're open-minded. However, when a core belief is challenged, we put up our defenses. We often choose to surround ourselves with like-minded people to avoid these challenges. What if we were to invite people into our lives who have differing beliefs? Might this lead to greater happiness, better health, and a more balanced society? 

Do you feel like you're stuck in a place of darkness? How can you shift to a place of light? Join us for an exercise in bringing light into what feels like a dark place.

Is it possible there is more than one way to experience our reality? Could how we perceive our reality be influenced by having origins from a star or another planet? Can leaning into this possibility help us to heal from trauma?

Certified yoga therapist, meditation teacher, instructor, and co-founder of Breathe Meditation and Wellness Chelsey Charbeneau joins us. She shares how her journey into deep, spiritual, self-exploration led her to physical and emotional healing. We explore how keeping your mind open to other perspectives and possibilities can help you to discover paths to healing and awareness you may not have realized. 

We also explore the possibility of being from a star family, speaking in light languages from that star home, and how that may play a role in each era of human existence.

Loss is inevitable. It does not have to hold us down. Loss can instead be a powerful catalyst for transformation. In this meditation, we'll journey through re-framing the loss of something that was important to us, yet not vital.
