All good things must come to an end…or at least take a wee break. Here we are at the conclusion of Season 1! Can you believe it, dear listener? It has been an amazing ride, and we have enjoyed every minute of it with you: our Middle Vibes family. In fact, that’s how this season closes: with a conversation about Covens and their immense importance as it relates to providing a safe, loving environment.

• M. does what she always does best and gets us started with a history of covens and how she thinks that came to be seen as “evil” to some. There are some fascinating parallels/references between covens and religion that are worth a listen and a rewind! [1:30]
• Covens have evolved over time and adapted to tools such as the internet/social media. The modern Coven looks very different from its traditional predecessor, and yet it still remains a powerful resource. [30:28] 
• In fact, the idea of Covens transcends witchcraft. B. &  M. take us through the history of Pride Month and explain how creating a safe space is vital to community. [37:58]

To charge or not to charge for your services, that is indeed the question. You will find that the answer nestled in this podcast is this: Yes and yes, again.

• B. + M. give some great insight as they talk about their journey with charging for Tarot services. In the beginning, it’s easy to underestimate the amount of energy it takes to guide people through a reading. As your favorite hosts will explain, this service requires much time, effort, and energy and you soon find that this is a service worth charging for…and that’s okay!  
• This listen closes out with a signature ritual from M. [48:50] and a Tarot pull from B. [50:52] that will get you prepared to harness the power of May 30th’s New Moon in Gemini.

Well, we’re here. The moment so many of you have been waiting for: M shares her experience with being in a cult. 

• Our dear M. walks us through her time in a cult, outlining the beginning to the end. [11:18] 
• There are some clear signs that arise when dealing with a cult but, as you will hear, it is not always easy to see when you are actually in the midst. From Proverbs 31 to 3 finger width shoulder straps, (yup, you heard us.) sit back and listen to this first-hand account. 
• After a quick cult Q&A session between B. + M. [46:10], the duo tackles a different type of cult: cancel culture. [59:26] You’ve heard B. + M. mention their disdain for this phenomenon in past episodes, but now you get to dig into the exact ‘why.’ 
• B reads Clementine Morrigan's tweet about the problem with cancel culture. [1:20:00]
• As always, don’t forget to fully absorb M.s ritual [1:24:00], which has a very pragmatic approach this time, and B.’s tarot pull. [1:29:00]  
• As a bonus, make sure you listen all the way to the end to hear what shenanigans McDonald’s is up to. (Trust us - it’s eyebrow-raising!)

Let’s talk about S-E-X… with a touch of magic! What exactly is sex magick? We’ve seen it portrayed in various movies and shows, but, as usual, the truth is a little more involved than what we see on the silver screens.

• B gets us started with all the excited feels right at the beginning of this episode as she shares a very special announcement that has us grinning from ear to ear. [1:30] 
• This leads us into an “edge-of-your-seat” personal story that B so graciously shares: her experience with sex magic. You will hear her personal account peppered throughout this episode with insightful moments from M as they break down the truth about sex magic.
• As usual, M gives us a beautiful ritual for this New Moon [44:26], and B follows up with a very special tarot pull for you [49:52].

Is medication the ultimate intuition killer? Our vote is a big ‘NO.’ For far too long, there have been conversations that shame, assume, and shed a negative light on what it means to engage with medication while being a witch. Leave it to your two favorite hosts to give a deeper dive that leaves you just a tad more confident when you finish their latest episode!

• We kick off with B letting us know what her word of the year is and why. [1:04] 
• B guides us through the benefits of leaning into your word(s) of the year (or even your lifetime!). If you aren’t sure how to find your word, listen carefully to B’s quick activity at [6:05]. 
• The words you speak and the intention you set is vital to your journey: physically, spiritually, and mentally. Speaking of your mental journey, M gets transparent on the microphone as she dives into her own history with mental health and finding the right medication. [14:00] 
• B gives insight on a personal path for medicine and magic that is truly an eye-opener. [18:57] 
• Don’t forget to indulge in M’s ritual [39:16] and B’s [41:01]  tarot pull as you soak in all of that Full Moon energy!

She loves me, he loves me not. They love me; they love me not. Maybe I should take matters into my own hands…Stop right there! You can throw a rock and hit a love spell plot in Hollywood but what you won’t get is the truth. This week B + M let you in on what love spells are and how successful (can you hear our sarcasm) they have been through the ages.

• We kick off the episode with an interesting love spell memory from our dear M, which is sure to give you a chuckle. [1:00]
•  After that let’s get acquainted with the history of love spells and some of the ways women used them in their daily lives. [2:20] 
• As juicy as that will be for you, we think that B’s recollection of a passage from The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish will give you an eyebrow raise! [7:03]. 
• B + M spend some time talking about B’s favorite movies: Teen Witch [10:17] and The Craft [13:15].

Curses come with a heavy price. Are you prepared to pay for it? B + M breakdown cursing, hexing, binding, freezing, and banishing in this two-part episode.

• After you get your crash + course in all-things-hexes, recenter with M’s ritual [40:55] and B’s tarot pull [42:43] for the Worm Moon.

**Trigger Warning: This episode contains material that discusses sexual assault. We’ve time-stamped those moments should you want to avoid those areas: 6:36 and 22:50-24:17** 

Ask, believe, and ye shall receive….right? Ah, it’s a bit more complex than that. Let’s talk about the Law of Attraction, manifesting, and all the thoughts about how to manifest.

First, we’ll dig right into the question: 

• What is New Thought? [2:50] 
• The duo also touches on the teachings of Abraham-Hicks and their thoughts on where those teachings fall when it comes to manifestation. [9:52] 
• With so much surrounding the Law of Attraction, it’s easy to get lost in the nuances. You’ll hear how B + M’s personal Law of Attraction definitions shows how manifestation is a personal journey. There is a lot to dig through in this episode, from opinions on folks selling manifestation courses [34:24] to disease and manifestation [38:13]. 
• All of that boils down to the real question: How can we actually manifest? [44:09]
