  • The Oracle of Luna with Bridget Engels presents: Nikki Wardwell Sleath: Occultist, Lucid Dream Teacher, Author & Priestess of the Morrigan
    Jul 4 2025

    Join us in this episode for a fascinating conversation with Nikki Wardwell Sleath. Nikki is a formally trained Witch and professional Occult teacher. She is the founder of the Society of Witchcraft and Old Magick, holds a master’s degree in Integrative Health and Healing, is a Reiki Master/Teacher, and is trained through the highest level of shamanic dream teacher/facilitator training in Robert Moss’s School of Active Dreaming. She has worked with clients and students for many years. Nikki is also a longtime priestess of the Morrigan and acts as a co-facilitator for the annual Morrigan's Call Retreat. In addition to Dream Sorcery, Nikki is the author of The Goddess Seals and You Might Be a Witch and has more books forthcoming. She lives in Connecticut, USA. *Stay tuned until the end where Nikki gives us a short, guided meditation to prepare for lucid dreaming*

    We start out by chatting about Nikki’s early spiritual/witchcraft beginnings. Growing up she became aware of voices and spirits in her family’s house. She noticed her psychic abilities would sharpen in her college years every Fall. Nikki started researching The Wheel of the Year and modern-day witchcraft. This was a huge spiritual awakening for her and from then on, she knew she was a witch for life.

    After college, she became a physical therapist and tells us she would not be where she is as an occult teacher had it not been for her studies of healing on a holistic level. Nikki then began studying reiki, yoga, meditation and eventually got her master’s degree in Integrative Health & Healing which then led to her Shamanic certifications and skills that inform her magick and lucid dream practice. She also interned with Robert Moss a well renown shamanic dream teacher.

    Lucid dreaming is being fully aware of yourself while you are dreaming and so essentially, you’re conscious within a dream state. Adding magick and cultivating spell work to lucid dreaming is what her newest Dream Sorcery book explores. She gives the reader tools to engage in dream sorcery even if you are not a seasoned magickal practitioner. This book is important for the magical or enchanted community because it’s not written from the viewpoint of western psychiatry.

    Nikki firmly believes that dream sorcery can evolve our spiritual practice, and she hopes that the magickal reader will read her book and explore their own dream world where the rules of physics don’t limit the effect of the endless possibilities and realities. Nikki believes we can go from spectator to active magician in our dreams. Tune in and be enlightened! Nikki’s website: www.nikkiwardwellsleath.com

  • The Oracle of Luna with Bridget Engels presents: Deborah Blake: Author, Witch, Tarot & Oracle Deck Creator
    Jun 20 2025

    Join us, for a spellbinding conversation with Deborah Blake! Deborah Blake is the author of eighteen books on modern Witchcraft, including The Eclectic Witch’s Book of Shadows, A Year and a Day of Everyday Magic, and The Everyday Witch’s Coven, as well as the acclaimed Everyday Witch Tarot and Oracle and Everyday Witch’s Familiars Oracle decks. She has also written three paranormal romance and urban fantasy series, and as well as a cozy mystery series about a run-down pet rescue. Deborah lives in a 130-year-old farmhouse in upstate New York with numerous cats who supervise all her activities, both magical and mundane. *Stay tuned until the end where Deborah gives us a short, guided meditation to for quiet and peace*

    We start out by chatting about Deborah’s Witchcraft beginnings and how she developed her coven the: Blue Moon Circle which has been operating since 2004. Deborah says she thinks she was always a Witch but just didn’t know there was a name for it. She loved herbs, gardening and she had psychic abilities at a young age. As High Priestess of her Blue Moon Circle; Deborah integrated her Witchcraft/Wiccan teaching into her books that she started writing. Inspired by the Gods, Deborah sent in the manuscript for Circle, Coven & Grove: A Year of Magickal Practice to Llewelyn in 2005 and in 2007 it was published.

    Next, we dive into her popular Oracle and Tarot decks: Everyday Witch Tarot and the Everyday Witch’s Familiars Oracle and how she collaborates with the amazing and talented illustrator, Elisabeth Alba. Their successful, collaborative partnership flourishes as they continue to publish more incredible oracle and tarot decks together with Llewelyn Worldwide publishing. Deborah writes and Elisabeth works her magic to complete the visionary and artistic execution of these very popular tarot and oracle decks. Deborah has been a professional tarot reader for over 20 years which contributes to her understanding of tarot card meanings.

    The theme of many of Deborah’s books is ‘everyday magic’ and so we talk about how we can connect with our own everyday magic and integrate it into our own daily lives no matter where we live or what our spiritual backgrounds are. Deborah suggests some simple ways such as when you are taking a walk you can notice and connect with nature. Listen to the birds, feel the air on your skin, watch for omens, etc. If you cook, then kitchen witchery is the simplest way to integrate magic into what you are already cooking. Sprinkle in some fresh herbs and add your own intentions to the food you’re cooking. Experiment and have fun and as Deborah says: “There is no wrong way to do it. Whatever works for you is your kind of everyday witchcraft!”

    Deborah ends with a short meditation from her book: A Year and a Day of Everyday Magic for quiet and peace. More about Deborah Blake at https://deborahblakeauthor.com

  • The Oracle of Luna with Bridget Engels presents: Tiffany Hopkins: Author, Medium, Podcast Host of: “Normalize Talking to the Dead”- Lily Dale
    May 16 2025

    Join us, for a fascinating and meaningful conversation with Tiffany Hopkins! Tiffany Hopkins has has been a year-round resident of Lily Dale, NY since moving into her great-great grandmother’s cottage in 2018. Tiffany gives mediumship readings and works to share the unique experience of living surrounded by people who practice mediumship in Lily Dale through: Normalize Talking to The Dead, a Website, Podcast, and Residency. Her first book, “Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide to the Dead” (June 10, 2025) shares her story of moving to Lily Dale; a community that shares a rich history of mediumship, healing, social reform, freethinking, and walks readers through how to find their own approach to Mediumship. Tiffany has degrees in Cognitive Science, Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts & Music, and Business. *Stay tuned until the end where Tiffany gives us a short, guided meditation to open and close connection to contacting beyond the veil. *

    We start out by chatting about the captivating history of Lily Dale, an intentional Spiritualist community in New York state which has had a rich history of hosting freethinkers, social and political reformists, and mediums since the 1850’s. Originally Lily Dale was a summer camp for Spiritualists. There have been connections with the suffragette movement, labor movement, abolition and alternative religious beliefs with many famous mediums and notable people such as Susan B. Anthony who spoke about women's rights, as regular visitors, and speakers there. Gradually Lily Dale became a year-round live in community for professional mediums.

    We talk about Tiffany’s new book “Beyond: A Living Person’s Guide to the Dead” and how it developed from her research project in mediumship studies. Tiffany wrote a paper on the process of channeling which she expanded on into step-by-step approach explaining the channeling process for people to figure out how it can work for them. Tiffany believes people can learn mediumship just by doing and practicing it and paying attention to the subtleties.

    Tiffany believes that it is a natural human ability to connect with the spirits beyond the veil and that psychic work has been misunderstood. She thinks that anyone can do mediumship and connect with their departed loved ones on the other side, but it does take time and consistent practice. We can start with two powerful tools we all have to develop our psychic abilities and to reignite our connection with a departed loved one: our memories and our imaginations. She talks about how living in a supportive community of mediums at Lily Dale has helped her accept that it's normal to talk to spirits. Her goal with her book, classes and podcast is to help others develop their mediumship skills and abilities so that they can feel comfortable doing this on their own.

    Tiffany ends with a short, guided meditation to open and close connection to contacting beyond the veil. Tune in and be enlightened!
