    Dear Bellamy Black,

    It was great meeting you at Blessed Be Tea and Apothecary the other day. While I was there, we got to talking about divination and tarot. While I felt like a lot of my questions were answered, you suggested I write a letter to the podcast so that an expert might weigh in on the topic, so here ya go.

    I have always felt drawn to practicing divination through tarot card readings, but I am completely overwhelmed. Do I have to start with a specific kind of deck, like the Rider Waite deck, or can I choose one that has artwork I like. Am I even allowed to buy my own deck, or does it have to be gifted to me? I don’t want to be attached to the guide book that comes with the deck, how can I learn to read fluently without the guide? and What is the difference between oracle decks, and tarot decks? Ugh so many questions, I really could keep going, but I think that’s a good start.

    I cant wait to hear what your expert has to say on the matter. Thank you for taking my many , many questions. Blessed Be!!

    In this insightful episode of Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black, we sit down with professional tarot reader and diviner, Loreen Muzik, to explore the fascinating world of tarot. Together, we debunk some of the common myths surrounding tarot reading, like the notion that you must be gifted your first deck.

    Loreen shares her expertise on the differences between reading tarot cards by the book versus tapping into your intuition, and how both approaches can be valuable in your practice. We also take a deep dive into the rich history of tarot, with a special focus on Pamela Colman Smith, the brilliant artist and woman of color behind the iconic imagery of the Rider-Waite deck. We honor her legacy and discuss her significant contributions to the divination community.

    In addition, we explore the various forms of card-based divination beyond tarot, including Oracle and Lenormand decks, and how each offers unique insights and guidance.

    Whether you’re a seasoned tarot reader or just beginning your journey, this episode is packed with knowledge, history, and practical advice to enrich your divination practice.

    Episode 8 - How do I embrace Magick with a Neurospicy Brain?
    Aug 7 2024
    SHOW NOTES PLEASE LIKE, FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE! Today's Listener Letter is sent in by "Can’t Sit Still in Cadillac". Dear Bellamy Black, I am disabled and on the spectrum. I want to practice magic but I am struggling to focus my attention. I know meditation is really important, but I find I really struggle with turning my brain off and just being silent. When I research different magic methodologies I can only really find information for neurotypical brain types. While I am able to utilize some of these techniques I find most of them to be challenging at best. I was wondering if you had any insight on some good resources for a neurodivergent witch, such as myself. Its hard not seeing any resources readily available for someone like me. Am I not supposed to be a magical person? In this heartfelt episode of "Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black," we address a deeply moving listener letter from a neurodivergent witch struggling to find resources and techniques that resonate with their unique way of experiencing the world. They expressed their struggles with focusing their attention, particularly with traditional meditation techniques that emphasize stillness and silence. They shared their frustration at the lack of resources tailored for neurodivergent individuals and questioned if they were meant to practice magic at all. We explore the shamanic view of "mental illness" and how, in various cultures, behaviors seen as “disturbed” by Western standards are considered gifts. These behaviors are often viewed as blessings from the gods, enabling individuals to perceive the world through a unique and sacred lens. We discuss practical tools and methods for embracing magic with a brain that is always active. We discuss ways to harness and channel this constant mental activity into magical practices rather than fighting against it. And we highlight resources and communities that support neurodivergent witches. These include books, and practitioners who offer inclusive and adaptive approaches to magic. We offer reassurance that being neurodivergent does not preclude one from being a magical person. We emphasize that magic is for everyone, regardless of how their brain works, and celebrate the diverse ways in which people can connect with their magical practices. Join us for this empowering episode as we validate the experiences of neurodivergent witches and offer practical advice for integrating magic into their lives.

    Episode 7 - How can Sex Magick Transform your life?
    Jul 24 2024
    SHOW NOTES PLEASE LIKE, FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE! Disclaimer: This episode of "Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black" is rated explicit and will explore the topic of sex magick with respect and professionalism. We recognize that discussions about sex can be triggering for some individuals. While this episode focuses on embracing natural sexual urges and does not delve into sexual trauma, we understand the importance of providing support for those affected by such experiences. If you or someone you know is experiencing sexual abuse, or dealing with mental health issues caused by sexual abuse and assault, please reach out to the following resources: For Sexual Abuse Support: National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN): 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or visit rainn.org NSVRC (National Sexual Violence Resource Center): nsvrc.org For Mental Health Support: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 or visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 or visit crisistextline.org SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357) or visit samhsa.gov Remember, you are not alone, and help is available. Please take care of yourself and seek the support you need. Today's Listener Letter is sent in by "The Sexy Siren". Dear Bellamy, Oh, boy, I can’t believe I am sending this letter, but here goes. I want to learn about Sex Magic! In general society tells us to keep whatever our sexual practices might be to ourselves. They tell us it's taboo to talk about arousal, masturbation, and pretty much anything other than heteronormative missionary style sex practice for procreation only. They tell us our naked bodies are sinful. Pardon my language but fuck these social constructs. I have always been something of an introvert. For a lot of my life people might have described me as mousy, a wallflower type. It wasn’t until I was introduced to my current partner that I learned how much power was lying dormant in my body. They helped me explore the Tantric side of sex; they helped me access orgasms. I wholeheartedly believe that there was a side of me that was liberated from chastity when I learned that my body could feel this powerful, and sex helped me feel that way. I gained confidence and love for my body for the first time in 40 years. I want to normalize talking about the passion and energy that explodes out of a person’s body when they reach Climax. I know that energy, in general, plays a huge role in manifestation and spell work. Can you discuss how to utilize sexual energy for magic? In this explicit episode of "Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black," we delve into the often misunderstood and taboo topic of sex magick with our special guest, Katie Mae Scripps. Katie is a priestess of the intimate arts and a somatic life coach, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to our discussion. None of us would be here without sex, yet our society struggles to embrace and talk openly about it. While everything around us is oversexualized, especially in sales and consumerism, genuine conversations about sex remain stigmatized. This episode challenges those social constructs and explores the power and potential of sexual energy. Our conversation is inspired by a powerful listener letter, which discusses the societal taboos around sexual practices, arousal, and body positivity. The listener shares a personal journey of discovering the transformative power of sexual energy through exploring tantric practices with a partner, leading to newfound confidence and self-love. They express a desire to normalize conversations about the passion and energy released during climax and ask for guidance on utilizing sexual energy for manifestation and spell work. We cover these topics in depth, discussing how embracing our natural sexual urges can lead to personal empowerment and greater self-love. Katie shares her insights on how sexual energy can be harnessed for magick, bringing forth our deepest desires and enhancing our spell work. Join us for a respectful and enlightening exploration of sex magick, and discover how you can tap into this powerful energy to transform your life. #religion #spirituality #sexmagick #tantra #sexualawakening #utilizingenergy #burstsofenergy #priestessoftheintimatearts #katiemaezing #nostupidquestions #selflove #consent #pleasure #knowledgeispower #blessedbe #askawitch #bellamyblack #podcast #traversecity #cydeproductions To Find Katie Mae Scripps Facebook and Instagram @katiemaezing Website to Book Appointments with Katie Mae www.katiemaezing.com TEA Two To Tango Ingredients: Damiana, Gingko, Rose, Aschwagandha, Shatavari, Hawthorn, Lemongrass, Horny Goat Weed Order today at www.blessedbetea.com SIGN OUR PETITION TO CHANGE THE OED DEFINITION OF “WITCH” https://chng.it/jDsL52PBBK SPONSORS KATIE MAE SCRIPPS Facebook and Instagram @katiemaezing Website to Book Appointments with Katie Mae ...
