S4E2 - Interview with Amy Blackthorn (Part 2)

Send us Fan Mail

This Samhain, talk ghosts and grounding with Elyse, Leandra, and Amy. Join Leandra and Elyse for part two of our conversation in the Magick Kitchen with Amy Blackthorn, intuitive witch and bestselling author of books like Blackthorn's Botanical Magic, Blackthorn's Protection Magic, and her new book, Botanical Wellness.

This second half of our interview gets a bit personal as we dive into trance work and past lives, and the sometimes traumatic side effects those experiences can bring.  We talk about the Spirit of Place, and what makes Delaware so incredibly grounding.  We discuss synesthesia and the way colors affect Elyse and Amy's perceptions; being neurodivergent and how that affects our travel and enjoyment of life.

Trigger warning: stalking, sexual assault.
