À propos de cet audio

Welcome to My Alchemical Romance, an investigative podcast and spiritual bookclub.

We present a fearless seeing into the metaphysical and material nature of how spiritual practice, passed down traditions and belief shapes the individual, community and therefore the culture at large.

The world is saturated with spiritual paths, syncretic ancient lineages, hooked in eastern wisdoms, shamanic practices, occult lore and native mythologies. We are offered truth, meaning, healing, a way to expand consciousness, the secrets of transmuting our dirt into gold and a way to meet spirit. The lure of the mystic and rigorously trained initiate haul us out of the mundane to unseen, yet tangible magic. Or does it?

We look at the books. And with those books the teacher. And with that teacher the offerings of workshops, trainings and the invitation to step into your power. Which you will, of course, pay for and not just financially.

So what happens when you pick up the rock and see the hidden bodies crawling underneath in the dark? Well, as it turns out, quite a bit.

    Two former "bee-priestesses" start their podcast journey by picking apart a false lineage they were once a part of and helped unravel. It will be deeply investigative, full of insight and also full of snark and laughs and a healthy dose of cuss words. Can't take yourself too seriously.

    My Alchemical Romance:

    This is a podcast where two spiritually over seasoned women explore and investigate the lure of magical books, hidden traditions and what it means, in reality, to follow a sacred path or what you believe to be a calling.

    There are many religious, occult, shamanic traditions out there - many overlapping in their doctrines, beliefs, lore and practices. Offerings of magic in a chaos laced world are seductive, and never more so when the bond of community runs parallel.

    We hold a fascination in the wellspring of belief and faith in the unseen. And more so the weave of how mystical knowing becomes the fabric of how a life is lived. But what’s often overlooked, yet as compelling, is when that weave is ripped apart.
