In this week's show we give you some of the tips and techniques from our talk at the Magickal Women Conference 2022. We speak and share our experience in using the ‘journey’ to connect with the deepest parts of yourself and work on that shadow.

This week we look at the Tarot with Spiritual Life Coach Reena of @goldkeyguidance Lots of us like to play with this tool for divination, but what is it like to really read them? Aren't they just playing cards with pictures on? We look at what the Tarot is and what we might use it for, and the way it compliments coaching and other forms of spiritual study.

We’re back this week with our first episode of 2023!!! Also, it just happens to be our first birthday this week! We’ve been thinking (and chatting) a lot about the meaning of new year, the pressure of it and the reality of what is is really to force new beginnings in the depths of the dark time of the year. We’re feeling like #2023 is a year to get #selfinvolved Fix up look sharp and love. Set those boundaries and don’t back down. Offer your support to people because you can but don’t let the stuff become yours.

Do shows like Star Trek and Black Mirror warn us of what is to come or are we collectively creating our reality? Jay and Nicola dive deep into this question on the episode. As a society are we programmed by our media to behave, think and create in a certain way? Do we have the freedom to truly manifest the world we desire, and can we even imagine that world?! Listen in and let us know what you think about this topic on our instagram @theafroanimistpodcast. P.S a note about Joe Rogan....This episode was recorded prior to the revelation that he used the "n word. The episode remains illustrative of our sentiments towards Predictive Programming. We appreciate Joe Rogan's choice of guests and creating a platform to support different views and information from those qualified to explain certain subject matters that need academic support behind them to alleviate confusion and misinformation. We believe Mr Rogan is wrong for, and in no position to say the N word and should know this by now. We believe in giving people the chance to grow and learn from their mistakes. 

Today's discussion on Spotify delves deep into the intriguing topic of "Girl Bossing" and the hidden fallacies that might lurk beneath its glamorous surface. We explore the notion of being caught in the never-ending cycle of hard work for capitalism, all under the guise of feminism. Is it truly a spiritual endeavor to push oneself to the limits within this system? Or are there other paths to empowerment and fulfillment that are worth exploring? We also scrutinize the idea of going back to the home and whether it offers a more liberating alternative or if it too is entwined with restrictive and patriarchal constructs. Join us in this engaging conversation that unravels the layers of contemporary feminism and its impact on our lives. Together, let's examine the complexities of empowerment and societal roles, and share your perspective on these intriguing questions. Keywords: Girl Boss, Capitalism, Feminism, Empowerment, Patriarchy, Women's Roles, Work-Life Balance, Contemporary Feminism, Empowerment Narratives, Social Commentary, Cultural Discourse. Tune in for an insightful exploration of these thought-provoking themes and contribute your voice to a conversation that challenges our preconceptions and inspires meaningful dialogue. 💪🌟 #FeminismDebate #Empowerment #GenderRoles #SparkingDialogue

This week we are exploring all things folk music with the incredibly knowledgeable @essaflett
Did you know that folk music and esoterica are inextricably linked? Because both are mediums of the people, used for expression, community, education and cultural story telling. Through the Middle Ages the witch trials destroyed this cultural connection for many.
We have a rich culture of folk music in our United Kingdom’s, but each countries experience is a different, and that echoes down to our experience of folk music now.
Essa also shares with us her depth of exploration of music, her lifestyle, identity and standing up for herself to live in the way that she wants. We have nuff respect for this woman 🥰
If you love your magickal history, this one is not to be missed.

Join your hosts, Nicky and Love, as they once again delve into the profound world of Grandmother Ayahuasca. But this time, Nicky takes center stage, sharing her awe-inspiring experiences with inter-dimensional beings that go beyond conventional notions of aliens. Prepare to be captivated as Nicky delves into the enigmatic world of inter-dimensional beings, shedding light on the profound and mystical encounters that have left her spellbound. These encounters, often labeled as "alien abductions," are explored in depth, revealing their intricate connection to sacred plant medicines and altered states of consciousness. Discover the fascinating phenomenon of Spiritual Surgery, where Nicky's experiences with these inter-dimensional entities transcend the boundaries of the physical and enter the realm of spiritual transformation and healing. Keywords: Grandmother Ayahuasca, Spiritual Surgery, Inter-dimensional Beings, Alien Abductions, Altered States of Consciousness, Cosmic Encounters, Sacred Plant Medicines, Mystical Realms, Spiritual Transformation, Consciousness Exploration, Afro Animist Podcast.

This week on The Afro Animist Podcast, we deal with the topics of Toxic Positivity, Victim Blaming and abuse.  It's so easy in the spiritual community to slip into states of Toxic Positivity, especially when it's so heavily preached and it can be a wonderful distraction from healing.  But when we get to the nitty gritty, it's so important to talk about the negative side of these concepts so that we gain a more nuanced understanding of the Human Experience. Only then will we move towards a society that's actually safe and validating for all .

This week Jay and Nicola discuss the use of Psychedelics in modern western society, the healing potential they have and the ways they can be misused. Are we told the truth about the reality of these natural medicines? Do they bring you closer to yourself, God? Should we have access to them or are they dangerous and they easy way out when it comes to our healing? Let us know what you think and what your experience has been on instagram @theafroanimistpodcast (films mentioned are Fantastic Fungi and Magic Medicine on Netflix. Have a Good Trip and Grass is Greener are also great documentary films!)

What is the #motherwound? This week Jay and Nicola explore their experience around their wounded feminine, how they’ve grown and learnt from it. This episode doesn't seek to blame Mothers, or Parents, but the concept itself which can be carried through blood lines intergenerationally. How much of our Mother's Mother's Mother's Mother's coping mechanisms have been passed down to the present day? This is especially important if you're from a community that has experienced oppression in your bloodline.  

 What does it mean to accept your parents as human beings who are also learning how to navigate Earth? Can we look back at our familial traumas whilst moving forward and growing with our own personal stories? Can we escape the past traumas associated with Womanhood?  The Kybalion states that Gender is in all things, which means every human is made of a balance of both. By differentiating the Divine Feminine and Wounded Feminine, we can all move forward as our most Divine selves.  Tune into this discussion about healing the mother wound, how to heal intergenerational trauma and how everyone can learn to embody aspects of the Divine Feminine.

In this week’s episode Nicola and Jay discuss the reality cults, abuse and the dark side of spiritual (or any) community. With guest Elizabeth Donoghue, activist and survivor, we explore the nature of cults, how abuse happens and what it is. What is it like to walk into the world of 'healing' and be faced with cult mentality, mental, physical and sexual abuse? So many of us are searching for healing, growth, community, understanding, it can be easy to fall into cycles of abusive behaviour, especially in spiritual community where a there is a belief system that is set in place and unquestionable.

Did you spend this weekend marking Imbolc, or the Feast of Maman Brigitte?  This time of year marks an equal point between winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, where we start to see a turn in the seasons. This is where the death and cold of winter begins to subside and the newness of rebirth begins.  In Haiti, and New Orleans Vodou, the Feast of Maman Brigitte marks the start of this transition bringing awareness that energy is moving. In the British Isles, Imbolc is a Pagan holiday once again, observing this precious energy.
