In this episode we discuss 2034 as The Strength Year, what it means, what to expect, and how to work WITH the Lion of Strength rather than struggle against it. We also consider what tools will be available to us in the Strength Year, mythologies of Strength, what it means to be authentic, post-humanist perspectives on Strength, and how to find our way this year with the Star card to guide us. Finally, we speak to your own PERSONAL card of the Year and what that means for you, so join us! P.S. Don't forget to sign up for our Strength Year workshop! See below

In the Queen of Cups tarot card, we see a Queen gazing intently into a lidded golden goblet. By the power of their attention and care, whatever is in the goblet is infused with magic. Like the sea itself, the essence of the suit of Cups is to ebb and flow. This Queen teaches us to pay attention to our cycles and rhythms. When this card comes up in a reading, something mysterious is rising up from the well of creativity inside you, called to new life. Our guest today, creativity expert Dr. Diana Rivera is here to help us take our creative powers seriously and bring our creative babes into being.

In this, the second of two solo episodes with host Amanda Yates Garcia on "The Grail Knight", we discuss the mythologies of the Knight of Cups. Specifically, we focus on the Celtic legend of the Grail Knight Percival, his travels through the Forest of Arroy (the Forest of Adventure), and his encounter with the Fisher King. We talk about the Well Maidens, and the Wasteland. We describe the pursuit of the Grail as one of the founding myths of Western Civilization, because it describes the desecration of the sacred, but also prophesies what medicine must be found in order to restore the world to right order. We give study questions, and also rituals you can use when themes related to the Knight of Cups show up in your reading, or your life. Join us!

The Knight of Cups is guided by visions. Theyâre spiritual, on a quest for meaning and purpose. This person is an artist, a poet, theyâve been wounded, theyâve become wise, theyâre pursuing their dreams. If you get this card in a reading, itâs an invitation to get curious about your inner world and and the inner world of others. In this, the first of two Amanda solo episodes on "The Grail Knight", we discuss the basic meaning of the knight, correspondences, pop culture references, and all the reasons why you don't want to date this Knight if they come up in reverse.

Where is the realm of Hecate? In the liminal spaces, the place where the imagination and the material world meet. So says Robert Allen, author of the forthcoming book "Imago," about what's really going in the magician's mission of astral projection. Weaving together strands from his background in painting, Ceremonial Magic, German Tanz Theatre, physical theater, phenomenology and the philosophy of images, Amanda and Robert discuss the relationship between art and magic, and how the imagination really can change the world. The images of the tarot are bottomless pools into the void, offering us opportunities to travel between the worlds. We're especially thrilled to share this episode with you because Robert Allen is one of Amanda's dearest teachers, she's been studying with him for years and is so excited to share his work with you.

In this episode we discuss 2023 as The Chariot Year, what it means, what to expect, and how to work WITH the Chariot rather than against it. We also reflect on 2022, the Lovers Year, and consider what tools it was giving us that we can use to keep our Chariot in good working order. Finally, we speak to your own PERSONAL card of the Year and what that means for you, so join us! P.S. Thank you to Jonathan Koe who inspired the title of this episode!

Growing up as a queer kid on the small, conservative Greek island of Cyprus, George Lizos realized that he had to choose between trying (and failing) to fit into unjust social standards, or to focus on becoming more authentically himself. Choosing the latter, he eventually became a pagan priest, and devoted his life to learning protection magick - a technique for taking our lives back from dominant ideologies and living into our authentic selves.
Join us on todayâs episode of Between the Worlds, where George teaches us how to overcome fear of judgement, imposter syndrome, and people pleasing with his 7 Step Formula for energetic protection. We discuss energetic cords, psychic daggers (and how to remove them), digital amulets and talismans and how to protect your energy on social media (!!).
George Lizos is a spiritual teacher, psychic healer, the host of The Lit Up Lightworker Podcast, and the #1 bestselling author of Be The Guru, Lightworkers Gotta Work, and Protect Your Light. We canât wait to introduce you! Join us!
