    Ever wondered how theism and atheism intersect within the realm of witchcraft? Join me and my husband, Ken, as we embark on a revealing exploration of our personal spiritual practices and the unique way they blend into our lives. Ken shares his creative journey with "The Gila Monster Rides," a YouTube channel where he delves into a plethora of interests. As we peel back the layers of Ken's family history, we uncover tales of practical resourcefulness, like his grandmother's famous sparrow pie, and discuss how these roots have influenced his embrace of the "witch" label and connection to a broader community.

    Balancing spiritual practices with the chaos of daily life can be a challenge, but it’s one we dive into with gusto. Je reveals his two favorite rituals: a calming bedtime ceremony involving Florida water and prayers with the hum of a box fan, and a daily writing task inspired by The Artist's Way. These rituals have rekindled old passions and infused our lives with deeper meaning. We touch on decision-making, intuition, and the struggles of maintaining spiritual consistency amidst life's demands, all while navigating the occasional imposter syndrome within our witchcraft journey.

    From hot sauce adventures to the transformative power of morning pages, our conversation is a candid and humorous exploration of how we infuse our spirituality into everyday experiences. I encourage you to check out our multimedia content on motorcycles, where cinematic flair meets education. Plus, there’s a tantalizing teaser about a memorable escapade in Colorado Springs that promises more laughs and insights. Tune in for engaging stories, thoughtful reflections, and a hearty dose of humor as we invite you into our unique world of spirituality and creativity.
