The first episode of Mystical Sweeties, a podcast that takes you on a spiritual deep dive into the woo woo. I discuss my personal indoctrination into woo woo and introduce witchcraft as feminist resistance with some lolz & interesting examples.

Episode One: What is woo woo and who am I?

In the second episode of Mystical Sweeties, we take a deep dive into ~energy healing~ modalities and speak with intuitive healer Maryanne Sea. Maryanne honed her intuitive capacities when forced to live in a bubble for many years following a physical trauma (!) and now uses her highly developed intuition to enter her client's bodies remotely in order to feel and release traumatic content, and to communicate with babies in utero.

Episode Two: Intuitive healing with Maryanne Sea

In the third episode of Mystical Sweeties we explore South Asian woo woo, from Sri Lankan politicians consulting astrologists before setting election dates, to the yakum natima or devil dance ritual, and Mohini, a vengeful bad bitch coming for men in their wet dreams (lol). 

Then, we welcome poet, performer and definite mystical sweetie Manisha Anjali, whose work draws heavily on ancient mythology and rituals from her Indian and Fijian heritage. Manisha introduces us to drink of the gods ~soma~ and performs one of her poems live on the show.

Episode Three: South Asian Folklore with Manisha Anjali

In the fourth episode of Mystical Sweeties, we explore astrology with Brooklyn based astrologer Alice Sparkly Kat. From navigating Saturn returns (she really is that bitch tbh), to the need to queer and decolonize astrology, and the beauty of Internet astrology culture, Alice offers her very thoughtful thots.

Episode Four: Decolonizing Astrology with Alice Sparkly Kat

In the fifth episode of Mystical Sweeties, we take a deep dive into dreams and the subconscious mind. 

Comic book artist, illustrator, writer, dream enthusiast and Tara's old housemate (fun fact) Rachel Ang discusses the centrality of dreams to her creative practice, and why we should all court our subconscious mind like a new and exciting lover. Both Rachel and Tara share their weird dream inspired writing, from soy sauce abortions, to boyfriends shape shifting into chihuahuas.

Episode Five: Mining your Dreams with Rachel Ang

Cry Carpet explores the shared act of crying through listening and language. Like carpet, this choir’s sonic ground is soft and coarse, layered, densely woven and spread. This ritual creates and alters bodily states within and between people. It generates a connective field, through an uncanny, rigorous meditation.

Cry Carpet by Alice Heyward, Jacqui Shelton and Megan Payne
