In this episode we are looking at one of the weirder ideas brought to us from science and pop culture, The Multiverse. What is it? How many are there? How do I go visit one of the other ones? Well, we might not be able to answer all of those questions, we do at least have a go.  We’ll talk about how Sliding Doors, all the Star Treks and Marvel shows draw on the concept of many worlds. Can we peak at these through dreaming and meditation? We talk about different universes piled on top of each other and whether "soft places" mean we might slip through to another dimension. We round off with a decision that, just like Everything Everywhere All At Once, we can borrow outcomes from our other selves through spellcasting. We’re not a science show, or a medical show  so where we have totally butchered the physics and medical science, we’re very sorry! We have an article on magick and the multiverse that further describes today’s topic. If you haven't subscribed to our website yet - please check it out magentaschoolofmagick.com.

Season 4 of That Magick Podcast starts on the 23rd September 2023, 12pm GMT. Season 4 looks at how mainstream magick is, and whether it's time to bring magick into the boardroom. During this 8 episode run, we'll be talking about astrology, the multiverse and the representation of magick in the music industry. We also overlay pop culture and business into our episodes, to consider how fairly represented magick is in our society.  If you haven't subscribed to our website yet - please check it out magentascho⁠olofmagick.com.

We open our show with a terrible pun and a fair warning that this one is probably not safe for work and will prompt younger listeners to ask several questions, if you’re listening with younger people in the car. In this episode we talk about what sex magick is, go on a little bit of a rant about Aleister Crowley, sharing a potted history along the way. Using examples from Disney, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eyes Wide Shut but not the porn industry, we try to explain some ethical considerations of sex magick alongside what it is. Some parts of today’s episode can get a little graphic and gross, so fair warning people. Hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will have a bit more knowledge and an idea of the ethics of sex magick.  We have an article on the ethics of sex magick that further describes today’s topic.

In this episode we open up a mail bag to answer some frequently asked questions. Such as are love spells real? We know from shows like Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer that love spells can backfire, but the movie Supergirl shows they can work. We get into other questions such as how do we know when spells work? Should people cleanse their shop bought tools and gifts? How do deities work best? What type of witch should I be? What are familiars? And how did that Lenormand reading from episode 6 work out? So we open our show with an update on how our Lenormand reading worked out and hopefully by the end of this episode shed some light on some of the other frequently asked questions and their answers to help magickal practitioners on their learning journey. We have an article on the different types of magick and cleansing that further describes today’s topics. Follow and subscribe at magentaschoolofmagick for all our amazing, and free, content.

**We apologise for the sound. We hadn't noticed the microphone had failed until after and because we bulk record, this has impacted a few of our episodes this season** We open our show having a debate over the french-ness or otherwise of Lenormand, which quickly falls apart as of course Madame Lenormand was indeed french.  In this episode we have not been able to find a pop-culture reference for Lenormand, so instead we try to look at it from the perspective of games that are more on point with regard to reality than first they appear....which is tenuous at best. So, with absolutely nothing to do with divination at all, we badly draw on Jumanji as an illustration of a game that turns out to be an alternate reality…as Lenormand tends to do when the cards are used as a tool for divination. We do eventually do a short five card practise reading and we look at two alternatives for combining the cards in this example reading. Hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will have an idea how to combine Lenormand cards into a reading. We have an article on 5 card Lenormand readings plus all of our Lenormand resources as well that further describes today’s topic. We also have a free ebook available on Easy Lenormand Card Meanings and Combinations. Follow and subscribe at magentaschoolofmagick for all our amazing, and free, content.

**We apologise for the poor camera work and sound. We hadn't noticed the camera positioning was not quite right and the microphone had failed until after and because we bulk record, this has impacted a few of our episodes this season** We open our show eventually after several bouts of laughter over the tragic tale of a hard-up performing seal falling on hard times. But of course, this is not what a magick seal is. In this episode we talk about what magick seals and sigils are, where we see these used in TV and movies and a little bit about their origins. We call upon cult TV show Supernatural to demonstrate pop culture's reliance on old magickal seals and hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will have a bit more knowledge and an idea of how to use magick seals in a real world magickal context. We have an article on magick seals and using planetary squares that further describes today’s topic. Follow and subscribe at magentaschoolofmagick for all our amazing, and free, content.

**We apologise for the poor camera work and sound. We hadn't noticed the camera positioning was not quite right and the microphone had failed until after and because we bulk record, this has impacted a few of our episodes this season** We open our show by leading ourselves through a very short meditation that quickly disintegrates into our usual nonsense, but there is a valid point to meditation even if it is slightly scoffed at. In this episode we talk about the point of meditation and how sports personalities and business executives seem to have cornered the “meditation is serious” aspect, potentially leaving magickal practitioners with the “but in magick it's just silly” aspect. We lean on pop culture, Star Trek Voyager this time, as well as Rugby to illustrate our points. Hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will be able to recognise that meditation has practical applications, widely used by other industries, and that it’s really no different when used in a magickal context. We have an article on the point of meditation and how visualisation can be used to achieve goals that further describes today’s topic.

We open our show shoe-horning another pop culture reference into it. Now, this is a long walk for a short drink, as we point out in the opener…it’s difficult to find references in pop culture to a concept not widely known about. We manage to find one from Star Trek The Next Generation and Star Trek Picard in the form of Empath and Ship's Counsellor, Deanna Troi. If listeners want to skip all this, just scroll ahead to about four and half minutes in. In this episode we talk about Humanistic Magick. A philosophy we have aligned our magickal workings to here at Magenta. We talk about Humanistic counselling concepts from Maslow, Carl Rogers and Fritz and Laura Perls, and how we overlay those in magickal practise. We also talk a little bit about the work we do, and what website subscribers can look forward to receiving every week.   Hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will have more knowledge about how our magickal philosophy works, alongside the magickal art and astral rules we follow. We have an article on Humanistic Magick, Finding Inner Peace, Using Maslow in Magick, covering today’s topic. Follow and subscribe at magentaschoolofmagick for all our amazing, and free, content.

We open our show rather abruptly. Our capacity to transition our viewers and listeners gently into the show, by way of a cold opener has escaped us this time round. So there’s very little pointless banter, other than everything in the show itself of course 🙂 In this episode we talk about various methods of divination, how they are represented in pop culture and how even muggles can learn how to divine the “hidden knowledge” with a bit of effort and patience. Using examples from Original Charmed, hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will know which of the major clairs they are naturally better at and know more about how other tools can be used for divination. Spoilers….yes, even using a pendulum can be used for finding your lost property. But check your coat pockets first. We have an article covering the major clairs and other methods of divination on our website.  Follow and subscribe at magentaschoolofmagick for all our amazing, and free, content.

We open our third season talking about the football club St Pauli On Sea, and the football shirts owned and loved by us here at Magenta School of Magick. Obviously this has nothing to do with using magick for personal gain, we eventually get into the show at about 5 minutes in for anyone who wants to fast forward through the welcoming banter. In this episode we talk about using magick for personal gain and how Hollywood has us believing that if we do, it’s generally a bad thing. Using examples from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Craft, the Marvel universe of TV shows and films and Original Charmed, we challenge that view and generally have a laugh at how everything anyone is usually doing is for personal gain reasons. We also talk a little bit about binding spells, and have a tale of caution (or a tale about a lucky windfall, depending on your perspective) when using magick to bind yourself to people and things.  Hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will feel assured that magick can be practised to achieve personal goals. We have an article covering today’s topic and an article on the ethics of binding on our website. Follow and subscribe at magentaschoolofmagick for all our amazing, and free, content.

Season 3 of That Magick Podcast starts on the 18th of March 2022, 12pm GMT. For season 3 we take a turn for the slightly bonkers as our unscripted discussions about magick take us down many side chats and fits of the giggles. During this 8 episode run, we'll be talking about magick for personal gain, divination, the fact Lenormand never gets a look in for movies and TV, when compared to Tarot plus more really great topics. We overlay pop culture, sports and business into our episodes to ensure magick is accessible to everyone. If you haven't subscribed to our website yet - please check it out magentaschoolofmagick.com.

This is the finale of Season 2! We open our show slightly worried about the complicated nature of astral magick, the timing and what’s on the watchlist of TV shows this weekend. In this episode we unpack the very basic basics of astral magick. That the characteristics of the planets come from astrology, what the House system means and what bits and pieces to pull together when timing spell casting for the best possible outcome. Hopefully by the end of this episode listeners will have an understanding of what astral magick is and a little of how it works. We have an article covering off the four main takeaways about astral magick and links to some of our favourite apps (to help with working out the maths) on our website.

We open our show talking about the fact Disney owns everything, is responsible for all the stories that ever existed…especially the made up ones on a certain News network. In this episode we explore whether magick is evil and depending on certain perspectives, whether pop-culture has encouraged the belief that actually it’s witches that are evil. We try to challenge this view point by taking you back in time, dear listeners, to the moment when it was decreed that magick was bad. Hopefully by the end of this episode, and armed with new knowledge, listeners will have an understanding of where this perspective comes from and begin to challenge any lingering fears around the villainous nature of magick (or witches!) We have an article asking whether magick is evil on our website. Follow and subscribe at magentaschoolofmagick for all our amazing, and free, content.

We open our show talking about our outfits, the football/pop culture memorabilia (or Bric a Brac as it’s also known) scattered about the studio we record in and whether female sport gets enough time on the telly. BUT this is a magick podcast, promise, so if you wanna skip all that...the real start is about 7 minutes in! In this episode we explore how and why magick works from the perspective of employing techniques used by athletes and entrepreneurs. We talk a lot about The Secret and Law of Attraction. More from the angle that, whilst our magick might look like this…we’re not trying to advocate for The Secret or suggesting that the Law of Attraction works or doesn't work. Hopefully by the end of this episode, listeners will have an understanding of how and why magick works and how to spot when results show up. Perhaps even feel reinvigorated when results show up!

We open our show with an entire episode summary, so if you only have time for one minute of That Magick Podcast it’s right here in the cold opener.  But for those who have more time to look behind the veil of this festival, we get into a potted history from the perspective of the Celtic peoples and the origins of Halloween. Hopefully by the end of the episode, you'll have a couple of ideas for how to celebrate this festival (other than knocking of strangers' doors and asking for food that is). Maybe you'll feel inspired to do a new year reading for yourself. If so, we have some tips here on doing a 13 card New Year spread from Season One’s The One About Beltane or Samhain.

We open our show reflecting on our experiences of Covid and how we are feeling now, post(ish) recovery, how we’re struggling with energy levels and ‘covid brain’. Although for at least one of us, the perimenopause and covid brain are getting harder to separate. In this episode we explore the difficult issue of gatekeeping in magick, cultural appropriation and something we refer to as ‘key mastery’. As white people, we aim to look at things from the perspective of the people who are actually impacted by some of the issues we talk about in today’s episode. Hopefully by the end listeners will have an understanding of this difficult issue, why it is complicated, perhaps feel inspired to look at the way western magick is practised and maybe undertake a bit of research to learn about its history. We are supporters, and we do accept our very limited lived experiences. We are absolutely not experts. Where we’ve got things wrong we’d love to hear from our listeners on this topic so we can learn, and be better supporters. We have an article about key mastery on our website and an article on whether western magick is culturally appropriated. We also talk about the Simpsons and we mention Homer joining the Stonemasons. Of course, he did not join the Stonemasons. He joined the Stonecutters…how could we forget?! Let’s just say it’s covid brain.

We open our show explaining that the "not quite tarot cards" hanging in the back of our set is one of the oldest tarot decks (for podcast listeners, we are referring to a collection of Sola Busca cards that we have framed in the background when we film the Vodcast versions of That Magick Podcast) As ever, in this episode we draw heavily from pop culture as we try to explain why James Bond was just wrong on so many levels, tarot interpretation being one of the things he got wrong. Hopefully by the end of episode you'll know how to use tarot for personal development. Perhaps you'll feel inspired to bring tarot into the board room or maybe use tarot within a counselling context.

We open our show trying to give some instructions about working on camera to our co-host. It doesn’t work. So we have another video episode where one of us is better shot than the other. We accept our shortcomings and accept that we’re a work in progress. We do eventually crack it, so just bear with us. In this episode we’re talking about what some the different types of magick there are. Hopefully by the end of the episode you will know a bit more about what all the magickal words, terms, definitions, names etc mean. Maybe you'll be inspired to research a little bit, using some of these words or perhaps just feel assured that the kind of magick you practice isn't wrong, or weird.

We open our show welcoming our new co-host! Having appeared in many a cold opener in Season 1, Someone is now stepping into the light to co-host the show, smiling and nodding the whole time bringing his unique style to try and make the show a bit more highbrow. Spoilers. It’s not, and now carries an Explicit so there we are. In this episode we’re talking about grimoires. By the end of the episode, you should hopefully know a little more about what they are, a little potted history about where some of favourite grimoires came from. We also talk about how grimoires, and magick, show up in pop culture. Feel free to check out our articles as these provide more context to the topic. These articles list out the grimoires we love, and the ones that are a bit dumb. Hopefully, you will feel inspired to buy some of these amazing texts! One of our favourite grimoires is the Picatrix. We would invite you all to check it out. We bought our copy from these guys. We're not affiliated with any of the editors of these works, we don't get a commission from talking about these books. We're just pointing you all in the direction of where to go, ya know...to be helpful :)  We apologise for the quality of the video for those watching the vodcast, our first camera let us down so we had to rely on the back-up camera which, as you can see, is entirely rubbish. But we DO get better at pressing the right buttons and remembering we are on camera as the season progresses. Just bear with us for the first one!

Season 2 of That Magick Podcast starts on the 3rd Sept 2022, 12pm GMT. For season 2 we now have a (reluctant) co-host. But as we point out throughout Season 2, we just can't do any of it without his support. During this 8 episode run, we'll be talking about Grimoires, magickal definitions, using tarot for personal development.
