We have an another amazing chat with Rose Inserra for you in this episode. If you missed episode 125 with Rose it’s a good idea to go back and listen to that one first.

Rose Inserra has literally written the book on Italian folk magic, dream interpretation and more, as well as being an author, she is an experienced Malocchio healer. In this episode she shared her knowledge about dream interpretation. And as this episode is coming to you on the Feast of the Epiphany we also chatted about the legend of La Befana.

Make sure you listen to the end to hear Rose’s advice on some simple things you can do to bring positivity into your 2026.
