  • 103 When you’re scared of hearing and sensing things
    Mar 8 2026

    A primer designed especially for those who are easily scared with regards their third eye experiences, or want longer explanations to how extra-sensory senses work. For folks who have sudden access/energies to sounds, sights, feelings while also going through enormous in-real-life transformations, decoding and managing messages can feel daunting. In this primer we go through techniques and specific cases to be able to work with your senses in a more manageable way. This ep is in collaboration with @noreen who reminded me quite efficiently how daunting it is to be new to all of this.

    On a personal note, I also feel strongly about younger folks who feel ostracized and tortured about the things they see/hear. If you know anyone like this, I hope this episode can be conveniently forwarded to them as this was recorded specifically for their experience.


    Covers:

    • first off: our expectations, beliefs, assumptions color our experience
    • how do you filter information? randoms vs appropriate
    • intention while opening, and clear closing sequences
    • layers of intimacy/privacy
    • smaller spirits are more “mischievous”? why?
    • regional/land specific spirits
    • boundaries to your body, house, larger environments
    • spirits’ stories seek rectification/closure


    ——
PS: i’ll see if i can forward this to all the tiktok peeps who really seem scared of this/ maybe post a tagalog version

  • 102 How to make POWER PLACES and wonderful considerations
    Feb 23 2026

    Power places is common technique across many indigenous cultures, speaking the psychological truth of how spirit roots us into places and structures that support our being. If you find that you need language that helps you converse with your soul, for your soul-bone-tired body to penetrate a deeper kind of rest, or you simply want a more creative, symbolic and organic way of relating to wisdom of Life and your Being then this is the place.


    I’m surprised I haven’t made an episode on this so I got to really stitching together the techniques and considerations of how one can find and co-create their power places. This practice can solve so many problems: whether it’s feeling oversensitive all the time, or if your soul longs for a place that feels far away/not here. This is a dense episode so I hope that the ideas are listened to in full and it would also also! actually be cool if one listened to this while tending to a physical or psychological space! Key terms - why work with powerplaces?

    basic transitions, innate energies

    playing sims, traveling and attuning to different energies

    the everyday x intermeshing with shifting places

    leveraging inner vision, regardless of psychic competency, the physical body anchoring to a sensation

    collective places, gates/locks in places, domesticating space

    intentions in communication

    where to start? Your Heart. —— Let’s help each other!

  • 101 TRUTH IN SHIFTS while/in TRANSFORMATION with EIREN
    Feb 17 2026

    Following up our centennial cast with a special guest Eiren of @thetempleofmirrors, where we talk about the specific magick of mirrors and the crossroads. Many might feel like the terms “shadow work” “mirrorwork” and “listening to our inner truth” are overplayed statements, but there is power in simple and lived examples. If you feel like you need a companion (karamay, katuwang) through the depths of the recent transformations that could be full of questions and the sense of feeling lost in the liminal space of change, then this is the episode for you.


    Personally I find eiren’s voice here a refreshingly simple at payak in approach and clarity with regards to shepherding the Self through it’s many changes. I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did! PS: this episode is significantly in taglish covers:
- ereshkigal, queen of the underworld guiding the establishment of the temple of mirrors

    walking into the world naked, unfettered truth of what is still true for you?

    grieving projects/selves we invested so much time on

    what builds your foundation?

    how does one discern truth when you’ve doubted it?

    what if something feels true but also doesn’t feel light? what if I lived with doubt? shadowwork

    would you love her(the dream) and yourself(the shift) through her ugly and bad days?

    you know what you want (1) what’s the worse that can happen? spelling out fears

    Eiren’s fear of being visible Maria’s fear of The Factory

    You become what you fear most, mirror-work

    gaslight girlboss of projection and having no other choice but to love the worst

    compass of your heart. hunter vis a vis the garden

    inevitable polarity, being open to change in seasons in self and others ——

  • 100 READ THROUGH: To Sleep in the Treebanks of Ancestors
    Feb 10 2026

    Hello so this is the last podcast before the start of the Lunar New Year, and just like we needed here are: Roots. This is a very potent, read out loud instructionals to a simple game about drawing and re-telling the tales of your family tree. For lyrical, soul-level-mytho-poetic games, I really think there’s a magick of being read aloud to, like having a grandma or someone simply older than you telling you a good old story. I hope that even if you don’t come to play this game, that the reading of it feels comforting like a grassy forrest you wander around until you find bravery to pick up your own voice or pen.

    The printed out game is quite helpful for layouting or making little tents:

  • 99 READ THROUGH: Transmorfigation a lyrical shapeshifter’s tale of changing bodies
    Jan 26 2026

    Hello so this is another read through of this time a more recent game, a lyrical almost DIY slammed poetry list of how to shapeshift or — TRANSMORFIGY. This is for all the folks who enjoy pulling out litanies of stories ( or maybe horrors ) from their own bodies and really testing and experimenting, with how the things in our bodies exit or talk. This is quite image dense so I do recommend downloading the game to read along! so you can highlight or maybe type out comments on a mad mad pdf.

  • 98 READ THROUGH: Tower of Heaven 2 of 2
    Jan 13 2026

    We’re continuing where we left off from the last podcast and having a straight read through of the RPG Tower of Heaven, a circa 2020 game about an ex-angel breaking into heaven about an ex-love. If you’ve ever loved supernatural stories that are cozy and at the same time heart wrenching, then this game and it’s prompts will be perfect for you! Sometimes we do need the realms of story and fictions to expound on what we feel, through borrow paints, and timelines expanded.


    This is direct read of the instructions of the game and i do read all 78 rooms of tower of heaven, each one a reinterpreted scape of the classical tarot deck. Feel free to pause at any parts/rooms that you like or even randomly shuffle through the audio. I hope you enjoy the Worlds I built back in 2020 as much as I do.

    This is part 2 of 2, of a coupled episode where the first episode is a sample playthrough of the game, where I play out the story of Kenneth.

  • 97 PLAY THROUGH: Tower of Heaven 1 of 2
    Jan 6 2026

    A new format for the new year! In this episode Maria plays through an old RPG game they wrote in 2020 about an ex-angel breaking into heaven about an ex-love. A story of liminality and symbol, we explore the space of Stories (a general one or a particular one) and how it can activate the untouched rooms of our psyche.


    This is part 1 of 2, of a coupled episode where the second episode will be a read through of all 78 rooms of tower of heaven, each one a reinterpreted scape of the classical tarot deck.


    For this play through, I tell the story of Kenneth a being of particular restriction and regret.

  • 96 How to Listen to Your Intuition: Differentiating from Overthinking
    Dec 26 2025

    A relatively short but important podcast! In this episode we pick apart the different nature (or even orientation) of listening to Intuition versus Overthinking. For many, accessing the many depths and spiritual intelligences inside of us feels overly magickal, miraculous when it can surely be everyday, lived and embodied. In this episode, we walk through the capacities to discern but also drop into the well of intuition inside of us, a sure web and compass from our Soul and how to increasingly grow momentum and trust with it.
