EP 22: When Spring Festival (aka Chinese New Year) is arriving

Chinese New Year arrives in January this year, about ten days before Imbolc. Here are 3 ways to welcome it in an everyday, low-key manner. Since January to me should still be a time of slowness, and Chinese New Year is a bustling, cheerful time, I’m viewing it as my time point to get up and back into the world.

EP 19: When you find self acceptance in nature (birthday episode!)

Even in the best hero’s journey, there’s magic and there’s sorrow, there’s mistakes and downfalls. Happy or unhappy, successful or unsuccessful - it has nothing to do with whether life is magical or not. I can believe my life is good regardless.

EP 13: when the beauty of nature can satisfy your belly

EP 12: When you find yourself in a stinky public bathroom

Thanks for joining my musings on the public bathroom experience: something unpleasant but also forgettable; very self-centered but also one of the most universal. Get spiritual readings, arts, and thoughts at: http://MelissaShineHuang.com

EP 10: When you can't own or use many magical tools

Tools, things, and spells may not work for or appeal to us all the time. I went from cannot own to not wanting to own through the natural process of adapting to life. The important thing is to acknowledge what you already have within you, and give them their power.  A good resource is the Anatomy of the Witch book or deck by Laura Tempest Zakroff (which I haven't yet read, and just learned about at the time of recording.)

EP8: When you’re downsizing and getting rid of things

Our podcast is now under 9 minutes slice-of-life about how paganism nourishes us in magickal yet grounding ways. Fun detail about giving away my couch: The person picking it up said that the specific IKEA model worked so well for their family that each time they moved, they searched if that one was available second-hand in the community. He came with a big smile, and left me with one, too. Shoot me a voice message at: https://anchor.fm/naturespirituality Find out more about me at: http://MelissaShineHuang.com
