Speaker
I always laugh because I say it and I'm like the only one in the band that's never had a nine to five. Every time I hear you sing it, I go, did she ever do this? One time. But that means I hate it. I've never done it. You hate it so much. What's like the most meaningful thing? I hate nine to five. Run away.

Maz's Witchcraft Journey
00:04:13
Speaker
We need to start it off with your checkered past with witchcraft.
00:04:19
Speaker
Tell us your history. How'd you got into it? What you like currently like? ah yeah How did I get into it? What was your first witchy moment? well weird yeah like Weirdly, my parents were never super religious.
00:04:34
Speaker
I say weirdly because they're I'm Italian, so you'd think they would be. My dad was probably more into church, really, than my mom growing up. Yes, and Michi and Maz are both Italian witches. That's yeah that' important. that's important but Yes, and like I never got it. I would go to church to like sing with my dad. That's why I went. It didn't make sense to me. and i was like This is BS, none of this is speaking to me. I like went on like journey. Some of these songs are bangers though. Yeah, that's some good Some good tunes. But yeah, I don't know, i I like at a young age, I wanted to like, so I went into religious studies and wanted to learn all about all different kinds of religions. Yeah. I studied Judaism, I studied like all everything and like none of it. clicked for me and I came across like wicca and I was like, this makes more sense to me than anything else. It does. It still doesn't all make makes sense to me. Like I don't, there's things that don't click, but I just take what I want from it, I guess. Yeah. And went that way. And my weirdly also my brother got into it, my oldest brother, and it was like, you know, the nineties and then the craft came out and then like, I was sold.
00:05:45
Speaker
I wanted to be in the craft, you know? Hell yeah. I don't know. Just like always, my family always had a lot of superstitions that... Yeah, which I think is also very Italian. Yeah, totally like super Italian weird things where I'm like...
00:05:59
Speaker
This seems very witchy to me. What's your favorite Italian superstition? ah Well, for my nonna, my nonna's answer to everything was one of two things. It was either olive oil or oil of oregano. Whatever but it happened. Whatever was going on.
00:06:16
Speaker
There's only two cures. Oh, you got, you got a sty in your eye. Let me just open it and shove all of the oil in there. Or like, you got a sore throat, a oil of oregano. And that actually does work. I swear to God. But yeah yeah, weird things like that always, always. Yeah. What was your like first?
Maz's Tarot Beginnings
00:06:36
Speaker
Because tarot is like your jam as well as the first thing that. When do you remember your first journey in tarot? ah Yeah, my brother, my older brother, who was also into like witchcraft, got me my first tarot deck. I was really young. I was probably in grade seven, six. No way. That's cool. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe grade five. Maybe grade five. Because my best friend, my childhood best friend was really into it, too.
00:07:03
Speaker
We would do tarot cards in the basement and then we did like element rituals and we did all kinds of shit. We had the cops called on us once because someone thought we were trying to burn down the junior high, but we were just in the field with candles, doing witch stuff. We had to run from the police and then explain to them like, no, we weren't trying to burn the school down. What are you doing? We're like, just some witchcraft officer.
00:07:27
Speaker
literally remember the cops driving me to my door at like two in the morning and my mom coming to the door in her house coat with like rollers in her hair a copping like We caught your daughter doing a witchcraft in the woods and my mom just being like, of course she was, of course.
Current Spiritual Practices
00:07:46
Speaker
So yeah, it started at a young age. And what's your like practice like currently? Currently I'm not doing enough. I should make more time for it because it always like. But you have a wand. Yeah, I have lots of shoes. You have a lots of shoes. I have an altar. You have an altar. Yeah, I like did. I got that wand.
00:08:07
Speaker
Not too long ago, I did a specific one. And it's a legit wand. You went like fatual for it. In the ravine. It was a whole ritual and spell, which was very fun. And you do spells. I do spells. Yeah. And like tarot, I probably do the most. Yeah. Um, yeah, that for me is like probably the most current thing that I do on the regular and moon phases, I guess. Like I'll do a daily like Oracle or tarot card.
00:08:36
Speaker
Just a little something every day. yeah um when When I want to do something bigger, obviously I'll set aside time and like schedule it in my calendar, depending what it is. Often I need the right moon phase or whatever, so yeah. But Tarot, I try to do more often.
Astrology and Tarot
00:08:52
Speaker
And that's your jam to meet you, right? Tarot, mostly?
00:08:55
Speaker
Yeah, for the most part. yeah I'm kind of finding myself really into astrology lately. okay I feel like you're in your astrology era. yeah that's yeah i've feel like I feel like you're leading into your astrology. That's awesome because I feel like that's something I've always lacked. Maz is a Virgo queen. So Virgo, Michi Aries, me, Gemini, suns, sun signs. What's your big three? Do you know your big three?
00:09:22
Speaker
I'm telling you, everything I know about astrology is from you. We've always said I'm a bad witch. We've definitely done this before. Because I don't get shit about astrology. And I do think we can, because I'm Gemini W Virgo. You did do my birth chart once, and I think I would lean to more Scorpio than anything. I'm Scorpio rising. Which makes so much sense, which makes so much sense. Maybe that's the problem. I was like, I never connected with my Virgo energy, really.
00:09:49
Speaker
I'm like the only one who likes scorpions. I'm just kidding. Everyone in my family is Scorpios. I'm a cusp. Sagittarius Scorpio. Yeah. and my And Rob's a Scorpio. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Rob definitely. I believe I definitely lean Sagittarius, but they're so mysterious.
00:10:11
Speaker
You'll never get the full story of the Scorpio rising. Ooh, he's got a little mystery. Yeah. He's got a little mystery. yeah So what are the big three? What is the big three? What am I? I'm a sun, sun sign on moon moon rising. yeah Okay. i'm right Go back and listen to our episode one, if you want to know what that means.
Full Moon in Leo
00:10:31
Speaker
Actually, your son is like the way that like, you present to the world. Your moon is like your inner self and like your thoughts. And your rising is like how people perceive you. Yeah, which I think is really interesting, which I really resonate with Virgo because I i feel Virgo. p Virgo, Sag Scorpio yeah and Scorpio rising. Sun Virgo Moon Sag rising, Scorp. Mm. That's interesting. That's a really good combo.
00:11:02
Speaker
Right on. Yeah, I win.
00:11:06
Speaker
ah And you get a prize. um But yeah, I feel like, and what, sorry, a refresh on your three, Michi? Aries, Sun, Capricorn, Moon, and Aquarius Rising. And Aquarius Rising. That makes so much sense.
00:11:22
Speaker
The Capricorn is like how you're like so you do so many things and you're like so good at it I feel like I feel like my PR business is and my PR business was created during Capricorn season Capricorn like yeah, I was like that's hard and how consistent you are with all of that Because like that's a lot I know
00:11:47
Speaker
You're like, I do it. I don't know how. has it yeah I'm going to, I'm going to take and a nice guess that it is my earth, ah my earth moon. and yeah Okay. Well, I was going to start this off with, let's talk, let me, we'll talk about the full moon now and we'll do readings after. Yeah. Okay. Cause we have, cause this comes out on the 11th, I believe. And the full moon, I think cycle starts on the 12th. Yeah.
00:12:16
Speaker
Yeah. So, and it is a snow moon. So the name snow moon comes from the deep snows that often blanket the Northern hemisphere in February. The moon invites us to embrace the quiet and introspection of the season, aligning with nature's slower pace, the time for purification, planning, and preparing for the growth of spring. um Astrologically, the full moon in February, 2025 will be in Leo.
00:12:38
Speaker
sign of creativity, courage, and self is-expression. This placement amplifies themes of personal empowerment, asking us to shine brightly and unapologetically in our motherfucking authenticity, it's important to balance Leo's fiery confidence with a dose of humility.
00:12:56
Speaker
but Motherfucking humility. OK, well, i OK, call me out, but all right. OK. Does that resonate with either of you?
00:13:11
Speaker
I mean, I feel like I've definitely been hibernating under the snow. Yeah,
00:13:20
Speaker
yeah we're ah currently like actually in Edmonton and under a lot of snow right now. It says very snowy Leo's is also the sign of childhood in place. so This full moon is calling you to connect with your inner child. Let go of things that you cannot control. Have fun and to just love your life and yourself for the absolute magical beings that you are. There's so much life to be lived and Leo shows us how to step into our power and create our own magic. That's nice. nice that's nice then You know what's also cool about this right now, like we're we're here, we're talking the last time that the full moon was in Leo was in May of 2024 when we did live wie with you with Majee.
00:13:58
Speaker
Well, that's pretty crazy. I forgot about live Ouija. That's fun. Yeah. Holy balance. That's crazy. That's actually nuts. Yeah. This always, and it's really weird. Me and I always hang out with Maz close to a moon, like always. Yeah. yeah theres where Anytime we like hang out. Every time we're always like the fucking moon. Well, that's why. That's why this is happening to us. Yeah. Yeah. um Let's talk about Kaylee's question.
Women and Astrology: Why?
00:14:24
Speaker
So Kaylee, otherwise known as Kaymoy, artistically asked us in our Discord, checkered past Discord. Check her head Patreon. Ask why are girls specifically so into astrology? um And I think that's like an interesting thing because we're girls.
00:14:46
Speaker
I think that's just an interesting thing to discuss because I do think like that's kind of the discourse is like a lot of dudes are very against it and Women just do seem to be more into it. So um I want us all to have a chance to have a whatever point in it I was just looking up random things about it Reddit always I've always read it. the source Which is which is versus patriarchy. Oh, yeah. i love age i are Which is be patriarchy. um So this kind of resonates like there's like but exposure are from a young age due to like horoscopes being in magazines targeted towards girls. For sure. I remember. Yeah. Always reading your horoscope and like I am and shit totally like like i I don't think that's only it.
00:15:29
Speaker
American girl, whatever the magazines are. Yeah, right. Like that. I think that is partially true. um But I do think there's like more interesting things to be said. So accomplished underscore mix 7827 two years ago on. but sign up to the checker had just go yeah Or just be on Reddit two years ago. No, no, no. It's more exclusive. um I would think that's okay, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:02
Speaker
So I guess why why women are more likely to be attracted to Wicca and New Age stuff. The desire for meaning and supernatural explanations for the world is still present, but generally the more stock traditional religions put in the supernatural, the more hostile they are to women. It's a way to get the soothing answers of an orderly world without being treated like a dog because of what's in between your legs. ah so like A lot of religions are oppressive to women. And as a human, we have like a want and need for spirituality.
00:16:31
Speaker
So this feels like a safer space to express our spirituality. Safe until you're burnt at the stake. But by the men. Excellent point. But no, i I do think, I think it stems from, you know, like everyone says, women's it to intuition is a thing as well. And maybe it stems from that, just like trust your this feeling, trust, gut feeling, your need to want to know more about that.
00:16:59
Speaker
Maybe. Yeah. I don't know. And I want Michi take the floor. You have ah important, important news and important ah perspectives.
Joining the Constellation Club
00:17:08
Speaker
Important news. So I joined a coven. Let him sound effect there, Joey. Shout out to the Constellation Club. but um They are, um I found out about them through Instagram memes.
00:17:29
Speaker
thats what a better way um Hey, that's how I got my ADHD diagnosis. but And um so it's led by a celebrity astrologer. Her name is Eliza Kelly. um She is an author. And I happened to go to an event that was at the Amityville Apothecary, which is my favorite ah metaphysical store, bookstore in my area. So like she was just doing a book reading. So I was like, I'm going to go. And yeah while I was there, I met a bunch of witches from New York City and Long Island. and
00:18:05
Speaker
They were chatting about the Constellation Club and I was like, the what? And then like they're like, you should join. And and I was like, a cult? I'm in. I got to go to my first coven meeting on the new moon and it was really super awesome. but um In this like past month, Eliza just created a YouTube.
00:18:29
Speaker
for her for her brand as an astrologer and just overall witch. And in her for very first episode episode, I guess very first YouTube video, she made it about like, is astrology real? And she talked a lot about how like her main demographic like and the work that she does doing readings and doing tarot readings too are mostly women and how like men tend to be more skeptical of but of
Menstruation and Moon Connection
00:19:00
Speaker
witchcraft. of yeah you know Whereas I was thinking about it separate from things that Eliza said, I feel like um astrology, the moon, the things that guide us in witchcraft are very much cyclical.
00:19:15
Speaker
but also the moon and our body is yeah, like literally are like made of water made of water and are made of like water ive I usually bleed with the full moon. Like it's not, it's crazy. It is crazy being a lady you sync up with the moon. It's wild. Yeah.
00:19:31
Speaker
And that is why, partially, that I believe that women and people who menstruate, we have really no choice but to be in tune. People who are menstruating, we have to keep track of these cycles. And it's like, I feel like those patterns and those cycles. There are people who menstruate that aren't women. And we know how powerful that cycles are and can be. We're literally physically connected to the moon, physically. So it seems natural.
00:20:00
Speaker
Yeah, yeah and i think I think a lot of it is just we we have to pay attention to patterns and cycles, maybe perhaps more than men do.
Skepticism and Spirituality
00:20:09
Speaker
all right And also I just think overall, I think men have a lot more skeptical views of the world. Yeah, that's fair. the Even just like how they're raised. There's nothing wrong with being a skeptical person and, you know, really trying to be curious and understand, you know, all these different things, but it's one that comes with a judgment. Like, yeah, that's, that's the problem. Yeah. And that i was like the main, the main, the main like, uh, I guess meal of her YouTube video was basically saying like,
00:20:41
Speaker
Is astrology any less real than meditating or yoga or anything that we do to take care of ourselves? yeah you know And things are all abstract. You can't you can't explain them. and yeah Men like concrete things. And so i is yeah feminized things are seen as less than so often as well, just in general. And it seemed like anything like girly or feminine is just like, oh, that's dumb. That's like that doesn't make like whatever. It's just very like, oh, that's stupid. but I mean, honestly, even like manicures, pedicures, facials, like it's self care. Yeah. But like.
00:21:15
Speaker
I remember the first time I convinced my husband to come with me and get a pedicure and he's like, what have I been doing with my life? I like you know joey for yeah i got to take care. He wants a facial next. I'm like, fuck yeah, let's go. But that's about a money you could spend. Right. I regardless, but it is sort of like trivialized in a way, you know, like as just being a silly feminine luxury. I don't, I don't know.
00:21:41
Speaker
No, for sure.
Women's Historical Healing Role
00:21:42
Speaker
There's a, um, comerarius two years ago on Reddit. It's like women ah hit shout out. Women are the ones historically associated with being healers and doctors back in the day. Uh, that involved a lot of folk beliefs, including witchcraft and the belief in supernatural astrology. Just one form of such beliefs and was thus typically passed down from mother to daughter. Um, so I think that's legit.
00:22:09
Speaker
i yeah I think that's a legit ass, another legit
Pandemic's Impact on Astrology
00:22:14
Speaker
ass reason. So they're kind of crazy that there's like several like legit reasons for this. Like I find, I just find it really interesting. Like hereditary, baby. Like, I mean, who's the first person to...
00:22:25
Speaker
all for healing is probably anyone's mother or something. Yeah. Totally. It's like a nurturing, um, maternal, I do think there was like feminine thing, maybe I don't know. I think pandemic, like a lot more people got into astrology because people were like, had time and like searching for meaning. And then I think there was like a clap back from like men on the internet being like, well, what is this girl into astrology?
Astrology in Pop Culture
00:22:48
Speaker
Like, but like there's a lot, there's a lot of that out there. I feel like that's been a pretty,
00:22:54
Speaker
You look like a pretty consistent thing in pop culture, though. Like, I remember still, like, sitcoms in the 90s. It was the exact same joke. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's I don't think that's ever gone away. Yeah, that's good. It's been in there. Yeah. Yeah. I think I was going to do an astrology update, but I'm not going to. I think like the moon stuff is interesting enough. OK, we'll be back with more Ouija with Vinci.
00:23:28
Speaker
Welcome back to Weechie with Meechie. We are just getting started with some tarot readings. Maz is going to do a reading for the band, ah but she had a interesting story during the break about sneaking into a history of an occult class. Yeah. Well, Meechie asked um because I have a collection of tarot cards that I get. I try to get like a deck every time I travel. And um when I was younger, I snuck into a night course at the U of A.
00:23:58
Speaker
That was history of the occult. And apparently it's quite largely argued what the very first tarot deck was. It was either an Italian deck called the Visconti deck or a French deck. And I can't remember the name of the French one. Cause I naturally was like, well, it's the Italian one. So i I sought out that particular deck when I was in Italy to get it. And I have it.
00:24:27
Speaker
It's like obviously ah ah like a printed version because they were like clay tiles. That's cool. Yeah. Like this is how old we're talking. And then so it's like a fresco and lots of chunks have fallen off, but it's still like the original imagery of what's left of it. It's very fucking cool. And it's like, you can see how like modern day playing cards evolved from tarot decks. Yeah. Cause tarot decks work. I know. I love that that cards are like witchy.
00:24:55
Speaker
Yeah, like spades or swords and yeah clubs or wands and yeah. So it's interesting because they they do line up, but yeah. So we are doing a Celtic cross. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to do a Celtic cross and you're going to make famous by the card Marvel show. I pick, I pick how many. i all ah Marvel show. 10. I guess all along. That's the, that's just ten the terrible. pull They yeah ten i keep them in the order that you pick them. Oh yeah. Yeah. They do do that in that episode. Yeah. And that is, that is unequivocally a fantastic episode of television.
00:25:31
Speaker
It's very good. I love that one. Yeah. Think about your question while you're picking these. Yeah.
00:25:55
Speaker
che lot of card picking going on I'm like trying to get sneaky ones, not just the obvious ones. The ones that call to you? Una mas. Una mas. Okay, well, I went for it, so I gotta go. Yeah, you gotta go. I gotta go with my first instinct. Oh yeah, the cards have been chosen. Alright.
00:26:14
Speaker
what's What is the, what is in store for femme voyeur? What is in store for femme voyeur? I'm so excited. yeah Okay, ah the so the first position is the situation inner and outer in which we find ourselves at present.
00:26:33
Speaker
Two of cups. What the fuck does that mean? What the fuck does that mean? That's an emotional, I have to use the book. I don't know what they all mean girl. We're baby witches. We're baby witches. There's like a couple I unmemorized, you know? That makes sense. Like it's the beginning of a suit. It's cute. Starting out and you're making new relationships with other bands and starting to get in tune with our emotions. Cause that's cups for us. Actually, yeah. Let's read it. We are. Let's see what this says.
00:27:02
Speaker
okay The beginning of a relationship. ah Reconciliation of an existing rush relationship that has maybe undergone difficulty or separation. It can even imply the meeting and contractual arrangements of business partners. Okay, Tarot is real. Tarot is real, everyone. Tarot is real. That's our plan. By the time this comes out, we won't have like an actual... like of announcement yet, but you're going to be sharing your record contract. So yeah, yeah contract, contract, contract. can
00:27:38
Speaker
ah special exciting announcements ahead. Where's this guy? Okay, so the next card is the situation that is currently crossing us. Oh oh my god, a judgment. It's the whole. Everybody be judging us. That's crazy. Probably. i know but Fucking haters. You know what I'm saying? yeah Probably. that's Probably. yeah Probably.
00:28:05
Speaker
Where is this guy? Judgment and judgment is like those cards are what are they called? Like the main guys? What are they called? Major arcana. He's a main guy. He's got main character energy. He's like one of the Avengers, right? He's one of the main guys. I'm sorry, you're going to have to edit this right now. Oh, and here we go. Will I find them all? Okay. So the judgment card August at time,
00:28:31
Speaker
when the rewards of past efforts appear. There's a period of summoning up, of realization of what we've been doing. damn And where ourselves where we have created the future which now awaits us. because we have been really spending a year we're all an year and now yeah we and we like just started doing shows too so like that's just the beginning look at that so we've created the future that now awaits us it's ambiguous however it can of it can imply a disturbing confrontation with all of our own evasions and self-betrayals
00:29:02
Speaker
Evasions and self betrayals. The reward is not always a pleasant one. but The reward isn't always a pleasant one. Yeah. um it may be though it it it But this is what's crossing us. This is currently what is crossing us. This is what we're fighting our own judgments. Insecurities and like also putting ourselves. This is our judgment. Because I sometimes have a hard time putting myself out there. I actually don't think this is other people judging us. This is us judging us. I think a hundred percent. We're just scared with babies. I really like this about the judgment card. There's like the angel Gabriel at the top blowing the horn and stuff. Like you're you're being called to you're you're being called to do the thing. We're being called to you trying do the thing.
00:29:47
Speaker
Okay. Okay. So the next card is similar, but it's what's hanging over our heads currently. Not, maybe not necessarily crossing us, but what's hanging over our heads and it's the king of one king king. Oh my God. What does that mean? my guy What is your interpretation? I have to tell you this. So in my deck, I have some people in my life that are assigned to cards and that card is Chris.
00:30:23
Speaker
Fucking Chris hanging over her head. In the background on a WhatsApp chat. Oh, that's why it's so smelly. Sort of damn, Chris. That is so interesting though. Okay, that's crazy. dang That's so funny. I'm going to read it. A dangly Chris, blooming, blooming, the scabadook, blooming over us. But also like the wands. Like it it's it makes sense. It'll make sense when you read it. Is he wandy? I wouldn't know. It says that it's time to meet an ambivalent intellectual leader. Chris.
00:31:00
Speaker
He's kind of inside of every but lie is in strategy. he is You guys have been strategizing. like you there Sorry, is that better? yeah Was I too close? i'm ran for Oh, I'm really used to like being on the microphone. Get in there. Sorry. All right. um Yeah.
00:31:20
Speaker
Uh, strategy. That's what I said. Intellectual prowess, inspiring ideas about how to develop things in the future. That's literally what we've been messaging about. That's literally what we've been messaging about. This is why is real hero cards they blow my fucking mind every time I do this.
00:31:37
Speaker
It blows your mind. But it also like tells you things you already knew. Yeah. You know? Like it never really. It's a confirmation. Yeah. And so that's very interesting. I i don't think I need to read anymore. That's that's fucking nuts. That is fucking nuts. But then we're on the right path and we're doing the right thing by listening to the advice that we've been given. Yeah. Which I feel like is very confirming.
00:31:59
Speaker
So this next card often comes as a surprise to the reader. It is the base of the matter. So what you don't really think is driving things. This is what is at the base of the matter. And oh my god it's a Pentacles card, which usually means money, which is funny. I'm in it for the dollar. That's true. 10 of Pentacles. For the for them your mental health.
00:32:23
Speaker
Maybe I, what if I'm secretly in it for the money? You're in the wrong band. I made 60 bucks so far. I've spent, I spent that on walkie talkies for the video. I have a lifestyle now that I need to maintain my $60. I spent more than that on the Nerf guns and walkie talkies for the last video.
00:32:43
Speaker
sneak peek for the last video. All right. It says the suggested period of ongoing contentment and security and sense of something permanent having been established, which can be handed onto others. This may be material inheritance of wealth property, or it may be an artistic achievement, such as a book painting or album. Whoa. That's wild. Okay. So what do you, what do you think? That is the base of the matter. Don't we all want to do something creative? We want, we want to have something like physical. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Physical album. Yeah.
00:33:12
Speaker
And we want this to be a thing for a while. It is a creative achievement. And we want it to last. We do. That's true. I guess for me, for real though, it's something to be proud of. Yeah. It's something you can make a wish band. I did this. Because I was like, I really want to be in a band one day. She's like a bucket list thing. She was like, with our guitar player, producer Martin. She's like, well, do you want to do a song? Like me and Martin do songs. You want to do a song? We did speed drive by Charlie XCX as a cover. And then like, that's literally how femme came to be. Totally. So my make a wish band. I always wanted to do this. And I'm like, well, let's fucking do it then. Done. Hell yeah. And then they booked a show and they needed a bass player. And I was like, well,
00:33:55
Speaker
i guess i'm learned to be We put it we put like a all very organic we put a whole like ad out there of like Looking for a rhythm section and then it just ended up being massive brother and my boyfriend It's actually just get a spot set then so sorry It was last we didn't mean it to be that real but anyway you didn't say it that way We didn't have to be that way. We didn't but sorry to everyone who messaged us. I'm sorry for the It wasn't a lie, it just... We didn't know. It just happened. Well, I didn't really want to be in a band with Joey, but we don't fight at all, so it's fine.
00:34:32
Speaker
Nobody wants to be in a band, Joey. I do want to be in a band with you, but I was like, oh, a couple in a band. That's weird for people. In my experience, it's been terrible until right now. and see what yes It is weird for people. So don't fight. Yes, it's weird for people. So I was like, OK, well, I don't want to make it weird. But like it has it has been bad for me historically.
00:34:53
Speaker
But now? Not now. That's what I'm saying. But I don't. But you guys do all the stuff and then I just learn the song. I like pretend Joey's not like no offense, but I basically pretend he's not there. He's been a supportive boyfriend. I mean, I sometimes feel like I'm in a band with my boyfriend. Yeah. I'm just the like hired gun bass player. It just also happens to be your boyfriend. Like when you're on stage and we're at jam, you're just like a guy. But then right after I'm like, oh, my boyfriend's too guy. Yeah. Okay.
00:35:23
Speaker
Okay, past influences. Past influences. Yeah, I'm curious to know. Yeah, me too. Past influenced our band. And it's the Hierophant, which implies that you will be at a time when you will actively seek answers of a philosophical kind. This may emerge as the study of a particular philosophy, system of belief, or a deep commitment or quest for the meaning of life.
00:35:47
Speaker
The Hierophant may have appear and appear in the form of an analyst, psychotherapist, pre-spiritual mentor in outside life whom you might turn to for comfort or help. ah That's so true though. I feel like, yeah, I feel like I was like, ah ah literally was like,
00:36:00
Speaker
just with life happening. I was like, this is something I wanna do. And I'm gonna regret it if I don't do it. You just said that it's your Make A Wish Band. You're like, I have to do this. It's my bucket list. I've been thinking just like, what would I regret if I'm 90 and I'm looking back? You never get this. And a lot of the reason I haven't done music before is like fear of judgment from others. And so, yeah, that is definitely...
00:36:24
Speaker
Yeah, it rings true. Yeah, it literally says it's time for you to meet a part of yourself where you formulate and express your own personal philosophy, spirit and ideas. Damn, damn, damn, through punk rock. That's cool. Through a jazzy little scot-punch song. And silly vids. Yeah. Okay. Future influences. Okay. I don't know her. I don't know that girl. Him. He's the night of cups. This is usually like yeah night of cups. Some babe coming into your life. That is, that is some, that's also somebody else in my deck, but I'm not going to see you. Is it a babe coming into your life? That is deagle night of cups.
00:37:09
Speaker
He's not a sword. A knight of swords. Oh, nice. Yeah. Knight of... I forgot what card he was. What's your card? Queen of Cups. Hell yeah. I'm the fool. Priestess. Nice. I had a tarot reader in Italy tell me that.
00:37:27
Speaker
That's sick. hi set that' long part Yeah. Yeah. I take it. We should have gone to that tarot reader. We went to the Pantheon in Rome in Italy. I was, I tried. It was a guy. It was a guy. I didn't want to go to a guy. That's fair.
00:37:48
Speaker
Okay. Our future influences. It says, um It is time for you to experience the Haiti and romantic dimension of love. This is why it's always a babe for me. The future, what's gonna happen? The night may appear as a proposal or of of marriage or an experience of falling in love. Maybe the marriage is a label.
00:38:09
Speaker
Oh, maybe. Hmm. Hmm. That's future. Or maybe the falling in love is just falling in love. Sometimes he implies an artistic propulsion proposition. Artistic. A relationship of another kind, which is no less exalted and idealistic. You may enter your life as a poetic and sensitive young man, which will only be ah a herald of your own emerging romanticism. Hmm.
00:38:34
Speaker
That's interesting. I mean in an artistic proposition. Yeah. That's fun. Future. A bever future possible relationship artistically. Yeah. Or a possible collaboration of something. Yeah. yeah yeah we do a speech Maybe we do a split EP.
00:38:51
Speaker
and Yeah, that's sweet. Okay. This next card is kind of a future extension of the first card. So where this was where we find ourselves right now at present, this is where we will soon find ourselves.
00:39:04
Speaker
It's kind of as close, I think, as you get to telling the future in terms of tarot cards. This card looks scary. Four of one. It doesn't look super happy. No, I don't like the imagery is giving fear. Well, there's a bunch of people with torches around a guy. A time or?
00:39:28
Speaker
with a ship in the distance. A time of reward for efforts made. Oh, are they like, yeah.
00:39:37
Speaker
Don't look too much at the picture. They're like, yeah, there's like partying with the torches. They're like, a creative idea has yielded early fruit and it's time that the individual has every right to celebrate in the concrete results of his or her efforts. But this is only a stage on the journey and soon the ship must set sail and face the hardest challenge before the final goal is reached. So it's happy. It's like, I'll be like, Oh yeah. But then there's like more to face. Okay. But and that's, that's life. That's life. That's a little scary. That's a W coming up. I think this is a W but there's like, there's rocky, uh,
00:40:15
Speaker
Sales ahead rocky but like the next challenge. Yeah, so maybe right yeah like I'm the next level great then that be like love How are we ever gonna beat that last album? It was too good And then we like get a better album. I Think this is a poke a heart. Okay. Don't look at his sad face. Look at that happy face yeah ease' a lot of fire torches up the bottom yeah The guy in the blue Yeah stoked ah Yeah. You cold? We got some fire. He's doing good. Hey, it's me. Ah, the high priestess. Yeah. So this next beautiful card is something like, I don't know. It's easy for me to say that like, I don't, for me as the one I care about the less because it's the views of others, but some people, you know, that means a lot. And maybe when you're talking about your band, it might mean a lot in this particular spread. but So let's see what it is. A high priestess.
00:41:11
Speaker
That is so sorry. This is like others of others, opinions of others, the views of views of others, views of others, same opinions of others. I priest, this is when Mazzie eats like three gummies. Yeah. Last night, Mazz last night on the couch with a broken knee. Um, the heightening of powers of intuition. This implies that there will be an encounter of some kind with a counter of some kind with the hidden inner world.
00:41:41
Speaker
This card represents Persephone. So you may be drawn inexplicably through the world through an interest in the occult or esoteric. yeah yeah Or the effects of powerful dream and the uncanneies uncanny sense that something is at work in your life.
00:41:58
Speaker
So having thus learned something of our physical nature and needs in this place in the world through our earthly parents, we now encounter the night world and which comes often with confusion bewilderment bewilderment to that silent figure whom bodies mother on another deeper and subtler level. The womb of the unconscious. Okay, low key though, like we're mother and like, I think it will like bewilder and confuse some. Like for real though, we're mother, like we're mothering right now.
00:42:28
Speaker
Take it easy lady. but but Mother is mothering, but like we're also mother. It'll like less sense, but still mothering. I think it'll confuse and bewilder some people what we're doing. I think it will confuse and bewilder. I think it will confuse you. And like, we do already have a song about being a witch, i like, you know? Yeah. And we're definitely like, we'll be perceived as like occultie, which is like sick. yeah into that And then I do think there's gonna be people like already I feel that like people like oh like you're in a band like like like i I already feel that I already know people are so people are confused. Oh, yeah, and they're bewildered They're confused. I'm mother. Well, I can tell you people are confused when I'm like
00:43:10
Speaker
I get asked about a show and I'm like, or how about this band? And they're like, how many fucking bands are you in girl? Like more better. This one, listen to this one. Cause that is what I've been doing lately. Yeah. You yeah. You're putting the band. It's good though. But people are, I think they are bewildered. I think they are. Oh, look at that. The lovers. What is this? The lovers. These are our hopes and fears, which are often surprisingly enough.
00:43:39
Speaker
The same fucking thing. Whoa. That's deep. And it's the lovers. That's scary. Our hopes and fears, which are often the same thing. That's scary. I wonder if it's a dangerous time. We long to be loved, but we're so afraid of it. Oh, yeah. I mean, that makes sense. Actually, fame and fortune. But you know what? I even like, OK, this is something like I like.
00:44:03
Speaker
just became like a boss of people and like the first little bit i would like was like it's like weird i don't really like when people are sucking up to me because i'm the boss oh yeah my best friend and staff was like you have to get used to that and i was like i don't like it so i feel like that's kind of like a similar feeling like even when people like oh you're banned so like that was so awesome like it's like hard to like that's hard it's kind of awkward oh yeah buddy Very much so. I'm new to this. It is. It is. Look, it's it's good, but it's also people like, can I take my picture? Yeah, that is kind of wild. But people ask you to sign things like if it's your own thing, it's fine. what my Yeah. But why do you want to write on your stuff? OK. Read. OK. Learn us.
00:44:47
Speaker
When the lovers appears in a spread, it augurs the necessity of a choice of some kind, usually in love. The fool, having learned about his own duality, must now put values to but put his values to the test. Sometimes this means a love triangle.
00:45:00
Speaker
but it can also mean the problem of too hasty a marriage or a choice between love of a career or some creative activity. oh my god my career and oh god i'm gonna have to quit my job i bet you it will because i've already had to like rebook a bunch of stuff i mean i
00:45:20
Speaker
We both and I keep rescheduling my clients to do like band stuff. Yeah, that's true. Juggling. Yeah, that's so real. Juggling. And that is my fear. That is a hope and fear. It is a hope and fear. We want the band to cover band. Right. Kill it. Yeah. I want it. We want it to be big. And I don't want it. But there's like consequences to it getting bigger. I'm scared. But I want it. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Cool. See, it all makes sense. What do you think of that, Michi?
00:45:50
Speaker
That makes sense. I mean, your hopes and fears. Yeah. yeah ah You don't want to like. You have to pick between like your responsibilities yeah and your creative yeah responsibilities to yourself. Try to balance art. Okay, last one. Knight of Swords. That's that's deagle. Yeah, that's awesome.
00:46:12
Speaker
yeah He came, I knew, for some reason I knew he was gonna show up. You must know that card so well. Tell us what your interpretation of it. Yeah, what's your interpretation of the card? Yeah. It's basically like, charge ahead. I love that for us. What's number 10 mean? What's number 10 mean? The final fucking outcome, baby.
00:46:34
Speaker
That could not have ended better. Hell yeah. Do I even need to look that way? I think you could, yeah, because I mean, i mean Yeah, you're charging ahead, you're bringing your message out into the world. We're cool rock and roll babes who are friends and we're having a good time and we're doing something fun and making cool music. Says it's time to be prepared prepared for sudden changes which break apart the ordinary patterns of life. who These changes may be inaugurated by an individual coming into your life who possesses the quicksilver fascinating disruptive qualities, or it may take the form of a new idea or vision which erupts from within and which throws ordinary life into disorder for a time. Thus, whether the knight of swords appears from without or from within, his gift is the ability to move with changes and the turbulence which he brings may ultimately lead to a broader vision of life. Okay, so he's gonna help us.
00:47:31
Speaker
that's ah okay That's a phenomenal final out there. That was a really good break. I love it. I feel so great about the future. Sorry. A reading for the collective. No, i that was more interesting. That was great. yeah like That's better. That's better. That was awesome. Yeah. Yeah. No, you did amazing. No, sorry. Thank you. Stop apologizing.
00:47:53
Speaker
I'm going to look it up. I got the Wheel of Fortune. A reading for the collective. Wheel of Fortune.
00:48:02
Speaker
that's That's a sound bite for you. Do the sound bite of like the spinning wheel. and you yeah but Yeah, it's a satisfying sound. I can smell the word wheel and short well.
00:48:17
Speaker
All right. Well, I'm sorry to share this collective. This is how I felt doing doing the reading for the live podcast. I remember we pulled up something and I was like, I can't say this. I can't even remember what it was. about everyone of something like I was like, I can't, I can't, I'm going to bring everybody down. as yeah can do But um yeah, it kind of feels like the wheel fortune right now. um You know, and that I hate to bring up American politics is bad, though like bad. bab Yeah, it's inevitable. It's kind of like a lot of people are feeling helpless right now. And as a collective, people might be feeling helpless. yeah Hell, yeah. It's kind of like we have no choice but to take charge of our destiny. I do. I do. I do feel that, OK, now there's somebody on TikTok that like broke down abracadabra by Lady Gaga.
00:49:14
Speaker
And it basically was just like not letting things like affect you. like like There's a lot of stuff going around you, like talking about like the devil, but like you like you have to like keep going and be in your power. And I'm like, I do really think that's like the vibe right now. It's just like, yeah, there's like all this shit coming at us, like all this like negative stuff, and we just have to like keep our peace and like keep going ahead.
00:49:39
Speaker
I think that's super important right now. Hell yeah. Then that definitely lines up with the song with the this That song definitely lines up with this. I'm surprised we have a fortune. Yeah, like this change, the changes that keep happening globally right now, we can't avoid them. No. So and this stuff is so slick ah cyclical in like history.
00:50:03
Speaker
Like yeah every 100 years, everyone forgets about fascism. Every 100 years, yeah everyone's like, what's fascism? Oh, right. It's bad. And everyone's fucked. It's also, it's also important to remember. You said, you said we have the cycle that cycles move. True. Nothing is for forever. And everything's impermanent. Everything. Wheel of fortune spins. Yeah. Yep. It's, it's going to keep moving. We have week. You have to wheel your own fortune.
00:50:31
Speaker
You know what I mean? You have to wield your own fortune. Yeah. Hell yeah. The fortune's not just going to trickle down to you. You got to wheel your own. Wheel it. Wheel it, baby. Yeah. So keep your mind on the distance when the devil turns around. Dabrica Dabra. You got to keep your mind ahead. I literally listened to the song 20 times in a row today because I'm obsessed. I know. It's like when you just hold one song forever. Yeah.
00:51:00
Speaker
Okay, like in the magic of the dark moonlight save me from this empty fight in the game of life. Yeah, it resonates. Yeah, sure. Yeah.
00:51:13
Speaker
ah could do Yeah. Pay the toll to the angels, draw in circles in the clouds. Keep your mind on the distance when the devil turns around. And the devil is Donald Trump. Go to the lady who gets new songs. Okay. She doesn't need any of her money. I think that's like overall a good card. Like it's just factual.
00:51:33
Speaker
It is what it is. It's a situation inner and outer in which we find ourselves present. Damn. And you just got to remember, you just got to keep on rolling that wheel of fortune. Yeah. Keep on. I mean, I hate to say this. I do. I actually love to say it at some point in time.
00:51:49
Speaker
The people in power can die. No one is for forever. No one is for forever. That's right. No one is for forever. OK, we'll end this with another question from the Discord. We're not going to go super into this just for time's sake. So we'll do a really quick witch witch. Erin from Power Up asks, what type of witches are there and what type am I?
00:52:13
Speaker
um that he'll he'll have to answer that question to himself, but we'll name a bunch of witches. Um, I did find a list of, um, a bunch of witches. Where did I, okay. So it was Fiona Duncan from the magical path.com. She said there was nine shout out. I just want to like name my sources. Um, 19 types, but, uh, Michi actually mentioned a glamor witch, which, which Like, obviously, I feel like we have to mention it wasn't got to be on the glamor, which is a person who practices glamor magic, which is type witchcraft that involves changing how people and things are perceived glamor, which is use spells, fashion and mindset to enhance their confidence, allure and personal magnetism. So I think I'm a glamor witch. Like, that's literally all I do all that day. I think I'm a glamor witch. Anyways, but every time I get my hair done by you, I say you're a sorceress. And to be fair, all of the, the products at your salon look like potions. True. And I like mix up chemicals and like, yeah, I do, million I do witchy stuff all day. You're an alchemist. For sure. Um, I think it could fall into eclectic witches, but I i feel like, ah like a lot of us would fall under it, but it's yeah unique to each witch and every eclectic witch practices singularly their own. There's no rules.
00:53:31
Speaker
um So you create your own one of a kind spiritual and magical path. So that's a kind of like umbrella. There's ancestral witches. It's the type of witchcraft um contingent on communicating with your ancestors. So they'll like kind of talk to their ancestors for guidance.
00:53:48
Speaker
um Angel witches they communicate work with angels um they can be spiritual spirit guides ah Ceremonial which I don't know angel which is like i it gets gaudy. I don't know about angel which is that's how I feel um yeah I don't like the angel stuff. I i don't know I agree. I don't I personally don't like the but I do like the song but oracles get into it like a lot of Oracle stuff gets into angels and Yeah. Um, so I kind of feel like there's like an edge of being an Italian witch too, of like the Catholic saints and the, and the witches, the witches, the Catholic saints and the angels. It's what our ancestors yeah would have believed in. So we're just using it as our tool yeah in like a Santa Ria kind of way. Hey.
00:54:34
Speaker
Yeah. um Ceremonial witch, practice ceremonial magic, high magic, ah elaborate ah rituals and accessories. Cosmic witch, star witch, ah they work with the cosmos and celestial energies. um So I feel like that would go into astrology a lot. Crystal witch, they obviously work with stones, but they like, whatever. A lot of witchy people have crystals, but they actually use it for like healing and energy work and magic. So a lot of that could be like people using Reiki.
00:55:03
Speaker
um And like other different energy healing. Yeah chakras dream witch so like people that are into like lucid dreaming um And they can kind of like the astral projection stuff. That would be like a dream witch. I love a lucid dream I i love it. I love when I'm like like I always like check the time or try to turn the light on and I'm like, okay Some of my most intense like experiences with people who have passed on have been through like lucid dreams. Crazy. That are wild. That's historically like an Italian witch thing. Is it? oh An elemental witch. ah It's a very old form of the craft, early folk healers and folk magicians. um so Earth, air, fire, and water, witches may work with the elements equally. They can favor one. so
00:55:51
Speaker
and if they identify so they could just be like a fire witch, an earth witch, an air witch, a water witch. I haven't done ah an elemental ritual as well and have some crazy stories about that. Whoa. It's wild. Yeah, I also, I want to tell you later. Yeah.
00:56:05
Speaker
See, there's a weekend. Just this yeah podcast could be seven hours. could be i like More episodes. Yeah. Energy, which firm grass of energy manipulation, they use the power of their minds and the energy in their body. They might use like divine energy. They draw from a source.
00:56:21
Speaker
more energy is drawn from a planet, green witch, hedge witch. ah They are deeply connected to Earth and its energy drawn to plant trees and flowers of all kinds, all about their botanicals. ah So they'll like use like herbs and oils and resins. Usually they'll like make them themselves. I do identify with green. I am a green witch in the summer because like that's when I can have my garden. But I also have green witch all around. I have like 30 plants. Your plant mom. 30 plants here. Yeah.
00:56:48
Speaker
a hedge rider, which I thought was weird. So it's a highly psychic witch who journeys through the veil to the other side, hedge jumping. So probably a lot of like people who talk to mediums, hedge quenches. You can communicate with the spirit world. through ask So a lot of people that can talk to the other side, I think would be a hedge rider. I think I could be wrong.
00:57:08
Speaker
Uh, I thought the kitchen, which hearth, which cottage, which tea, which feel like that's like very aesthetic right now. Yeah. That's very Gen Z and get cottage core, uh, very home centric, extremely nurturing. Their home is a special sacred place for kitchen, which is, uh, tea witches. So a lot of people that read the tea leaves, uh, Tessio, mancy Tessio, mancy, uh, is a divination method that interprets patterns and tea leaves. So yeah, that would be that hereditary, which.
00:57:37
Speaker
they're born into witchcraft, so it's a part of their family's lineage. um And a lot of the practice can be unique to each family. ah Lunar Witch, so whatever, moon moon stuff, relationship with the moon, may connect it through deities. Nature Witch regularly work with local nature spirits and spells and rituals. I honestly think that's very like indigenous. I feel like I... you You're kind of a nature witch. I do. every Every time I need spiritual grounding. I like go to the mountains yeah and go into nature. But I think that's normal. That's beautiful. We're lucky to live close enough to be able to do that. Definitely. A poison path. I would need like a four hour drive to the mountains. Well, that's kind of us too. Canada's just used to driving. But the four hour drive puts you in the middle of the Rocky Mountains. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:31
Speaker
Nice. A poison path, a witch who walks the poison a witch who walks the poison path works with poisonous botanicals. ah It's a branch of esoteric occult herbalism. And the point of practice is spiritual growth. That's crazy. That sounds cool. Yeah. It's like who's walking the poison path? Can they like come on the pod? Secular witches cast spells without any spirituality, which is kind of interesting. So they just rely on their own energy and power.
00:58:57
Speaker
um Yeah, but like there's no spirituality connected to it. So that's kind of cool. and And then here we go, like traditional witchcraft, like Celtic, African, Italian, European and Norse ah culturally based craft practice rooted in the old ways of a specific culture. So obviously it'd be like incorporating folklores and deities, but it would be extremely specific to their culture. Yeah.
00:59:22
Speaker
ah The last one is Wic and Witch. So a witch who practices one of the many traditions of Wicca. Wicca is a neo-pagan, earth-centric, 20th century religion that also practices witchcraft. Wicca and witchcraft are two separate paths. Which I think is interesting to note. Yeah. Yeah. but yeah Okay. So diagnose Aaron, witch. What would Aaron, what do you think Michi?
00:59:49
Speaker
Who are we diagnosing? You don't know. or i power up He's a good dude, though. He's a good guitarist from Power Up. He's a clock. He's a poison path. a Eclectic, I suppose. Is he kitchen? Is he like a homemaker hey that? No, I'm not really. i've I was supposed to go to his house this weekend. I um i guess eclectic.
01:00:19
Speaker
You'll have to, you'll just have to let us know. It's kind of hard to just like and read. whatever Yeah. Like, he I kind of feel like, uh,
01:00:30
Speaker
I don't know. He's, he's really like about like the community and bringing people together. That's gotta be something. I don't know. So that's, I think kitchen, which let's nurturing. Yeah. I think like yeah mean it's hard. I feel like I personally am six of these. Yes. Like, you know, yeah then it kind of, I think then you're an eclectic.
01:00:49
Speaker
I'm a glamour witch with a side of green witch. Yeah. but um So is there before we wrap up, is there anything like Italian witch rise that we want to bring up, like a special Italian witch thing? Befana is interesting. The Christmas witch. Christmas witch. chris What's her deal? Well, I've ah I've. I've always told you yet it because my mother literally dresses up like Bethanna and performs it this worms every Christmas and like reads the ah children's storybook that Tony. um Oh, my God. His name's Tony. No, the author. but No, then, of course, his name's to Tony. Tony. Yes, thank you. I'm like, you know, you know, Tony Devalvo. Yeah, Bethanna and Strega Nona.
01:01:41
Speaker
Anyway, and so you've always known about it for a long time, but it's it's it's weirdly. What's what's? Strega Nona. Strega Nona is just like grandmother witch. Yeah. Strega Nona is grandmother. Yeah. Wait, you never read the book? Yeah, you never read this? No. It's usually, it's the first baby gift I give everyone who has a child, I give them those books. That's cute. Yeah. They're so good. They're beautiful. and give them I'm baby. I have them also. I'll give them to you. Give a baby, give a baby a book. I'll give you. I'll show them to you. They're cute. They're so cute. sony um Is there anything specific to Italian witchcraft like other cultures wouldn't do?
01:02:25
Speaker
Weird or not? No, I don't know. I mean, Bethanna, probably is specific to Italian witchcraft. um I mean, like when I was in Sicily, we hiked up to the Temple of Diana. That was like a pre-Christian Wiccan temple on the top of a mountain in Sicily that was so freaking cool and gave me goosebumps all over.
01:02:51
Speaker
um And that was, yeah of course, Christians later came in and stuck a big cross on top of it and put a church there as they do. But that was a very cool experience just because they, like this temple, like so many Neolithic temples, like all aligned with, you know, the the sunrise and the star and constellations, and they had a giant well for rainwater that was used in rituals and and stuff like that. That's what's cool about like Italy or interesting is like they have all these it sucks that fucking pope fucked up all those cool pagan buildings like anything that was related but Italy was pagan as hell. Oh yeah pagan as hell and like so connected to like the earth and the moon and like every like yeah it's so it was pagan as fuck. Definitely yeah But then like it's interesting to see like the Pantheon in the same place as i mean as the Vatican. Well, yeah, exactly. It's so just different worlds. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's.
01:03:49
Speaker
typically what the Vatican did was just try to take over anything that was existing and be like, that never happened. It was always us. that i mean you know that's That's history, yeah unfortunately, probably everywhere. um so Okay, well, we're gonna end with our ska formation, which is, you gotta to break these chains.
