#42: "Astrology is Magick" with Vivi Henriette

We're taking a ride into the cosmos and expanding our mind, heart, and vision while we're at it! In this week's episode of "Love, Lust & Magick," Gabriela is joined by Vivi Henriette, Aries astrologer and host of "Astro Salon" at the Philosophical Research Society. Vivi shares about the serendipitous path that has led her to be a professional mystic through giving astrology and tarot readings to the public, as well as hosting events with other like-minded occultists. It's Libra season so of course Gabriela asks Vivi what she looks for in synastry (or relationship) readings, as well as what her favorite signs to date is. Vivi shares advice on how to handle the intensity of astrological transits while remaining optimistic about the future, and then the two talk about meditation and how wonderful it is, and what we can learn from the practice. Then, Vivi and Gabriela talk about the event they're hosting at the Philosophical Research Society next week on 10/22! If you're in LA, grab your tickets, and either way, we hope you enjoy the conversation!

#40: “Dancing with the Dark Goddess” with Madelaine Horn

‘Tis the season of the Goddess, of beauty, and of being an esoteric slut. This week’s episode of “Love, Lust & Magick” is honoring body, flesh and perversion as sacred medicine, as we are joined by iconic Scorpio stripper queen and femme fatale Madelaine Horn. As always, this conversation is spiritual and sexual, but perhaps extra special. Madelaine shares about her path as a sex worker devoted to the Goddess, and she and Gabriela wax poetic about this path as one of deep devotion and healing. 
Madelaine speaks of her journey into erotic work in honor of the Goddess, how she is supported by different faces of the Feminine Divine as she dances, and how sex work is actually a healing profession. The two discuss the power of eroticism, sensuality, and intimacy to heal, and the rituals, practices and perspectives that are vital while doing this work.

#38: "Rock 'N' Roll Witch" with Pleasant Gehman

Get in witches, it's storytime. On this week's episode of "Love, Lust & Magick," we have the honor of being joined by psychic AF Pisces witch, rock 'n' roll legend, and burlesque and belly dancing baddie Pleasant Gehman. Whether you know her from being a punk legend in the 80's, as the co-host of witchy burlesque show "Belle, Book & Candle" or have read her memoirs like "Showgirl Confidential" and her latest, "Rock 'n' Roll Witch", there can never be enough said about Pleasant.
In this conversation, Pleasant and Gabriela share about how they met before Pleasant speaks on the the connective tissue of all her work- aka being magickal and paranormal- and how this influenced her latest book. Then Pleasant blesses us with stories from her life that seem almost too wild to be true, though they most definitely are.
We hope this gets you in the mood for Spooky season, witches!

#37: "Reclaiming the Virgin" Solo Episode

Get in witches, we're reclaiming the virgin for Virgo season this week on "Love, Lust & Magick." It's true, actually! We're ditching the definition the patriarchy made up about giving your "virginity" away and looking to the ancient past. We are flipping purity culture on its head by remembering the innate power and beauty of pleasure. Inspired by Virgo's symbol as the virgin, we're remembering the definition of a virgin to mean unwed and belonging to oneself. We take a look at the Virgin Goddesses, the idea of sexual sovereignty, and the power of the Hermit- Virgo's associated tarot card- to weave a new narrative around sexuality, innocence, and empowerment. Gabriela reads from "The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets", and her books "Sacred Sex" and the "Goddess of Love Tarot" to inspire your journey into your sensual depths this Virgo season.

#34: "The Body as Alchemy" with Kayla Tange

It's the the last Friday of Leo season, so obviously we are keeping the heat. In this weeks episode of "Love, Lust & Magick", Gabriela is joined by performance artist, iconic showgirl, and Gemini baddie Kayla Tange to  talk about sex work, the body as alchemy, and Kayla's transformation into her alter ego Coco Ono.
