Love, Lust & Magick

#33: "Slut Etiquette" Solo Episode

This one is for the witches and mystics looking to get a little down and dirty. This week on "Love, Lust & Magick," Gabriela celebrates the launch of her membership called "Slut Coven" by reading an essay in her series "Diary of a Sacred Slut", which will exxxclusively be available to the coven.
In this essay, Gabriela shares her rules for being a sacred and mindful slut; namely, not comparing yourself to others; the importance of being a safe slut and advocating for your health; releasing the idea of "clean" or "dirty" and letting go of this harmful rhetoric; that you can be kind and caring even during casual sex; the importance of trusting what your partner tells you; celebrating the importance of kink celebrating instead of shaming; how to manage your expectations and MORE.
This one is spicy, fun, and filled with years of research as a professional and recreational slut.

#30: “The Universe Wants to Play” with Micki Pellerano

It’s Venus Day, witches, and it’s time to flirt with the universe and vibe into the weekend with a brand new episode of “Love, Lust & Magick”. In this episode, Gabriela interviews the iconic Hermetic occultist, astrologer, and Cancerian sweetheart Micki Pellerano about his practice with magick, jyotish, and his current esoteric obsessions. The two discuss Micki’s introduction to magick as a child, and how this lifelong fascination with the unseen exists to this day. Micki goes on to share about his philosophy with astrology and life- that there should always be remedies for the tough times, and play and joy no matter what. Then, Gabriela and Micki reflect on the Goddess, on what the purpose of a mystical life is, and how the cosmos are conspiring for your success and prosperity.
Plus… Gabriela makes a very special announcement at the end of the episode about what’s to come!

#29: "How to Have a Sex Goddess Summer" Solo Episode

WELCOME TO SEASON TWO OF "LOVE, LUST & MAGICK"! We are so back, witches, and we are amping up for so much new magick, sedcuction, and depth for season two, starting with an episode on HOW TO HAVE A SEX GODDESS SUMMER! 
It's the summer of the brat, it's the summer of the slut, it's the summer of the sex witch showing up. In this episode, we begin by exploring the role of the Sex Goddess in mythos and magick- how She shows up as Inanna, Venus, Aphrodite, Hathor and Babalon. We explore what the darkness and lust of the Sex Goddess teach us when in connection to light and love. Then we explore modern archetypes of the Sex Goddess- Pamela Anderson, Jayne Mansfield, Bridgette Bardot and others, and how these irl icons can pave the ways for us embracing our own inner Sex Goddess, inspiring our inner muse.
Then we get into the juicy and practical stuff! What are the practices and intentions we can set to go out and be in our sacred slut fantasy? How do you actually LIVE in the energy of the Divine Feminine to have a Sex Goddess Summer? We get into the nitty gritty and how to EMBODY this, so you can radiate love, lust, magick and sensuality everywhere you go! This episode even includes exclusive affirmations to work with, so you can continue basking in this power even after this episode is over.
If you want more support in having the Hot Slut Summer of your dreams, check out my books Sacred Sex and Goddess Energy, and my tarot deck the Goddess of Love Tarot for even more support, magick, and ritual!

#28: “Embracing the Taboo” with Colette Pervette (SEASON FINALE)

In the *season finale* of “Love, Lust & Magick”, we are wandering into the world of BDSM, commercial dungeons, kink as healing and so much more with the legendary and incomparable pro-Domme Colette Pervette. In this episode, Colette shares about her journey into the world of kink while in grad school, what it was like to find this part of herself, and how she shares her nearly 20-years of experience with the women she teaches in “Mistress Class”. Gabriela and Colette talk about the initiation of coming out as a sex worker to your parents, and Colette gives Gabriela some guidance on her journey to do so (spoiler alert- this happens for Gabriela sooner than anticipated). Colette shares about her philosophy around kink as a need for us to find equilibrium, before the two bond over Colettes work with her cohort of Dommes called “Mistress Class”- where a new generation of Mistresses are trained in the art, energy, and awareness of BDSM. This conversation is vulnerable, honest, real, and a look into what it’s like carving your own path, one that may not always be easy to move through, but that will always be deliciously perverted.
Thank you to everyone who’s listened to “Love, Lust & Magick” over the past six months- we are so so grateful. We can’t wait for season 2, and hope the past season keeps you entertained until our return in a month <3

#27: “In Defense of Thelemites” with Maevius Lynn

Happy Venus Day in Taurus season, witches! In this week’s episode we’re celebrating the season with Thelemite, teacher, and Taurus Maevius Lynn. The conversation begins with Lynn sharing how her school library, philosophy books, and political activism play in her journey into occultism, and specifically Aleister Crowley’s religious, spiritual, and philosophical system of Thelema. Gabriela asks Lynn about the common misconception people have about Crowley and his magick, and what she wishes people kept in mind when discussing the “Wickedest Man in the World”- namely nuance and context. Lynn shares about the often unacknowledged fact of Crowley’s queerness and how this plays into the inclusivity of Thelemites in the modern age. Lynn shares about the ways occultism and ceremonial magick have helped her personal growth, and how those communities have supported her in real life. The two discuss the ways in which Thelema can be a part of your life, before Lynn shares how to begin connecting to this path of magick if you’re curious about it. Here’s to Crowley and Thelemites, baby.

Welcome to Taurus season, witches. We’re celebrating pleasure and beauty in this episode of “Love, Lust & Magick” with Saturnian artist, high fashion kitschwitch, and all around spooky king Bill Crisafi. The conversation begins with Bill sharing about his upbringing in Salem, Massachusetts, how art is his forever muse, and how was always meant to be a witch. Bill and Gabriela discuss the role of witch in the realm of creativity and art, and Bill shares about what inspires and sustains him to continue alchemizing his internal world. The two muse about the way Bill’s practice naturally extends through many artistic mediums, and how this can also be in collaboration with his partner, fashion designer Hogan Mclaughlin. Gabriela shares her reflections on Bill’s legacy, and how his art inspires play, joy, self-discovery, and shadow work.

#24: “Daring to Feel” with Alexandra Roxo

Welcome back to another juicy episode of “Love, Lust & Magick”. This week, Gabriela is joined by artist, sensual mystic, and author Alexandra Roxo to discuss her new book “Dare to Feel” and the alchemical path of the heart that she’s devoted to. In this discussion, Alexandra shares about the ways she began her exploration of the erotic and esoteric, how this set her path for her current expression of heart wisdom, which inspired her new book "Dare to Feel". Alexandra and Gabriela then throw it back to when they went to a tantric movie screening gone wrong, and the ways Alexandra's path and life have transformed since. The two wax poetic about the sacred and profane, and how Alexandra's teachings helped Gabriela in her own life. Alexandra then discusses the ways in which ritual and dance keep her connected to her body and heart, how this is part of her latest book, and what this is like in the context of being a new mama. To finish the episode, Alexandra shares practices to begin on the journey of reclaiming your body and sexuality as sacred. We hope this one inspires your own reclamation of your feminine fire.
