Ask A Witch with Bellamy Black

PLEASE LIKE, FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE! Letter sent in from “Tripping to Enlightenment” Dear Bellamy, I want to expand my mind and open my third eye. I am consistent about my meditation practices, and I feel I have been successful with lucid dreaming and astral projection. But I still want to go further. From what I can tell, my next logical step is to go on a medicine journey. I have toyed with the idea of using sacred medicines like ayahuasca, or psilocybin, but I know people also use LSD and DMT. I am wondering what your thoughts are on sacred medicine journeys. From what I can...

But honestly, she had a strong moral and ethical compass. I never felt like I needed to worry about anything. I was wondering what witches think about Satanists. Thank you!

I want to practice magic but I am struggling to focus my attention. I know meditation is really important, but I find I really struggle with turning my brain off and just being silent.

Ask A Witch with Bellamy Black

PLEASE LIKE, FOLLOW AND SUBSCRIBE! Today's Listener Letter is sent in by "Settling into my Spirit Side". Dear Bellamy Black, The thought of religion and spirituality has me conflicted. Growing up, my family was very religious, almost to the point where some may say it was “cult-ish”. There were expectations of behavior and punishment or ridicule if I did not comply. At first, these methods of fear mongering completely turned me off religion of any kind. I identified as Atheist, for years, but in my older age I feel called to spirituality again. But I am not sure where to really...

I heard this term recently, it resonated with me, but yet, I don’t know much about it. It is my understanding that to put a “glamour” on someone, is to make them see a person or an object as something that they are not. I feel like I do this, unintentionally, on a daily basis. See, my fashion style is what some would call eclectic. When I step out into the world...

Dear Bellamy Black,

It was great meeting you at Blessed Be Tea and Apothecary the other day. While I was there, we got to talking about divination and tarot. While I felt like a lot of my questions were answered, you suggested I write a letter to the podcast so that an expert might weigh in on the topic, so here ya go.

I have always felt drawn to practicing divination through tarot card readings, but I am completely overwhelmed. Do I have to start with a specific kind of deck, like the Rider Waite deck, or can I choose one that has artwork I like. Am I even allowed to buy my own deck, or does it have to be gifted to me? I don’t want to be attached to the guide book that comes with the deck, how can I learn to read fluently without the guide? and What is the difference between oracle decks, and tarot decks? Ugh so many questions, I really could keep going, but I think that’s a good start.

I cant wait to hear what your expert has to say on the matter. Thank you for taking my many , many questions. Blessed Be!!

In this insightful episode of Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black, we sit down with professional tarot reader and diviner, Loreen Muzik, to explore the fascinating world of tarot. Together, we debunk some of the common myths surrounding tarot reading, like the notion that you must be gifted your first deck.

Loreen shares her expertise on the differences between reading tarot cards by the book versus tapping into your intuition, and how both approaches can be valuable in your practice. We also take a deep dive into the rich history of tarot, with a special focus on Pamela Colman Smith, the brilliant artist and woman of color behind the iconic imagery of the Rider-Waite deck. We honor her legacy and discuss her significant contributions to the divination community.

In addition, we explore the various forms of card-based divination beyond tarot, including Oracle and Lenormand decks, and how each offers unique insights and guidance.

Whether you’re a seasoned tarot reader or just beginning your journey, this episode is packed with knowledge, history, and practical advice to enrich your divination practice.

Tune in to "Ask a Witch with Bellamy Black" on your favorite podcast platform and let’s explore the magical world together, one unique perspective at a time!
