In observance of Black History Month, Sarah dedicates this episode to all the Black spiritualists, hoodoos, conjurers, healers and medicine keepers who, despite everything, keep the tradition and the magick alive. You deserve the world. One day, may the world deserve you.
In the wake of her personal Tower season, Sarah takes a silent retreat in Joshua Tree, CA to get right with the Spirit of Justice.

Some seasons are for f---ing around, but Judgment is when you get to find out! Sarah begins this episode with a firm call-in as she contextualizes this archetype in a conversation about Juneteenth, economic justice, community care, and reparations as a form of spiritual work. She then goes on to discuss the relationship between accountability and reciprocity, the difference between review and rumination, escaping indecision purgatory, and everything else that goes down at the center of the crossroads.

"The Power of Cutting Off" - Dharma Talk by Brother Phap Dung
The Karma Keeper is tired of watching you undermine your power and play small. The Devil asks: in what ways do you unconsciously or habitually diminish your own power and agency as a means to relinquish responsibility or maintain a false sense of safety?
