Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Coffee & Divination, I’m joined by David Shi - shamanic worker, folk magician, and author of Spirit Voices: The Mysteries and Magic of North Asian Shamanism, published by Weiser Books. David's work explores the traditional shamanic practices of North Asia, particularly those of Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic peoples, and the importance of ancestral and land spirits in these traditions. We chat about David’s earliest encounters with divination and his ancestral calling, before exploring what it means to be chosen by spirits as a shaman, the differences between traditional North Asian shamanism and modern Western interpretations, and the responsibilities that come with spirit relationships in different forms. We also discuss divination and its role in spiritual decision-making, fate and free will, trance, spirit flight, the use of jaw harps and drums as triggers, and much more. There was so much to explore in this conversation, and I always really enjoy speaking with David. I hope you enjoy this first chat on the show as well!

Hades: Trance, Desire, and the Wisdom of the Underworld with Jamie Michelle Waggoner

Jamie is the author of Hades: Myth, Magic & Modern Devotion, a deep exploration of one of the most familiar (and frequently misunderstood) gods of the Greek pantheon. Her forthcoming book, One Foot in the Underworld: Myth & Magic for Death, Dying, and Beyond, expands that work into the wider landscape of the Greek Underworld, death care, grief, ritual, and relationships with the dead. We begin with Jamie’s earliest experiences of divination through weather, plants, animals, and the natural world before turning to Hades himself: the Unseen One, Host of Many, ruler and caretaker of the Underworld. We talk about Hades in myth and personal experience, Jamie’s use of trance journeying and personal gnosis alongside historical research; devotional relationships with gods; and the complicated mythology surrounding Hades and Persephone.

Kitchen Witchcraft, Magpie Tarot, & Trusting Your Intuition with Rachel Patterson

Oct 29, 2026 48 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m joined by author, teacher, editor, and longtime professional Kitchen Witch Rachel Patterson for a wonderfully practical conversation about divination, creativity, and what happens when we allow our magical practices to evolve and change over time. Rachel has written more than thirty books on witchcraft, folk magic, plants, food, divination, deity work, and everyday magical practice. In this lovely first chat, we talk about Rachel’s wonderfully unusual Magpie Tarot: an enormous (and deeply personal) deck assembled from cards drawn from many different tarot and oracle decks - and what it has taught her about intuitive reading and symbolism for divination. We also explore divination through everyday materials, and the difference between learning correspondences and developing relationships with the things around us. We also explore her most recent work on daily magical practices - including navigating the experience of falling a bit 'out of practice' on our spiritual path, and how we can reconnect in healthy ways. A really lovely conversation, and I feel it will be the first of many! --- Find Rachel Patterson: Rachel’s website, for her books, blog, podcast and more: www.rachelpatterson.co.uk Explore Rachel’s books: www.rachelpatterson.co.uk/my-books Kitchen Witch community, classes, readings, and resources: www.kitchenwitchhearth.net More from JoAnna & Coffee and Divination: The Diviner’s Pathway — Six-Week Online Course - NOVEMBER 2026 There are only a few places remaining in the first online cohort of The Diviner’s Pathway, my six-week live course in relational, nature-led divination.

Wyrd, Runes, & the Wisdom of the Hávamál with Lonnie Scott

Oct 23, 2026 52 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m joined by Lonnie Scott - Heathen practitioner, author, paranormal investigator, and longtime host of Weird Web Radio. This was a really interesting, wide-ranging conversation, talking through chaos magic, the runes, paranormal investigation and much more. Lonnie shares how his tarot practice has evolved over the years, and how Heathen cosmology (including Freyja, the Norns, and the Nine Worlds) is a part of his devotional and ritual practices. We also dive into Lonnie’s book, The Javamal: Words of the Caffeinated One, his coffee-fueled reworking of the practical wisdom found in the Hávamál. We talk about adapting ancient wisdom for modern life, the Heathen concept of wyrd and its relationship to fate and choice, runes and bindrunes, and creativity in modern magical practice. (And, in a way I appreciated for our show, there is some discussion of coffee, along the way...)

Amy is the author of numerous books, including Blackthorn’s Botanical Magic, Sacred Smoke, Blackthorn’s Protection Magic, and her newest book, Blackthorn’s Botanical Shadow Work. It was lovely to have Amy to talk about spirit connection and intuition on a number of levels... We begin by talking about Amy’s early experiences with intuition and divination, before moving into her lifelong relationship with plants and the ideas behind Blackthorn’s Botanical Shadow Work. We also talk about spirit communication within a larger web of relationships, the physical and ecological realities of the plants we work with, and why magical relationships don’t need to be disconnected from the ordinary world around us. -- Find Amy Blackthorn online: Amy’s website: http://www.AmyBlackthorn.com Amy’s books, including Blackthorn’s Botanical Shadow Work: https://amyblackthorn.com/books/ Amy's podcast: https://amyblackthorn.com/blackthorn-grove-podcast/ -- The Diviner’s Pathway — Small-Group Container Course Registration Now Open: Spots are filling for the founding cohort of The Diviner’s Pathway, a new, six-week live online course in nature-led divination, deep listening, and discernment.

Irene is the co-author, with Caine Dreamwalker, of the newly released Foundations of Witchcraft: A Blackfeather Mystery School Training Manual, from Crossed Crow Books, as well as Blackfeather Mystery School: The Magpie Training.

We begin our chat discussing the divinatory experience that inspired Blackfeather Mystery School, and the question at the heart of Foundations of Witchcraft: what skills and practices actually help someone become a capable, grounded Witch? Irene and I talk about spirit communication and discernment, knowing your own internal voice, and using divination to help confirm and clarify messages you've received. We also explore Elemental Life Sculpting, magical agency, guising and altered energetic states, trance states, and the importance of maintaining foundational practices even as our magical work becomes more advanced.

Intuition, Tarot, and Ritual Tradition with Deborah Lipp

Sep 9, 2026 1 hr 0 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined by Deborah Lipp — author, Witch, High Priestess, tarot reader, and teacher who has been practicing and teaching Wicca, magic, and occult subjects for more than forty years. Deborah is the author of numerous books on Witchcraft, ritual, magical practice, tarot, and polarity, including The Elements of Ritual, Tarot Interactions, Bending the Binary, and her newest book, Roadmap by Moonlight: A Guide to Wicca for Life. We begin by talking about what it means to build a magical and spiritual practice that can actually last for decades — not simply a collection of techniques, correspondences, or rituals. We also talk about experimentation, adapting to new situations and needs, and how we create vibrant new things, without losing the structure that makes it all work. And of course, we spend quite a bit of time on divination: Learning to see a spread as a complete image; psychic perception and the ways it can become suppressed; intuition versus projection; prediction; and the importance of becoming willing to take risks. We also talk about magical polarity beyond simplistic male/female binaries, the ideas behind Deborah’s book Bending the Binary, and what happens when inherited magical structures are examined more deeply instead of simply discarded or repeated. It was a lovely conversation to have, and I appreciate all the care that Deborah puts into all of her books and teachings. -- Find Deborah Lipp online: Deborah’s website: https://www.deborahlipp.com/ Deborah’s books: https://www.deborahlipp.com/in-print/ Deborah’s Bookshop.org store: https://bookshop.org/shop/deborahlipp -- Upcoming Events with JoAnna: Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 7 p.m.: Book signing and talk with JoAnna at Phoenix Books in Burlington, Vermont.

Plant Spirits, Divination, and Everyday Witchcraft with Leandra Witchwood

Aug 31, 2026 55 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I'm joined by Leandra Witchwood — modern witch, wortcunner, herbalist, author, teacher, and founder of The Magick Kitchen podcast. Leandra's work brings together witchcraft, herbalism, plant-spirit relationships, shadow work, divination, and decades of magical practice. She is a Master Herbalist and Reiki Master, and through The Witchwood Teahouse, she creates intentional hand-blended teas rooted in her work with plants and herbalism. We begin with Leandra's earliest experiences with divination, as well as her path into herbalism and the practice of wortcunning. We also dive into dendromancy -- divination and communication with trees -- as well as ways of listening to the spirits of land and place. If you're listening as this episode comes out, Leandra has several classes and offerings happening very soon — and Leandra and I will both be teaching at TempleFest in Massachusetts, September 4–7.

Neoplatonism, Omens, & Divination with Dr. Gwendolyn Reece

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I'm joined once again by Dr. Gwendolyn Reece — Pagan priestess, Theosophist, librarian, and author of "The Waters of Mnemosyne: Ancient Greek Religion for Modern Pagans" This time, we go deeper into Neoplatonism: what it actually is, how the gods fit into a monistic cosmos, and what any of that has to do with recognizing an omen (for divination) when you see one. We talk about the difference between superstition and actionable intelligence, why academia keeps the occult at arm's length, and what it would look like to bring real philosophical life — symposia, hard questions, communal thinking — back into modern Pagan practice. I completely agree with Gwendolyn about the importance of philosophy, in-person discussion, and philosophy as a LIVED experience in the modern day. Every one of us has something important to contribute to this conversation...

The Garden as Talisman: Astrology, Magic, & The Zodiac Garden Guide with Isaac Hill

Jul 20, 2026 1 hr 10 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m joined by Isaac Hill — occultist, astrologer, musician, gardener, and co-host of the always-fascinating Plant Cunning Podcast. Isaac lives on an herb farm in Central New York State with his wife, AC, and together they have interviewed some of the most important herbalists, occultists, astrologers, and permaculturists working today. He is also the author of The Heathen Golden Dawn and his new book, The Zodiac Garden Guide, which we discuss in this episode. In our conversation, we talk about what it means to create a zodiac garden - not simply as a list of plant correspondences, but as an intersection of astrology, plants, place, magic, and the intelligence of the garden itself. (A garden as an astrological talisman, in a sense.) Isaac shares how he came to astrology through tarot, music, astrological magic, and permaculture, and we explore tropical and sidereal astrology, plant correspondences, and the balance between magical perception and practical gardening knowledge. This year's Plant Cunning Conference will be happening July 24–26, 2026, on AC and Isaac’s land in Central New York State. Sadly I won’t be there this year because I’ll be traveling, but I was grateful to present and attend in previous years, and I highly recommend checking it out if you can make it — or visiting the Plant Cunning website and podcast either way, to learn more. -- Find Isaac Hill online - Buy the Zodiac Garden Guide: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GW7F2KRP Plant Cunning Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plantcunning/ The Plant Cunning Conference: https://plantcunningconference.com/ The Plant Cunning Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@plantcunning --- Upcoming Events with JoAnna: July 28, 2026: Workshop at The Atlantis Bookshop in London Atlantis events and booking information: https://theatlantisbookshop.com/atlantis-events/ Aug. 15, 2026: The Diviner's Path Book Event at The Serpent's Key in Hanover, PA - The Se...

Kimberly’s work invites us to approach the home as a living, ensouled place — one shaped by gratitude, attention, care, and relationship. We talk about her path from tarot into Druidry, why she wrote Sacred Homemaking as a practical entry point for people returning to spiritual life, and how small acts like cleaning one corner, thanking the bed, sweeping the floor, or even tending the toilet can become powerful magical practices. We also discuss clutter, protection, discernment, household spirits, haunted objects, consumerism, perfectionism, ancestors, music as prayer and spellcraft, and so much more.

Magic for Uncertain Times: Risk, Sovereignty, and Divination with Ivy Bromius

Jul 3, 2026 1 hr 6 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I welcome my friend and returning guest Ivy Bromius of Circle Thrice back to the show. Ivy and I have known each other for a number of years, and her work brings together a wonderfully unusual - and extremely useful -combination of professional project management, practical enchantment, and magical timing through tarot and other divinatory arts. We begin with risk: how can divination help us look toward the future without becoming trapped by fear? Ivy explains why thoughtfully considering what could go wrong is not the same as magically causing it to happen—and why facing a possible risk can actually make us feel more empowered, and capable of changing our course. We discuss the emotional reality of fear, and explore courage and sovereignty: the ability to act according to our values, and work toward something better for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Is Tarot Illegal? Beck Ravenswood on Witchcraft, Divination, & Religious Freedom

Jun 17, 2026 1 hr 1 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I welcome my friend Beck Ravenswood to the show - witch, tarot reader, and owner of The Serpent’s Key Shoppe in Hanover, PA. Beck shares the story of discovering tarot as a teenager, receiving the dream that helped inspire The Serpent’s Key, and creating a thriving, interfaith community space devoted to magic, education, and connection. We also discuss the legal fight that has placed Beck and their shop at the center of a much larger conversation about divination, religious practice, freedom of speech, and Pennsylvania’s archaic fortune-telling law. Before Beck’s shop had even officially opened, Hanover police warned them that offering paid tarot readings could violate a statute dating back to the nineteenth century. Beck is now challenging that law through an ongoing lawsuit, while Pennsylvania House Bill 1562 seeks to repeal it. Along the way, we talk about the difference between fraud and legitimate divinatory practice, ethical tarot reading, building real-world Pagan community, interfaith dialogue, and the courage required to live openly and authentically. (And of course, we aren't lawyers, and are not qualified to offer any legal advice.) --- A Note on Civic Engagement We believe there is tremendous value in learning who represents us locally and taking part in respectful civic dialogue around issues that matter to us and our neighbors. That does not require everyone has to agree about politics, religion, or spiritual practices. It means communicating respectfully, and remembering that we all share communities with people whose backgrounds and beliefs may differ from our own. If these issue matter to you, please consider contacting your representatives. Pennsylvania residents can ask their state legislators to support HB 1562 and the repeal of Section 7104. Listeners outside Pennsylvania can still contact their own representatives, share information about the issue, and encourage dialogue with their Pennsylvania colleague...

Ethical Witchcraft, Pagan Ecology & Plant Spirit Magic with Sian Sibley

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I welcome author, witch, educator, and biological scientist Sian Sibley for a fascinating conversation on plant spirits, pagan ecology, animism, geomancy, and ethical magical practice. We explore what it means to truly treat plants, stones, incense, trees, and the land itself as living beings in relationship with us — and why that changes how we practice magic. This conversation also dives into “doubt devils,” discernment in divination, ecological responsibility, and the powerful idea that plants can, of course, say no to us, at times. --- Links and More: TempleFest (New England, September 2026) – Welcome - TempleFest | Temple of Witchcraft Sian's Patreon: Welcome to Ecological Witchcraft | Patreon Sian's recent book, Black Paths and Green Cathedrals: Black Paths and Green Cathedrals : A Guide to Ecological Paganism - Sian Sibley - Aeon Spirit JoAnna's latest book, The Diviner’s Path: A Nature-Led Approach to Divination with Tarot, Runes & Pendulums, is now available for pre-order: https://amzn.to/4e6EXH9 Pre-orders make a huge difference in helping a book reach more readers, so if you’ve been planning to pick up a copy, this is a wonderful way to support the work.

Dr. Al Cummins on Spirits, Ancestors, Discernment and Magical Practice

May 7, 2026 1 hr 18 min

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Alexander Cummins — historian of magic, diviner, and teacher of early modern cunning craft—for a deep and grounded conversation on working with spirits as allies in magical and divinatory practice.

Episode 35: Solo Show on Developing Divination Relationships, and An Exciting Announcement

Mar 23, 2023 20 min

Send us Fan Mail The very first "solo show" of Coffee and Divination! I wanted to speak a little about a topic that's come up with a number with my guests recently: how we relate to our divinatory tools, and also how we might deepen our connections to them. As a Witch who practices a nature-based, pantheist, and animist Tradition, the act of relating to forms of divination, and the Spirits who speak through them, is something I think a great deal about both as a teacher and a practitioner. In today's episode, I share five things that I feel are key to developing healthy relationships in divination. There is obviously a great deal to say on the topic, so this is only a beginning... I am also excited to officially announce the podcast's new Patreon page! To show my thanks to our listeners, I'll be hosting a special Patreon-only Zoom "Coffee and Divination" chat hangout each month, (beginning with a Launch Party on April 1st,) where we can chat, discuss magic planning, and where myself and my rotating guest co-hosts will throw cards or otherwise answer listener questions during the hour... For our Patreon members, I'll also be releasing additional content including monthly templates and spreadsheets for divination, advance notice of guests, extra episodes, and more. Check out the Patreon page to learn more and to sign up!

Send us Fan Mail The latest episode is another lovely discussion with author, poet, and scholar Peter Mark Adams. His latest work, "Hagia Sophia / Sanctum of Kronos: Spiritual Dissent in an Age of Tyranny," is a fascinating exploration of the pagan Mystery cults and their diverse survivals in later philosophical traditions, as well as a discussion of the ways in which the construction of the Hagia Sophia cathedral in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) encapsulates the metaphysics of spiritual union taught within the Eleusinian tradition – all in the face of intense persecution and oppression. Diving into the nature of sacred art, symbolism, and religious 'survivals,' I really enjoyed the conversation and I hope you do as well! -- Peter's website: www.petermarkadams.com | Author Peter Mark Adams' Official Site -- Peter's profile on Scarlet Imprint - Peter Mark Adams | Scarlet Imprint -- Link to buy Hagia Sophia / Sanctum of Kronos: Spiritual Dissent in an Age of Tyranny | Scarlet Imprint -- Coffee and Divination's Website: http://www.coffeeanddivination.com -- Theme music: Come with Me by JoAnna Farrer.
