Hello so this is another read through of this time a more recent game, a lyrical almost DIY slammed poetry list of how to shapeshift or — TRANSMORFIGY. This is for all the folks who enjoy pulling out litanies of stories ( or maybe horrors ) from their own bodies and really testing and experimenting, with how the things in our bodies exit or talk. This is quite image dense so I do recommend downloading the game to read along! so you can highlight or maybe type out comments on a mad mad pdf.

We’re continuing where we left off from the last podcast and having a straight read through of the RPG Tower of Heaven, a circa 2020 game about an ex-angel breaking into heaven about an ex-love. If you’ve ever loved supernatural stories that are cozy and at the same time heart wrenching, then this game and it’s prompts will be perfect for you! Sometimes we do need the realms of story and fictions to expound on what we feel, through borrow paints, and timelines expanded.

This is direct read of the instructions of the game and i do read all 78 rooms of tower of heaven, each one a reinterpreted scape of the classical tarot deck. Feel free to pause at any parts/rooms that you like or even randomly shuffle through the audio. I hope you enjoy the Worlds I built back in 2020 as much as I do.

This is part 2 of 2, of a coupled episode where the first episode is a sample playthrough of the game, where I play out the story of Kenneth.

A new format for the new year! In this episode Maria plays through an old RPG game they wrote in 2020 about an ex-angel breaking into heaven about an ex-love. A story of liminality and symbol, we explore the space of Stories (a general one or a particular one) and how it can activate the untouched rooms of our psyche.

This is part 1 of 2, of a coupled episode where the second episode will be a read through of all 78 rooms of tower of heaven, each one a reinterpreted scape of the classical tarot deck.

For this play through, I tell the story of Kenneth a being of particular restriction and regret.

A relatively short but important podcast! In this episode we pick apart the different nature (or even orientation) of listening to Intuition versus Overthinking. For many, accessing the many depths and spiritual intelligences inside of us feels overly magickal, miraculous when it can surely be everyday, lived and embodied. In this episode, we walk through the capacities to discern but also drop into the well of intuition inside of us, a sure web and compass from our Soul and how to increasingly grow momentum and trust with it.

If you ever feel like your end of year ruminations need to process not just the past years, but the past several years (and larger cylces) then you’re not alone. Time is fudgy! And there are a lot of concepts, assumptions and expectations we bake into how things end (or don’t end), or how things tie up and awkwardly transition into things you notice happening (or don’t notice! happening at all). Join the conversation with Maria and Anna as they walk through the cyclical in between of being between eras and grief, and yielding to heart that both Knows (and maybe doesn’t need to know). Listen in :)

Note: Episode has significant tagalog as kwento/chika/storytelling

Covers:

• haircuts, shedding color schemes, skins
• saturnian changes, marking endings or ever transitioning beginnings
• Eg: oh it’s still alive it’s just …in a different form now…
• when do gardens actually end?
• definitions of “sacred” changing: salt water is salty no matter the shape
• changing versus just being at peace with “muchness”
• rush to have answers but maybe we shouldn’t have them? absolutely
• what’s a miracle you didn’t even plan for?
• (GREMLIN SCHREAMING)
• love, friendships: your heart content, honest and untamed at peace with the life it gets to hold
• love as sharing, invitation; do you want to include your heart in your plans?
• what does your Kaibuturan need wala ng lokohan. listening long enough to actually answer?

There’s a specific process, patient and wise that concerns itself with diving into one’s depths, touching the very fiber—primordial myths of how we’ve come to settle in our very being. In this episode we have artist, pastoral counselor and expressive arts facilitator TJ of @ssssawa___ sharing the personal narratives we reclaim: whether it’s around a Christian God, our fractalled pasts, and the many poemed-arts we make to find our way through them. A very contemplative podcast about the potent energies of personal Mythos, with a hint of expressive arts therapy. If you long for a space to contemplate your own inner worlds and journeys, then this is the podcast for you.

This episode has some taglish but is mostly legible to english only listeners.

Covers:

• Creative process: pocket portals, IFS (Internal Family System) in Lore
• A beach memory, and safe locations
• Redemptive Mything from bible stories, seminary background
• Void’s sari-sari store and Sawa’s tattoo, a direct relating to the Divine,
• EXA’s transformation drawing, a favorite activity making tactile work
• Spiritual Accompaniment from Dessert Fathers and Mothers, Ignatian
• Myths as Spiritual Tech, Gachiakuta, re-tailoring & attunement to sutras
• Music as portals as energetic memories
• Another Myth: The Widow, Like a Holy Face, The Isolate, Inter-dimensional Immigration Officers
• Original characters expound themes and fields, Collective Stories around Princesses and Knights (archetypal)
• collective myths and how we resonate.. earthing the high pisces waters
• invitations

There’s a specific energy speaking with Kat about the willingness to really root down and feel the very life and experiences that you’ve had. In this episode, we have @cutiesexylonely, artist and dear ARMY friend of mine, sit down to chat with us about a deep acceptance of ourselves, our own process, and the cheeky fun ways more desires and love can come crashing in our lives. We talk about very aries-eque tendencies of heightened emotions, but also instincts for the truth of things or how to align to things. We share the specific feeling of offering up to the world, more inner-worlds of who you are and being willing to trust it. If you want a very fun (AND YES IN CHIKA-TAGLISH) podcast on befriending and advocating for yourself, and the creativity that is (also!) within you, then this is a must listen for you. We cover:


- the push and pull of self birth

“in your feelings” intuitive self-acceptance process of kat’s flow vs planning

gut-fire deep seated intense unearthing of our creative process

“thank god i take care too much”

claiming and announcing, what you’re about

just being NICER to YOURSELF

deep knowing and manifestation: signed hobi barbie

deeper sense organ: i think everything will be fundamentally Okay

giving EVER MORE!!! permission to what you want

scared baby bunny wanting connection but also pulling back

continuous waves and new soil unearthing and being offered to the shore

what’s playing with your inner child like?

when children “grow up too fast”, nawawala ang spark/purity ng child

raising zae: best life for kat’s self and her daughter

feeling so generously vis a vis also neutrally witnessing

closing thoughts

With our returning guest Puki Maanawhari @pukifromearth we get a potent preview of the upcoming book “Babaylan Whispers for the Colonized Filipino Mind”, a very vital but also direct treatise on a Philippine Babaylanic Lineage. In this book Puki has channeled from the foremothers not only accounts of famous babaylan revolutionaries, but also vital invitations and specific languages of native living practices hailing from negros but also adapted and explained to modern times. Plenty of modern texts on babaylans come from an observer’s perspective, talked about in the past tense rather than engaging with it in the present era. Puki and the babaylans of her coven share generously the very personal work of writing down and even translating, the very heart of their spirit and practice.

Covers:

• Why they came to write the book?
• Babaylanic lineage like a hardy grandmother, souls that are people not non-humans
• Different roles of babaylans like Taga Bantay (protector)
• Enerhiya and Dunggan (Life Essence) difference with Karma
• Social Work aspects and typical features of a authentic babaylan
• Oral and non-standardized manner of calls and rituals
• Why knowledge and wisdom is earned
• What’s important is not always convenient
