Episode 5 – January 2026 – Concerning Lady Salvia…

Happy 2026, and welcome to the first episode of the new year! And we hit our 5th episode milestone!

My first fancy guest of the new year is a Third Degree Gardnerian high priest and ceremonial magician as my guest. He is also an aborisha, husband, coven leader, reiki master, and audio engineer. He works with tarot and runes in his magical practice. He is also a singer and a musician who plays guitar, cello, and piano. According to the biography on his website, he hates olives, but will put pineapple on pizza any day of the week.

While I might disagree with his food choices, I think he is an absolutely amazing teacher of magical practices. I always get very inspired after his classes…

His story and insights on working with Lady Salvia and other plants are no exceptions. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together diving down different rabbit holes.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Aerik Arkadian!

* At one point, I mentioned there was a salvia sweetner… But I was actually thinking stevia (Stevia rebaudiana), a totally different plant… My bad!
