What do you wish I asked this guest? What was your "quotable moment" from this episode?
Marcella Kroll, a multifaceted spiritual counselor, tarot reader, and deck creator from Tucson, Arizona, joins us for an eye-opening conversation about the responsibilities and reverence involved in identifying as a witch. Marcella shares her rich heritage, drawing from Italian folk magic and her Native American, Filipino, and African American ancestry. She candidly discusses how her unique family background validated her magical abilities and guided her spiritual journey.
Listen as we navigate Marcella's personal tales of self-discovery and ancestral healing, detailing her experiences growing up in a restrictive Rhode Island environment. She opens up about the challenges of self-teaching spiritual rituals in unconventional spaces, grappling with imposter syndrome due to her multiracial background, and creating personal practices that honor but don’t replicate traditional lineages. Our conversation shines a light on the necessity of ongoing self-reflection, respect for diverse practices, and the importance of maintaining one's unique path.
We also touch on the emotional toll of being a self-published author and witch in the age of social media. Marcella reflects on the distinction between passion and fame, early organic follower growth, and the current pay-to-play model’s impact on validation and recognition. We explore the pressures of productivity, the significance of balance and self-care, and the journey of navigating spiritual connections and new beginnings. Don’t miss out on Marcella’s upcoming events, workshops, and exciting new projects that promise to inspire your own spiritual path.
