Welcome back, Spirit Travelers! In this episode Kalee and Sonia break down some of the ways the Crown Chakra is exercised in our Western Society. But first, a quick talk about different ways the Crown shows itself in other cultures: Sonia talks about Sikhism and Kalee talks about they symbology of Halos. Then we dive into the Current Event portion where we discuss the need and the results of worshipping celebrities and figures that are not Devine (false idols). Why do we do it? What happens when we become disillusioned? Last, we sink our teeth into a touchy subject that persists in the spiritual community. Should people with mental health conditions practice spirituality? How does internal and external spiritual practice effect mental health? Join us for this month's Witches Brew episode for our answers to these juicy questions.
