Your Art Is A Spell
Season 1 Episode 20

In this second-to-last episode of Your Art Is A Spell, Edgar Fabián Frías reflects on the wild magic of Season 1, shares a collective two-card tarot reading, and answers listener questions about creative blocks, ADHD focus, and healing money shame. Along the way, Edgar weaves in stories of psychic gifts, ancestral medicine, and the importance of building underground, community-rooted spaces in times of fragmentation and surveillance.

This episode is a love letter to artists, witches, and dreamers navigating the messy, beautiful process of creation. It’s a reminder that your art is a spell—and that you have the power to reclaim joy, resilience, and freedom in your practice.
