Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ We LOVE Practical Magic 1…and when we found out there was a sequel coming out, obviously there was only one thing to do: gather some friends and make a whole night of it. And by a whole night, we mean a full Practical Magic double header. We gathered in Tabitha’s media room, loaded up on some very delicious snacks, and started with the original movie from 1998. Then, when that was over, we packed ourselves up, headed to the theatre, and watched part 2. It was SO much fun! But rather than spend this episode giving you a play-by-play of the movies, because let’s face it, if you love the original, you probably already know the plot by heart, and if you’re excited about the sequel, you’ve probably already seen it or have plans to. So, we’re making this movie review episode a little different. We want to talk about the magic in these movies, and the magic of these movies. The ideas around intuition, love, family, friendship, sisterhood, ritual, the things we inherit, and why almost 30 years later, there’s still something about the Owens women and their particular kind of magic that so many of us connect with. But a quick warning before we go any further: this episode does contain SPOILERS. We’re talking about both movies pretty freely, so if you haven’t seen the sequel yet and don’t want anything spoiled, go watch it, come back, and then join us here. We’ll wait. So, if you’re ready to talk all things practical, and not-so-pratical magic, let’s get into it! **************** A huge thank you to our friends for joining us for our Practical Magic movie marathon, and for helping make the whole night just a little bit magical. We had so much fun revisiting the original, experiencing the new movie together, and then getting to think a little more about the magic in these stories, the magic around them, and what “practical magic” might actually look like in our own lives. And now we want to know what you think. What does practical magic mean to you? Which of the movies would you rewatch? And, most importantly, what is YOUR practical magic house must-have?

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ How much of your life is being shaped by thoughts and patterns you aren’t even aware of? In this episode, we’re joined by Meghan Raza, Neuro-Performance Coach, Hypnotherapist, and Founder of Ascension Living. We explore the mysterious world of the subconscious and its possible connections to intuition, manifestation, self-sabotage, déjà vu, and those moments that feel almost magical. Why do we keep repeating patterns we consciously want to change? Is awareness enough to break the cycle? And are we unintentionally hypnotizing ourselves through our everyday thoughts and inner stories? Join us for a fascinating conversation about what may be happening beneath the surface.

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ If we could send a few things back to our former selves, knowing what we know now, what would make the cut? In this episode, we're taking a trip back through the past year of But First, Let's Woo, revisiting some memorable episodes, behind-the-scenes moments, things we've learned, and a few situations that make a lot more sense in hindsight. From the things we wish we'd known to the things we probably wouldn't change even if we could, we're reflecting on how much can happen when you stay curious, try something new, and occasionally have absolutely no idea what you're doing. Whether you've been with us for the whole adventure or are just joining in, we hope you'll laugh along with us and maybe discover an episode or two you want to go back and explore.

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ This week, we're exploring the wonderfully messy middle ground between skepticism and spirituality. Can you trust your intuition while still asking questions? Can you love tarot and keep your critical thinking fully operational? We're talking about discernment, confirmation bias, spiritual red (and green!) flags, ethical readers, and how to stay open-minded without handing over your common sense. We also welcome a special guest appearance from one of our resident skeptics—Tabitha's husband—who drops in to share a skeptical perspective, answer a few of our burning questions, and help keep us honest before returning to his regularly scheduled non-woo activities. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just here for the tarot chaos, we hope you'll join us as we wander, wonder, and woo our way through the conversation.

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ What if the universe has been trying to get your attention through numbers this whole time? Today, we’re diving into the intersection of tarot and numerology — not in a “you need to memorize a thousand meanings” kind of way, but in a practical, approachable way that can make tarot feel easier, deeper, and a whole lot less intimidating. Along the way, we’ll get into the basics of numerology — Ruling and Life Path Numbers that can reveal your personality and how you move through the world. Plus, we’ll share some of our own experiences with numerology synchronicities, childhood books reappearing at suspiciously perfect times, and those moments that make you stop and go… “okay, that’s a little too specific.” Whether the universe is sending signs or our brains are just really good at finding patterns… honestly, sometimes the result is the same: deeper self-awareness. We chat about: ✨ Life Path & Ruling Numbers ✨ How numerology shows up in tarot ✨ Childhood books reappearing at very suspiciously perfect moments Whether you fully believe the universe is sending signs, or you just think humans are really good at finding meaning in patterns, this episode is all about curiosity, reflection, and exploring the “what if?” together. So grab your tarot deck, maybe a calculator if math isn’t your love language, and settle in for a cozy conversation about the mystical side of numbers. Mentioned in this episode: 🔮 Interested in diving deeper into numerology? Check out upcoming classes and events through Higher Love Coaching ✨ We’ll also be hosting an upcoming tarot workshop in June, where we’ll explore tarot in a practical, intuitive, and beginner-friendly way.

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ This week, we’re diving into something simple… but quietly game-changing when it comes to tarot: how to ask better questions. Because it’s not just about pulling cards — it’s about how you frame what you’re actually seeking. In this episode, we explore why some readings feel deeper than others, how to shift from prediction into guidance, and how tarot works best as a snapshot in time — something you can respond to, not just receive. 💬 Join the Conversation What’s your go-to tarot question? Or… what’s one you’ve completely rethought? We’d love to hear from you: Instagram & Facebook: @butfirstletswoo Website: butfirstletswoo.com

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ This week, we’re diving into something that sits right at the heart of the woo—channeling, connection, and the question that so many of us quietly carry: “What if I’m not just imagining this?” Today we’re joined by Kevin Hughes, also known as Kevin the Medium, who has been experiencing spirit communication since childhood—long before he had the words or framework to understand it. What he thought were dreams… were actually conversations. Now, Kevin connects with spirit guides and loved ones, and teaches others how to do the same—grounded in the belief that this isn’t a rare gift… it’s something anyone can learn to access. So whether you’re deeply intuitive, a little bit curious, or sitting there thinking ,“okay but how do I know it’s real?”… this conversation is for you. Settle in, get cozy… and let’s begin. *********** If something in this episode resonated with you, or sparked a question you’ve been quietly holding, we’d love to hear about it. You can connect with us on Instagram and Facebook @butfirstletswoo, or through our website at butfirstletswoo.com. And as always, whether you’re fully in the woo or just woo-adjacent and wondering “is this real?”… we’re so glad you’re here exploring it with us. Thanks for spending your time with us. ✨ *********** Reach out to Kevin the Medium...he's awesome!

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ This week, we’re diving into something that often sits quietly beside tarot — oracle cards. If tarot is a structured system with shared symbolism, oracle decks are a little more… free-spirited. They can be themed around almost anything, created in countless styles, and often reflect the personal vision of their creator. Which makes them both fascinating… and occasionally a little chaotic. In this episode, we explore what oracle cards really are, how people actually use them, and how they can work alongside tarot. We’re also sharing a few of our favourite decks — and why they’ve stayed in our rotation. So settle in, get cozy, and let’s wander into the slightly mysterious — and very creative — world of oracle cards. ✨ In This Episode, We Explore 🃏 What Are Oracle Cards, Really? What defines an oracle deck  Tarot vs oracle: what actually makes them different Why many people start with oracle decks How people actually use them: Morning card pulls Journaling prompts Meditation + reflection Creative inspiration Emotional check-ins 🌙 Willow’s Deck Spotlight The Witching Hour Oracle — Lorraine Anderson What makes this deck unique The aesthetic, tone, and emotional feel It's connection to tarot 🌿 Tabitha’s Deck Spotlight The Wild Way Oracle — Nicola Allen What drew Tabitha to this deck Themes, artwork, and overall feel Who this deck would resonate with 🌀 Advice No One Asked For We asked the cards: What unexpected workshop theme should we explore next? Using a tarot spread + oracle message, we explore: The hidden theme we haven’t considered Why it might resonate How the workshop could unfold The core takeaway And ... we were surprised when they actually came up with some really good suggestions!

Welcome back our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🔮🌙✨ This week’s episode is a little different — and a little full-circle. Last year, we attended a women’s weekend as participants. We showed up with open minds, cozy sweaters, and a healthy curiosity about what might unfold. And this year… we went back as presenters. Which sounds very confident and impressive now. It did not feel that way beforehand. So today we’re taking you through the weekend. We’ll cover the before, the during, and the after — what we expected, what actually happened, and what we learned about doing things that feel big and a little bit scary. So settle in, get cozy, and let’s rewind the weekend together — starting with the part that might actually be the hardest: the anticipation. *********** If you’ve done something recently that felt big or a little outside your comfort zone, we’d love to hear about it. Come share your “did the scary thing anyway” moments with us over on Instagram or Facebook @butfirstletswoo — we always love hearing what you’re stepping into. Until next time… Do the brave thing gently, trust that you’re more ready than you think, and as always — keep it just a little bit woo.
