In this episode I am joined by Jessica Messenger psychic, occultist and founder of a new occult bookshop, CraftHaus, in the city of Derby, England. Jessica recalls her idyllic childhood in the Midlands of England, her early affinity for the weird and metaphysical, and how a life changing experience at age 17 drove her to a lifelong study of the occult. Jessica discusses psychic gifts, mediumship, tarot, ritual, and descries how she used chaos magic to radically change her financial situation. Jessica also talks about the inspiration behind starting her occult bookshop, reflects on the importance of community, and shares stories of entity encounters and visitations. … Also available on Youtube , iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast’. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 00:53 - Opening an occult bookstore 03:47 - Downloading ideas from spirit 05:29 - Jessica’s idyllic childhood 07:25 - An affinity for the weird and metaphysical 08:01 - Early experiments with potions and magick 09:33 - A life changing supernatural experience at age 17 14:35 - Driven to explore the occult 16:18 - Internet occult communities 18:10 - Finding a deeper spirituality in a toxic relationship 20:23 - Trauma and connecting with the spirit world 21:06 - Premonition about ex-partner’s death 23:38 - Finding herself exiting a toxic relationship 25:57 - Everything you need is within 27:51 - Learning to trust intuition 29:42 - Two sources of intuition 32:57 - Working with guides 33:46 - Years of secret occult practice 34:33 - Exploring Tarot cards 36:10 - Shame around occult practice 36:19 - Worry about the opinions of others 37:47 - Ongoing learning and mentoring others 39:33 - Chaos magick practice 41:01 - Wealth magick and radical financial gain 43:30 - Is wealth magick stealing? 45:11 - Podcasts and books 47:55 - Icons and idols 49:51 - Me-too era and mistrust of public figures 50:54 - Meditation practice 52:40 - Evolution of Jessica’s meditation practice 53:08 - Trance mediumship 55:17 - Physical sensations of spirit contact 55:40 - Psychic self defence and magickal protection 59:49 - Going beyond fear 01:01:04 - Entity encounters 01:02:15 - Visitations 01:03:29 - What do entities want? 01:05:29 - Personal lore and natural psychics 01:07:00 - Sharing magick in a relationship 01:10:17 - A hub for alternative lifestyle communities 01:13:14 - A magickal experience in the shop 01:17:13 - Using magick and psychic abilities to help others 01:20:34 - Finding CraftHaus Occult 01:22:15 - Concluding remarks … Find out more about Jessica Messenger: - https://crafthausderby.com/ … For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi’ by Steve James If you value the podcast and would like to support its continued production, you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/guruviking.
