00:00:00.000 The Spirit is rising, she's rising, she's rising. The Spirit is rising, it's rising, it's rising.

00:00:10.460 The Spirit is rising, they're rising, they're rising. The Spirit is rising.

00:00:17.360 Hello Coven, and welcome to another installment of The Missing Witches Prescription,

00:00:22.920 where we take a look around at lay stage capitalism and try to figure out something

00:00:29.120 that's going to get us through another week and risa is expecting some big results biopsy results 0.95

00:00:38.020 today so we'll take half a second to focus our energy on risa send her all kinds of love

00:00:46.700 health good vibes loving vibes weave a web of protection around her in your imagination

00:00:54.620 she has told me that she feels those golden strands when they come through and so we're

00:01:01.340 just going to keep doing that for her every time we think of her we can weave those golden strands

00:01:08.060 those red threads around her but today i am joined by killian for this prescription aka

00:01:18.580 death-tinted glasses. How are you, Killian? I am doing well. I'm excited to be here.

00:01:28.300 I'm excited to have you here. It's so good to see you and your face. So Killian, like I said,

00:01:36.740 runs death-tinted glasses. They have an Instagram and a website to that end. Do you want to tell

00:01:43.960 our listeners a little bit about death-tinted glasses before we get into our prescription?

00:01:48.580 Sure, sure. So I have had a lifelong interest in death-related topics. I think that it's

00:01:57.640 important for us to talk about death-related things. As a society, we don't like to talk

00:02:02.180 about death-related topics, and it's like the one thing that we all are going to share in common.

00:02:08.420 It happens to everybody sooner or later.

00:02:10.800 Exactly. And it's more there's all kinds of death, you know, not just the death of a life, but the ending of a job or a relationship or, you know, all these other things.

00:02:23.060 And it's important to talk about endings, you know. So that's kind of what my goal is with Death Tinted Glasses.

00:02:30.400 But then recently I've also got really into astrology. And so I'm bringing astrology into my Death Tinted Glasses project.

00:02:38.120 project. My website's kind of out of date because I've been focusing on the astrology for so long,

00:02:43.180 but I'm getting it up to date very soon here with that extra astrology aspect.

00:02:49.620 I have a feeling that you and I may have brought a similar prescription this week because we were

00:02:54.340 just in a meeting together the other day, so I'm going to let you start. What's your

00:02:58.540 prescription for the Missing Witches Coven this week? Well, I actually brought a different

00:03:03.540 prescription besides the one that you're talking about um but i could also of course i i was

00:03:10.420 planning on talking about that one as well but i have a separate one so which one should go first

00:03:15.720 do you think anyone doesn't matter the one that's a surprise to me oh okay cool so um i am always

00:03:26.720 stories of rebellion are what feed my soul so i bring to you stories of rebellion there's this

00:03:36.800 it's a tv show um on peacock and it's called um we are lady parts and it's a show i'm sorry i have

00:03:46.220 to interrupt you because i was muted and so the listeners didn't get to hear my gasp of excitement

00:03:53.560 i love we are lady parts so so very much what a great prescription okay carry on

00:04:00.480 yes it's so fucking good it's just the best it's it's pretty short there's just 12 episodes or 30 0.71

00:04:08.380 minutes each um and it's a show about a punk band a muslim woman punk band in uh london and i mean 0.92

00:04:20.640 it's just it's just so good so much rebellion um especially the end of the second season with the

00:04:27.900 glass ceiling feeling song oh man it's just it's just so good so if you like stories of rebellion 0.96

00:04:34.520 that's what i suggest maybe we're just actually shit no you know we're fucking great but we didn't 0.98

00:04:41.600 pray this morning or even yesterday maybe we're a novelty act but token black and browns please 1.00

00:04:50.200 Shut up, I've had enough of you 1.00

00:04:52.860 Putting us down 1.00

00:04:54.320 I didn't even know the second season had come out yet

00:04:57.520 Oh, I know what I'm doing this week, y'all

00:04:59.920 Oh my goodness, oh my goodness

00:05:01.820 Because the first season came out around the same time as this Netflix movie called Moxie

00:05:09.380 Which was about a little suburban white girl making a zine

00:05:13.220 And it was cute, and it was great, but it was cute, you know

00:05:17.300 and We Are Lady Parts is like the real deal it's beyond cute and into like astounding

00:05:26.080 astounding oh I'm so excited for the second season did it come out recently do you know

00:05:31.340 uh yeah I think it came out recently that's why I got into it I didn't watch the first season but

00:05:36.680 they were pushing it really hard because the second season had just dropped and I was like

00:05:40.080 yeah okay this looks interesting and then as soon as I watched the first episode I was like oh this

00:05:45.820 is beyond interesting i am into this yeah it it will make you want to start a punk band so let's

00:05:52.060 put that into the prescription if you can start a punk band and keep in mind that punk means no

00:06:00.000 rules you don't have to do sex pistols covers you can bang on pots and pans and shout you know back

00:06:08.200 in the day resa and i used to take folk songs and turn them into punk songs so that we could scream

00:06:15.460 and yell you know little punkified john denver and stuff like that so it this show is like it's

00:06:25.400 it's really really exciting and inspiring what a great prescription thank you killian

00:06:32.100 yay yeah now on to what we talked about at our meeting so killian we had a meeting the other

00:06:38.120 night and killian brought up this fact and this is a discovery from 2009 so it's not like new news

00:06:48.200 but it was news to me so maybe it's news to y'all who are listening so i'm gonna read something from

00:06:56.220 an article that came from the guardian again this was back in 2009 astronomers searching for the

00:07:02.820 building blocks of life in a giant dust cloud at the heart of the milky way have concluded

00:07:09.700 that it would taste of raspberries

00:07:13.260 the universe tastes like raspberries there is like a spot in the milky way in um the the

00:07:24.560 constellation of Sagittarius that is this gaseous cloud filled with um ethyl folate

00:07:33.180 and ethyl folate is the molecule the chemical that makes raspberries taste like raspberries

00:07:41.620 and y'all I don't know why but when Killian said that the universe tastes like raspberries

00:07:47.840 swear and Killian was there so they can like you know tell you that this is the truth

00:07:53.880 I burst into tears I have no idea why I had such an over-the-top emotional reaction to

00:08:04.240 our galaxy tasting of raspberries but I did and maybe it's because I had picked some wild

00:08:11.640 raspberries from a bush that sprung up in my yard maybe it's because it feels like such a great

00:08:20.500 unifier to know that we can we can taste the universe that we can in our own way taste our

00:08:31.540 galaxy just by eating raspberries what yeah it's pure magic it's pure magic like this is why we're

00:08:42.540 witches not because we don't believe in science but because we believe science is so vastly 0.94

00:08:49.520 exciting and can tell us things like the fucking galaxy that we live in tastes like raspberries 0.99

00:08:58.640 like if your mind isn't blown by that what's gonna blow your mind i really i really can't 0.95

00:09:05.320 think of something more mind-blowing than that and so my prescription this week is twofold

00:09:11.440 it starts with getting some raspberries smelling them tasting them but also to recognize that like

00:09:21.280 our molecules are their molecules so the song that i want you to listen to while you're thinking

00:09:28.080 about this and while you are tasting what the galaxy are that what the milky way tastes like

00:09:36.780 is by sun raw the sun raw orchestra now if you're not familiar with sun raw this was

00:09:44.940 a musician whose sort of narrative was that he and his band came from outer space it's not

00:09:53.540 orchestra it's orchestra so this idea that beings had you know gotten together on this ship you

00:10:03.340 know to be preserved throughout the universe it's wicked funk jazz and they have an album called

00:10:12.340 space is the place space is the place and the title track is of course also called space is

00:10:20.620 the place and here's what i want you to know sun raw sang outer space is a pleasant place

00:10:28.000 a place where you can be free there's no limit to the things you can do

00:10:35.500 there's no limit to the things you can be space is the place

00:10:46.400 there's no limit to the things that you can do

00:10:51.040 there's no limit to the thing that you can be your soul so again like while we're tasting

00:10:59.660 raspberries and recognizing like this is what our galaxy tastes like what an amazing way to

00:11:09.000 recognize that there's no limit to us what we can do what we can be you know there's that whole we

00:11:18.340 are we are stardust we are part of the cosmos and it's a lovely thing to think about but now

00:11:25.160 or as of 2009 anyway we have this amazing evidence that our taste buds and the fruits that grow on

00:11:34.500 bushes in our yards are connected to the very molecules that make up our whole universe there's

00:11:42.700 no limit to the things you can do there's no limit to the things you can be space is the place

00:11:50.960 and i think about this all the time and y'all have heard me talk about this all the time that

00:11:55.080 sometimes i get a little overwhelmed by the idea that i am like the force of gravity is holding me

00:12:04.100 to this rock that is hurtling through space in an expanding universe it's a really overwhelming

00:12:10.480 thoughts sometimes and sometimes it feels scary but sometimes it feels like i am limitless there

00:12:19.560 is no limit to what i can do there's no limit to what i can be and i can connect myself to the

00:12:26.500 stars in the milky way and the space between atoms by eating raspberries by tasting raspberries

00:12:38.180 what what such a beautiful simple act to connect us all to the big picture to the universe

00:12:48.560 yeah and that's so much of what magic is these simple or mundane you know we believe that when

00:12:54.760 we become witches when we recognize that we are witches we sort of relinquish the mundane

00:13:00.480 the mundane no longer exists when you're a witch because even the act of eating a raspberry is like

00:13:07.560 a profound connection to the stardust and universe that created us and surrounds us right

00:13:15.220 right talk about re-enchanting the world like for real for real for real for real and can you think

00:13:23.740 of anything like you're an astrologer can you think of any anything like astrologically

00:13:31.180 that would help us make this connection further well my first thought is so this was found in

00:13:42.400 the constellation of sagittarius right and i am a sagittarius rising that's part of where my rebel

00:13:50.900 soul comes from so just bringing it back to also the my previous prescription about we are lady

00:13:58.880 parts like rebellion and raspberries and the universe it's all it's all part of it it's just

00:14:05.300 all part of it the rebellious nature of the universe can you imagine if there be a creator

00:14:12.600 and this creator decided to put the same molecules in the milky way as in you know little red berries

00:14:21.060 what a beautiful beautiful notion and a beautiful beautiful idea and it took forever in human

00:14:30.040 history for us to find this you know but it's been there the whole time the whole time

00:14:35.160 that too let's think about the rebellious nature within ourselves right and like how

00:14:42.420 maybe you don't think you have it but when you discover it you recognize that it's been there

00:14:51.020 the whole time and you just needed the right tools a massive telescope in the case of the

00:14:57.780 milky way or maybe journaling or maybe meditation or maybe divination whatever tools you use to

00:15:07.120 reveal parts of you to you yeah oh i'm just getting shivers y'all i'm just getting shivers

00:15:17.660 yeah it's so good so we're starting punk bands even if it's a punk band of one

00:15:27.660 with a kitchen pot and a wooden spoon as a drum and a drumstick we are screaming our songs

00:15:37.160 we are absolutely rebelling against anything that tells us that we have limits to what we can do

00:15:46.000 or what we can be we're listening to sun raw who again claimed to be from outer space

00:15:53.140 and use this motif to change the way that we look at music the way that we listen to music

00:15:59.960 super experimental again like if we really broaden the notion of punk then we can definitely

00:16:06.720 put sun raw in there because there were no rules um and what else are we doing we're eating

00:16:14.040 raspberries and we're looking up at the sky if you could combine these things if you can

00:16:20.120 conjure up your punk rock rebellious spirit while eating a raspberry while staring up at

00:16:28.000 the night sky and the stars and our galaxy while listening to sunraw while eating raspberries

00:16:35.880 while looking up into space and conjure that rebellious spirit that was always already there

00:16:42.000 was always already there and whatever tools you need be it music be it fruits

00:16:48.860 right who knew fruit could be a tool of rebellion

00:16:52.780 thank you so much killian can you remind our listeners again where they can find you and
