Southern Bramble: a Podcast of Crooked Ways

TW: this episode will discuss mature and sensitive topics such as sexual assault, consent, gay sex, and masturbation. If you would prefer not to listen to this kind of discussion, this episode might not be for you. In this episode, we discuss this topic of love magic, its history, its controversy, and common tools used in this kind of passionate sorcery. We also tackle some less spoken about topics like sex magic on your own and a frank conversation about understanding same-sex sex. With a few gay tangents and some spicy education, we think this may be one of our juiciest episodes yet.

In this episode we continue our discussion with Nicholas Pearson (@theluminouspearl) on Instagram, and we talk all about the earth beneath our very feet. We dive deeper into animism with crystals, discuss ethical mining, get to the bottom of the dreaded moldavite, and Of course we saved the best for last! Austin dares to share the story of his shocking “alchemical romance”.

In this episode, we feature pt.1 of Southern Bramble‘s interview with Nicholas Pearson. Nicholas specializes in minerals, crystals, & gemstones & shares the myths, magic, & science of the rocks beneath our feet. The full unedited video is now available on patreon to watch & Pt.2 of this podcast will be released on Feb. 1st. (Special note: this episode was recorded right after Halloween as you hear in the opening discussion. We felt the conversation carried educational value & left it in for the benefit our listeners.)
