You know we love bringing Great People to Great People. Week after week, Jenny C. Bell and I, Granddaughter Crow, get to showcase Amazing Authors, Authentic Creators, and Dedicated Spiritualists. In such, we get to talk about the BEYOND and all of its Wonder!

However, sometimes what is BEYOND our human experience can be very complex, and even harmful in some cases!

In tonight’s episode, we are going to explore the complex topic of AI or Artificial Intelligence vs the HI or Human Intelligence. Not from a “AI helps me get things done fast” nor from a position of the fact that “The AI data centers are detrimental to the mother earth and are stripping basic resources from already stressed environments”.

Tonight, we are going to go back to the heartbeat of the human race. Self-expression, self-autonomy, and the humans right to breathe! We are joined here by the Artists of our time, the Authors, and Creators: Nikki Wardwell Sleath, Deborah Blake, and Mickie Mueller sit down with Jenny C Bell and Granddaughter Crow to explore the impact of “How people in the Spiritual and Witchcraft community view AI”!

As we explore this broad topic, know that you have the liberty to explore, investigate, and ask questions, and feel all of your feeling and think all of your thoughts. And let’s all continue to educate ourselves. So, let’s explore, In our 1st Roundtable Diaglogue.

Samantha is a spiritual counselor, educator, ordained minister, and PhD in theology and world religions, and she brings a rare mix of grounded care and mystic clarity. Her new book, Create Your Own Afterlife: Take Control of Life After Death, asks a bold question: what if the afterlife isn’t just something that happens to you, but something you can prepare for with intention?

We talk about ancestors, the power of grandmothers as guides, and how early spiritual experiences can become a lifelong toolkit for grief support and life transitions. Then we dig into one of the most surprising ideas in the conversation: “ghost training.” Samantha explains why there are plenty of books on contacting spirits, but almost none on how to be a spirit responsibly. We explore how to plan the kinds of signs you might send after death, how different religions view ghosts and afterlife contact, and how thinking this through can deepen your relationships right now.

We also go straight into the heavy stuff: guilt, fear of punishment, and what to do when you need to make amends but the person you hurt has already passed. Samantha shares practical ways to repair, release, and reclaim hope, plus a vision for placing afterlife resources in hospice care and cancer centers where people need them most. If you’ve been searching for afterlife planning, fear of death help, grief healing, or spiritual counseling that doesn’t talk down to you, this one’s for you.

Bio:

Samantha Corfield is a spiritual counselor, educator, and founder of Spellmaker, a metaphysical business she has operated since 1995. Over the years, she has worked closely with hundreds of individuals navigating uncertainty, grief, spiritual doubt, fear of death, and life transitions.

Her book, Create Your Own Afterlife, encourages readers to examine mortality with curiosity rather than avoidance. Free from dogma yet respectful of diverse beliefs, the book provides reflective exercises designed to help readers release inherited fears, define their spiritual truth, and craft a meaningful afterlife vision rooted in personal authenticity.
While completing the final edits of the manuscript, Samantha experienced the sudden loss of her grandson, Preston. In the midst of profound grief, she found herself returning to the very framework she had created. The exercises became grounding tools — helping her reconnect with love, memory, and present-moment awareness.

That lived experience strengthened her conviction that imagining one’s afterlife can be stabilizing rather than escapist. Samantha’s work blends psychological insight, spiritual imagination, and practical reflection. She believes that facing mortality honestly can reduce anxiety, restore agency, and help people live more fully — and that planning one’s afterlife may be one of the most liberating acts of self-awareness a person can undertake.
Samantha lives with her husband of 20 years, Matt, and their dog, Rosie. She also makes a mean gumbo.

Tarot isn’t just a mirror for your personal life. It can also be a language for breaking the spell of colonized thinking.

We sit down with Christopher Marmolejo, author of The Red Tarot, to talk about divination as a “literacy of liberation” and what it looks like to read the cards through a queer, trans, decolonial lens. We get honest about how colonization trains us to treat certain kinds of knowledge as “real” and dismiss spirit, ancestors, ritual, and psychic experience as irrational. We also connect this to the Missing Witches Reparations Fundraiser and why reparations are about repair, not charity.

From there, we make it practical. We explore what “colonized” interpretations can sound like in tarot, especially around gender, relationships, and the pressure to predict one correct future. Christopher reframes the Twos in the minor arcana, showing how the Two of Cups can hold fluid identity and two-spirit resonance, how the Two of Swords can reveal dissociation and silence born from trauma, and how the Two of Pentacles can invite you to learn by experience instead of following a rigid map.

We close with a grounding reminder: we don’t know what we don’t know, and staying curious keeps the spirit from getting exhausted.
