In this episode, multi-modality oracular artist and the human behind The Glitch Witch, Lisa Quigley, joined me for an expansive conversation about the process of maturing as a spiritual practitioner, nurturing the Aquarian consciousness, and what it actually takes to build a business that can hold your depth.
This is the first episode in a series I’m doing throughout 2026, Inside The 10th House, where we’ll explore the unique journeys of practitioners who are committed to growing and sharing their spiritual gifts with their communities and the world-at-large.
We also explored:
* Lisa’s journey of Aquarian evolution from being a rebel without a cause into remembering her innocent, visionary self.
* Making a conscious transition from a period of voracious acquisition of certifications in healing modalities into embodied integration of skills and perspectives.
* How engaging in energy work and setting up a clear ‘hello’ to her people helped clear the projector bitterness.
* Communicating and articulating what we do as multi-modality practitioners without flattening it into a neat box or alienating your audience.
* Extraterrestrial contact work as a portal to more fully embodying being human.
Lisa Quigley is a multi-modality oracular artist, soul archaeologist, and energy architect of The Glitch Witch Otherworld. She helps imaginative baddies, sensitive dreamers, and homebody bookworms get their vision off the secret pages of their journals — and into the physical world.As an award-nominated author and long-time mystic, Lisa bridges galactic remembrance with grounded leadership so you can turn your “glitches” into your greatest magic.The Glitch Witch Otherworld is a mythic parallel realm where your archives of lost magic are recovered, and where artists, mystics, and multidimensional humans restore their destiny timeline.

We’re excited to introduce a new interview series on the podcast: Inside The 10th House!
Inside The 10th House dives into the internal work and the process that practitioners, artists, writers, creatives, and visionaries move through, as they birth their work into the world.
Over the years, I’ve had private conversations with colleagues, peers, and mentors about the joys, challenges, and transformations they undergo as they become the vessel for the work that wants to come through them.
My intention with this series is to convey:
* How each person’s journey is unique and how it’s influenced by their backgrounds, their practices, and the path that emerges.
* How the creative process is almost universally non-linear and unpredictable.
I hope you enjoy this exploration, and that you find solace, inspiration, and a sense of kinship through these conversations.
We’ll start our series tomorrow with Lisa Quigley (aka. The Glitch Witch)!

This conversation was so much fun. I invited two of my favorite diviners, Erin Kelley and Mallory Dowd – both of whom are brilliant tarot readers and intuitives in their own rights.
We discussed their relationship with The Wheel of Fortune card: what they think of when this card comes up in personal and client readings, their favorite ways to be with the inevitable changes and surprises in life, and how this archetype might color 2026 energetically.
We also invoked some of our favorite Tarot thinkers by reading passages from their writings:
* Jessica Dore’s Tarot for Change
* Amanda Yates Garcia’s article 2026 is our year to break the Wheel of Fortune
* Christine Payne-Towler’s Tarot of The Holy Light
* Sallie Nichols’s Tarot and the Archetypal Journey: The Jungian Path from Darkness to Light
Mallory Dowd (she/they) is an intuitive tarot reader, therapist, and artist in love with the world. Her work draws on her clinical training, lived experience, studies in tarot and astrology, and earth-based spiritual practices. Mallory is interested in grief, imagination, and play and is devoted to the honest, slow work of healing through relationship. Mallory offers intuitive tarot readings, therapeutic support, and spiritual and creative mentorship. They share their writing on Instagram and Substack and are currently working on two podcasts: Seeding Spells (daily divinations and love notes from the tarot) and an upcoming conversational podcast about love and grief.

Erin Kelley is a writer, devotional astrologer, and esoteric strategist with a feral heart. Her intuitive gift of right timing is the essence behind her work, affectionately called Slow Magick. Erin believes desire is holy, change happens when it is time, and that Eros is the driving impulse connecting this moment to the next. Before leaping into her second act, Erin spent over a decade creating award-winning go-to-market strategies. She now uses her instinctual abilities with her well-honed analytical skills to craft practical, effective recommendations for engaging with the subtle realm in everyday life. Erin offers astrological consultations and mentorship, is the steward and facilitator of several charmed offerings, and is the producer, editor, and host of The Nature of Invisible Things podcast. She finds much joy and satisfaction in sharing her love of the divinatory arts, helping others reconnect with the magick within and re-enchant their lives.

February 2026 is an invitation into inevitable changes.
The month begins with a Full Moon in Aquarius, with 4 personal planets and Pluto in Aquarius. Change is here. A revolution is here. We simply have to get out of the way.
We explored:
* Finishing chapters of our lives and hopping into the next one, even when something feels unresolved.
* How to handle regrets and overthinking with wisdom and grace, especially when changes feel out of our control.
* How discernment can help us take small, possibly imperfect steps towards the best direction we can see.
* The unique role of mystics and conscious seekers during the intensity of eclipse season, Saturn-Neptune conjunction, and Mercury Retrograde in Pisces.
* Squares to Uranus in Taurus and the conflict between ideals and capacity.
