105.5.5. Magic & Mental Health: Boundaries & Psychic Self Defense Pt. 2

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one’s magical practice.

Questions the panel will address: how do we define and delineate boundaries in our magical work and interpersonal lives? Is there intersection between how you protect yourself from potentially unhelpful magical forces and potentially unhelpful people? What are some experiences in this area others might find useful to hear about? How do we define psychic self defense? How do we practice it? What are some experiences or tips we'd share?

Luxa also shares an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent centered magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent, and providing consent education to magically inclined people.
