Practically Magick: Samhain, Veils, and Work Anxiety

About this episode

This episode of Practically Magick opens during the week of Halloween, as Courtney Pearl marks the start of Samhain and invites listeners to notice whether the veil feels thin in their own in-between moments of the day. From there the conversation turns to a question many people bring to tarot readings: what to do with a career that drains you when your real passions feel separate from making a living. Courtney reflects on the modern nine-to-five, the economic pressure many listeners are feeling right now, and why a tarot card like Temperance can point toward the imbalance in your work life. She shares her own history of stepping away from acting and teaching, the stable-income choices that shaped those decisions, and the subconscious beliefs that keep passion and paycheck on opposite sides of the room. Along the way she draws a line between career and purpose, noting that the two don't always align and that both can be honored. Listeners are invited to consider where they first learned that work and joy must be separate, and whether that belief still serves them. Courtney also talks about Prism Healing sessions for working through money beliefs and about her own book ideas. Subs
