Show Notes
In this very special episode, Lisa and Sarah share The Real Question’s conversation between chaplain Mauricio Bruce and author Brooke Williams (Encountering Dragonfly: Notes on the Practice of Re-enchantment). Together they explore synchronicity, Jung’s active imagination, and what it means to live an enchanted life today.
Afterward, Lisa and Sarah return with “How’s Tricks?”—beetles, dragonflies, mysterious cats, and dreams included—and reflect on how coincidences, storytelling, and even math (hello, Ramsey Theory!) can help us practice re-enchantment in a skeptical world.
Plus: listener mail on serendipity in Wellington and a dive into active imagination.

Lisa's tricks are running dangerously low, but fortunately Sarah has a plethora to share! From mysterious spider encounters that might just be messages from the universe, to magnificent Scottish mushrooms, and some very exciting news about a new familiar, Sarah's cup runneth over.
On this episode, Lisa and Sarah ask when self-empowerment becomes self-importance. They get into spiritual superiority, manifestation, main character syndrome, glamour magic, and what happens when the algorithm starts masquerading as an oracle.
For our sixth instalment of Tarot Vin, we’re pairing The Hierophant with Grenache and asking the cards about the collective.
Lisa has a confession: she came dangerously close to breaking the Are We Witches? strict no-hexing policy.
