Callie Little is a polyamorous, pansexual witch who illustrated and co-authored my favorite tarot deck, Every Little Thing You Do is Magic, and its incredible companion book, which offers readers the opportunity to deepen their relationship with the cards and their own intuition. I reached out to them to replace two cards my dog had chewed up and they responded saying they checked out the pod and wanted to come on if I'd have them. IF I'D HAVE THEM?! I melted and exploded and said absolutely yes, thank you, Universe, and the results were glorious.In this episode:going from “I’ll try anything once” to… wait, I actually have standards now??why you don’t have to earn your desires or make them make sense to anyone elsethe difference between real connection and just doing what you think you’re supposed to dothe subtle ways patriarchy trains you to give up your autonomy and call it lovethat moment when something clicks and you’re like… oh, this isn’t a choice, this is a cagehow to stay open without ignoring every red flag in front of your facea definition of cheating that might rearrange your brain a littlewhat it actually looks like to be yourself first, even in a long-term relationshiphow to stop spiraling in shame and start getting curious insteadwhy you keep wanting people who aren’t that great for you (and what that’s really about)building relationships based on choice instead of fear, obligation, or habita recurring theme: you’re allowed to want what you want. yes, even that.also:tarot as a tool for figuring your shit out (more useful than you think)book recs that will absolutely mess with your understanding of love in a good wayIt's SO GOOD, pinecones!FOLLOW CALLIE:Callie's Instagram: @goshcallieCallie's Substack: The Village WitchCallie's podcast: The Pocket Coven (apologies for calling it the Pocket Oracle in the episode!)Purchase the Every Little Thing You Do is Magic Tarot Deck and Companion BookBook Callie for tattoo workAll things Callie: www.callielittle.comBook & Substack recommendations in this episode:The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet HardyMatriarchal Blessing on Substack by Celeste DavisSpells for Transmuting Limerence Into Liberation by Yumi SakugawaLove in a F*cked Up World by Dean SpadePolysecure by Jessica FernPolywise by Jessica FernOpen Deeply by Kate LoreeAdult Braces by Lindy WestSUPPORT THE SHOW!Subscribe to Samia's SubstackVenmo: @Samia-MountsCashApp: $SamiaMountsLove ya, pinecones!xoxo,SamiaMentioned in this episode:Get 15% off Kenneth Play's Beyond Satisfied Pro course at www.kennethplay.com/closetedGet a 15% discount on all FirmTech products!Use code CLOSETED at check-out.Get a 15% discount on all FirmTech products!Use code CLOSETED at check-out.
