About this episode:
Hannah from Mystic Cryptid is a tarot reader, spell candle maker, pop-up market organiser, and self-described favourite Midwestern cryptid. She joins Bex for one of the most varied, funniest, and most warmly human conversations in the show's history.
What we cover:
- The second time Hannah had to publicly announce she does not offer topless tarot reading (and what a fake impersonator account sent her cousin).
- Feeding a fake account's username to her Morrigan candle and taking it to the river
- How she started organising pop-up mystic markets in the Twin Cities
- Reading at a vampire ball in Superior, Wisconsin (at a witchy restaurant/oddity shop/bookshop collective)
- Event reading approaches: the menu method, "what messages have you been missing?", and what to do with first-timers who don't know what they want
- Bex's ramen shop reading and the man who wanted a philosophical discussion about death instead of cards
- Getting chased out of the psych ward at Indiana State Sanatorium in broad daylight
- Where tarot messages come from: higher self, source, and claircognizance that sounds too much like your own voice
- Developing mediumship: the spirit guide reading she'd never done before, and how it worked anyway
- The cryptid candle range: Mothman (protection), Bigfoot (strength), Loch Ness (vitality), Siren (glamour), Jackalope (magic and whimsy)
- The abundance spell that manifested fifty coffee cups
- Small hands, large oracle cards, and why there is no wrong way to shuffle
- Grace, internet policing, and why we all need to touch grass
- Community over competition: how local Minneapolis women business owners are supporting each other through everything
