Curse Breakers

Witchcraft without shadow work is just cosplay.

We said what we said.
This week, Jacki and Storm throw down the velvet gloves and ask the question no one wants to answer: has magic been reduced to a vibe, a filter, a shortcut? From seven-day candle rituals to gritty basement meetups, they take you back to when magic was messy, sacred, and earned—not sold back to you as aesthetic witchery.
Expect personal stories, tough love, and a whole lot of fire as they explore:
Why shadow work is the missing ingredient in modern spellcasting
The real cost of turning sacred practice into scrollable content
What gets lost when we trade reverence for reach
And why “fast magic” often falls flat (even if it smells nice)
This isn’t gatekeeping. It’s a reclamation. Whether you're an old-school witch or a new mystic wondering why your spells aren’t landing—this one’s for you.
Hit play if you're ready to stop playing witch and start practicing magic.

What If Your Anxiety Is Actually Psychic?

What if your anxiety isn’t a flaw, but a magical message from your soul? In this episode of Curse Breakers, Jacki Smith and Storm Cestavani crack open the mystical truth behind anxiety and why it might actually be your intuition trying to get your attention.
 Is anxiety a symptom or a spiritual signal? Why empaths and psychics often feel everything all the timeCan anxiety be used as magical fuel instead of something to fix?
Storm shares the history of anxiety in the DSM (and why it still misses the point), while Jacki dives into how to work with anxiety in real time—without bypassing, stuffing, or numbing out. Think candles, crystals, mythic archetypes, and yes, even a little Saturn Return therapy.
Plus: The lie that anxiety is always “bad,” what digital overstimulation is really doing to your magic, and why your nervous system might just be psychic.
Listen now to turn your anxiety into a source of power.

Jacki shares insights from her class “Don’t Be a Dick”, breaking down the ethical triangle—values, morality, and ethics—and why your personal magic needs a code of conduct. Storm dives into the astrological perspective on spell timing and why some spells work like a charm (while others blow up in your face).
🔥 Plus: The real reason your money magic isn’t working, how social media is making magical ethics messier, and why your own values might be sabotaging your spellwork.
⚡ Don’t miss this deep (and hilarious) discussion on magical ethics!

THIS WEEKS ASTROLOGY - December 9, 2024 – December 15, 2024
Monday, December 9, 2024 – Tuesday, December 10, 2024
This week’s VIP is Mercury, who turns direct on Sunday.  Translation: the chaos parade is coming to an end. The fog lifts, the lost emails find their way to your inbox, and the tech gremlins start packing. But remember—baby steps, okay? We’re still in the post-shadow; it's like hangover recovery. Proceed gently and mindfully!
The Moon in Aries: When the Moon moves into Aries, it sparks energy for starting new projects, physical activity, and assertive conversations. Despite Mars and Mercury retrograde, this time encourages independence, spontaneity, and breaking free from procrastination with caution. It's ideal for facing blocks, embracing courageous self-care, and igniting creativity without overthinking. Use the fiery Aries energy to act decisively, but remember to temper impulsiveness with reflection, making thoughtful moves that respect both your needs and current limitations.
Recommended:  Energy/Will (Blessed Herbal)
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
The Moon in Taurus: On Wednesday, the Moon moves out of Aries and into Taurus. When the Moon is in Taurus, it’s time to ground yourself in the tangible. Pay bills, make a delicious meal, take a hot bath—go step by step and savor every moment. Taurus wants comfort, security, and a steady pace, so slow down and manifest from a place of practicality. Forget rushing! Embrace the natural world, value stability, and treat yourself well. Remember: it’s about steady progress, so a little indulgence never hurts.
Recommended:  Do You! (The Moon – Astro Magic)
Thursday, December 12, 2024
Venus in Aquarius in opposition to Mars Rx in Leo:  Alright, folks, here we go—Venus is doing her “let’s love everyone” dance, while Mars retrograde in Leo is more like, “Yeah, I’m gonna need some alone time… but I still want attention.” Relationships could get a bit spicy, with lots of mixed signals. It’s like trying to hug a lion that’s not sure if it’s in the mood. Best advice? Be charming, but give space—after all, even lions need a little downtime to roar again.
Recommended: Home Blessing (Affirmation)
Friday, December 13, 2024
Mercury Rx in Sagittarius sextile Venus in Aquarius:  Picture Mercury retrograde, our beloved chaos agent, holding hands with Venus in Aquarius—think "quirky romance meets retro reruns." Conversations from the past resurface, but now with a twist: they’re smarter, freer, and maybe even funny this time around. It’s a cosmic do-over with an Aquarian flair, perfect for patching things up or reinventing stale connections. Just remember, with Aquarius involved, expect the unexpected—awkward? Maybe. Brilliant? Absolutely. Love with a side of eccentricity.
Recommended:  Love Me!  (Aunt Jacki’s Hoodoo)
Saturday, November 14, 2024
The Moon in Gemini: When the Moon's in Gemini, it's time to let your inner chatterbox run wild. Chat, write, learn, juggle ten tasks simultaneously—Gemini loves it all. Curious? Good, because it's the perfect time to explore new ideas or Google those random late-night questions. Remember, Gemini energy isn’t about deep soul-searching—it’s about light-hearted fun, witty banter, and keeping things interesting. So, grab your journal, your to-do list, and maybe a trivia game.
Recommended:  Success (Blessing Kit)
Sunday, December 15, 2024
Mercury Direct in Sagittarius: On Sunday, Mercury turns direct in Sagittarius.  Mercury in Sagittarius is like putting your mind on a rocket ship aimed at the horizon. Embrace learning, dive into philosophical debates, and don’t forget to pack your sense of humor—Sagittarius loves a good laugh! Set grand goals, get lost in big ideas, and maybe even get out of your comfort zone. Just don’t let that enthusiasm lead to foot-in-mouth syndrome—remember, boldness is great, but tact is still in style!
