In the Weedz

On this episode, we sat down with our friends & local practitioners of NEPA: Tim & Tina who are also the hosts of our popular weekly meditation & the bi-weekly 'Sin-Day School' held at the store. We talked a bit about Tina's background and practice and just had a good old-fashioned bullshit session... the kind of conversations that happen every day at the Pickeyweedz counter.

It was a great time and we hope you enjoy th...

On this episode, we continued with our focus series featuring practitioners of NEPA by hosting a long-time customer and friend of the Weedz...

This conversation could have well continued for hours but we had to open the store at some point...

In this episode, we grabbed a handful of the books found on the top shelf that people look at but don't always recognize for what they are.  From Agrippa to Yeats to the Orphic Hymns - there lies a treasure trove of esoteric knowledge.  The shiny books may be the first ones you read but don't deny yourself the wonder that lies beyond the entry level. 

Not quite bibliomancy as we weren't seeking answers to inquiry; rather, we read t...

On this episode, we were joined by Tim Anderson for the debut of our new podcast series "Practitioners of NEPA" in which we feature local practitioners of the esoteric.

Tim talks about how his intuitive work ...

In this episode, we discussed being 'triggered' by others, especially from the onslaught of curated sound bites and media feeds.  We discussed the ramifications of having an emotional reaction to stimuli or provocation and possibly a better way to receive and/or respond to it. 

In addition to a healthy dose of skepticism, it is also a great idea to develop some thicker skin especially when interacting with others.
