Belief, Being, & BEYOND!
What do you believe—and how did you come to believe it? Welcome to Belief, Being, & BEYOND, where curiosity meets spirituality, and we explore the beliefs, practices, and experiences that shape how we move through the world. We dialogue with authors, teachers, witches, shamans, pagans, occultists, and other curious souls about what they believe—and what might lie BEYOND. Join Granddaughter Crow (aka Dr. Joy Gray), a Medicine Woman, Shamanic Practitioner, and member of the Navajo Nation as she interviews authors and creators on what they believe in. If you're looking for a place to explore different spiritual perspectives, ideas and practices then this is the podcast for you! Jenny C Bell, a witch with over three decades of experience, joins as a co-host and often uses her degree in literature to take a deeper look at an author's work. There’s no spiritual pop quiz here, and no one has all the answers. We ask questions, explore different perspectives, wander down a few fascinating rabbit holes, and sometimes discover something that makes us see the world a little differently—the BEYOND. Bring your curiosity. Bring your questions. Bring your beliefs, and ability to wonder. You may come looking for answers. You’ll probably leave with a few more concepts. And perhaps a new idea about what lies BEYOND! Connect with Granddaughter Crow at www.granddaughtercrow.com & on social media @GranddaughterCrow Connect with Jenny C. Bell at www.jennycbell.com & on IG @ourcovencommunity.
Episodes
You’ve heard people talk about “crystal grids,” but what does gridding actually mean, and how do you do it without turning it into a complicated craft project? We sit down with author Jenny C. Bell and Granddaughter Crow to answer a community question with real, usable steps that work whether you have a huge crystal collection or just a few stones you love.
We break gridding down to its e...
Ghosts are not just jump scares and cold spots. When we actually compare notes across witchcraft, occult practice, mediumship, and lived experience, the “paranormal” starts to look a lot more like a normal part of being human.
We sit down as a roundtable with Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of Spirits and The Weiser Field Guide to the Paranormal, plus Jake Morningstar, author o...
The fall equinox can feel like a line in the calendar, but it is also experienced in your body and your lifestyle. We take a listener question from our community and explore what it actually means to celebrate the autumn equinox when your weather, your schedule, and even your landscape do not match the classic “crunchy leaves” picture.
From Granddaughter Crow’s shamanic perspe...
You can learn a lot of tarot keywords and still feel stuck the moment a real question hits. We wanted to get underneath that frustration and talk about what actually makes divination work: listening, timing, symbolism, and the courage to respond. Our guest JoAnna Ferrar (Llewellyn author, priestess, divination teacher, and professional violinist) brings a rare blend of musical training and spiritual practice that...
Your day is already full, so we’re not here to hand you another impossible checklist. We’re here to help you turn what you already do into a daily ritual that actually feels nourishing, grounded, and doable. Jenny C Bell and I start with the simplest foundation: if you have a routine, you can make it spiritually minded. That can be as small as greeting the sun or the moon, taking one breath before cof...
The land is not a backdrop. It is a relationship and once you start treating it that way, your whole spiritual life changes.
We’re joined by Elyse Welles, best-selling author of Sacred Wild and a modern Greek priestess devoted to reviving earth temple arts of the Mediterranean. We talk about how her childhood split between Greece and rural Pennsylvania made land-connection feel normal, not myst...
A crystal catches your eye, an herb keeps showing up in your yard, or a particular animal won’t leave your thoughts. Is that random, or is it relationship? We lean into a community question that goes straight to the heart of nature-based spirituality: how do you choose your allies, the energies you work with in ritual, spell work, and daily practice, and what if they’re choosing you?
We talk about &ldq...
What is Slavic Paganism in the Words of a Serbian American | Anna Urošević Applegate author "Slava!"
Rev. Anna Urošević Applegate sits down with Granddaughter Crow and Jenny C Bell to share. As a first-generation Serbian American, she grew up moving between languages, calendars, and expectations, carrying both the ache of otherness and the seed of a powerful spiritual skill: living in liminal space. We talk about how that early tension later becomes a doorway into ancestral reverence, animism, and Slavic polythe...
You don’t need to pick a box and live inside of it; you might need a label to express parts of self to others. We love to take on a community question we hear: do witches, pagans, and spiritual seekers actually need labels, or are all these titles just noise? From “crystal witch” to “eclectic witch,” we talk honestly about why naming your path can feel empowering at first, and why it...
Tonight’s Roundtable Dialogue is on the Topic of Community – moreover spiritual community. Seasonally, it is autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere and kids are going back to school, and there is a community focus before the winter sets in.
Our spiritual practices can range from being a solitary practioner, to being a part of a larger coven, kindred, or even a small witchy book club.
Communi...
We sit down for a community Q&A with Granddaughter Crow and Jenny C. Bell to unpack what spirit guides are, how a spirit guide team can include ancestors, animals, nature spirits, angels, deities, crystals, and more, and why none of it needs to fit into a spiritual hierarchy. We talk about how guides can even meet you in forms you can accept right now, and how that relationship can last for a season, a lifeti...
Ever picked up a stone and felt like it had something to say, but you weren’t sure how to listen? We’re joined by Nicholas Pearson, one of today’s leading voices in crystal healing and gemstone magic, to make crystal divination feel clear, grounded, and doable. We talk about his work on Crystal Divination and why the best results come from a surprising mix of structure, patience, and play.

This is a segment called A Witch & A Shaman (W&S) where Jenny C Bell & Granddaughter Crow sit down to answer questions. This question came to us from Our Coven Community, “Can you share more about channeling, your experience and how it works?”
The weirdest moment can be the most revealing: you hear yourself say “we,” you choose words you never use, and afterward you wonder where...
Your spiritual practice can be powerful and still leave you wiped out. If you’ve ever felt a ritual hangover, floated out of your body for days, or tried to “push through” with borrowed energy, this conversation is a reset. We’re joined by Rene Collins, a magician, musician, and long-time qigong practitioner who teaches Magical Qigong for the pagan community, and he brings a grounded, prac...
A scarab on the cover isn’t just pretty design, it’s a symbol of transformation. We’re joined by Marcella Kroll, a psychic medium, occult practitioner, and spiritual counselor, to talk about The Initiates Oracle and why this deck is built for ritual, integration, and real-life rebirth rather than quick fortune telling. We get into how symbol, color, and archetype can speak straight to the body, ...
Spellwork does not belong to an elite club. When Judika Illes sits down with us, we get a clear, grounded reminder that if you are a human with desires or fears, you already have the raw material for magic. We talk about why her work, from Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells to her Oracle decks, lands with so many people: it makes witchcraft accessible, digestible, and practical without losing its depth.
We also ...
You can be spiritually open without being spiritually exposed, and that line is what we explore with spiritual protection that works in real life. We get questions all the time about how to protect your energy, why it matters, and what “protection” even means if you are an empath, a witch, a highly sensitive person, or someone doing any kind of intuitive or healing work. We start with the truth that c...
UFO stories are easy to dismiss until you look at what serious researchers actually wrestle with: physical traces on the ground, multi-witness sightings, “unknowns” admitted by official programs, and a strange pattern of spiritual aftereffects that do not fit a simple materialist story. We sit down with Dr. Jonathan Kendall, a practicing nephrologist and the author of The Metaphysics of UFOs, to ask a...
Your hands are not a sentence, they are a story you can edit. We sit down with professional palmist and author Paula Victoria Dai to clear up the biggest palmistry myths, from the fear around the lifeline to the idea that a reading locks you into one fate. Palmistry, as Paula practices it, is a living study of lines, mounts, texture, and hand shape that reflects your energy, patterns, and choices, and it can chan...
The Moon has been shaping life on Earth since before humans had words for wonder, and we don’t have to treat that as metaphor. We sit down with Lady Jesamyn Angelica, priestess, ritualist, and oracle, to talk about the Moon as a real force: tides, water, bodies, evolution, and the quiet ways lunar cycles show up in our moods, choices, and rituals. If you’ve ever felt pulled toward moon magic but wante...
