Hi Witches

This is possibly one of my favourite interviewees on the podcast and in my humble opinion one of the most important topics to delve into!

Neesheta talks us through her role as a death doula and ultimately the topic of death.

Neesheta carries the role of Oracle, Death Doula, and Movement Witch. She grew up with both sides of her family practicing magic, and many of these practices built the foundation for her magic today. She is also a Hekatean initiate and graduate of The Covina Institute under Dr. Cyndi Brannen, where she also serves as the Institute’s Seasonal Movement Guide. Neesheta is also a retired cultural and aerial dance studio owner with over 14 years’ experience teaching various dance styles including cultural, aerial, sensual, and esoteric movements. She believes that her experiences and her studies in Anthropology and End Of Life Planning have helped blend cultures and traditions into her teaching, dance, magical and mindfulness practices, and in helping others prepare to live the life, they desire, before their earthly death. Socials (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads) : @NeeshetasMagick

I must of course issue a trigger warning with this episode but I hope it will bring you some comfort too!
