Behind the Scenes of Crystal Forest Guardians Oracle: A Deep Dive into Creative Process of an indie deck

Welcome to The Bell Witch Podcast, "Witching in the 21st Century"

In episode 75 of The Bell Witch Podcast, host Swailes welcomes back Genna from Sydney, Australia, a crystal witch and creator of the 'Crystal Forest Guardians' independent oracle deck. They discuss Genna’s creative journey, blending crystals and animals into intuitive oracle cards, her experiences with motherhood, and the supportive witchcraft community.

Genna shares insights into the symbolism of her favourite cards, her self-funded publishing process, and future plans for a companion spell book. The episode also features personal updates from the host, event recaps, and encouragement for listener engagement within the indie spiritual podcast community.

Swailes the Friendly Green Witch also updates us on her recent visits, volunteering at Witchfest International and visiting The Dark Secrets exhibition at The Vaults in Waterloo, London.
