Podcast episodes
Season 1
Scent in Ancestral Veneration & Día de los Muertos
Hello everyone and welcome to episode five of Amber & Amulets! This episode is delving into the fascinating world of scent and memory. Together, we explore the scientific research behind how our brain processes smells and the powerful connection it has with our memories, and how to utilize certain scents that evoke memories in rituals and practices to help establish a stronger connection with your ancestors. With anything, there are positive and negative memories associated with scent depending on your personal experience, and ancestral veneration will look different for everybody depending on their relationship with their ancestors and loved ones, that they know or don’t know. So wherever you are at in your ancestral veneration journey, take steps to do so in your own stride. 📜 Transcripts available on the website: https://www.amberandamulets.com/ 🎧 Music: Lemon Cake by Kyon https://www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/lemon-cake

Gut-Feelings: Their Possible Role in Intuition & Dream Interpretation
Hello and welcome episode three of Amber & Amulets! In this episode I will be talking about gut-feelings and their possible role with intuition and dreams from a scientific perspective and because of that I will not go so much in depth about folklore or magickal aspects of dreams and other oneiric practices one could use. That is possibly for another episode! This is my UPG, unverified personal gnosis, based on what I have read on the gut-microbiome and brain health, the subconscious, and how I thought about that information in context with the dream and nightmare work I do. ⚝ Cognitive Bias Codex created by John Manoogian III and Buster Benson link: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Cognitive_Bias_Codex_With_Definitions%2C_an_Extension_of_the_work_of_John_Manoogian_by_Brian_Morrissette.jpg 📜 Transcripts available on the website: https://www.amberandamulets.com/ 🎧 Music: Lemon Cake by Kyon https://www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/lemon-cake
