Also she performs a micro recorder concert, just livin’ her best Shire life. Alysia’s in the flow of writing magic, stunning herself with the brilliance of her writing chops and remembering to love her 3D self.

Alysia is finalising her last Raven Dreams book and finding inspiration in music again amid demanding household transformations. They’re both of the opinion that motherhood is hard, breathing is good, and reading is a safe space.

An Entirely Possible Starsword

Sondra is in data overload recovery (again) after coming down from the excitement of fresh, juicy learnings and is reminding herself to also breathe.

Perceptions of Perverted Minds

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 26 Garion is in the thrall of some intense emotions: fear saturated slave pens, Brill’s surprise ambush and Silk’s bout of hand-to-hand combat with the assassin, anger at the horror of worship in the temple of Torak, and the subsequent draining of his will to destroy it all. Sondra has redesigned and reissued her whole Embodying Earth series of books and must be in alignment because she accidentally created a new book while she was at it. Alysia is in a week of beginnings and nurturing her body, her dreaming, her financial resources, her self-assurance. They’re both ready to welcome abundance into their lives.

Over the Edge

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 25 Garion follows Relg into the darkness of the caves beneath Rak Cthol, climbing up sheer rock for hours to reach the slave pens. He gives Taiba the escaped and dying Marag slave his cloak, and finds out Ctuchic killed her two baby girls, sacrificing them on the altar to Torak. Sondra is intoxicated by the sensuousness of the warming forest. She’s cycled around to connecting with people and her creations again. Alysia is once again experiencing the negatives and positives of corona times, and emerging into a blooming season. They’re both centred in the clearing of whatever is ready to shift: emotional, physical, and spiritual.

Casting Life Illusions

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 23 Garion swims through black sand with sea monsters in the freezing wasteland of an empty sea, while Silk turns inside out in the aftermath of his internal rockslide. There’s a bit of swordplay, axeplay, and rockplay before the company sets course over shaking ground toward the smoking volcano. Sondra is in the depths of despair of ever being able to finish watching Anne with an E, and poking her sore spots. Alysia is toasting her happy birthday with friends and a couple of quiet whiskeys, and shedding happy tears in celebration of new readers in her world.

Learning to Pray on Horseback

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 22 Garion slides back down into the gully with Barak with the news of Silk’s capture. He waits around with everyone else for hours in the dark, spiralling down internally into guilt and grief, remembering Lelldorin for the first time in ages, while Relg prays his way through the rock wall of the pit to rescue Silk. Sondra has been ambushed by a year of work upending down the drain. Now she’s finding the advantages of a startling change of direction. Is panic the appropriate response to her youngest daughter’s discovery of “Pawn of Prophecy” in a favourite second hand book shop and beginning to read the story? Alysia is feeling the synchronicity of her life and being let from the beyond by Wayne Dyer. He’s in her Kindle! She’s moved to tears at the connection and resonance of flowing in a state of non-resistance. They both have favourite rollercoasters but like to avoid vom time. It’s a nice balance.

The Taste of Rock

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 21 Garion meets Silk’s Nadrak “friend” Yarblek and is amazed by the way Aunt Pol behaves when Yarblek asks to buy her. Relg gets a cold and thinks he’s dying. Silk freaks out and flees when he hears the King of the Murgos is on his way. But, too late! Brill has finally captured his man. Sondra is drawing more mystical creatures with layer and layers of colour, and they’re talking to her! She needs to remember that she’s an EFT, Reiki and Meditation therapist and get back to being her own client. Alysia is cleaning out the glug, body, mind and spirit. Anybody else here getting up at 4:45 to meditate for an hour?! She’s being all inspirational and expanded – just totally gorgeous, basically. They’re both wondering what it looks like to level up in their author careers.

Turning Bones to Water

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 20 Garion has become Relg’s confessor—the Ulgo is having a tough time of it this week. Our teenage hero is witness to the horror of a Thull hurling himself from the top of the Eastern Escarpment, but the horror turns to sickness when he hears Silk explain why The Thull had been so willing to die by his own design. Sondra is still drawing and painting, and is NOT chopping her wife’s toe off. She’s been deep in the design and build of her publishing company’s new website, which has caused her to be mean to herself about not writing new words into her books. Alysia has been spending time with friends and drawing on her fave fantasy stories in her drawings. She’s getting more aware of her stressors and remaining centred in the face of close friends who would have her believe in their version of right. They’re both keeping their inspirational wells filled by drawing many threads into their weave of experience, and touch on religious woundings and how we heal from them.

Lust in the Righteous Dust

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 19 Garion and the gang are out of the caves of Ulgo and back in the sunshine on the surface. He inadvertently nominates himself for Relg duty, which basically means to keep the newly emerged cave-dweller calm enough about open sky to not run screaming into the forest. Sondra tries to expound upon the attributes of the peoples of the Belgariad. It’s a hilarious effort. She’s painting and feeling the freshness of new creation and inspiration. Alysia is using drawing to release heavy stuff and maybe it will turn into something more: cha-ching! After all, inspiration is meant to be followed when it strikes.

Drawing in Inspiration

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 18 Relg gets very cooperative, Ce’Nedra is told she has to stay behind, and Garion gets kissed again (and is still clueless about why). The gang makes a plan to sneak into Cthol Murgos. Alysia is in Covid recovery with Supernatural, and she’s wondering what does being a professional writer look like? She’s centred and calm, even after coming through some tumultuous December happenings. Sondra gets passionate about personal responsibility around vaccinations. Her sleep has been disturbed lately, but she’s more focused since returning to work after her proper no-business vacation. And she’s added the title of “Artist” to her collection!

Out of the Darkness

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 17 Ce’Nedra acknowledges to herself that her bad behaviour is due to her continual state of fright since joining the group. The Gorim surprises her by recognising she’s a dryad, and her haughty sass plonks her into a situation of having to listen to a tiresome ancient story. But she’s captivated and learns about UL. Relg antagonises them all and ends up demonstrating why anyone might be willing to put up with his company. Sondra is moving her body more, inside and outside, and has a case of standing-desk joy. Oh, and she’s relieved to no longer have a numb face. Alysia is giddy with the euphoria of completing her Raven Dreams trilogy, and is exploring all the aspects of becoming supernatural. They both relish the deepening process of creative work and enjoy some Supernatural fangirl time as Alysia discovers another first!

Sliding Through Illusions

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 16 Garion enters the portal and descends into the red-tinted dark caves of the Ulgos feeling the weight of the mountain as well as their seemingly bottomless depths. He is profoundly moved by the neverending echo of the Ulgo hymn that has sounded in the caves for thousands of years, and again when he meets the Gorim, knowing instinctively that he is perhaps the holiest man in the world. Sondra is rolling around in yin yoga yumminess and feeling rewarded for writing every day. Her current favourite yoga session is at the end of these show notes if you want to get some yummy, yourself. Alysia is learning to trade cryptocurrency from Aussie teachers and connecting with that new community and loved ones. Her spirit guides are giving clear (and familiar) message from to be of service by writing. Check out her book The Wonder Soul if you enjoy a magical experience now and then. They both greet you, “Yad ho, groja UL.” Send your own greeting in Ulgo with a voice mail message and we’ll play it on the show!

It's Pink Down There!

Magician’s Gambit, Chapter 15 Garion is feeling drained in the aftermath of working magic with Aunt Pol, and even though he’s worried about Durnik being unconscious for so long and the others being injured, he is present enough to prompt his aunt to get Wolf back on track when his grandfather gets lost in the misery of his grief. Belgarath then leads them up the mountain and through the worsening blizzard to the mysterious abandoned city of Prolgu. Sondra has been making plans and opened her shared virtual writing studio once more because mortality paid a visit. Alysia has been enjoying Halloween festivities? But so much peopling has not sparked her fire. It seems they both draw energy from opposite forms of social interaction.
