Profiling New Spirits
Sfinga and Key tackle another hotly-requested topic: how to identify, divine on, and profile new spirits that may be approaching your court. In addition to considering temporary wanderers, distant allies of your spirits that may be stopping by to visit, and also those interested in coming by for only a season or a year, they consider some of the signs by which to recognize the activity of a new being that is staying around and how best to verify their presence and qualities through divination and the authority and protection of your existing spirits and ancestors. The Dragon and Owl also discuss some of the tools they bring to a spiritual court investigation and how folks can come to tease out and understand the qualities of new spirits from the background of ambient existing phenomena.

The History and Magic of Coffee
Key finally gets the chance to share all about one of his most enduring loves: specialty coffee. In addition to considering its magical virtues and uses in sorcery and divination, from grounds to beans and liquid altogether, he explores the notion of tasting notes as a microcosm into how we learn to scry, perceive spirits, and identify information via remote viewing. This is a real nerdy one!Support us on patreon.com/TheFrightfulHowls .
Druggist's Catalogues and Conjure
Key leads an overview of some of the basic history behind druggist's catalogues, receipt books, formularies, and their jump to and impact on full-time spiritual supply stores.
