Description
Hosted by Yarrow Magdalena, Grief Magic explores loss, grief, and healing through storytelling, books, creativity, ritual, and tarot. Each episode looks at how loss reshapes the stories we live by and how we can respond with compassion, imagination, and new possibility.
Made with dreamy, neurodivergent, queer, and sensitive listeners in mind, this podcast offers steady companionship through the wild landscape of grief. Expect softness, meaning-making, and full permission to go at your own pace.
