In this episode of Coffee and Divination, I’m joined once again by Irene Glasse — Heathen Witch, teacher, author, and spiritworker.
Irene is the co-author, with Caine Dreamwalker, of the newly released Foundations of Witchcraft: A Blackfeather Mystery School Training Manual, from Crossed Crow Books, as well as Blackfeather Mystery School: The Magpie Training. She is also a contributing writer to Llewellyn’s Witch’s Sun Sign series and Sabbats Almanacs, a Commissioned Lay Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Frederick, and the lead organizer of Frederick CUUPS.
We begin our chat discussing the divinatory experience that inspired Blackfeather Mystery School, and the question at the heart of Foundations of Witchcraft: what skills and practices actually help someone become a capable, grounded Witch?
Irene and I talk about spirit communication and discernment, knowing your own internal voice, and using divination to help confirm and clarify messages you've received. We also explore Elemental Life Sculpting, magical agency, guising and altered energetic states, trance states, and the importance of maintaining foundational practices even as our magical work becomes more advanced.
It's always lovely to speak with Irene, and this conversation went in some wonderful directions. I hope you enjoy, and let me know your thoughts, as always!

The Diviner’s Pathway — Registration Now Open
Registration is now open for the founding cohort of The Diviner’s Pathway, my new six-week live course in nature-led divination.
This intensive course will meet weekly beginning November 10, 2026, working across tarot, runes, pendulums, dreams, and the basics of omen recognition, while developing the deeper skills that connect those practices: asking better questions, cultivating spiritual relationships, and learning to listen more clearly.
This first cohort will be a small, close-knit group — only eight students total — so if you’ve been interested in studying divination with me in a more hands-on way, take a look at the full course information and registration here:
