What are we actually being protected from—and how do we call in the support we need to stay grounded, whole, and connected to ourselves?
This week, Tami Simon speaks with Michelle Cassandra Johnson—author, mystic, activist, spiritual director, and racial equity educator—about her new book, You Are Protected: Invoking Spiritual Support to Sustain Your Energy. Drawing on ancestral wisdom, archetypes, elemental energies, and spell work, Michelle offers a grounded, practical vision of protection—not as armor against the world, but as a way of staying rooted in our own center.
Join Tami and Michelle to explore:
- What we’re really protected from, and why protection isn’t about building walls
- Naming malevolent energies—from collective distraction to war and disconnection
- How to call on ancestors, archetypes, and elemental energies (mountains, trees, water) for support
- The practice of “spiritual hygiene,” and why it matters as much as physical or mental hygiene
- How to cast a simple protection spell using salt—no cauldron required
- Creating a sigil: turning an intention into a symbol you can charge and work with
- Michelle’s own birth story, and why she calls a traumatic beginning “auspicious”
- Calling in collective protection for our human family during a precarious time
Whether you keep a cauldron of your own or have never cast a spell in your life, this conversation offers real tools—and real permission—to protect your energy, tend your spirit, and stay open-hearted even in difficult times.
