Content warning: This episode includes a brief mention of suicide and the loss of Sarai’s brother. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988. Meredith has officially left the cauldron, so it’s time for a proper reintroduction. This first solo episode is Sarai Johnson telling you who she is, what she does, and why it matters. Sarai is a witch and somatic sexologist who helps post-religious people reclaim their bodies, minds, and souls so they can live a lush life. If you grew up being told your body was bad, your desires were dangerous, your intuition was the devil, and you didn’t belong to yourself, this is for you. Ex-evangelicals, ex-Mormons, ex-anything. Witches and the witch-curious. People who have already done the hard work of deconstructing in their minds, but whose bodies haven’t quite caught up to what they know. That last part is the work. Sarai isn’t here to help you tear things down. You’ve already done that. She’s here for the rebuilding: learning to trust your own knowing again, in your body, so you can choose your life on purpose. Think of her less as the spiritual EMT and more as the proverbial physical therapist who helps you walk again. She does it through Pragmagick, her name for pragmatic magick that works in real life. It’s embodiment, ritual, tarot, energy work, and mythology as a language for meeting yourself, all grounded in the ordinary and the physical. And she follows the LeVar Burton rule of spirituality: she’ll tell you what’s true for her, but you don’t have to take her word for it. You get to decide what your life means. In this episode, Sarai tells the story of the single question that cracked her faith open in a college ministry class, the angry hike that ended with her re-baptizing herself into her own divinity in a creek, how losing her brother changed her relationship to being alive, and why the Tower card always clears the way for the Star. In this episode: Welcome to the solo era, and what Pragmagick is The ministry class question that started it all: “My wife is a Republican, but I’m a Christian” Twenty years of deconstruction, breakup songs with God, and a brief return to leading worship Why religion is like a subscription box you can’t customize Divination tools as a way to externalize intuition (and “mythodology,” dad joke intended) The angry hike, jumping in a creek, and the torn curtain of the internal Holy of Holies How high-control religion teaches us every part of us is not enough, and why every goalpost is a mirage Ken Ham textbooks, dinosaurs, and who Sarai works with now The underworld in between: Leave in Love, homeownership counseling, and systems work on houselessness Losing her youngest brother in 2024, and letting go of the wish to disappear as a coping mechanism The Tower and the Star: what crumbles away, and the pilot light of your soul Making life lush, and why embodied people are too slippery for oppressive systems to hold Liberation as a group project, decolonizing your spirituality, and why your existence is enough The Five of Pentacles coven Pragmagick defined, the LeVar Burton rule, and Sarai as your personal Wendy Ready to reclaim?

"Honest": November 2026 Month-Ahead Reading: Tarot, Astrology & Human Design (Plus a Podcast Transition) Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley open Cauldron Her Daddy to share a November month-ahead reading combining tarot, astrology, and Human Design/Gene Keys, while announcing Meredith is stepping away from the podcast to focus on her Substack (@FourthCup) and Sarai will take over, with possible future guest appearances. Sarai’s tarot theme, inspired by the song “Honest” by Joseph, highlights collaboration and alignment (Three of Pentacles), persistence and civic participation (Nine of Wands), releasing burdens and misplaced responsibility (Ten of Wands), letting go of needing answers and trusting seasonal cycles (Ace of Pentacles), sustainable stewardship and abundance (King of Pentacles), balancing bold leadership with grief (King of Wands with Three of Swords), shadow integration and self-acceptance (The Lovers), and truth-telling in integrity (King of Swords). Meredith then outlines key November transits, including Venus and Mercury retrogrades turning direct, Scorpio new moon, Gemini full moon, and several Leo/Sagittarius aspects emphasizing ego, power, boundaries, courage, and collective change, and closes with where to find both hosts for horoscopes, lunar updates, and sessions.

October Astrology Forecast + Tarot (Wildflowers): Venus Retrograde in Scorpio, Libra New Moon & Taurus Full Moon On Cauldron Her Daddy, Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley preview October with a Dolly Parton–inspired tarot spread based on “Wildflowers” and a detailed astrology forecast. Sarai frames the month’s theme as the Queen of Swords reversed—recognizing resilience by aligning thoughts and emotions—then pulls Page of Cups (release naïveté/idealization), King of Cups (caregiver/martyr expectations), Four of Swords (rest and recovery), King of Pentacles (sustainable abundance), Nine of Wands reversed (stop pre-worrying; trust your survival record), the Hierophant (discernment and self-defined beliefs), Knight of Swords (boldly pursue mystery), and Five of Cups (make space for grief). Meredith outlines key transits: Venus stations retrograde Oct 3 in Scorpio, new moon in Libra Oct 10, Pluto stations direct Oct 15, Mercury retrograde begins Oct 24 in Scorpio, full moon in Taurus Oct 25 as Venus re-enters Libra, and Samhain/Halloween Oct 31, emphasizing boundaries, honesty, rest, and avoiding paranoia or possessiveness.

Energetic Hygiene & Past Lives with Eliel Fionn | Cauldron Her Daddy On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley interview Eliel Fionn, an intuitive with synesthesia who describes learning to filter constant energetic information, developing “dimmer switches,” and using touch and Reiki to read energy. They discuss practical energetic hygiene like clearing during a shower, using salt to cleanse spaces (especially transitional hubs like airports and hospitals), and maintaining personal boundaries. The conversation critiques outsourcing authority to institutions or spiritual leaders, warns about spiritual abuse and perfection narratives, and emphasizes cultivating internal authority and responsibility. Eliel shares perspectives on past-life patterns, soul “majors,” non-linear time, and recurring relationships, including the hosts’ shared themes of rebellion, creating alternatives, and activism. They also explore martyrdom, codependency, grief after suicide, and choosing love over grief, ending with Eliel reading her poem “Quest” and sharing contact details.

Reclaiming Power After Betrayal: Inner Terrain Tarot, Human Design & Astrology for Big Life Decisions On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley welcome Dawn for an inner terrain reading plus human design and astrology to help her navigate turning 40, intense political stress, and a recent breakup after her long-term partner’s poor decisions, complicated by shared house, dog, and bills.

The Pentacle with Courtney Weber Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley interview author and tarot advisor Courtney Weber about her upcoming book, “Pentacle: The Shape of Power.” Courtney discusses the pentacle’s history and meanings, the pentagram vs. pentacle distinction, its links to ancient symbols and later occult sources like the Key of Solomon, and how it became a modern witch symbol through Gerald Gardner, Wicca, and counterculture, including Satanic Panic and ritual theater like the 1960s attempt to “levitate” the Pentagon. The conversation expands into symbolism, honesty about magical sources, rejecting dualistic “good/bad” thinking, how deities reflect human experience, and the effects of patriarchal Christianity, purity culture, and Christian nationalism. Courtney shares upcoming events and where to find her work; Meredith and Sarai share their own offerings. Pre-Order Pentacle: The Shape of Power here! Work with Courtney!

Meredith then outlines key September transits—Mars square Saturn (Sept 1), major shifts and a Virgo New Moon (Sept 10), Venus in Scorpio themes, equity-focused Mercury in Libra aspects, Mabon (Sept 22), Sun–Neptune opposition (Sept 25), Aries Full Moon (Sept 26), Mars into Leo (Sept 27), and Mercury into Scorpio (Sept 30)—and they mention Gene Keys themes, collective grief, and resources to book readings/sessions.

Healing After Loss & Illness: Tarot Chakra Reading, Human Design & Astrology for Lisa On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson (somatic sexologist) and Meredith Holley (astrologer and human design reader) welcome Lisa for a recorded reading after a relocation, an eight-month health crisis that temporarily affected her right arm and hand, and the recent loss of her puppy. Sarai shares an Inner Terrain chakra reading using tarot and Reiki imagery, highlighting themes of need and rebuilding stability (Five of Pentacles), collaboration and creative life work (Three of Pentacles reversed), community support (Three of Cups), truth and authority in the heart (King of Swords reversed), momentum and self-expression (Eight of Wands), clarity and trust in judgment (Justice), steady progress (Knight of Pentacles), and reciprocity (Six of Pentacles).

Music Magick with Dr. arah Grace Hanson Sarai Johnson welcomes Dr. Sarah Grace Hanson—writer of the Substack Substack Shiny Tops and Soda Pops —onto Cauldron Her Daddy to talk about how music transmutes emotion, especially during breakups, and how sharing playlists can be a love language and a communal, almost worship-like experience. Sarah Grace traces her music obsession from a musician father and classical training to discovering 2000s indie rock, building seasonal and monthly playlists inspired by Hanif Abdurraqib, and diving into current favorites like Wednesday and other North Carolina indie twang. They discuss live shows as a meditative, cathartic practice, using loud or sad songs to process feelings, and Sarai’s experience of losing her singing voice and later returning to music after a “serious adult” phase. The conversation also touches on Brandi Carlile, Boygenius, and Sarai’s complicated affection for Taylor Swift. Follow Shiny Tops and Soda Pops here.

Monogamy Games: Love Island USA S8, Reality TV Romance Rules, and What They Reveal **SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT LOVE ISLAND SEASON 8** Hosts Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley introduce their podcast and unpack “monogamy games” in reality TV, focusing on Love Island USA Season 8 (with spoilers) while also naming related shows like The Ultimatum, Love Is Blind, Perfect Match, Married at First Sight, and The Bachelor. They explain Love Island’s structure (villa in Fiji, coupling up, bombshells, Casa Amor, audience votes, movie night, and dumping) and discuss how this season felt intensely monogamy-forward, including purity-culture vibes like calling others “lustful.” They critique cast dynamics around Kenzie, Sincere, Melanie, Sol, and others, highlighting double standards, coercion, and how monogamy narratives shape shame and control. The conversation broadens into autonomy, relationship scripts, polyamory as orientation versus choice, and the idea that compliance doesn’t prevent hurt, ending with resources to connect with their work. 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:23 Monogamy Games Defined 01:49 Reality Show Lineup 06:06 Love Island Basics 07:06 Lip Sync Entrance 10:21 Season Eight Vibes 12:07 Casa Amor Mechanics 12:53 After Sun And Recaps 14:35 Voting And Drama Cycles 15:26 Meet Bryce And Trinity 16:37 The Kissing Discourse 20:07 Bad Takes And Friend Advice 21:46 Bea Versus Melanie Blowup 27:33 Kenzie Astrology And Casting 29:58 Kenzie Early Couplings 32:09 Casa Amor And Movie Night 37:29 Dylan Meltdown Begins 39:59 Secret Makeout Fallout 41:22 Lustful Accusations 42:48 Purity Culture Rules 43:58 Kenzie Versus Sincere 46:49 Sincere and Sol 49:08 Melanie Control Spiral 51:25 Polyamory Meets Monogamy 54:00 Pluto Soulmate Obsession 56:06 Casa Amor Clash 01:00:12 Movie Night Judgment 01:05:02 Healing Root Wounds 01:07:45 Sovereignty Over Scripts 01:22:31 Be Yourself Anyway 01:24:47 Purity Culture Everywhere 01:27:30 Finding Your Shape 01:29:39 Where to Find Us 01:33:20 Final Takeaways Ready to reclaim?

Ethical Sh*t Talk: Steven Forrest, Racism, and Accountability in the Astrology Community CW: This episode talks about race and it is two white women talking about race. If you are white, we encourage you to get over triggers you have and listen. If you are not white, you are absolutely welcome, and also we have stuff to learn from you! Hosts Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley of “Cauldron Her Daddy” discuss racism and power dynamics in spiritual institutions, focusing on astrologer Steven Forrest’s comments on a podcast with Ricky Williams where Forrest used the N-word, made racist statements, and offered revisionist claims about the KKK while noting an ancestor helped found it. They describe community backlash, critiques of Forrest’s initial non-apology, and harassment and DARVO-like defenses from some supporters, emphasizing impact over intent and the need for white people to address racism. They reference broader context of racialized violence, call for following Black astrologers such as Sam Reynolds and Shani Nicole (The Empathic Realist), and note UAC removed Forrest as a speaker after public pressure, with further statements and apologies following.

Avoiding Manipulative Dating Patterns: Tarot, Chakras, Astrology & Human Design Reading (Inner Terrain) On Called and Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson (somatic sexologist/witch) and Meredith Holley (astrologer/human design reader/witch) give their friend Cinnamon Girl an “Inner Terrain” tarot-and-chakra reading blended with astrology and human design to address how to stay open in dating while recognizing and avoiding manipulative, narcissistic dynamics. Sarai pulls tarot and describes chakra landscapes and animal guides (lioness at the root, toucan in the sacral, frog in the solar plexus, black bear at a fiery heart canyon, rabbit in redwoods at the throat, sunglasses at the third eye, lightning in the crown), emphasizing self-trust, celebrating progress, agency, and releasing self-imposed traps. Meredith connects themes to Cinnamon Girl’s chart (Aries–Libra interception, authenticity and anger, partnership boundaries, T-square, current transits and an upcoming second Saturn return) and her human design (generator with emotional authority), highlighting boundaries, believing actions over words, processing emotions without over-rationalizing, and partnering with oneself. Sarai used the Fifth Spirit Tarot deck for this reading. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:15 Cinnamon Girl Question 04:00 Theme Card Six of Wands 06:26 Root Chakra Lioness 09:52 Sacral Jungle Toucan 11:15 Solar Plexus Frog Lovers 13:17 Heart Fire Black Bear 18:35 Throat Redwoods Rabbit 19:57 Third Eye Sunglasses 22:55 Crown Lightning Four Cups 28:45 Trust Your Intuition 32:24 Astrology Interception Aries 37:16 Rage Fear and Signals 39:31 Anger and Racial Stereotypes 40:27 Lightning Anger in Action 42:42 T-Square Power and Boundaries 44:55 Dating Anger and Self Trust 47:37 Transits North Node Spotlight 52:56 Manipulation Neptune and Receipts 56:36 Systemic Racism Dealbreakers 01:00:42 Human Design Emotional Waves 01:08:42 Code Switching and Adaptability 01:15:00 Saturn Return Transformation 01:17:45 Self Dating and Closing Plugs Ready to reclaim?

August 2026 Forecast: “Total Eclipse of the Heart” Tarot + Astrology (Two Eclipses, Venus in Libra & More) Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley introduce their podcast Cauldron Her Daddy and share an August 2026 forecast themed “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” dedicated to Bonnie Tyler’s memory. Sarai’s tarot spread—Emperor, Eight of Wands, Hermit, Death, Knight of Wands, Devil, and an overall Two of Pentacles—focuses on building supportive structures, managing overwhelm, accessing inner wisdom, grieving and transforming old patterns, igniting passion-driven change, releasing oppressive systems and inner critics, and maintaining balance. Meredith then outlines key astrology: Lughnasadh (Aug 1), a total solar eclipse in Leo (Aug 12) and a partial lunar eclipse on the Pisces–Virgo axis (Aug 27), plus notable transits including Venus into Libra (Aug 6), Mercury into Leo (Aug 9) then Virgo (Aug 25), Mars into Cancer (Aug 11), long void-of-course Moon periods (Aug 10; Aug 28–29), and Venus beginning its pre-shadow for an October retrograde (Aug 31), emphasizing rest, integrity in relationships, and practical self-care.

What is Sexology? On Cauldron Her Daddy, hosts Sarai Johnson (somatic sexologist and witch) and Meredith Holley (astrologer, human design reader, and witch) explain what sexology is and how somatic sexology differs from clinical sexology and sexological bodywork. Sarai describes her coaching approach—focused on nervous system regulation, embodiment, self-trust, consent, communication, and releasing shame—rather than diagnosis or therapy. They discuss how purity culture and rape culture shape sexuality through gendered scripts, how mismatch and rejection affect relationships, and why “normal” amounts of sex and cultural standards can obscure real needs and boundaries. Sarai emphasizes sovereignty, exploring gender/sexuality/relationship styles (including monogamy, polyamory, and relationship anarchy), and seeing relationships as flexible rather than a sunk-cost obligation.

Ethical Shit Talk: Boy Mom Culture, Jenny Mollen Backlash & Parenting Without Enmeshment On Cauldron and Her Daddy, Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley discuss the backlash to Jenny Mollen’s Mother’s Day writing and a photo captioned “Your eldest son is the most toxic man you’ll ever date,” examining how “boy mom” and “girl dad” culture can normalize misogyny, gender essentialism, and parent-child enmeshment. They argue that joking about dating a child and competing with a child’s girlfriend crosses boundaries, can echo grooming dynamics, and reflects emotional dependence on children for validation. They contrast this with accountable parenting: respecting children’s sovereignty, teaching consent and privacy, modeling repair after conflict, and supporting adolescents’ relationships without projecting adult needs. They also touch on divorce, grief, generational trauma, and resources for support via Sarai’s coaching and Meredith’s astrology/human design readings. 00:00 Welcome and premise 00:27 Ethical shit talk rules 01:45 Who is Jenny Mollen 02:51 Jason Biggs battery 06:00 The viral boy mom post 07:35 Disturbing vs funny 10:46 Purity culture parallels 14:54 Boy mom enmeshment 18:17 Misogyny and male approval 20:38 Gender essentialism critique 22:32 Backlash and grooming concerns 30:40 Trauma cycles and nuance 33:30 Jenny responds to backlash 37:54 Kids aren't your healing 40:31 Boundaries Break Cycles 43:07 Emotional Incest Dynamics 52:01 Consent Talks By Age 58:35 Repair After Rupture 01:08:04 Grief Divorce And Support 01:13:57 Astrology Transits And Wrap Ready to reclaim?

16: Incubating Revolution: July 2026 Month Ahead Tarot and Astrology In this episode of Cauldron Her Daddy, Sarai Johnson and Meredith Holley share a July 2026 month-ahead astrology forecast and a “You Say You Want a Revolution” tarot spread focused on inner revolution and its collective impact. Sarai pulls Temperance as the month’s theme (alchemical balance amid extremes) and the Oyster as an animal guide (patience, inner treasures, sharing the “pearl”), then reads cards highlighting burnout and productivity culture (10 of Wands), sustainable methodical change (Knight of Pentacles), endurance paired with enjoyment (9 of Wands crossed by 9 of Pentacles), complicity through joylessness (Page of Cups) and accountability (Justice), practical review and pivots (7 of Pentacles), collective emotional care and embodiment (Queen of Cups), and breaking oppressive patterns and systems (The Devil). Meredith then outlines key transits and lunations: Mercury retrograde in Cancer, Jupiter into Leo, Cancer new moon (July 14), Aquarius full moon (July 29), a volatile Mars–Uranus conjunction around July 3–4, and a rare supportive outer-planet alignment mid-month encouraging transformative social change, ending with invitations to act steadily, rest, and be courageously “too much.” Fifth Spirit Tarot Wild Unknown Tarot 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:22 July Revolution Theme 01:21 Temperance Tarot Theme 04:23 Oyster Animal Spirit 06:57 Ordinary World Burden 09:02 Steady Future Vision 13:18 Endurance And Enjoyment 15:12 Complicity And Joy 17:53 Justice Accountability 20:47 Tools And Care 26:16 Devil And Agency 30:41 July Astrology Begins 31:00 Cancer Leo Shifts 34:30 July Lunations Overview 38:29 Early July Tensions 39:53 Chiron Taurus Wounds 40:41 Mars Uranus Fireworks 42:44 Small Steps Temperance 44:26 Revolutionary Daily Habits 45:49 Sun Saturn Reality Check 47:10 Neptune Retrograde Notes 48:17 Venus Enters Virgo 49:53 Cancer Cazimi Clarity 50:44 Relationship Freedom Check 51:57 Cancer New Moon Ritual 54:15 Rare Outer Planet Web 56:55 Casting Spells For Change 59:46 Leo Season Shift 01:01:21 Mercury Direct Integration 01:04:07 Late July Courage Experiments 01:06:21 Flirt Club Full Moon 01:08:11 Be Yourself Change Systems 01:13:46 Wrap Up And Resources Ready to reclaim?
