Belief, Being, & BEYOND!
What do you believe—and how did you come to believe it?
Welcome to Belief, Being, & BEYOND, where curiosity meets spirituality, and we explore the beliefs, practices, and experiences that shape how we move through the world. We dialogue with authors, teachers, witches, shamans, pagans, occultists, and other curious souls about what they believe—and what might lie BEYOND.
Join Granddaughter Crow (aka Dr. Joy Gray), a Medicine Woman, Shamanic Practitioner, and member of the Navajo Nation as she interviews authors and creators on what they believe in. If you're looking for a place to explore different spiritual perspectives, ideas and practices then this is the podcast for you! Jenny C Bell, a witch with over three decades of experience, joins as a co-host and often uses her degree in literature to take a deeper look at an author's work.
There’s no spiritual pop quiz here, and no one has all the answers. We ask questions, explore different perspectives, wander down a few fascinating rabbit holes, and sometimes discover something that makes us see the world a little differently—the BEYOND.
Bring your curiosity.
Bring your questions.
Bring your beliefs, and ability to wonder.
You may come looking for answers.
You’ll probably leave with a few more concepts.
And perhaps a new idea about what lies BEYOND!
