This information in this podcast is absolutely invaluable for anyone needing to reclaim their life, their space, their spirit from unethical nonphysical entities. Samael encourages Jennifer to begin by channeling Lilith in her opening song, and the episode is off and running. This is a powerful and profoundly impactful episode. Samael lays out 10 clear steps to reclaim your sovereignty, or help someone else regain theirs-- including a very powerful channeled message near the end. While typically this episode would be divided into 2, the content is so important and the need, for anyone ready for it, so immediate that it did not feel ethical to make you wait an additional week to obtain all of the steps and tools you would need to take back your life. Resources that were channeled during this episode are contained in a secret webpage on Jenn's website through the link below.
