What if transformation wasn’t something you bought—but something you remembered?
What if the tools we’ve been told are superficial—scissors, dye, glitter, eyeliner—are actually the sacred implements of shapeshifters, witches, healers, and rebels?
And what if hair—yes, hair—wasn’t just a style, but a spell?
In this radiant, revolutionary episode of Your Art Is A Spell, Edgar Fabián Frías welcomes the extraordinary Opal Starlight into the portal. A hairstylist, witch, and intuitive guide based in the Bay Area, Opal has spent decades reclaiming hair as a medium of magic, gender liberation, ancestral connection, and spiritual transformation.
Together, Edgar and Opal traverse the sacred terrain of adornment, aging, nonbinary beauty, and the act of reclaiming our bodies as altars. From celebrity salons in Beverly Hills to a spell-cast garden during lockdown to the dreamy sanctuary of Magic Spell Studio, Opal’s journey is a living testimony to the fact that art, identity, and healing are inseparable.
This isn’t beauty work. This is soul work.
And it’s not about conforming. It’s about becoming.
🎧 In this glittering, grounding episode, you’ll discover:
💇♀️ Why a haircut can be a psychic transmission
🌙 How gray hair is a wild blessing—and a portal to personal liberation
🧿 What it means to break up with the Western beauty industry and reclaim ritual
🌈 How gender-affirming haircuts can become ceremonies of self-recognition
🌸 Why nature—maximalist, sparkly, lush—is the true muse behind adornment
🔥 How shedding old identities can become compost for your rebirth
🌍 Why creating safe spaces for queer and trans beauty is sacred activism
💖 And how your outer transformation can catalyze your inner awakening
This episode is for anyone who’s ever stood in front of a mirror and longed to see their real self reflected back.
For the ones who dye their hair to reclaim their autonomy.
For the ones growing out their grays like a crown.
For the nonbinary babes learning to feel beautiful on their own terms.
For anyone healing their relationship to their reflection.
This episode is a ritual. A mirror. A spell.
And it’s a love letter to the possibility that every cut, every curl, every strand, every sparkle can bring us one step closer to who we truly are.
✨ Listen now and remember: you were never meant to be invisible.
You are meant to shimmer.
You are meant to change.
You are meant to cast spells with your very presence.
Because your art is a spell—and your body is its altar. 💫
