Puritans and Jack Parsons with Heather of Magic in the US
8 maj 2024 |
85 min
This narrative explores the life of John Whiteside Parsons, a pioneering rocket engineer and co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Aerojet Engineering Corporation, who also deeply engaged in occult practices and the propagation of Thelema in the US. Despite contributing significantly to rocket science, Parsons' involvement with the OTO, his relationships, and controversial life events, including his interactions with L. Ron Hubbard and his mysterious death, underscore the complexities of his character. The broader discussion reflects on the impact of belief systems on society, the importance of open-mindedness towards diverse spiritual practices, and the cultural and historical significance of occultism and esoteric beliefs. The narrative encourages a respectful exploration of various belief systems while considering the intricate relationship between science, spirituality, and personal beliefs.

David Shi, the author of the recently-released book "Spirit Voices", is a shamanic worker and folk magic practitioner who primarily engages in traditional North Asian forms of shamanism. He is primarily of Manchurian descent, but can also trace ancestry to Mongolian, Chinese, Korean, as well as a little Tungus Siberian and ancient Central Asian Turkic heritage as well. Raised in a household that incorporated both Southeast Siberian and North Chinese practices, David has dedicated his spare time to the study of the spiritual traditions of his ancestors and of greater Eurasia. Recognized as a sagaasha/ongodtengertei, a future shaman prior to initiation, among both Mongolian and Korean shamans, David’s practices are deeply rooted in spirit work in which ancestral spirits and land spirits are called to empower all workings. David’s readings incorporate a combination of Tarot, Bones, Jaw-harp, as well as Mongolian stone divination (known as Kumalak in Turkic Central Asia).

Christian Witchcraft, Early Christianity and a Medieval Genius with Sara Raztresen

0:00- Interview with Sara
36:07-Dish of the Week
42:56- Tea Time: Christian Gnosticism
1:09:13-: Hildegard of Bingen
Sara Raztresen is a Slovene-American writer, Christian witch, and graduate of Emerson College's Popular Fiction and Publishing MFA program. She has had short stories, non-fiction, and poems published across several online literary magazines, and her debut novel, The Glass Witch, explores the personal themes that mark her own life: struggles of cultural identity, religious misinterpretation, and self determination. As the daughter of an immigrant raised with one foot in two worlds, and a person drawn to all things mystical and strange, Sara draws on her cultural heritage and religious experiences, blending them with the fantasy of her work. Her writing is an attempt to explain the world she sees, deliver the insight she gathers, and discover how all the world's pieces fit together.

Mauricio Garcia is an animistic perfumer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work aims to nourish the relationship between perfume, people and the more-than-human world. Mauricio’s inspiration is born from the fragrant ecology of the Pacific west coast—the marine fog, redwood forests, and the golden grassland hills home to butterflies, coyotes and many other beings. Rooted in perfumery’s ancient origins and ancestral veneration, Herbcraft Perfumery is a boutique fragrance studio that specializes in the creation of fine fragrances, fragrant enchantments and ritual anointments. Mauricio draws upon 18 years of working with and learning from herbalists, medicine makers, master craftswomen of perfumery, spiritual practitioners and, of course, plants and spirits themselves. He is an advocate for perfumery’s stewardship of the environment and its reclamation as sacred substance.

Spirituality of the African Diaspora and an Eight Legged Trickster with Brittney
4 maj 2023 |
74 min
Come Brittney and me as we talk about the strength of the people of the African Diaspora and how sometimes spiders can carry leopards.
(Note: The free people of Jamaica were the "Maroons" not the Marooners and it was King Alfonso not King Frederick, sorry!)
Brittney is the creator and owner of Lightwork by Brittney. She is an empathic intuitive who was called to live her truth in 2015. After years of ignoring the calling, a multitude of life altering events led her to finally surrender to journeying her path. She decided, in 2020, to share what was gifted to her by the Divine. What first started as making smudge bundles for herself, family and friends quickly became more as she also peeled back more layers of herself. She believes that everyone has the ability to unlock their God given purpose, as everyone possesses them. With strong roots in her Caribbean/ Hispanic lineage, she has always been surrounded by all things in a spiritual sense.
