How can we understand Sauron and the One Ring? Sam and Frodo’s “Bromance for the Ages” in LotR. The Ringwraiths or Nazgûl and their power to create fear. The wizard, Gandalf the Grey and the White, the creation of Middle Earth and much more!Luxa shares some poetry snacks form Tolkien and an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent forward magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent, and providing consent education to magically inclined people. Thanks for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!
