101.5 Magic & Mental Health: Navigating Desire

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one’s magical practice. For this panel discussion, we address the following questions. How do we navigate the relationship between doing magic for things we desire in healthy ways (and how do we define this) vs. things we might desire that would be unhelpful for us, or which might travel into the territory of spiritual bypassing? What barriers surrounding the concept of desire have we had to move through in our work? What experiences would we share?Thanks to panel guests Clodius, Zarpauluk, Catalyst and Jour de SadalsuudReferenced in today’s episode: Zarpauluk’s work https://paraimperium.wordpress.com/ https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Joanna_Ghost_Hunter/The Tibetan Book of the Dead The Big Book of Candle Magic - Jacki Smith Conversations on Citizenship and Person-Centered Work - John O’Brien & Carol BlessingThanks to Sad Black Lab for the use of their song, "Steps" https://youtu.be/rJIg__DK2X8?si=WE9aCcU6lpMIISpMhttps://youtu.be/WYmgmgtjCpQ?si=MQ5B-93ib6yvK8f3https://open.spotify.com/track/0lqCwUEgiryqT2G8QMBgRt?si=r5t5OIaGT7yzB6vn-QOZiw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2ccTag8BLNcMa9pQfHdtxSThanks for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!
