Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata welcomes Aidan Wachter https://www.patreon.com/cw/aidanwachter/home, author of Six Ways, Weaving Fate, Changeling, and more, back to the show to discuss current events and looking forward with the new Black Book hypersigil project, After the Fall, as well to do a Retrospektive lookback at Aidan’s time with Thee Temple of Psychic Youth.  Luxa also shares historical context about gamergate, a track from Music for Good: A Mixtape for MN Mutual Aid by Community Aid Network MN (CANMN) https://canmn.bandcamp.com/album/music-for-good-a-mixtape-for-mn-mutual-aid, and an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent centered 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!
