#62 / Aidan Wachter, on writing, the somnambulist self & the authentic self.

For episode 62 we welcome back author, magican and talismanic jeweller, Aidan Wachter. We discuss he last book Weaving Fate and Aidan’s writing process, including the importance of flow and how his work is made up of broken pieces which makes sense at a later point. We talk magic as a tool for altering future probabilities and ones past through ritual and manipulation of the mind and the world. Magic and sorcery are ways of being in the world and Aidan's writing offers us his way without conditions or constraints. Aidan’s work helps anchor us around the understanding that our lives are our own. That we can be our own real time biographers and we can write a better story. He also gives us a good toolkit for doing so in both of his books, Six Waysand Weaving Fate. In the Plus show we discuss ‘naming’ and coming of age and the idea of  ‘the feral self’. I also manage to go down a rabbit hole around my confusion with billionaire's obsession with Super Yachts. I’m not even sure how my brain got there...
