81. Magic for the Resistance and the History of Tarot w/ Michael M. Hughes

Michael M Hughes https://www.michaelmhughes.com/ joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to share about experiences surrounding the ritual he created to bind the reality TV star the US elected as president in 2016 and which ended up being propelled to viral fame, becoming the largest magical working in history. There’s some great stuff about the history of the Tarot and Micheal’s courses in the subject, with some debunking of popular myths (spoiler alert, it’s not from Ancient Egypt, but that doesn’t make it any less cool or interesting). Also explored are the intersections of the Trickster, the and the Magician archetypes, and what this might have to do with the stage magician, the “sacred trap” and more.  During a break Luxa shares about The Green Sphere https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQsi-sqCg1RgxZWbePZ7-boZ1k0Xknnpgbzof31_KNtfegkMgLXcqGK1pZQfNm4m35xmOXKhNPm_S3t/pub, a protection and healing ritual you can take part in on June 8th, 2024; as well as a few books from The Green Mushroom Hyphosigil Project’s 23:Bibliomancy scripture https://greenmushroomproject.com/category/23bibliomancy/, Mushroom updates, listener mail and more!
