91. The Golden Shadow w/ Aidan Wachter & Serpents of Circe w/ Laura Tempest Zakroff & Ron Padrón

Aidan Wachter https://www.instagram.com/aidan_wachter joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to discuss Aidan’s recent bicycle tour and the esoteric insights arrived at through such endeavors. Aidan also shares about the book he’s working on now, and about his new essay in the compilation This Is Chaos: Embracing the Future of Magic, edited by Peter J. Carroll. Aidan explains why he doesn't consider himself to be a chaos magician, and discusses egregores, spirit ecology, sigils, Jung’s shadow and more!  During an episode within the episode, Laura Tempest Zakroff and Ron Padrón share about the latest volume in the New Aradia series, Serpents of Circee: A Manual to Magical Resilience, available from Revalore Press. Laura, who wrote Sigil Witchery: A Witch's Guide to Crafting Magick Symbols, shares thoughts about sigil praxis and Ron shines a spotlight on queer ancestor, Mathew Shepard.  Luxa shares listener mail, a poisonous poetry snack, and an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating a consent forward magical space 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. There is also a call for submissions for a collection of magical recipes: Fuck around and Find Out 3: Sorcerous Recipes for Resistance, Resilience, and More from The Green Mushroom Project.
