Episode 13 - Matt Frederick - Exploring the Occult

Interest in the Occult is a strong as ever in the 21st Century. When you consider that these subjects are usually those that sit outside of acceptance by mainstream science or organised religion but can have a deep connection to human experience, it’s easy to understand the appeal – and I say that as someone who is very interested. It’s interesting that a lot of these idea are devalued by the mainstream as much as they every were. Why is that? To get a better understanding of this, my guest for this episode is Matt Frederick. Matt is a practicing magician and expert in all things hidden. We talked about his own introduction to the Occult, explore the makeup of modern day Occulture and why these ideas are valuable to help deal with the materialistic mainstream we all have to negotiate daily. It was a fascinating chat. To find out more about Matt you can find him on Twitter here. For more information on the book 'Condensed Chaos' by Phil Hine which was discussed in the episode click here. I also highly recommend Carl Abrahamsson's Occulture website if you enjoyed this episode.
