Liminal Currents

The Book of the law is a beautiful, frightening and profound holy document. It inspires as many questions as answers, as many lightning bolts of revelation as WTF moments of head scratching befuddlement. Still, it demands to be studied and seriously reckoned with. Thank Nuit we have return guests Kyle Fite and Sean Woodward on the show today to offer some real insight, as well as possible ways to read this multidimensional book. Listen, read, mutate. [email protected]

Ad Omen is an artist and book designer working at the intersection of design, occult research and experimental publishing. His work explores the Left Hand Path  through writing, artist books, visual culture and magical practice. He has collaborated with figures in contemporary occult education and publishing, including Mandy Wilde, Jack Grayle and Shea Bilé. In this conversation we cover his philosophy and praxis, as well as how the punk rock ethos influenced his magical worldview. Enjoy!

Idlu Lili returns! This time we discuss themes from the second volume of She of the Night, as well as go into a little of Lili's personal praxis and the magical properties of various [email protected]

This episode we speak with author W. Adam Mandelbaum, about his fifty years in magic and how to craft rituals for results versus enacting medieval grimoire cosplay. Mandelbaum also made me laugh more than any guest yet with his quick, cutting humor. Check out his book Modern Demonolatry over at Miskatonic Books.miskatonicbooks.com/product/modern-demonolatry-goetia-without-tears-by-w-adam-mandelbuam-limited-hardcover/[email protected]

Excited to welcome Ian C Edwards back on the show! In this episode we talk about that liminal space that connects occult practice with depth psychology, what it means to walk a crooked path and Ian's magical cartography. [email protected]

What an honor and absolute pleasure talking to master magician and consummate  gentleman, Lon Milo DuQuette, about Tarot Architect and his magical origins. [email protected]

We close out Robert Anton Wilson Month here in the liminal zone with author Gabriel PropAnon Kennedy. Kennedy wrote the inspiring and insightful biography on Wilson (Chapel Perilous : The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson). In this episode we discuss RAW's favored various exercises and methods for state-change, the 8 Circuit Model and what RAW might've thought of the current political/cultural climate. gabrielpatrickkennedy.substack.comchapelperilous.usliminalcurrents@gmail.com

For the 23rd episode it seemed like a no-brainer to invite someone on to talk Robert Anton Wilson, and who better than the cofounder of Hilaritas Press, Richard Rasa. Hilaritas keeps RAW's books in print, as well as sharing key unpublished collections with the world. Richard is a musician, writer and longtime friend of Robert Anton Wilson. On this episode he shares many interesting stories about RAW, his concepts and a bit about Timothy Leary as well! IMPORTANT NOTE : I fjorded up and repeatedly referred to Richard as Robert in the intro. To my knowledge, he hasn't changed his name or identity. Hope he forgives [email protected]

I enjoyed my conversation with Shea Bilé so much that I just had to share this extra content originally slated for the Patreon feed on the main show. Please listen to the last episode first, if you haven't already. [email protected]

Shea Bilé is a writer, lecturer and evangelist for Satanism. He approaches it with an academic rigor and unbridled enthusiasm. This was a fascinating and occasionally controversial romp through the history of Satanism and how it's developed into such a robust current of modern occultism. Check out the Patreon for even more of the conversation. check out his book Friedrich Nietzsche and the Left Hand Path, as well as his course The Fire and the Wine here : miskatonicbooks.com [email protected]

On today's show we are joined by author/teacher/translator Ran (Thursaruna), who drops into the current to discuss the history of the Runes and how his understanding and radical working with them are from the perspective of the outsider, the rebel, the antinomian (the Giants), as opposed to the Norse Gods of order and submission. This was a truly inspired conversation. [email protected]

Spencer Sunshine has been researching and organizing against the Far Right and Neo-Nazi movements for decades. His book Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism is a modern classic on the subject. On today's show we talk how figures like Boyd Rice, Michael Moynihan, Nikolas Shreck and Adam Parfrey subtly and otherwise seeded Neo-nazi ideology into the underground and are at least partially responsible for the modern rash of racially motivated violence. Later in the conversation we talk about how many of the main figures in the history of modern Satanism were either apologists or outright nazis also. This was a wild, occasionally uncomfortable but illuminating talk. 

Despite having much in common on their spiritual paths, Ike Baker and Marco Visconti have been in a war of words on the virtual battleground of social media for far too long. On this episode, we see what happens when they both agree to speak to each other in an extended dialogue over Zoom. I sincerely wish more of the online magical wars were approached this way. Hope you enjoy and appreciate this  special episode as much as I did. 

Legendary writer Peter Levenda rides the Liminal Currents this episode and expounds on how so many cultures had elements of soul travel to the stars. He'll be leading a retreat on the subject in October in Joshua Tree alongside Marco Visconti. Later, he speaks on Kenneth Grant and HP Lovecraft! So much goodness for one show. As usual, become a patron to access extra topics and more of this episodes chat with Peter. [email protected]

This episode marks the triumphant return of one of my favorite and one of the most requested guests, Kyle Fite. His new book "Beyond the Golden Omen" is one of the best occult adventure books of the year. Get his books, buy his art, seek him out. [email protected]/LiminalCurrents

This episode we take the non-linear time machine to Roman times to explore the fascinating cult of Mithras, its connection to Saturn and the stars and why it still matters with author Peter Mark Adams. I loved this conversation! petermarkadams.comMaster of the Temple (Jack Parsons doc) https://youtu.be/[email protected]

It was such a treat to interview author Idlu Lili Regulus, author of my favorite book of the year thus far, She Of The Night. Lili traces Lilith's many forms throughout the millennia, what mystery surrounds Her and how to work with Her chthonic energies. theionpublishing.comidlulili and the communicating vessels on [email protected]

On today's show we welcome back grand raconteur Denny Sargent (Feral Magick, Werewolf Magick, Tantra For All), along with Louis Martine (The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot, Doctor John Montanee : A Grimoire) to celebrate the life and legacy of Nema and the history of the Horus Ma'at Lodge.

This episode we sit down in the virtual temple with artist and magician, Hagen Von Tulien, to discuss his inspiration, method and the magical intent of his work. We get into a little of his history with the chaos magic IOT and the Fraternitas Saturni, as well as discussing his correspondence, meeting and work with Michael Bertiaux. www.behance.net/[email protected]

I've been looking forward to having Marco Visconti on the show for a while. He's a fascinating author and instructor, as well as a highly principled firebrand on social media. We need more of his brand of integrity in modern occulture. This chat covered many interesting topics : post OTO Thelema, Kenneth Grant and Lovecraft, where and what should the occult community grow into and so much more! marcovisconti.orgmarcovisconti.substack.comliminalcurrents@gmail.com

On this episode it was a pleasure to welcome Orryelle Defenestrate-Bascule to the liminal spaces we inhabit. Orryelle is a world class visionary painter, as well as a filmmaker, sculptor, musician, writer and performance artist. He lives and breathes magic moment to moment in a way most of us could only hope to. do yourself a favor and buy some of his [email protected]

David Beth is not a man to mince words. He speaks the Truth as he experiences it. He also just happens to be damn nice, incredibly wise and articulate. David is the author of Voudon Gnosis, and multiple essays and articles. He also runs Theion Press and speaks at many conferences worldwide. As you can probably tell by the length of the episode, David has a lot to share and this conversation was a blast to be a part of. Hope you get as much out of it as I did!theionpublishing.comkosmic-gnosis.orgliminalcurrents@gmail.com

This episode, author Ian C Edwards traverses the liminal zone where applied magick and philosophy meet. Ian is one the kindest and deepest thinkers I've had the good fortune to meet.

This episode marks yet another early milestone for us. Michael Staley's writing, publishing and hard work at keeping Kenneth Grant's work in print and name alive has meant so much to both Wyatt and myself. Listen in on the conversation as we delve into Michael's personal journey, working as Grant's right-hand man, publishing both Starfire the journal and the book imprint and, of course, Lam. Not to mention much much more (by now regular listeners are aware our conversational flow, as well as brains, are as squirmy as a frog in gradually heated water).

Arrooooooo! On today's episode we speak with Werewolf Magick (and Werewolf Pack Magick) author Denny Sargent. Denny's the real deal and real gentleman, as well. He's been involved with the magic scene since the '70s and has written books on everything from animism to the Holy Guardian Angel experience to wolf and naga magic to tantra and few other things, to boot. This conversation was truly a hoot and howl! dennysargentauthor.comhorusmaatlodge.comContact us at : [email protected] music : "Invocation" by Dark Planets of Dead Dreams 

This episode Brian and Wyatt talk to legendary author Phil Hine about his history with the Chaos Magic movement, magic as a political act, homophobia in the occult scene, tantra and the left hand path (in the East and West). It was surreal talking to the author of a couple of the most influential books on both of our magical paths. Enjoy!  Phil's excellent blog : enfolding.orgRead all his books, especially his two most recent : Delinquent Elementals and Querying the Left Hand Path!Theme song by Dark Planets of Dead Dreams 

We're very excited to share our first interview with you folks.
