The Aether

Gabriela Herstik is an author, sex witch and my former neighbor during a time when magic & synchronicity in my life began to accelerate.

In this solo episode, I reflect on where I am post-interstellar healing, and the experiences that have led me into a deeper relationship with intuition, parallel lives, and personal transformation.  Returning to Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zeland, I explore what it means to align with a new version of self and what happens as the body begins to catch up.

When I decided to take a 10-week hiatus to recalibrate, my dear friend Yea Boiii was one of my final guests and a more recent addition to this season. I’ve since begun to recognize this work with him & his alien team as an anchor point in my continuously unfolding story. Part two of Interstellar Healing is an edited 40-minute segment from our 2-hour session. A process that has genuinely begun to change my life, and the parallel threads running through it across layers and layers of time. So grateful.

“You know it because you know it.” This week, I’m joined by author Marco Visconti, whose work includes The Aleister Crowley Manual and Aleister Crowley’s Mysticism. This discussion gets into the reality of working within Thelema, what that means and what it actually asks of us. We talk about why Crowley’s work is so often misunderstood and misinterpreted, and the difference between building a practice and committing to something that fundamentally changes us. We get into the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, why that experience can’t be externally validated, and why real growth on this path requires disruption, solitude and a willingness to be transformed. This is a grounded and thoughtful exchange around magicianship and what it really means to be a steward of the work. 🖤 The Aether: giving form to the formless Support the show: Patreon.com/theaetherpod More from Marco: marcovisconti.org SpectreVision Radio is a bespoke podcast network at the intersection between the arts and the uncanny, featuring a tapestry of shows exploring creativity, the esoteric, and the unknown.

It's My SpectreVersary! A year ago today, I met Daniel Noah & Elijah Wood when I stepped on stage to share my experiences with Sleep Paralysis on the SVR Live Panel at The Philosophical Research Society. I hesitated for days, not sure if I was ready to speak publicly for the first time about my relationship to the unknown. At this point, a podcast was nowhere near top of mind for me. I remember being so nervous, but listening back I actually sound fearless, a necessary reflection as I release the pressure valve for Season 2, evolving this podcast into a practice. This day was a doorway, one that ultimately changed the course of my life for the better.

“Believe in the way of the new reality that is coming every day. We have seen what will happen, and it is whatever you want.”  I first met YeahBoiii back around 2012, when we were both in very different vehicles. This conversation was a timely reconnection. One that became imperative to my growth and evolution.  For the past three years, I’d been moving through inexplicable full-body pain, chronic injury, fatigue, and emotional overwhelm. After trying everything, I had arrived at an impasse. When YeahBoiii reached out in support of the show, I had no idea where it would lead. My session with him & his nonhuman team was about 3 hours total, split between two sessions, followed by a 10-page integration report. It’s something I am still actively working through.  YeahBoiii’s Interstellar Healing is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. His work reveals the architecture of the path you came here to live, illuminating what’s been carried across lifetimes and clearing what stands in the way of your highest potential. His purity, authenticity, and unapologetic expressiveness have only expanded since choosing this reality: living in solitude in a castle in Spain and offering support through his communication with extraterrestrial intelligence. What a ride. What a gift.  Welcome back to The Aether. It’s going to be an incredible season.

In this episode, I mark a significant chapter of The Aether. Punta Monterrey, Mexico | November 4, 2025 My most potent & undeniable psychic confirmation event.

Author and researcher Mike Clelland returns to The Aether to share with me the story of his “confirmation event,” a night sleeping out under the desert stars that set in motion a phenomenal chain of deeply anomalous experiences, marking the moments when his life changed forever. This is a multi-layered account that left me fascinated. What begins in quiet awe, with what could be UFO contact and a psychic flash of a map marked by three precise points, unfolds into a pattern of synchronicities, each later aligning with a distinct, reality-altering event. The map, the owls (of course), a foreign stranger turned friend who would not only bear witness but share with Mike an unforgettable experience, a set of hypnotic regression sessions, and the unseen intelligence weaving through it all converge here in one of the most extraordinary accounts of synchronicity, alien intelligence, and modern high strangeness I’ve encountered. Someone asked me what has changed in my life after all my research and writing.

In this deep dive episode of The Aether, author, illustrator, and researcher Mike Clelland joins Nicole to explore the enduring mystery of owls, synchronicity, and UFO contact experiences. Drawing from his influential book The Messengers, the conversation moves through questions of symbolism, archetype, memory, and transformation, as well as Nick’s own encounters—owl sightings, hypnagogic visions, and strange timing that blurs the line between coincidence and communication. It’s a deep, expansive exchange on how meaning forms in the margins of the unexplained—and what happens when myth, psyche, and the paranormal overlap.

In this episode of The Aether, I sit down with The Death Alchemist, a death doula who works as a transitional usher between our world and the departed. Adriana enlightens us about her Indigenous Chicana ancestry and provides a humble introduction to one of her most personal and reverential guides: Santa Muerte. Her work invites us to consider continuity — how ritual restores coherence to what grief can fracture.

We discuss clairsentience, psychic anatomy, and how focused energy work can deepen our awareness of unseen dimensions.

In this first journey into The Aether, host Nicole Johnstone and filmmaker Ivan Nevesenko explore the archetypal gate of Death — not as an ending, but as a corporeal threshold. Ivan shares his experiences with thanatophobia (fear of death), chronophobia (fear of time), and the life-altering presence of sleep paralysis, revealing how these states became catalysts for transformation. Together, they reflect on the ancient motif of katabasis the descent into the underworld (and the title of Ivan's newest film), the paradox of non-duality, and the initiatory power of grief, loss and acceptance.
