Michelle Tea has published over 20 books, including the cult classic Valencia as well asModern Tarot and the essay collection Against Memoir. Her latest book, Modern Magic: Stories, Rituals, and Spells for Contemporary Witches was released in the fall of 2024 — not too long before our interview was recorded. A lot has changed since then. The calendar year and the world itself. I loved Modern Magic from the opening paragraph. Months later the book feels like an instruction manual for survival. There's a lot more I could say about Michelle — and I say some of it in the print interview.

“If someone wants me to make a prediction, I'm going to say you're going to be happy; you're going to be satisfied; you're going to be healthy; I call it positive project. Why shouldn't we just positive project? That's an honest question. I know it might sound glib or something, but I honestly feel that way.  If someone's thinking about their future, let's positive project. In a year from now you'll be healthier, happier, more satisfied, more evolved in terms of your goals. And then let's start with that. Let's start planning for that world, using the astrology for that world.” — SJ Anderson Astrologer SJ Anderson joins me, Vivi Henriette, to share his origin story and philosophy of astrology.

I'm happy I met Camirin before I read their official bio because it's extensive. And intimidating, I'm not even going to try to summarize it:  Camirin Farmer is a nonbinary, queer, black performer & astrologer based in Los Angeles, CA. After beginning their comedic career in Baltimore, MD which included performing stand up at ARTSCAPE, America's largest free art festival, they returned to their hometown of Los Angeles where they have now been for the last 7 years. Over that time they have explored various avenues of comedy: improv and sketch at Second City Hollywood that began with joining the cast of the main stage production Some F*cking Advice, and concluding with being a member of the house sketch team Hot Flan; various stand up shows, including Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen, Helltrap Nightmare, the Funny or Die showcase, and many self produced shows at The Elysian Theater; and multiple clown performances, specifically their hour long solo shows titled Fart Piss Puke and God Vessel. In 2020 Camirin began to fuse their appreciation for astrology, and comedic practice with their astrology based advice show Your Virgo Friend, Camirin on the streaming website Eternal Family. While producing, and hosting the show, Camirin's study of astrology, although self explored, became deeper. In 2023 Camirin began a more serious study of astrology under the tutelage of Sisterbride, née Blair Bogin. They are currently an adjunct professor at the USC School of Dramatic Arts. Core to all of their comedy is the desire to explore, and articulate their experience as a marginalized person specifically through the lens of living with faith in a Higher Picture. They believe that comedy can be a pure container for strong truths.  ENJOYED THIS CONVERSATION? Head over the ART of the ZODIAC on Substack for the bonus print interview with Camirin.   ABOUT CAMIRIN Camirin Farmer is an astrologer & performer from Los Angeles who got their roots in the Baltimore comedy scene.

In today's episode we talk to Steven Reigns — poet, educator, and author of one of my favorite books of poetry, A Quilt For David. This book came to me during an extremely difficult bout of insomnia, and I read it in one sitting. Which says a lot because I'm a slow reader.  We get into all of that in this interview as well as Steven's lifelong love affair with writer Anais Nin. (Steven is the President of The Anais Nin Foundation.) We also get into his latest work, ‘For The Love of Peter Hujar,' a zine dedicated to the life of photographer Peter Hujar, published by Mattazine Society, as part of their ongoing ‘For The Love Of' series.  MORE ABOUT STEVEN Steven Reigns is a Los Angeles poet and educator and was appointed the first Poet Laureate of West Hollywood. Alongside over a dozen chapbooks, he has published the collections Inheritance and Your Dead Body is My Welcome Mat. Reigns holds a BA in Creative Writing, a Master of Clinical Psychology, and is a sixteen-time recipient of The Los Angeles County's Department of Cultural Affairs' Artist in Residency Grant. He edited My Life is Poetry, showcasing his students' work from the first-ever autobiographical poetry workshop for LGBT seniors. Reigns has lectured and taught writing workshops around the country to LGBT youth and people living with HIV. Currently he is touring The Gay Rub, an exhibition of rubbings from LGBT landmarks, and is board president of the Anais Nin Foundation. His newest collection A Quilt for David was published by City Lights and is the product of over ten years of research regarding dentist David Acer's life.  FOLLOW STEVEN ON IG https://www.instagram.com/stevenreigns/  BUY A QUILT FOR DAVID https://citylights.com/general-poetry/quilt-for-david/ BUY ‘FOR THE LOVE OF PETER HUJAR' https://www.printedmatter.org/catalog/66725/ ENJOYED THIS VIDEO?  Follow ART of the ZODIAC & Vivi Henriette in ALL the places: https://linktr.ee/ART_of_the_ZODIAC  For BONUS print interviews, SUBSCRIBE to ART of the ZODIAC on SUBSTACK for the latest  TALKTALKTALK, delivered straight to your inbox — it's FREE:  (Become a paid subscriber for secret invites and discounts.)  https://artofthezodiac.substack.com/  LEARN Astrology!

Jacob Budenz is the only one of their siblings not to be diagnosed with ADHD markers (something they attribute to being stoic about their problems). They're one of those people who has a zillion ideas and manages to see all of them to completion, while making every role they play seem effortless — writer, actor, director, musician, and performance artist. They have an MFA in Creative Writing from University of New Orleans and a BA in Writing Seminars and Spanish from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where they currently live and make art. Between publishing a collection of short stories (Tea Leaves) and conducting a performance ritual of apology for the divine masculine, they found time to TALKTALKTALK to me. Thank you, Jacob!

This month in DADAstrology Land, Astrologers Vivi Henriette and Martha Fearnley attempt to make sense of the pileup of planets in Gemini.

This week's episode of DADAstrology was an excuse to TALKTALKTALK with an astrologer I super enjoy talking to, Rose Blakelock aka mutable_cross on Instagram. I wasn't quit sure where this was headed, and I'm still not sure where it went. This is what happens when you hand two people with Mercury in Pisces a map: it disintegrates. Guest appearances made my Mars and Neptune. Special thanks to Uranus for making this week exciting! ABOUT ROSE Rose Blakelock is a writer, astrologer, podcaster, and musician who is interested in the intersection of study and experience. She believes astrology has the capacity to be a liberatory language when approached with curiosity and humility, and that is what she strives for in her practice and work in the world.

Aphrodite and Mars, the original star-crossed lovers, their hot and heavy relationship fuels all creation. In astrology, their respective planets, Venus and Mars, join the moon to comprise the night sect of plants. The push-pull of beauty and desire under the romantic moonlight. In this episode of DADAstrology, astrologer Vivi Henriette and ⁠Martha Fearnly⁠ explore the archetypes of Venus and Mars through the film American Beauty. The takeaway? The 1990s were so much drama.

I met Marval A Rex on NYE 2024, hours after completing a cross country drive from Detroit to Los Angeles. I was excited and delirious and completely bereft of any social etiquette when I asked him to be my astrology friend five minutes into our conversation. It turns out, ignorance is bliss. Had I known the scope of his work as an artist and astrologer, I would have never had the courage to be so bold. In the time since that first meeting, his fierce passion and unique astrological voice has reinvigorated my own practice. This is the conversation I needed after a tumultuous eclipse season.

At the end of 2023, I sat down to interview Kyle Buller, co-founder and VP of Education at the media outlet Psychedelics Today. It's been nearly two months since we recorded this conversation, and I continue to make new discoveries with each listen. Kyle is an expert storyteller. I'm both awed and humbled by the story he shared. He begins with the retelling of his adolescent near death experience. From here he takes us through his discovery of psychedelics and transpersonal psychology and holotropic breathwork—landmarks on the path that ultimately lead to the birth of Psychedelics Today, an organization that's been personally meaningful to me. More on that another time. For now, enjoy the TALKTALKTALK! TOPICS COVERED transpersonal psychology, holotropic breathwork, psychedelics, near death experiences, Snowboarding to Nirvana, Psychedelics Today, Bardo states, Camus, existentialism, shamanism *****Trigger warning: this interview contains talk about hospitals and needles.

Jake Kobrin is someone whose life is a testament to the fact that magick works. That and meditation. He's been cultivating his own practice since his teenage years in the Bay Area, where he studied with the Buddhist teacher, Jack Kornfield. It was during the same time that he was exploring lucid dreaming and the works of Aleister Crowley.  A multi-disciplinary artist, his many titles include painter, tattoo artist, musician, DJ, magician and author. His debut book on Magick is scheduled for release in 2024 by Llewellyn. Jake is based in Bali, where he's spent the past five years, and has traveled and studied around the globe. I caught up with him during a quick trip to New York, where he was staying at the Brooklyn home of our mutual friend, magician/astrologer/artist Micki Pellerano of Time Lord TV.

If it wasn't for Long Covid and personal tragedy, Kristin Mathis may have never left her job as a Waldorf school teacher. She might not have listened when Hermes came to her in a dream. And she may never have launched her Substack, Mysteria Mundi. Kristin has been translating ancient texts her whole adult life — but since leaving University, it had become mostly Sappho's poetry, and mostly something she did just for fun. This was different. This was a calling to Orphic Initiation. And the Universe was conspiring by taking away all the obstacles — health, partner, job security. There were days, weeks, months, when literally all she could do was translate. During these periods when she was too ill or sad to leave bed, she still found time and energy to pour herself into her work. One by one, in an order that would come to her in waking visions and dreams, she started translating the collection of 87 Orphic poems from Ancient Greek to living English texts. More than an obsession, it became a practice. And without ever consciously making the decision, she reprised the role of fulltime scholar she left behind over 30 years ago when she dropped out of her PhD program at Princeton. Today her translation project, Mysteria Mundi, has attracted a devoted audience that helps her pay her bills. It's morphed into classes, collaborations, and speaking gigs at conferences. And it's gotten her a publisher. Revolore Press will soon release a selection of her translations as a book of devotional hymns. I recently sat down with Kristin in her Brooklyn home to discuss Karma, Fate, Moira & Long Covid — a topic and title that came to her after one of our more casual Instagram Live conversations. In this talktalktalk, Kristin discusses fate and fortune as well as the realities of living with Long Covid and some practical insights for anyone facing similar struggles. TOPICS COVERED: long covid, the three fates, Greek mythology, astrology, moira, fate & fortune, navigating difficult times, mushrooms, cranial sacral therapy Head over to SUBSTACK to read the BONUS print interview HERE FURTHER VIEWING FROM THE ARCHIVE: Discovering the Orphic Hymns with Kristin Mathis of Mysteria Mundi Listen ⁠HERE⁠ Watch HERE ENJOYED THIS VIDEO?

When Jonah Emerson-Bell left his NYC art career, he spent a year living out of a van in the desert giving tarot readings, sticky googly eyes on household objects and combining both those powers — tarot and googly eyes — with a humor, charm, and his background in visual arts to compose daily horoscope videos that are, to this day, some of the most enchanting content I've ever stumbled across on the Internet.  Under the alias Blind Space Wizard, he produces a weekly radio show called the Melee Report, narrating the upcoming astrological weather between a playlist that is as eclectic and wonderful as you'd expect from someone who's spent their life obsessing over music.  He is currently completing his graduate studies in  Mental Health Counseling at Southwestern College — which is part of the reason why he took three weeks to complete this interview. The other part is that he was in Athens, Greece taking part in The Dream Palace, a residency and symposium focused on dreams and dreaming.  What else? He is trained in hypnosis and integrative coaching and is a featured Astrologer on the AstroStar app. He is currently based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Aerin Fogel was a consultant on the 21st century remake of the 1996 film, The Craft. It was her job to make sure the magic was real. The spells. The rituals. Years of practice have made her a go-to for occult matters. Basically she's the person every goth girl aspired to be in high school. And some of us, still aspire to be. She's also a musician and professional astrologer based in Toronto, who specializes in a form of channeling called Core Pattern Reading. If you have no idea what that last part means, I didn't either. In fact, I'm still not sure if I entirely get it, but I have friends who've had real breakthroughs after sessions.  Aerin founded Venus Fest, a Toronto-based music festival she organized for seven years. When she makes music—which is all her life—she is Queen of Swords. Her latest album is Year 8.

Chris Lyon is an Occultist who came to magic at an early age through a haunted house and a long family lineage. HIs magical upbringing was a little bit folk and a little bit formal — and pretty serious. He met his mentor at age 11, who saved him from a breakdown and showed him how to cultivate his talents. When he moved away to London for college he immersed himself in the works of the Golden Dawn and studied Archaeology, focusing on funerary and temple architecture in the Near East. These days, between seeing clients and preparing for graduate studies, he runs Mystai, an online magick school that offers a “complete occult education.” Join ART of the ZODIAC's C 'Vivi' Henriette as she TALKTALKTALKS to Chris on a LIFE of MAGICK.
