Aidan Wachter is an animist magician who has been actively involved in magical practice since the 1980s. His work reflects a wide ranging, eclectic, and non-dogmatic approach, with influences from many paths. His books include Six Ways: Approaches and Entries for Practical Magic; Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past, and Telling True Lies; and Changeling: A Book of Qualities. Aidan's writings and extensive Patreon teachings focus on the practice of the craft as a learnable set of skills that can be developed rather than innate talents that must be inherited or granted to the seeker. His books are field guides rather than philosophy. He is based in the Pacific Northwest.On this episode, Aidan discusses his practice of “dirt sorcery,” the romance of animism, and how magic can help us conjure a better world.Pam also talks about how she's making space for new energy, and answers a listener question about working with bird deities.Check out the video of this episode over on YouTube (and please like and subscribe to the channel while you're at it!)Our sponsors for this episode are Weiser Books, Mithras Candle, BetterHelp, Blessed Be Magick, and Zouz IncenseWe also have print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here, and all sorts of other bewitching goodies available in the Witch Wave shop.And if you want more Witch Wave, please consider supporting us on Patreon to get access to detailed show notes, bonus Witch Wave Plus episodes, Pam's monthly online rituals, and more!

VYS0059 | We Can Trance If We Want To - Vayse to Face with Lonnie Scott - Show notes It's always useful to get a lesson in how it's done, so Hine and Buckley welcome to Vayse an OG of occult podcasting, Lonnie Scott, the host of Weird Web Radio, a show which has now been running for a decade. Lonnie is a heathen, a hypnotist, award winning tarot reader and Hellier-almuni and occult podfather who has been podcasting since 2016 - interviewing Vayse favourites such as Aidan Wachter, Greg and Dana Newkirk and Mitch Horowitz years before it was cool. The conversation flows quickly from how Lonnie found his way into magic, heathenism and hypnotism to what really happened in the hypnosis session in season 2 of Hellier to how he navigates the complex ethics of hypnosis to whether hypnotists can really implant ideas into the heads of their subject... and the joys of having a book addiction...

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one's magical practice. Questions the panel will address: how do we define and delineate boundaries in our magical work and interpersonal lives? Is there intersection between how you protect yourself from potentially unhelpful magical forces and potentially unhelpful people? What are some experiences in this area others might find useful to hear about? How do we define psychic self defense? How do we practice it? What are some experiences or tips we'd share?Luxa also shares an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent centered magical spaces 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.

In this episode, I sit down with Aidan Wachter and Tommie Kelly for a long, searching conversation about the state of modern magic and how our practices—and our lives—are changing under cultural and personal pressures. We start with the sense that magic doesn't always work the way it used to. Aidan shares his thoughts on why: the sheer difficulty of magical training, the problems with visualization-heavy systems, and how easily magic becomes another cog in the productivity machine. Together, we look at how these pressures strip practitioners of depth, patience, and wonder.From there, we challenge the “scout badge” approach that creeps into contemporary magic, where achievement replaces mystery. We talk about how capitalism, Catholic symbolism, and our own preferences quietly shape the language we use for spiritual experience, often without our noticing.Rest and downtime become a major thread in our discussion. After dealing with injuries myself, I've come to understand rest as a crucial—if neglected—aspect of spiritual work. Tommie and Aidan echo this, speaking about burnout, financial pressures, and the emotional cost of manifesting major life changes. We compare fast, results-oriented magic with slower, more traditional spiritual paths, and consider why the latter often produces more sustainable transformation.We then turn to the digital world and how constant stimulation affects our sense of wonder. Aidan reflects on practicing Chaos Magic in the 1980s with almost no external influence, and how that solitude fostered originality. In contrast, today's nonstop feed of content makes deep practice and introspection much harder. That leads us into a conversation about authenticity, personal flaws, and how childhood—and identity—now unfold under the surveillance of social media.I share how aligning my life with seasonal rhythms has shifted my work and well-being, especially as I've moved toward agricultural patterns.In the Plus Show Aidan and Tommie talk about stepping back from the news cycle to protect mental health while still being ready to act when real crises arise. This naturally leads us into discussing global events, helplessness, empathy, and the balance between what concerns us and what we can actually influence.The conversation also takes on the broader societal picture: eroding trust in institutions, the fragility of rights, government overreach, and the unsettling realization that much of the order we rely on is more fragile than we'd like to believe. Aidan speaks to the need for public witness when legal and civic norms break down, and we look at the strange impotence of a world where everything is documented yet little changes.We return to animism as a lived practice. Aidan shares his approach to maintaining balance within a wider ecosystem of spirits, people, and land, rather than chasing specific outcomes. We also talk about our societies structural problems and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes things must fall apart before they can be remade.Show notes:https://www.patreon.com/cw/aidanwachterhttps://www.patreon.com/c/tommiekelly/postsKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

In this episode of Spirit Box, I catch up with Aidan Wachter for a long overdue catch up on writing, magic, and what it means to stay human while the world feels like it's cracking open.Aidan shares where he's at with his latest book on animism — moving away from the old idea of manifesting stuff and into something deeper. He even talks about receiving guidance from on his walks, which, if you know Aidan, makes perfect sense.We dig into the weird pressure to have a book in print as some kind of spiritual badge of honour, and an indicator of having maxed out your practice which is rarely the case!We also talk about the messy association of magic and money — how people still expect quick wealth as proof that the magic works, when the reality is far more complex. From there, we drift into the state of things — how so many systems are failing and might shift radically in the next decade, and how we try to keep our heads and hearts intact through it all.In the Plus show, we share how we're both finding community and mental balance these days. How changes that we've made have given benefits in kind. We discuss how the systems of Empire that are damaging people, and the quiet importance of self-reliance and local knowledge. It's all part of the same question: how do we stay human, stay connected, and keep the spirit alive against the backdrop of a changing and volatile world?Show notes:https://www.aidanwachter.comhttps://www.patreon.com/c/aidanwachter/postsKeep in touch?https://linktr.ee/darraghmason

VYS0051 | Can You Recommend The Moon? - Vayse to Face with Phil Ristaino - Show notes Finally finding someone who is more obsessed with Twin Peaks and Under the Silver Lake that they are, Hine and Buckley enthusiastically welcome Phil Ristaino to Vayse. Phil has an intimidatingly impressive CV, as an actor, artist, singer and host of the joyful, thoughtful and perhaps a little insane Post Relevant Podcast, a podcast which analyses the meaning and symbolism of Under the Silver Lake and Twin Peaks the Return in minute, intelligent and perhaps a little insane detail. The discussion galavants from Phil's special areas of obsession, Under the Silver Lake and Twin Peaks, to his wider thoughts on magic, the essential intrinsic delight of creativity, art as an expression of life... and then out of nowhere Phil recommends the moon...

Welcome to Weird Web Radio! It's my honor to welcome back Aidan Wachter! We dove into the complicated world of spirits, cultural approproation, syncretic approaches, spirits, animism, and how all of this just isn't always about you! I hope you enjoy the show! Aidan's BIO: Aidan Wachter has been actively involved in magical practice for a really long time. His work reflects a wide-ranging eclectic and non-dogmatic approach with influences from many paths. He writes with a focus on the practice of the craft as a learnable set of skills that can be developed rather than as an innate set of talents that must be inherited or granted to the seeker. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries For Practical Magic, Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past, & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.

This month Aidan Wachter joins me to talk about Charles Godfrey Leland's 1899 book Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches.

VYS0050 | One And The Same - Vayse to Face with Peter C Hine - Show Notes By some miracle Hine and Buckley have made it to episode 50 and to make the occasion they welcome to Vayse close collaborator and friend of the show, Peter C Hine. Peter is a podcaster, writer and musician from Manchester UK. Together with Stephen James Buckley he co-founded Vayse, a podcast about weird stuff, now celebrating it's 50th episode. The conversation flows from how Vayse was formed, how Peter first became interested in all things weird, why his magical practice is on pause, how deep disillusionment with the current occult scene runs, what does the future hold for Vayse and just how many time can he mention Six Ways, Hellier and Penny Royal in a single interview? (Recorded 22 May 2025) Thanks to all our guests over the last 50 episodes and to everyone who has listened. Thanks as always to Keith for sorting out the show notes - you can find him on Bluesky here: @peakflow.bsky.social Buckley's/Hine's Intro Elon Musk's 14 Children: All About the Tesla CEO's Sons and Daughters and the 4 Women He Shares Them With - People.com (https://people.com/all-about-elon-musk-children-11678749) If Amazon is serious about climate change, why is it ignoring tropical forests? - Forest500 (https://forest500.org/blog/2020/05/01/if-amazon-serious-about-climate-change-why-it-ignoring-tropical-forests/) Digital Doppelgangers: Instagram Tests Creator-Made AI Clones - Forbes.com (https://www.forbes.com/sites/ianshepherd/2024/07/08/digital-doppelgangers-instagram-tests-creator-made-ai-clones/) Vayse to Vayse with Peter C.

VYS0049 | Machines of Loving Vayse - Vayse to Face with Sequoyah Kennedy v2.0 - Show Notes Imagine, if you will, a world burning as society crumbles (is this stretching you?), in the perpetual, scorched twighlight of a dying planet, the determined foot of a tall figure crushes a skull on a landscape forged of human bones - that foot belongs to Sequoyah Kennedy and the human bones are the vestiges of the common myths and misunderstandings about artificial intelligence... apparently AI's are better than humans at devising effective metaphors in order to convey useful information - and we'll have to hope for their sake that's true. In this episode Hine and Buckley invite back to Vayse one of the most intelligent and articulate humans in the material world, Sequoyah Kennedy. Since the Nonsense Bazaar ended SK has gone deep down the rabbit hole of large language models and has returned to help Hine and Buckley get their heads round what artificial intelligence actually means in 2025 and dismisses some of the ubiquitous confusion which surrounds the topic: is the best use of AI as personal assistant and unpaid artists? Are there demons haunting cyberspace? Do androids dream of electric sheep? and he touches on one of the big questions of our time - are we all in very real danger from this soulless, characterless mockery of human ingenuity with no empathy, no conscience and no soul... or will Elon Musk just finally piss off so that we can live in glorious harmony with our wonderful, wise robot buddies? (recorded 11 March) Thanks to Sequoyah for his patenience in explaining these ocmplex ideas to two middle-aged luddites and thanks, as always to Special K - the man who makes sense of our ramblings, Keith who once again did a sterling job of the show notes.

VYS0048 | Chinese Sex Balloons - Vayse to Face with Edwina Quatermass-Palmer - Show Notes Making her podcasting debut, Hine and Buckley welcome the weird, wonderful and wonderfully weird Edwina Quatermass-Palmer to Vayse. Worker of a job so secret that Hine and Buckley actually know what she does, possessor of the coolest name available to the English speaking world and wearer of a genuinely gravity defying hairstyle, EQP is an original and brilliant thinker, a valuable and treasured member of the Vayse discord community, a musician and rambler on the path less travelled. The conversation moves from early paranormal experiences in the, frankly incredibly named, Christmas Room of the Jacobean house that she grew up in, to her discovery of Crowley, root work and her dabbling in Chaos Magick. One of the most fascinating and unusual facets of EQP is her life-long relationship with the Great God Pan, and she talks in detail about how he appears to her, how he communicates with her and what this has meant to her over the years. The free ranging discussion also touches on the nature of creativity, retro-causality, the art and influence of the late, great David Lynch, and the question on everyone's lips... is EQP CIA?... (Recorded 3 February 2025) Thanks to EQP for being so candid and open with us on her first podcast and thanks, as always goes to the great Keith, working to make sure that these podcasts make some semblance of sense, one show note at a time.

This week's show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s.  He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels.  Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities. In this episode, Lian and Aidan dive deep into the essence of teaching and learning, weaving together themes of projections, archetypes, and the transformative power of experiential education. They explore how modern conditioning distances us from innate learning processes and highlight the profound connection between learning and remembrance. Lian and Aidan challenge conventional views of teaching, advocating for an approach that honours individual journeys and the unique keys each of us carries to unlock deeper truths. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to remember their inherent knowledge, embrace the beauty of being both teacher and student, and rediscover their place in a conscious, living world. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Teaching as a Vessel of Discovery Teaching is not about having all the answers; it is about creating a space for others to access their own wisdom. Through teaching, we often uncover truths about ourselves, fostering a mutual journey of growth and understanding. Learning as Remembrance Rather than acquiring new information, true learning is a process of remembering what is already within us. This remembrance connects us to ancestral knowledge, past lives, and the communal nature of existence, offering a profound sense of interconnectedness. Rewilding Education Experiential learning rekindles our natural ability to trust our own experiences, breaking free from the conditioning of traditional education. By rewilding our approach to knowledge, we reconnect with animism and the wisdom of a conscious, interconnected universe.

This week's show is with Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer. Aidan has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s.  He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels.  Aidan views a living magical practice as a path to heal many of the problems we face today and a way of being that is intrinsic to the creatures we are. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries to Practical Magic and Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities. In this episode, Aidan and Lian explore the concept of vessels in magic and witchcraft - and especially vessels for self-discovery and transformation. Aidan reveals lessons from a significant breakdown - which he sees now was catalysed by the very work of his book Changeling - which is about this notion of vessels. They discuss the fluid nature of identity, examine the qualities that define a witch, and consider the role of power in personal growth and the impact of reclaiming our energy from misaligned places. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: A vessel isn't just a container—it's a channel that holds and directs energy, shaping the flow of our lives and the choices that define us. What we choose to hold within shapes our identity and anchors us in life. Power, often viewed as corrupting, becomes transformative when consciously claimed. For a witch, power is an inner resource to guide growth, create change, and hold responsibility. Honouring our ancestors roots us in a lineage that offers wisdom, invites healing across generations, and strengthens our connection to purpose.

Today's episode features author and eclectic animist Aidan Wachter. Join us as we talk living in magic, spirit allies, and finding your path. Aidan Wachter is an eclectic animist, magician, and witch. His work focuses on magical approaches that produce real change in the practitioner and their reality. Wachter believes that magic is an inherent aspect of the human animal that, when missing or neglected, can lead to pathological states in the individual. These states then ripple out into human society and beyond it. It is his belief that magic can be a tool to re-frame what is possible for a person and, from that position, create better possible futures for all beings. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries For Practical Magic, Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing The Past, & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.

VYS0042 | Grinding Out Some Low-End - Vayse to Face with Aidan Wachter - Show Notes Somehow stumbling into a third season knowing less than when they started, Hine and Buckley welcome a guest that has been top of the Vasye-most-wanted-list since the podcast's inception - witch, dirt sorcerer, magician, animist and author, Aidan Wachter. Aidan skilfully and eloquently answers questions on some big topics: are some people naturally more able to connect to magic than others? How do you tune into the more subtle communications when working with spirits? What separates Aidan's practice, beliefs and faith from those of a conventionally religious practice? How can a solitary magical practice serve the wider community? ...and whatever happened to the Black Squid Cult?

Co-directors of Consent Academy https://www.instagram.com/consentacademy/ Ariana and Ash, join Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to discuss how magical work with groups or solo (and activities or relationships of any kind) can be improved through learning about and using consent practices, and how the risk of consent incidents happening can be decreased through education, respect, and slowing down and taking one's time. Topics discussed include contextualizing consent in relationships with non-human entities, the will and desire, consent culture and egregores as well as The Consent Academy's 4 part model of consent. Ariana iis an ordained monk in the Tantric Shingon lineage of Buddhism who has a background in linguistics, education and violence prevention. Ash has a background in sex education and domestic violence prevention and is an abortion doula and adjunct faculty member at Antioch University. Luxa also shares listener mail 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.

It's time to kick around an idea that gets brought up and used quite a bit these days. Unverified personal Gnosis are the terms used to describe a belief gained through personal subjective experience, not things which are confirmed by traditions or in groups. They usually inform the belief system of those that experience them. On this episode, we will be talking with someone whose entire practice is based around Unverified Personal Gnosis. That's right! It's the long-awaited return of author and animist sorcerer Aidan Wachter!

Today we continue on with our popular living the tarot series with another very special guest. Today we have the one and only Aidan Wachter! In this episode, we get into a very deep, very philosophical all about magic. If you are interested in the occult, as well as learning from a very experienced practitioner, this episode is for you. Guest bio: Aidan Wachter is an eclectic animist, magician, and witch. His work focuses on magical approaches that produce real change in the practitioner and their reality. Wachter believes that magic is an inherent aspect of the human animal that, when missing or neglected, can lead to pathological states in the individual. These states then ripple out into human society and beyond it. It is his belief that magic can be a tool to re-frame what is possible for a person and, from that position, create better possible futures for all beings. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries For Practical Magic, Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing The Past, & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.www.aidanwachter.comhttps://www.patreon.com/aidanwachterFind Aidan on Instagram. https://www.amazon.com/stores/Aidan%20Wachter/author/B07B4LVRTC 

Michael M Hughes https://www.michaelmhughes.com/ joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to share about experiences surrounding the ritual he created to bind the reality TV star the US elected as president in 2016 and which ended up being propelled to viral fame, becoming the largest magical working in history. There's some great stuff about the history of the Tarot and Micheal's courses in the subject, with some debunking of popular myths (spoiler alert, it's not from Ancient Egypt, but that doesn't make it any less cool or interesting). Also explored are the intersections of the Trickster, the and the Magician archetypes, and what this might have to do with the stage magician, the “sacred trap” and more.  During a break Luxa shares about The Green Sphere https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQsi-sqCg1RgxZWbePZ7-boZ1k0Xknnpgbzof31_KNtfegkMgLXcqGK1pZQfNm4m35xmOXKhNPm_S3t/pub, a protection and healing ritual you can take part in on June 8th, 2024; as well as a few books from The Green Mushroom Hyphosigil Project's 23:Bibliomancy scripture https://greenmushroomproject.com/category/23bibliomancy/, Mushroom updates, listener mail and more!

Neurodivergent perspectives & magic... Could they be two sides of the same coin? Aidan Wachter, an animist, author, and healer, has been involved in practical magic since the 1980s. He is an animist and is deeply concerned with the effects of modern Western life-ways on the human animal, on both physical and spiritual levels. In this show, Aidan and Lian explore the intersection of magic and neurodivergencence. They discuss how neurodivergence and magic appear to overlap, including the unique perspectives and experiences that neurodivergent individuals bring to the practice of magic. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Neurodivergent individuals often have a different worldview and experience of reality, which can lead them to seek out practices like magic to make sense of the world in a way that aligns more with their perspectives. Magic is not just a metaphor or psychological process, but a way of engaging with a different reality that neurodivergent individuals may be more attuned to. The intersection of neurodivergence and magic challenges societal norms and offers alternative ways of understanding and engaging with the world. Having allies and support is crucial in navigating the world as a neurodivergent person and is something we gain access to once we open to the reality of magic and the profound relationships that lie there.

VYS0034 | The Weird Review of the Year 2023 Pt.1 - Show Notes 2023 was a weird year, a slightly frightening year, a year dominated by UAPs becoming ever more unidentified, AIs becoming ever more intelligent, the Military–industrial complex becoming ever more complex and human beings becoming ever more fucking stupid. In this first part of the second annual Weird Review of the Year, Hine takes Buckley on a fevered journey through the haunted forest of the memories of the year that was, stopping along the way to point out the many strange lights in the sky, the fierce black leopards in the long grass, and the spoon bending, sooth-saying light entertainer hiding in the dark shadows cast by the impenetrable canopy of misinformation onto the windy, uncertain and often deceptive desire-path of truth...

Rejoice! The legendary Aidan Wachter is back on SB! Aidan is a magician and the author of three books, Six Ways,  Weaving Fate and Changeling. This show is called ‘it's solved buy walking after a phrase Aidan used in our conversation. We discuss the impact nature can have on us as we're working through the often challenging landscape of our lives. We discuss how our engagement and immersion into the landscape of our environment can nourish and bring healing to our internal world. And actually just how simple that process can be. We get into ones allies guiding writing, how it can be a collaborative process. What it's like to write three very successful books. In the plus show we discuss what it's like to be a vehicle for the current. The field as an organism and as magical practitioners we have a function. We also go through how it's unlikely one will remain the same as ‘you once were' if you develop a magical life and how that change will not always be pretty. It rarely is. We also go into how there is a sense that similar is happening on an international level and how to navigate things when confronted with difficult and the downright awful. It's good stuff.Enjoy Show notes:Aidan's Instagram https://www.instagram.com/aidan_wachter/ Althaea Sebastiani https://www.instagram.com/ladyalthaea/ Co-regulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-regulation Birdsong frequency benefits https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-20841-0 Aidan Wachter https://www.aidanwachter.com/ Six ways https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39028487-six-ways Weaving fate https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54854252-weaving-fate Changeling https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59717179-changeling Aidan on Weird Web Radio https://www.patreon.com/weirdwebradio/posts --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spirit-box/message

Welcome to Weird Web Radio! Guess who's back! Back Again! AIDAN WACHTER is back! Tell your friends!  Aidan's back! Aidan's back! Aidan's back! Any fan of this show knows by now that Aidan Wachter is not only a common guest on here, but more importantly, Aidan is among those rare friends I count as found family. When he warned me a long while ago that he was going to disappear for a while, I didn't realize it would be total silence for a long time. I know why. It's all good. It was needed. We dig into that for a while in this episode. In fact, we go deep into several subjects which were in part inspired by questions from Patreon members and a special Facebook group built around a community that explores Aidan's published works. This was not only a fun episode. It was also very good conversation with a friend. It was one we decided it was time to hit record. Aidan stuck around for about another hour in the Patreon Bonus Audio portion! We took a real deep dive into devotion vs magic vs religion and more!  Aidan's BIO: Aidan Wachter has been actively involved in magical practice for a really long time. His work reflects a wide-ranging eclectic and non-dogmatic approach with influences from many paths. He writes with a focus on the practice of the craft as a learnable set of skills that can be developed rather than as an innate set of talents that must be inherited or granted to the seeker. He is the author of Six Ways: Approaches & Entries For Practical Magic, Weaving Fate: Hypersigils, Changing the Past, & Telling True Lies, and Changeling: A Book Of Qualities.

VYS0026 | It's a Wand-erful Life - Vayse to Face with Douglas Batchelor Pt. 1 - Show Notes Hine and Buckley are back for the first episode of season 2 and they've brought Douglas Batchelor along with them! Doug is the host and creator of the incomparable What Magic is This? - a podcast about Magic, the Occult, the Esoteric, the Paranormal, the Supernatural and the Weird and surely the single most frequently mentioned magical resource throughout the first season of Vayse. In the first part of this two-part, slightly giddy interview, the roots of Doug's magical life are revealed as he talks about how he graduated from being a disillusioned materialist teenager to a punk-rock chaos magician to a self-styled-necromantic-performative-ritual-magician with an awesome occult podcast. The conversation bounces around: from synchronicities to Bob Ross, from how to start your own magical practice to Hot Wheels skating gear, from podcasting as a work of magic to the psychic influence of the Lost Boys soundtrack... and all whilst Hine and Buckley try their best to uncover and assimilate the source of Doug's seemingly inexhaustible enthusiasm and positivity... Recorded 3 August 2023 Big thanks go to Doug for being so generous with his time and enthusiastic with sharing his knowledge - we were not expecting for this to be a double episode!!! And thanks as always to Keith for the show notes! Give Keith a follow on Twitter @peak_flow for electronic music and weird stuff. Douglas Batchelor/What Magic is This?

For our belated August cross-quarter episode we are continuing to explore different ways of doing “magic”. In this episode we discussed various means of creating and implementing your own spells.  There are several external resources referenced, especially an article by Jenya T. Beachy, originally published in the author's patheos blog “Dirt Hearth Witch” in 2015: Making It So: Seven Steps to Effective Spells. Other references include: The Witch's Path: Advancing your Craft at Every Level by Thorn Mooney Website: Astrology.com/tr Six Ways: Approaches & Entries for Practical Magic by Aidan Wachter

Darragh Mason is a podcasting hero to Hine and Buckley, he's the host of the truly excellent, award-nominated Spirit Box podcast but he's also an multi-award-winning photographer, a researcher specialising in the Djinn and the Aghori Hindu sect and the co-creator of the wonderful Sigil Engine. Darragh's latest project (one of many) is his up-coming book "Song of the Dark Man, Father of Witches" and this episode takes a deep and, at times, emotionally charged dive into the mysterious figure of the Dark Man, his prolific but largely unrecognised role in initiation into the world of witchcraft, his infrequent but significant appearances throughout folklore and his apparent ascent in the psychic aftermath of the pandemic... recorded 2 May 2023.

VYS0007 - Show Notes It's been less than 2 months since Buckley and Hine recorded VYS0003 but things are quickly getting weirder. Buckley talks about his recent dreamwork, his experiments with hypnogogia and a series of synchronicities at a London gig kickstarted by sigil magic. Hine, unexpectedly grounded from practical magic by the I Ching, recounts his experiences with the Dark Man and the Goat God Pan (one and the same?) dating from all the way back in his childhood to present day. Recorded 4 August 2022.

Aidan Wachter has been actively involved in magical practice since the 1980's. His work reflects a wide ranging, eclectic, and non-dogmatic approach with influences from many paths including witchcraft, folk magic, and chaos magic. His books focus on the practice of the craft as a learnable set of skills that can be developed rather than innate talents that must be inherited or granted to the seeker. They are field guides rather than philosophy. In this episode, Aidan and Siri talk about using Black Books for working magic and changing your fate. If you loved this episode, you should consider attending Siri's talk at the Salem Witchcraft and Folklore Festival, which runs August 5-7 2022. You can register here.

Aidan and I had some chats about what to discuss for this show. He has the new book - Changeling - and you should get it, but this conversation goes deeper.

We riff off of each other and dig into the why of it all in our own minds and magic.  I hope you enjoy this one! Stay Weird!

In this episode we examine the pride, the pain, and the double-edged nature of identification, exploring along the way: a difference in attitudes towards work; the influence of a working-class upbringing; a working-class perspective on work, and its conflicts with a middle-class perspective; the struggle to identify with professional roles; Aidan Wachter on identification as a magical technique; the liberating potential of identification and identification as a trap; my continuing identification with being working class; the imposition of identification; against the (classist) argument that education changes social class; working-class alienation from power and privilege; professional identity as a means of exploitation of the middle class; middle-class discontent; varieties of identification; identification as the mother of all defence mechanisms; Jacques Lacan on identification and "the mirror stage"; identification and the birth of the ego as captivation in an image; identification and ignorance; Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, Never Let Me Go, about some unusual students; Ishiguro's genius for depicting the limited understanding of his characters; the horror of the students' surrender to their fate; Ishiguro's novel as an analogy for the creation of social class; education as a means of ensuring docility; the film The Island (2005) as a Hollywood variation on the same theme; the fantasy of breaking out of an oppressive reality into another one; an annoying feature of The Matrix (1999); the impossibility of self-transformation; Plato's allegory of the cave; how the prisoners are conditioned to imprison themselves; Russell Brand on the décor of power; the social sense of "belonging" for the working and middle class; the ruling class at home in and beyond the law; shame and guilt as instruments of social control; the shift into identity politics and away from social class; identity politics in "heroic" and "tragic" modes; enduring shame and guilt; the escape from Plato's cave and what this might signify; a hope for a spiritual, anti-materialism as a future, defining philosophy for the Left.

Join Luxa as she speaks again with Aidan Wachter, magician, podcaster, talismanic jeweler, and author or Weaving Fate and Six Ways about how changing the way we think about the term “Visualization” as well as how we frame the practice of Imagination Magick can make it much more accessible. There's also a ton of other great, practical advice about framing our approach to the practice of magick, and life, in general, as well as some commentary on fine cinema. There's an update about a Sound Sigil track for The Green Mushroom's first birthday that you can contribute to, as well as a sample of what Luxa has mixed for the track thus far. Also, a bonus bibliomancy break featuring listener and supporter, Antoni! Thank you for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

This is a special bonus track I put together as I meditated on the Solstice and the Planetary Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter that, as I write this, is set to take place just a few hours from now! To be honest, I sort of made it for myself- to solidify my intentions going forward, but I hope others will find it enjoyable. This track features some ambient textures and beats, as well as some vocals of people celebrating different traditions and of me conducting bibliomancy, and reading nonsense and poetry. Even if it is after the solstice when you hear this track, I'm hoping to encapsulate a bit of the aspirational energy of this time. I hope you like it!

The amazing support I've been getting from all of you awesome listeners has been incredible! I feel a huge amount of gratitude for all of it. Much Love!
