Albertus Magnus, the thirteenth-century polymath known as the Universal Doctor, had a problem. To some, he was the greatest natural philosopher of his age. To others, he was a dangerous sorcerer who built talking automatons, disguised himself as a midwife to learn forbidden secrets, and wrote books on summoning demons. Was Albertus Magnus a saint, or was he a sorcerer? The answer to this question would help define the very boundary between science and magic. In this episode, I bring you the story of Albertus Magnus and the Mirror of Astronomy.Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with original music by Purple Planet.Episode sourcesSupport the showEnchantedPodcast.netBluesky/enchantedpodcast.net

Send us a textIn this episode, Wil Fisher sits down with Ash Ryzen Witham, a queer, nonbinary trauma-informed Somatic Coach and Connection & Embodiment Facilitator. Ash supports personal and collective transformation by guiding people into deeper connection with themselves, each other, and life itself through somatic wisdom, embodied and authentic relating practices, and movement + expression. Their work is rooted in the belief that the ache, tension, and longing we carry are not “problems to fix,” but raw material for personal evolution, where the art of alchemy truly lives.Together, they explore:Somatic coaching as a path to self-trust and the body as our most honest guide. Nervous system regulation in intense times and why safety isn't a concept, it's a felt experience. “First responders”: the early signals in the body that let us intervene before activation takes the wheel. How to work with emotions in a way that's compassionate, practical, and grounded in real life (not bypass-y). Authentic Relating as a practice of truth + care: saying what's real while staying connected to impact. Belonging vs. fitting in and how self-belonging becomes the foundation for healthy community. Holding multiple truths in queer spaces with more curiosity, less fragility, and more capacity for nuance. Alchemy as transmutation: turning pain, tension, and longing into power, meaning, and movement. Ash's queer journey, representation, and the ways “coming out” can be a lifelong unfolding. Ecstatic dance as an embodied portal back into aliveness, joy, and community.Connect with Ash: Website: www.ashwitham.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alchemy.with.ash/Connect with Wil: Website: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/ Instagram: @wilfish99Support the show

For this month's episode of Magus we're finally discussing the life of the first Magus ever, Hermes Trismegistus!An ancient Egyptian sage written about by Cicero and early Christian church fathers, he is the literal reason why the magical practices of Hermeticism and Alchemy came into existence. He was still being referenced by the likes of Isaac Newton during the European Enlightenment, and his writings remain popular in esoteric and occult circles even today.Discovery of his existence came about in Italy, at the same time as other ancient writers, including Plato, were being translated into Latin for the very first time, prompting the whirlwind array of changes we call 'the Renaissance.'The man to whom the task fell specifically was Italian philosopher and Catholic priest Marsilio Ficino, who soon established a Neo-Platonic Academy attended by artists including Boticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, their work all funded by Cosimo di Medici, the richest man in the world.Their collective project was to recover the past and remake it, all so mankind could reshape its physical existence through magic. Ficino's product was The Hermetica, an entire magical system based on philosophies of Matter and Spirit. It quickly became one of the most famous magic books in all of history, and for centuries the story of Hermes Trismegistus, his learning, wisdom, and magical system, were all beyond doubt.Only then along came a classical scholar and philologist called Isaac Casaubon, who had questions about some of the 'ancient Egyptian' vocabulary used in The Hermetica, which prompted others to wonder whether Hermes Trismegistus had ever existed at all...We really hope you enjoy the episode, and Eleanor will speak with you again on Saturday for this week's Local Legends episode all about Brecknockshire with the wonderful Horatio Clare!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURProud members of the Dark Cast Network.Visit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textDo you love Audiobooks? Well, hold onto your buttz! Today we have a very special completely spoiler free interview episode for you. We're bringing you something (someone?) new and exciting to go along with our deep dive series for the Plated Prisoner books by Raven Kenneny, going on now! We're chatting with none other than the man behind our favorite voices…including THE Slade Ravinger… Anthony Palmini! Yes, you heard that right: he's the voice of some of our most treasured MMC's like Kingfisher from the Fae and Alchemy series by Callie Hart and Rhysand in the dramatized adaptation of A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J Maas… and we want to know… how did he get here? He has a corner on the Romantasy shadow daddy market, and we need to know what that's like? No pressure at all! And maybe if we're extra lucky he might just show off his talents a little and answer some listener submitted questions! Anthony has over 10 years in the professional voice acting field, doing everything from voice overs for commercials, to audiobooks, to composing music for independent films. He does video editing and directing, writing for online production companies, video editing for brand names and television studios, and has even been part of a comedy troupe. We think it's safe to say that he knows his stuff, and that's the reason why he has become such a vital and beloved member of the book community. 

In this episode, I'm continuing the Empress Method by exploring what comes after effort: surrender.We talk about why the mind and ego are wired to keep us gripping, controlling, and forcing outcomes, and how true embodiment requires learning how to release, not give up, but let life move through us.I share how surrender isn't passive, weak, or spiritual bypassing. It's an embodied practice of trust. A willingness to loosen control, soften the body, and allow the next step to reveal itself instead of trying to force clarity.This episode is for anyone who feels tired of pushing, exhausted by effort, or stuck because they're trying to “figure it out” instead of letting the body lead.This is the Empress learning how to float with the river instead of fighting it._____________________________________________

Matija Vid Pecek Black (she/he/they, aka Nikki Lapore) has been exploring shibari for nearly a decade-but this isn't just about knots. For Nikki, rope is a way to connect with energy, nature, and the soul itself. Think flowers, forests, and the freedom of tying yourself as a ritual of release and self-discovery. In this episode, Mya and Fox dive into Nikki's unique world, covering: • How rope becomes self-expression and boosts confidence • The art and ritual of self-tying • Connecting with nature through rope • Their creative rope process—from choosing the perfect organic rope to dying it with natural pigments (yes, including bones—gloves required!) • What makes rope art—and whether it even needs an audience • Rope's place in their life, work, and Croatian culture • And their vision for future druidic-goth-art adventures Plus, hear Mya's mind completely blown when she realizes she totally misunderstood one of Nikki's offerings.

250th Birthday Edition: What Matters in Jane Austen? by John Mullan: ⁠https://amzn.to/4sA9fbG⁠ In this episode, I'm joined by John Mullan to explore the remarkable range of Jane Austen's novels and the beauty of her unique literary style. We talk about how free indirect speech shapes our intimacy with characters like Emma Woodhouse, drawing us into her mind while quietly revealing her blind spots. We also explore why Mansfield Park feels so different from Austen's other novels and yet has a lot of depth to unpack. Along the way, we reflect on the enduring magic of Pride and Prejudice: why it feels so alive and so perfectly balanced. From irony and voice to structure and silence, this conversation celebrates the many ways Austen writes. Whether you're a lifelong Austen reader or returning to her novels with fresh eyes, this episode is an invitation to notice, to linger, and to fall in love with her work all over again

For the past decade, my work has been shaped by one ongoing practice: learning how to turn the hard things I've lived through into wisdom, medicine, and deeper presence.Soft Alchemy was born from a question that kept returning to me during a season of deep stillness:What if the parts of us that hardened to survive aren't the end of our story... but the beginning of our alchemy?Beginning February 1, we'll return to this altar twice a month to explore that question together. Some episodes will feel like sitting across from me with tea as I share intimate reflections and lived stories interwoven with Vedic wisdom. Others will be guided meditations and gentle practices you can return to whenever your nervous system needs a softer landing.Every episode is an invitation to:settle your nervous systemlisten beneath the surfaceremember who you areIf you're in a season of transformation, or even just a season of listening, this space was made with you in mind.So take a breath, let your body settle, and welcome home.MusicMOZɅRT — "A Rose Is A Rose"Continue the journey Work with me / explore offerings:srlwellbeing.comWatch the podcast on YouTube:youtube.com/@softalchemyspaceFollow along on Instagram@softalchemyspace @srlwellbeing @steviereneewithin About this space Soft Alchemy is the evolution of my earlier work, In Case Nobody Told You.

Today, you're guided to release anxiety by integrating what you learned into a lived, repeatable practice. This final episode guides you through a gentle weekly reflection to help your nervous system remember what worked: how anxiety showed up in your body, which tools helped most, and how to carry forward a simple one-minute calming routine. You'll reinforce self-trust, reduce reactivity, and turn your progress into a sustainable habit you can use in real life. If you want lasting anxiety relief, this episode helps you embody calm—not as perfection, but as practice. Focus: weekly reflection + integration Best time to practice: end of week, Sunday night, or whenever you want to recommit Intention: embody self-trust, strengthen calm recall, and build a sustainable daily ritual This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning.

In Day 6 of Anxiety Alchemy Week, the arc is Balance—releasing anxiety by layering the week's most effective practices into one calming sequence you can use anytime. This episode combines a longer-exhale breathing technique (Anchor Breath), a grounding focus, Prithvi Mudra for emotional protection, and a solar plexus (3rd chakra) nurturing practice to restore steadiness and self-trust. You'll learn how anxiety can pull you into extremes and how a predictable "return to center" routine helps your nervous system settle faster. If you've been feeling overstimulated, reactive, or scattered, this layered meditation will help you come back to calm, clear balance—one breath at a time. Featured practice: Layered balance stack (Release + Rest + Ground + Protect + Nurture) Best time to practice: transitions, before conversations, before sleep, after overstimulation Intention: restore inner steadiness and reduce anxiety spirals This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning.

Let's take a journey into some of the most occult corners of the Enlightenment, all leading to contraband Gnostic and Hermetic secrets. For this tour, I am joined by art dealer and expert Christopher Bishop. He'll show us the hidden world of Enlightenment Naples through Fedele Fischetti's rediscovered masterpiece, The Triumph of Night, a rare visual record of secret networks where alchemy and Masonic philosophy intertwined. We'll also delve into the legacy of the painting's "extravagant" patron, Prince Raimondo di Sangro—a practicing alchemist and "necromancer"—who commissioned the work to encode a path toward the Philosopher's Stone and spiritual immortality. We will decode the painting's complex "hieroglyphic puzzle," tracing the four stages of the Magnum Opus through symbols ranging from the Egyptian god Harpocrates to the alchemical hermaphrodite. And that's just the tip of the revelatory ice berg.

If you've been feeling tense, overwhelmed, or hard on yourself, this meditation will help you soften the pressure and return to grounded self-trust. Featured technique: Solar Plexus (3rd chakra) breath + warm focus Best time to practice: before decisions, before difficult conversations, when feeling pressured or overwhelmed Intention: release anxiety held in the body and nurture steady confidence This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457.

In Day 4 of Anxiety Alchemy Week, the arc is Protect—releasing anxiety by creating a calm inner boundary and returning to your center. In this episode, you'll learn and practice Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra), a simple hand position used as a somatic anchor for steadiness and emotional protection. You'll explore how anxiety can intensify when you're overstimulated, overcommitted, or emotionally overexposed—and how a protective inner container helps your nervous system settle.

2026 is not a normal year... In this conversation, Jim Self explains that the chaos we're witnessing is what happens when the old "third-dimensional game" of reality stops being sustainable. The collapse of duality and linear time are revisited as Jim reveals how a massive upgrade to our internal operating system is changing everything.A world built on guilt, authoritative control, and the shadows of the past eventually collapses as the light becomes too bright for the old structures to sustain themselves.What's being undone are the systems of a fading dimension—so a new way of living can emerge. One rooted in harmonic resonance, the power of the present moment, and the alchemy of higher consciousness.And while this moment is collective, how it shows up in your life is deeply personal.

Practice the Ground arc—releasing anxiety by returning to your body and the present moment. This episode teaches a simple, science-supported breathing practice called Anchor Breath (inhale 4, exhale 6–8) designed to calm stress arousal by extending the exhale and signaling safety to the nervous system. You'll hear a relatable story about morning anxiety and learn how to use grounding in everyday transitions—before your phone, before difficult conversations, and whenever your thoughts start to spiral. If you've been feeling scattered, tense, or mentally "up in the air," this episode will help you land in steadiness again—one breath at a time. Technique used: Anchor Breath (4 in / 6–8 out) x 8 rounds Best time to practice: mornings, evenings, before transitions, before stressful interactions Intention: release anxious urgency and reconnect to calm presence This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457.

In this episode of the LaidOPEN Podcast, host Charna Cassell sits down with content creator Taylor Perkins, better known on social media as Cult Daddy, for a deep conversation about spirituality, embodiment, trauma, and reclaiming personal truth after high control religion. Taylor shares his journey growing up Mormon, achieving financial success, losing everything, and experiencing a profound spiritual awakening that reshaped how he understands consciousness, meaning, and self expression. Together they explore psychedelics as one possible tool for unlearning indoctrination while emphasizing the importance of safety, integration, and nervous system awareness. This episode dives into paradox, expansion versus ascension, parenting as a mirror for inner child healing, embodied boundaries, trauma responses, relationships as reflections, and how suffering can become a signal for realignment rather than something to escape. A grounded and compassionate conversation for anyone questioning inherited beliefs, navigating spiritual awakening, or seeking a more embodied and self directed path.

What if the safest place you can find is the breath you're already taking? We sit down with Anthony Abbagnano — founder of Alchemy of Breath and author of Outer Chaos, Inner Calm — to explore how conscious breathing can shift anxiety, resolve trauma responses, and restore a sense of agency in everyday life. His story arcs from a startling early awakening at boarding school to months of stillness during a life-threatening illness, revealing the quiet power of will on the inhale and surrender on the exhale.Visit Anthony's Website: Alchemy of BreathAnthony breaks down the mechanics behind different methods with rare clarity. We unpack why hyperventilation isn't a DIY strategy, how Conscious Connected Breathing works without pauses, and when vigorous diaphragmatic cycles can prime you for a high-stakes talk. Most importantly, we get practical: the four-in, long-out exhale sequence becomes a dependable reset for the nervous system, helping listeners interrupt spirals of panic, ground attention, and return to a steadier baseline. Along the way, Anthony's “octave” metaphor reframes coping versus resolution, showing how breath can complete the unfinished note of suspense and bring closure to states that keep us stuck.This conversation is a toolkit for teachers, caregivers, and anyone who wants to feel safer in their own body. You'll learn how to catalog your breath across emotions—anger, love, fear, focus—and rehearse patterns you can recall under pressure. The result is a subtle but profound shift from reactivity to response, from back-foot survival to front-foot presence. If you're ready to meet uncertainty with curiosity and calm, press play, breathe with us, and build your own breath catalog.Enjoyed the conversation?

Welcome to Day 2 of The Anxiety Alchemy Week, where you'll release anxiety by gently unwinding the tension it leaves behind in your body. In today's guided meditation, you'll work with a soothing affirmation—"I trust myself to meet this moment"—to quiet the inner alarm and shift out of fight-or-flight. You'll be guided through calming breathwork and a simple visualization to melt jaw tension, drop the shoulders, and ease tightness in the chest and belly, helping anxious thoughts lose their grip. If you've been feeling on edge, clenched, or emotionally braced, this practice will help you come back to steady, supported calm—one kind breath at a time. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Anxiety Alchemy Week,"  episodes 3451-3457. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: Welcome to The Anxiety Alchemy Week—a 7-day meditation series designed to help you release anxiety and transform that restless, buzzing energy into calm clarity and steady confidence. Each day, you'll be guided through a simple, body-based practice—breathwork, visualization, and gentle mindfulness—so you can soothe your nervous system, quiet spiraling thoughts, and feel more grounded in real life (not just during meditation). Think of this week as a soft return to yourself: less bracing, less overthinking, and more ease in your body, your choices, and your day. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "Anxiety Reset Que Challenge" Choose one daily "reset cue"—each time you touch a door handle, open your phone, or sit down, take one long exhale (or one round of your day's breath). Track it with 7 checkmarks (one per day) and notice the moment your body starts to relax faster—proof your nervous system is learning. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Anxiety Reset Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I trust myself to meet this moment." Day 3:  Anchor Breathing: inhale 4, exhale 6–8, repeat 8 rounds.

In today's guided meditation, you'll begin The Anxiety Alchemy Week by learning how to release anxiety without fighting it—and transform that nervous energy into calm clarity. You'll discover why anxiety often shows up as a protective signal (not a personal flaw), then you'll practice a soothing breath technique to quiet the body's alarm response and create a felt sense of safety. I'll guide you through a gentle visualization to soften tension, steady your mind, and help you return to yourself—grounded, present, and capable. If you've been feeling on edge, overwhelmed, or caught in anxious thoughts, this meditation will help you shift from spiraling to steady—one breath at a time.

Is there a “right” way to use herbs topically?Most people are familiar with salves, lotions, and creams—including non-herbalists!—but there are so many other ways that herbs can be used topically beyond these popular applications. From herbal baths and compresses to poultices and liniments (and yes, even suppositories!), topical remedies offer powerful, often immediate ways to support the body—that is, of course, if they're used appropriately.In this episode, I'll explore several different ways to work with herbs topically, and when you might choose one herbal preparation over another. You'll learn why some topical remedies work beautifully while others fall short—and how choosing the right form can make all the difference.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Ten different topical herbal preparations—and situations when each of them shines► One common mistake that will make your herbal oils much less effective► When to reach for a topical remedy made with water or alcohol instead of oil► Which topical remedies are best for localized situations, and which can provide whole-body support► When topical herbal preparations are great on their own—and when they're best paired with internal remedies and lifestyle support► and so much more…I'll also share details about how to join the free mini course that my friend and co-teacher, Emily Han, and I will be offering next week.

When we talk about "anti" herbs — antibacterial, antiviral, antimicrobial — it's easy to imagine plants acting like tiny soldiers fighting pathogens. But in this post, we're exploring a classic herbal triplet from the British Herbal Pharmacopeia that reveals something more profound: that herbs rarely just "kill the bug." Instead, they strengthen, mobilize, and clear heat and infection. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why this classic antiseptic triplet is traditionally indicated for infections How Garlic, Wild Indigo, and Echinacea each act on the blood, lymph, mucosa, and immune system The difference between killing pathogens vs. supporting host resistance Specific situations where this trio has historically been used — and important cautions Key dosing considerations (especially with low-dose herbs like Wild Indigo) Practical ideas for combining and tempering these herbs   ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve.   ———————————— ABOUT SAJAH ———————————— Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy. His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. He lives on a homestead in the foothills of Mt. Baker Washington with his wife Whitney where he teaches, consults clients, and prepares spagyric herbal medicines.    ———————————— WANT TO FEATURE US ON YOUR PODCAST? ———————————— If you'd like to interview Sajah or Whitney to be on your podcast, click here to fill out an interview request form.
