Tom Banger https://www.instagram.com/tombanger/?hl=en joins Luxa https://bsky.app/profile/luxastrata919.bsky.social to discuss the history, magic and exploits of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth. TOPY's work (with things like the cut-up method, experimenting with non-structuralist magic, art as magic, the use of sexual fluids in ritual, experimenting with language, experimenting with gender and identity, and more) has been a big influence on the practices of many modern magicians and artists and on modern occultism and art, at large. Tom explains how, although TOPY is often lumped in with Chaos Magic, there are some differences in approach that can be identified. We talk about organizing magical groups, what work and what didn't and more! Luxa shares thoughts about their own experiences in magical groups as well as listener mail and an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent forward 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.

To kick off Season 9, we are speaking with P1A, a contemporary artist, educator, and founder based in Istanbul, about all things web3 and art. We reflect on the NFT craze of 2021, and P1A shares why even though the hype has died down, NFTs are in fact not dead and on the contrary, art NFTs have a long way to grow and develop. We also talk about the work she's doing at her studio in Istanbul called Yazane, where she's helping educate other local artists about web3 and the impact that blockchain can have on their careers as artists. She not only uses the space as a gathering place and educational center but also as a gallery for local artists to be able to exhibit their works without paying the exorbitant fees they would to traditional galleries.P1A was nominated by David Phelps and voted onto the podcast by David Phelps, Richie Bonilla, Forage, and Triumph. COLLECT THIS EPISODESUBSCRIBE TO REHASH PODCAST CLUB (RPC) FOLLOW REHASH:TwitterWarpcast (Farcaster)TikTokInstagramNewsletterRehash Podcast Club (RPC)Diana Chen (Host) IMPORTANT LINKS:P1A's WebsiteTwitterWarpcast (Farcaster)Yazane Studio TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:22 P1A's background6:02 When NFTs started to make sense for P1A7:47 What fueled all the hype around NFTs in 2021?10:22 Are NFTs dead in 202414:57 Path to success for a traditional artist18:33 How web3 benefits artists20:29 Will art galleries become obsolete?23:20 How web3 affects traditional galleries28:47 How Yazane Studio in Istanbul is structured34:10 P1A's dream tool in web338:30 What P1A's working on currently41:18 Can You Not43:34 Follow P1A DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.

Nalini Malani is the 2023 Kyoto Prize Laureate in Arts and Philosophy. Using a variety of mediums including theater videos and mixed media installations, Malani is considered to be part of India's first generation of video artists. She is known for employing stop motion, erasure animations, reverse paintings and digital animations as tools for her craft. Her artwork is influenced by her family's experience of migration to the partition of India, but also showcases pressing feminist issues are part of her creativity. Malani's most recent installation, "My Reality is Different" uses the metaphor of the mythical figure of Cassandra who could foresee true prophecies but was never believed. This female side of the human psyche can open our eyes, and if therein the prognosis of the future is not suppressed, one can make sense of this life and steer it into a different, more humane direction, with the formulation of new civilizational values.

Meet my friend Ross Pino who's main focus is to conceptualize the awakening process. Who's juxtaposition allows you to see the story of life and death, good and evil, and the duality within the world. He also wants to set people free from negative mindsets and destructive thought patterns, and support their fullest elevated versions of themselves.  With only six years of art experience he had a gravitational pull as he said “ something inside was manifesting and pulling me to draw and create” we laughed and he said “ my guides were apart of this magical journey. Along with his inspiration from his daughter who was three  at the time and began doodling hearts on his skulls. He embraced her liberating freedom and he began to emulate that mind set into his pieces of artwork, combining the light and dark, and duality of life experiences.   Today, Ross has recently opened his art gallery in NYC showcasing a collection of pieces that define his authentic disposition and colorful juxtaposition  talent on canvas. Moving forward, he is aspiring to paint murals with his buddy Jason Naylor,  who is definitely a close colleague and alter ego partner that they sometimes seem to be the same person, with similar interests and passions. Many of these mural collaborations can be seen globally and domestically. The next collab will be Your Not Alone Murals @youarenotalonemurals  supporting mental conversations about mental health, posting of this event will be shared in his stories.  Thank you Ross for sharing the moments on the podcast. You  definitely have  cultivated a divisive audience with  art enthusiasts like Kesha and Channing Tatum, and of  course @ Coming From The Heart Podcast ❤️ You can connect with Ross on Instagram @rosspino88 or check out his website https://www.rosspino.com/

Carylon Cooper is an American contemporary artist whose work includes abstract, figurative, still life and animal portraits. Carylon was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1948, one of two daughters to Imogene & Herschel Cooper. She attended High School in Nashville and, since she was 19, she has called Chattanooga, TN home. Carylon's art education began at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and she followed that by majoring in art at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga (UTC) where she audited classes in printmaking and mono-printing. She spent time as a model in New York City before marriage and raising three children took priority. During a difficult first marriage, Carylon found peace in focusing on her fitness and became an endurance runner.  Her art proved to be her salvation through a second marriage, which ended after 30 years. Carylon is now happily single and feels stronger than she has ever been, She says: ”every single day of my life has been ordained.”  We hear about her discipline in the studio, and the profound impact of faith and perseverance on her life and legacy.

Carylon's art education began at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and she followed that by majoring in art at the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga (UTC) where she audited classes in printmaking and mono-printing. She spent time as a model in New York City before marriage and raising three children took priority.

Moms/Mother in Laws Quintessential Midwest mom of 3 adult kids who loves baking, reading, watching PBS shows, musicals, traveling, and getting her steps in walking her two black labs. Has been referred to as the "mommiest mom" in the past. Puts up with a lot of BS from her curmudgeonly husband (my dad). I've given her many kitchen items and books over the years. Favorite brands are things like Emma Bridgewater, Hanna Anderson, and Talbots. I recently moved to NYC, so I'm hoping to get her something that will make her feel less "abandoned" and more cared for.
