ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult

This episode explores the role of protection magic as a historically grounded response to war, oppression, and systemic violence across diverse cultural and temporal contexts.Drawing on peer-reviewed academic sources, it examines how magical practices—rituals, talismans, verbal formulae, and spirit invocations—have been used as forms of spiritual defence and political resistance. From Mesopotamian anti-witchcraft rites and Greco-Roman defensive curses to medieval Christian amulets, Renaissance grimoires, and the Magical Battle of Britain, the lecture situates protection magic within broader religious, social, and cosmological frameworks.Special attention is given to non-Western and postcolonial contexts, including the ritual technologies of Haitian Vodou during the revolution, Obeah in the British Caribbean, Yoruba warrior rites, and Andean protective ceremonies. The discussion also considers contemporary expressions of magical protection, including digital activist magic, Chaos Magic, and the esoteric disciplines of Damien Echols under carceral conditions.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Mortellus https://www.instagram.com/acrowandthedead/?hl=en joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to discuss their recent book, Necrobotany, and explore some intersections between working with plants and working with the dead. Myths surrounding the term, necromancy, are dispelled as we look into how aspersion was cast on such work in the past. Mortellus shares about ways of honoring the death which surrounds us and which makes life possible. Also explored are the histories of items such as the Ouija Board and the game, Monopoly, as well as the chaste origins of the Graham Cracker. During an episode within the episode, poet and host of the Brutal Wisconsin podcast, CJ Lane https://www.facebook.com/people/CJ-Lane-Poetry/100091730372484/ shares about his poetry project, Caught One Glimpse, which was created with a process using the cut-up method and the Greek Magical Papyri. Language and name magic are discussed, and Mothman also makes an appearance! Luxa shares listener mail, including a discussion about accelerationism and chaos magic and a supporter/listener bibliomancy break. There's also 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.

We're talking about necromancy, the practice of communing with the dead via ritual. We explore a cave full of lamps and skulls, climb into a ghost pit, and flip through some Babylonian spellbooks.

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!!!

Hekate and The Moon: Illuminating The Mysteries of The Night

Keeping Her Keys

I can't think of a better first episode for the new year than by illuminating Hekate's connection with the moon. The healing essence of the moon evokes the intuition, deep inquiry into the self, and connects us to our emotions. In the following incantation I invoked the spirit of Hekate Paionios (The Healer). The inspiration for this comes from an ancient verse in The Greek Magical Papyri. You'll find the complete version, along with an entire chapter dedicated to lunar healing in Entering Hekate's Cave, now available wherever books are sold. On this new moon, Help me, Paionios. On this new moon, I choose compassion, courage, and wisdom from this day forward. Guide me, Paionios, so I may so live within your mercy. On this new moon, I commit to seeing the light in myself and others, And to honoring the darkness in others and myself. Show me, Paionios, so I can see from the soul. On this new moon, I dedicate myself to grace and peace. Reveal them in me, Paionios. Render me an instrument of love and healing. May I be guided by your wisdom, Protected by your strength, And blessed by your fierce love. I am free of limitations. Safe, healed, and whole. Hekate is an ancient goddess associated with the moon, symbolizing the connection between the divine feminine and the mysteries of creation. To the ancients, her association with the moon symbolized both her darkness and her pale light that shines through. The Moon Goddess represents the great Regeneratrix, with the phases evoking the cycle of creation (waxing), fullness (full), release (waning), and rebirth (new). Along with her frequent companions, Artemis and Selene, they form a version of the Triple Goddess (Triformis), with the new (dark) moon as the liminal, the mystery, and the dark womb of the goddess. Hekate is most strongly associated with the Dark Moon (astronomical new moon). From rituals in antiquity to today, the night when the moon is hidden evokes the spirit of mysteries. Hekate encourages us to go beyond what we see with the eyes and use our intuition, connect to our emotions, and look within, all spiritual qualities of the moon. Watch with transcript and CC HERE.

Korshi Dosoo is the leader of the junior research group project 'The Coptic Magical Papyri: Vernacular Religion in Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt' at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg. Formerly ATER (lecturer) at the University of Strasbourg and post-doctoral researcher on the Labex RESMED project Les mots de la paix. His PhD thesis, 'Rituals of Apparition on the Theban Magical Library' was completed in 2015 at Macquarie University, Australia. His research focuses on magic and lived religion in Egypt from the Ptolemaic to Mamluk periods as revealed by papyrological and epigraphic sources. In this interview, Korshi begins by explaining what magical papyri are, where they came from, how they were used, and how people would obtain these texts. He also discusses his views about the concept of magic, and whether ancient people thought differently about 'magic' than contemporary people do. Our conversation then moves to modern occult practices and ritual magic, in particular, the use of a text taken from the Theban Magical Library Codex that is now known as 'The Headless God' or 'The Bornless Rite.' Korshi also shares his experience as 'impromptu' translator of a mysterious copper plate, thought by authorities to be written in Coptic, that was originally believed to be linked to an unsolved murder case from 1970, and his involvement in the podcast dedicated to this case, 'The WVU Coed Murders.' While some might think that the scholary study of ancient languages and texts to be far removed from everyday life, this example shows the importance of academic research for real-world issues. Korshi is also part of a team that produces 'The Coptic Magical Papyri Podcast,' where interested people can learn more about this special area of research. REFERENCES Dr. Korshi Dosoo:(99+) Korshi Dosoo | University of Würzburg - Academia.eduCoptic Magical Papyri Website (podcast link available there): Coptic Magical Papyri (uni-wuerzburg.de)Facebook page: Coptic Magical Papyri | FacebookPodcast Episode - Appalachian Mysteria: Mared and Karen: The Magical Plate Decoded: Appalachian Mysteria: Mared and Karen: The Magical Plate Decoded on Apple PodcastsAbout Mared & Karen: About Mared & Karen | WVU Coed MurdersBooks and Scholars Mentioned: Dr. Bernd Christian Otto (magic): (99+) Bernd-Christian Otto | Universität Erfurt - Academia.eduDamon Zacharias Lycourinos (magic): (99+) Damon Zacharias Lycourinos - Academia.eduZora Neale Hurston (anthropology): Zora Neale HurstonMichael Cecchetelli: The Book of Abrasax: Cecchetelli, Michael: 9780990568728: Amazon.com: BooksJake Stratton-Kent: The Headless One — HADEAN PRESS (hadeanpress-eu.com)Hans Deiter Betz: (99+) The Greek Magical Papyri in Translation, including the Demotic Spells | Roy Kotansky - Academia.eduCharles Wycliffe Goodwin: (PDF) Fragment Of A Graeco Egyptian Work Upon Magic Download eBOOK (bookarchive.net)Sir James Frazer: goldenbough.pdf (templeofearth.com)Allen Greenfield: The Complete Secret Cipher of the Ufonauts by Allen Greenfield (goodreads.com)  Music: Stephanie Shea

In this episode, I am joined by astrologer, author, and artist Cat Rose Neligan. Cat incorporates astrology into her work coaching small business owners, helping artists, writers, musicians and all kinds of creatives to better understand themselves, identify their calling, and share their work with the world. Cat and I discuss the personal daimon, a tutelary spirit with a long and varied history. Some associate it with the holy guardian angel, some with a protector spirit, but Cat has found that the personal daimon is perhaps more strongly connected with guiding us toward our destiny than anything else. She discusses methods of both contacting and working with your daimon, the daimon's astrological associations, and other related topics. Many listeners will be familiar with various aspects of this topic already. Socrates, for instance, is famous for having a daimon that spoke to him. Many of us have experimented with the techniques of the Book of Abramelin or the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Even the various helper spirit rituals of the Greek Magical Papyri might be related to this topic. Cat's work with the personal daimon has led to a book!

Please welcome with me this week's guest, Zemaemidjehuty Setepentoth, author with Theion Publishing, teacher at The Blackthorne School, expert on ancient Egyptian occult knowledge and magic and founder and Reverend of The Church of Flesh and Feather in Illinois. Zemmi, as he prefers to be called for the sake of keeping his name from being pronounced in rather creative ways, grew up in the mid-west, a deep Christian part of the US where the community demanded becoming Christian without offering resources or explanations. Due to the lack of being able to experience the divine within these narrow boundaries Zemmi started exploring different religions in his area as he felt a need for spirituality but couldn't find the necessary elements there to develop it properly. However, a rather dramatic epiphany happened in Rome, Missouri, that we'll be talking about in detail which ultimately inspired Zemmi to devote himself to the god Thoth. From then resources seemed to open up showing the path further ahead of him. Major changes were about to happen and led to him to the founding of The Church of Flesh and Feather. In this extraordinary conversation we'll be exploring how the divine can be encountered and how Zemmi's books, ‘The Litanies of Thoth' and ‘The Book of Flesh and Feather', both by Theion Publishing, can open up ways to do so. Deconstruction of language, body work and altered states of mind will be relevant topics as well as understanding how ancient devotional practice can be prolonged into the 21st century and how its elements can be used to build something that basically mirrors the Greek Magical Papyri. There will be an interesting exchange on the definitions of devotion and magic and some advice for how to start out if you feel drawn to this specific current. Zemmi will elaborate his thoughts on teaching and the contents of his course on Ancient Egyptian Magic in the Modern World at The Blackthorne School which lasts over the period of 13 weeks the next one starting on June 28. Upcoming projects will be another part of the conversation as well including three books that are already in work, a full magical system that opens the gates to Zemmi's devotional practice, Tehuti inspired oracle cards and much more. AT THE END OF THE INTERVIEW (AFTER THE THIRD MUSICAL PIECE, STARTING AT 1:38:32) LISTEN TO AN EXCERPT FROM A VOWEL INTONATION MEDITATION BY REVEREND ZEMMI. The full version and other videos of the same type can be found at his YouTube Channel Music played in this episode Today's music should reflect the encounter between Ancient Egypt and its traditions, which are of course also very present in the musical culture of contemporary traditional Egyptian music, and the Western classical music tradition, here represented by one of the greatest nusical geniuses, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. And no, we are not talking about "Magic Flute", but about a project that has been produced some time back and which I remembered when producing this episode. "Mozart in Egypt" is the name of the project, and it marries in a wonderfully creative way those two musical and cultural backgrounds, just as Reverend Zemmi seems to do in his religious approach.   1) SYMPHONIE EGYPTIENNE, for Traditional Ensemble(After the First Movement from Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G Minor, K. 183) (Track starts at 6:38)   2) CONCERTO FOR OUD AND PIANO(After the "Adagio" from Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K. 488) (Track starts at 53:33)   3) LAMMA BADA YATATHANNA, for Voices and Traditional Ensemble(After the First Movement from Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550) (Track starts at 1:32:41)

Please welcome this week's guest on the show, Sara Mastros from Pittsburgh who teaches witchcraft, Greek and Near Eastern mythology, Jewish Kabbalah, Pythagorean Mysticism, and practical sorcery online, and at festivals all over the East Coast. Sara grew up in the Amish part of Pennsylvania although not Amish herself within a family that merged Greek and Jewish cultural backgrounds. Magic was not exactly taboo but it seemed that some family members hoped Sara would eventually grow out of this ‘episode' which she was interested in from early age on. At age eight she ordered two books on witchcraft from a catalogue, namely ‘Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft' and ‘Encyclopedia of White Magic' by Paddy Slade. Those were the starting points of further explorations into the practice of witchcraft and magic which lead Sara to university libraries and further to the discovery of different grimoires. In the early 2000s, Sara began to work with the Greek Magical Papyri and then with the Orphic Hymns where some doubts arose on the accuracy of previous translations. Eager to understand the material in depth Sara went on to teaching herself Greek because this was the only way to satisfy her need for historical accuracy as well as for gaining the ability to dive deep into the material in terms of magical workings. The result was the publishing of the highly appraised ‘Orphic Hymns Grimoire' where Sara strives for accuracy in translation but at the same time takes the nature of the respective god/goddess into account. In this episode, we'll be talking about the definition of a witch, different categories of magic/witchcraft, and how the translation of words and practice from the distant past creates tension and ways to deal with it. Sara's teaching work will be also a subject along with some good advice for beginners and an outlook on her upcoming book project, ‘The Big Book of Magical Incense' which already open for pre-order.

Join us on our deep dive into icky pagan magic. We discuss the magical practices of the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians and how some of these practices made their way, through the systematizing hands of the Greeks, into the pagan Roman world. During our journey we identify the core features of pagan magic and explore a variety of magical practices, including the casting of spells (sadistic love spells and vicious binding spells), the use of magical objects (such as amulets and talismans), necromancy (skull divination and corpse reanimation), and child sacrifice. We focus our discussion on concrete evidence as we detail the Greco-Roman magical practises recorded on various papyri and tablets (including especially the well-known Greek Magical Papyri). Tracing the continued use of magic through the ages, we provide several shocking examples of the blatant use of magic in our culture today, including how magic was used by the celebrated six-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Tom Brady, and how witches have been active in binding and hexing public figures such as Bret Kavanaugh and Donald Trump. Of course, we also detail the Christian view and response to pagan magic. And, as it turns out, the chthonic entities (e.g., the subterranean goddesses) somehow rear their pagan heads once more.Episode Timeline & Notes0:00:36 - Opening0:02:02 - General Intro to Ancient MagicWatson, L.C.

Scattered across many museums, there are scrolls of Papyrus from the Early Common Era. Strange documents filled with spells of all kinds, formulae, prayers, hymns, rituals and rites. Their influences are all over the place- Egyptian, Greek, Jewish, Babylonian, Coptic even Gnostic and Christian. They are called the Greek Magical Papyri. Amazing documents that give us a glimpse into how magic was performed for a period of time, even though many of the spells date from much further back. Their existence is Miraculous. In this episode of WMiT, Doug is joined by Matthew to discuss a kind of magic that the host uses on a near weekly basis- Graeco-Egyptian Magic!

  In this episode we talk with Dr James Reitveld about his comprehensive work on the great Goddess Artemis of the Ephesians. Dr Rietveld takes us to the ancient metropolis of Ephesus in Anatolia and explains when, where and why this version of Artemis came to be. We discuss her connections to Isis, Cybele, Hekate, Demeter and the virgin Mary, as well as explore the rich symbolism that arises from this rich syncretism. We also talk about the fascinating Ephesian Grammata; their origins, uses and connections to the Greek Magical Papyri and Testament of Solomon. Also, we cant talk about Ephesus without discussing the extremely significant history it has in early Christianity. All of this and more. Enjoy!

In this episode, Erik interviews the hosts of The Magician and the Fool Podcast, Janus and Dominic. They dive right into what it means to be a magician, but the conversation explores Renaissance magic, the Greek Magical Papyri, Norse mythology, and Pittsburgh. How do the Magician and the Fool relate to the Trickster? We explore cultural archetypes through Norse mythology, other mythology, crazy anecdotes, and weird experiences. We also talk about the experience of running an occult podcast, and how the guests we bring on influence and change our lives in ways that we hadn’t anticipated. Talking to these guys was amazing.

She's been using tarot for over 20 years, giving workshops and lectures internationally. Kim was initiated into Vodou in Sosyete Gade Nou Leve in 2009.

When did the phrase "word of God" come to be associated with the Bible? Whatâ??s the deal with the King James Only movement? The Trees of Knowledge and of life were set aside for the gods. Humans were exiled from Eden and prevented from partaking. But the Serpent already has knowledge and is not condemned to die, unlike Adam & Eve. Nor is he said to have been excluded from Eden. Doesnâ??t all this imply he was one of the gods? Why were Enoch, Jubilees, etc., excluded from the Bible? Did any eastern religious ideas end up in Christianity? Is organized religion just an elaborate scam? In view of the incantational use of words printed in all caps in the Greek Magical Papyri, might Gal 6:11 denote occult purposes? Can you account for the variation in the saying about how to pray, in which there seems to have been a variation in using 'Holy Spirit' (in Marcion and early Luke) and 'Rule of God' (in Matthew and later Luke)?. Why were the important prayers â??Abba Your Name be Hallowedâ?? and â??Your Will be Doneâ?? left out in Marcion and Luke as well as the texts surrounding the prayers? Is the story of the â??hanging upâ?? of Saulâ??s male relatives in 2 Samuel 21:8-10 a neglected case of human sacrifice in the OT? By making Jesus the generated son of the Almighty, does not the Christian mythology rule out his being the Davidic Messiah? God, after all, is certainly no descendant of David. Is the â??synagogue of Satanâ?? reference in Revelation a reference to Paulinst congregations of so-called Jews? An alternative interpretation of the Absalom story.
