For this month's episode of Magus we're raising up the Divine Feminine and discussing the life and works of Dion Fortune!Both Violet Mary Firth in Llandudno in Welsh Caernarfonshire, she claimed always to be from Yorkshire - just like the claimed she could astral project, psychically communicate with the living and the dead, and seek advice within the Otherworld from the Illuminati of 'Hidden Masters.' After entering womanhood during the Great War, serving as a Land Girl, and training as a pioneering psychotherapist, Dion Fortune, as an alter-ego, emerged both in fiction and 'non-fiction' to explode patriarchal traditions within occult circles.Her cult, which grew to tens of thousands in the 1930s, then claimed to have raised the soul of King Arthur who, working alongside Winston Churchill and the Virgin Mary, helped Dion to topple Fascism.Did she believe some out-there stuff? Absolutely. Was she a fraud? Well, that's harder to say, but from psychic duels with hypnotist headmistresses to ropes of ectoplasm, battles with vampires to creative approaches to inter-personal relationships, this is her magical life, and we hope you find it inspiring!

This season, I've introduced the shift from viewing my mental differences as pathology toward building an Architecture for Play that works with my mind—introducing the Sentinel, the Scout, and the Sojourner as the three stances that make High-Fidelity roleplay possible. In the last episode, I walked you through deploying the Scout—the stance that lets me discover the Otherworld alongside my players using sensory detail instead of scripts, whether we're docking at Dorsey or brainstorming character archetypes. Now that we've explored the ground, it's time to get a handle on the other people in the Otherworld – the NPCs.If you've struggled with consistently running a believable fantastic Otherworld for upwards of a half-dozen sessions without driving yourself crazy, there might be something here for you.Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:roleplayrescue@pm.meBlogroleplayrescue.com Bluesky Social:https://bsky.app/profile/ubiquitousrat.bsky.socialRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/Logo and artwork by MJ Hiblen:https://www.patreon.com/MJHiblenART/ Hosted on Acast.

Today, Sam and Morgan dive into their caffeine habits and whether taking a step back might not be worth it. Side note: Morgan absolutely cannot do seltzer drinks at all. We also discuss the second novel in the Rose Bargain series, The Thorn Queen by Sasha Peyton Smith. As the story comes to a close, we reflect on whether the sequel lives up to our love for the first book in the series. About The Novel: Having won the hand of the faerie King Bram, Ivy is now Queen of England. But with his ascension to the throne, Bram unleashed the fae into the human world. After hundreds of years of being kept from their favorite playthings, the Others are looking to make up for lost time—and they do, with wicked revelry that sweeps through the country. To survive, Ivy acts the sweet, devoted wife. Behind the smile, she plots to banish her husband, save her sister Lydia, and reunite with the love of her life, Emmett. Yet Emmet and Lydia are trapped in the Otherworld, where fae games are deadlier than ever—and a queen must play most viciously of all. Or see herself dethroned. Wanna check us out? Then click here!
In Episode 2, I outlined how the Sentinel acts as the pre-play architect who establishes the creative constraints of the Otherworld. Defining the Where, When, and How, we create a stable foundation of consistency that transforms anxiety into a secure framework for High-Fidelity play.This episode, we engage with the Scout and get our boots on the ground somewhere on the Solomani Front. During the actual sessions, I am not a narrator reading a script; I am an explorer discovering the world alongside the players. I use my senses to describe the texture of the stone, the smell of the rain, and the sound of the wind. I am the camera, the microphone, and the sensory input for the characters.

In episode one, I introduced the way in which I have learned to manage the specific ways in which my mind operates. As an anxious person with a fast-moving and deeply curious mind, I have found it necessary to lean into the specific differences that make me who I am over trying to shoe-horn my hobby into someone else's methods. I'm moving away from viewing my mental differences as pathology and towards creating an Architecture for Play that fits the way my mind prefers to work. This time, we take the first of three deeper dives into the stances outlined in Episode 1. The Sentinel is a mental stance adopted before play begins. It is the act of circumscribing the circle for play—a "creative constraint"—that defines the Where, When, and How of the Otherworld. He is the one with one eye on consistency and the other on the rules. The Sentinel is the arbiter of the game's reality. To help us move away from theory and into practice, I am going to actively connect these episodes to the development of the next long-form roleplaying game campaign that I would like to create. By grounding everything I am talking about in a practical example, it's my hope that you'll be able to see both the methodology in play and draw out ideas for working on your own approaches.

Steve Dale, WGN Radio's pet expert and host of Steve Dale's Pet World and Steve Dale's Other World, joins John Landecker to talk about Dog Bite Prevention Week.
For a long time, I thought the friction in my hobby was a personal failure. I used to record my GM's Journal while running, wind hitting the mic, breathless and fumbling, calling myself the "world's flakiest GM." I saw my diagnoses of ADHD, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, and Social Anxiety as bugs in the system—things I had to "overcome" just to run an RPG session.This season, we're stopping the drift. I'm moving away from viewing my mental differences as pathology and towards creating an Architecture for Play that fits the way my mind prefers to work. I have stopped trying to 'fix' my brain. I've realised my brain isn't broken; it's just a different kind of receiver to the one some people have. I've stopped fighting the symptoms that troubled me and started seeing them as features rather than bugs. I call this 'High-Fidelity' play. The invocation of the Otherworld with as little distortion as possible. Aiming for an experience that feels like something original and real. A true secondary world created with and for my players.Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message:speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon:patreon.com/rpgrescue Email:roleplayrescue@pm.meBlogroleplayrescue.com Bluesky Social:https://bsky.app/profile/ubiquitousrat.bsky.socialRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/Logo and artwork by MJ Hiblen:https://www.patreon.com/MJHiblenART/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Big Crystal Energy, I'm joined by the incredible Morgan Daimler—author, folklorist, and one of the most fascinating modern voices in the world of fairy lore— magical conversation about the fae, the Otherworld, and why so many of us feel drawn to this realm long before we fully understand it.We talk about childhood experiences, the ways fairy encounters can show up in ordinary life, and why fairies are so much more complex than the sparkly, winged version most of us were taught to imagine. Morgan shares how their own lifelong relationship with the good folk began, how folklore and lived experience can work together, and why keeping a sense of wonder may be one of the most important things we can do.This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt an unexplainable pull toward the fairy realm, sensed that there was something just beyond the veil, or wondered if fairies are still with us now—just in forms we may not always recognize.In this episode, we explore: Morgan's personal history with the fae and how they came to this work Why children may be especially open to fairy experiences The difference between folklore-based fairies and the modern pop culture version Fairies as an umbrella term for many different kinds of beings The concept of the Otherworld and how it exists alongside our own Glamour, perception, and whether fairies appear to us the way we expect them to Why fairy encounters can happen in both wild places and everyday spaces How fairy imagery evolved over time into the tiny winged archetype The nuance of “good” fairies, dangerous fairies, and everything in between How to approach working with fairies respectfully and with discernment Brian Froud, Labyrinth, and the art that helps us feel the fairy realm more deeply The importance of childlike wonder, openness, and whimsy Books and references mentioned:Fairycraft by Morgan Daimler Fairycraft: Following The Path Of Fairy Witchcraft: Daimler author of Irish Paganism, Morgan: 9781785350511: Amazon.com: Books Morgan's upcoming book on the Fairy Courts Fairy Courts, The: From Folklore to Fiction: Daimler, Morgan: 9781803418384: Amazon.com: BooksFairy FolkGood Faeries / Bad Faeries by Brian Froud Send me any questions or comments you may have and I will answer them on upcoming podcast episodes!!

On March 17th, you are expected to wear green. Not invited. Expected. But in the oldest folklore of the island this holiday claims to celebrate, green was the one color you were warned never to wear. It was the fairy color. The color of the Otherworld. Wearing it was trespass, an invitation to be taken by beings who were older than Christianity and indifferent to its authority. So how did a color of danger become a color of celebration? Tonight we trace the full arc. The fairy prohibition documented in centuries of Irish folklore. The revelation that St. Patrick's actual color was blue, not green. The moment Irish rebels adopted the dangerous color as their flag. The medieval Green Man carvings in churches across Europe that nobody can explain. And the modern St. Patrick's Day, a diaspora invention that turned a quiet holy day into a global compulsion ritual enforcing the wearing of a color the old warnings said to avoid.

In celebration of Women's History Month, this episode is about four lesser-known goddesses of the ancient Egyptian afterlife whose primary roles were to protect, nourish, and occasionally punish those within the city of the dead. While famous deities often dominate pop culture, these four goddesses offer a unique window into how the Egyptians viewed the natural world and the social roles of mortal women. Discover the stories and archaeological footprints of Imentet who was the personification of the West; Khefethernebes and Meretseger who were both from the Theban Necropolis; and Hapetnebes from the Abydan Necropolis. From the royal tombs to the graffiti of tomb builders, this episode traces how the divine feminine provided a sense of security for both the physical body and the soul on its journey through the Duat.

This week, Scott was joined by Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien, Lawfare Senior Editor Molly Roberts, and University of Virginia Professor of Law Paul Stephan to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Textual Healing.” On Friday, a 6-3 Supreme Court majority brought an end to at least the current iteration of President Trump's controversial tariff policies, ruling that language in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (or IEEPA) authorizing the “regulation of…importation” doesn't include the authority to impose tariffs. That said, President Trump himself has already indicated that he intends to reinstate many of the tariffs he had installed using IEEPA under other statutory authorities. How big a setback is this for the Trump administration's trade policies? And what might it mean for other aspects of its policy agenda?“Mayhem in Mexico.” Over the weekend, an elite unit of the Mexican army killed one of the country's most powerful drug kingpins, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho.” His syndicate, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, immediately retaliated, through attacks on Mexican security forces, roadblocks throughout the country, and other measures intended to terrorize the public, particularly in areas frequented by American and Western tourists. The decision to move against El Mencho followed an intense pressure campaign by the Trump administration, which has pushed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to take a hard stand against the cartels. Should this be seen as a win for the Trump administration? Or Sheinbaum? And what could the long-term implications be for the U.S.-Mexico relationship?“Clap if You Believe.” On Tuesday, President Trump delivered his annual State of the Union address, the longest of its kind. Many had braced for a contentious speech, expecting Trump to ridicule the justices seated in front of him and potentially even announce strikes on Iran. But Trump appeared to pull his punches on both of those fronts—he instead saved his harshest words for congressional Democrats and focused on laying out a rose-colored picture of the state of the country. How effective was Trump's speech? And what does it tell us about the current state of his second presidency?In object lessons, Tyler just has this strange sense that you will enjoy the Otherworld podcast. Molly (and her dog) find comfort in the soft, squishy claws of Cthulhu. Scott eased his travel woes with a twist on the Vieux Carre at Birch & Bloom in Charlottesville. And Paul mixed his object lesson with three parts: Peter Suderman's Cocktails if you're into all things shaken and stirred; Mark Galeotti's podcast, In Moscow's Shadow, if you're into all things Russia-related; and Dan Wang's New York Times Best Seller book, “Breakneck,” if you're into all things China-related.

Celtic Shamanism with Rhonda McCrimmon In this rich and grounding episode, we step into the ancient roots of Celtic Shamanism with Rhonda McCrimmon, teacher, practitioner, author and keeper of living Celtic wisdom. Together, we explore what Celtic Shamanism truly is (and what it is not), how it differs from modern eclectic practices, and why honoring lineage, land, and ancestry matters now more than ever. Rhonda shares insights into working with the Otherworld, ancestral connection, sovereignty, and the rhythms of nature that shape Celtic spiritual practice. We discuss the role of myth, devotion, and relationship with the land, as well as how contemporary seekers can approach Celtic paths with integrity, respect, and depth. This conversation is an invitation to remember your roots, your relationship to the unseen, and the quiet power of walking an ancient path with presence and humility.

Before Roswell made UFOs a household name, strange craft were already haunting our skies. In the early 1900s, from the battlefields of World War I to quiet farmlands across the globe, witnesses reported encounters with mysterious airships, glowing discs, and their otherworldly occupants.
