Andrieh and Zachary are joined this week by Mondo. Mondo initiated in the OTO in 1993 at Mountain Temple Oasis and later took the first and second degrees. He is also in the Golden Dawn and currently holds the 8°=3° in the Order of the Rosy Cross from a Luciferian/Satanic perspective. After reading Liber vel Magi, he knew that organization did not have enough results-oriented magic for him. Mondo kept up with sorcery and ritual magic using the Norse, Santos, Santeria, Voudon, and Ceremonial paradigms. Later he got introduced to Satanic, Luciferian, and Setian thaumaturgy and incorporated it into his work derived from the left-hand path philosophies to this day. Eventually, he got involved in Chaos magic and joined an organization in which he has participated for the last twenty-seven years blending the paradigms he mentioned into an eclectic results magic meta paradigm using Chaos magic techniques. His magics are results-oriented sorcery and ritual magic on an individual level. Mondo is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to magic, and Andrieh and Zachary are excited to have him on the show this week. Be sure to tune in for an engaging discussion. --- Subscribe And Listen To Queen City Curio and Apothecary VideoCast & Deeper Down The Rabbit Hole Podcast Here YT: @ QueenCityCurioandApothecaryVideoCast/ Apple: https://apple.co/3Arnw07 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ARgMKj ----- Connect with Queen City Curio and Apothecary & Deeper Down The Rabbit Hole LEARN: Become a Sponsor & gain access to 60+ online workshops and other benefits: https://resultsoverimage.teachable.com/p/tin-sponsor/ —------- Subscribe to Queen City Curio and Apothecary VideoCast Here: QueenCityCurioandApothecaryVideoCast/ — Subscribe And Listen To Queen City Curio and Apothecary VideoCast & Deeper Down The Rabbit Hole Podcast Here YT: @ QueenCityCurioandApothecaryVideoCast/ Apple: https://apple.co/3Arnw07 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ARgMKj ----- Connect with Queen City Curio and Apothecary & Deeper Down The Rabbit Hole LEARN: Become a Sponsor & gain access to 60+ online workshops and other benefits: https://resultsoverimage.teachable.com/p/tin-sponsor/ SHOP: Candles, Herbs, Tumble Stones, Oils, Tarot Decks, and much more. https://queencitycurio.ca/

[Originally produced and aired in 2019] Vodun, Voodoo, racialization into Black Magic as currently understood is a distorted figment of a Western imagination. Voodoo is narrated as a sensationalized ‘pop-culture' caricature of voudon, which is an Afro-Caribbean spiritual system that was brought with enslaved Africans forced onto the plantations in Haiti, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, the United States and elsewhere. The fictitious associations with drinking blood sacrifices, voodoo dolls or zombies are directly a result of the same dehumanization processes innate in a system of chattel slavery, the lifeblood of racial capitalism. To be clear at the onset, Voudon is "an assortment of cultural elements: personal creeds and practices, including an elaborate system of folk medical practices; a system of ethics transmitted across generations [including] proverbs, stories, songs, and folklore... voudon is more than belief; it is a way of life," wrote Leslie Desmangles, a Haitian professor at Hartford's Trinity College in "The Encyclopedia of the Paranormal" (Prometheus Books, 1996). Voudon teaches belief in a supreme being called Bondye, an unknowable and uninvolved creator god. Voudon practitioners recognize many ancestral spirits (called loa), each one of whom is responsible for a specific domain or part of life. Followers of voudon see a universal energy and a soul that can leave the body during dreams and spirit possession. In Western Christian theology, spiritual possession is usually considered to be an act of evil, either Satan or some demonic entity trying to enter an unwilling human vessel, unless of course you go to black worship services. This is in contrast to the fact that in voudon, possession by loa is desired. In a ceremony guided by a priest or priestess, this possession is considered a valuable, first-hand spiritual experience and connection with the spirit world. In 1685, variations of a practice to forbid the practice of African religions and required all masters to Christianize their slaves within eight days of their arrival—which codified into various laws. Slavery was condoned by the Catholic Church as a tool for converting Africans to morally upright Christians. Furthermore, one Haitian scholar notes, "Many of the African spirits were adapted to their new environment in the New World. Ogun, for instance, the Nigerian spirit of iron-smiths, hunting and warfare took on a new persona... He became Ogou, the military leader who has led phalanxes into battle against oppression. In Haiti today, Ogou inspires many political revolutions that oust undesirable oppressive regimes." The practices of dehumanization and hiding Africans histories (it is a misunderstanding to say African histories are lost)…has contributed much to the survival of racist logics that promotes false notions and ideas of racial white supremacy. These practices were applied to Africana total existence. Nevertheless, the spiritual practices of the various peoples who were forced across the oceans have ancient origins. In fact, we can see ancient links between the Yoruba peoples and ancient Egypt…. Today, we are pleased to have filmmaker Onuora Anthony Abuah back with us to talk about another one his films, a two-part documentary that explores the Danhomé Kingdom. Part 1 is titled, Danhomé & Vodun and Part 2 is titled, Voodoo in Togo. As a filmmaker and under the banner of AEA Films UK, his projects include MONA, Catching a Thief, Woodfalls, Woolwhich Boys. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

Greetings to the Living. And the Dead. In this episode of Up Is Down I speak with author, magician and survivor Nathaniel J Harris who hails from a long line of notorious occultists and practicing magicians in the UK. We discuss chaos magick and his departure from the so-called "magick scene". He details some of the fraud that makes up what is considered by many to be chaos magick and names a few names of those who have made a business of misinforming people and manufacturing consent, particularly the Initiates Of Thanateros. (IOT)Nathaniel is quite outspoken in the area of calling out pedos, frauds and abusers. Just check out his youtube channel. We spend some time discussing Satanic Ritual Abuse, mind-control, Voudon (voodoo for you westerners) and creative civil disobedience.He has authored several books on the occult including his life practice integrating I Ching into chaos magick with science and technology in a 21st century grimoire entitled Neuronomicon. He has also written an autobiography of his upbringing in an occult bloodline, Accidental Antichrist, which is equally funny, informative and tragic. I hope you enjoy this episode and check out his channel and look into his books. I have a feeling Nathaniel and I will be speaking again in the future, so stay tuned for more information about his work and the philosophy and practice of the Neuronomicon.

What is Voodoo? (This History of a Mis-Represented Religion)OriginsIn 64 AD, a great fire broke out in Rome for six days and devastated much of the city. According to the writer Tacitus (Tacitus was a Roman orator and public official. He is widely regarded to have been among the most important Roman historians and to have been one of the greatest prose stylists who wrote in the Latin language.), “Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace.” The “abominations” committed by the early Christians were said to be cannibalism and incest, based on rumors circulating in Rome at that time which stemmed from a misunderstanding of the Eucharist. (Eucharist, also called Holy Communion or Lord's Supper, in Christianity, ritual commemoration of Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples, at which (according to tradition) he gave them bread with the words, “This is my body,” and wine with the words, “This is my blood.” )This episode in the history of the early Church shows how easily a religion, especially a relatively secretive one, can be misunderstood and misrepresented. A similar case can perhaps be seen in the religion known as Voodoo (also known as Vodou or Voudon). For many, the word ‘Voodoo’ conjures up images of magical dolls with pins stuck in them to inflict pain on one’s enemies and the resurrection of the dead as zombies. These images are the result of the misrepresentation of Voodoo by popular culture, and do not accurately represent Voodoo as understood by its practitioners.History of voudonVoudon originated with slaves who combined elements of their West African traditions and beliefs with the Roman Catholicism imposed upon them by their masters in a process called syncretism. A 1685 law forbade the practice of African religions and required all masters to Christianize their slaves within eight days of their arrival. Slavery was condoned by the Catholic Church as a tool for converting Africans to morally upright Christians. Slaves forced to adopt Catholic rituals thus gave them double meanings, and in the process many of their spirits became associated with Christian saints.

Voudon has a long and often stigmatised history. Sit back and relax and the ghouls discuss voudon and its many facets. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We'll put a spell on you. Come and explore the beautiful, mysterious, and misunderstood culture of Voudon, commonly known as Voodoo. This culture isn't all pins in dolls and hexes. We're talking A Game of Thrones levels of intrigue. Was the fact that Voodoo was so misunderstood, the force that gave it power? Come with us on this journey, and don't forget your plastic hairdressing cape. Content Warning: rape, slavery, graphic descriptions of gore and violence, murder

This week we discuss the mysterious death of Kat Restin, a twenty-year-old who was found dead after allegedly summoning the Voudon spirit of Baron Samedi. We also talk about next week's horrifying episode, and one of the podcasts's favourite Australian horror films: The Tunnel.EPISODE NOTES: Remember when that one famly member told you to never play with a Ouija board? Well - imagine that, but with Voodoo. There is a deep and extremely rich cultural significance of Voodoo that stems back hunderds of years, and with such a rich history, one should proceed with caution when delving into such old magic. This did not deter the late Kat Restin. When Kat delved into Voudon magic, she had no idea it would end up killing her.This week's Scared Sh*tless horror movie of the week is: The Tunnel (2011), an Australian found-footage horror film that definitely slipped under the radar.

Welcome to Occult of Personality: esoteric podcast extraordinaire at occultofpersonality.net.

Occult of Personality podcast is made possible by you, the listeners, and by the subscribers to https://chamberofreflection.com, our membership site. Our guest tonight is Craig Williams, returning to the show to discuss his most recent book, Cult of Golgotha, available from Anathema Publishing Ltd."Cult of Golgotha presents a mysterious and strange glimpse into a creative occult current of revealed gnostic expression: the alchemical cross-pollination of Tantric Physics and Esoteric Voudon. Gnostic Bishop Craig Williams reveals a systematic vista of quantum exploration within the Womb of the Dark Goddess and Her web-like reach into the elemental world of gnostic Voudon. "This text reveals the insidious Archonic Systems of Control which endangers the psyche and spirit of contemporary consciousness severing the individual from the chaotic and daemonic world of the Soul… This text expresses glimpses of a unique vision for escaping the Archonic forces impinging upon the mind-body of contemporary mankind and the vital role that the Awakened Dead play in the liberation of human consciousness from Ahrimaic manipulation." Craig Williams has delivered another occult classic! Cult of Golgotha is one of the more unique expressions of high occult strangeness that I’ve ever read. Hearkening back to the works of Michael Bertiaux and Kenneth Grant, Williams takes his readers into the heart of magical development by demonstrating the creative vision required to journey to the liminal realms and bring forth transformative potential. From Tantra to Voudon to the heart of western esotericism, Cult of Golgotha stretches both the esoteric landscape and the mind of the reader by introducing systems of occult science designed to awaken and liberate the practitioner using a variety of methods. The text also emphasizes the mental shackles that bind us and prevent our freedom. These systems of control and the methods to escape them deserve much greater study and attention.

Michael Bertiaux, artist, and the author of the acclaimed Voudon Gnostic Workbook and the recent Ontological Graffiti, is our guest in podcast episode 172. This interview was created in collaboration with our friends at Black Lotus Kult.“Michael Bertiaux, author of the famed Voudon Gnostic Workbook and Hierophant of the Voudon Gnostic Current is a rare visionary in modern occult studies. Raised in a liberal theosophical household, he was drawn to the esoteric and spiritual approach to religion and Being from early on. After studying philosophy in New Orleans and having been ordained as a Deacon in the Anglican Church, Bertiaux was sent to Haiti in 1963 where he taught philosophy and was in charge of the local Anglican museum. It was on “the magic island” that Bertiaux met his spiritus rector, Dr. Jean-Maine, who initiated him into the secrets of the Voudon Gnosis. His close collaboration with Jean-Maine, first in Haiti and then later in Chicago lasted until the Voudon master’s death in the early 1980s… Bertiaux stands unique in the spiritual world. His system of occultism and gnosis is unlike any other. Instead of reworking the occult past and clinging to classical theories, he works mainly on gnostic-radionic lines and esoteric creativity.

Michael Bertiaux, artist, and the author of the acclaimed Voudon Gnostic Workbook and the recent Ontological Graffiti, is our guest in podcast episode 172. This interview was created in collaboration with our friends at Black Lotus Kult. “Michael Bertiaux, author of the famed Voudon Gnostic Workbook and Hierophant of the Voudon Gnostic Current is a rare visionary in modern occult studies. Raised in a liberal theosophical household, he was drawn to the esoteric and spiritual approach to religion and Being from early on. After studying philosophy in New Orleans and having been ordained as a Deacon in the Anglican Church, Bertiaux was sent to Haiti in 1963 where he taught philosophy and was in charge of the local Anglican museum. It was on “the magic island” that Bertiaux met his spiritus rector, Dr. Jean-Maine, who initiated him into the secrets of the Voudon Gnosis. His close collaboration with Jean-Maine, first in Haiti and then later in Chicago lasted until the Voudon master’s death in the early 1980s… Bertiaux stands unique in the spiritual world. His system of occultism and gnosis is unlike any other. Instead of reworking the occult past and clinging to classical theories, he works mainly on gnostic-radionic lines and esoteric creativity. Deeply rooted and based in the magical world and traditions of Esoteric Voudon … Bertiaux has managed to introduce a great number of other spiritual currents into his system… To unite areas so seemingly apart as German Idealism and theosophy, to Shinto and Bon-Po, Bertiaux has spun a metaphysical web connecting and bringing them into occult harmony through the threads … of Esoteric Voudon… To aid in this … metamorphosis Bertiaux also stresses the creative aspects of magic and gnosis.
