What does it take to transition from a Catholic upbringing to becoming a chaos occultist? Join us on this enthralling episode of Your Average Witch as we sit down with Andrew Cox, the visionary owner of Nexus Occult Books and Oddities in Tucson, Arizona. Andrew opens up about his unique spiritual journey, from his early fascination with the supernatural—sparked by childhood favorites like Ghostbusters and The Exorcist—to his eclectic practice that fuses ceremonial magic and various forms of witchcraft. This conversation provides an intimate look at how Andrew's personal history and cultural influences have shaped his path in the occult, offering valuable insights for both seasoned practitioners and curious newcomers alike.

Ever wondered about the secrets behind handcrafted scrying mirrors infused with materials from historically significant sites? Andrew reveals the transformative power of such tools, sharing stories of mirrors made with ashes from Alistair Crowley's Boleskine House and sand from the Pyramid of Khufu. We delve into how these unique ingredients have deepened his ritual practices, underscoring the importance of creating personal rituals and building genuine relationships with deities. Through Andrew's experiences, we explore the necessity of failure and patience in mastering the occult, evolving from casual interest to disciplined devotion.

But the journey doesn't stop there. We also discuss Andrew's bold decision to leave a stable career in sales to open Nexus, a community-focused occult store. This chapter celebrates the courage to follow one’s true calling despite uncertainties. Plus, meet Marcella Krol l, a tarot and oracle expert who has recently joined the Tucson community, bringing her wealth of knowledge and authenticity to Nexus. As we highlight upcoming events and influential figures in the world of magic, this episode is a treasure trove of inspiration, advice, and the importance of community in the magical journey.
