In part 1 of our two-part forecasting series, Andrew B. Watt and I use astrology and Tarot to try to predict what 2020 will be like. We go through every month and produce both cards and an astrological chart. This first part covers January through June of 2020.

You can hire Andrew for astrological consulting, and of course you can schedule a Tarot reading online with me!

There's a weird background noise at the beginning of the podcast -- it took me a minute to figure out what it is, but it's me shuffling the cards. Enjoy!

Alexx Bollen of The Alexxcast and John and Alexx Hate Stuff joins me to test out my new recording equipment. I recently created a sort of recording studio with some new equipment that promises to change the way I'm doing podcasting. This new setup centers around the RØDECaster Pro, and that means I had to learn some new tricks. This is kind of a practice episode, and y'all are learning with me!

Alexx brought over some Dune trading cards from the 1980s, and we use those as a jumping off point to discuss esoteric and occult themes in Frank Herbert's Dune books. Our conversation gets pretty deep in spite of neither of us having read the Dune books in a number of years. We discuss many topics, from clairvoyance to genetic memory to prophecy. Also I probably threw in some sound effects because the RØDECaster Pro can do that and apparently that's a thing now. Sorry!

We also dive into the connections between Tarot and Kabbalah.

Andrew B. Watt joins me on this podcast episode to discuss various visions of the future and how we as magicians, occultists, and wizards can prepare for the future -- any future! In particular, we discuss the competing ideas of John Michael Greer and Gordon White, futures both pessimistic and optimistic. We also take a look at the 200 and 800 year Jupiter-Saturn cycles proposed by noted astrologer Austin Coppock. How valid are any of these future predictions and what can we do to get ready?

Andrew B. Watt is a blogger in the northeastern United States. He and I first talked about sewing and magic on episode 48 of My Alchemical Bromance, and he convinced me that I should make my magical robe during that conversation.

This conversation was a blast. Andrew is a great thinker and we really dive into some current topics in a way I'm not sure this podcast has ever explored before. Let us know what you think in the comments -- and in the meantime, here are some links!

Recommended reading before diving into this episode is book 4, chapter 5 of the Picatrix -- yes, ultimate nerds that we are, our entire discussion about your future does end up rooted in an ancient book on pagan Arabian astrological wizard junk. Enjoy!

In this spooktacular podcast episode, Montana Jordan joins me for a live Ouija board session. I really don't want to give anything away about our session -- let's just say that we make contact, and it's an interesting contact. Even more interesting is that we set up the Ouija board in my ritual space, and Montana has some stuff to say about that, too! Montana also shares some very special news about an upcoming project.

Listen to our special Samhain-Halloween Spooktacular, my friends, and enjoy!! By the way, the intro is remixed with some piano by me.

I first met Ingrid Kincaid in 2017 when she visited my Masonic lodge to give a lecture on Yule and ancient Northern European traditions. Her name kept coming up in conversation after that as many of my friends and associates told me I should talk to her about runes. I finally reached out to her and we met in her home to record this podcast episode in the shadow of her giant mounted caribou head.

Ingrid Kincaid has been studying the runes for 40 years. She has published two books on the subject. Her expertise is held in such high regard that she is known as the Rune Woman. In this episode, Ingrid and I discuss her unique approach to the runes and to ancestral knowledge. We talk about how she discovered the runes, what wisdom they have brought her, and how her ongoing work with them has changed and influenced the world around her.
