  • CT 30: Creative Magic: EXPLORING Writing, Creativity & Spirituality

    🌟 Welcome to Episode 30 of Casual Temple! This week our guest is Lucy H. Pearce who is a dynamic force in the creative realm as an author, artist, publisher, editor, and teacher. Her focus on women's healing and creativity has resonated globally, evident in her establishment of Women Craft Publishing in 2014, a platform dedicated to empowering female authors and artists.

    Spirituality and magic are intrinsic to Lucy's creative process, viewing them as distinct yet intertwined expressions of life's essence. She champions writing as a powerful means of communication, facilitating deep dives into various subjects and fostering connections with others.

    One of Lucy's collaborative ventures includes co-authoring The Kitchen Witch Companion, a captivating exploration of infusing magic into everyday life through culinary practices. Her latest book Crow Moon is a unique approach to describing the ineffable and is a really unique and deeply creative work.

    Launching the Creative Magic podcast, initiating the Word and Image e-course, and publishing upcoming books through Women Craft this year are just a few examples. Additionally, she's compiling an anthology titled Weaving Our Way Beyond Patriarchy, slated for release in November.

    With her extensive experience as an author, Lucy empathizes with the challenges faced by creatives, particularly during the developmental phase before financial success. She advocates for respecting authors' journeys and acknowledges the limitations often encountered within traditional publishing structures.

    Lucy H. Pearce embodies a fervent advocate for women's empowerment and a visionary explorer of the intersections between creativity, spirituality, and magic.

  • CT 29: The WINDING Magical Path of Musical Inspiration, Spiritual Integration & MOVEMENT with Aidan Wachter

    🌟 Welcome to Episode 29 of Casual Temple, where we delve into the enchanting, musical world of Aidan Wachter. With over four decades of experience in magic, Aidan's unique, non-dogmatic approach has been shaped by his time in nature, introspection, and deep breathing. He's the author of three insightful books on the subject: Six Ways, Weaving Fates, and Changeling.


    Aidan's journey doesn't stop at magic, he's also a music enthusiast with a rich history that runs parallel to his magical exploration. From jamming to 70s bands like Jethro Tull and Rush, to discovering punk rock with bands like Sex Pistols and The Damned, Aidan's musical journey is as diverse as it is profound. Aidan's musical taste spans from the early albums of The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees to experimental bands such as Throbbing Gristle.


    We'll discuss how music influences our lives, from travel rituals to moving into a new place. For Aidan, both music and magic serve as forms of communication. He views different magical practices as ways of creating distinct languages or sentences, making music a tool he can use just like magic.


    And of course, we'll delve into magic and its role in connecting us with very real worlds that are critical to our survival as a species.


    So, sit back, relax, and join us for a deep dive into the magical and musical world of Aidan Wachter. Let's get started!

  • CT 26: Conjuring the Calabash author Mawiyah Bomani's Journey into Hoodoo Empowerment and Spiritual Wisdom

    🌟 Welcome to Episode 26 as we explore the journey and insights of author Mawiyah Bomani, an 8th Generation Witch deeply immersed in spirituality and the author of Conjuring the Calabash: Empowering Women with Hoodoo Spells & Magick. Mawiyah's diverse background as a writer, playwright, spirit woman, educator, and Priestess of OYA in the Yoruba system of spirituality sets the stage for an enlightening conversation.

    As the host of "Fish Heads and Red Gravy," Mawiyah celebrates marginalized esoteric communities, while her latest literary creation, "Conjuring the Calabash," empowers women with Hoodoo spells and magic. Throughout our discussion, Mawiyah generously shares insights from her spiritual journey, recounting early encounters with spirits and occult practices.

    Raised in New Orleans, Mawiyah's education and religious upbringing intersected as she attended Catholic school while being initiated into Santeria by her grandfather, with Hoodoo deeply ingrained in her family's traditions. Drawing from her rich spiritual repertoire, Mawiyah recommends influential books on Hoodoo and spirituality.

    Join us on this journey of empathy and understanding with practitioners of different traditions on the Casual Temple.

  • CT 21: Journey to Balance: UNITING Astrology, Animism, and Mysticism in our MODERN World

    🌟 Welcome to Episode 21 of Casual Temple, exploring life, astrology, and mysticism with our lovely guest, Oli Andrei Olar.

     Embark on an insightful journey as our lovely guest, Oli Andrei Olar, delves into various aspects of life, spirituality, and mysticism. Oli shares insights into modern life struggles, advocating for finding beauty amidst challenges. Explore the concept of absorbing experiences, akin to a child's curiosity, and delve into the binding force of love during tough times.

    In the first part of our discussion, Oli explores the manifestation of archetypes in people and their initial skepticism towards astrology. Learn how nature experiences, contemplative mysticism, and animism became integral to Oli's path. Discover the significance of finding beauty in life and understanding love as the essence of existence. Oli shares their exploration of astrology, plant work, and the transformative journey into Kabbalah. Key books and the importance of balance are also discussed.

    Kabbalah takes center stage as Oli discusses it as an evolving dialogue, emphasizing balance, giving, and finding beauty within. Uncover the unique perspective on Mars energy, viewing conflict as a path to unity and the empowerment of saying no.

    Oli's journey includes experiences in the UK, where remote work led to visits to Neolithic sites and meditation in ancient places. Discover the significance of astrology in their path, shaped by gardening, camping, and a deep connection with nature.

    The fusion of astrology and animism becomes apparent as Oli shares their practice, seeing everything as alive and using astrology to navigate life's transitions. Personal growth takes the spotlight, urging listeners to own their journey, embrace challenges, and step into the unknown.

    In the second part, explore astrology's folklore interpretation and the fascinating concept of astrocartography. Oli reveals personal coping mechanisms, the love for maps as a Virgo, and the association of zodiac signs with countries.

    Learn from Oli's experiences working with clients, offering meaning and understanding through astrology. Gain insights into their daily use of astrology, aligning emotions with the wheel of the year.
