In this episode, Luxa is joined by a long-time friend to discuss how magick can be used to reflect upon and make changes to the self, or ego using Ego Magick (or Yellow Magick in Peter J. Carroll's system). There is also a discussion of eggs, how they relate to the ego and how to use them for magickal purposes. It's Eggcellent! (Sorry.)

3. Ego & Egg Magick with Elise

Society & Culture

Personal Journals

History

Philosophy

Places & Travel

Michael M Hughes https://www.michaelmhughes.com/ joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to share about experiences surrounding the ritual he created to bind the reality TV star the US elected as president in 2016 and which ended up being propelled to viral fame, becoming the largest magical working in history. There’s some great stuff about the history of the Tarot and Micheal’s courses in the subject, with some debunking of popular myths (spoiler alert, it’s not from Ancient Egypt, but that doesn’t make it any less cool or interesting). Also explored are the intersections of the Trickster, the and the Magician archetypes, and what this might have to do with the stage magician, the “sacred trap” and more. 
During a break Luxa shares about The Green Sphere https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQsi-sqCg1RgxZWbePZ7-boZ1k0Xknnpgbzof31_KNtfegkMgLXcqGK1pZQfNm4m35xmOXKhNPm_S3t/pub, a protection and healing ritual you can take part in on June 8th, 2024; as well as a few books from The Green Mushroom Hyphosigil Project’s 23:Bibliomancy scripture https://greenmushroomproject.com/category/23bibliomancy/, Mushroom updates, listener mail and more! Much Love.

Isa Nakazawa https://www.instagram.com/isanaka joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to share some approaches to astrology and tarot and discuss how such practice can be both a technology of freedom as well as something which gives one insight into meaningful patterns on a broader, social level. Isa is the host for the Stars and Stars with Isa podcast https://www.instagram.com/starsandstarswithisa where she sits with artists and thinkers to read them their birth chart and discuss their life’s purpose. She shares about her journey from being a skeptic to becoming an astrologer and tarot reader and provides some interesting historical examples about how looking to the skies has been a means of freedom for people in the past, whether it’s freedom of the body or freedom of the mind. She also provides great recommendations about how to contextualize one’s own nativity and horoscopes. Luxa shares about some magical work surrounding the recent solar eclipse and some audio captured during the event (many thanks to Kathy), as well as an update about the Green Mushroom Hyphosigil project and listener mail and shout outs including, as promised, a talking fish! Much Love.
