Hidden Worlds

Hello, and welcome to the Hidden Worlds Podcast, where we talk about the experiences of art and magic and the search for meaning. In this episode, I interview Margaret Braet, bench jeweler, wax carver, lapidary artist, and all around mad genius. I worked with Margaret at the day job for a couple years before she moved on to greater adventures in pursuit of her art. I learned a lot from her then and in this interview, and I am so excited to share our conversation. Unfortunately, her latest job has a noncompete contract that required her to shut down her store and portfolio, but I’ve included one of her magnificent dragon pieces as the image for the shownotes. If circumstances change, rest assured I will come back and edit these notes to include the appropriate links.

Hello, and welcome to the Hidden Worlds Podcast, where we talk about the experiences of art and magic and the search for meaning. In this episode, I interview John Lenz. John is an artist and a magician operating out of the KC Metro Area, where he is a manager at Aquarius Books. With an AA in Interior Design and a BFA in Sculpture, he works in numerous media – is always looking for new ones, in fact. He has studied a variety of traditions including eclectic Wicca and Chaos Magick since 1980, and is always looking for ways to incorporate symbolism, magick and mythology into his art. His work can be found on Facebook as Bear Shamanic Arts.
