Khimaira

On this week’s episode we have musician, print maker, liminal beauty and Marian devotee, Ramona Martinez, creator of the Visions of Mary oracle deck. Have you ever had one of those experiences where you meet a new friend and can’t help but become immediately comfortable? This was the experience Ramona and I had as we sat down with some tea to discuss the various faces of the Mothers Mary and Hekate. This episode unfolds more like sisters hiding under bed covers at night sharing secrets than my standard interview style, but that seemed appropriate in the end considering our conversation. Join us as we discuss working and getting to know the Mother archetype, in all her paradoxical facets, from the perspective of two of the most well known spirits who claim that name. In what ways do Mary and Hekate differ? In what ways are they the same? How does the Mother present herself to us, in ways of both darkness and light? Both Ramona and I share a bit of our personal practice with these spirits, and talk a bit about channeling. There’s even an appearance from Ramona’s sphinx cat Cyclops. All this and more in today’s episode of SaturnVox

Jack Grayle’s Hail Hekate: Walking the Forked Path

On this week’s episode we have candle maker, sorceress of ecstatic mysteries, and devotee of Babalon, Sarah Jezebel Wood joining us. Sarah and I spend some time waxing poetics, if you will, on the depth of spell crafting and discipline that goes into her talismanic candle line Lovi Artes, the hardships of marketing an occult business through social media, and the connection between candle making, dancing, and the Goddess Babalon. Why is tension necessary for ecstasy? In what ways does candle making represent a Saturnian process? How can one be in charge of their desires, as opposed to one’s desires controlling you? Is there power in silence? Sarah brings an immense amount of joy and humor to complex issues of mysticism, navigating skill learning, and embracing one’s Will despite the hardship of the path forward. This episode is filled with nuggets of wisdom and deep insights, certainly not one to be missed!

On this week’s episode we have guest Sasha Ravich, professional Folk-Necromancer and Astrologer for Witches. Sasha joins us this week to discuss the importance of folklore and mythos as a foundational aspect of cognitive blending between birth chart and scrying mirror. How does one’s relationship with the dead affect the living? In what ways can we explore myth and fairy tale to inform our understanding of liminal relationships? Why should people cultivate caution when developing spirit sight? Why is it so important to extend one’s practice past the personal and into a more communal perspective? All this and more with one of my mentors and dear friends.

On this week’s episode we have guest Joshua Adam Sharp, better known as Algol from the New Orleans based Black Metal project Mehenet. Joshua is the founding master of Alombrados Oasis, OTO and currently serves on the Electoral College of O.TO. For the U.S.A. He is a crowned Olorisha and a Macumbeiro as well as being one of the 4 owners of Botanica Macumba, which happens to be the onsite location this interview took place. Joshua shares with us his own wisdoms on dual-faith practice and the challenges one faces as a magic practitioner in the era of modernity. We chat skepticism, some common misconceptions about Aleister Crowley, and discuss an ontological theory based in High Strangeness called, The Phenomena. How can we prove anything exists? Does it matter? In what ways does clinging to Westernized ideas of religion stop us from approaching more insight into cognition and the state of our reality? Do aliens exist? All this and more in today’s episode of SaturnVox.

On this week’s episode we have guest Cooper of the Witchhassle podcast here to discuss the link between poetry and necromancy. We get into a bunch of other cool topics like language use, the intersection between the liminal, madness, and melancholy, as well as a bit of left politics on how one might create mutual aid through poetry. Is poetry ruled by the Moon, Mercury, Saturn, or maybe all three? This episode was a complete delight and filled with much laughter on both sides. I hope you all find it as interesting as I did, and feel free to message me with any poems or stories of necromantic workings that included poetry so we can chat about it!

This week we have a special episode for our listeners. Instead of focusing on some sort of philosophical topic, I want to tell you the story of my friend. Emmett Dwyer, fka Brother Mark, hammer of God and former member of the Process Church of the Final Judgment. Join us as we discuss some of the practices and theology behind the Process Church, and learn the wisdom of living in the moment to honor our authentic self.  What is a gray force? How is Aikido similar to the tenets of the Process Church, and why is it so important for magic practitioners to stay grounded? All this and more in this week’s episode of Saturnvox! So tune in, relax, and listen to the story our elder weaves. It’s a good one, I promise.

To find out more about the Process, please check out the documentary made by Neil Edwards entitled; Sympathy for the Devil. This can be found and purchased directly from the website at www.theprocessmovie.com

Dalanah of the Moon Matters podcast joins us this week to help explore what it means to be a stoic, how stoicism fits into astrology, and why allowing ourselves to view fate with a sense of awe may actually be the key to setting ourselves free. We know that taking on the hat of determinism can seem scary, especially to magicians who want to reshape the world according to their Will. I think this is a very fine aspiration, but as you listen to this episode I want magicians most of all to keep this quote by Arthur Schopenhauer in the back of your head; “A man can do as he wills, but not Will as he wills”. 

To find more on Dalanah, check out her instagram @moonmatters.astro and her website www.moonmattersastrology.com, where you can listen to her absolutely outstanding podcast on Hellenistic Astrology as well as her book suggestions for people interested in learning more about stoicism.
