Acid Horizon

Philosophy and Magic: Meredith Graves on the Politics of the Occult and Thinking Magically in a Disenchanted World


Listen Later

In this Halloween episode, Meredith Graves joins Acid Horizon to explore the occulted correspondences between philosophy, ritual, and the practice of magic. Together we trace the tangled histories of witchcraft, labor, and belief—from Aleister Crowley and Sylvia Federici to Gilles Deleuze, GWF Hegel, and the haunted legacies of modern materialism. A conversation on mysticism, matter, and the insurgent imagination, recorded in the spirit of the season.
