Today on the show we have the delightful Rose Auroras and B. Key. Both are accomplished seers and scryers with a strong foundation in folkloric and spirit-led techniques, but also a fascination with the modern incarnation of some of these skills — most often under the umbrella term "psi." We dive into the groovy world of the US Government's Psychic Spy Programs in the 70's and 80's, Remote Viewing, the Gateway Tapes, CE5, and where these topics intersect with more folkloric seership practices. We also talk UFOs, some personal experiences, and inspired by Rose and Key's shenanigan's of scrying "Unsolved Mysteries" topics in their spare time, we all have a go at scrying the mysterious Mount Shasta.

Sfinga joins us from The Frightful Howls You May Hear podcast, and With Cunning and Command. Sfinga is a traditional witch and diviner from the Balkans, as well as an initiate of Brazilian Quimbanda. We talk about Sfinga's incredible podcast, and the unique philosophies that inform its expert approach to a diverse array of spiritual and occult topics, all while maintaining a disarming, casual ,and communal tone. Sfinga also dives deep into the witchlore of the Balkans including the region's unique expression of dragons and The Vila. We also talk about the complex and powerful experience of incorporating spiritual currents from vastly different cultures into a single life. Sfinga is a fascinating thinker and a gracious communicator, and such a pleasure to chat with.

Today I have the true honor of welcoming to the show: Lee Morgan. Lee is a writer, teacher, traditional witch, and a story sorcerer. Lee has written what to my estimation are some of the essential texts on Traditional Witchcraft and the Faery Faith, and his newest book is a fascinating addition to that bibliography. People of the Outside is a fearless examination of all the cultural taboos that haunt the archetype of "the witch," and how many of these traits may be transmissions or memories from our Elder Folk ancestors, before they were subsumed by Sapiens. In the spirit of People of the Outside we don't shy away from any thorny topics here, and dive headfirst into the role cannibalism plays in witchcraft, the similarities between Faery culture and Elder Folk culture, the "witch blood" controversy, and yes . . . even Bigfoot. It was a blast getting to interview a personal hero of mine on the show, and I hope it inspires everyone in the audience to pick up Lee's new book.

Today on the show we're joined by witch, writer, teacher: Aidan Wachter. Aidan is an excellent communicator on the subject of magic, and has the rare ability not to get bogged down with dogma while exploring what can often be incredibly complex topics with thoughtful and simple clarity. Today we discuss the fundamental and inherent nature of magic, its role in our lives, and how it interacts with the world around us. We consider the critique some occultists have been expressing lately that the current magical revival we're living through has possibly led to "too much magic," and resulted in a Capitalist influenced pursuit of "stuff" through magic. We talk about the controversial text "Aradia: The Gospel of Witches," and whether or not its historical authenticity has the final word on the role it has played in the craft. Of course we also go into where the current of witchcraft and the Fae realm meet, and why folklore is prone to making both into villains. It was a real pleasure getting to chat with Aidan, and I hope this is the first of many great discussions.

C.R. Sanders joins us to talk about his new Discovery Channel series — hosted by the legendary Mitch Horowitz — Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction. When I heard that the newest Discovery channel UFO show was being produced by someone with such an accomplished occult background, I knew it was going to be something unique, and it does not disappoint. We explore the complex nature of the wider UFO / UAP subject, and its relationship with the Faerie realms and Otherworlds of mythology and folklore. We dip our toes into the wild "disclosure" news of the past few years, and wonder if there's any significance to the replacement of the word "object" with "phenomenon," in the recent reclassification of UFO with UAP by the powers that be. C.R. also shares some of his surreal and synchronistic adventures on site and in pursuit of experiencing the phenomenon.

Today on the show I'm so excited to bring you my conversation with Amaya Rourke. Amaya is a practicing Animist and Folk Witch offering consultations around coming into relation with the fixed stars, as well as shepherding magical folks down the crooked path of cultivating their own personal practices. In the show we explore Amaya's own crooked journey to her primary Spirit Patron: the Irish God and Faery King Manannon Mac Lir, as well as what she's learned over the years helping individuals cultivate sovereignty in their personal practices and develop discernment in their spiritual relationships. I also can't resist getting Amaya's take on the nature of deity, and we hear about Amaya's upcoming retirement (or sabbatical) from the public facing side of her spiritual and consulting practice. I've been a big fan of Amaya's work for years now, and was truly honored to get the chance to have this conversation. There was some fun transcontinental audio shenanigans afoot, but I don't thnk it distracts too much from all the great wisdom Amaya imparts here.

On today's show we have Robert Peter of Sacred Heart Occult. Robert is a practitioner with a foundation in Chaos Magic, that has evolved into an eclectic and animistic adoption of deity work and Saint magic. In the show, we explore how different magical currents can exist side-by-side and be engaged in all at once, the nature of diety and the role sychretization might play in their evolution, and for good measure we concur up friend of the show: Dionysus. Robert was really gracious in humoring some of my more wonky lines of questioning on somewhat unknowable subjects, and brought a generous amount of knowledge and personal experience to the converation.

Daniel Yates is a theologian, artist, and folklorist with an uncanny eye behind the camera. Today we pull no punches focusing on the stated goal of this show and explore Daniel's radical ideas about "Elphame." We talk about Daniel's upcoming book, Mysteria, which is a grimoiric treatise on what he calls "Elphamic Witchcraft," and as he says: "a work that will challenge many people's assumptions regarding what Elphame is and how we interact with it." Furthermore we delve into the double edged sword of understanding the past through its folklore, the theological underpinnings of Sabbatic Witchcraft, and hot takes about the hidden nature of Elphame and those who dwell there. This was a really interesting and exploratory conversation, the kind of which I hope to have many more of here. I hope you enjoy it.
