Radio Amenti

Fresh out of the Lion's Gate Portal! This new episode of Radio Amenti features my friend, Mike Costaney, musician, producer, and creator of the new Best Tarot deck. In this conversation we discuss the art of tarot (literally), celebrating failure and embracing imperfection, creativity, music, dreams, "the third thing", and much more! A little about Mike: Mike produces art and music and resides in the weird town of Toms River, NJ. He is an enthusiast of Magick, Qabalah, and Psychotherapy; he works to find realistic connections with these concepts in art and collaborative projects like in his latest endeavor, "Best Tarot". Here's a bit about best tarot: Best Tarot is the product of over 40 professional artists, amateur doodlers, and people who haven't attempted to draw since grade school art class. These folks were given 60 seconds to look at a classic Tarot card, an unwieldy black marker, and a sheet of paper. Then, they had to draw the card they had been looking at using only their memory as a reference, some artists executing most of the 60 second reference onto paper and some failing beautifully.

In this new episode of Radio Amenti, I am joined by the magical, and luminous, Giya (like Gaia) Venus. We discuss The Akashic Records, Remote Viewing, spiritual awakening, divination, destiny and more. Giya and I connected on Instagram about a year ago, after I saw a post she made using the Amenti Oracle deck. Our friendship has naturally evolved, and our connection is incredibly special. Gentle, wise, brilliant, bold, DIALED IN, graceful and gorgeous, Giya has a way of articulating the liminal space that is really unique. I love her energy, and the beauty she shares through her platform. I am thrilled to introduce you to her work in this interview, and foresee her star rising in the coming months (you heard it here first)! I've titled this episode "The Miss Honey of Hogwarts", because (as you'll find out in this conversation), that's exactly the energy Giya transmits. Sweet like Miss Honey from Matilda, but POWERFUL like a teacher right out of the Hogwarts x Harry Potter Universe! About Giya: When she decided to start sharing her specific brand of healing, Giya Venus quickly found that she was overwhelmed at the sheer amount of titles people were being given to describe their brand. Was she a healer, a shaman, a coach, a witch? Or was she somehow all of those things? Was she magic or just a human trying to make sense of it all? Giya Venus is a shaman well versed in channeling, many forms of divination, energy healing as a light goddess, reiki practitioner and Akashic Records Reader. Her goal is to share tools that everyone can use at any stage of their journey to awaken to their fullest potential, elevate the collective consciousness, and integrate their own brand of magic into the dream of this world.

In this new episode of Radio Amenti, I had the pleasure of chatting with my friend Lauren McAlpin. In esoteric practice, there's a concept called "recapitulation", which is a "remembering" or a familiarity about a person/place/object, and when I connected with Lauren - I absolutely felt that feeling. We met through synchronicity on social media, and Lauren is truly a beacon of honesty, intelligence, and magic, and I feel so grateful they have come into my life. About Lauren: Lauren McAlpin (they/them) is a writer, intuitive tarot reader, and reiki practitioner, currently working on a Masters in Psychology at Harvard Extension School. They hold a B.A. in English from Spelman College and M.A. in Luxury Brand Management from Savannah College of Art & Design. After battling kidney infections that developed into sepsis in the summer of 2018, Lauren made a decision to make a career shift from working in marketing in beauty/fashion for the last 9 years to follow their calling: spiritual and criminal justice. This summer, Lauren launched instagram.com/fogandreign to educate people about spiritual practices and tools and empower people to be their own healers. In this conversation, Lauren and I discuss their journey into wellness, healing, sacred self-care, stacking your spiritual toolkit, the sacred masculine/divine feminine, the dark-side of the mystical industry and much more.

In this episode of Radio Amenti, Yoshino and I share a conversation on the origins of our friendship, synchronicity, the Tao, Flow Consciousness, Ayahuasca, Bufo + Kambo (what's the difference?), MK Ultra celebrity glitches (Shaq and Al Roker WTF), life, love, relationships, laughter and genuine connection. We originally recorded this back in October 2019 at his studio in Los Angeles, Noh Wave, back when I first launched Radio Amenti, but the release of this conversation comes at a perfect (and somewhat divine) time. It begins with laughter, it ends with laughter, such is the case with many conversations I have had with this wonderful human being! About Yoshino: Yoshino is a visual artist and podcast host based in Los Angeles, California. Having worked for years as a professional fashion photographer, his interests eventually shifted towards experimental fine art photography and mixed media collaborations. In 2015, he created the Artist Decoded Podcast in an effort to dive deeper into the world of contemporary art. The podcast seeks to demystify the artistic process by providing an unabridged documentation of conversations with professional artists, and creatives. Yoshino started, Artist Decoded, as a way to connect with fellow artistic peers, and to share their stories with people around the world. Artist Decoded is ranked among the top 100 visual arts podcasts of all-time. In 2017, Yoshino co-founded NOH/WAVE, a multi-media art collective, and production company based in Los Angeles. Since its inception in 2017, NOH/WAVE is continually breaking barriers within the contemporary art world and is one of the only artist operated galleries in Los Angeles. Among his creative entrepreneurial endeavors, Yoshino is also a skilled MMA fighter who trains heavily in a range of martial arts and wields tremendous discipline to his craft.

I am so thrilled to finally release this episode with Gary Lachman! We originally recorded this interview back in September (2019), but the discussion is evergreen, perhaps even more so considering the current climate of the world, and COVID-times. In this conversation, we discuss a multitude of subject matter including his work Dark Star Rising: Magick and Power in the Age of Trump, meme magick, the curious evolution of Pepe the Frog, Theosophy, Anthroposophy, New Thought, the power of imagination, and much more!

Ouspensky, and Colin Wilson, histories of Hermeticism and the Western Inner Tradition, studies in existentialism and the philosophy of consciousness, and about the influence of esotericism on politics and society. He writes for several journals in the UK, US, and Europe, including Fortean Times, Quest, Strange Attractor, Fenris Wolf, and his work has appeared in the Times Literary Supplement, Times Educational Supplement, Guardian, Independent on Sunday, Sunday Times, Mojo, Gnosis and other publications.

A few days ago in an Instagram poll, I asked my audience if they preferred I do a solo-cast episode on "Love/Sex" or "Laughter" - and the vast majority voted for "Love/Sex", so here goes! In this solo-cast episode, I talk about love, sex, romance, love as a space of consciousness, all sorts of things. I get pretty vulnerable, and it was oddly cathartic, while also somewhat nervewracking. In any event, it feels like this was a potent transmission to share with everyone - whether you're single, in love, married, or in an undefined territory, I hope this makes you feel less alone in any struggles you may be having when it comes to matters of the heart. I hope you enjoy what was shared. I LOVE YOU! Featured clips...

In this episode of Radio Amenti, my friend Tricia Eastman and I dig into a "garden of forking paths." The path of initiation, the path of presence, the medicine path...the PATH in general.

Tricia shares her origin story and what lead her to work in the healing space, as well as some of the big lessons she has learned working with MDMA, Iboga, Bwiti, Kogi, ayahuasca, and Bufo Alvarius (sacred toad medicine).

A little about Tricia:

"Tricia Eastman is a pioneer in the psychedelic movement. As a medicine woman, she offers highly curated retreats in countries where use is legal working with 5-MeO-DMT, psilocybin mushrooms, and Iboga. She has been initiated into Bwiti traditions of Fang and Ngonde Missoko tradition, as well as facilitated the psychospiritual iboga program for Crossroads Treatment Center in Mexico. Since 2015, Eastman has supported 1200+ people through powerful medicine experiences including celebrities, political leaders, and Navy Seal veterans. She supports movements related to preservation of the sacred medicines for future generations, and working with the ancient wisdom traditions with respect and reverence."

Her research has been featured in publications including the New York Times and the BBC.

Sophia and I met 7-years-ago when we attended a retreat together in Costa Rica at a space called Guaria de Osa, and I tried plant medicine for the first time. In the unfolding space since that journey, it's been such an inspiration to witness Sophia's career blossom and bloom, as her voice offers a wise (and extremely necessary) grounding as the psychedelic renaissance continues to unfold.

In this conversation, Sophia and I discuss her origin stories, what lead her on a journey to study and work with sacred plant medicines in the Amazon Basin, what you can expect in her book, When Plants Dream, and much more.

We originally recorded this episode on April 4th, and since then we have been having more bi-weekly conversations in our Facebook Live conversation series, Isolation Tank, which happens on Tuesday's at 7pm EST and Friday's at 9pm EST.
