Today we are joined by J.M. Hamade on the subject of Al- Khidr.
J.M. Hamade is an interdisciplinary artist, astrologer, writer, and educator residing in New York City. Focusing on the aesthetics of esoterica and the occult, they’re work bridges contemporary artistic practice with archaic forms of knowing. They have lectured, exhibited, and enacted live performances in the conjuration of phantom forms and ritual magic.
Al-Khidr is a figure described but not mentioned by name in the Quran as a righteous servant of God possessing great wisdom or mystic knowledge. In various Islamic and non-Islamic traditions, Khidr is described as a messenger, who guards the sea, teaches secret knowledge and aids those in distress. The meaning of the name has traditionally been taken to be "the Green One" or "the Verdant One". Which connects him to folkloric figures such as the green man and spirits of spring and of ‘greening’. We discuss Khidr’s liminal nature and his role as guide and get into the mysteries of the northern poles.
In the Plus show we discuss Khidr’s association with being two horned and Mose’s being depicted with two horns. We get into the ideas around the non-human language of nature and what Khidr as a spirit of creativity means to our guest. To close we get into the similarities between Khidr and Krishna.
Enjoy!
