Batool Desouky joins us for an excellent conversation on the obvious but not so obvious relationship between technology and magic. Are these even the best words to be using? We explore the Saturnian-matrix of labor, language, and art as they relate to Batool's work, as well as distinctly Arabic forms of magic utilizing similar means.

"Night Hours of the Hidden Chamber: Horoscope Houses and the Egyptian Amduat (with IAAM/AstroMagia 2024) took us through the underworld (Duat) of the Ancient Egyptians to explore parallels with the bottom half of the horoscope (sunset to sunrise). 

Extending this research to the entirety of the horoscope, this lecture covers all 12 Houses/Places in Western Astrology and their proposed roots in the daily/nightly journey of Ra’s Solar Barque. In addition to this, we explore other possible origins and influences in Ancient Egypt for important astrological concepts such as Exaltation, Sect, and more!"

On this episode of the show we are joined by Janine Malina to talk plants and how they relate to magic, astrology, and everyday life. Has wheat become the official marker of the Poison Path? What are the sorceries of chicken nuggies? Jokes aside, this episode was a lot of fun to record, as well as being deeply practical for those who have their hands in the soil and their eyes to the stars. Janine shares first hand accounts of her creative and magical processes, as well as some no bullshit thoughts on poison and the like.

Focusing on astrological talismans through the auspices of Mars and Saturn, her work goes beyond jewelry and metalsmithing into devotional music, writing, and herbalism.

On this episode of the show we are joined by spirit worker and faery-seer Rose Aurora to discuss the ever mysterious 7 Stars and their connections with the liminal world of the Fae. We cover a broad swathe of stellar and faery lore, branching into megalithic sites as well as other stellar connections including Cygnus, Draco, and the larger celestial sphere. These stars, like the world of Faery, are ubiquitous in elusive ways.

On this episode of the show we are joined by astrologer and queer muslim mystic Suprasensory Shahir to talk the ever trippy fixed star Fomalhaut. Shahir, a fellow lover of Islamic esoterica, speaks of Gibril, the Prophet Yunus (Jonah and the Whale), as well as dream experiences they have had in relation to this star. We discuss this star's lesser known aspects as one of loners and trailblazers, who often must face great isolation before their purposes actualized.

On this episode of the show we are joined by astrologer and podcast host SP Hall of the 'Luminaries In and Out of Sect' podcast to discuss -you guessed it- podcasting! We converse on some of our favorite and not so favorite aspects of this medium near and dear to us. As astrologers we discuss the importance of the Moon in this art form as distinct from other planets, as well as other starry-observations we have both garnered along the way.

On this important episode of the show we are joined by Palestinian astrologer and psychotherapist Majd H Sayed. As we spoke, the ICJ trials (South Africa charging Israel with genocide) were just beginning; a fitting time to discuss the time cycles of the occupation of Palestine. Majd shares their personal history of growing up in the West Bank as well as their astrological observations of the occupation through the lenses of Neptune, Saturn, Luna, and Venus. We also discuss the charts of nation states and skepticism that we should have around them as astrologers.
