Sfinga and B. Key are joined by the incredible Albert Björn Shiell, witch, sorcerer, and student of English and Icelandic folk magical traditions. Albert goes over his experience studying oral and literary traditions of Icelandic magic, and muses on the nature of integrating into not only a new culture and language, but a foreign country's animist landscape. The gang discusses what it means to actually breathe an animist life through conscious relationality with the natural world, all while sharing a few laughs over common misconceptions of each of their traditions.

Sfinga and B. Key cover the 44 pentacles of the Key of Solomon, their construction, uses, and personal tips, tricks, and innovations they've gleaned from their experiments. The Dragon and Owl discuss at length the various ways in which the planetary pentacles can be used across the sorcerous board, as well as the magical implications of matching one's (nasty) freak.

Dear friend and discerning sorcerer Caspar, also known as De Duivelbanner van Overijssel, joins the hosts to chat all things Dutch folk magic. In addition to discussing the diversity of Dutch folk practitioners, what duivelbanners are, differences between Protestant and Catholic traditions, and types of spirits one may encounter, the gang explores the importance of situating the "folk" in "folk magic". Key also touches on a fascinating and remarkably well-preserved set of fishing and knot-tying magics inherited within his own Dutch family, prompting a heartfelt discussion on the ways living traditions are indeed lived throughout diasporas.

Salt opens the floor on the grounding elements of magical healing and sorcery in health. Exploring the logics of oral charms, Galenic medicine, and medical astrology, he leads the gang through a round table discussion of the key principles of protecting and nurturing long-term health in one's spiritual practice—through all holistic means, magical and mundane.

B. Key brings the fire to passionately advocate for the use of magic in anti-fascist resistance. After a brief overview of some of the most critical Supreme Court cases that have eroded civil liberties in the United States, Key provides a miscellany of sorcerous workings to resist the state, evade the law, and protect our communities—especially those most vulnerable to state-enforced oppression—as well as a list of resources, organizations, and bail funds to contribute to in solidarity.

Sorceress, Fairy Seer, Trollkvinne, and dear friend of the show Rose Aurora returns for a discussion about the various signs that manifest in clusters at birth, puberty, and beyond to delineate proclivities for certain kinds of magical pacts. We cover questions concerning lack of free will and choice, what does having "the gift" entail across our cultures, omens that are only recognized by those with the necessary training, nonhuman parentage, and why the most important "mark" above of all is the active choice to engage with magic itself and ambitiously pursue its abundant results.

Sfinga leads the gang through a survey of the counter-magical tactics employed by witch bottles. From Blagrave’s "Astrological Practice of Physick" all the way to Harry Middleton Hyatt's collections on hoodoo and conjure, the Dragon, Wolf, and Owl engage in some quick maths: early modern humoural theory + pins + heat + a witch's bladder = an absolutely fantastic time reversing malefica.

After six months of continuous labour, Sfinga and B. Key at last unveil as much as can be said publicly about their profound experience pilgrimaging to the Sanctuary and Rock of the Goddess of Love's birth. Pouring their hearts out in celebration of a theophany, numerous physical manifestations of spiritual presence, remarkable omens of nature, and half a year's worth of toiling over recipes, formulas, and enchantments, the best friends celebrate love in the name of love, beauty for the sake of beauty, and the rapture of Mystery in all its unfathomable forms in yearning for companionship, mutual understanding, and sorcerous adventure.

This week we welcome diviner, perfumer, and conjurer Austin Fuller of BanexBramble and the Southern Bramble podcast. Austin joins Sfinga and B. Key in a heartfelt and riotous discussion on perfume and spiritual colognes, from their creation under the auspices of alchemical patrons to their use in glamour, sorcery, and the activation of spirits. We also consider the ultimate offering of learning skills in service of the spirits, be they languages, crafts, or apprenticeships in entire lineages in pious dedication.

B. Key introduces the gang to his experiments with the aptly-named Book of the Images of the Twelve Hours of the Night. Beginning with an overview of the text itself and then diving deep into the properties of each associated talismanic image, the Owl goes over his personal experiences with the spirits and their manifestations, personal applications of the hours, and much encouragement to go forth and experiment with this fascinating work. Special thanks to Mihai Vârtejaru for his excellent rendition of the text.
