Hey Gang!

Welcome to Weird Web Radio!

This episode features Bat Collazo! Bat is one of my favorite humans in life, and I'm honored to call Bat my friend!

SUPER IMPORTANT - CONTENT WARNING - Discussion including the topics of child sexual abuse, and association with known predators happens around the one hour mark. There is also an audio content warning before it begins so you can be informed for your own safety. This is all part of the discussion concerning the Troth's removal of Diana Paxson. At no point in this conversation is Diana Paxson accused of any crimes. At the time of this episode release there is also no public response from Diana Paxson concerning Bat's allegations or The Troth's removal. 

Bat and I first dig into ghosts and hauntings! Then we have to chat about Loki and family! We get into magic, ritual, and all kinds of fun rabbit holes. The discussion does include a section concerning Bat's role and experiences concering xer enormous integrity and courage as the whistleblower in The Troth's removal of Diana Paxson in 2024. See the content warning above. 

BAT'S BIO:

Bat Collazo is a queer, multiracial Heathen, Pagan, and witch, with lifelong enthusiasm and close to 15 years of active practice. As an animist, the core of Bat's practice is relationality with others and Others as complex, real people with agency. Bat strives to resist authoritarianism, abuse, and oppression, and to help build freer, healthier ways of being. Bat's magical focus includes but is not limited to Germanic spirituality, traditional fairies, the dead, and the land, with formal, oathed commitments to the Norse god Loki, Robin Goodfellow, and the folkloric Jack. Bat is a published author and poet, the editor of Blood Unbound: A Loki Devotional, and a work-in-progress classical singer, which is, in part, a devotional act for Odin, giver of breath.

Welcome to Weird Web Radio!

This episode features the return of Luxa Strata! It's been a few years since Luxa was on the show so it is an incredible honor to have her back!

Luxa is the host of one of my personal favorite shows, The Lux Occult Podcast. As I say in this episode, each one of her episodes come together like a cool old school variety radio show. This one just happens to be all about the occult, magic, trance, music, bibliomancy breaks, and interviews! Please go check it out on all the platforms. 

Luxa is also at the forefront of experimenting with Chaos Magic, spirituality, and building community. The Green mushroom Project is growing and going strong. The new project within that community is called Void House. That's where Luxa and others are exploring Consent and how that can be a driving mandate and value in magical communities and magical work. There's more. So much more! The experiments are one of the great things about the Green Mushroom Project! 

This episode was a lot of fun! We covered a large area of ideas, inspiration, experiments, and what it even means when we say Self. 

Luxa's BIO:

Luxa Strata is an artist, magican, and host of the Lux Occult podcast: a show about the intersections between Magic, Art, Philosophy, and Science as viewed through the lens of a Chaos Magic. Luxa is the lead-organizer of The Green Mushroom Hyphosigil Project: a large-scale, ongoing group magickal working and working group focused on building connections, fostering creativity, and empowering individuals to become more agentic through the use of magick and esoteric technology; as well as Void House: creating a consent-forward magical space, investigating the healing and alchemical properties of consent and offering free or low-cost consent education to the magically inclined.

Luxa has released three musical albums of ritually produced aural erotica and sigilized design, recently beginning work on a new, adjacent project. Luxa’s personal magical practices focus on philosophical and psychological inquiry, self exploration, and remediation as well as on enriching everyday life with praxis involving food, trance, eroticism, sound, dance, visual art, and fostering curiosity.

Luxa is a Hekatean preistix and has led public rituals, classes, and workshops about a variety of magical topics and techniques and is now in the process of working on a collection of devotional poetry for Hekate.Find Lux Occult Podcast and Luxa’s other work at https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata
