Mystic Theory

What is amor fati? (charmed life)

🧞‍♀️ What If Fate Isn’t the Enemy, But the Portal?

In this slow, reflective, and strangely liberating episode of Mystic Theory, we spiral into the Stoic idea of Amor Fati—loving one’s fate—as a mystical act, a mindset shift, and a surprisingly modern tool for spiritual survival. Originally aired on Patreon, this episode is now unlocked for the public.

Inside this episode:
→ How Stoicism intersects with spellwork, chaos magick, and mystic theory
→ Reflections on nostalgia, surrender, and resisting the impulse to “fix” ourselves
→ Zeno, Lady Bird Johnson, Queer Eye, and the radical act of saying “yes” to life
→ The energetic difference between fighting fate vs. romancing it

Whether you’re resisting your current chapter or trying to reclaim it, this one’s a gentle nudge toward making peace with your weird, beautiful now.
