(And/or wherever you listen to podcasts)

Our conversation delved deep into various fascinating topics surrounding magic, mentoring, psychoanalysis, and creative expression. We discussed the inception of my magic mentoring program, ”Source Magic Mentorship,” and the positive impact it has had on both me and the mentees involved. We emphasized the importance of mentorship in magical traditions and how it can be a transformative experience for both parties.
Furthermore, we delved into the similarities between psychoanalysis and ritual magic, emphasizing the cathartic and transformative nature of both practices. We highlighted the significance of integrating creative techniques into magical practices, such as the cut-up technique and creating talismans, as tools for self-exploration and externalization of internal struggles. We touched upon the role of culture, art, and personal experience in shaping one’s magical practice and worldview.
Additionally, our conversation expanded to discuss the publication of the occultural journal THE FENRIS WOLF, its evolution over the years, and the inclusive and eclectic nature of its content. We talked about the challenges and rewards of editing a journal that focuses on magic, esotericism, and occultural studies.
We also touched upon the availability of on-demand classes and our collaborations with organizations like Morbid Anatomy for offering classes on various topics related to magic, cinema, and psychoanalysis. We highlighted the importance of providing accessible and engaging educational content for individuals interested in exploring the intersections of magic, occulture, and academia.
Overall, our conversation provided a rich and insightful exploration of diverse topics in the realm of magic, mentoring, creativity, and academic freedom, emphasizing the value of open-mindedness, personal experience, and interdisciplinary approaches in understanding and practicing magical traditions.

Lots of great food for thought… Dig in!
