SaturnVox – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week, we welcome interdisciplinary artist, diviner, writer and educator J.M. Hamade of starnightdwell onto the pod to chat about their forthcoming publication with Revelore Press on the Lunar Stations! Jay takes us on a journey through the tapestry of night, shining a scholarly light, fused with a sense of artistic and praxis embodiment, onto a mystical lineage that envelops the imagination and produces the Divine Speech of the Birds. 

How does one envision their own art of cave-dwelling, of womb diving, of going into that dark space and emerging with images? What does it mean to view the stars through a lunar aperture, with the moon as music, the moon as letter, the moon as mouth? How does one practice becoming the image by becoming sound, which is a full-bodied experience, when the Lunar Stations are acknowledged, witnessed, and put into play? All this and more, on today’s episode of SaturnVox.

This week, we welcome traditional witch, cunning woman, and fairy doctor, Briar of the Greene Chapel, onto the pod to talk about their practice within the context of French fairy seership, holding right relations with the good neighbors, and their work as a fairy doctor. We also explore their recently published research on the potential connections between the fairy faith and the story of Joan of Arc. What does hospitality mean to the fae? What are the burdens and responsibilities of those who have been marked? How might we, as humans, best navigate the mercurial logic of the fae and their liminality? What is the importance of accepting we already live in an enchanted world? And, what does all of this have to do with Joan? All this and more, on today’s episode of SaturnVox

This week, we are welcoming a person very dear to my heart, Jacquelyn Marie Shannon, ritualist, integrative hypnotist, ritual artist, Ph.D. candidate, and dancer, to chat about their research on a topic they have come to call Ghostly Practice. It's hard for me to concisely state in linear language what this episode is about. It's about poetry, it's about performance, it's about the haunting excess accrued by the churning movements and sacrifice of time. It's about dance as the tension and pulling between not the two sides of the coin, but, the very spin of the coin itself. 

In what ways are we haunted by both memory and possibility? How is performance directly informed by the praxis of ritual? How can we commit fully to the act of becoming within a ritual body that is constantly living and dying? Is your bookshelf implicitly haunted? It is my deepest pleasure and joy to plant the seed of Jacquelyn's work in the minds of all who choose to listen. May it spark creative impulses in your soul, to dance and move in co-creation with all Others, both seen and unseen.

Don't forget to check out the Patreon Exclusive Episode which features Jacquelyn speaking on their experiences as an academic who is out of the broom closet, so to speak. As well as, additional poetics on the relationship between art and politics, and , the negation + subsequent recreation of self as praxis for allowing ourselves to truly live with both feet on each side of the river of Becoming.

To find more on Jacquelyn, make sure to check her out on Instagram @ghostinglass. You can also check out their website for further information on their classes and research, as well as, book a hypnosis session here.

This week, we are welcoming guest Phil English, Galdramaður, Diviner, and Thelemite to come onto the podcast and chat about the poetic and primordial power of working and expressing the Runes. We chat poetry, singing, enchanting, and the importance of cultivating right relations with the mythopoetic narratives inside us. Certainly a treat for anyone interested in the history of ancient traditions, and more so in, the way we weave stories and songs of the dead and living in syncopations of unity and frenzied sound, a co-creation with all around us. What are the Runes? Who is Odin? Why is it so hard to reconstruct a firm proof of praxis for a people whose histories and myth interpretations have been destroyed and forgotten? Why might it be better to engage in these myths as living narratives, instead of historiographical proof of such-and-such a thing? How can we stay tethered when traversing liminal spaces? What are some of the mysteries of enchantment and disenchantment? And most importantly, why is it so necessary to ground ourselves in the reality of histories of oppression as tactics to keep ourselves ethical and humble in our magic practice? All this and more, on today’s episode of SaturnVox.

Don't forget to check out the Patreon Exclusive Episode which features Phil telling his own mythopoetic understandings of a few runes, as well as, a bit more commentary on weaving narratives of poetry and power in our magic practice.

To find more on Phillip, make sure to check him out on Instagram @vitkiarts. You can also book a reading and peep their other services over at their website, and remember to also keep an eye on both our stories and insta feeds for Phil’s future class announcements.

This week, we are welcoming guest Maighdlin Kelly, astrologer, astronomer, and weird scientist, to chat about a topic that tickles fantasy and stirs the curious and brave heart, that of the paranormal and the entity known as the Phenomena. Maighdlin has taken their skills as an astrologer and focused them on studying paranormal events. They also extend their roots in the weird science community by teaching fellow paranormal hunters how to view the sky through an astronomer’s lens via their project @stargazingsidequest. On today's episode, they will graciously take the time to explain to me that there are some things we just may never know, with great patience despite my churning desire to uncover all mysteries, I might add. What can we learn about the Phenomena from looking at the event charts of weird encounters? How can we stay grounded when tracing the roots of weird experiences? What is so exciting about the current crossover between the paranormal and occult communities? All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox.

Bear in mind when listening to today's episode that I actually had a weird encounter in the process of recording it. I did nothing different with my recording process and yet ended up with the most garbled sound file I'd ever experienced so far in my podcasting journey. Upon talking to Maighdlin about this, I discovered that it's apparently a very common occurrence when people are discussing the phenomenon on air. So much so that they have been named, the Technical Goblins! So, my apologies for the machine elf interference. 

Don't forget to check out the Patreon Exclusive Episode which features Maighdlin recounting some of their own weird encounters, how to surrender to the mystery, and lucid dreaming.

To find more on Maighdlin, make sure to check them out on Instagram @stargazingsideques and @mmkelly.space. You can also check out their class Stargazing for Paranormal Investigators, and book an astrology reading with them on their website. Also, head over to their Patreon if you are interested in supporting their explorations further.

This week, we are welcoming special guest Leeci, student of Gnosticism and devotee of St. Mary Magdalene, to talk about one of my favorite things in the whole world, Anime! Those of you who grew up with a little bit of weeb in you probably know that Anime has a history of bringing up occult and esoteric issues within the narrative. In fact, both Leeci and I probably wouldn't have picked paths that emphasized magic or mysticism without the introduction via anime as kids. So with this in mind, we decided to explore three different series and talk about how they are, or are not, related to the mysteries they are attempting to discuss. What makes the self? Why is it important to find the you inside the heart of others? How can we transcend our suffering? What does it mean to be interdependent with the Beloved? How does one find their own personal Gnosis? We discuss Ergo Proxy, NGE, and, if you hop on over to the extended episode found on Patreon, we talk Madoka Magica too! All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox.

This week, we are welcoming a truly special guest, one of my best friends, Kandace Layne. Kandace is a tattoo artist and tarot reader from my hometown of Atlanta Georgia, and she recently just reached her 10 year anniversary as a professional in her field! To celebrate, I invited Kandace onto the cast to discuss the magical history of tattooing and the process of spirit guided image magic she brings into her art. What can the history of tattooing teach us about image magic as medicine? How can we brainstorm ourselves into a good business practice while maintaining spiritual integrity in the wake of late stage capitalism? What lessons can we learn from our animal brother and sisters? What can we learn about the complexities of colonialism by studying the spiritual significance of ritual scarification in places like Benin? We also chat some about a ritual idea Kandace will be working on bringing into her tattoo practice over the next couple years! It's the holidays, so unlike most of my other episodes, I let this one unfold as a caress among sisters instead of my usual analytical style of interviewing. So cuddle up by the fire with some hot cider and tune into this beautiful artist and animist spin her stories of compassion for the spirits of the Earth. All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox.

To find out more on Kandace, check out her website here, where you can check out her designs and book a tattoo session. Don’t forget to find your way to her store where you can get prints and other items like seraphim tote bags! You can also find her on instagram via the link here.

This week, we are welcoming guest Nika Danilova, the musician, artist, and magic practitioner otherwise known as Zola Jesus, onto the podcast. Throughout the course of this interview, Nika and I explore the cathartic process of ritual expression which extends itself synonymously through art, music, and magic. Due to our shared political standing and love of Adorno, we also find space to weave in conversations on the importance of such an expression to combat the ill effects of a Capitalist culture which seeks only to consume. How might one use art as an antidote to a commodified world? What does it mean to be a Missionary for Nature? How does community storytelling re-enliven our engagement with the various ecologies of the world? What is there to gain through relinquishing control? All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox.

To find out more on Nika, check out her bandcamp here, where you can listen to her albums as Zola Jesus and also purchase merch. You can also find her on twitter, instagram, and patreon.

This week, we are welcoming guest Amaya Rourke, astrologer, ritualist, artist, teacher, and writer residing in the northwest of the Republic of Ireland. Her work is guided by her animistic land-based spiritual and magical practice, helping her to return to and reveal the wild and creative terrestrial origins of astrology and mythopoetics. In this episode, Amaya shares with us her theories on creativity and praxis in regards to her aspirations in guiding clients towards the cultivation of a deeply nourishing and co-creative relationship with the quiet rumbling of deep enchantment and living art of the more-than-human world. In what ways is our art our children? What does it mean to be dead while alive? How might we fully embody the nature of our own authentic vulnerabilities? What can go wrong when our art, as our children, begin to be perceived by others as a commodifiable object? What does it look like to speak to someone soul to soul and how might we cultivate thresholds of safety for ourselves and others? What does it mean to be in a state of flow? All this and more, on today's episode of SaturnVox.

To find out more on Amaya, check out her instagram @empress_craft, as well as her twitter under the same name here. You can also book an astrology reading with her here on her website.

This week, we are welcoming guest Reverend Erik of the Arnemancy podcast, on this the day of his solar return! Erik and I have recorded sister episodes on each other's respected podcasts on our thoughts surrounding the philosophy behind tarot reading. Get a behind the scenes peek at how your diviner friends learn to read and sus out meanings for the cards! Erik's method is a unique and innovative technique involving Renaissance philosophy, and the Art of Memory. How do stories, sounds, and smells allow us to better take hold of the opaque translucent nature of Memory? Is there any difference in how one learns the Majors vs the Pips? How is the imaginal playground informed by the sea of Eros? Isn't all magic just chaos magic anyway? All this plus laughs and jokes abound, in today's episode of SaturnVox. 

You can find out more on Erik, check out his instagram here, as well as his twitter here. You can also book a tarot reading with him on his website here. Don’t forget to check out his podcast as well, with special attention to the series he just finished on Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy.
