This week, we are engaging in something a bit different. For those of you keeping up with me on the socials, you might be informed that I have survived something very intense and frightening lately. It caused me to realize a lot about how I was navigating the world versus how I imagined myself able to sail through. In the end, every part of me had to die. The person who moved from New Orleans to Houston sits on my ancestor altar now, a ghost of someone I had to sacrifice in order to still be...

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!

What are the burdens and responsibilities of those...

This week, we welcome tattooist, conjurer, and practitioner of the occult arts, Gary Noriyui onto the pod to talk about their practice with Thai occult and tattooing. Gary shares with us stories about their journey as a practitioner, which speak on respect for one's ancestors, elders, and the traditions one is involved with.

This week, we welcome mystic, sorcerer, artist, and writer David Davis onto the pod to chat about meeting and making sense of the martial mystery. The future is still being dreamed up by all of us. Are you honoring the revolutionary spark of madness that inspires someone to go out and do something? David and I chat about Mars as the moment of radicalization, the initiatory moment of the surgeon's knife as it cuts out what is making the self and society sick. We speak on donning the cloak of...

This week, we welcome artist, astrologer, gold and silversmith, and talisman maker extraordinaire Genie Desert onto the podcast to chat about the intersection between art and academia. Genie has been making incredibly breathtaking talismans for the fixed stars and planets, and when I received my own for Alcyone, I was struck by the incredible research and source materials Genie drew from to produce this potent piece of magic and art. This begins a discussion on the rejection of binaries, the...

This week we are welcoming witch, astrologer, artist, folk-psychopomp, and dear friend Jove Spucchi onto the cast to talk about nightlife, eros, and the magic woven in queer and liminal spaces. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the magical potency of nightlife by discussing Jove’s experiences weaving liminal magic within dance floors, through sound, and within communities that embrace the intersections between art, music, queerness, and the divine. Drawing their own experiences as...

We discuss the ethical and ontological nature of...

This week on SaturnVox we are welcoming astrologer, bruje, and world builder, Ari Felix, onto the pod for the season three premiere! I am thrilled to release this episode, which was a conversation filled with immense contemplative wisdom. We talk about Ari’s work in the art of worldbuilding, and its role as an anti-capitalist pedagogy for the liberation of self, an exercise in dreaming our reality as we, the sovereign of our own lives, will it to be. Ari graciously brings their knowledge and...

This week we are coming in with a bonus episode featuring the infamous, educational, and hilarious Professor Charles Porterfield!  We chat about the history of hoodoo and conjure, with our discussion emphasizing the black origins of the practice and giving an effort to showcase the importance of the study of liberation politics and revolutionary history as an ethos foundation within this sorcerous craft. What makes Hoodoo a practice distinguishably different from African Traditional...

This week we welcome guest Alexis Mincolla, chaos magician and lead singer of the industrial metal band 3Teeth on to chat about all things magic, music, and how to dance your way towards self liberation. I ask Lex some questions sent in by other listeners of the pod, such as, how did he get into magic, what inspired him to weave it into his artistic creations, and why Chaos Magic?  Mostly though, we spend the interview talking about one of my favorite things, the intersection between magic...

This week, we welcome guest Òscar Díaz, Poet, Medieval Islamicate Astrologer, and Specialist in Fixed Stars, to chat with us a bit about the intersection between poetry and divination. This conversation speaks like an epiphany of fire, with the spark of inspiration leaping from tongue to tongue. From getting the blood flowing through language, to the art of omen augury, I certainly enjoyed the liminal and whimsical wisdom Òscar was gracious enough to provide.  In what ways are both poetry...

This week, we welcome my new friend, writer, activist, filmmaker, and witch, Sarah Lyons, for a special in-person recording of the pod! I actually adored the background of city sounds you hear in this interview that I did with the @citymystic discussing her two books, which I personally think were well missing from occult literature until she wrote them, How to Study Magic and Revolutionary Witchcraft. We giggle, we joke, we contemplate horror, as we discuss some serious issues such as; Who...

This week, we are welcoming another dear friend of mine, Sasha Ravich, stellar witch, visionary spirit worker, and astrolater extraordinaire, to chat with us about their work and research within the crossroads between psychoanalysis literature and the monstrous appetite of the witch. In this episode, Sasha weaves constellations that explore the cannibalizing and vampiric scaffolding of Desire, with specific emphasis on the Witch’s journey to remove the mask of shame in order to fully embrace...

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...

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...

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.

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...

This week we are welcoming a very special guest, Diana Rose, writer and relational astrologer extraordinaire. Diana graciously agreed to come on the pod to share her life nourishing wisdom on that death bringer we all know so well, that most great of planets, Lord Saturn. Diana enlivens the conversation on Saturn with grace and wisdom well earned, through earnest experience and the allowance of devotional trust shared with this mighty sphere, he who rules bones, structures, and limitations....

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,...

This week, we are welcoming guest Jedidiah Forrest Gainey, OTO initiate, Thelemite, co-owner of Botanica Macumba in New Orleans, and personal friend of mine. My original guest for this week had a family emergency and I was very blessed to have Jed agree to let me come record in his home so the pod could remain on schedule. Marvel in wonder as two malefic ruled people with strong Gemini placements attempt to talk about one of the most controversial occultists of all time, on a day Mercury...

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...

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...
