Being the sign that occupies my 6h, Scorpio season tends to be a time in which I begin thinking about how we are of service, to our communities, to our spirits, and sometimes even to ourselves. With that in mind, today I am welcoming back to the podcast Brother Moses to chat about his new community space and the Kickstarter campaign for the Holy Mountain Temple. Moses' plan involves the combination of maker space ideology with a cunning man's sense of value, which creates a synthesis that...

Today, we are welcoming guest Connor Khalil Marvin, Sufi initiate and Ceremonial Magician, to talk about Grail mythology and the mystic perception of Love. What makes a lover? How might Occultists benefit from utilizing Esoteric Chivalry? What is so important about Martial energy? What elements might allow a story to stand the test of time? Connor and I explore all this and more, starting with the Grail and freely flowing into conversations of erotic mysticism from the Sufi perspective, which...

Today we are welcoming Brian Wilkins, magician, poet, and taijiquan teacher in the Hudson Valley, onto the podcast to chat about his recent poetry book, A Wheel of Small Gods, published through Revelore Press with art by Brennen Reece. This interview is chock full of praxis wisdom listeners won’t want to miss. How do we take our rituals and turn them into art? In what ways does inviting the spirits of the decans into our lives change the way we process pain and disease in the body? How does...

Today we are celebrating the season two premiere of SaturnVox with a very special guest, author, magician, simple country metaphysician, and the man who wrote the book I first started learning tarot from, Lon Milo DuQuette! Lon and I were introduced by my friend and former podcast guest, CR Sanders, and I was very lucky to get a chance to talk with him back in July. It's a cozy, comfortable episode, jam packed with lots of wisdom and metaphysical nuggets of insight. We laugh, we joke, we chat...

Today we are celebrating the Season One finale of the podcast with a special guest and a beautiful conversation weaving fiction, cunning, and ethics all into one pot and serving it up to you all as a hearty stew to warm the soul. This week I am welcoming Dr. Alexander Cummins, contemporary cunning man and historian, onto the podcast where we chat a bit about what one can learn about magic and ethics from reading the outstanding work of fiction Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norell by Susanna...

This week I am welcoming artist, diviner, and fellow podcast host, J M Hamade, on the air to do something new and fun, wherein we have recorded two interviews as offerings to the public by means of a little episode exchange. In this particular SaturnVox conversation, Jay and I discuss magic and astrology as seen through an aesthetic lens, as well as the ontological implications of mythos building and the ways in which we structure our Wellspring of Imagination. What makes the artist and the...

This week I am welcoming folk witch and devotee to Babalon, Cooper Kaminsky. I have been dying to have a chat about Queerness in Kabbalah for some time now, and there really was no better person to ask than a non-binary Jewish witch if you ask me! Cooper gives us their insight into the intersection between the queer and Jewish experience, wisdom on both Babalon and the Shekinah, and we even find time to discuss what it means to embody the Middle Pillar along the Tree of Life. In true...

This week I am welcoming Bishop Orlee Stewart, artist and witch, to talk about the magic of the internet, evoking sub-lunar spirits, and the benefits, as well as, dangers of using magic to embrace High Strangeness. Within this episode, we chat about other worlds, extra dimensions, and the joys of leaning into one’s True Will, along with the synchronicities that follow. We spend some time discussing the existence of aliens, the Ars Goetia, and Cthullian mythos, showcasing the wonders and...

This week, I have with me Tamaryn, musician, witch, perpetual student of the cosmos, and owner of the store 'Major Arcana' in Half Moon Bay, California. This episode is a powerful expression of creativity, passion, and shadow work. As Saturnine witches, we tackle these subjects as they must be truly seen, beyond masks of virtue and bound instead by an intentional acknowledgment of the All-Being as paradoxical in nature. Tamaryn and I discuss all of this and more through a Thelemic,...

Every DnD player knows that all parties are more fun when they include a good Bard. Mythos building and story-telling are one of the most basic skills that makes human consciousness so interesting. All social customs are built from myth, but as Mercury in their guise of Trickster will teach you, creating new myths is one of the best ways to subvert and redirect customs and social order. With that consideration in mind, I invited CR Sandars, otherwise known as Chris, onto the podcast to...

On this week’s episode we have musician, print maker, liminal beauty and Marian devotee, Ramona Martinez, creator of the Visions of Mary oracle deck. Have you ever had one of those experiences where you meet a new friend and can’t help but become immediately comfortable? This was the experience Ramona and I had as we sat down with some tea to discuss the various faces of the Mothers Mary and Hekate. This episode unfolds more like sisters hiding under bed covers at night sharing secrets than...

On this week’s episode we have candle maker, sorceress of ecstatic mysteries, and devotee of Babalon, Sarah Jezebel Wood joining us. Sarah and I spend some time waxing poetics, if you will, on the depth of spell crafting and discipline that goes into her talismanic candle line Lovi Artes, the hardships of marketing an occult business through social media, and the connection between candle making, dancing, and the Goddess Babalon. Why is tension necessary for ecstasy? In what ways does candle...

On this week’s episode we have guest Sasha Ravich, professional Folk-Necromancer and Astrologer for Witches. Sasha joins us this week to discuss the importance of folklore and mythos as a foundational aspect of cognitive blending between birth chart and scrying mirror. How does one’s relationship with the dead affect the living? In what ways can we explore myth and fairy tale to inform our understanding of liminal relationships? Why should people cultivate caution when developing spirit...

On this week’s episode we have guest Joshua Adam Sharp, better known as Algol from the New Orleans based Black Metal project Mehenet.

On this week’s episode we have guest Cydney of Lady Malandra here to discuss the webs we weave, magic that pours from the fingertips, and the creation of the most adorable spirit homes I've ever seen. Being an episode about the magic we make with repetitive moments of the hand, we spend a lot of time talking about birthing art and giving form for spirits to take shape while also giving practical advice and hands on experience of what the process might look like. To find out more about...

On this week’s episode we have guest Cooper of the Witchhassle podcast here to discuss the link between poetry and necromancy. We get into a bunch of other cool topics like language use, the intersection between the liminal, madness, and melancholy, as well as a bit of left politics on how one might create mutual aid through poetry. Is poetry ruled by the Moon, Mercury, Saturn, or maybe all three? This episode was a complete delight and filled with much laughter on both sides. I hope you all...

On this week’s episode we have guest Mahigan of Kitchen Toad here to discuss a variety of things revolving around animism and sorcerous techniques involving spirit communications and relationships. Come join us as we discuss the various applications of the DCIS, how to use one’s natal chart to find spirits that have a birthright relationship to us, and just enjoy the chaos driven passion of listening to two Gemini risings talk about their favorite things. This episode is jam packed with old...

This week we have a special episode for our listeners. Instead of focusing on some sort of philosophical topic, I want to tell you the story of my friend. Emmett Dwyer, fka Brother Mark, hammer of God and former member of the Process Church of the Final Judgment. Join us as we discuss some of the practices and theology behind the Process Church, and learn the wisdom of living in the moment to honor our authentic self.  What is a gray force? How is Aikido similar to the tenets of the Process...

Moses of the Holy Mountain Temple joins us this week to help explore what it means to reconcile our past with our future, how to move past monotheistic trauma to embrace the wisdom of our ancestors, as well as how intertwined magic is with religion, and we do it all through the lens of Jewish Mysticism! So join us as we discuss the Tribes of Israel, the heavy magic they were conducting at the altar, and alow Moses to offer you insight on how to blend occult studies with the religious contract...

Dalanah of the Moon Matters podcast joins us this week to help explore what it means to be a stoic, how stoicism fits into astrology, and why allowing ourselves to view fate with a sense of awe may actually be the key to setting ourselves free. We know that taking on the hat of determinism can seem scary, especially to magicians who want to reshape the world according to their Will. I think this is a very fine aspiration, but as you listen to this episode I want magicians most of all to keep...

Guest Austin of BanexBramble joins us this week to talk about plant spirits, earth based ritual, and dance as centered roles of his magic practice. In our exploration we touch on my favorite definition of witchcraft, that of Queer Liberation.  How can witchcraft be used as an embodied experience to bridge the gap between being Othered and Free? How can we explore the lines of madness in order to embody the other more fully? In what ways do song and dance allow us to more deeply connect with...

Guest Joshua Madara joins us this week to talk about his work in technomancy and his views on the application of robots in magic. In this very first episode of the SaturnVox podcast, we explore what it means to be human (and potentially more than human) and dance our way through conversations on the liminal dream of living and the constraints of language within the body and mind. So come join in, and allow yourself to play with thought experiments that question reality and produce only...
