Happy Venus day witches, and welcome back to “Love, Lust & Magick.” This week’s episode features two iconic occultist, Damien Echols and Aaron Osias, who have joined forces to create their very own school of Western ceremonial magick called “Magnum Opus.” In this episode, the two discuss the way they met, and the synchronicities that brought them together in friendship and magical partnership. We discuss the power of magick found in the mundane, how sacred sites like churches, cathedrals, and even museums can support and inspire our craft, and the ways that Damien and Aaron approach their magick and art. Damien and Aaron share their individual journeys through the Western Mysteries, how this led them to start their own magickal school, and the power of discipline on the path. Though the retreat the two led has passed, Aaron shares the importance of discovering the powers of the Holy Guardian Angel for ourselves, and Damien discusses the power of fulfilling cycles, and allowing them to come to completion. The episode closes with both occultists sharing the power of daily practice to support your energy body, heighten your intuition, and build your magickal muscles, and tips in how to create your own daily spiritual regimen. Whether you’re an occultist looking to deepen their practice, or a witch looking to learn more about the Great Work, this is an invaluable episode to have at your disposal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Subscribe to Damien’s Patreon here::: https://www.patreon.com/Damienechols/posts -Order Damien's books here::: https://damienechols.com/books/-Follow Damien on Youtube here::: https://www.youtube.com/@damienechols8091 -Follow Damien on Instagram here::: https://www.instagram.com/damienechols-Buy Gabriela’s books and tarot deck ::: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2172952/gabriela-herstik -Preorder “Goddess Energy” here::: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0593330889?tag=randohouseinc7986-20-Sign up for “Perverting the Tarot”::: https://www.gabrielaherstik.com/shop -Support the show and Gabriela’s work by joining the Patreon::: https://patreon.com/gabyherstik -Follow Gabriela on Instagram, Threads, and Tik Tok -Gabriela’s website::: https://www.gabrielaherstik.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Album art by Foie Graphics “Love, Lust & Magick” is produced by Zach Toman
