Artemis Stranger has once again graced us with her presence to discuss the election aftermath, the upcoming Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction, and shed some light on Astrological Ages and specifically, the Age of Aquarius.

   Before Artemis popped in, I spoke a bit about “the Hexorian Movement”, a growing network of magicians that started in Latin America and has begun to spread into the U.S. and Europe. It’s concerned with hidden places within cities and the power that collects there (at least, that’s my impression). Hexorius is a recently awakened godform whose sphere of influence is these hidden urban areas. During the course of recording this episode, I was able to make contact with the Hexorian Movement and we’ll be hearing from a spokesperson in the first half of January, so stay tuned! 

   Artemis and I first touched on the election aftermath and what we can expect to see begin to coalesce as we press forward. We spoke a bit about the recent rumblings from QAnon, which, at the time of this publication, seem to have been largely baseless.

   The great Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction taking place on December 21st will be the first such occurrence in Aquarius since the 17th Century, and according to Artemis, we will all be noticing an energetic shift as we head into 2021. We are entering a new era, but how things shake out depends on us. Have you done the work Saturn demands in order to reap the blessings of Jupiter?

   Following was a discussion on the Astrological Ages, starting with the Age of Leo about 12,000 years ago all the way up to the present day, on the cusp of the Age of Aquarius. Each Age has certain hallmarks, and right now, we’re leaving the Age of Pisces whose motto is “I believe,” and heading into the Age of Aquarius, whose motto is “I know.” 

   Finally, Artemis spoke at length about just what the Age of Aquarius means in terms of humanity as a whole. A more collectivist mentality, extreme scientific breakthroughs, and new ways to communicate. Aquarius is very much about tearing down old structures and building something new, so buckle up; this could be a wild ride indeed.

In this episode, we get to know Witchdoctor Utu, founder of the award-winning and world renowned pagan drum troupe, the Dragon Ritual Drummers, member of the New Orleans Voodoo Spiritual Temple, founder of the Niagara Pagan Men’s Circle and the Niagara Voodoo Shrine, dedicated to Harriet Tubman and the spirits of the Underground Railroad.

For over twenty years, he has been active in the Canadian and American pagan communities where he is a highly sought-after presenter and educator.

Here, we focused on Utu’s book “Conjuring Harriet ‘Mama Moses’ Tubman”, covering the key concepts of this unique practice, as well as some of the rituals, history, and spirits. Utu’s approach is respectful, reverent, and loving and these qualities really came out during the interview.

Finally, we discussed some of the controversy and criticism Utu’s work has been subject to over the last couple of years, how he has dealt with it, and how we, as pagans and occultists, can address such occurrences in a positive manner.

Artemis is back with her analysis of the coming U.S. Election! She breaks down the charts of DJ and Uncle Joe, analyzing how the current and upcoming astrological conditions will likely interplay with each candidate leading up to and including the election.

Perhaps more importantly, Artemis talked about how the upcoming few weeks are going to affect all of US. How will some people react to a Trump win? How will others react to a Biden Win? And how will the astrological weather influence those reactions?

Nothing is certain in these times, but forewarned is forearmed. Don’t miss this analysis of what is arguably the most contentious election in American History!

This episode, the incomparable SJ Tucker joined us for an in-depth discussion about music and magick. Sooj described her early years and chronicled her magickal and musical journey from childhood to the pixie pirate mythpunk rock star we’ve come to know and love.

Sooj went on to speak about the magick she weaves into her music and the dynamics of music, community, and the historic times we’re living in right now. We both had our say concerning creativity and performing the the Age of COVID and Sooj talked about what it took to create a new online concert venue from scratch.

Next up was “Parenting for Weirdoes”, wherein we discussed parenting from a pagan and occult perspective, specifically the best ways of handling introducing children to magickal concepts. Throughout the episode, we played some of Sooj’s new tracks.

Mars, the planet of anger, war, assertion, passion, and separation is about to loom large in all of our lives and Artemis explained what that’s going to mean for us as the Red Planet interacts with other celestial bodies over the next couple of months.

   It’s going to be a tug-of-war between the tidal forces of Oppression and Liberty. The State will be using every weapon in its arsenal to guide the masses back into line, and it will be a seductive web it weaves. Can we face down what lurks within all of us that makes us want to play Follow-the-Leader and use that Mars energy wisely to forge a new path to the future?

   Artemis provides us with a detailed breakdown of what to expect and perhaps most importantly – why events are unfolding the way they are. The fires are stoked in a time of transformation and the time is nigh to start asking ourselves if we have it within us to fight for the future.

In this episode, Sorcerer Tal, Master of the Sorcerer’s Guild, joins us for a compelling and thoroughly fascinating look at his personal magickal journey and the framework within which he works. To start, Tal talked about what set him upon his magickal path and also about the Sorcerer’s Guild, the forum he began to give practitioners of all stripes a place to learn and teach each other.

The S-1 Sigil Next, Tal introduced us to the Horde, a confederation of evolved beings existing outside of Time. The Horde observes, but does not interfere, yet will provide guidance if approached in the right ways. From there, he went on to discuss the S-1 Sigil, which can be used as a means of contacting the Horde, among other uses.

Tal went on to talk about his extensive experimentation with egregores, specifically “living” egregores and the possibility of cultivating a hive-mind or collective unconscious for them. The evolution of egregores was touched upon, along with the differences between servitors, egregores, and tulpas. Tal also spoke about “Tulpa’s Rights” and how the ways in which we treat our created beings can make a difference.

Wrapping things up, Sorcerer Tal talked about some upcoming projects of his, including ghost “hunting” and further work with the S-1 Sigil. Going back to the Horde, he talked about a Horde meeting place known as the Roadhouse, which exists in a null space of sorts within the Astral which he refers to as The Nothing. Anyone can visit the Roadhouse and consult with the Horde, use their library and obtain assistance in building one’s own Dream Platform that can be used during one’s lifetime, but also as a touchpoint after death.

   In this episode we talk with Jason Luxon on a variety of scientific and occult subjects through the lens of what it's going to take to for Humanity to make the leap from a Type 0 to a Type 1 civilization.  As always, Jason presents complicated concepts in concise layman's terms and adeptly dovetails science and magick. 

   Among the subjects covered are the recent SpaceX launch, cold fusion, quantum computing, teleportation, warp engine technology, and more!  Fire up your favorite audio player and prepare yourself for a renewed sense of wonder at not only the marvelous universe in which we exist, but at the reminder of the awe-inspiring achievements Humanity is capable of. 

   In this time of social upheaval, it can sometimes seem as though we've reached a dead end, but perhaps there are reasons to hope after all.  Join Nightgaunt and Jason Luxon on a journey of speculation and wonder and prepare yourself for the future!

In this episode, we're looking at the COVID-19 pandemic through an occult lens. Join Roni Jean Neal, Artemis, and I in peering at the psychospiritual underpinnings of our reactions to the crisis to the celestial events influencing our world. There's a lot going on just under the skin of consensus reality, and we've uncovered a bit of that.

PHOENIX DAY

   At long last, the Ancient Wisdom Salvage Yard has risen from the ashes! In this episode, I talk a bit about what's gone down since Episode 26 and ramble on about a few other things. Interspersed throughout the narrative are tiny little micro-interviews from ConVocation 2019, as well as a 2019 talk with Roni Jean Neal at a late-night diner. At the 11th Hour, Roni called in for a more-in-depth interview in which we talked about society, communication, and practical solutions to the difficulty we all seem to have these days in communicating effectively. She talked about her work with "Planet Jwow" and the exciting things brewing there.

   It's good to be back, my friends.  Welcome to the New Aeon!
