NAMELESS — Episode 015
The 15th episode of NAMELESS, which is usually a monthly Patreon exclusive podcast series, but as this will be the last episode for a few months, I thought I’d share it here with all you good people. For those who don't know: Darragh is host of The Spirit Box podcast (https://www.patreon.com/spiritbox) and author of the book “Song of the Dark Man” (https://amzn.to/4jtJTYr) and Tommie is the man behind Adventures in Woo Woo (http://www.adventuresinwoowoo.com/) & The Forty Servants (https://www.adventuresinwoowoo.com/thefortyservants/)!
This will be the last NAMELESS episode for a couple of months as Darragh is taking a break from podcasting.
Agatha Not Agatha
Can you talk about how this podcast came about, how it got its name, and favorite/significant moments from episodes past from each of you?
ECOCLOWN
What are your meditation practices looking like these days?
Rich
People often talk about the 'results' of a spell, but rarely talk about any physical toll. Can magickal work cause actual physiological damage or chronic illness?
BEELEAF
How much do the visuals of a ritual matter? If a sigil is ugly or say a servant's art doesn't 'resonate' with you, is the magick more likely to fail, or is the aesthetic just window dressing?
Te Wheke Pai
What's long distance international travel looking like? Do you bring your routine with you, do you try to research the woos of the destination..etc?
JARJARBONKS
Many modern occultists 'adopt' deities or practices from cultures they have no ancestral or cultural link to. Where is the point where 'eclectic practice' becomes cultural appropriation? And does the spirit actually care about our human politics of lineage?
CODINA
Is 'magick always has a price' a genuine occult law, or is it just a piece of Christian baggage?
ECOCLOWN
And are you guys surprised by any news items this year so far, or like me, just all expected part of the course?
Tbecket
I've been staying current on global news. Are the End Times upon us?
And if so, how should we best prepaге?
SIR PSI
Is it possible to perform effective magick without an altered state of consciousness? Can pure, dry intellectual intent ever rival the results of 'gnosis' or trance?
Jon Lenin
Is the 'Dark Man' of folklore a literal, independent entity roaming the crossroads, or is he a recurring psychological projection of the human collective unconscious? Does it even matter which one he is if the interaction feels the same?
Four.Fingers
is there such a thing as Technomancy' that actually works? Can an algorithm be haunted, or is magick strictly tied to the organic, biological 'wyrd' of the earth?
CRYSTAL DIVA
If there was a way to make magick 100% reliable and easy (like an app) would we lose the very thing that makes it transformative? Is the struggle and the 'theatre' of ritual actually the part that changes the practitioner?
Gin Jones
Chaos magic adjacent question-would you or have you ever been tempted to join an organised religion to try out a belief structure? If so, what do you recommend? I want to go to church for the music and vibes-should I ?
Coda Goldfish
What is the most 'non-magical' thing you do that actually improves your magic the most?
