   Ep.54 / The Magic of Rot & Decay

   In this episode, we explore the magic of rot and decay, looking beyond their familiar associations with death, destruction, and renewal to consider what happens when something simply reaches the end of its form. Inspired by an unexpected encounter with a young buck whose remains I watched slowly decompose over several months, this episode delves into the often overlooked processes that continue long after death. From the alchemical operation of putrefaction to historical magical practices involving the dead, we examine how decomposing matter has been understood, approached, and incorporated into different magical and religious traditions. I mention Zoroastrian understandings of death, nasu, and ritual pollution, considering how decay can carry vastly different meanings depending on the worldview through which it is understood. However, it is not simply an exploration of historical practices or the darker aesthetics of witchcraft. We turn our attention to the materials already surrounding us, things like rotting fruit, fallen leaves, weathered wood, corroded metals, discarded objects, and the remnants of things that have outlived their original purpose. I talk about what these materials offer our craft, and what their gradual deterioration can teach us about severance, banishing, destruction, and the act of letting something end. We of course consider practical approaches to working with decay as an ongoing magical process, from allowing materials to deteriorate over time to exploring burial, composting, and the handling of ritual remains. Of course I bring up the question of our cultural discomfort with rot, the romanticization of transformation, and the tendency to assume that every ending must lead to something better.

   Ep. 53 / Venusian Love Magic

   Let's talk all things love magic, attraction, desire, and the much larger world of Venusian magic. Rather than approaching love magic as simply a means of finding a partner or making someone fall in love with you, I explore the many different things that can fall under this enormous magical category, from affection, sexual desire, and reconciliation to beauty, glamour, social favor, companionship, and prosperity. We get into the importance of understanding what we actually mean when we say we want love, and how distinguishing between attraction, attention, desire, and affection can help us build much more intentional and effective workings. I dive further into Venus herself, exploring her associations with attraction, pleasure, fertility, harmony, and the art of drawing things toward us, and why reducing her to the goddess of romantic love does a disservice to the richness of her planetary and divine sphere. Historically, I explore the complicated relationship between Aphrodite and Venus, their distinct histories and cults, and the much older Near Eastern traditions associated with the planet Venus, including Inanna and Ishtar. We wander through Aphrodite’s many origin stories, her geographical associations with Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean, and the ways these traditions reveal a much more complicated picture than the familiar modern image of the love goddess. I also dive into the world of planetary magic, looking at how Venus was approached through astrological timing, material correspondences, talismanic images, and ritual construction. We get into the practical side of things, exploring how these historical principles can inform modern Venusian workings. From charms for affection and remembrance to the use of perfume, written names, cords, knots, mirrors, sympathetic figures, and personal materials, I discuss the many ways we can give a particular desire a physical form and construct circumstances around the outcome we want to encourage. We get into erotic magic, dream workings, binding, and the use of figurines and other objects to embody desire and enact a desired condition, as well as the role of prayer, offerings, and direct engagement with Venus and other divine or spiritual powers. Along the way, I consider the ethical questions that arise when attraction magic begins to move toward coercion, obsession, and attempts to interfere with another person’s will, because if Venusian magic is ultimately concerned with attraction, pleasure, and the coming together of things, then perhaps we should be asking not only what we want to draw toward us, but what kind of relationship we actually want to cultivate once it arrives.

   Ep.52 / The House of Wax & Clay

   On this week's episode, we talk all things wax, clay, mud, and other natural materials for the use of building effigies, charms, vessels, and whatever else your heart desires. Aside from an extensive conversation on what we can do with these things once they are made, I dive further into the material itself like its physical properties, its origins, its correspondences, and what it might bring into the working beyond simply being the thing we happen to sculpt with. I explore the idea of creating a body from these materials and the enchanting act of molding something into existence with your own hands. We get into sympathetic and contagious magic, the ways a figure can become a miniature body, substitute, vessel, container, actor, or participant within a ritual, and how we can use these constructed bodies to physically enact things that would otherwise remain abstract. Rather than simply asking what a figure should look like, we explore the much more interesting question of what do you want this body to experience? However, I strain how crucial it may be to think about the correspondences to your material, in this case wax and clay, take into consideration things like planetary alignments, elemental qualities, the timing of gathering, where the material was gathered from, and the circumstances surrounding its collection. Historically, I dive into the long and rich use of these materials for magical purposes, particularly their connection to the mythology of human creation. We wander through Ancient Mesopotamian ritual and creation traditions, the Maqlû tablets, Egyptian magical figures and the overthrow of Apophis, the PGM and its wax and clay figures, and the many ways ritual bodies have been burned, bound, pierced, buried, drowned, broken, destroyed, protected and transformed. I of course get into creating circumstances for the body you've made. The figure becomes almost like a tiny stage upon which the condition you're trying to create can actually be performed. Towards the end of the episode, I have some fun with the idea of the material itself being a crucial participant, sometimes your carefully planned figure suddenly refuses to stand or decides it has a completely different face than the one you intended. So at what point does the material become a collaborator rather than merely a tool?
