Hadean Press Podcast #41 -The Wandering School of Secrets with Simon Dyda
Welcome to our Autumn Equinox episode and the blessed ending of Summer. Today I have the honour of welcoming Simon Dyda back to the show to discuss his inspiring book, ‘The Wandering School of Secrets’.
In this episode we discuss the history of wandering sorcerers, the benefits of magic on the road, the importance of folk magic, spiritual patrons, working with our ancestors, and how we can consider an archaic eschatology of Dawn and Dusk in our practice.
Even if you don’t intend to travel as an itinerant witch across strange lands, this book is filled with excellent practical knowledge and historical examples which will surely spark your imagination and curiosity. 'The Wandering School' has been out for a good while now, so if you still haven’t picked it up yet then I strongly recommend it.

Hadean Press Podcast #40 - The Key to Ancient Greek Religion with Giulia Turolla
Welcome to the earthly season of Virgo Dear listeners I have a special treat for you all today as we welcome back Hadean’s own Giulia Turolla to discuss her recently published book, ‘The Key to Ancient Greek Religion: A Source of Academic Knowledge for Practitioners’.
Giulia and I discuss the nature of her Book, which she describes as a tool for practitioners, a reference manual not only for various aspects of Greek religion, magic and mysticism, but also a truly fantastic resource which collates modern and cutting edge academic resources into a single location, all with the practitioner in mind.
As Giulia says in our interview, books with a more practical leaning often trail decades behind what is being discussed in more learned spheres, so it was her ambition to pour all of this knowledge into a single work to aid in levelling the playing field and getting her readers up to speed with our most contemporary understanding.
You can find Giulia’s book here: https://hadean.press/products/the-key (https://hadean.press/products/the-key)...

Hadean Press Podcast #39 - Summa Sacre Magice - with Bradley Sneddon and Andreas Erneus
Welcome to Leo season! In this month’s episode we welcome Bradley Sneddon and Andreas Erneus, ongoing translators of the ‘Summa Sacre Magice - The Summa of Sacred Magic’, a text collated in the 14th century by the first of the author magicians, the enigmatic Berengarius Ganellus.
Today Bradley, Andy and I talk about the importance of this text, what we know about its author and the surviving manuscripts, as well as the dizzying complexity of its contents. We consider the sources Ganell drew from, and the influences this material has had on history.
We talk about magical Linguistics, practical theology, voces magice, demonic hierarchies, the nature of the Winds, cosmological structures, and much much more.
