The Re-Patterning Podcast

Magick and mental health are usually treated as separate worlds, but today, Arden argues that keeping them apart may be limiting real healing. In this season finale, we explore why traditional therapy and recovery frameworks sometimes fall short of creating deep change. Arden breaks down the stigma around "magical thinking" and shares how tools like corrective experiences, shadow work, and spirit allyship can support transformation. The conversation also gets personal, touching on stigma, identity, and the courage to trust experiences that don’t fit into neat categories. Arden advocates for a broader understanding of mental health that includes spiritual phenomena and the potential of magick to facilitate rapid transformation.We bring this season to a close by encouraging listeners to reconsider their biases and explore new pathways for mental wellness and self-actualization.Pre-Save Arden's new Planeswalkers EP, "The Mind Room" at https://onerpm.link/191235504358Join our community on Patreon: patreon.com/therepatterningpodcastTo learn more about The Re-Patterning Project visit therepatterningproject.com.Instagram: instagram.com/therepatterningprojectFacebook: facebook.com/therepatterningproject Produced by Tomi Trembath of the Keymaster Collective.Theme music by Andrew Means.Video animations by Mortis & Madriax.Cover photo of Arden by Al Alvarez.Logo by Adeline Dally Soothteller.Thumbnail design by Amal Desai

This week on The Re-Patterning Podcast, we're joined by occult author, teacher, and podcaster, Mat Auryn. Mat is the author of books such as Psychic Witch and The Psychic Art of Tarot, and the cohost of The Circle Is Podcast, alongside Rachel True.Mat joins us to discuss psychic ability, magical practice, and how both are shaped by self-knowledge, conditioning, and repetition. We explore how intuition is often trained out of us, how to tell the difference between useful perception and spiraling delusion, and why inner work matters just as much as any spell or divination tool.Mat explains why he believes everyone is psychic, even if those abilities are dormant or suppressed. He also shares practical ways to develop and regulate psychic sensitivity, including meditation, journaling, divination, and simple energetic exercises.

Today on the Re-Patterning Podcast, we're joined by Robert Greene, the best selling author of celebrated books such as The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction. Our conversation centers around Robert's upcoming book, The Law of the Sublime, which explores the spiritual aspects of the human experience and the way it impacts our history, art, and even our consciousness.Robert shares with us the long journey of brining this book into existence, born from a stroke, a near-death experience, and seven years of handwritten obsession. Those familiar with his previous work will be introduced to a side of Robert they've never seen before. His upcoming book, and the lived experience that inspired it, shows us how the sublime is the kind of experience words can never quite capture, how illness and physical limitation reshaped his writing process, and why slowness, struggle, and embodiment can create work with a different kind of power.Join our community on Patreon: patreon.com/therepatterningpodcastTo learn more about The Re-Patterning Project visit therepatterningproject.com.Instagram: instagram.com/therepatterningprojectFacebook: facebook.com/therepatterningprojectProduced by Tomi Trembath of the Keymaster Collective.Theme music by Andrew Means.Video animations by Mortis & Madriax.Cover photo of Arden by Al Alvarez.Logo by Adeline Dally Soothteller.Thumbnail design by Amal DesaiImproved transcripts available on https://freepodcasttranscription.com/transcription/5b816889b113ec2eea736d57f1537cec75ff27e0.srt
