In the Borderlands

Occult thinker and practitioner David Beth once made a vow to wait at least a decade before writing another book. "The Black Pilgrimage“ is the result of that promise. With the release of this tome as a springboard, we dive together with David into the dark, beautiful abyss. We touch upon themes of identity, integrity, and the dangerous desire to stay unaffected by the world. Can we embrace the world with all its imperfections, horrors and loss and stay porous in relation to it? Can we allow it to remain a mystery?DAVID BETH LINKShttps://theionpublishing.com/https://kosmicgnosis.com/Soundscape for intro and outro by Lee Berwick.https://www.leeberwick.com/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESThelemahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThelemaMichael Bertiauxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bertiauxhttps://www.instagram.com/michaelbertiauxart/Voudon Gnosis by David Bethhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6850109-voudon-gnosisMuseshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusesOrpheushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OrpheusOdinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OdinMartin Heideggerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_HeideggerLwahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LwaGnosticismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnosticismFriedrich Nietzschehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_NietzscheZorba the Greekhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorba_the_Greek_(film)Anselm Kieferhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anselm_KieferHellblazerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellblazer

We’re starting a new thread in our podcast weave! "Epic Small Talk“ is basically conversations between performance storytellers and other myth workers on different mythological subjects. A deep dive into the nitty gritty of myth, if you will. And to bless any new project, we have to start by invoking and inviting trickster to open the landscape for us. Join performance storytellers Jo Blake and Dominic Kelly (UK) as well as your eternal hosts Mikael Öberg (SE) and Torgrim Mellum Stene (NO) in a delightful caper on the edge between right and wrong, the cracks, the openings, the thresholds, the grey areas of neither/nor where trickster resides and spins its dynamic dance. The image of trickster is seen from a wide range of perspectives, including in relation to the current state of the world. We invite you to the beginning. A beginning.JO BLAKE LINKhttps://jo-blake.co.uk/DOMINIC KELLY LINKhttps://dominickelly.net/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESTricksterhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TricksterBlodeuweddhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlodeuweddMabinogionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MabinogionRavenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravens_in_Native_American_mythologyCoyotehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_(mythology)Trickster Makes This World by Lewis Hydehttps://lewishyde.com/trickster/Hermeshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HermesMedbhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MedbThe Ulcster Cyclehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_CycleThe Trickster Aesthetic by Jeanne Rosier Smithhttps://books.google.se/books/about/The_Trickster_Aesthetic.html?id=jgpSNwAACAAJ&redir_esc=yMauihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81uiThe Gallic Wars by Julius Caesarhttps://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.6.6.htmlPeer Gynthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_GyntKalevalahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KalevalaLemminkäinenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmink%C3%A4inenFrank Abagnalehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_AbagnaleCatch Me If You Canhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_Me_If_You_CanLokihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LokiVodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Santeríahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santer%C3%ADaCynthia Bourgeaulthttps://www.cynthiabourgeault.org/Epic of Gilgameshhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_GilgameshIshtar/Inannahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InannaUrukhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UrukBaldrhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BaldrFrigghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FriggEzra Poundhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_PoundLleuhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lleu_Llaw_GyffesHodhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6%C3%B0rRagnarökhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6kKachinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kachina

Our second episode on the Odinic path takes us to Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, founder of Nordic Animism and initiate to Odin in the Candomblé tradition. We speak to him about his initiation to a Norse god in an Afro-Brazilian syncretistic context, about the nature of initation in general, and how the Odinic qualities of speaking something into being and insisting on the right story are crucial counterweights to our hypermodernistic and overly representational times.What is a right story? What is a wrong story? Can you destroy the sacred by making it too seen? Too available? Join us as we explore these themes guided by the guardian of knowledge.RUNE HJARNØ RASMUSSEN LINKhttps://nordicanimism.com/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Vodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouSanteríahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santer%C3%ADaOshoshihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OshosiUllrhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UllrYorubahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_religionHávamálhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A1vam%C3%A1lDonna Harawayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_HarawayTyson Yunkaportahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kb7EWX80FoRight Story, Wrong Story by Tyson Yunkaportahttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/199122606-right-story-wrong-storyAtlantishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AtlantisGotlandhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GotlandThe Matrixhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_MatrixBlack Pantherhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_(film)Gangs of New Yorkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangs_of_New_YorkDunehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(franchise)Jötunnhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6tunnKalevalahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KalevalaRagnarökhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6kRagnarok tv serieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnarok_(TV_series)Sophie Strandhttps://sophiestrand.com/Wendigohttps://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo

Maria Kvilhaug, one of our favourite guests, has returned to "In the Borderlands“. She herself inhabits the liminal space between the scholar and the mystic and her deep delve analysis of ancient Norse poetry is always a delight to listen to. This time we have asked her to reflect on the fascinating figure of Odin, his polyvalent nature and his many, many names.

From the vibrant wilderness of Big Sur in California, we are joined by multidisciplinary artist Fletcher Tucker. Through the music label Gnome Life Records and the organisation Wildtender his work is deeply related to the re-enchantment of the world and establishing relation and dialogue with the land, with other awarenesses, with the more-than-human. We speak of the importance of ceremony and of the restoration of an ancient contact between human and landscape. Through practice. Through awareness. Through art. The land misses us.FLECHER TUCKER LINKhttps://www.fletchertucker.com/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESEsselenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EsselenSōtō zenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C5%8Dt%C5%8DAlan Wattshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_WattsWendell Berryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendell_BerryKumano kodō pilgrimage routeshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumano_Kod%C5%8DÆsir-Vanirhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86sir%E2%80%93Vanir_WarRamayanahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RamayanaRamlilahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RamlilaShintohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShintoKamihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KamiTomtenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisse_(folklore)Thulitehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThuliteRune Hjarnø Rasmussenhttps://nordicanimism.com/
