The Wizard's Tower - A journey through the labyrinth of mysticism.

In a previous episode we looked at what would happen with a pure ritualist attacking an energeticists. We did this as a kind of knock down drag out radio drama. In this episode we're looking at the reverse with the energeticist on the attack using energy work, and the ritualist relying on ritual magicks and things tied into those practices. We take a more clinical tone in our evaluation this time around, focusing on the strengths and weaknesses of each practitioner and evaluating possible outcomes, as well as a final definitive outcome based on what we could expect from two such practitioners duking it out. This uses idealized concepts of the practices in that they are restricted to the core methods of their practice, and as such most real world practitioners won't fit these molds perfectly.

In this episode we explore the practical applications of elements within  magick, but also the limitations of relying on an elemental system. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

A lineage is a fantastic, amazing, and powerful way to connect with greater powers, flows of of the universe, and essences beyond comprehension. For an witch, mage, mystic, magick worker, spiritualist, shaman, or any other practitioner of the arts working with lineages can provide a fascinating and unique expansion of perspective. Avoid the pitfalls though! This episode looks at lineages, a little bit about initiation, working with, and the benefits of a lineage as well as the risks and rewards associate with that action.

This show is a bit of a campfire episode in which I'm going to go over my thoughts on metaphysical practices, shamanism, ghosts and spirits, entities and conjured beings, and all the other differences between our allies on the other side of the spirit realms. I provide my view, and ONLY my view, on these things as well as some of how I've come to that view as a practitioner. If you hold your own view or idea as to what is or what isn't that is fantastic, and I encourage you to share that view and keep strong to it. This lecture is one founded on a request from a client to really dig into the differences between beings that have passed from life into the afterlife, and beings that exist in other realms who have not yet passed, or who have pass through the wheel of reincarnation only. This is a massive topic, and I try to handle it like a bull rider in a rodeo, but there is always more to say. It is my greatest hope that you, the mystical, magickal, metaphyiscal, shamanic, or other practitioner of the arts sorcerous gain something of value from these rambling thoughts of a wizard in his tower.

One of the most common and powerful forces we can encounter in our day to day travels and journeys are the land spirits. Mysterious to many, these powerful forces of nature can be a great aid and boon to us in our day to day mysticism and magickal workings.

Today's show ensures you get the most out of working with the spirits of the land, and helps you advance in your animistic practices!

Loki worship is on the rise! Why though is the question? Understanding how Loki has gained popularity not just as a pop culture icon, but as an influence in Norse Mysticism and various practices of the Heathen Religions is an important step to understanding why Gods may be more or less in favor. We look back to the past to understand the present, and maybe even the future, as to why Loki is so prominent in our modern Norse Pagan Practices.

One of the most referenced and essential skills in the mystical arts and metaphysical practices is often grounding. Yet what each person means by the words often differs from practice to practice, practitioner to partationer, and even situation to situation. So this episode is all about grounding, what it is, how to do it, and why you would need or want to!
