In this episode of the Mystai Podcast, I am rejoined by occult & author Julian Vayne. On the back of our last episode together, this time we discuss the historical context and evolution of Chaos Magic with texts like Caroll's Liber Nul & Psychonaught and some of the things modern Chaos Magicians get wrong about the system. We also have some fascinating insights into Psychogeography, consciousness & the metaphoric language we use to describe it, and how that is affected through use of psychoactive substances.

In this episode of the Mystai Podcast, I am rejoined by Ben Stimpson, Llewellyn author of Ancestral Whispers, and the forthcoming Wise Ones with Crossed Crow. Ben has been a long-time friend & fellow on my own author journey, so it was a pleasure to sit back down with him after 3 years and do a retrospective on how we've both changed.

In this episode we discuss his recent focus on the Cunning Folk in England & Wales, how their accounts differed from European counterparts & explore some contemporary issues and hot topics in modern pagan reconstructions & how we go about constructing narratives of practice.

Ben's book, Ancestral Whispers can be found at Llewellyn here: https://www.llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9780738774725

In this episode of the Mystai Podcast, I'm re-join by author of the Gaessa trilogy, Kerry Wisner. We catch up on what life has been like over the past 2 years and Kerry's new discoveries in the Arte as well as his philosophies on practical witchcraft, especially those derived from his teachings in hermetic orders & tutelage under a family of hereditary witches.

I highly recommend checking out Kerry's books with Troy here: https://www.troybooks.co.uk/kerry-wisner/

Kerry also runs classes & talks through his site at: https://www.akhetservices.com/index.html
