BONUS: Buddhist Ritual Magic, with Zachary Lui (Rebroadcast from 2023)
About this episode
This bonus episode features a discussion with Zachary Lui on Buddhist ritual magic and various healing practices.
In celebration of the holiday season, here's a bonus episode from the archives. In May of 2023, I sat down with Zachary Lui who is a practitioner of Chinese medicine, magic, and shamanism in the Toronto area. We started by talking about his early work with Chinese martial arts, traditional medicine, and qigong. We then got into Zac’s practice of chaos magic, diverse ritual practices, reiki, and esoteric Buddhist healing. Finally, we discussed his communication with different deities and spirits, as well as the potential dangers of working with them in his healing practice.
