Lux Occult

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one’s magical practice. For this panel discussion, we address the following questions. How do we navigate the relationship between doing magic for things we desire in healthy ways (and how do we define this) vs. things we might desire that would be unhelpful for us, or which might travel into the territory of spiritual bypassing? What barriers surrounding the concept of desire have we had to move through in our work? What experiences would we share?Thanks to panel guests Clodius, Zarpauluk, Catalyst and Jour de SadalsuudReferenced in today’s episode: Zarpauluk’s work https://paraimperium.wordpress.com/ https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Joanna_Ghost_Hunter/The Tibetan Book of the Dead The Big Book of Candle Magic - Jacki Smith Conversations on Citizenship and Person-Centered Work - John O’Brien & Carol BlessingThanks to Sad Black Lab for the use of their song, "Steps" https://youtu.be/rJIg__DK2X8?si=WE9aCcU6lpMIISpMhttps://youtu.be/WYmgmgtjCpQ?si=MQ5B-93ib6yvK8f3https://open.spotify.com/track/0lqCwUEgiryqT2G8QMBgRt?si=r5t5OIaGT7yzB6vn-QOZiw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2ccTag8BLNcMa9pQfHdtxSThanks for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

Luxahttps://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one’s magical practice. Questions the panel will address: How do you know when you're getting into potential trouble by going "too far", or do you not consider this to be a risk? What have you done in the past to get yourself out of potential trouble, if you've had that experience? Banishing rituals and things like that are classic examples of rituals that can be performed to go from one mental space to another, but I'm curious about the ideas and philosophy you all might have about when it's time to use these tools, how, etcLuxa also shares an update about The Green Mushroom Projecthttps://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent forward magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent, and providing consent education to magically inclined people.

Tom Banger https://www.instagram.com/tombanger/?hl=en joins Luxa https://bsky.app/profile/luxastrata919.bsky.social to discuss the history, magic and exploits of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth. TOPY's work (with things like the cut-up method, experimenting with non-structuralist magic, art as magic, the use of sexual fluids in ritual, experimenting with language, experimenting with gender and identity, and more) has been a big influence on the practices of many modern magicians and artists and on modern occultism and art, at large. Tom explains how, although TOPY is often lumped in with Chaos Magic, there are some differences in approach that can be identified. We talk about organizing magical groups, what work and what didn’t and more! Luxa shares thoughts about their own experiences in magical groups as well as listener mail and an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent forward magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent and providing consent education to magically inclined people.

Allen Greenfield joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata (and later Flood https://exvplanis.com/) for a special episode to discuss his new book, The Secrets of the Real Black Lodge Revealed and the intersections of UFOs, Occultism, Magick, politics and more. Topics discussed include Robert Anton Wilson, Kerry Thornley and Discordianism, the robotic head of Philip K. Dick, the TV Series, Twin Peaks and what Allen means by the “Real Black Lodge” (which is a concept that comes up in the show and elsewhere), UFOs/UAPs and what the government knows, oldschool Ufology and Project Bluebook, Allen’s time in the OTO, and what is the nature of the Phenomena? It’s a wild ride down several rabbit holes which I think those who are into unpacking layered meanings in things will enjoy!Luxa shares thoughts about magic and the phenomenon, and a sound magic track inspired by the strange events which occurred at Rendlesham Forest beginning on the night of December 26th, 1980. There’s also an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent forward magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent, and providing consent education to magically inclined people.
