Episode 146 - Francesca Way - Art, Occultism and Friendly Conjuration

About this episode

Francesca Way discusses her artistic and magical practices, including her experiences with the Abramelin Operation and the connections between magic and art.

My guest for this episode is artist, filmmaker, occultist and magical practitioner Francesca Way. Francesca is an expert Tarot reader and specialises in Ceremonial Magic and Witchcraft. Their practice is grounded in deep spiritual transformation and a life-changing connection with her Holy Guardian Angel, something which is only developed through an intense magical rite lasting many months known as the Abramelin Operation. She also helps people with their own esoteric development in one-to-one sessions which can involve tarot readings, divination, intuitive guidance and a variety of other techniques. In the interview I begin by asking Francesca about how their magical practice began and then we talk about the experience of going through the Abramelin Operation. From there we discuss the relationship between Francesca’s magical practice, artwork and film-making which leads into a broader conversation about the connections between magic, occultism and the paranormal.
