Episode #024 - Between Oraia and Helene

In this episode we speak with fellow podcaster Oraia Helene from Between the Earth and Stars and talk about her recent changes with her name, doing her shows, how she balances her scientific side with her magickal side, and to close we discuss her work as a writer and podcaster and have a great time while doing it.  We also speak with Inanna Gabriel from Misanthrope Press regarding the new pagan story anthology Etched Offerings Voices from the Cauldron of Story.  In A Corner in the Occult, we learn about Scientist, Thelemite and 20th century Occultist Jack Parsons who, interestingly enough, has a crater on the moon named after him. Listen and found out why! And later in the show we discuss the Powers of the Sphinx in The Essence of Magick. To know, to dare, to will, to keep silent, and to go are crucial to the developing student of mysticism. Also in the episode we feature a great song from the Philadelphia band Espers an emerging indie band and we close the show with a special musical holiday treat from SCHOLAR the occultist and rapper. All this and more in this delightful episode!

Goodbye PDF Library...

The other day I made the decision to remove the PDF library from the website. It had been causing some concern regarding copyrights and such and I didn't want anymore issues with it so I took it down.  I apologize that there was no warning or forwarded announcement about doing so.  It all happened very quickly and it had to be done.

Baphmetis Meditation

Introducing Baphmetis Meditation! A new podcast series that will be a nice compliment to The Infinite and the Beyond which I will still be producing.  No worries! ;-)

TEoMS: The altar in relation to the body

In reference to the segment on Altars from this episode here are some pictures that better illustrate some of the points which were made.

 My personal meditation/ritual altar and is roughly the breadth of my outstretched arms.  I made this altar to fit my body. 

"Depending if one will usually be seated or standing before it, the height of one’s altar should be as tall as their navel. The depth should not exceed one’s reach. Nor should it be wider than a comfortable breadth of their arms ensuring that all items will be accessible to the practitioner."
