Oh, that Donna Lewis!

The intro / closing track from E-27 was the track "Don't Ever" by Donna Lewis and it was from her 2008 album "In The Pink."

At the time I found and selected the song, I didn't realize that Donna Lewis was the same artist who back in the 90's released the song "I Love You Always Forever."  Go figure? You never know who you're going to come across on MusicAlley.

#027 - Free Will, Magick, and Deity

In this episode we explore magick and creativity as we speak with the mysterious electronic music composer Alka who was kind of enough to come on the show and share his music with us which is featured throughout the episode. In A Corner in the Occult we learn about famous, mystic, poet, artist, and engraver William Blake. Highly influential to artists and occultists, Blake has been a focus for scholars since his death as he continues to fascinate and inspire new generations. We learn about the phrase, “So Mote It Be” in the Essence of Magick. Have you ever considered the phrase itself and what exactly it implies as a practitioner of magick? Find out in this episode! Also during the show, I read listener email, we hear a great track by Donna Lewis and to close we revisit the ideas of Free Will, Magick, and Deity. Do you have free will in regards to your personal religious theology? If so, what does this mean in how you view deity? Find out this and more in this electronic episode!

Now Available on Stitcher Radio

I received an email from Sticher Radio today and "based on listeners requests" they have taken it upon themselves to list the podcast on Stitcher. So, The Infinite and the Beyond is now available on Stitcher. Enjoy!

Just a heads up!

In my constant endeavor to juggle life, the show website may be out of commission in the near future as I attempt to learn WordPress and combine my various projects/websites into one. For example:

Art
Paranormal
The Infinite and the Beyond
Baphmetis Meditation
Other pursits, interests, and services

My discussion with Alka (that will be in episode 27) has inspired me to unite the various aspects of who I am instead of herding them into different websites. The Infinite and the Beyond and it's domain (www.infinite-beyond.com) is going to be the hub for this consolidation, which is why the show website will be out of commission as I make this change.

Stay tuned and happy solstice!
