We welcome artist and magical practitioner JM Hamade to join me and astrologer Elodie St-Onge Aubut in an ongoing discussion about the cross of creativity, the imagination, the spirit world, the post mortem state, art, aesthetic philosophy, image making, and lunar astrology. Elodie and I are amidst an ongoing collaboration focusing on the Lunar layer of astrology which explores the functions, potentials, philosophies, shapes, implications, uses, magic, myth, history and spiritual inhabitants of the Lunar Zodiac. We center our work around the axis of a list of 28 Shapes Of The World mentioned in the Greek Magical Papyri and with that as a matrix and nexus we explore outward from there. Over the past year our discussions together are emerging into the public now as we embark on a dialogue with other practitioners, thinkers, astrologers, and artists with the mission to embody the shapes as they have been since the dawn of human remembering and as they are continuing in becoming today.

JM Hamade caught my attention a while back with his approach to art and spirit engagement and as a fellow practitioner who pays attention to the Mansions and the role of the Moon he is the perfect person to spark off this series of conversations.

Magician and teacher Samuel McCabe joins me to discuss practicing goetia, grimoires, transmission of occult knowledge, bringing ritual into the community, and where when and how spirit practice intersects with many facets of life and lived experience. Samuel is a teacher at Ritualcravt shop and school in Denver in Colorado where he also holds reading groups in exploring magical texts as well as leads the community in regular rituals.

We go over Augusts transits and configurations which enjoy an eclipse free lunation and an abundance of planets in fire signs then even more in earth signs by the end. Mercury is newly direct, planets are squaring Uranus, Venus conjoins the Sun, everything in Leo is trine to Jupiter in Sagittarius. Things could not be more different from June and July. A lot to be excited about, and perhaps downright manic.

Astrologer Gray Crawford joins me to discuss planets in fall and how we might think about them and where we might look to find stories that help us in better understanding their condition. We dive into Apuleius' hilarious masterwork 'The Golden Ass' within which the Psyche and Eros myth is embedded, and talk our way through mystery traditions, initiatory experiences, magical procedures, the underworld, the celebration of life, bestiality, JK Huysmans, Jack Parsons, the Daimon, fate, fortune, and much more.

Herbalist Suzanne Stone of Moon Of Hyldemoer Herbals joins us to discuss her suggested plant allies for July 2019's astrology: Purple Loosestrife, Oxeye Daisy and St. Joan's/John's Wort. We hit on medicinal, magical, astrological, folkloric and cultural points of the plants while navigating the current transits. NOTE: I was attempting to record this in a live webinar format and it being Mercury's RX station conjunct Mars and squaring Uranus between the eclipses the audio came out terrible, with volume spikes and drops, cut outs and background noise that was impossible to remove. The talk is still worth it and listenable for those who dare!

Suzanne suggests a few titles on the topic of so-called "invasive species" :
The New Wild by Fred Pearce
Beyond The War On Invasive Species by Tao Orion
Invasive Plant Medicine by Timothy Lee Scott

July 2019 Astrological forecast where we discuss this summer's eclipses in the Cancer Capricorn axis, oppositions to Saturn and Pluto, Mercury's retrograde in Leo then Cancer, Mars, the Sun, Mercury and Venus' ingress into Leo and trine with Jupiter in Sagittarius, aspects to Uranus in Taurus and more.

Diana Rose, card reader, diviner, astrologer, massage therapist and energy worker joins me to discuss what is divination, why we use it, why its helpful, what it does, how it might work. We talk tarot history, tarot future in the face of upcoming astrological and technological shifts, working with story in the cards and seeing life as storylines, not lying to ourselves, the importance of the imaginal, and how we pose ourselves to assemble and disassemble meaning from our own language postures and much more.

St. John's Newfoundland astrologer Elodie St-Onge-Aubut a.k.a. Elodie Miaow discusses living rural as an astrologer and astrological language and worldview. We talk about seeing astrology in the entirety of the natural world around you and how that's different from seeing effects or influences of transits in people's behavior and media synchronicities, the digital age and access to virtual community from far flung places, the inherent magic of lunar and planetary cycles, the art and practice of writing forecasts and much more. Enjoy.

We discuss June's action packed aspects and what they might mean for you, how to best navigate and hopefully get something useful from them and keep on track as we go down the brutally bumpy road of toward Summer Solstice listening to motivational soundtracks and taking in inspiring vistas along the way. This month's soundtrack was composed by the supergroup Cream Candles.

Maralie Armstrong-Rial joins us to discuss this era's particular astrology and what that might mean for virtual space, multiple realities, and digital drugs. You may know Maralie from the music, movement, sound and light duo Human Beast or performing and recording as Valise. We touch upon Uranus in Taurus and then in Gemini, the drug consumption habits of the Neptune in Aquarius generation, generational astrology in contemporary times generally, the transition from Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions from occurring in earth signs to air signs, and passed precedents that might reveal what kinds of trends extend into our unknown future; considering digital drugs, brain training games, multiplicity as a paradigm, the dissolve of binaries and dualism, morality coding, haunted AI, and the very real possibility of speaking to the dead through computers.

Maralie can be found here:

We reference the work of Dr. Adam Gazzaley who's projects can be seen here:
