    Remembering the Magical in the Mundane

    Welcome back Nightbirds! One this episode, I'm joined by co-host Lindsay Starke to discuss the importance of grounding our practice in the reality and importance of our material experience, We talk about this important medicine for the age of air in the context of doomsayers, magical grifters, pessimistic thinkers, and more. We discussed aligning oneself with one's goals in the way we think, and the magic we participate in. We talked about practical applications for what this looks like in our lives using examples from our own experience. We talked about the dangers of quick "hacks" that eschew doing the real work, individualist thinking vs. community, the metaphysics of abundance in a Marxist contest, and so much more!

    Grasping the Runes with Lindsay Starke and David Payne

    Welcome back Nightbirds! On this episode I was joined by Lindsay Starke and David Payne for a roundtable discussion about runes. We talked working with the runes through dreaming, journeying, runic magic, and more. We talked about the differences between divination with runes and other forms of divination. We gave some rune book recommendations, and talked about our own relationships to these powerful symbols in our own work. Finally, we each pulled a rune and discussed each one separately, as well as doing a reading with those three runes. This was a great time, and I hope you enjoy listening!

  • Wizards of Fitness with Lindsay Starke

    Wizards of Fitness with Lindsay Starke

    Welcome back Nightbirds! This week I was rejoined by Lindsay Starke. Lindsay and I decided that, since we always end up talking about working out anyway, we'd do a whole episode about it. And it's great timing, since Lindsay is also embarking on the journey of becoming a personal trainer integrating techniques of astrology, magical timing, as well as an understanding of the energetic and ancestral currents in which we exist as bodies in order to optimize physical and spiritual gains. If this is something that sounds interesting to you, you'll love this conversation. Thanks for listening, and enjoy the show.
