This is a perfect offering for the holiday season. For me this season is about coming forth from darkness, for celebrating the light within self and others, for giving love to those that give love. There are Others all around us, there is a world unseen to those that have been in amnesia, and, as more people start to awaken to these Others' they start to awaken to Self, the Deaming self. What is it to have a deeper connection to the natural world and the mysteries of something more than us, how contained have we been. . .
This is such a rich conversation and I do hope you enjoy the wonderment of it. Step into the magical world and see what has been there all along.

Dec 16th is the day this realm birthed Philip K. Dick.
This is a remarkable conversation with Tessa. We had an incredible amount of interference recording this and had to do so in two separate sessions a week apart. For those that are in the speakeasy you have already listened to the SeeSaw session that Jake J. Vanek and I did where I was hit by a DEW on air which has been a life changing event (of which I speak about in the livestreams, to a small degree). I believe something big is unfolding and for some of us digging deeper the patterns are starting to surface.
*The chats were recorded on the 5th and the 12th of Nov.

I'm a fan of Travis McHenry's decks and have a few, when I found out he had a new one in the works I went over and joined the campaign. The new deck is all about the misunderstood first wife, and equal to Adam, Lilith (Lilitu)! This was an incredibly cozy chat that I think you shall enjoy. We keep our main focus on Lilith while spiraling round his full body of work and back ground. Travis is a deeply nuanced man with an equally ornate patina of charm, wit, and scholarship; come go with us on this ride into the world of symbolism and the power of magical artes.

As I was editing (ever so lightly as usual) I realized that I spiraled us away from the NDE full story which Gordon has supplemented on his channel. I feel so bad about it and next time we shall make it a focus and really dig into it.
This is a conversation and it is ongoing, hopefully there are going to be many more. Gordon unlocks me in a way where I lose my footing sometimes and go into thoughts, ideas, and open wander/ponders and then we spiral and are somewhere else in the conversation. This is very much 'fly on the wall' material. I do hope you can appreciate this as I feel a bit self-conscious in regard to presenting these kinds of chats that folks may think I'm out of control or too verbose. For folks that are expecting more formality and a clear interview type experience, these natural chats may not be for you.
This is very much a lounged out, late night, wee-hours, kind of chat... best paired with the light of a real flame (fireplace, candle, etc) and a warm cozy blanket.
I do hope you enjoy. <3

Samhain/Halloween when the veil between the worlds is thin and if you are cunning you just may see what lies beyond. In fact, you just may see what lies are keeping you tethered to the construct of "normalcy". This is a warm and hearty chat where we explore the current state of affairs in the craft, paganism, Wicca, and the natural magical pathways therein that are so linked to the idea of the "Witch" in the modern round. This is a casual chat and one I very much enjoyed.

This is a fantastic conversation with our very own Joseph. We chatted for over three hours and it feels like we just got started.
I feel so humbled by the quality of the folks that are here in the Salon Speakeasy (Patreon). When I started this it was my dream to have these conversations and this quality of brilliance in the mix; to have people of varied ideas that are able to respectfully come together and feel comfortable in the company of others that may not share the same views and yet by the nature of the salons' of days gone by, it is always worth the time and always worth the mind expansion, whether deep-woo, high-strange, sorrows, boots-on-the-ground intel, laffs, and whatever else may waft into conversations that swirl round.
Thank you, Joseph, and everyone else that makes this space incredible!

This is a significant chat as we get into the workings of another species that lurks in the shadows, they are not "aliens" from another planet and for those that have been on this journey of deep exploration this may be a gratifying experience that brings in new data regarding these "others" amongst us.

Here we have another incredible chat with Lalita Karoli. This is more than Astrology (as always), however, Lalita takes us into the deep fall as we look at the impending eclipses through the ancient Hellenistic lens. We get into the mythology of what is unfolding and through the celestial dark waters of the Soul, and as the Spirit of triumph shines through, we flesh out a cosmic map to navigate the rising tides yet to come.

This was a very gratifying and deeply intriguing chat with Alobar Jones. As usual with my chats, this is more of a spiral conversation and at times has a very intimate feel as we dive into deeply sensitive ideas and experiences. Alobar brought some validations for me concerning a major astral, and then later psi-viewing (Jake Vanek and I did), I did regarding something living under Vatican City. Astral projection. Non-Locality. Deep intuition. Non-human entities and beings. Observations into these times we are in.

This is such a deep and contemplative conversation that I think everyone will find something of interest and most certainly something to contemplate further. We were all over the board. The Nature of Symbols. The power of Symbols. The effects of Symbols. What is going on. Where are we. What are we. The Polestar. North-pole. Black hole sun. Dreams. And much more.

This is a soul-deep situation -- Bees and the realms in which they dwell. There is no song like that of the Bees. There is no life, no light, no sweetness, without our Queen of fertility, she that gifts us something so magical, so mystical, and so life affirming that to lose them would be to lose ourselves.
Farrah King is a natural bee keeper and I found her song serendipitously scrolling through IG, a most un-natural landscape indeed. However, this becomes a gift to those of us that do use these tools in a way that connects us to the outer world of others and in that, we thrive and grow in special ways that beckons in the light of shining stars into a most mystical constellation.
This conjunction is one of learning and for those of you that may not know there are other ways to steward bees, I hope you are as inspired as I am. Come hover in this space with us. [W]Holistic Bee keeping. Natural Bee Keeping. Natural Ways. Blessed Bee.

This is a very fluid conversation that somehow feels as if we were sitting by a fire talking about everything in life. Reality baseline. Trauma and the road to triumph. What is "It". People watching. Cultural clash course dummies. Icebergs. Who are we as a people in the realm. Social decorum and service to others. Bad track suits. Looping.
This file was lost in the mess known as my laptop file system and I was so thrilled to stumble upon it recently. We recored this over a year ago on the 9th of April 2024 -- nothing feels dated which is a testament to a good chat.

This is a journey.
I really admire the element of curiosity in Taylor, he's traveled a long ways on his magical journey and explored so much territory -- this was a very enjoyable conversation. I was saddened to discover that the last 30-40 minutes was/is missing. Also, I apologize for the audio quality as there is a lot of distracting noise. I feel the overall depth and quality of this chat is worth the inconvenience of the audio distractions.
This chat was recored in Sep of 2024 and there is nothing in here that feels dated as we are soul deep and not headline oriented.

This is a wonderful chat with Jasun of Soul_On_Ice. We get into a very contemplative space and traverse the realms of ideas. . . What's going on. Non-Humans. How many are really here in this realm.
