We discuss the journey through Chapel Perilous that such an undertaking inevitably is, discovering the works of Robert Anton Wilson and the beauty and relevance of his message today.

I'm thrilled to bring you this conversation I had with John as I find his work to be really fascinating and of much more interest to me than the more mainstream servings of entertainment. John works in film, theatre and ritual to create transformative experiences for the audience. His most recent film Lightships won the 2021 best director award at the New York Festival of Cinema and we have a really fascinating conversation about; creativity, alien transmissions and cult cinema. You are going to love it.

John is also known by his shamanic name John Crow and is known to me from attending one of his repatterning workshops and watching him perform some of his poetry at The Find The Others Festival in 2014. He's always been someone I've wanted to invite on the podcast and reading his latest book became the opportunity I'd been waiting for. His story of becoming the custodian of Crossbones Graveyard and his relationship with the Goose and the 23 year magical working and now his move to Glastonbury is amazing. After you've heard the show trust me you'll want to buy the book and I've got to say it's one of the best books on magic I've ever read.

I've been itching to bag Tim for the podcast since the series began and if you've been to an F23 event you'll have been both entertained and bedazzled by a gorilla poetry performance. Whether you have or you haven't it's time for you to meet The Buddhist Punk in all his fine form and glory as we talk ab out how he got his name, writing, creativity and poetry, studying to become bardic druid and appreciating what is like the wind in the trees. I also squeeze a poem out of him.

I had a great conversation with Phil Farber author of Brain Magick and High Magick. Phil is simply excellent in this conversation about magic and magical thinking. We talk about Robert Anton Wilson, Brain Magic, invocation and evocation and communication with universal consciousness, along with much more. I have had some great conversations about magic in 2022 and this one has to be my most favourite of them all so far. Trust me you're in for a treat.

I invited my old friend Tabitha Bast onto the podcast so we could talk about her blog The Boys Are Alright. I subscribe to this and so receive her posts as a newsletter and I am fascinated by her feminist based approach to writing about boys and men and how she facilitates meaningful conversations around the issues man and boys face. She explains in our conversation her motivations for this work and how male issues are in some ways often overlooked. She also works as a relationships counsellor and so also talks about some things that help the lockdown weary with their relationships. Tabitha is a wonderful woman and friend, and I think that the container of our friendship adds a real quality this conversation.

A legend in comic book and magical circles they rose to fame during during the 90's comic book revolution writing some legendary titles that include Doom Patrol and The Invisibles to the modern day working on most mainstream titles at DC. Also Grants work is moving into the arena of television with successful adaptations of Doom Patrol and Happy.

In this episode I talk with Alexis Mincolla singer with industrial group 3Teeth. I invited him on the show to talk sex, drugs and magic having read and loved his contribution to the afterward in the book of the same name. And that is indeed what we talk about and I'm so grateful that he opens up and shares some great wisdom and insight with me. Also though I was pleasantly struck by his warm open and generous spirit and felt an easy and comfortable connection between us, and so I really hope those qualities to shine out of the conversation. A great form of magic for covid times.
