NAMELESS — Episode 01516 Mar59 min

<p>The 15th episode of NAMELESS, which is usually a monthly Patreon exclusive podcast series, but as this will be the last episode for a few months, I thought I’d share it here with all you good people. For those who don&#39;t know: Darragh is host of <a href="https://www.patreon.com/spiritbox" target="_blank"><u>The Spirit Box podcast</u></a> and author of the book <a href="https://amzn.to/4jtJTYr" target="_blank"><u>“Song of the Dark Man”</u></a> and Tommie is the man behind <a href="http://www.adventuresinwoowoo.com/" target="_blank"><u>Adventures in Woo Woo</u></a> &amp; <a href="https://www.adventuresinwoowoo.com/thefortyservants/" target="_blank"><u>The Forty Servants</u></a>!<br>This will be the last NAMELESS episode for a couple of months as Darragh is taking a break from podcasting.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Agatha Not Agatha</strong><br>Can you talk about how this podcast came about, how it got its name, and favorite/significant moments from episodes past from each of you?</p><p><strong>ECOCLOWN</strong> <br>What are your meditation practices looking like these days? </p><p><strong>Rich</strong><br>People often talk about the &#39;results&#39; of a spell, but rarely talk about any physical toll. Can magickal work cause actual physiological damage or chronic illness? </p><p><strong>BEELEAF</strong><br>How much do the visuals of a ritual matter? If a sigil is ugly or say a servant&#39;s art doesn&#39;t &#39;resonate&#39; with you, is the magick more likely to fail, or is the aesthetic just window dressing? </p><p><strong>Te Wheke Pai</strong> <br>What&#39;s long distance international travel looking like? Do you bring your routine with you, do you try to research the woos of the destination..etc? </p><p><strong>JARJARBONKS</strong><br>Many modern occultists &#39;adopt&#39; deities or practices from cultures they have no ancestral or cultural link to. Where is the point where &#39;eclectic practice&#39; becomes cultural appropriation? And does the spirit actually care about our human politics of lineage? </p><p><strong>CODINA</strong><br>Is &#39;magick always has a price&#39; a genuine occult law, or is it just a piece of Christian baggage? </p><p><strong>ECOCLOWN</strong> <br>And are you guys surprised by any news items this year so far, or like me, just all expected part of the course? </p><p><strong>Tbecket</strong> <br>I&#39;ve been staying current on global news. Are the End Times upon us? <br>And if so, how should we best prepaге? </p><p><strong>SIR PSI</strong><br>Is it possible to perform effective magick without an altered state of consciousness? Can pure, dry intellectual intent ever rival the results of &#39;gnosis&#39; or trance? </p><p><strong>Jon Lenin</strong><br>Is the &#39;Dark Man&#39; of folklore a literal, independent entity roaming the crossroads, or is he a recurring psychological projection of the human collective unconscious? Does it even matter which one he is if the interaction feels the same? </p><p><strong>Four.Fingers</strong><br>is there such a thing as Technomancy&#39; that actually works? Can an algorithm be haunted, or is magick strictly tied to the organic, biological &#39;wyrd&#39; of the earth? </p><p><strong>CRYSTAL DIVA</strong><br>If there was a way to make magick 100% reliable and easy (like an app) would we lose the very thing that makes it transformative? Is the struggle and the &#39;theatre&#39; of ritual actually the part that changes the practitioner? <br><strong>Gin Jones</strong><br>Chaos magic adjacent question-would you or have you ever been tempted to join an organised religion to try out a belief structure? If so, what do you recommend? I want to go to church for the music and vibes-should I ?</p><p><strong>Coda Goldfish</strong><br>What is the most &#39;non-magical&#39; thing you do that actually improves your magic the most?</p><p><br></p><p>_____</p><p><strong>And that&#39;s it for this time, I hope you got something good from it.
