    Episode 142: Shani Oates Discusses Crafting The Arte Of Tradition

    Broadcast Tue. June. 28, 2016 8PM EST on Para-X-Radio.com

    Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell welcome Shani Oates: Maid of the ‘People of Goda, of Clan of TubalCain’ to the show, to discuss her book Crafting The Arte Of Tradition.

    Shani Oates, in her own words:

    From the Moorlands (UK) I am able to devote my time to a ‘lived’ tradition which informs and is informed in turn by those devotions. My world, infused with ancestral lore and history finds expression within a Faith that continues to inspire my journey as a mystic, and pilgrim.

    Manifest through all works, my enquiries are given life through the written word in prose and verse, through visionary sketches, photography and therapeutic holism.  Enriched by other complementary gnostic and Craft ordinations and initiations, my life-long study and research of theology, philosophy and anthropology has deepened my engagement through their Mysteries proper.

    These disciplines have sourced my lectures at moots and Esoteric Conferences, serving further my role and duty as the current Maid of the ‘People of Goda, of Clan of TubalCain’

  • Episode 140: Father Jason Spadafore Discusses Catholic Exorcism

    Episode 140: Father Jason Spadafore Discusses Catholic Exorcism

    Tue. May 31, 2016 8PM EST on Para-X.com

    Jason M. Colwell welcomes Father Jason Spadafore to the show to discuss his research and experience with Exorcism as a Catholic Priest.

    Jason Spadafore (alias Agostino Taumaturgo) has been a student of Christian spirituality and magic for almost 30 years, specializing in theology and orthodox methods of manifestation. His father was a metaphysics teacher, and Jason learned much from him.

    In addition to growing up around spirituality, Jason was ordained a traditionalist Roman Catholic priest in 2002, where he served in the Latin-Rite Catholic Community under Bishop Anthony Farr, and in 2007 was consecrated a bishop by Patrick Taylor of the Society of the Virgin Mary. After 13 years in the priesthood, in 2015 Jason returned to the magical community because exoteric ministry just isn’t his cup of tea.

    Jason now writes, teaches, and lectures on spirituality, magic, and manifestation within a Christian paradigm, and is available for workshops, speaking engagements and one-on-one coaching. He can be reached at agostino@thavmapub.com.

    When off-duty, Jason lives in Dayton, Ohio, with his cats Melainos and Gray Lady.

  • Episode 139: Real Ghost Stories With The Ohio Exploration Society

    Episode 139: Real Ghost Stories With The Ohio Exploration Society

    Tue. May 17, 2016 8PM EST on Para-X.com

    Ohio Exploration Society Founder Jason Robinson has always had an interest in the unknown and unexplained. Growing up, he often wondered about off-limits areas he saw in his neighborhood. An abandoned school the next block over and a gated stairway near a railroad overpass intrigued him, and he often day-dreamed of what was behind those locked doors. Jason enjoyed watching television shows like “Unsolved Mysteries” and later “Sightings,” and enjoyed hearing other people’s tales about the strange things they had experienced. It wasn’t until Jason was attending college at Denison University in 1998-99 that his interest in the paranormal was further solidified when he had his first personal encounter with the paranormal…an unseen hand that touched his shoulder one night as he typed a paper in his dorm room.      

    In the spring of 2000, Jason purchased his first digital camera, a simple 1-megapixel point and shoot…a pretty nice camera at the time. Jason wondered how he could put his camera to use beyond taking photos at family outings. That is when he discovered an emerging hobby known as urban exploration. Jason decided to check out a few abandoned graveyards and old buildings, taking photos along the way. A few of his close friends decided to join him during his adventures and the Ohio Exploration Society was formed, thus combining Jason’s interest of abandoned locations with his interest in the paranormal. Throughout the past 16 years, the OES has often passively, or sometimes actively, investigated the locations they explore. Jason has appeared on SyFy’s Haunted Highway, several radio shows and podcasts, news broadcasts, and numerous newspapers, magazines and books, discussing his encounters with both the paranormal and Ohio’s forgotten history.

    Matt Stilwell is the Vice President of the Ohio Exploration Society.  He has been involved in Urban Exploration and Paranormal Investigation for approximately 20 years.  He currently resides in Ohio and is employed as a lead for an automation and logistics company.
