    Episode 96: Frater Alloy Discusses The Cthulhuian Mythos

    Tuesday March. 26, 2013 Live 8pm EST on www.para-x.com

    Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell welcome Frater Alloy to have a discussion on his work with the Cthulhuian Mythos.

    Frater Alloy, a former Section Head of the Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT) in North America who has taught numerous classes pertaining to Lovecraft, Chaos Magic and wherever the twain shall meet. Alloy is still a very active member of the IOT and has worked with that organization both locally and abroad. Like his literary hero, he was born in Providence, Rhode Island and spends the vast majority of his time mining morbid media for ritually significant morsels.

    He addresses the problems of contemporary Mythos magic and seeks to cooperatively revitalize it as a primary expression of the Chaos Magic current. It also seeks to create an authentic entry point into the Mythos paradigm without overwhelming the new student or otherwise falling victim to the pitfalls of over-generalization. The Great Old Ones are beings defined by their incomprehensibility as “known unknowns”. Much like the Taoists warn “That which can be named is not the eternal name” and in this case, even more so. Expressing the deepest primordial forces within cosmic experience, Lovecraft did not so much create the Great Old Ones as name them. Through these non-religious god forms we seek to penetrate the veil of morality and reason and enter a pre-human world of formless splendor and anarchy.

    Episode 93: Sorcery and the Master with Guest Robin Artisson

    Tuesday March. 5, 2013 Live 8pm EST on www.para-x.com

    Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell welcome Robin Artisson to the show!

    Robin Artisson has been studying folklore and supernaturalism and practicing sorcery– in the true historical meaning of the word- for 19 years now, which is far longer than most people said he’d survive. He’s from South Louisiana, of Bernician (Anglo-Pictish) heritage, but also of Irish, Cajun and Sicilian descent. He grew up in the shadow of the last home of active and accepted supernaturalism in the United States: New Orleans, and the entire hairy, scary regions far south.

    Robin is an herbalist, a devoted deep ecologist and animist, and a skilled practitioner of trance-healing and divination. By this, we mean to say that Robin spends a good deal of time inducing altered states of consciousness whereby he may interact with extra-sensory reality for the purposes of finding guidance for himself or others, or for healing purposes. He performs these works as an Owl-Doctor or Witch, informed by the fund of Provenance and Traditional lore from our common past.

    Robin is a learned holistic healer, augurist, reader of omens, and a skilled dream interpreter. He is passionately in love with chess, very dark ale, religious philosophy and debate, historical re-enactment activities, occult studies, historical books and research, systems theory, the Robin of Sherwood BBC series (that is not the source of his name, however) and writing. He is a father and husband, and a student of life.

    Robin holds a BA in European History/Anthropology, an MA in Criminal Justice and Policy Science, and an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy. He currently works in the field of Trouble and Pernicious Mischief, all alongside his writing, of course. He has written (currently) five books and countless articles online and in various publications. Chances are, if you’ve hung around the “pagan” internet, (such that it is) you’ve heard of him.

    Episode 90: Andrieh and Jason Discuss Space and Time Magic

    Tuesday Feb. 5, 2013 Live 8pm EST on www.para-x.com

    Come and Join Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell as they sit discuss manipulating the boundaries of space and time. This episode we dare to challenge what even the majority of Magicians and Occultists believe to be possible. What if you could talk to a version of yourself that took a different path at a past critical moment of your life? What could you learn from a self who invested in years of study different from your own? What kinds of theories back up a belief that you could have a tangible effect magically upon someone who is not in the same physical location as you? Is it really possible to bend time to your advantage or is it just all mental games?
