Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell discuss created entities in this episode. This is a very popular occult topic with many points of view. Created Entities are a preferred method of some Magi while others are afraid of the topic due to bad experiences. The main point of contention is that even an artificial construct can easily develop a sentience of it’s own. We will discuss how to use them without getting burned.

Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell have a discussion on Sigil Magic. Andrieh talks about techniques utilized in his book, Hands on Chaos Magic: Reality Manipulation Through The Ovayki Current. We like Sigil Magic because it is easy to learn and perform, but more complex to master than you may think!

Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell are joined by Donald Tyson to discuss The Demonology of King James I, his research on King James I and a work penned by the former King of England entitled Demonology.
King James I, is one of the most influential people in religious history. He commissioned the King James Bible, the first full English translation of the Christian Scriptures. Written directly by his own hand, Demonology, shows that he believed himself to be an instrument of God. King James believed in a literal Satan and that his mission was to seek out and kill “witches”, who he believed acted directly as Satan’s ministers . He was convinced that they had tried to cast spells to kill him on numerous occasions. King James I, declared all magical practices to be unlawful and of the direct power of Satan; Unlike Queen Elizabeth I, who reigned just before him and believed magic to be a natural ability that she only outlawed in the context of being used for criminal acts. The misconceptions made about magic and occult practices in Demonology, have been a part of Christian thought ever since and the effects are felt in our community to this day.
Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.
Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one’s existence and a way to fulfill it.

Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell are joined by one of Jason’s long time partners in crime, Jason Robinson of the Ohio Exploration Society, to discuss past adventures in both Urban Exploration and Paranormal Investigation!
OES Founder Jason Robinson has always had an interest in the unknown and unexplained. He enjoyed watching television shows like “Unsolved Mysteries,” and later “Sightings,” and enjoyed hearing other people’s stories 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). 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 on his adventures and the Ohio Exploration Society was formed, thus combining Jason’s interest of abandoned locations and history with his interest in the paranormal. Throughout the past 12 years, the OES has often passively, or sometimes actively, investigated the locations they explore.
Founded in the summer of 2000, the OES is a group of urban explorers who visit both well-known historical locations and those forgotten with time. Members of the Ohio Exploration Society research and photograph locations that include everything from abandoned buildings to rural cemeteries to ancient Indian mounds to wonders of nature. They publish their research and photos on the Ohio Exploration Society website in an attempt to preserve the history and the memory of these important sites. Within the website you’ll find videos that were shot on location, 360º interactive panoramic photos, thousands of digital photos and the stories behind the places we’ve visited throughout the years.
In addition to documenting Ohio’s forgotten and historical sites, the Ohio Exploration Society offers paranormal investigations to property owners free of charge. Unlike some paranormal groups (or fan clubs) who emulate what they have seen on paranormal television shows, the OES has developed their own investigative techniques. The team focuses on physical research by using video recorders, digital cameras, audio recorders and other equipment combined with historical research to document paranormal events.

Tamara L. Siuda joins Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell to discuss her work in Khemetic Religion. Tamara is the founder and current head of Kemetic Orthodoxy and the House of Netjer. She is known formally within her faith as Her Holiness, Sekhenet-Ma’at-Ra Setep-en-Ra User Hekatawy I, Nisut-Bity of the Kemetic Orthodox faith and uses the honorific Reverend outside of the faith to indicate her position as clergy. She is also a Mambo in Haitian Vodou.
Siuda graduated from Mundelein College (now part of Loyola University) in Chicago in 1991. She subsequently enrolled in the Egyptology program at the University of Chicago, obtaining a master’s degree in Egyptology with a concentration in Philology in August 2000. She also earned a master’s in December 2007 through the Coptic Studies program at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
Siuda founded the group which would become Kemetic Orthodoxy in 1988 after an experience during a Wiccan initiation ritual in which she is said to have been called by the ancient Egyptian deities to revive their worship. She left Wicca and began study and worship in ancient Egyptian religion with friends and students. In 1993, this group of people had grown substantially, and gained legal recognition as the House of Netjer Kemetic Orthodox Temple. In 1999, the House of Netjer, and the Kemetic Orthodox Faith, were granted 501(c)(3) status.
In October 1996, following what is believed to be divine approval via oracles and ritual, Siuda traveled to Egypt and underwent coronation rituals and assumed the religious title of Nisut, meaning “Authority” or “Incarnation”. In this capacity she is considered to be the mortal carrier of a divine spirit, by way of an aspect of the god Horus, known as the “kingly ka.” In this capacity, Siuda provides spiritual guidance and leadership for members of Kemetic Orthodoxy. Devotees of Kemetic Orthodoxy often refer to Siuda as Hemet, meaning “servant” or “majesty.”
Siuda represents the House of Netjer in the World Interfaith Congress.
