The Marassa and the Buddhas sing within his heart.

Drum recordings include Ritual Drumming (Inner Traditions), Voodoo (Mambito – Best of New Orleans Music Series), tracts for the movie The Skeleton Key (NBC Universal). His studio/band work consists of over 30 albums.

He has received 3 grants from Xavier University to use drum rhythms to teach communication skills to persons with severe/profound handicaps. Louie has spent a year on sabbatical with Thubten Norbu, an elder brother to the 14th Dalai Lama, studying how Tibetans teach kindness. He is an honorary member of the Louisiana State Legislature, perhaps the most dangerous political body on the planet.

Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell welcome Agostino Taumaturgo back to the show to discuss his research and experience with magic in the Catholic Church.

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.

Stephanie Connolly Reisner and Jason M. Colwell welcome Asbjörn Torvol to the show, to discuss the Nordic Left Hand Path.

“My Name is Asbjörn Torvol and I classify myself as a Black Magician or more accurately a magickal scientist and explorer. I believe Magick and the Occult have become overly saturated in stereotypical/fantasy content, to the mysterious dark arts all the way to the love and light kitchen witches. In my time involved with spiritual, magickal and occult communities I have rarely seen any information that touches on the reality of occult magick. Having a deep love for psychology and science I have been able to look at practice with a different eye allowing me to understand its mechanics on a much deeper and solid level. It is my goal to provide more truthful information on magick and how you can begin to use it with better consistency and efficiency. I cut out the fantasy aspect that our community loves to allow into their practice which romanticises practice to a point it becomes ineffective and for some self-destructive. It is my aim to preserve the core essence of magick and manifestation so much so I have put myself to work in providing quality content to provide the community with the tools needed to truly experience real magick. Folks looking for someone to spoon feed you fantasy, will not find much comfort in my work. My main body of work is in Magick as a whole, getting results is where my main focus is. I do however, work solidly in a tradition of Norse Magick (Path of the Vitki) which I have both created and gleamed from the history of the Vikings. This tradition is my greatest feat in magick and I have created a workable system of today in the true spirit of the Norse people.”
