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.”

Jason M. Colwell and Zac Lui welcome Scott Park Phillips to the show, to discuss his work with Chinese martial arts, theater, and Eastern religion.

Scott Park Phillips began training in Chinese martial arts and qigong in 1977 under the guidance of Bing Gong, who was a senior student of Kuo Lien-Ying. Kuo Lien-Ying was one of the first Chinese “internal” martial artists to begin teaching in the United States.  From Bing’s teaching Scott developed a life-long interest and foundation in the Northern Shaolin (Changquan) System, as well as Yiquan and Guan Ping Yang Taijiiquan.  

Bing introduced Scott to George Xu (Xu Guo Ming) in the late 1980s.  Xu is a widely respected practitioner and teacher of Chen-Style Taijiquan, Liuhe Xinyi, Lanshou quan, Baguazhang, and a major force in the preservation and transmission of Chinese traditional martial arts.  Scott formed a relationship with Xu that has spanned more than two decades.

Over the years Scott has studied extensively with Zhang Xue Xin, Ye Xiao Long and Bruce Kumar Frantzis.

Scott’s View with Background

Many martial systems, the Chinese systems in particular, have roots in both contemplative traditions and dance/theatre arts.  Theatre, ritual dance, yogic traditions and martial arts have a primordial relationship, they developed together and continue to inform each other.

As a consequence of this view, Scott has studied and performed in several dance traditions, including the Congolese system taught by Malonga Casquelourd and in the Kathak (Indian Classical) tradition of Chitresh Das.

As for contemplative practice, Scott studied religious Daoism for nine years with Liu Ming, who was the founder of the Five Branches School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and lineage holder in several styles of Daoist meditation.

Finally, in terms of anatomy, physiology and modern movement systems, Scott spent years training with Rebecca Haseltine (Body Mind Centering) and John Ingle (Alexander Technique).
