Lux Occult

Join Luxa for this special one-year anniversary edition of the show as she speaks with her brother, Asher (host of Ad Hoc History), in a conversation about dreams and how they can be useful to us in our waking lives and our magical practices. Asher shares his experiences as a prolific dreamer and the pair talk about Jungian dream analysis. Also making an appearance are Decartes and Ramanujan. What is the purpose of dreaming? How have people’s dreams played an important part in the events of history? What can you learn from your dreams? These questions, and more, are addressed! Also featuring new music by Matt Marble, and a message at the end of the episode about a Sound Sigil track for The Green Mushroom’s first birthday that you can contribute to, as well as a sample of what Luxa has mixed for the track thus far. Thanks for an amazing year! Much Love. Thank you for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

Note: This version does not contain the introduction and discussion of the exercise. A version with the introduction as well as the meditation will also be available for convenience. This meditation was written by The Green Mushroom Council member S Shane Thomas with Narration by Dave Ardrey, Amy Ardrey & Chad, and Production and Sound Design by Luxa Strata. S Shane Thomas blogs about discovering and learning magic at https://buildingthephilosophersstone.wordpress.com. This meditation is intended to guide you through the positive and negative traits of the thinking, feeling, intuitive, and sensory parts of the self. It can be used for personal reflection and growth, acquainting yourself with the four esoteric directions, and learning not to be a dick. Shane’s experience with Franz Bardon’s Black Mirror and White Mirror exercise in Initiation Into Hermetics and his practical work in the first two Apprentice modules of Quareia.com, a free self study school of magic in the Western Esoteric tradition, have inspired this writing. Much Love to everyone who has been participating in the project, however that looks in your individual practice.
