14. The Practice of Poetry with E. A. Toles

Luxa joins Dave, Amy, and Chad from the Unearthing Paranormalcy podcast as well as Flood from Ex V Planis to tell ghost stories, talk about disclosure and lab grown meat and discuss what makes a place haunted. Hosts share local legends and spooky antidotes as well as getting into some of the scarier topics which arose during 2023.  A track from Fuck Around and Find Out pt. 2, The Green Mushroom and We the Hallowed digital mixtape is included, as well as one from Luxa’s new album of ritually produced occult aural erotica, VOID/Machine: Adjustment which will be released at the same time as this episode. Savor the flavor of the last morsel of tentacle poetry from the cryptography contest- it's the Spookier Side of the Mushroom…take a bite! Much Love.  For full show notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSLtM3JlsaKglZjyl5Qdy9QyseQskhqURZTJNtsosjvItHz_9RNigh46cOmrYR9ACtgPPImlSyHhOPx/pub Luxa's work: https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata ⁠ Ex V Planis https://www.exvplanis.com , https://linktr.ee/Exvplanis , https://foldsandfloods.bandcamp.com Unearthing Paranormalcy https://www.unpnormalcy.com/ Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ Check out VOID/Machine: Adjustment by Luxa Strata ft Sally Fourth https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR1OOZ6M-lrYLMRxCzUjELrrh9QDrCwNBDKea9n75f07_oG8RXRctcJV3KOhjNBXuQG00fVZ0qGWq-j/pub Thank you for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

Spoiler: Jonathan differs in interesting ways from other narrators! The episode within the episode features Asher, host of Ad Hoc History podcasthttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adhochistory, to share a story about exploring dilapidated buildings, and the feeling of liminality experienced in places where the past seems to bleed through to the present.

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata speaks with author, Ramon Castellanos https://www.theancestralnow.com/, about the concept of Wildness, and his upcoming book, In Praise of the Wild Spirit. Ramon shares some fascinating perspectives about how we, as modern humans, interact with what he calls the current of domestication and what this force looks like in our lives. He also shares some lessons  he's learned from working with wolves, and how Wildness is an intrinsic quality that captivity does not erase. Luxa also speaks with Flood, host of the Ex V Planis podcast https://exvplanis.com/ for an episode within the episode about what he and his team of paranormal investigators will be exploring this Summer. There are updates about The Green Mushroom project, and news about some fun new thing we’re trying out on the Green Musheen Discord Server as well as some thoughts from our favorite mad scientist / magician, Jack Parsons.
