Episode notes

I don't know if I've ever used theater or any art as a tool for personal development or evolution. Well, what I've used the most before is to help me integrate and process and kind of stomach learned to stomach some of the more difficult experiences that have been thrown my way. This is part of I think the artist temperament and anybody that does this kind of thing. And so my artistic trajectory has pretty much been a series of self reinventions over the years.

In this episode, we chat with underground film maker, professional astrologer, paratheater ritualist, teacher, writer, forest walker, dreamer and no form engineer Antero Alli on Chapel Perilous, paratheater, and the Eight Circuit model.

“Chapel Perilous is a stage in the magickal quest in which your maps turn out to be totally inadequate for the territory, and you’re completely lost. And at that point you get an ally who helps you find your way back to something you can understand. And then after that for the rest of your life you’ve got this question: Was that ally a supernatural helper, or was it just part of my own mind trying to save me from going totally bonkers with this stuff? And the people I know who’ve had that kind of experience, very few of them have come to an absolutely certain conclusion about that.” -Robert Anton Wilson, “Maybe Logic”
