Introduction

In this episode I am joined by Jason Miller, occultist, author, and teacher. Jason discusses how to judge authenticity in the occult, considers the different levels of magickal practitioner in the world today, and whether it is more efficacious to curse your enemies or to pray for them. Jason also reveals the origin and unfolding of his passion for the occult, considers the role of talent in successful spell casting, and recounts his astral awakening. Jason also shares the art of protection magick, gives his advice on occult protection for political candidates, and explains the steps he would take to extend magickal protection for a client if hired to do so. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep235-strategic-sorcery-jason-miller Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast’. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 00:50 - Dilettantes and the spirit of the age 05:03 - Levels of magickal practitioner in the world 08:01 - How to judge authenticity 11:35 - Holding claims to account 15:38 - Results now or over lifetimes? 20:50 - Jason’s passion for the occult 25:53 - Professionalising one’s meditation practice 28:20 - Jason’s priorities 29:34 - A major flaw in today’s meditation teachings 31:52 - Shambala’s marketing campaign 34:01 - Effects of advanced practice on negative emotions 36:46 - Kunzang Dorje’s human failings 38:41 - The origin of Jason’s fascination with magick 39:24 - Visitation experiences 41:08 - Discovering an aptitude for magick 44:04 - Early success with spells 45:20 - Summoning spirits and other early studies 51:09 - Jason’s astral awakening 53:49 - Jason’s father’s psychic experiences 55:49 - The role of natural talent in magick 01:02:44 - Delusions about meditation skill 01:05:08 - The importance of practicing idle time 01:10:23 - Steve’s śamatha practice 01:12:07 - Why do people study magick? 01:18:00 - Feeling the call to be spiritual 01:18:39 - How magic really works 01:22:24 - Wiccans against Trump 01:26:20 - Curse your enemies or pray for them? 01:31:17 - Jason’s advice on magickal protection for political candidates 01:36:38 - What Jason would do if hired to protect a politician 01:41:07 - Isolating the workings from your environment
