Rejoice! The legendary Aidan Wachter is back on SB! Aidan is a magician and the author of three books, Six Ways, Weaving Fate and Changeling. This show is called ‘it’s solved buy walking after a phrase Aidan used in our conversation. We discuss the impact nature can have on us as we’re working through the often challenging landscape of our lives. We discuss how our engagement and immersion into the landscape of our environment can nourish and bring healing to our internal world. And actually just how simple that process can be.

We get into ones allies guiding writing, how it can be a collaborative process. What it’s like to write three very successful books.

In the plus show we discuss what it's like to be a vehicle for the current. The field as an organism and as magical practitioners we have a function. We also go through how it's unlikely one will remain the same as ‘you once were’ if you develop a magical life and how that change will not always be pretty. It rarely is. We also go into how there is a sense that similar is happening on an international level and how to navigate things when confronted with difficult and the downright awful. It’s good stuff.
