Welcome to Weird Web Radio! Guess who's back! Back Again! AIDAN WACHTER is back! Tell your friends!  Aidan's back! Aidan's back! Aidan's back! Any fan of this show knows by now that Aidan Wachter is not only a common guest on here, but more importantly, Aidan is among those rare friends I count as found family. When he warned me a long while ago that he was going to disappear for a while, I didn't realize it would be total silence for a long time. I know why. It's all good. It was needed. We dig into that for a while in this episode. In fact, we go deep into several subjects which were in part inspired by questions from Patreon members and a special Facebook group built around a community that explores Aidan's published works. This was not only a fun episode. It was also very good conversation with a friend. It was one we decided it was time to hit record. Aidan stuck around for about another hour in the Patreon Bonus Audio portion! We took a real deep dive into devotion vs magic vs religion and more!  Aidan's BIO: Aidan Wachter has been actively involved in magical practice for a really long time. His work reflects a wide-ranging eclectic and non-dogmatic approach with influences from many paths.
