The Fenris Wolf Podcast, episode 1 with Carl Abrahamsson
The first episode of The Fenris Wolf Podcast, hosted by bestselling author Carl Abrahamsson (editor of the The Fenris Wolf journal), explores the themes of occulture, magical thinking, and magico-anthropology. Abrahamsson discusses his long-running publication, The Fenris Wolf, which began as a fanzine in 1989 and has evolved into an eclectic anthology that examines the intersection of history, mythology, and contemporary issues.
He introduces the concept of "Occulturation," where ideas and expressions transition from hidden to visible spheres, reflecting a collective awakening to societal challenges. The Fenris Wolf, as a mythological symbol, represents the necessary destruction of outdated cultural paradigms to allow for the emergence of new, healthier systems.
Abrahamsson emphasizes the importance of embracing alternative perspectives, particularly in the face of existential threats such as climate change and social unrest. He argues that occulture and magical thinking can provide transformative insights and resilience, encouraging individuals to recognize their role as co-creators of reality.
The podcast also addresses the limitations of academic frameworks, which may stifle the exploration of spiritual and mystical knowledge, advocating for a more open-minded approach to understanding human experience. Abrahamsson concludes by inviting listeners to engage with the Fenris Wolf community through a newsletter and mentorship opportunities, promoting ongoing dialogue around these vital themes.

Majd H. Sayed is a Palestinian psychotherapist and astrologer. They were born and raised in the West Bank, and are currently residing as a settler in Tkaronto in so-called Canada.

J.M. Hamade (starnightdwell) (they/them) is an author, researcher/scholar, artist, and educator based in New York City. Their work bridges contemporary creative modalities with archaic forms of knowing. The investigation and experimental application of talismanic art forms is at the forefront of their work, as well as a research and practice focus in the fields of lunar+stellar lore, non-European astrologies, Islamic esotericism, Afro-diaspora traditions, and the dæmonic imagination. Their new book is Procession of the Night Theatre: An Exposition on the Lunar Stations from Revelore Press. https://amzn.to/3O23JM3
