I first met Ingrid Kincaid in 2017 when she visited my Masonic lodge to give a lecture on Yule and ancient Northern European traditions. Her name kept coming up in conversation after that as many of my friends and associates told me I should talk to her about runes. I finally reached out to her and we met in her home to record this podcast episode in the shadow of her giant mounted caribou head. Ingrid Kincaid has been studying the runes for 40 years. She has published two books on the subject. Her expertise is held in such high regard that she is known as the Rune Woman. In this episode, Ingrid and I discuss her unique approach to the runes and to ancestral knowledge. We talk about how she discovered the runes, what wisdom they have brought her, and how her ongoing work with them has changed and influenced the world around her.

Coleman Stevenson of the Dark Exact joined me at the Rose City Book Pub for a live podcast recording, and it was great! We filled up the venue and more than forty people were in the audience. We talk about Tarot, art, the process of creation, creativity, cats, and all kinds of great stuff. The Q&A session with the audience was particularly invigorating. Recording and sound was done by my very talented brother, Nick Arneson. Go check out his music!

This episode, I'm joined by Scott Stenwick. Scott has been practicing ritual and ceremonial magic for more than thirty years. He has published two books on the subject of Enochian magic and is a longtime Ordo Templi Orientis initiate. He has maintained a blog since 2006 on which he has published many of the so-called secrets of modern ceremonial magic in the interests of free and open inquiry. In addition to his Enochian series, he has written several works of paranormal fiction and contributed anthology articles on various magical topics. As you can imagine, our conversation gets into some great stuff, including models of consciousness, the role of ritual, operant fields, and then also a lot of Enochian. It's a wild ride!

Welcome to the first Arnemancy Podcast solo show! In this episode, I talk about how to use Giordano Bruno's table method to memorize the Tarot's Minor Arcana pip cards. This mnemonic method can be a very effective method for not only recalling card meanings, but to understand the relationships between the cards.Here are some of my past blog posts about Tarot and the Art of Memory:The Tarot Memory DeckLearning Tarot with the Art of MemoryRead More about Tarot and the Art of MemoryGiordano Bruno’s Art of MemoryLearn more about my first live podcast recording on Friday, September 13th, with Coleman Stevenson of the Dark Exact!Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arnemancyListen on PodcryptMentioned in this episode:Two Classes in January!"Freemasonry and the Occult" will be on January 26th, both online and in-person in Portland, Oregon.
