Lux Occult

Sophie Saint Thomas, author of Sex Witch, Glamour Witch, and other titles, joins Luxa to discuss the topic of Glamour Magick and how it might be thought of in a much more broad context than what might immediately spring to mind. Sophie speaks on how the concepts of glamour and magick have always been intertwined, and how the idea of going back to the “good old days” might mean something very different than what people who tend to use the phrase usually mean! Also discussed is the topic of Sex Magick, and possible ways to overcome hurdles to approaching the practice when one feels more like a “warrior” than a “lover”. There is an episode within the episode featuring Menw from the Woodlands Show podcast in which he shares some thoughts and ideas about “manly glamour”, using AI image generation for glamour magick and much more. There are also updates about The Green Mushroom Project and musings about how new technologies, like GMOs, are applied. Much Love.
