49. Memento Mori w/ Adel Souto & Building an Oracle w/ Loki Lumerian
 Adel Souto, aka Adel 156 https://adelsouto.com/AS.html, joins Luxa for a conversation about his album, Memento Mori, which was produced using human bones as instruments, as well as “throw away poetry” and discovering art as it emerges from one’s environment.  Loki Lumerian also stops in for an episode within the episode to chat about a bibliomancy oracle as well as constructing mazes. There is a bibliomancy mega break as we hear Loki read about the Green Mushroom Project’s 2nd birthday, as well as the latest iteration of the project's 23:Bibliomancy track. Luxa shares about a recently conducted transformative ritual, as well as big changes for The Green Mushroom Project’s operations. Much Love.
