Join Luxa for a very fun start to season 2 as she is joined by Frater Drednought from the Faith Blind Council Podcast https://www.faithblindpodcast.com/ to talk about Magick, Games, and Hypersigils. How can we use tabletop RPGs and video games for magical purposes, and what elements of these games might we employ in our everyday lives towards magical means? What can we learn from the characters we chose to play, and how is gaming in a magical context different than in a non-magical one? Topics covered include magical game design, using games for ego-magick, hypersigils, and much more, and why the Dungeons and Dragons player’s handbook was Dreadnought’s first grimoire. They also break the rules and talk about Fight Club... Luxa sits down during a break for a short chat with Matt from ChaosTarot.com about a new update to the trinary web app https://www.chaostarot.com/app/ and about how games have influenced him on his magical journey.

Note: This version contains an introduction and discussion of the exercise. A version with just the meditation will also be available for convenience. This meditation was written by The Green Mushroom Council member S Shane Thomas with Narration by Dave Ardrey, Amy Ardrey & Chad, and Production and Sound Design by Luxa Strata.  S Shane Thomas blogs about discovering and learning magic at https://buildingthephilosophersstone.wordpress.com.  This meditation is intended to guide you through the positive and negative traits of the thinking, feeling, intuitive, and sensory parts of the self. It can be used for personal reflection and growth, acquainting yourself with the four esoteric directions, and learning not to be a dick. Shane’s experience with Franz Bardon’s Black Mirror and White Mirror exercise in Initiation Into Hermetics and his practical work in the first two Apprentice modules of Quareia.com, a free self study school of magic in the Western Esoteric tradition, have inspired this writing. Much Love to everyone who has been participating in the project, however that looks in your individual practice.
