For episode 60 we are joined by the charming Douglas Batchelor, a Magician and host of the wonderful ‘What Magic is This?’ podcast. I hugely enjoyed this show, it was great to chat with Douglas and we really got into his journey into magick and what it has meant to him. We also dug into how the show came about and what the driving goal behind the it is about and the contribution Douglas’s ancestors have made to the direction of the podcast. We discuss the healing and self development aspects of sorcery but most importantly what magic can give to people. In his own words... "...my name is Douglas and I have been doing this whole sorcery and magic thing for 18 years. It’s something that I don’t normally share with people but when I do they become very interested. Either that or they stop talking to me. With luck, this podcast will help spread my enthusiasm for magic and these topics to others, because I think we could all use a bit of magic in our lives. Not only that, but what we call Magic might just be the underlying, unknown stuff that this reality runs on." In the Plus show we talk about Douglas's personal relationships with Anubis and St Cyprian. And we discuss hearing spirit voices and mental health. Enjoy!

Ivo Domínguez Jr, is an author, teacher, and ritualist. In the show we discuss some of his foundational experiences that set him out on his journey. Before getting on to his new book, The four elements of the Wise, an in-depth exploration of the elements, their lore, history, correspondences, and use in spellwork and ritual. The four elements are the pillars that uphold the manifest world and anchor spirit to matter. They are associated with a wide range of spiritual entities, from small elementals to divine beings. This book explores the consciousness of the elements, which provides a system of understanding that supports most of the magic of the West and paganism. In the Plus show we get into some of Ivo’s incredible experiences including a spontaneous possession by Ogun, a student's attempt to summon something a bit above their pay grade and the nature of Spirit communication and the ability of spirits to read the deeper levels of our consciousness.

Aoife Anastasia Nally is an artist, performer, and theatre producer, who for the last few decades has been performing in the West End, London, but is currently based in rural Ontario, Canada. Today we discuss her research into the cursed play ‘The Spancel of Death' penned by her Great Uncle T.H. Nally, Abbey Theatre playwright and personal friend of the great poet WB Yeats. She is also a psychic medium, Seer, trance channel and occasional oracle. The notorious play was interrupted by the Easter Uprising 1916 and subsequently abandoned by WB Yeats eventually giving rise to the belief it was cursed. Not helped in part by the content of the play, for the Spancel that lends its name to the play is nothing less than a necromantic spell of the blackest magick and based on actual events that took place in Balla, County Mayo, Ireland in 1777. In the Plus show Aoife recounts reading WB Yeats personal magical diary and Golden Dawn notebook and her experiences as a trance medium and channel and having a history of gifted and magickal people in one's family or as she puts it ‘family business’. Good stuff indeed.
