Where is the realm of Hecate?  In the liminal spaces, the place where the imagination and the material world meet. So says Robert Allen, author of the forthcoming book "Imago," about what's really going in the magician's mission of astral projection. Weaving together strands from his background in painting, Ceremonial Magic, German Tanz Theatre, physical theater, phenomenology and the philosophy of images, Amanda and Robert discuss the relationship between art and magic, and how the imagination really can change the world. The images of the tarot are bottomless pools into the void, offering us opportunities to travel between the worlds. We're especially thrilled to share this episode with you because Robert Allen is one of Amanda's dearest teachers, she's been studying with him for years and is so excited to share his work with you.To join Amanda's MYSTERY CULT on Substack click here.Listen to Carolyn's podcast with Beth Pickens Mind Your Practice, and join their Homework Club. Enroll in our new workshop: QUEEN OF CUPS, SONG OF THE SIREN: Chants, Prayers, and Invocations. **********************************FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST ROBERT ALLENRobert H.

Growing up as a queer kid on the small, conservative Greek island of Cyprus, George Lizos realized that he had to choose between trying (and failing) to fit into unjust social standards, or to focus on becoming more authentically himself. Choosing the latter, he eventually became a pagan priest, and devoted his life to learning protection magick - a technique for taking our lives back from dominant ideologies and living into our authentic selves.Join us on today’s episode of Between the Worlds, where George teaches us how to overcome fear of judgement, imposter syndrome, and people pleasing with his 7 Step Formula for energetic protection. We discuss energetic cords, psychic daggers (and how to remove them), digital amulets and talismans and how to protect your energy on social media (!!).George Lizos is a spiritual teacher, psychic healer, the host of The Lit Up Lightworker Podcast, and the #1 bestselling author of Be The Guru, Lightworkers Gotta Work, and Protect Your Light.
