DJ Nocturna Presents Queen of Wands DJ Nocturna

- Music
Welcome to my podcast ! This podcast is for anyone and everyone who embodies or wants to embody the energies of the Queen and King of Wands. Quiet and intense, the Queen and King of Wands are the fiery divine counterparts in the tarot deck. Passionate, powerful, spiritual, charismatic, generous, confident, grateful, friendly, outgoing, creative, ambitious, enthusiastic, optimistic and a leader, the Queen of Wands rules the fire element corresponding to the signs of Sagittarius, Aries and Leo in Western Astrology. The Queen of Wands was inspired by Shannon, an intuitive and empath, soul mentor. Like the Queen and King of Wands, we are all connected by energy and in our spiritual journeys, we contribute to each other’s path of evolution and development in some way shape or form. Psychiatrist and author, M. Scott Peck, best defined this connection through LOVE in The Road Less Traveled as “The will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.” Hosted by DJ Nocturna, this show will focus on LOVE and inspiration, as it relates to the world of entertainment and passion. It is the dark creative passionate inspiration that Spanish poet, Federico Garcia Lorca called Duende. In his In Search of Duende, he said, “All that has black sounds has duende.. that mysterious force that everyone feels and no philosopher can explain.” We are motivated to pursue something we love, that yearning of the soul, whether it be in art, literature, music, dance, etc... If we are not passionate about it, then we wouldn’t pursue it. This podcast will feature music, interviews, the arts, fashion, theatre, film, food, wine, drinks and creative projects. This podcast will also feature discussions and interviews relating to the spiritual realm and evolution of the soul that’s both enlightening and entertaining. Thank you for your support and for listening to this podcast !

ECDYSIS, the latest from ZANIAS | My Interview with ALISON LEWIS
Since 2014, Zanias has existed as the unrepentant creative venture of Alison Lewis, born in Australia, raised in Southeast Asia, and also known for her vocal work with Linea Aspera, Keluar and a record shelf’s worth of collaborations with the likes of Black Rain, Ancient Methods, Dax J, I Hate Models and Infravision. As the sole custodian of Fleisch Records she spent many years attuning herself to Berlin dancefloors through the timely collision of techno and electronic body music, but her true passion is for understanding the modality of emotions through songwriting. Sound is her psycho-spiritual catharsis and philosophical exploration of existence, expressed through an intense vocal performance, evocative melodies and heavy rhythmic components. With this signature structure she seeks to reinvent her own brand of ethereal pop: atmospheric, multi-layered and as alien as it is authentically, vulnerably human.
In 2024 Zanias returns with her latest album called Ecdysis, released on Metropolis Records and Fleisch Records. Named after the final stage of emergence from a former self, Ecdysis lays claim to an entirely new electronic soundscape influenced by the ethereal pioneering of Dead Can Dance, Enya and Fever Ray. Zanias's voice morphs deftly between species and gender, exemplifying the oneness of conscious experience evoked by the more extreme psychedelic states, while the atmosphere is heavily influenced by the Queensland rain forest where much of the recording took place, conjuring an environment rich with biodiversity.

Queen of Green Cuisine |Interview with Lillian Cumic, Gourmet Vegan Chef and Cookbook Author
I had a conversation with Lillian Cumic, a gourmet vegan chef, cooking instructor, and cookbook author hailing from Sydney, Australia, who has dedicated over two decades to crafting plant-based recipes. During her three-decade stint in Sendai, Japan, she honed her culinary skills while managing her dining bar as owner/head chef, where she ardently shared her passion for vegan cooking with clients, friends, and colleagues.
Upon relocating to Honolulu in December 2018, Lillian embarked on a journey to spread her love for the vegan lifestyle and plant-based diet. She commenced teaching cooking classes, became the host of “Lillian’s Vegan World” on ThinkTech Hawaii, and founded Lillian Vegan LLC. Her endeavors led to a feature story in the June 2019 edition of CRAVE magazine and the creation of lavish seven-course vegan dining experiences, including the renowned Vegan High Tea.
With nearly 200 plant-based recipe videos on her YouTube channel and Facebook page, Lillian embraces digital platforms to inspire and educate her audience. Her culinary expertise culminated in the release of her debut cookbook, “Hawaii: A Vegan Paradise,” which showcases Hawaiian cuisine with a vegan twist. Following its success, she launched “Tasting Hawaii Vegan Style” in 2021 and unveiled her latest masterpiece, “Hawaii Washoku,” a compilation of plant-based Japanese cuisine, in November 2023. You can fine her monthly column “Secret Garden” in the Star Advertiser’s CRAVE magazine every third Wednesday for plant-based eating and recipes on Oahu. Lillian remains thrilled and humbled to share her extensive culinary journey with the world.

Cutting and Making New Sound by Cauterizing it and Sealing It | Interview with The Caughtery
I had the opportunity to chat with Austin rock duo The Caughtery. Formed in 2020, The Caughtery is long-time Austin music veterans Lisa Tingle and David Gayler, whose contemporary rock output is influenced by musical threads running from the 60s through current. Their 2022 debut EP "The Caughtery" presents a series of “musical paintings”, expressing the pressure and fragility of the human state over the last few years.
In September of 2023, they released "The Rain Song," paying tribute to Led Zeppelin, produced and recorded by David Gayler and mixed by legendary producer Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, Tin Machine, U2, Ozzy Osbourne, HIM, The Mission), who also worked with Robert Plant on his '"Shaken n Stirred" solo album.
"This is one of Led Zeppelin's most beautiful songs. A beautiful ballad legendarily created based on George Harrison's belief and comments to the band members that Led Zeppelin needed to compose more ballads. Mr. Plant and Page apparently took that to heart and created this masterpiece," says Lisa Tingle.
Lisa Tingle has received multiple honors at the Austin Music Awards (Female Vocalist of the Year, Band of the Year, Best Song, Musician of the Year, Album of the Year), and has toured / performed with legends such as Etta James, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Double Trouble, Eric Johnson, Stephen Bruton, Monte Montgomery and Marcia Ball.
David Gayler is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter and studio owner based in Spicewood, Texas. Having moved here from New York in the mid-80s, Gayler has been in various bands over the years, opening for such notable artists as The Romantics, Charlie Sexton and Jerry Jeff Walker, and was also a member of the Party Band during MTVs journey down to Texas in the late 1980s.
What is the Caughtery ?
"Cutting or making new sound but cauterizing it and sealing it as you go along the path." Lisa Tinge
