    Bigfoot is My Witchfather with Robyn Valentine

    Further evidence of just how small a world it is: nestled here in my tiny rural valley, amongst the deer, the evergreen forests, and the bucolic mountain streams, is not just one Occult Podcaster, but two. Today I'm thrilled to sit down with that other Occult Podcaster in my yard with some tea, and share our chat with you. Robyn Valentine is a writer, teacher, "witchfluencer" (whether she likes it or not), and one of the hosts of the delightful Coffee & Cauldrons podcast. We talk about the moment witchcraft went from being a hobby to a practice for her, the trials and tribulations of giving tarot readings for a living, the role of the Witch in the dying process, and we discuss future plans to summon Bigfoot.  SHOW NOTES: Robyn's upcoming Tarot course Robyn's Website: tiredwitch.com Coffee & Cauldrons Podcast Order Robyn's Books @atiredwitch on IG

    Homesick for the Otherworld with Malachas Ivernus

    I'm thrilled to share my recent chat with Malachas Ivernus. Malachas is an excellent Irish Poet, writer of magical fiction, and frequenter (if not an orphan) of the Otherworld. We explore the creativity inherent to operative magic, the spiritual gauntlet of initiation, and the dance of divine inspiration. If you haven't, you must check out Malachas' wonderful work over on Substack under: The Hollow Behind the Hearthstone.  SHOW NOTES: Malachas' Substack: The Hollow Behind the Hearthstone The Best thing Malachas has ever done: O Beautiful Ungovernable World Malachas' YouTube Channel: MalachasIvernus Malachas' Occult Thriller: Unreal City Malachas' Website: thehollowbehindthehearthstone.com Malachas on IG: @the_hedge_school

    The Inverted Path with Joshua Cutchin - featuring Celeste Mott!

    This episode is a little different in all the best kinds of ways. I'm so happy to welcome back the delightful Joshua Cutchin to the show to chat about his fantastic new book, The Inverted Path. We go deep into the bizarre pan-paranormal phenomena we more colloquially call being "pixie-led," and its surprising manifestations from faerie folklore, to cryptid encounters, and UAP experiences. I also couldn't resist bringing back a previous guest, Celeste Mott, to join me for the Patreon portion of the chat, since I know Josh's work on so-called "fictional incursions" has been living rent-free in her head for a while now. To hear the full bonus portion of that conversation, you can join our Radical Elphame Patreon or Celeste's The Moth-Ur House Patreon.  SHOW NOTES: Josh's Website: joshuacutchin.com Get Josh's new book: The Inverted Path Josh's IG: w3eirdwayz Celeste's Site: celestemott.com Celeste's Substack: TheMothsMissives Celeste's Patreon: TheMoth-UrHouse Celeste on TikTok: @CelesteMoth Celeste on IG: @celestemott Celeste on YouTube: c/celestemott

    "What came first...the Serpent or the egg?" with Dave Stone

    I'm thrilled to share this chat I recently had with the animist stone carver and author Dave Stone. We talk about his latest books, Dragons of the Deep and Faeries of the Celtic Realms, as well as the value of an animist ontology when crafting art with a medium from the landscape. In our bonus Patreon conversation, we explore the "Well of Segais" myth as a possible Gaelic creation story, and a gnostic consideration of the role of the well maidens in pan-Celtic lore.  SHOW NOTES:   Dave's Carvings: StoneMadCrafts Dragons of the Deep: Moon Books Faeries of the Celtic Realms: B&N Dave's Substack: Eternal Echoes Dave's IG: @stonemadcrafts

    The Weirdward Shift with Mana Aelin

    We are living in weird times. We can see the weirdening all around us. In our politics, in our ethics, in our communities, in our personal lives. This observation could lead me down the path of lofty rhetoric about how we navigate some of the darker implications of this weirdening we find ourselves in. Right now, though, I just want to point out some of the positive–or at least amusing–effects of this shift weirdward. I find myself amazed on an almost weekly basis by how much easier it is to talk to almost anyone about the kind of weird shit that I used to have to preface with a litany of qualifiers. Not only is the UFO Disclosure crowd talking about faeries, and demonologists talking about tulpas, and witches talking about hyperstition, but the guy I met at a children's birthday party not only wants to talk about his UFO sighting, but also is curious if I think the phenomenon is related to consciousness. A sommelier I met on a work trip, after an evening of bar hopping, casually mentioned the spirit guide he believes he has regular communication with, and goes to for advice. My Mother-in-Law randomly mentions, for the first time, that her relative in the Navy told her when she was a kid that he saw ships flying out of the Ocean and disappearing into the sky. My normie friends are experimenting more with psychedelics, astrology and Human Design is now acceptable icebreaker material in certain circles, and the somatic therapy I keep hearing about from my friends sounds a lot like techniques I would have previously lumped in with the occult. If I look back just a few years, say to 2020, this wasn't my everyday reality. I know this was the case because that's when I first heard Mana Aelin's podcast, The Real Witches of the End Times. This was far from the first paranormal or occult podcast I had heard, but there was something incredibly unique about it. Mana didn't present herself as an expert, didn't lean into a spooky or empowering vibe template, and didn't consider these subjects from the armchair or at a remove. She put out a show where people who seemed down-to-earth could talk casually about their–for the time–very weird experiences and beliefs as though they were completely normal. As a practitioner with a lack of community, I quickly fell in love with her show, and it was definitely a big inspiration for Radical Elphame. Now, though, living through this weirdward shift, I can't help but wonder if this is all Mana's manifestation, and we're just living in it.  SHOW NOTES Mana's Website: Mothmana.com Mana's IG: @mothmanatarot Mana's Podcast: Real Witches of the End Times

    Blowing Your Life Up with Magic with Janie Roberts

    There's a common phrase in Occult circles that often precedes a cautionary tale: "blowing your life up with magic." The story goes something like this: a burgeoning magician, fresh off the armchair, skips a few steps or bites off more than they can chew. Sometimes this neophyte is drawn to a dark current that they aren't prepared for, or catfished by a parasitic entity. What tends to unfold is the practitioner's life unraveling, and often poorly applied magical remedies just dig them deeper into a hole. It's a common enough story that I find it fascinating, and would be lying if I said I didn't have some experiences that might qualify. On the one hand, this trope is plucked straight from the ancient tale "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and can serve the common fairy-tale function of reinforcing the exoteric societal taboo that magic and the occult are not to be messed with. More interesting to me, though, is when blowing up your life with magic can be conceived of as an initiatory experience. When the spirits or the powers that be may be taking apart your life to build it back better. Is there a way to transition from a disenchanted world to one teeming with magic without undergoing a radical change? I'm so excited to explore this question today with the delightful Janie Roberts.  Before that conversation, though, I just want to throw out a quick plug for the Radical Elphame Patreon page. There you will find extended interviews, exclusive essays, a private Discord server, and an entirely Patreon-exclusive podcast that I do with my friend Chaise Levy called The Imbas Transmissions. I've also got a free Substack that I'm particularly proud of, called The Foliate Head, where I have the opportunity to expand on the subjects we explore on this show through a different medium. Over on Substack, I've just released the sixth part of my ongoing essay series on the various theories surrounding the nature of faeries, which explores the relationship between faeries, time travel, and Pulp Fiction. If you like this show, I know you'll love this series. Without further ado, here's my chat with Janie Roberts.
