Today I'm joined by Kamden Cornell to chat about their newest book: The Tameless Path: Unleashing the Power of Invasive Plants in Witchcraft. There's so much you can do with the "weeds" in your area, don't dismiss them! They're so useful in your witchcraft practice. We also chat about classes, sourcing items, making oils and potions, and more!

An apothecarist and wortcunner, Kamden S. Cornell has an avid love for plants of all kinds. As a bioregional animist and folk witch, they specialize in using the plants around them for their herbal and magical craft. As a non-binary, gay, queer, the outsider perspective is important to them and they are deeply drawn to invasive species, which have been much maligned and persecuted. That working relationship spurred the creation of The Tameless Path: Unleashing the Power of Invasive Plants in Witchcraft.

Kamden also teaches classes on foraging, survival, and field herbalism in the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, NM, as well as classes on tarot, alchemy, and witchcraft practices. They own a small, witchcraft-based business called Heart &Vine Apothecary that focuses on herbal remedies and ritual goods. They are the author of two self-published works- Ars Granorum: The Six Seed Arts of Witchcraft and On Needles and Pins: A Witches’ Book of Poppetry and Figure Magic. They are also a regular columnist for Noumenia News, the periodical publication released by The Covenant of Hekate.

Today I'm joined by author and clinical psychologist David Shoemaker to chat about Thelema and his newest book, The Way of the Will.



In THE WAY OF THE WILL, David Shoemaker explores how the spiritual discipline of Thelema, founded by Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), can be utilized to enhance your psychological and spiritual growth. The book grew out of the authors own teachings and experiences—podcast episodes, classes, and of course, many years of personal practice and supervision of other initiates. It is a compendium of useful tools and perspectives designed to serve as one of many useful guides in the magician’s library.



David Shoemaker is a clinical psychologist in private practice, specializing in Jungian and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. David is the Chancellor and Prolocutor of the Temple of the Silver Star (totss.org), a Thelemic initiatory and educational organization. He is a long-standing member of O.T.O. and has many years of experience training initiates in these traditions.

With simple explanations, twenty all-new inspiring poems, words of encouragement, magical journaling prompts, and more, this book sweeps away the gatekeeping and offers you the tools needed to begin building a strong, long-lasting practice focused on self-love.
