    Hadean Press Podcast #33 - She of the Night - Idlu Lili Regulus

    Welcome to our first podcast of 2026. The Hadean team is very happy to announce that we will be expanding our interviews to include authors we have found to be especially important to the exploration of Folklore, Grimoires and the Underworld, especially for practitioners of magic as well as those curious about its long history. In this month’s podcast we are very happy to introduce my friend and fellow practitioner, Lili Regulus and their monumental two-volume exploration of one of sorcery’s most notoriously chthonic and untamed forces, Lilith, her history in context and the many threads of culture, religion and magic which have woven together to usher her into the 21st century. ‘She of the Night’, was released last year and is a tour de force of knowledge and spellcraft conjured into being by Lili Regulus and put out into the World by the excellent folks at Theion Publishing. In this episode we discuss the origins of Lilith, the magica materia of the Hoopoe and Hyena, the qualities of Light-Fleeing Spirits, the Lady of the Mountains, the Seven Winds, the enigmatic Four Queens and the nature of the Untamed Feminine. You can find Lili’s book through Theion Publishing here: https://theionpublishing.com/shop/ilr_she_of_the_night/ And you can find more from them through their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/idlulili/ Please check out the Occult Library for reviews and details on books you might be curious about. https://www.occultlibrary.org/books-database/she-of-the-night

    Hadean Press Podcast #31 - Learning from Legendary Practicioners - Kadmus

    Welcome listeners to the Sagittarian fires of 2025, in today’s episode we are delighted to present Kadmus for the second time on the show. Kadmus has developed many of his earlier ideas from his essay, ‘Every Nekuomanteia is a Katabasis’ into perhaps one of the single greatest texts on the subject of Necromancy I have ever read. This book is not simply a how-to manual, but instead a deep exploration of the subject and dramatis personae of epistemic evocation, or ‘Learning from Legendary Practitioners’. Kadmus is a teacher and author, focusing on philosophy, myth, politics and the multivalence of Pagan thought. Today we discuss a huge range of subjects concerning necromancy, the myths of Circe, Medea, and the hermaphrodite Tiresias, Pre-Mycenaean oral mythology, how to build report with the shades of the Dead and much more. You can find Learning from Legendary Practitioners at: https://hadean.press/products/learnin...

    This month we welcome back both Brian Johnson and Alexander Cummins who come to us today as a wonderful necromantic team to elucidate their most recent contribution, ‘The Black Raven - A Study in the Folk Necromancy of Early Modern Germany’, a translation of a fantastically practical grimoiric manual of Faustian ghost laying and treasure hunting. In this episode we discuss the origins and influences of this manuscript, its modularity and the nature of the larger ecology of spirit which surrounds it and its related texts. We explore the nature of the Stammgeist as a local haunting spirit, the manner in which people would interact with buried treasures, earth-spirits, paper circles, and the practical necessities of working this form of folk necromancy.
