Alkistis Dimech and Peter Grey of Scarlet Imprint return to the show for an exploration and celebration of Jake Stratton-Kent: In particular his thought, his research and his impact on the western magical world. We discuss: ➡️His generosity as a thought leader. ➡️His attitude to academia and academics. ➡️His role in the return of spirit-centric approaches to the grimoires. ➡️His revitalisation of blue grimoires. ➡️His understanding and love of the Ancient and Archaic Greek world. ➡️"I don't do angels." ➡️His championing of practice over theorising. ➡️His role as a key participant in the return of the Dead to contemporary western magical practice. I'm very grateful to Peter and Alkistis for sharing their thoughts about their friend and colleague, Jake. 🔼🔼 WHAT NEXT?🔼🔼 ✅ Sign up to the newsletter so you never miss a podcast or blog post: https://runesoup.com/emails/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Premium Membership for hundreds of hours of magical training: https://runesoup.com/join-rune-soup/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Telegram Group: https://t.me/runesoupchat ✅ Book a shamanic healing session with Gordon: https://runesoup.com/shamanic-energy-healing/ 🔼🔼ABOUT RUNE SOUP🔼🔼 Rune Soup is a podcast channel that platforms the most important discussions at the cutting edge of magic, animism and spirit work.

This week, we discuss morality, where to intervene in the world, in your life and why. Then there's a random Q&A at the end with discussions of very gay tarot card decks and other cool things.

We talk about the weakness of the word archetype, we talk about place and story and transformation, we talk about myth and landscape,we talk about Tolkien, Gandalf and Merlin, we talk about defending indefensible books, and… in the end and ultimately, we talk about spiritual transformation.

Author and (post)activist Dougald Hine joins us this week for a powerful discussion about our moment and what if anything we should 'do' with and about it. The springboard for our chat is Dougald's recently-released book, At Work in the Ruins. We unpack the title what do we mean by 'work' as well as what we mean by 'ruins'. Physical? Cultural? Social? We talk about what it means to hospice modernity and we unpack why one of the founders of the Dark Mountain project is no longer talking about climate change. Really good stuff. Good, timely stuff.

The one and only Jenx returns to the show to discuss his latest book, Supernatural Thailand. And so of course we discuss graveyards, Naga caves, boy spirits, dying for one's city and a whole bunch more. Then we end the show looking at some of Adjarn Apichai's forecasts for the next few years and where they precisely align with our own. Great stuff, as always!

Something different and personally very exciting for this show. In the few days in between my Ecuadorian ayahuasca retreat and a return to my Peruvian jungle dieta, I got to visit the art school founded by my favourite artist, Pablo Amargino. Even better… I got given the tour by Pablo’s son, Juan! Juan is himself an artist, so I also got to see some of his work, and some of the work of Pablo’s students. Plus I got the opportunity to ask some questions about Peruvian shamanism and curanderismo, and have some of the amazing concepts depicted in the painting spelled out.

Spiritism, Umbanda, Quimbanda, Candomblé. The impact of Diaspora African frameworks, Amazonian plant spirits, ayahuasca. The impact of Catholicism and the role of the saints.
