She is part of a spiritual lineage of Celtic origin, but also trained in other spiritual traditions including Trolldom and Hoodoo/Conjure.Many people encounter issues or have spiritual needs related to the Good People (faeries) or the Alfar (Elves).

Additionally, there are those courageous individuals who seek to establish a working relationship with the Fair Folk or the Alfar but are uncertain about how to do so safely. Addressing any of these Faery-related needs, and more, is Rose's area of expertise.In the Plus show we get into hybridism, how these entities can manifest. Rose tells us about her fascinating experiences with scrying and what she has seen surrounding people who have availed of her services, including Dark Man spirits.

  • Today, we welcome astrologer Elsa, who has been exploring the astrology of people who have had Dark Man experiences. A few months ago, Elsa asked the community on the Spirit Box Discord for volunteers to have their astrological charts analyzed to see if any patterns could be identified. The work surfaced some very interesting results.

    Elsa starts the show by explaining how charts break down for the first 12 minutes, so if you're already well-versed in that area, you may want to skip ahead. We delve into some of the evidence in my chart and discuss the parallels and contradictions in the charts of others (no volunteers were harmed in this process). To further this exploration, Elsa reviewed the charts of actors and artists who could be said to have Dark Man-related themes in their work.
    Its absolutely fascinating and a similar exploration to the one I undertook in Irish mythology and folklore.

    In the Plus show we get into Keanu Reeves chart and delve into the themes of John Wick as angel of death and Billy Bob Thornton as Lorne Malvo the 'devilish' assassin of TV show Fargo. We get into this type of research leads you to the process of shadow work. To close Elsa takes us through their investigation into the chart of famous psychic Eileen J Garrett and her book 'Call me Lucifer'. Its interesting stuff and you will be checking your chart...
    Now there are a number of stars we discuss in this piece including Aldebaran, Antares and Deneb Algedi to name a few. The recommendation is to check out Sasha Ravitch's work or to give Elsa a shout if you are on the Spirit Box Discord.

    Enjoy!
    My Book 'Song of The Dark Man' is now available for pre-purchase in all major bookstores and will be release early August in North America and in early September ROTW. You can order it here in the US and here the UK & ROW

  • Today we welcome Phil Hine back to the show to discuss his new book; Wheels within wheels.
    Phil has been a practising Occultist for over forty-five years, with a career spanning Wicca, Ritual Magic, Chaos Magic and nondual Tantra. Together with Rodney Orpheus he co-created and edited the UK’s first monthly Pagan magazine, Pagan News (1988-92).

    His books include: Condensed Chaos, Prime Chaos, The Pseudonomicon, Hine’s Varieties: Chaos & Beyond, Acts of Magical Resistance and Queerying Occultures. In 2019 he founded Twisted Trunk, a small press specializing in publishing translations of rare Tantric texts.”

    Wheels within Wheels examines the passage of chakras into Western Esotericism. Beginning with an overview of how chakras were conceptualized in early tantric traditions, Phil Hine traces how chakras captured the imagination of both Indian and European Theosophists in the late 19th century. He explores their appearance in the early Western Esoteric imagination, from the Christian mysticism of James M. Pryse to the practical exercises of Aleister Crowley. He examines the influence of Sir John Woodroffe’s The Serpent Power and the writings of Charles Webster Leadbeater, and how chakras were psychologized in the work of Jung, to their role in contemporary therapy culture.

  • Teila Verch Dywenys is a traditional witch and founder of The Cleaner Clootie Campaign, set up in 2018 in response to the growing proliferation of plastic objects left as offerings at her nearest Henge at Knowlton Grange in Dorset. Witnessing first hand how this trend has proliferated widely outside the Pagan Community (fuelled by social media and a disconnection from the original practice of clootie hanging) her aim is to realign the ancient tradition once more within its environmentally reverent origins by educating and by example ~ through the physical clearing of clootie impacted sites and by offering practical sustainable alternatives to plastic or permanent clooties.

    Teila takes us through her extraordinary experiences with the fae on the land where she lives and her work with the Dark Man and Dark Mother.
    In the Plus show she explains how she experiences the Dark Man energy and we get into what its like to ridden by this energy. How we are pushed to the side sometimes for something else to come through be that art, music or something magical.

  • Beginning in her early childhood, the world-famous trance medium and grande dame of parapsychology Eileen J. Garrett had numerous encounters with an entity she called the "Noble Stranger." When she asked his identity one day, this mysterious figure responded, "You may call me Lucifer."

    Call me Lucifer: Dialogues with a Noble Stranger, features Garrett's writings about her encounters with this Noble Stranger, and reflections on her intellectual "duels with her Devil." The book includes extensive verbatim transcripts of Lucifer's communication with Garrett, together with Lucifer's Compendium of Guidance.

    Though prepared with great care over the course of her life, the book has lain dormant in Garrett's family archives for decades. Her granddaughter, Lisette Coly, current President of the Parapsychology Foundation, has now decided that it should be shared with the public as an aid to our spiritual evolution.

    Eileen J. Garrett (1893-1970) was an Irish medium and one of the most important figures in parapsychology. Despite her apparent psychic abilities, which were subjected to numerous tests by the most prominent researchers of the era.

    Garrett maintained a lifelong healthy skepticism, always questioning the nature and meaning of her own extraordinary experiences. Her dedication to the objective, scientific study of psychical phenomena resulted in her establishing the Parapsychology Foundation, which published many books on the subject as well as the International Journal of Parapsychology, and the popular Tomorrow magazine.

    Garrett was also something of a bon vivant, rubbing shoulders with everyone from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to Cecil B. DeMille, Aldous Huxley, Salvador Dalí, Robert Graves, Anaïs Nin, and Carl Jung to name but a few. Garrett herself was a prolific author, writing a number of novels as well as books on psychical research and three autobiographies

  • Hailing from Carlow, Ireland, David Halpin is a writer with a deep knowledge of Ireland’s fairy lore and pagan heritage. On his facebook blog, Circle Stories, he explores these themes in great depth. David is also the creative force behind Occult Book Review on Twitter and YouTube.
    What I really love about David’s work is he is an active participant in preserving the lore and mythology of Ireland. He goes out and sees the stones and raths and teases their stories from them. Which provides us with a vital link to our past.
    In the show David talks how fairy spirits of alleged different forms can manifest in the same ways. He gives his thoughts on the parallels with UFOs and we get into the differences and similarities between cities and rural places with fairies and go down a bit of a rabbit hole after the Pooka.

    In the plus show we get into the dangers of summoning the Good People and David regals us with a story of brushing up against the strange while on a trip to a remote stone circle. We also discuss fairy ointments and from there discuss the use of psychedelics in Irish mythology and folk practice and go off on interesting tangents on the Djinn, Our Lady of Fátima and consciousness.

  • Nathaniel Gillis, an author and religious demonologist, with over two decades work under his belt following his experience in a haunted house. He has actively redefined the understanding of haunting phenomena, ghosts, and high strangeness and is frequently cited for his unique perspective on the demonic, emphasizing "The reason they are playing by different rules is because they are playing a different game,".

    Nathaniel brings a unique twist to his exploration of the Devil, demons, and unclean spirits. In his research, he suggests a potential connection between these supernatural entities and aliens. This unconventional perspective that expands the boundaries of traditional demonology and explores the intersections between different realms of the paranormal.

    Nathaniel posits the notion that demons engage in a form of self-replication through a process involving hybridism. According to this concept, these supernatural entities are believed to create hybrid beings through interactions with humans, which are often depicted as seductive demons. This unconventional theory suggests a link between the demonic realm and the potential for a unique form of reproduction, involving the creation of hybrid entities that share characteristics from both demonic and human origins. It is a speculative and imaginative interpretation within certain mythological and paranormal narratives.

    In the plus show we get into what these spirits might want? We get into some deep stuff on hybridism and how this self-replication happens. To quote Nathaniel, possession to us is pregnancy to them. To close out Nathaniel goes into some of the cases he’s investigated.

  • Rejoice! The legendary Aidan Wachter is back on SB! Aidan is a magician and the author of three books, Six Ways, Weaving Fate and Changeling. This show is called ‘it’s solved buy walking after a phrase Aidan used in our conversation. We discuss the impact nature can have on us as we’re working through the often challenging landscape of our lives. We discuss how our engagement and immersion into the landscape of our environment can nourish and bring healing to our internal world. And actually just how simple that process can be.

    We get into ones allies guiding writing, how it can be a collaborative process. What it’s like to write three very successful books.

    In the plus show we discuss what it's like to be a vehicle for the current. The field as an organism and as magical practitioners we have a function. We also go through how it's unlikely one will remain the same as ‘you once were’ if you develop a magical life and how that change will not always be pretty. It rarely is. We also go into how there is a sense that similar is happening on an international level and how to navigate things when confronted with difficult and the downright awful. It’s good stuff.

A podcast for those curious about Magic, the Occult, Witchcraft, the Esoteric, the Paranormal and the Supernatural.Douglas has been doing sorcery and magic for close to 20 years. And has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Today we focus on how his practice and areas of interest have changed since his recent move to the west coast of Canada. And we discuss his recent patreon show on Isobel Gowdie, his remarkable memory and his ability to communicate complex ideas.The title for this show is a reference to a phrase used by John Moriarty in one of his many Irish radio interviews where he talked about not sitting well with the modern world and feeling its separation from nature acutely. Consequently he left his academic career and moved home to Ireland to Connemara in Co. Galway. The conversation with Douglas reminded me of Moriarty’s phrase not least because of their both moving to a rural location but in a topic that came up in the plus section of the show where we discuss the horror of poorly done TV and film adaptations. And how film becomes less story and more spectacle, that as a narrative form it is exhausted, the well has run dry. We discuss the need for new stories, new dreams and round out the conversation with hope and belief in the young generations and generation to be born will dream new stories and new art into being.The show notes are extensive for this one so do check them out there is a wealth of material to be explored there.
