In this evocative episode of The Circle Is Podcast, Rachel True and MatAuryn are joined by Nika Rosa Danilova (better known by her stage name Zola Jesus) to dive deep into the intersection of music, magick, and spirituality. Nika shares the transformative journey behind her latest albumArchon, a creation born from surrender and embracing chaos. We explore how her occult practices, syncretic spirituality, and connection to nature shape both her art and daily life. Nika opens up about navigating life as an introverted empath, the power of setting energetic boundaries, and how music acts as a form of magick, with songs as tulpas carrying potent emotional energy. This episode also delves into the challenges of the modern music industry, how to stay authentic as an artist, and the magick found in embracing discomfort and pushing creative boundaries. With thoughtful insights, humor, and a rich discussion on spirituality and self-discovery, this episode is a must-listen for those intrigued by the alchemy of art and the occult.
