In this lost episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST, Rachel True and Mat Auryn welcome witchcraft author and third degree high priest Jason Mankey for a conversation that discusses the hidden history of music, where crossroads magick, hoodoo folklore, and esoteric influence shaped the pulse of blues and rock long before anyone spoke of “occult music.” From there the dialogue drifts into the nature of practice itself, touching on everyday sorcery, personal power, and subtle ways of working energy in daily life. They explore the question of initiation and whether formal lineage is required for authentic practice, opening a thoughtful exchange on tradition, self-dedication, and the many ways a witch steps fully onto their path. The episode also brings forward Jason’s newest work, a biography of Raymond Buckland that offers a rare look into the life of one of modern witchcraft’s most influential figures. The result is a rich exchange on art as spellcraft, magick as a lived reality, and the evolving legacy of the Craft.
