In the season finale of "The Wildwood Witch" podcast, host Samantha Brown orchestrates a "Supernatural Symposium" on the Winter Solstice, bringing together the spectral luminaries of the occult world to synthesize the core teachings of the season's guests - Rosaleen Norton, Austin Osman Spare, Leah Hirsig, Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune, MacGregor and Moina Mathers, Kenneth Grant, Marjorie Cameron, and Jack Parsons.
This is Part 2 of the "Supernatural Symposium," and delves into the profound implications of the "Age of AI" on humanity's spiritual evolution and the necessity of crafting a new mythos for this era. The discussion explores the Thelemic philosophy of Aleister Crowley, the alignment of personal will with the Divine Will, and the role of the "Holy Guardian Angel" in occult practice. The conversation also touches upon the psychological dimensions of occultism, the significance of the Sacred Feminine, and the concept of Aeons—vast cycles of spiritual evolution.
The episode is a rich tapestry of esoteric wisdom, featuring insights from Crowley on the principles of 'Do what Thou wilt' and 'Love Under Will,' Kenneth Grant on the discovery of one's "True Will," and Dion Fortune on the intersection of occultism and psychology. The symposium also examines the transformative power of archetypal stories and the potential for personal and societal apocalypses to herald new Aeons. As the finale draws to a close, Crowley offers a poignant reflection on the cyclical nature of beginnings and endings, and the potential for the ideas shared in the podcast to inspire and shape the future.
