Thelema NOW! Crowley, Ritual & Magick

44

Our mission is to provide listeners with interesting, informative, thought-provoking interviews featuring individuals involved in myriad realms of mysticism, spirituality and magical theory and practice: authors, sorcerers, academics, entertainers. We’ll be looking into everything except inter and intra organizational politics as that’s ground very thoroughly tilled by other programs. (Opinions expressed on this program by interviewees and interviewers are theirs alone and do not necessarily represent those of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O), Ordo Templi Orientis U.S.A. (O.T.O.-U.S.A.), or any of their officers or directors.)

    I wilt
    Harper is great and though I usually enjoy the guests, I find some more compelling than others, e.g. more Tobias Churton ! :-)

    Poor Quality
    The people interviewed are doing very interesting work, but the quality of the audio is terrible. I can barely understand what anyone is saying, and the conversations are quite awkward. The interviewers appear to be unprepared and more invested in their own ideas rather than the ideas of the people they are interviewing. As magicians, I expect more. It’d probably help if everyone was in the same room, rather than on a phone call... The idea of this show is so brilliant, please do something to improve the quality of sound.

    My favorite podcast
    This is my favorite podcast. Harper Feist does such probing and entertaining interviews with her guests, which are informative a lots of fun. And the guests are great. My favorites are the interviews with Peter Mark Adams and Carl Abrahamsson, but I like them all. Some authors make the rounds when they have a new book, but Feist is able to get her guests to share a little more that I greatly enjoy. I have not found another interview of this depth with Rain Al-Amin, which is another favorite. And it keeps getting better!

    Generally good guests, questions could be better
    I agree with another reviewer, while I like listening to the guests - who are usually quite interesting. Frater Puck seems likable - but he should ask better questions in general, and refrain from laughing agreeably after every guest answer. Call-ins might add some interest.

    Five star idea, but 3 star execution.
    The premise of this show is fantastic, but it seems to be lacking in how it pursues its goal. Perhaps the problem lies in the interviewers style. As much as I like Frater Puck, I have to wonder if laughing after everything the guests say is really the best way to present an interview. Maybe that's just my own pet peeve. Still, I'll keep listening if you keep putting them out there. Thanks.

    Top Notch Occult Podcast
    This show leaves most other occult-themed podcasts spinning in its wake. The guests and production quality are top of the line.

    Cool Show, even for the uninitiated
    I am not a Thelemite. I am just a contemporary guy. But this is just all around a good show. I have heard interviews with several of my favorite musicians and their intimate experience of art, including the mighty Jarboe, and Daniel Ash. I encourage the curious to check it out.

    Nice Daniel Ash interview

    Has been going downhill lately...
    This show had a great start, interviewing many occult luminaries. That is until the host discovered that he could use this gig to satisfy every fanboy's dream: to gush to his idols. Now, all the shows are interviews with musicians with a pinch of occult discussion. The announcer says that it's a podcast about Crowley, Magick, and ritual. I hope it eventually veers back in that direction.

    Interesting & Varied Content
    This twice-monthly podcast typically has easy to digest 30-50 minute episodes covering one interview. I really enjoy the mix of content from week to week: interviews with musicians, artists, authors, publishers and others. Some weeks the content is deeply philosophical and other weeks are quite light and entertaining. All of the episodes touch on subjects or artists connected to Thelema or Crowley's work in one way or another, however they don't generally fixate on Thelema or the OTO, and may be of interest to a wider audience. Close to a third of the first two dozen episodes are interviews with musicians, largely focused on post-punk & industrial musicians of the '80s. While I like the bands and the interviews, it seems just a touch much compared to the other subjects. I'd love to hear more interviews like the ones with David Chaim Smith and Daniel Gunther which provide a lot of food for thought. Keep up The Great Work!

    Fantastic Start!
    Cogent and engaging, it is great to see a pod cast focusing on issues that are of significance to all Seekers of Light, Life, Love and Liberty!

    Interesting, but it's still regurgitated Crowley
    If they could only think outside the books they'd be better. On the plus side, they have Jim Wasserman for the first episode, but it's still a regurgitation of Aleister Crowley's writings.
  • AmeliaElizabeth
    Off to a great start!
    One podcast so far, but it's very informative. The interview with Wasserman is very indepth. Look forward to hearing more!
