Is there intersection between how you protect yourself from potentially unhelpful magical forces and potentially unhelpful people? What are some experiences in this area others might find useful to hear about? How do we define psychic self defense? How do we practice it? What are some experiences or tips we'd share?

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one’s magical practice. For this panel discussion, we address the following questions. How do we navigate the relationship between doing magic for things we desire in healthy ways (and how do we define this) vs. things we might desire that would be unhelpful for us, or which might travel into the territory of spiritual bypassing? What barriers surrounding the concept of desire have we had to move through in our work? What experiences would we share?Thanks to panel guests Clodius, Zarpauluk, Catalyst and Jour de SadalsuudReferenced in today’s episode: Zarpauluk’s work https://paraimperium.wordpress.com/ https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Joanna_Ghost_Hunter/The Tibetan Book of the Dead The Big Book of Candle Magic - Jacki Smith Conversations on Citizenship and Person-Centered Work - John O’Brien & Carol BlessingThanks to Sad Black Lab for the use of their song, "Steps" https://youtu.be/rJIg__DK2X8?si=WE9aCcU6lpMIISpMhttps://youtu.be/WYmgmgtjCpQ?si=MQ5B-93ib6yvK8f3https://open.spotify.com/track/0lqCwUEgiryqT2G8QMBgRt?si=r5t5OIaGT7yzB6vn-QOZiw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A2ccTag8BLNcMa9pQfHdtxSThanks for listening to the Lux Occult Podcast!

Marcella Kroll https://www.marcellakroll.com/ , author of Healing the Liminal, joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to talk about what it means to exist in, navigate and heal liminality, as well as about discovering ways to connect with unknown ancestors and lost family members through meditative, artistic and magical practices. Topics discussed include the Family Tree exercise outlined in Healing the Liminal which spurred Marcella’s discovery of several lost ancestors and family members. The concept of Dragon Energy and how differently it can express itself in various contexts. How to recognize and avoid Toxic Empathy, authenticity and autistic masking, and the Key as a magical symbol. What if some of our Ancestors have connections to other worlds and the liminality of outer space? Marcella shares about being an experiencer and how that impacted what she ultimately decided to share in the book.

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata hosts a panel of magic practitioners to discuss navigating issues related to mental health in one’s magical practice. Questions the panel will address: How do you know when you're getting into potential trouble by going "too far", or do you not consider this to be a risk? What have you done in the past to get yourself out of potential trouble, if you've had that experience? Banishing rituals and things like that are classic examples of rituals that can be performed to go from one mental space to another, but I'm curious about the ideas and philosophy you all might have about when it's time to use these tools, how, etc Luxa also shares an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent forward magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent, and providing consent education to magically inclined people.
