Between a Rock and a Hard Place

After a brief respite, Beyond the Well is back with its first episode of the new year. Though the year is new, our problems are likely old. Join me this week for a brief chat about depression, motivation, and why it is so important to learn to appreciate the dude that stares back at you in the mirror.

The veneration of the feminine divine has seen a resurgence among younger generations now forging their own spiritual path forward. This week we are joined by one such individual who, like so many others, has decided to hail the goddess in the ways she deserves. Join us this week for a discussion about the worship of the goddess Freyja, group ritual, and the dynamics of spiritual work with a tribe of your own.

Happy Yule everyone! This week we welcome the founder of the occult organization The Sect of the Horned God, Thomas LeRoy. As the head of an educational organization founded in occult principles, Thomas has become a staple of the modern Left Hand Path community. Join us this week for a discussion about the Old Ways, Crowley, and how we can preserve the traditions of old. Have a wonderful holiday season, everyone.

Beyond the borders of our nation are a multiplicity of cultures that are centered around the divinity that exists with all human beings. This weeks guest Kundalini Yogini is but one Westerner of many who has renounced the corrupt traditions of the West, and embraced the divinity within.

The dark, mutant-like edges of the art scene have been confined to their corner away from prying eyes a little too long. This week, we welcome Stroke of Moonlight, an independent digital artist, to Beyond the Well for a discussion about Tim Burton, runes, and how to overcome a lack of motivation as an artist.

As the month of October ends, a new age begins. Joining us this week from North Carolina is Christian Villegas, my best friend, brother, and kindred spirit. In this episode of Beyond the Well, we unpack what the month of October held for us, as well as the importance of dedicating oneself to the pursuit of a spiritual path, in whatever form that may take.

As indicated by the title of our show, the search for truth will often lead you to some dark and muddy places. There is no better embodiment of this idea today than Nikolas Schreck. From the days of the infamous deathrock outfit Radio Werewolf to his investigative work with the Charles Manson case, Nikolas has led an incredibly fascinating life and has produced an equally intriguing body of work. This week we welcome Nikolas Schreck to Beyond the Well for a sublime discussion about music, Manson, and the rabbit hole that those who search for truth will inevitably fall down.

One benefit of modernity is the acceptability of things once considered taboo. This week we welcome professional domme Lilith Scorpius to Beyond the Well to better understand this curious field of work and how her role in BDSM has opened new pathways for her spiritually.

Take a trip down memory lane this week with your host. This week, I'm take a step back and explaining a bit about my own spiritual path and journey. To all who have inquired, I hope you find this weeks installment of the podcast intriguing and perhaps a little inspiring. No road is as straight as you'd like it to be.

This week we welcome MMA fighter, coach, and fellow podcaster Mike Flach to Beyond the Well for a discussion about Stoicism, the pitfalls of MMA competition, and how to pick yourself up off the floor when life knocks you down. Get your guard up, and keep pushing the pace.
