Fletcher Tucker: Kin #63

Occult thinker and practitioner David Beth once made a vow to wait at least a decade before writing another book. "The Black Pilgrimage“ is the result of that promise. With the release of this tome as a springboard, we dive together with David into the dark, beautiful abyss. We touch upon themes of identity, integrity, and the dangerous desire to stay unaffected by the world. Can we embrace the world with all its imperfections, horrors and loss and stay porous in relation to it? Can we allow it to remain a mystery?DAVID BETH LINKShttps://theionpublishing.com/https://kosmicgnosis.com/Soundscape for intro and outro by Lee Berwick.https://www.leeberwick.com/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESThelemahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThelemaMichael Bertiauxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bertiauxhttps://www.instagram.com/michaelbertiauxart/Voudon Gnosis by David Bethhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6850109-voudon-gnosisMuseshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusesOrpheushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OrpheusOdinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OdinMartin Heideggerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_HeideggerLwahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LwaGnosticismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnosticismFriedrich Nietzschehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_NietzscheZorba the Greekhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorba_the_Greek_(film)Anselm Kieferhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anselm_KieferHellblazerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellblazer

We’re starting a new thread in our podcast weave! "Epic Small Talk“ is basically conversations between performance storytellers and other myth workers on different mythological subjects. A deep dive into the nitty gritty of myth, if you will. And to bless any new project, we have to start by invoking and inviting trickster to open the landscape for us. Join performance storytellers Jo Blake and Dominic Kelly (UK) as well as your eternal hosts Mikael Öberg (SE) and Torgrim Mellum Stene (NO) in a delightful caper on the edge between right and wrong, the cracks, the openings, the thresholds, the grey areas of neither/nor where trickster resides and spins its dynamic dance. The image of trickster is seen from a wide range of perspectives, including in relation to the current state of the world. We invite you to the beginning. A beginning.JO BLAKE LINKhttps://jo-blake.co.uk/DOMINIC KELLY LINKhttps://dominickelly.net/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESTricksterhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TricksterBlodeuweddhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlodeuweddMabinogionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MabinogionRavenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravens_in_Native_American_mythologyCoyotehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_(mythology)Trickster Makes This World by Lewis Hydehttps://lewishyde.com/trickster/Hermeshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HermesMedbhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MedbThe Ulcster Cyclehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_CycleThe Trickster Aesthetic by Jeanne Rosier Smithhttps://books.google.se/books/about/The_Trickster_Aesthetic.html?id=jgpSNwAACAAJ&redir_esc=yMauihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81uiThe Gallic Wars by Julius Caesarhttps://classics.mit.edu/Caesar/gallic.6.6.htmlPeer Gynthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_GyntKalevalahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KalevalaLemminkäinenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmink%C3%A4inenFrank Abagnalehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_AbagnaleCatch Me If You Canhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_Me_If_You_CanLokihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LokiVodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Santeríahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santer%C3%ADaCynthia Bourgeaulthttps://www.cynthiabourgeault.org/Epic of Gilgameshhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_GilgameshIshtar/Inannahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InannaUrukhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UrukBaldrhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BaldrFrigghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FriggEzra Poundhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_PoundLleuhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lleu_Llaw_GyffesHodhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6%C3%B0rRagnarökhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6kKachinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kachina

Our second episode on the Odinic path takes us to Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, founder of Nordic Animism and initiate to Odin in the Candomblé tradition. We speak to him about his initiation to a Norse god in an Afro-Brazilian syncretistic context, about the nature of initation in general, and how the Odinic qualities of speaking something into being and insisting on the right story are crucial counterweights to our hypermodernistic and overly representational times.What is a right story? What is a wrong story? Can you destroy the sacred by making it too seen? Too available? Join us as we explore these themes guided by the guardian of knowledge.RUNE HJARNØ RASMUSSEN LINKhttps://nordicanimism.com/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Vodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouSanteríahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santer%C3%ADaOshoshihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OshosiUllrhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UllrYorubahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoruba_religionHávamálhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A1vam%C3%A1lDonna Harawayhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_HarawayTyson Yunkaportahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kb7EWX80FoRight Story, Wrong Story by Tyson Yunkaportahttps://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/199122606-right-story-wrong-storyAtlantishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AtlantisGotlandhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GotlandThe Matrixhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_MatrixBlack Pantherhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_(film)Gangs of New Yorkhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangs_of_New_YorkDunehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(franchise)Jötunnhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6tunnKalevalahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KalevalaRagnarökhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar%C3%B6kRagnarok tv serieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnarok_(TV_series)Sophie Strandhttps://sophiestrand.com/Wendigohttps://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo

We are back after another hiatus! And this time we invite you to join us in a magical episode of Shakespearean trivia and artistic nerdgasms. We are joined by performing artist, storyteller and The Great Bard Afficionado Extraordinaire – Debs Newbold (UK/IR)!Debs has worked extensively with retelling Shakespeare’s plays as storytelling shows, having reached international acclaim with her versions of King Lear, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Lately, she has been wrangling the beast that is "The Tempest“ which is slowly entering its final form. With that play as a jumping off point we discuss what it means to be faithful in a process of artistic adaptation, and how revision can feel like a glorious act of rebellion that is yet somehow able to be encompassed and even welcomed by a canonical work of art.DEBS NEWBOLD LINKShttps://www.debsnewboldplays.com/https://www.instagram.com/debsnewboldplays/https://x.com/debsnewboldSXIP SHIREY LINKShttps://www.sxipshireymusic.com/https://www.instagram.com/sxipshireyofficial/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESWords Festival (discontinued 2023)https://www.facebook.com/wordsfestivalShakespeare's Globe Theatrehttps://www.shakespearesglobe.com/Geoffrey of Monmouthhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_of_MonmouthOvidhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OvidGrace O'Malleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_O%27MalleyHag-Seed by Margaret Atwoodhttps://margaretatwood.ca/books/hag-seed/Arden Shakespearehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arden_ShakespeareLewis Theobaldhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_TheobaldPandorahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PandoraAlbionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion

David Beth has spent half a lifetime exploring the hidden aspects of consciousness, the malaise of the modern mind, the essences of divine archetypes and forms.We speak of how the Western World is a world only in concept, because it is based on safety, predictability and preconceived notions of what it should be. A reality based on human imposition. How do we re-establish a true relation with the world based on openness, listening and allowing, a world of never-ending creation, constantly making kosmos from kaos?DAVID BETH LINKShttps://theionpublishing.com/https://kosmic-gnosis.org/Intro text from the essay "Children of the Abyss"https://theionpublishing.com/shop/tfg_2revexp/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL [email protected] TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESConjuring Creativityhttps://conjuringcreativity.org/Aleister Crowleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_CrowleyThelemahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThelemaAnthroposophyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnthroposophyMichael Bertiauxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_BertiauxHaitian Vodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouLudwig Klageshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_KlagesMartin Heideggerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_HeideggerHomerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomerGeorges Bataillehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_BatailleSagas of Icelandershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagas_of_IcelandersLeft-hand-path and right-hand-pathhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-hand_path_and_right-hand_pathMinotaurhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinotaurArchon (Gnosticism)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon_(Gnosticism)Biocentrismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocentrism_(ethics)Maya Derenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_DerenCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Umbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UmbandaQuimbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuimbandaDionysushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DionysusLanguage of the birdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_the_birdsSiegfried/Sigurdhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SigurdSufismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SufismMjölnir (Thor's hammer)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mj%C3%B6lnirGeisthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeistVeil of Isishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_IsisKlaus Kinskihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_KinskiAlfred Schulerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_SchulerAnselm Kieferhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anselm_KieferVincent van Goghhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh
