The Tools

If you meet a god in a dream, is it your unconscious speaking?If a ritual brings about an extraordinary experience, is it your subconscious at work?And if we can find an explanation for something magical, does that make it any less magical?Carl Jung explored the depths of the human psyche, finding a world of symbols, archetypes and experiences that challenged the boundaries of conventional psychology.His ideas have since found their way into modern witchcraft and magical practice.Tonight, we enter the world of Jungian psychology together with two Dutch high priests, Serge and Sven, and explore its relationship with magic.Welcome to Cone & Candle.and if you want to hear more of Sven and Serge amd you speak dutch, check out their podcast De wilde Rozenhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3Lwrl3wyaXhSgtf31nlEGs?si=0190239c38fb4e53

We sit down with the most lovely Fieke to talk about magic and music. She takes us into the technicalities, but also very much the emotions end the uniqueness of music and what sound does with us. She takes us on a journey of loss and pure joy from burial mounds to castlefest.

What is folk magic and how is it still present in our lives?From healing herbs and spells to saucy love spells with questionable ingredients, and we take a look at some mandrake myths. this episode is a bit cheeky and maybe not for our youngest listeners.

We are delighted to explore the magic of words and poetry with our beloved dr. Phyllis Koehler. not only do we talk about words rhythm and cadence, but also about the magic that words carry and what they have meant in Phyllis her journey. as cherry on top she shares some of her works that have left us gasping and maybe a bit horny.Enjoy!

We are fan-girling a bit today as we are talking to the great Catherine Starr. She is phenominal with Tarot and has lifted it from its 2d form into real flesh and blood. Catherine takes us on a journey through her magical life and has us spellbound.

What is it that a witch needs other than a good sense of humour?Stella and Marjolein go through a bunch of the tools that a witch can have in his or her arsenal. Hop on your broom and join is in this conversation!

We sat down with our beloved high priest to talk about the workings of the mind and the descend into magical madness. Ketil talks about his own magical journey, to where we need to drive our mind and some techniques around meditation and trance work.

A little edgy one. We talk about symbols and in particular those who got a bad rep in history. so this might not be an episode for everyone, but we wanted to share the story in it never the less. Stella shares her tantalizing story about how she met Man Woman, a strong healer that was completely tattooed in offensive symbolism and how he completely changed her mind.enjoy!
