Welcome to Weird Web Radio! This episode brings back the man, the myth, the living legend Jason Miller! There are few people living or dead that have had the amount of impact on my life that Jason could claim. I've been using and abusing Jason's approach to Sorcery for many years. This episode is all about yet another course that has reshaped some of my practice and given me another complete system to explore. This is The Sorcery of Hekate course! I've been part of the cycle over the last seven months. There's much I could say, but I left most of that up to Jason. My own experience has transformed my relationship and understanding of Hekate. She's been a minor part of my work for years. Now she's central force in my life. The techniques taught in the course have become a good part of my own system now. The spirits in this course are a huge discovery! In fact, the lessons of the Eight - students and alumni will know what I mean - helped me solve the mystery of other spirits in my Sorcery. There is so much to u

Welcome to Weird Web Radio! This episode features Laura Tempest Zakroff! I found Laura by accident. I should've known her work, but somehow it flew under my radar. That was until I read a review of Weave the Liminal. That book hit me so hard and profound that it's now required reading for my own studnets.

This one is a closer look into his book Paganism In Depth.  Some changes this season include discussion of the guests favorite local folklore in the show rather than the bonus section. I added some new more in depth personal questions to the bonus section as well to see how guests deal with failure and success alike.  John's Bio: John Beckett grew up in Tennessee with the woods right outside his back door.
