New Podcast Interview and upcoming Conference

My appearance on This Podcast is Ritual was just posted. It was a great conversation, and the work Devin is doing is excellent. I really appreciated the chance to offer some perspective on my book, True to the Earth.

I will also be giving a talk at Rewriting the Future: 100 Years of Esoteric Modernism and Psychoanalysis at the end of May in Italy. The lineup is amazing and includes several of my favorite thinkers on the topic of the occult. My paper will expand upon some of the key ideas in True to the Earth and will be entitled "True to the Earth and a Pagan Conception of the Self".
