“When magick looks a lot like religion”

Hey Folx,

Faith is something that is important to me. My own faith has been a journey, fraught with ups and downs as I also seek to respond to the sense of call God placed on my life and had confirmed by communities I have served. Like it is for many of you, faith is also an intensely personal thing that I do not share with just anyone.

Equally rare is my connecting to another person, or community, where I feel a sense of being “kindred souls” on a faith journey. It may surprise some that what I mean by that has little to do with sharing the same faith/beliefs but more with the spirit of openness and willingness to teach and be taught. To educate and to learn. I am finding such spaces more and more rare, but I do see them.

One of these people is Fr. Aaron Leitch. When I heard him and his wife, Carrie, speak together on Glitch Bottle, I knew intuitively that they were the kind of kindred people I was talking about. As I have gotten to know them, I have not been wrong. What continues to move me about Aaron’s teaching is the level of vulnerability he shows, especially regarding his early years undergoing the Abramelin operation. Anyone who has undergone a major initiation knows that it changes everything. He is one of the few occultists I have listened to who describes what that means.

You can imagine how giddy I got when he suggested we do a Live together and talk about these things! Yes, we will be up to it tomorrow evening, so I encourage everyone reading this to join us and roll in the weekend with us! There is a nominal fee to hop onto the Patreon, but I assure you it will be worth every cent.

See you tomorrow!
