Episode 27: Michael Phillip | The Unidentified Flying Fractal Ourobouros of Wonder
In this new episode of Radio Amenti, my pal, Michael Phillip, host of Third Eye Drops podcast, joins me for a podcast/swapcast!
As per usual, whenever Michael and I have the opportunity to riff, we touch upon an array of topics, which tickle the imagination and "wiggle the wonder whiskers."
For this chat, we dive into strange terrain, including the UFO/UAP phenomena, disclosure (is it going to happen, and if so, what does it all mean?), why aren't there more movies featuring grey aliens + my The Greada Treaty theory, my terrifying encounter with a mysterious Black Triangle on the beach in the summer of 2014, the power of creativity as metaphorical manna, and much, much more.
Michael and I will be hanging IRL in Austin, TX for an event with our podcast network, Timewheel, and our other buddy, Mike Brancatelli (host of Mikeadelic) at the Church of the Sacred Womb on July 10th. Join us for an evening of ecstatic dance (not really my thing, but will be super fun for those who like that stuff), Mind Melds, new friends and much more.

Episode 26: Jennifer Sodini | Solve et Coagula
Well, here it is! After months of saying I'd do a solocast update episode, I have finally gotten around to it!
In this episode I get you up to speed about what I've been up to the last few months including getting married, splitting time between Mexico and Los Angeles, alchemy (dissolution and coagulation), paradox, embracing complexity (maybe we really do live in a simulation?), and joy about nearing the 1-year-mark of breaking up with booze.
This is a quick listen, and not meant to be super indulgent, but rather to just humanize your host so you know what's been happening in the process of - as we say here at Radio Amenti - making sense of change.

Episode 25: The XXX Files + Occult Super Friends with Devin Person and Jim Perry
Hi, friends! I am so psyched to share this episode with my dear friends, Devin Person and Jim Perry - that we've affectionately called "The XXX Files".
In this "triad" of greatness we have a casual, and hysterical, conversation about invisible realms, high strangeness, and the spaces in between those sights unseen.
I love Devin's write up about the episode too, so I'm just going to copy and paste this here for your enjoyment:
In the New Age corner, we've got Jennifer Sodini (previously on How to Evolve and Ascend), an amazing human who can talk angels and ayahuasca ceremonies while keeping a steady third-eye on conspirituality and spiritual bypassing.
In the Paranormal corner, hailing from parts unknown, we've got everyone's favorite cryptid conversationalist, Jim Perry of Euphomet (previously on How to Explore the Unknown).
And then representing the Occult in all its utmost seriousness, you have your favorite somber wizard... me.
This chat was super fun and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it. I've got a strong hunch Jim and Jen and I will be doing these more often, especially once we nail down a name and some cool team-up cover art.
To learn more about Devin and Jim's work, please check out their podcasts and Patreons!
Enjoy what you've heard? Please give Radio Amenti a review on iTunes and share the love!
More soon, and gratitude always!

I am a humble 21st century incarnation of the wizard archetype, playfully blurring the line between fantasy and reality. Wizards are helpful guides who bring magic, mystery, wisdom, and hope to the societies in which they serve. As a modern wizard, my life’s work is to help you—yes, specifically you!—create a slightly better reality."
JIM PERRY // EUPHOMET:

Episode 24: Richie Brown | Good Grief
After months of hiatus, I am back with a new (but, old) episode featuring my pal, Richie Brown. In this episode, we pick up where we left off after episode 28 (Playing With Failure) and discuss how the "awakening" process, has a similar trajectory to the Stages of Grief.
Laughing our way through the absurdity that exists in the anti-hero's journey into understanding the complexities, mysteries and nebulousness of "truth", life and all of the gradients in between - this conversation is authentic, candid, and a lot of fun.
I'll be back with new episodes, including a WAY OVERDUE solo-cast episode to get you up to speed on all that's gone down in the last few months, including falling in love, moving from LA to Mexico, and learning A LOT in the process. I can't wait to share everything with y'all, but in the meantime, please enjoy this conversation with Richie!
Follow Richie Brown!
Episode 23: Richie Brown | Playing with Failure
In this new episode of Radio Amenti, my dear friend, Richie Brown, and I have a conversation about the processes of creativity, love, friendship, and the imagination. We discuss the journey of our friendship, and some of the spiritual bullsh*t I subjected him to in the early days of our connection, as well as his reluctant, but important, role as a renegade life coach (of sorts) that helps you to uncover and unpack the power that exists within you, even when you're covered in cereal or hot pink face paint.
We also discuss The Brown Magick Oracle, which was inspired by my grandmother's oracle card deck, Stank Rag (wholesome erotic nihilism), and toilets on UFOs.
About Richie Brown (in his own words):
I make animations, illustrations, photo/video content, and various other art-related items typically involving some kind of fur or slime.

Episode 22: Gary McCrear (AKA: Gangsta Gurry) | The Future is Dreamy
In this new episode of Radio Amenti, my friend Gary D. McCrear (aka: Gangsta Gurry) and I discuss future potentials and present quandaries as we navigate this weird f*cking time with grace and honesty.
Discussing sobriety, spirituality, boundaries, learning, unlearning and all of the spaces in-between, this episode felt like we simultaneously took a deep dive into reality, while sipping tea and bonding over all the bullsh*t we've traversed throughout our process of growing into who we've always been (but somehow forgot along the way).
About Gary!
Gary D. McCrear or 'Gangsta Gurry' (he/him/his) is a queer Black educator, writer, and healer based out of Brooklyn, NY. He uses a variety of healing tools (tarot, reiki, candle magic) for self-actualization and reflection in his day-to-day life and in the lives of others to help further educate his communities.

Episode 19: Jennifer Sodini | On Death of the Familiar
In this new episode of Radio Amenti, after months of sabbatical, Jennifer Sodini returns to get us up to speed on the growth, evolution, chaos, order, disorder and clarity that has come from the revelatatory year that 2020 has been (FOR US ALL).
She discusses the insidious nature of QAnon, The Spiritual Consequences of Alcohol Consumption, Conspirituality, the loss of her pet, the Tao te Ching, and being OK with arriving into a space of "not knowing" and accepting (as Jiddu Krishnamurti called it) "Truth as a Pathless Land."

Episode 18: Pea The Feary | Human Design + Trip Sitting The Matrix
Pea was actually one of the first guests I had booked back when I launched Radio Amenti last fall, but I had some technical difficulties and my audio track from our recording got all botched. I was super embarrassed about the glitch, but Pea graciously allowed me to do a TAKE TWO, and as fate would have it, the timing was absolutely perfect.
This conversation is filled with a lot of laughs, insight, and creative flow. We discuss Pea’s journey into exploring imaginal realms, her art/creativity, Human Design, the sacred art of transmutation, the game of life and how it feels like we are currently “trip sitting The Matrix.” We also discuss crazy wisdom and the “interesting” d*ck art of Bhutan (see: Phallus paintings in Bhutan).
About Pea the Feary:
“I am Pea the Feary (Faerie) I consider myself an Afrofuturist and Seer. My work is about possibility, potential and realization. I am a strong believer in universal consciousness and I aim to spread the idea that everything is connected. The possibilities of what the universe can provide are endless and all within reach because we are already connected to everything. I want as many people as possible to understand that they are a part of every bit of this world. That gives us the power and the right to make things happen. I believe that a voice without judgement when used, can be the voice that will lead society towards expansion. The same particles that make up the stars in the sky and water in the ocean are in all of us. All that matters is how those particles are arranged. I truly believe that this concept can be understood by my community in such a way that when we implement it we make gigantic leaps.”

Episode 17: Mike Costaney | Best Tarot + The Third Thing
This new episode of Radio Amenti features my friend, Mike Costaney, musician, producer, and creator of the new Best Tarot deck.
In this conversation we discuss the art of tarot (literally), celebrating failure and embracing imperfection, creativity, music, dreams, "the third thing", and much more!
A little about Mike:
Mike produces art and music and resides in the weird town of Toms River, NJ. He is an enthusiast of Magick, Qabalah, and Psychotherapy; he works to find realistic connections with these concepts in art and collaborative projects like in his latest endeavor, "Best Tarot".
Here's a bit about best tarot:
Best Tarot is the product of over 40 professional artists, amateur doodlers, and people who haven’t attempted to draw since grade school art class. These folks were given 60 seconds to look at a classic Tarot card, an unwieldy black marker, and a sheet of paper. Then, they had to draw the card they had been looking at using only their memory as a reference, some artists executing most of the 60 second reference onto paper and some failing beautifully.

Episode 16: Giya Venus | The Miss Honey of Hogwarts
Giya and I connected on Instagram about a year ago, after I saw a post she made using the Amenti Oracle deck. Our friendship has naturally evolved, and our connection is incredibly special. Gentle, wise, brilliant, bold, DIALED IN, graceful and gorgeous, Giya has a way of articulating the liminal space that is really unique.
I love her energy, and the beauty she shares through her platform. I am thrilled to introduce you to her work in this interview, and foresee her star rising in the coming months (you heard it here first)!
I've titled this episode "The Miss Honey of Hogwarts", because (as you'll find out in this conversation), that's exactly the energy Giya transmits. Sweet like Miss Honey from Matilda, but POWERFUL like a teacher right out of the Hogwarts x Harry Potter Universe!
About Giya:
When she decided to start sharing her specific brand of healing, Giya Venus quickly found that she was overwhelmed at the sheer amount of titles people were being given to describe their brand.
Was she a healer, a shaman, a coach, a witch? Or was she somehow all of those things? Was she magic or just a human trying to make sense of it all?
Giya Venus is a shaman well versed in channeling, many forms of divination, energy healing as a light goddess, reiki practitioner and Akashic Records Reader. Her goal is to share tools that everyone can use at any stage of their journey to awaken to their fullest potential, elevate the collective consciousness, and integrate their own brand of magic into the dream of this world.

Episode 14: Yoshino | Flow States and The Tao of Now
We originally recorded this back in October 2019 at his studio in Los Angeles, Noh Wave, back when I first launched Radio Amenti, but the release of this conversation comes at a perfect (and somewhat divine) time. It begins with laughter, it ends with laughter, such is the case with many conversations I have had with this wonderful human being!

Artist Decoded is ranked among the top 100 visual arts podcasts of all-time.

Episode 13: Gary Lachman | Meme Magick and Synchromysticism
We originally recorded this interview back in September (2019), but the discussion is evergreen, perhaps even more so considering the current climate of the world, and COVID-times.
In this conversation, we discuss a multitude of subject matter including his work Dark Star Rising: Magick and Power in the Age of Trump, meme magick, the curious evolution of Pepe the Frog, Theosophy, Anthroposophy, New Thought, the power of imagination, and much more!

Episode 12: Jennifer Sodini | Dancing About Architecture
In this solo-cast episode, I talk about love, sex, romance, love as a space of consciousness, all sorts of things.
I get pretty vulnerable, and it was oddly cathartic, while also somewhat nervewracking. In any event, it feels like this was a potent transmission to share with everyone - whether you're single, in love, married, or in an undefined territory, I hope this makes you feel less alone in any struggles you may be having when it comes to matters of the heart.
I hope you enjoy what was shared.
I LOVE YOU!

This episode of Radio Amenti features a panel discussion from WITMA (Well-being in the Modern Age), where Jennifer Sodini hosted a conversation on The Imagination on October 19th, 2019 at Contra Studios in NYC. The audio from the panel was captured by Matt Xian of Timewheel Records and begins with a recap about the intention of the panel, closure on what WITMA was, and intentions for the future of 2020.

Colin and I connected over an Instagram synchronicity a while back, and since then he has become an integral force in my social constellation.
We recorded this interview back in August (2019), post my recent Rythmia trip, and pre-Peru adventure for Colin and our mutual good friend Michael Phillip, host of Third Eye Drops podcast.

Episode 3: Damien Echols | High Magick and The Alchemy of Change
Damien Echols was one of the West Memphis Three, three teenagers (at the time) who were aged between 16 and 18 and wrongfully accused of murder in what felt like a witch-hunt of a trial.
This harrowing story was explored in the documentary Paradise Lost as well as West of Memphis (produced by Peter Jackson and Fran Wals), and in the feature film starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth Devils Knot. Echols, along with Jessie Miskelley Jr., and Jason Baldwin were convicted as teenagers in 1994 for the 1993 murders of three boys in West Memphis, Arkansas.
Echols was sentenced to death, Misskelley, Jr. to life imprisonment plus two 20-year sentences, and Jason Baldwin to life imprisonment. During the trial, the prosecution asserted that the juveniles killed the children as part of a Satanic ritual.
It's a harrowing case, and the story is stranger than fiction, but with an alchemical lens, and the mindset of the magician, Echols persevered through the adversity, citing his Magickal practice as one of the key elements for surviving such a horrendous experience, and living to tell the tale through his books, work, teachings and embodied wisdom.
This conversation is filled with wisdom, as we explore what magick is and isn't, the interconnected nature of all things, and how even through adversity and the dark night of the soul on the hero's journey, the light will always prevail.
Damien is a kind, gracious being, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share our dialogue with you all...
