I was invited back onto the Occulture podcast recently to discuss the history and magic of Epiphany and the Three Magi, which you can listen to here. This coming Feast of the Wise Men will mark the first year my own short book on the Three Kings has publicly existed during Epiphany, as last year I was busy on January 6th doing pilgrimage to venerate their relics in Cologne. I am eager to share the joy of the Magi with any and all interested!

You can of course also check out my previous appearance on Occulture - discussing geomancy and cartomancy with Ryan - right here too.

“Necromancer (necromantes) he that practises that wicked Art, a Master of the Black Art, one that seeks to the dead; or consults with Satan in the shape of a dead man. The Hebrews describe him thus; he made himself hungry, and then lodged among the Graves, that the dead might come to him in a dream, and make known to him that which he asked, &c. Others there were that clad themselves with cloathes for that purpose, and spoke certain words, burned Incense, and slept by themselves, that such a dead person might come and talk with them in a dream.”
