64. The Devil Himself w/ Chris Allaun & Ghosts of Gary Gygax w/ Asher

Lux Occult

Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata speaks with author Chris Allaun http://chrisallaun.com/, about his new title, The Black Book of Johnathan Knotbristle, a Devil's Parable and Guide for Witches, available from Crossed Crow Books https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/. Chris speaks about the importance of narrative as a teaching tool as well as his tradition of witchcraft. Also explored is the manner in which the figure of the Devil is viewed within the tradition, and Chris’s relationship with the narrator of the story, Jonathan. Spoiler: Jonathan differs in interesting ways from other narrators! The episode within the episode features Asher, host of Ad Hoc History podcasthttps://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/adhochistory, to share a story about exploring dilapidated buildings, and the feeling of liminality experienced in places where the past seems to bleed through to the present. We talk about the old TSR factory where some of the earliest gaming pieces for the Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game were created. Also included are poetry snacks and a few sound magic tracks from the upcoming FAFO pt.2 The Green Mushroom Project and We the Hallowed Digital Mixtape! Thanks to Antimony Jackson, PG Warfare, and everyone who contributed tracks to the project. Much Love!
