  • Can Process Philosophy Explain How Magic Works? With Dr Darren Iammarino

    Can Process Philosophy Explain How Magic Works? With Dr Darren Iammarino
    2026/08/05

    Can Alfred North Whitehead’s process philosophy offer a new way of understanding how magic works?


    Join me live on Saturday, 1 August 2026, at 12 pm EST for a fascinating conversation with Dr Darren Iammarino of the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of San Diego.


    We will explore the philosophy of magic between 1875 and 1975, beginning with Spiritualism, Theosophy, William James, and the emergence of spirit and energy models. Our central focus will be Whitehead’s process philosophy and its potential to explain magic through an informational and relational model of reality, in which events, consciousness, agency, and influence are interconnected processes rather than isolated substances.


    We will also consider how yoga, Tantra, and the Yoga Sūtras conceptualise siddhis, or supernormal powers, alongside the influence of perennialism on modern Western interpretations of magic.


    Can process thought help us move beyond the familiar opposition between supernatural and psychological explanations? Could magic be understood as participation in a dynamic and interconnected cosmos? Join us live and bring your questions for the discussion.

  • Lughnasadh vs Lammas: The Truth About the First Harvest Festival

    Lughnasadh vs Lammas: The Truth About the First Harvest Festival
    2026/07/26

    Was Lughnasadh really an ancient Celtic fire festival, and is it actually the same celebration as Lammas?


    In this video, I separate historical evidence from modern Pagan reconstruction. I explore the medieval Irish assemblies associated with Lugh and Tailtiu, the English Christian origins of the Lammas loaf-mass, the folklore collected by Máire MacNeill, and how Wicca brought these distinct traditions together on the modern Wheel of the Year.


    Join me if you are interested in Paganism, witchcraft, occultism, Celtic religion or harvest festivals, and discover how we can celebrate the season meaningfully without mistaking modern mythology for ancient fact.

  • Can AI Become a Magical Familiar? Witchcraft, Tarot and the Algorithm

    Can AI Become a Magical Familiar? Witchcraft, Tarot and the Algorithm
    2026/07/19

    In this video, I explore one of the strangest and most fascinating questions emerging in contemporary occultism: what happens when witches, tarot readers, and magical practitioners begin treating AI not just as a tool, but as an oracle, assistant, mirror, or even a familiar-like presence?


    Drawing on the history of familiar spirits, digital religion, WitchTok, AI-assisted tarot, and theories of agency and animism, I ask whether artificial intelligence can meaningfully participate in magical practice, and where the real dangers lie.


    Is the algorithm just reflecting us back to ourselves, or is something more interesting happening in the relationship between magic, technology, and meaning?


    Perfect for anyone interested in witchcraft, tarot, AI, digital religion, occult studies, and the future of magical practice.
