On this Feast of the anchorite saints Judith and Salome, we are most pleased to bring you another episode of RFG! Ahhh….. the merry month, where did go?! Perhaps into hiding with our sweet anchorites, not to be confused with a myriad of other Saints Judith and Salome, or the hagiographic (hag because saint, not because crone) blur with two badass ladies of the Hebrew Testament–but a happy feast to you all the same! Brought to you by the Demon King (or Queen, some say…) Beleth; the get-away-from-me-unless-you’re-lightning and beloved source of medieval nut milk, the illustrious tree and good herb Walnut; the blackest of Tourmalines for our stone; and the Hermit as our Tarot Trump this day. We explore the geomantic figure of loss-but-not-sadness, Amissio, and its homo-form of Os(h)e Meji from the Ifa and Orisha corpus; and discuss the myriad magics of seclusion and exile, following in the footsteps of our anchorite inspirations. (When there was only one set of footprints, it is because I left you to live in a small cell and retire from the weary, well-worn world….) And finally we discuss and explore the life and works of the divinely inspired artist and priestess Susanne Wenger, also known by her Yoruba name, Adunni Olorisa, an Austrian artist who expatriated to Nigeria and manifested her love of traditional Yoruba religion in her art and architecture, bringing new life to old temples and bringing the Divine to earthly form.Now and always, may it always be a cell of our choosing, dear ones. See you next episode! Enjoy!We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 29: Saints Salome & Judith

Welcome welcome welcome to another very special episode of Radio Free Golgotha! This, our twenty-eighth outpouring, comes to you in honour of the Feast of Joan of Arc, and we are delighted to step into the fray and discuss all sorts of business around the revealed mysteries of God and the unseen secrets of state, the celebration of women, and the cultivation of Strength, the development of spirit-hearing as well as spirit-sight, and a remembrance of another persecuted Joan…The reason for the season, this episode is primarily brought to you by this our Feast of the Maid of Orleans, and we will be paying bibliographic and as well as theological homage to her legend, life, and loyalties. This episode is also brought to you by the Demon Musifin (aka Reschin) and his counterparted Exu Capa Preta, “Mr Black Cape”; via whom we discuss oaths, secrets, pacts, and both the sorcerous revealing and beclouding of private information and public trust alike.Our cherished herb of the hour is the noble Iris, named for a messenger-divinity whose aura was celebrated in the fields of the meadow and the ring around the Moon. Celebrating from bud to root, we also consider the unguents and glamours wrought by the employment of queenly Orris Root.Our mineral is a metal, and the coldest one at that: Iron. We discuss armours and armaments, protections and perturbations, the rust of blood and red hot pokers, ther security of blades and the warding off of ill omens.This episode is additionally brought to you by discussion of Clairaudience; what it means to divine by sound, hearing as well as seeing spirits, and where the voices refine and not simply overwhelm the other sensory faculties of developing mediumship.Our geomantic figure of the episode is Puella, the Maiden, or rather simply the Hostess-with-the-Mostess. We discuss what it means to be the figure of feminine craft, power, art, and mystery emergent from a patriarchal pre-modern European mindset, and how to hear the empowering skills and cautions in this figure’s voice across a shield chart, and consider some comparisons with the homo-formic Ifa figure of  Odu  Otura Meji.This episode is also brought to you by celebration of the Tarot Arcana of Strength; and we converse of the history of this card and its predecessors, reflect on innocence and force, and even get a little downright Babalonian…Finally, this episode is lastly brought to you by a little history lesson on the labour dispute that led to witchcraft hangings, honouring Joan Flower of the accused Belvoir Witches, along with her daughters and a host of further accusations and confessions, as our Dead Magician of the day.We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting it together!We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 28: The Feast of Saint Joan of Arc

With a perspicacious opacity, we bring you this twenty seventh episode of Radio Free Golgotha in celebration of the Holy Martyrs of Ostia, those criminals turned martyrs, whose feast of April 10th coincides with the third of day of the  writing of the Book of the Law, which informs the rest of our surveyed topics, and  brings us to welcome our special guest, Joshua Adam Sharp, to the show! Our Demon is that voice-from-over-the-left-shoulder, Aiwass, who delivered the book, styled the Holy Guardian Angel of Crowley himself, who is our necessary Dead Magician of the episode. We have chosen the Poppy as our herb for its dangerous dreamings and as tribute of fallen warriors; the Topaz as our Stone,  to see what it might “shew” us still. As a practice we highlight the concept of channelling, with the complexities and nuances such a practice demands. The audacious Puer is our Geomantic figure, and its homoform of the Odu Irete Meji, aka Merindilogun Meji. We also invite that noble Juggler of the Trumps, the Magician, to the discussion. Our special guest Joshua Adam Sharp is a card carrying fez wearing O:.T:.O:. member, co-owner of Botanica Macumba in New Orleans, a crowned olorisha and a quimbandeiro. Catch him if you dare/can.We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 27: The Feast of the Holy Martyrs of Ostia

Archangel Gabriel

In this very special twenty-sixth episode of RFG we are delighted to welcome artist, teacher, podcaster, and stargazing sorcerer of celestial images and lettrism, J.M. Hamade, to join us in this discursive night journey across what goes bump in the sublunary. Trumpeting the reason for the season we bid you a wonderful Feast of the Archangel Saint Gabriel, as we explore the hagiography and arch angelology of Gabriel aka Jibrīl, the anunciating Strength of God and friend of the Prophet (PBUH); as well as the forked origins and heaped demonologies of Iblis, the Shaytan. We celebrate the verdant and ancestral greening of the mineral Jade and the luminous whiteness of the wort Lily, herald's wand of martyrs and bane of cats. And thus by the beams and benedictions of the Key of the Stars we discuss the forms of magic ascribed to the Lunar Mansions, from considerations of sidereal and tropical star-math(s), to cunningly enchanted rings for summoning illusory trees, birds, and castles in the air.  We tour the creative voids, teeming absences, and inertiatic habitats of the Lunary geomantic figure of Populus and its counterparted Odu, Oyeku Meji.  And we count the rays and dewdrops of the Major Arcana of - of course - The Moon, and ponder its splendid adventures and phenomenal phantasmal phobias... Finally, we pay homage to the singularly prolific works and words of our dead magician Ibn Arabi; from his prayers to his illuminations and beyond. We were delighted and honoured to be joined on these rambles by our guest and dear friend, J.M. Hamade, and heartily recommend you check out and support his work over at his website, his Patreon, his Instagram, his Twitter, and his youtube channel and podcast, “House of Stars”.We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 26: The Feast of the Archangel Gabriel

Well met/Hullo/Hiya folks, and welcome to a very special episode 25 of RFG.  This episode is brought to you by the end of February closing in and the first ever Pope Saint to be officially allowed to be funny, St Hilarius. It is also brought to you by multitudinous discussion of the Demon Legion and of the demonic legions, in both grimoiric write-ups and conjurational experience. And by consideration of the magic of Good Character, as the tangible actions of the soul growing to embiggen our Selves and to discover who we indeed are in the dark. This episode is also brought to you by the bitter kiss and greening spirit of Wormwood, and by celebration of that most Venusian and verdigree-patina'd of native metals, Copper. It is also brought to you by the duct-taped passing luck of the geomantic figure of Fortuna Minor, and the resounding of the Odu Iroson Meji. Finally, this episode is also brought to by reflection upon the lightning-wrecked devilish lessons of the Major Arcana of The Tower; and by admiration and gratitude for the bravely lived life, work, and art of our dead magician, Rosaleen Norton, the notorious Witch of Kings Cross–artist, sex magician, counter culture icon, and Green Ginger wine enthusiast!We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 25: The Feast of Pope Saint Hilarius

Saint Thomas Aquinas

This January, having finally served the leftover carrots we’ve been dangling for six years, we are… refreshed. And so, we record our 24th episode under the patronage of the Philosopher Saint and Doctor of the Church, Thomas Aquinas. In our excitement, we invited the demon Ashtaroth to the conversation (forgetting that we have indeed partied before with Ashtaroth on Episode 17) and yet a lovely time was had by all.   We discuss the mighty Oak, the shapely Thunderstone (in its many permutations across Thunder-wondered cultures), the Major Arcana of the Empress, the magic of the Passions, the Geomantic Figure of Via, and that  dead magician and godfather of modern occultism, Alphonse Louis Constant, aka Eliphas Levi.We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.•We recorded this episode on Jan 16th, 2023. In it we mention our friend Jake Stratton Kent. The next day we found out Jake had passed that morning of the 17th. We have kept in the mention as we often reference him on the show, indeed he was one our inspirations and a huge fan and promoter of the show. We will deeply, deeply miss you, Jake. Thank you for being you, for encouraging us, for your inkshed, for holding the Work as more important than any ego, for striving to build the occulture you wanted to see, for being a friend. Give ‘em hell, Jake. This pint’s for you.  Radio Free Golgotha RSS

Episode 24: The Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas

This episode was recorded in 2022, and is now being released January 8, 2023 as part of our Epiphany Birthday-Resurrection, thanks to the sound interventions of Mark Steadman. Caveat past opinions, etc. In this special episode we are delighted to celebrate the marvels of the Feast of Michaelmas – from goose-giving to demon-corralling – as well as of course saluting the Archangel Saint Michael himself in all his protective grace and god-like-ness. In so saluting, we consider the topic of Angel Magic more broadly, touching on Hebrew angelology, Arabic aerial spirits, the Notary Art’s infusions of divine knowledge, grimoiric angel-summoning, and more. For balance of course, this episode is also brought to you by discussion of the Wicked One Without Worth, Belial, a chief of devils, a prince of darkness – indeed, the leader of the Sons of Darkness – and a king of evil, expanding on this infernal CV with consideration of this spirit’s appearances across demonological corpuses (corpi?).This episode is also brought to you by celebration of the various warming and warding virtues of the Mustard seed; as well as the magical meanings and utilities of that soothing dew of heaven, the mineral Pearl; as well as by discussion of the dead magician,  Theosophist author Dion Fortune aka Violet Mary Firth, taking into account both her remarkable accomplishments and lasting influence as well as her more controversial and downright problematic statements and beliefs.  This episode is even brought to you by (further!) discussion of the Mercurial geomantic figure of Conjunctio and its counterparted Odu (meji) Iwori; as well as by the mighty and paternal Arcana of the Emperor.We hope you enjoy this episode’s celebration of the interplay of the angelic and the demonic across time and space!

Episode 23: The Feast of Michaelmas

Merry Feast of the Virgin of Regla, dear Golgothans! From across the seas we cast this pod, to you and yours from us and ours. This episode brought to you by the Virgin of the Rule and her oceanic reflection in the Mother of Fishes, Yemaya; and indeed the bathic depths of Leviathan; the soothing balms of Aloe; the mineral moonmetal of Silver; the magical mystifications of Demonization (for what could be more demonic than an American spelling?); the geomantic figure of Fortuna Minor and its counterparting Odu Irosun (so good we chatted it twice on the show now); the Tarot trump The High Priestess; and, for our not-alive magician, Prospero, you know, from off of The Tempest. Once again, we're ever so grateful to Mark for his keen editor's ear and technical 'casting wizardry in making us sound like proper podpeople. And we are also incredibly grateful to you dear listener, for continuing to join us in unbottling our bobbing messages, conversation, and  tangents on tangents on rippling tangents. Please to be enjoying dear friends, enemies, and those as yet undeclared - from heck's blue yonder we sashay at thee!We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

This episode brought to you by the Virgin of the Rule and her oceanic reflection in the Mother of Fishes, Yemaya; and indeed the bathic depths of Leviathan; the soothing balms of Aloe; the mineral moonmetal of Silver; the magical mystifications of Demonization (for what could be more demonic than an American spelling?); the geomantic figure of Fortuna Minor and its counterparting Odu Irosun (so good we chatted it twice on the show now); the Tarot trump The High Priestess; and, for our not-alive magician, Prospero, you know, from off of The Tempest. Once again, we're ever so grateful to Mark for his keen editor's ear and technical 'casting wizardry in making us sound like proper podpeople. And we are also incredibly grateful to you dear listener, for continuing to join us in unbottling our bobbing messages, conversation, and  tangents on tangents on rippling tangents. Please to be enjoying dear friends, enemies, and those as yet undeclared - from heck's blue yonder we sashay at thee!We will continue to update the website and our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/radiofreegolgotha" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">facebook page</a> when footnotes become available.  This episode is also available on <a href="https://youtu.be/X04iBzBIysc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Youtube</a> and <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radio-free-golgotha-radio-free-golgotha/id1193023651" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2YjY0YUnCCiO06QQk9u4N7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spotify</a>. <a href="https://www.radiofreegolgotha.com/episodes?format=rss" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Radio Free Golgotha RSS</a>

We were – indeed, remain! – exceptionally fortunate to have been joined for this ossuary celebration by Katarina Pejović, our official spokeswitch for Balkan saint-bothering, dragon magic, and much much more.  This very special episode of RFG is brought to you by discussion of the wandering deputy of Lucifer and/or Belzebuth the demon Agliarept aka Agaleraptarkimath aka Agataraptor, and even comparative conversing about his counterparted (and similarly-moustachio'd) spirit of Quimbanda, Exu Mangueira. This episode is also brought to you by reverence for Datura, the Mother of Thousands that sparks visionary conflagrations with its witch-flight rocket fuel; by exploration of the occult virtues of the Bezoar, that apotropaic panacea-fruit of the union of animalia and mineralia; by consideration of the deep and occasionally divisive distinctions between Sorcery and Witchcraft in their manifold cultural expressions and operative practicalities.This episode is even brought to you by the geomantic figure of Conjunctio, and its similarly-shaped Odu (meiji) Iwori; by the pendulous arcana of The Hanged Man; and in midnight revelry for the sciomantic power and influence of the Witch of Endor, who raised the shades of the dead even though the priests say she shouldn’t’ve…We hope you enjoy this especially necromantic episode of relics and resurrections!We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube and Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 12: The Feast of Saint Justina of Padua

Merry Cyprianmas, dear hearts! In honour of Cyprian of Antioch, infamous patron saint of necromancings, we have resurrected a big old extended episode from the RFG crypts of unpublished recordings, celebrating the Sorcerer Saint Cipriano! Along the boneyard way we sing the praises of the mineral Jet, the herb Asafoetida aka Devil's Dung, the geomantic figure Cauda Draconis and the Odu Ogunda, the Major Arcana The Magician, the magics of Grimoires, and the devil Hael and the Exu of Quimbanda - the spirit said to have taught Cyprian his black magics - Exu Meia Noite. Salve! We recorded this Cyprianmas episode back in 2018. One of the reasons this one has laid in deathless slumber, awaiting reanimation, for so long was a disconcerting shift in sound quality between the two sessions in which it was recorded; the first half of the episode was captured live, the second over the interwebs. In fact, you might notice our sudden shift towards various indeterminable continental accents in the Sean Connery sibilants (we decided to favor the lithp rather than be inaudible). Perhaps the Sorcerer Saint reminds even your esteemed hosts to never take themselves too seriously….  But mostly, we are again incredibly grateful to Mark Steadman for his excellent sound wizardry in making this 'cast as listenable a pod as possible out of our old bad recording habits! Other than spruced up sound, we have decided to chop up this resurrected zombie of an episode as little as possible and present as is, was, and shall be. We hope you don't miss the new theme tune too much. Once again, the opinions expressed in these recordings are four years old at this point, and we reserve the right - like any four year-old - to abandon them in a Walmart car park if they now prove overly disagreeable or obnoxious... We sincerely hope, on this blessed Feast of Cyprian and Justina, that you find something shared, something inspiring, or simply something quite interesting in our resuscitated breath, banter, and bones to pick. May looking over your old work inspire you to new; and if you’re lucky (like us!), with a lithp. We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube,  Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Radio Free Golgotha RSS

Episode 11: The Feast of Saints Cyprian and Justina

Brought to you by the Feast of the Saint Roch; the Demon Frucissiere and the Spirit Exu do Cemitério; the Geomantic Figure Fortuna Minor (and the Odú Irosún); the mineral Carnelian; the herb Rue; the broad sweep of traditions and folklore of Plague Magic; the Tarot Trump of the Sun; and the Four Thieves (of Vinegar fame) for our Dead Magicians.This is our first episode with a guest! The lovely Mallorie Vaudoise of Italian Folk Magic is with us for this episode- it was amazing to have her in the conversation and we hope to have her again. This now opens up the possibilities of more Golgoth-a-trois, which is very exciting for us. Please forgive our sound quality on this one- sitting around a table left the directional pick up on the mic just a little confused sometimes. You can hear Al loud and clear though (Fortuna Minor- small blessings!). We will continue to update the website and our facebook page when footnotes become available. This episode is also available on Youtube,  Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Episode 5: The Feast of Saint Lucy

Our third episode had to be divided into two parts, we ended up with broad topics and broad tangents- this is PART TWO of TWO. These twin episodes are brought to you by the Feast of Candlemas: the Saint and Goddess Brigid; the Emperor/Angel/Fallen One/Exu Lucifer, Working with Dead Magicians (a topic finally discussed!)- specifically Adam and Eve in this episode; the herb Dandelion, the mineral Milkstone, the Geomantic Figure of Acquisitio (and the Odú Ofún), the Art and Practice of Candle Magic, and the Tarot Trump of the Star...This is one of our "missing episodes"- We learned the hard way about back up with these episodes, as our files were corrupted and lost for the better part of the year. The sound quality is not as high as we would like, but here at the end of 2017, we are happy to *finally* present the long, long lost Candlemas episode(s). Cheers! (Forgive any repeated material... we left some things in for broader concept discussion while editing these even after the December episode - even *we* forgot what we talked about during these episodes because they were lost for so long!)This page will be updated soon with episode footnotes, please please bear with us as we continue to update the website and our facebook page. This episode is also available on Youtube,  Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
