The Practical Occult Podcast is about magic being real, actionable, and above all – practical. Join hosts Alison Chicosky and Alexander Moore of Practical Occult as they chat with guests about personal experiences with magic and give examples of techniques to try at home.
Today on the Practical Occult Podcast we interview Jeweler and Solomonic Magician John King IV. From the early Livejournal days, he has been opining, field reporting and collecting data on his experiments in Solomonic Magic. We sit down with this voice of many years, we discuss the focus on results and a glorious life an aspiring magician of any sort needs to have in order to achieve great things, the role of tools, cosmology and giving a genuine effort. John takes us through his adventures with less common grimoires such as the Book of Oberon and his thoughts on how truly powerful magic can truly change the world on a deeper level than most think.
