Episode 32: Alison Chicosky on Practical Magic and PGM Spells
Our second episode of 2023, and it was a wonderful conversation with PGM and practical occult practitioner Alison Chicosky. Alison is the author of “The Secrets of Helios: Unlocking the Practical Uses of PGM IV.1596-1715” which was recently released by Hadean Press. She is a PGM practitioner, magician, and founder of the PracticalOccult.com website. We had a lovely chat about the nature of Egyptian magic, obtaining knowledge from Spirits (while developing relationships with Them,) and deepening our connections to ritual in everyday life. I look forward to having her on the show again, and I hope you enjoy this conversation!
