Join us for a riveting episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST with Rachel True and Mat Auryn as we welcome special guest Damien Echols. Known for his harrowing time on death row under a false murder conviction due to the Satanic Panic, Damien shares how magick saved his life and his path of High Ceremonial Magick. We delve into his journey with magickal practice as a means of personal betterment and explore the relationship between magick and trauma. Mat and Damien bond over their admiration for Silver RavenWolf, discussing her impact on modern witchcraft and how she’s been vilified for being popular. This leads to a discussion of how we and younger generations approach the work of the elders before us. The episode takes a lighter turn as Rachel, Mat, and Damien chat about the wisdom and influence of Marie Kondo and her approach to decluttering and organizing. We also emphasize the importance of the impact we have on the people in our lives, both mundane and magickal. Damien highlights the responsibility that comes with magickal practice and the right use of energy versus draining uses of energy. We discuss how everyday interactions and magickal workings intertwine, influencing our communities and the collective consciousness. Don’t miss this deep and inspiring conversation.
