#62 / Aidan Wachter, on writing, the somnambulist self & the authentic self.

For episode 62 we welcome back author, magican and talismanic
jeweller, Aidan Wachter.

We discuss he last book Weaving Fate and Aidan’s
writing process, including the importance of flow and how his
work is made up of broken pieces which makes sense at a later
point.


We talk magic as a tool for altering future probabilities and
ones past through ritual and manipulation of the mind and the
world. Magic and sorcery are ways of being in the world and
Aidan's writing offers us his way without conditions or
constraints.


Aidan’s work helps anchor us around the understanding that our
lives are our own. That we can be our own real time biographers
and we can write a better story. He also gives us a good toolkit
for doing so in both of his books, Six Waysand
Weaving Fate.


In the Plus show we discuss ‘naming’ and coming of age and
the idea of  ‘the feral self’. I also manage to go down a
rabbit hole around my confusion with billionaire's obsession with
Super Yachts. I’m not even sure how my brain got there...
