  • Beautifully human and inhuman

    Radical Elphame is one of the most thoughtful and poignant podcasts I've listened to. Chad is a gracious host and spins a web of connection and conversation that enchants, uplifts, and leads listeners to good questions. This is a must-listen for any curious karcists and anyone with a pull towards Fairy or experiences of Strangeness.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Raising the Dead with Corinne Boyer
Q: What makes your approach to trance work different from other teachings, and why do you favor bone tapping?
Corinne shares that bone tapping provides a stark, attention-grabbing rhythm that keeps participants present, arguing that it reduces pretense and makes trance accessible without elaborate setups, while still yielding meaningful results.
Raising the Dead with Corinne Boyer
Q: What drives your fascination with the devil and the witch's ointment, and how do you present these topics responsibly?
She describes the devil as an aggregate spirit with multiple forms and attributes, stressing nuanced understanding, historical context, and avoiding entheogen-centric framing, to honor the lived experiences of past practitioners.
Raising the Dead with Corinne Boyer
Q: How did you get involved with the publishing world and end up working with Troy Books?
Corinne explains she found opportunities through instructor networks and essays, pitched a sample chapter, and secured a two-book deal that grew into a trilogy, driven by her desire to present underexplored trees of folklore.
"The Good, the Bad, & the Faery" with Douglas Batchelor
Q: What inspired you to create the A Fistful o Fairies series and later Radical Elphame?
Douglas explains that the vastness of the fairy world, combined with experiences from Gordon White's course and other influences, compelled him to explore multiple facets of fairy lore, UFO connections, and ritual magic, leading to an ongoing, expansive project rather than a single episode.
28 Moons Later with J.M. Hamade
Q: What do you see as the essential value of the lunar mansions beyond talismanic use?
Beyond talismans, the lunar mansions offer a way to engage with multiplicity, storytelling, and cross-cultural knowledge—connecting imagination, spirit, and a creative practice that mirrors artistic process.
