Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
28 Moons Later with J.M. Hamade
Q: How do tropical and sidereal approaches differ in practice, and is one clearly superior for divination?
Both systems have their own efficacy, and astrology should be seen as a form of divination that depends more on tradition, ancestry, and personal resonance than on one universal method; use what works best for you.
Here for Heresy with Joanna Tarnawska
Q: When did magic become real for you?
Joanna explains that magic has always been present in her life, rooted in early spirit encounters and a somatic, experiential sense of life force rather than purely intellectual understanding.
The Home Cultus with Briar
Q: What is the role of indigenous and syncretic deities in building a home cultus?
Indigenous Gaulish deities anchor the cultus to place and local needs, while syncretic figures show continuity with the broader Gaulish world through Interpretatio Romana, allowing gods to remain meaningful across cultural interfaces; both help keep the home open to exchange while grounded in local terrain.
The Home Cultus with Briar
Q: How would you describe the home cultus?
The home cultus is a small, ritual life of a household centered on the hearth, focused on a lived relationship with the land and local spirits rather than reconstructing public pantheons; it emphasizes modest offerings, thresholds, and everyday acts that keep peace with neighbors and place.
