EP10 Sex, Death, and Weed: Gabriela Herstik - a podcast by Aliza Kelly

Aliza Kelly meets Gabriela Herstik, Los Angeles-based witch, author, and columnist. Gabriela shares her ideas about witchcraft, and defines magick as "energy + action + intention." Aliza asks Gabriela about her thoughts on the infamous occultists, Aleister Crowley and Anton LaVey. The two discuss whether it's possible to separate the art from the artist — a complicated topic in the "post #MeToo" era. They also discuss the distinction between creating work to share versus from ego, and the difficulty maintaining authenticity on the Internet. Finally, Aliza and Gabriel explore weed magik, alcohol magick (does it exist?), sex and love magick, and the power of being single.

Note: At 17:40, Aliza references The Goodly Spellbook: Olde Spells for Modern Problems by Lady Passion and Diuvei
