Lux Occult Podcast Episode 30:
I Dream, Therefore I Am w/ Asher from Ad Hoc History (Explaining Chaos Magick to My Brother pt. 4)
Join Luxa for this special one-year anniversary edition of the show as she speaks with her brother, Asher (host of Ad Hoc History), in a conversation about dreams and how they can be useful to us in our waking lives and our magical practices. Asher shares his experiences as a prolific dreamer and the pair talk about Jungian dream analysis. Also making an appearance are Decartes and Ramanujan. What is the purpose of dreaming? How have people’s dreams played an important part in the events of history? What can you learn from your dreams? Also featuring new music by Matt Marble, and message at the end of the episode about a Sound Sigil track for The Green Mushroom’s first birthday that you can contribute to, as well as a sample of what Luxa has mixed for the track thus far. Thanks for an amazing year! Much Love.

A Simple Breakfast Magick Operation:
Note: I have written this using an egg. If your diet does not include eggs, I suggest writing the sigil on an orange or banana, or using a sauce to write it on your prepared meal.
You will need:
- A sigil or sigils representing your intent
- An egg
- Your beverage of choice
- A small candle with holder
- A drinking cup marked with the sigil/s (a post-it or masking tape will work)
- Something to write on the the candle and egg with
- Your magickal journal and writing utensil
Instructions:
- Preheat skillet.
- Banish and cleanse.
- Write sigil/s on the egg and candle.
- Light candle and meditatie on the flame, allowing your vision to maintain a soft focus. You may hold the egg in your hand while you do this or place it near the candle.
- Optional: When ready, place the candle near the skillet. I prefer to do this in somewhat low light, but any conditions should work just fine.
- While concentrating on the sigil, break the egg into the skillet and observe the patterns it makes while it cooks. Prepare the egg any way you prefer, keeping an eye out for any symbols or patterns you might see. Note these in your journal if they appear.
- Serve egg as desired alongside your beverage of choice from the cup labeled with the sigil/s. If the candle is still lit, place it near where you are eating.
Note: Because I typically do this operation to draw energies in, I do not banish after it. Depending on your intent, you may wish to modify this.
If you try this operation, I would love to hear how it went for you!
