Occult thinker and practitioner David Beth once made a vow to wait at least a decade before writing another book. "The Black Pilgrimage“ is the result of that promise. With the release of this tome as a springboard, we dive together with David into the dark, beautiful abyss. We touch upon themes of identity, integrity, and the dangerous desire to stay unaffected by the world. Can we embrace the world with all its imperfections, horrors and loss and stay porous in relation to it? Can we allow it to remain a mystery?

We’re starting a new thread in our podcast weave! "Epic Small Talk“ is basically conversations between performance storytellers and other myth workers on different mythological subjects. A deep dive into the nitty gritty of myth, if you will. And to bless any new project, we have to start by invoking and inviting trickster to open the landscape for us. Join performance storytellers Jo Blake and Dominic Kelly (UK) as well as your eternal hosts Mikael Öberg (SE) and Torgrim Mellum Stene (NO) in a delightful caper on the edge between right and wrong, the cracks, the openings, the thresholds, the grey areas of neither/nor where trickster resides and spins its dynamic dance. The image of trickster is seen from a wide range of perspectives, including in relation to the current state of the world. We invite you to the beginning. A beginning.

Our second episode on the Odinic path takes us to Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen, founder of Nordic Animism and initiate to Odin in the Candomblé tradition. We speak to him about his initiation to a Norse god in an Afro-Brazilian syncretistic context, about the nature of initation in general, and how the Odinic qualities of speaking something into being and insisting on the right story are crucial counterweights to our hypermodernistic and overly representational times. What is a right story? What is a wrong story? Can you destroy the sacred by making it too seen? Too available? Join us as we explore these themes guided by the guardian of knowledge.

Maria Kvilhaug, one of our favourite guests, has returned to "In the Borderlands“. She herself inhabits the liminal space between the scholar and the mystic and her deep delve analysis of ancient Norse poetry is always a delight to listen to.

From the vibrant wilderness of Big Sur in California, we are joined by multidisciplinary artist Fletcher Tucker. Through the music label Gnome Life Records and the organisation Wildtender his work is deeply related to the re-enchantment of the world and establishing relation and dialogue with the land, with other awarenesses, with the more-than-human.

For this episode, performance storyteller Torgrim Mellum Stene takes center stage as we talk about two of his current performances that both revolve around myth, history and time. Join us for a probing conversation on dreaming and waking, fact and vision, giving voice to the underdog, truth and that which is truer than truth – how layers of reality weave together to resonate in a way that reveals meaning and brings history into the here and now.

Io Saturnalia! In celebration of the Roman holiday of role reversal, gift giving and letting go, we take a closer look at the chained god Saturn/Cronus/Chronos. Putting on our saturnine glasses, we discuss his presence in myth, folklore, Lovecraft and most recently, in the Hollywood blockbuster movie "The Fantastic Four: First Steps“. Spoilers abound.

For our 60th episode, we weave words with DIY working class wizard Will Wright. Will is an occult artist, a narrative film maker and a magic practitioner. He finds himself at the intersection of many realms and subcultures and is the editor of acclaimed occult art zine Wyrd Zine, exploring contemporary shamanism, animism and visionary art. Here, in the Borderlands, we delve into a variety of diverse, yet interconnected, themes. Our lost relationship with the Neanderthals. The Cosmic Tree of Yggdrasil as an image of the human nervous system. Meetings with the fae and machine elves. A call to anarcho-animism. Stories of magic and wonder.

We are back after another hiatus! And this time we invite you to join us in a magical episode of Shakespearean trivia and artistic nerdgasms. We are joined by performing artist, storyteller and The Great Bard Afficionado Extraordinaire – Debs Newbold (UK/IR)! Debs has worked extensively with retelling Shakespeare’s plays as storytelling shows, having reached international acclaim with her versions of King Lear, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Lately, she has been wrangling the beast that is "The Tempest“ which is slowly entering its final form. With that play as a jumping off point we discuss what it means to be faithful in a process of artistic adaptation, and how revision can feel like a glorious act of rebellion that is yet somehow able to be encompassed and even welcomed by a canonical work of art.

David Beth has spent half a lifetime exploring the hidden aspects of consciousness, the malaise of the modern mind, the essences of divine archetypes and forms. We speak of how the Western World is a world only in concept, because it is based on safety, predictability and preconceived notions of what it should be. A reality based on human imposition. How do we re-establish a true relation with the world based on openness, listening and allowing, a world of never-ending creation, constantly making kosmos from kaos?

Maui, the taboo-thrashing sun-subduing demigod of the Pacific islands, takes center stage in this episode, a force of erupting and disruptive nature that has been haunting podcast host and performance storyteller Mikael Öberg for decades, demanding with increased intensity the making of a performance, a show, a narrative string of pearls. Mikael has finally relented, creating "Maui Trickster“, a storytelling show that just premiered in the UK. Come delve into the liminal space of culture hero cum trickster Maui. Together with us.

The traditions of the Yoruba people in modern day Nigeria transformed into the religions of Voodoo, Candomble and Santería in Haiti, Brazil and Cuba respectively. Valter Kinbom is an initiated omo aña (Son of the Drum Spirit), a ceremonial drummer in Santería rituals. Together we explore the technology of rhythm and the archetypal energies of the Orishas. Constantly guided by Eleggua, the Orisha of the treshold, the trickster spirit of paradox, the liminal, of both both/and and either/or.

"...set out again, with an oar on your shoulder, and travel to a country where people have never heard of the sea..." Returning guest and deep friend of the podcast, interdisciplinary performer and storyteller Jo Blake, is back! This time to invite us to look at Odysseus, the classical epitome of heroic masculinity, with new eyes. The story of Odysseus has always been a living companion story for Jo, though she is yet to tell it. We discuss how Odysseus' voyage goes beyond gender, teaches something profound about the nature of reality and relation, and can be seen as a valuable story of submission, humility and descension. And last but not least, why most modern retellings of the Odyssey often choose to leave out the actual ending.

How does a Swedish percussionist raised on Balkan music end up as a vodou queen in Ghana? That is a question Kristina Aspeqvist is more than happy to answer, in a free-flowing way. Our enthralling conversation of her professional and spiritual journey felt sometimes like jazz, sometimes like folk, sometimes transcendent. Just like her music.

We are delighted to welcome Laura Burns back into our podcast grotto. This multidisciplinary artist working within the vast mythopoetic landscape of relation to the invisible presences all around us, the more-than-human, the unknown, the forgotten and the lost, take us on a meandering journey on a free-flowing river of resonance. We speak of the need for cultural regeneration, of how languaging the world create realities and of mending the gaps in the ancestral field. And of much, much more. Welcome!
