Summary

EPISODE #853 SOURCE MAGIC Richard welcomes an author/photographer/lecturer who explores the source magic that flows beneath the surface of culture and occulture throughout the ages, while offering a “magical-anthropological” journey from ancient Norse shamanism to the modern magick of occultists like Genesis P-Orridge. He looks at how human beings relate to and are naturally attracted to magic. He examines in depth the consequences of magical practice and how the attraction to magic can be corrupted by both religious organizations and occult societies. GUEST: Carl Abrahamsson writes fiction, and material about the arts & entertainment, esoteric history, occulture, as well as artist portraits for the international market. He lectures on all of the aforementioned subjects at art schools, universities, events, symposia, and conferences, and also works with filmmaking, in publishing, photography, and music.

0:36.0	And welcome once again to Strange Planets.
0:38.0	On this episode, we're going to delve into magic and the origin of art, science and culture.
0:45.0	Let me just crib here briefly from the back cover of a brand new book by Carl Abramsson.
0:51.0	Since the dawn of time, magic is the node around which all human activities and culture revolve.
0:58.0	As magic entered the development of science, art, philosophy, religion, myth and psychology,

1:10.0	And as I mentioned, the author, Carl Abramsson, is with us, he writes fiction, material about the arts and entertainment, esoteric history,

2:05.0	And that's, you know, technically, but also as a phenomenon, it's something that is very, very interesting.
2:11.0	It becomes sort of my obsession in a way. This merger signifies when something has moved from being occult, meaning hidden, meaning ostracized,
2:23.0	meaning rejected, meaning perhaps staying outside, staying hidden because of self-preservation.
2:30.0	But anyway, this movement into perhaps not the mainstream, but also the mainstream, but mainly into culture, our general culture.
