In this, our 5th instalment of the Hadean Podcast we welcome Sasha Ravitch, author of, ‘The Red Dreaded Spindle, An Astrolater’s Guide to the Stinger Stars of Scorpius’.

We discuss the nature of this form of Stellar Witchcraft, how one interacts with both the Planets and Stars as well as the ecology of Spirit which permeates the night sky, specifically the living relationship between the Witch and her initiation into the cultus of the Stinger Stars of Scorpius.

Sasha’s devotional guide weaves sanguinated silk threads into a web of research and observable phenomena, case studies and pattern-tracing, scryed-spirits and gnosis from visionary ecstasies. The scarlet ligatures of folklore and spirit-work featured within these pages trace a celestial blueprint through which one crafts and consecrates a devotional stellar fetish via the light-refracting arte of starry witchcrafting.

Together we delve into the texts of the PGM, their importance to modern practice, adaptability and application, discussing the history behind this fascinating collection of magical papyri and how the modern practitioner may develop and integrate them into their work.
