#25 / Julian Vayne psychedelic entities and experiences, ritual and healing.

In this episode we welcome Julian Vayne to discuss psychedelic entities, the purpose of ritual in relation to psychedelics and the significant case for psychedelics as medicines.  Julian Vayne is an occultist and author of numerous books, essays, journals, 'zines and articles in both the academic and esoteric press.  A regular speaker at events, and facilitator of retreats and workshops, his work is informed by chaos magic and lineages within Wicca and Tantra. Julian is a co-organizer of the psychedelic conference Breaking Convention, and sits on the academic board of The Journal of Psychedelic Studies. Julian facilitates psychedelic ceremony, as well as providing one-to-one psychedelic integration sessions and support. He is the author of the celebrated Getting Higher: The Manual of Psychedelic Ceremony.  Since 2011 he has been sharing his work through The Blog of Baphomet and is the curator of the Youtube series My Magical Thing. The thumbnail art is by the great visionary artist Alex Grey whose work we briefly touch on. Those of you of a certain age and with excellent music taste will recognise his work from the Tool album art for the album Lateralus.
