  • Synchromysticism and Magic: How To Get Better At Both

    Synchromysticism and Magic: How To Get Better At Both
    Apr 20 2026

    In this side quest from the Hospicing Modernity's Magic series, I make the case that

    • Synchromysticism is modernity's best available form of omen logic.
    • And that getting good at it is one of the more reliable ways to get good at magic.

    We'll cover

    • Seneca's distinction between the candle and the comet
    • The rise and decline of synchromysticism as a subculture.
    • Jung on the I Ching and psychoid archetypes.
    • The Māori concept of wairua.
    • And the practical toolkit.

    Show Notes

    • Chris Knowles on Cosmic Connections: Mystical Practices & Reality's Hidden Language.
    • Wearing Jung's Skin Like A Pelt.
    • Jake Kotze on The Higherside Chats.

    What happens to ayahuasca now? Lessons for modern magic
    Apr 11 2026

    Ayahuasca's peak cultural moment has been and gone.

    So what does she do now? And what are the lessons for western magic in the complex journey of this incredible plant teacher?

    I have some thoughts on all this mid-dieta, in the Upper Amazon.

    As usual, this one is also a YouTube video. You can see it here.

    • Here's the link to the Santa Rosa centre. (The website is a little weird but this is the place!)
    • Here's the piece I wrote after my first piñon blanco experience.
