    Episodes Explore:

    • Spirituality: We talk awakening, divination, alchemy, magic, and energy… and navigate the complexities of these mystical concepts, including issues of whitewashing and appropriation that can obscure or even negate their truth. This podcast embraces a hopeful philosophy that honors magic while also critically examining it, and debunks common skeptical critiques that themselves may be entangled in colonization, to offer a nuanced philosophical understanding of these profound spiritual dimensions.
    • Music: Jane brings an extensive education in the field of music, including multiple graduate degrees and hours of written and released original music, to the table as we discuss how societal structures estrange us from our own musicality and discourage us from realizing that our music is magical. This podcast encourages us to reclaim our own musical energy, and gives practical advice for doing so.
    • Philosophy: We explore the depths of knowledge, meaning, and the divine, guided by principles of semiotics, intersectionality, and critical theory, among other frameworks. This podcast invites listeners to ponder life's deepest questions from diverse philosophical perspectives.
    • Politics & Beyond: We navigate through intersections of politics, society, and spirituality, offering unique perspectives and critical analysis. Drawing inspiration from thinkers like Audre Lorde, Kimberle Crenshaw, Michel Foucault, and Judith Butler, among many others, and in light of the transformative potential of the Age of Aquarius, we explore the interconnectedness of these elements that shape and influence our world.

    With a blend of introspection, wisdom, and a touch of magic, Aquarian Music Witch: The Podcast is your guide to an eclectic, thought-stirring journey. Tune in for a symphony of ideas and a magical brew of enlightenment.

  • AMWPod S1E27 | Oops! All Philosophy: Conversation with Will Cougar

    AMWPod S1E27 | Oops! All Philosophy: Conversation with Will Cougar
    Jun 12 2024

    In this episode of "Aquarian Music Witch: The Podcast," Jane and Will dive deeper into the world of philosophy, exploring themes that challenge the traditional boundaries of the discipline.

    Join us as we discuss the often-overlooked perspectives within academic philosophy, starting with feminism and critical theory. Why are these crucial frameworks not more prominently featured in philosophy courses? Jane and Will share their insights and experiences, proposing alternative approaches to pedagogy that could create a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment.

    We then navigate the complex terrain of what constitutes the philosophical canon. Who decides what is considered essential reading, and what voices are left out? This conversation naturally leads us to postmodernism, examining how this movement questions and deconstructs established norms and truths.

    And of course, no philosophical discussion would be complete without mentioning Nietzsche. We discuss some of his most polemical ideas, including the notion that God is dead, and Jane explains how this led them to treat life itself as a work of art.

    Tune in for a thought-provoking episode that encourages you to question the status quo and consider the broader spectrum of ideas that shape our understanding of philosophy.

  • AMWPod S1E26 | Witchcraft and Queerness

    AMWPod S1E26 | Witchcraft and Queerness
    Jun 5 2024

    Welcome to "Aquarian Music Witch: The Podcast." In this episode, we dive into the intersection of witchcraft and queerness, honoring Pride month by exploring the historical and cultural ties between these two realms.

    The episode examines how witchcraft has often been a label for those considered sexually "other" or non-normative by society, and for otherness more broadly. Through stories of figures like Joan of Arc, Sister Benedetta Carlini, and Maria of Ximildegui, we trace connections between queer experiences, behaviors, and stereotypes, and accusations of witchcraft. In the conclusion, we explore how reclaiming magic and witchcraft can be an act of self-empowerment.
