  • S2 #50 / Vic Hyland on Music, Magic and NLP

    S2 #50 / Vic Hyland on Music, Magic and NLP
    Nov 20 2024
    In this episode of Spirit Box, I spoke with Vic Hyland, musician, teacher, and author, about creativity, NLP, and music’s connection to magic. We delve into Vic's book 'Music Magic and NLP' wherein Vic shared his insights into the "cut-up" technique—a method popularised by David Bowie and William S. Burroughs—that involves rearranging words and phrases to unlock creative flow. This approach, Vic explains, extends beyond music and can spark ideas in all kinds of fields by tapping into the subconscious and reshaping our perceptions. We also discussed "sliding door moments," those pivotal life junctures where a single event can change everything, often guided by a mix of art, intention, and subconscious forces. Vic shared examples from music, showing how songs and symbols sometimes act as "hyper sigils"—shaping reality in unexpected ways. This led us to explore creativity’s link to manifestation and consciousness. While I’m somewhat skeptical about manifesting through thoughts alone, Vic and I agreed on the importance of engaging the subconscious meaningfully. He emphasized that true creativity requires shifting between “gears” of consciousness, balancing conscious effort with subconscious flow. In the Plus show, we delved into the deeper purpose of creativity, beyond entertainment or self-expression. For both of us, art, music, and storytelling aren’t just about creating; they’re about transforming consciousness, connecting people, and deepening our understanding of the world. Vic illustrated this beautifully, noting that creativity was once about gathering together, changing perspectives, and tapping into something magical that logic alone can't touch. In a world increasingly skeptical of the mystical, it was refreshing to reflect on the power of art to reconnect us with wonder and a sense of the unseen.

  • S2 #48 / Dr Lenni George & Dr Nat Clegg on The House of Zophiel

    S2 #48 / Dr Lenni George & Dr Nat Clegg on The House of Zophiel
    Nov 1 2024

    Welcome to Spirit Box! In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Lenni George and Dr. Nat Clegg, founders of the House of Zophiel. Based in Turin, Lenni and Nat organize and run magical and esoteric-themed events for the curious and the seeker alike. Nat shares his thoughts on using creativity as a bridge between the conscious and subconscious, and explores the difference between Art and Creativity. Lenni focuses on “green work” in gardens to access magic and healing, and we'll also discuss her Moon Garden, dedicated to the Goddess Hekate.

    Turin itself is a city steeped in magical history, known as one of the vertices of both the black and white magic triangles in Europe. It's said to be a crossroads of spiritual energy, with links to both divine light and occult darkness. The city’s esoteric traditions stretch back centuries, making it a key location for those interested in the occult. We’ll explore how these magical forces influence the work of the House of Zophiel and the city’s lasting mystical legacy.

    Additionally, in the Plus show, we’ll dive into their psychic questing in the UK and beyond, exploring healing places and landscapes where tragedies have occurred—and much more.
