The Modern Magician - An Anthromancer Podcast

Paradigm Shift | A Conversation with Fairlie Theta

What do aeons, slenderman, the egregore of nations, pluto in capricorn, gamestop, NFTs, art history, environmental cynicism and manifestation have in common? Well, they all get talked about in this lovely conversation I had with my friend, Fairlie Theta. Fairlie is a professional astrologer and metaphysical influencer who crossed paths with me during Anthromancer's kickstarter [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danieljamesdrake/anthromancy/description] campaign last year. I reached out to hear some of her thoughts on the blockchain revolution taking the world by storm, and what kinds of things she thinks might happen in the years to come. You can follow Fairlie @fairlietheta [https://www.instagram.com/fairlietheta] on instagram and check out That Astrologer, Fairlie Theta [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpWCgFOgskHET6BRX5Gpb5Q] on youtube! As usual, follow all things Anthromancer @anthromancy [https://www.instagram.com/anthromancy], pre order the Anthromancer board game spiritual experience at Anthromancer.com [https://anthromancer.com/], and support the life of the project at Patreon.com/anthromancy [https://www.patreon.com/anthromancy].

Politics is Dead, Long Live Cryptocurrency (Akashic Transmission 001)

The Modern Magician podcast is a new experiment for me, and this episode is a bit of a different format than the first. This episode contains a raw audio file from one of my many 'flows', in which I openly ponder some of the things most recently enchanting me - in this case, it's the flaws I see in 'political maximalism', or the belief that we can meaningfully address issue like climate change and social injustice through the apparatus of legacy political structures (like so-called 'Democracy', which I think is a nice ideal but seems to groan and collapse under it's own inherent corruptibility). Instead, I suggest that to address structural issues in the world we need not look at top down impositions of someone else's idea of justice, but rather, at technical solutions to the very incentive structures which give rise to the whole of civilization. Cryptocurrency subverts the legacy incentives that brought us here, and as a result, I believe it has the potential to give birth to something new, sustainable, and equitable. This raw format will eventually fit into my broader 'Akashic Antenna Hypothesis' (look for an essay with that title in the coming weeks), where I try to harvest some content out of my own compulsive audio recording. In addition, I'm working on a few interviews and other kinds of episodes. Feedback is always appreciated. If you'd like to support the Anthromancer project, please take a look at Patreon.com/Anthromancy and consider becoming a patron. If you're interested in the Anthromancer board game/spiritual experience, there's still time to preorder it from Anthromancer.com (to be released later this year). And, of course, if you'd like to keep an eye on this madman's ravings, follow me on twitter @danieljdrake . Hope to hear from you soon! Be Moved.

Bitcoin Revolution: The Metaphysics of Cryptocurrency

In the debut episode of the Modern Magician podcast, I discuss the metaphysical evils and wonders of money, and teach the listener how cryptocurrency works, and how it subverts the old monetary system on a primordial level.
