In this episode, Charlie and Brian continue their study of _Druidcraft_ by Philip Carr-Gomm, diving into Chapter 3: "The Ways of Love." This discussion explores the foundational role of love in magic and spirituality, emphasizing that magic is not just about rituals and incantations but about cultivating deep connections to the energies of the cosmos. They challenge the traditional binary gender frameworks often used in magic, drawing from Kabbalah and Irish mythology to illustrate broader, more inclusive perspectives on divine union.
The episode highlights the myth of Angus and Caer Ibormeith, an Irish love story that illustrates the power of yearning and transformation. Charlie and Brian also discuss the importance of recognizing subtle energies—like love, devotion, and passion—as integral forces in magical practice. They caution against the dangers of jumping too quickly into magical work without the proper foundational understanding, drawing parallels between learning magic and learning to swim.
Additionally, they offer insights on gendered language in spiritual traditions, referencing the book _Queer Qabala_ for those looking to deconstruct traditional gendered metaphors in esoteric practices.
