In the First Segment, Ki’a Dragon makes some corrections and talks a little about safety in Chemgnosis.  Then he raves about some of the kick ass tunes he has been finding on Jamendo.

In the Second Segment, K.D. further clarifies something he has teased about on two podcasts without actually talking about…why precisely he has not yet thrown a spell for locating employment.  Then K.D. reads out some interesting emails he exchanged with a listener about Astral Travel.  Then some musical ravings about the Diablo Swing Orchestra.

In the Third Segment, K.D. stops being an old lady about Chemgnosis and reminds everyone that pot is not what he was talking about in Chemgnosis warnings.

In the Fourth Segment K.D. talks a little about Pop Culture and Magical Icons and then he reads the piece, “Good, Wholesome Fun”:

Just what your where looking for
Good, wholesome fun

The sort of fun that is safe for kids
Good, clean fun

The kind of thing you won’t offend grandma with
Nice, clean fun

Things you have done before and no one got pregnant
Nice, platonic fun

Sanitized and latex coated for your protection
Bland, platonic fun

No politics, sexuality or starving children please
Bland, conscience free fun

Romance, but no nakedness
Passion, but no penetration
Drama, but no consequence
Combat, but no blood
Warfare, but no civilian causalities

Action, but no reaction

A spectacle of nothingness unbound with pretty lights and car crashes

Knowledge and fact pureed and filtered by corporate sponsorship

Awareness stimulated and focused by flashy graphics and the sounds of explosions

And so we build this place upon the astral plane with our group mind
Upon this holy spot in the human mind and soul called the imagination
Here at this sacred space that justifies humankind’s continued existence within the void

A carnival of unknowing and uncaring fantasy to push away our daily pain
Where instead should stand the citadels of peace, learning and enlightenment

Well fuck it
I am building my castle right here in the center of it all
I am installing my speaker system on the parapets
and I hope to be breaking the local noise ordinances soon

Sure you can keep the carnival
I ain’t giving up my DVR
Sure you can have moments of mindless fun
I love Adult Swim
South Park makes me laugh until I weep sometimes

But for fuck’s sake, can be build something substantial once in a while?

In the First Segment, Ki’a Dragon talks about good sex as motivation to podcasting. The mood for the evening is hard celtic rap and celtic heavy metal. Buckle up with the weirdness. Hillbillies and other Metalhead Celtomania in this episode.

In the Second Segment, KD talks about books from his occult library and how they have affected his progress as a mage.

In the Third Segment, KD bemoans being out of synch with the Pagan Podcasting Universe by a few months. He talks about some of his favourite podcasts and what tops his ITunes podcasting list.

In the Fourth Segment, KD talks seriously about his take on the weirdness that was the end of Episode 8.  It all distills into a description of recent conversations with Lady Eris and how she utilizes pop culture metaphors to explain why he should quit pouting and keep talking.

In the Fifth Segment, Ki’a Dragon has some brief musings about the intersection between Chaos Magic and Astrology.

Musical Notes:
“Home”, Beltaine’s Fire from the album “Weapon of the Future”

In the First segment Ki’a Dragon addresses email, blog comments, new bigger file size, addendum to guns “kill people and break things” (they also are used to hunt) and then K.D. talks to a commenter who asked about how and why my wife and I decided to start a family.

In the Second Segment K.D.  tackles the concept of how a Chaos Mage goes about choosing their magical paradigms, pantheons, tools and rituals. Then he talks about his wife reading to their son from Catherine Valente’s fantasy fiction.  I apologize for mistakenly calling her Catherine Tate several times.  Sorry Catherine, I love your work.

In the Third Segment Ki’a Dragon talks Magical Intent and its direct correlation to Hypnosis case studies.  How Intent is everything, from spells to hypnotic trance.

In the Fourth Segment it all gets very weird.  A Journal to Dragonson that went sideways when Eris decided to interject.  It gets pretty out there.  I am still wondering how I did it.  There goes half the audience…*sigh*.
