RU259: CHAWEON KOO PRESENTS “ANGELS, DEMONS & KETAMINE” This episode is a recording of a presentation by Chaweon Koo on “Angels, Demons & Ketamine” at Morbid Anatomy Museum online June 11, 2023. https://www.morbidanatomy.org Mysticism often involves sacred plants and mind-altering substances to aid in ritual journeying. The futurist version may also involve brain hacking via ketamine, mixed with the chaos magick and animism inherent in intense psychology modalities like EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Occultist and writer Chaweon Koo joins Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamson to discuss where bio-hacking, 8 esoteric body circuits, a scientist who talks to dolphins, and modern modes of inner journeying and magick intertwine. Chaweon Koo is a writer at the intersection of pop culture, the occult, and futurism. Her TikTok @chaweonkoo is one of the most popular occult accounts on the platform. She also interviews some of the most distinguished occultists and witches in the English-speaking world on her YouTube, Witches & Wine. Her book Spell Bound details her journey from an atheist witch into one of the most visible East Asian practitioners of both Eastern and Western occult traditions. https://beacons.ai/chaweonkoo The Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult series of events, curated by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson, is dedicated to exploring the intersections and integration of psychoanalytic theory, the creative arts, occult practices, and folk magic traditions. http://psychartcult.org Watch this event at our Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/836064582 Be sure to check out: RU236: CHAWEON KOO ON SPELL BOUND: A NEW WITCH’S GUIDE TO CRAFTING THE FUTURE Join me Tuesday, September 5 at 8PM London time for a presentation on “Freud and the Occult” by Vanessa Sinclair at The Last Tuesday Society / Victor Wynd Museum. https://www.thelasttuesdaysociety.org/event/freud-and-the-occult-by-dr-vanessa-sinclair/ Join us for 4 weeks for our class Harnessing the Magic and Creative Power of the Cut-up Method a la William Burroughs, David Bowie, Genesis P-Orridge, Led by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson, beginning September 10: https://www.morbidanatomy.org/classes/ Support the podcast at our Patreon where we post exclusive content every week, as well as unreleased material and works in progress, and a Discord server: https://www.patreon.com/vanessa23carl We also have a Substack where weekly content is posted: https://vanessa23carl.substack.com Your support is GREATLY appreciated!
