96. RETROSPEKTIVE: A Look Back at Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth w/ Tom Banger

Lux Occult

Tom Banger https://www.instagram.com/tombanger/?hl=en joins Luxa https://bsky.app/profile/luxastrata919.bsky.social to discuss the history, magic and exploits of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth. TOPY's work (with things like the cut-up method, experimenting with non-structuralist magic, art as magic, the use of sexual fluids in ritual, experimenting with language, experimenting with gender and identity, and more) has been a big influence on the practices of many modern magicians and artists and on modern occultism and art, at large. Tom explains how, although TOPY is often lumped in with Chaos Magic, there are some differences in approach that can be identified. We talk about organizing magical groups, what work and what didn’t and more!

Luxa shares thoughts about their own experiences in magical groups as well as listener mail and an update about The Green Mushroom Project https://greenmushroomproject.com/ and Void House- creating consent forward magical spaces for conducting group work both in person and online, investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent and providing consent education to magically inclined people. Much Love!
