ALEXX BOLLEN in "SCRIBE" PRAGMAGICK #19
SLITHER HITHER WIERDOS & WITCHES, on this episode of the PRAGMAGICK Cast...
Novelist & OG Caster of Pods
Alexx Bollen!
EPISODE TOPICS:
• Grandfather of Weirdo Podcasting • Writing a Novel • "Occult Mencias" • Depression / Mental Illness • Rebirth / Hero's Journey • Narrative Structure • Grey Jedi
EPISODE REMARKS:
Alexx Bollen, although this being his first appearance on Pragmagick, is a seminal figure in this podcast's biography. Not only was he gracious enough to have a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Keats on his infamous Alexxcast just short of a year ago, but he became a guiding light and fixture for me in this medium. He's a godfather in the podcasting world, mind you, and it's about time I kiss the ring! In all seriousness, the Grey Jedi, Alexx, and I chat about his hyper sigil–his debut novel–Periphery, and what it means to bleed onto the page, mental anguish and all and birth a beautiful work from sordid affairs. He's created a living/breathing talisman in Periphery, and we chat how the book is an introductory rite into the realms of magicks, constructed with the intention of illuminating constructs and conduits upon each read. And it's a damn good narrative, too.
I had to cut down the almost-2-hour chat (sacrificing some of our nerdiest Star Wars jaunts only) but you can hear the full, unedited discussion via the W†H Patreon for just a dollar subscription! Stay tuned for our live DISRUPTION GENERATOR reading, celebrating Eric Millar's half-way point in the construction of the oracular device, as a bonus episode later this week! (Already available in the unedited Patreon episode.) So slither hither weirdos, witches and Grey Jedi alike as Alexx Bollen and I discuss what it means to be a magickal scribe!
