EPISODE NOTES:
This podcast is and always has been about the creation of your own folklore, of your own mythology, and I couldn't ask for a better example than the DISRUPTION GENERATOR.
This will be somewhat of an unboxing and an exit interview for a project I care very deeply about. You see, Eric J. Millar created a bibliomantic oracle, The Disruption Generator, birthed with the help of our art collective WE THE HALLOWED. Monday through Friday, for months, he would use a random word generator to illustrate and devise a succinctly poetic meaning for that very word. He would then post those illustrations, all 120 of them, via WeTheHallowed.org
I am proud to have helped midwife this stunning project, if only just a little, and it means so much to me how absolutely synchronous this custom "tarot" has become. And guess what? I use it every fucking day, to magnanimous results.
You've probably noticed my thematic episode art? Those are DG components, divined to illustrate each interview I've had since it's publication. But more than just being able to use his brilliant illustrations, I've applied the arcana in my daily life. Whether it's a traditional 3 card reading as you would with tarot, or to cut myself out of a writing hole whilst working on my book, the DG has been absurdly relevant in the most metaphysical sense of the word. And it would be for you, too. How could it not? The project started with a question:
What can true randomness do once installed into the divination thought form?
The results are in, and they're brilliant. So far, the books, both hardcover and a portable paperback, have been a source of unmitigated inspiration to learned occultists and freewheelin' mages alike. It's free of academia, it's free of overthink, it's free. But not the books, mind you, those cost a little scratch and damn worth every penny: You can still get a special, limited edition hardcover with a custom reading and sigil from Eric until Friday, August 2nd. That's two more days for you listeners to nab one, and then they're gone. That two day extension is it, though. Of course, the brilliant paperback will be available in perpetuity. So join me as I reveal the most magickal talisman I've ever had the pleasure of seeing sowed.
