Episode 93: Sorcery and the Master with Guest Robin Artisson

Tuesday March. 5, 2013 Live 8pm EST on www.para-x.com

Andrieh Vitimus and Jason M. Colwell welcome Robin Artisson to the show!

Robin Artisson has been studying folklore and supernaturalism and practicing sorcery– in the true historical meaning of the word- for 19 years now, which is far longer than most people said he’d survive. He’s from South Louisiana, of Bernician (Anglo-Pictish) heritage, but also of Irish, Cajun and Sicilian descent. He grew up in the shadow of the last home of active and accepted supernaturalism in the United States: New Orleans, and the entire hairy, scary regions far south.

Robin is an herbalist, a devoted deep ecologist and animist, and a skilled practitioner of trance-healing and divination. By this, we mean to say that Robin spends a good deal of time inducing altered states of consciousness whereby he may interact with extra-sensory reality for the purposes of finding guidance for himself or others, or for healing purposes. He performs these works as an Owl-Doctor or Witch, informed by the fund of Provenance and Traditional lore from our common past.

Robin is a learned holistic healer, augurist, reader of omens, and a skilled dream interpreter. He is passionately in love with chess, very dark ale, religious philosophy and debate, historical re-enactment activities, occult studies, historical books and research, systems theory, the Robin of Sherwood BBC series (that is not the source of his name, however) and writing. He is a father and husband, and a student of life.

Robin holds a BA in European History/Anthropology, an MA in Criminal Justice and Policy Science, and an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy. He currently works in the field of Trouble and Pernicious Mischief, all alongside his writing, of course. He has written (currently) five books and countless articles online and in various publications. Chances are, if you’ve hung around the “pagan” internet, (such that it is) you’ve heard of him.
