Our Guest this week, Donald Michael Kraig

We continue our occult exploration this week with seminal author Donald Michael Kraig. Donald is the author of the best-selling titles: ‘Modern Magick’ and ‘Modern Sex Magick‘, and has recently authored his first novel ‘The Resurection Murders‘. This is our longest interview to date, kept at its almost full original length because we enjoyed Don’s company so much.

This week we discuss: Being a ‘modern magician’, Sex Magick, Tantra, Initatory orders, Occult novels, secret rituals of certain orders, how a magickal order should survive the information age, and much more.

    Ken & Co,

    This is my favorite episode so far! I instinctively avoided Kraig’s books in my occult research, as so many treatises on “post/modern magic(k)” tend to be pure fluff (at best), but I so enjoyed this interview that I ran out and picked up “Modern Magick” as soon as I was finished listening. I sure hope you have him back on the show soon!
