“When I began this project, these internal walls were related to issues surrounding:A) A desire to be heard, seen, and understood but feeling blocked by fear and shameB) The need for connection to and expression of sexuality and sexual identityC) Philosophical questions about the existence and nature of "self" or "selves" and where this "quantity" might be "located"And with that, Luxa Strata embarked on a brave audiomantic work, GRATUS ANIMUS.  GRATUS straddles that liminal space between trauma and elation, existing in sonic reverie as a journalistic testament to understanding both.

Since I've been privy to Luxa's wonderful podcast, Lux Occult, she has been a beacon to the anarchic magicks I hold so dear. Whether it's her incredible podcast or her work with the Green Mushroom Project, Luxa has become an invaluable voice to those looking to get strange and stranger still. I can't quantify, in words, the amount of respect I have for her commitment to dive deep with a smirk, to cast a creative wide birth, and to usher a communal space for those of us in the throes of the lurch.

It was truly an honor to chat about her "Ovamancy" (Or egg magick as she calls it), her aforementioned sound sigil GRATUS ANIMUS, or her seminal collective casts within The Green Mushroom Project. Stay tuned till the end as we also share some fun Halloweenie recommendations.

What a wonderful web she weaves.
