"We can’t think in this finite way, in this defeatist way. Even if everything is ending…We can’t but bring joy and beauty into the world." _Alkistis Dimech Alkistis Dimech is a dancer, choreographer, a writer and also a publisher. She and her partner run a publishing company called Scarlet Imprint where they print works on the esoteric and occult. I adored this conversation and all the deep, dark radiance that comes out of it. It felt very appropriate for this Scorpio full moon. We talk about dance, exploring the daimonic space, what it means to interact with what she calls the “occulted body”, and again re-orienting ourselves to a different narrative of time. WE DISCUSS How her magic practice and dance practice intersect The “occulted body” and her dissatisfaction with many of the dualistic ideas between mind, body and “energetic” body The body as a way to re-learn and re-create language Unifying the masculine and feminine energies into a hermaphroditic magic Why witchcraft needs to be re-wilded The role of the daimon and connecting with the sacred in-between Connective tissue + divination Embracing an erotic eschatology Connecting to cyclical time as a rejection of finality How life desires life on a cellular level The creative act as something that cannot be destroyed If you enjoyed this episode, check out: Episode 32 w/ Michael J Morris Episode 19 w/ Lindsay Mack SHOW NOTES Get your FREE prompts to work with the Scorpio Full Moon Explore Purpose + Astrology Book a Session Mary Grace’s IG Mary Grace's website Alexis Pauline Gumbs Julia Sangodare Wallace // Alkistis Dimech's website Alkistis Dimech's IG Scarlet Imprint The Brazen Vessel, book The Brazen Vessel, digital version Antonin Artaud, A Theatre and its Double Butoh Tatsumi Hijikata Marie-Gabrielle Rotie Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mgallerdice)
