At The Black Ibis Social Club
A podcast
I had a very enjoyable conversation with
and at the . We discussed paganism, America as an idea and it’s future, and what would we say to a circle of young men? It was very good to get to know both of them better.
Alexandru mentioned at one point, if you need some purpose and meaning, if you want to cultivate enchantment, if you need to spur some creativity, pick up a guitar. I started at 50, I didn’t know a single chord. I’ve been playing nearly every day for 2.5 years, and this was the first song I chose to teach myself. It is fitting, in the context.
Thanks for a great discussion guys. It was a lot of fun.
I am a third of the way through the podcast. I appreciate that you have attempted to interject more than in the prior podcast you shared. I also appreciate that you have a consistent message, and dare I say, 'brand,' which is, to be the person you wish others to look up to. Be that man who is a role model for young men. Be that citizen that cares and provides for himself through creating, building, growing, etc. When they asked what would that new West look like, I hope it would be built, at least physically, like the world you created on blue print. My apologies, I don't remember what you called it, but to have a sustainable, local, reciprocal, or recursive, thriving environment.
I follow you because I appreciate the integrity you consistently show, in your interviews, substack content, your comments, your interactions with the natural world, and the people you care about. I feel as though what you say is actually what you believe and that you are consistently following those principles.
