Topic: Talismans

Host Greg Carlwood introduces guests Lance Baker and Matt Dragonstone to discuss the art of petitioning spirits and the subconscious. Lance Baker is a hypnotherapist and Reiki healer, while Matt Dragonstone is an astrological magician and jeweler. They introduce their collaborative project, a Pleiadian pendulum set designed for spiritual communication, which was inspired by the passing of their mutual friend and frequent guest, Gordon White.

The conversation covers the technical aspects of creating and choosing astrological talismans based on a person's birth chart. Matt Dragonstone advises selecting planets that are already "dignified" or strong in a user's chart to amplify positive effects, using Mercury in Gemini or Virgo as examples. The host shares a story of a Mercury ring causing a physical burning sensation, which Dragonstone interprets as a sign of the tool's potency and the host's specific ninth-house placement.

Matt Dragonstone shares a recent synchronicity involving the creation of Mercury talismans during a specific astrological window. Immediately after the ritual, he encountered his mail courier, who bore facial scars from burns (representing the "wounded healer" archetype of Chiron) and delivered a book on healing. This event served as a symbolic "thumbs up" from the universe regarding the success of the talismanic election.

In the post-interview wrap-up, the host reflects on the validity of Reiki and the craftsmanship of Matt Dragonstone's talismans. He emphasizes that while the tools are expensive, they offer a "superpower" compared to standard jewelry. He clarifies that the guests gifted him the pendulum set without expecting an interview, but he chose to share the experience to be reciprocal and transparent about his personal magical experiments.
