Shamanic Rapport and Individual Sensory Experiences

The concept of "rapport" is defined as a reciprocal relationship with other realms, similar to a friendship or marriage. Moeller emphasizes that spiritual interaction is not uniform; some people see entities, while others experience smells, memories, or psychic pulls. He encourages practitioners to find their own unique niche in communicating with the daemonic realms rather than comparing themselves to others.

The "Magic Resistance," composed largely of left-wing occultists and Wiccans, attempted to use magic to stop Donald Trump and the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.

Lupa Greenwolf, Evolution from Wicca to Naturalist Paganism

Lupa Greenwolf describes her spiritual trajectory starting with 1990s Wicca and the works of Scott Cunningham before moving into chaos magic and neo-shamanism. She eventually stripped away formal dogma to focus on a naturalist pagan approach rooted in physical ecosystems rather than abstract symbolism. She defines totems as archetypal beings representing entire species and clarifies that her practice exists within the terrain of consciousness rather than the supernatural.
