Andrew and I began doing these annual forecasts back in 2020, when we famously scratched our collective heads by failing to predict the pandemic. But it has gotten so much better since then! Beginning in 2021, we were joined by T. Susan Chang, who brought humor and cartomancy to our efforts.

Sure, maybe we are not always accurate, but we have a great time, and we know that you do, too! Without further ado, please enjoy the video version of the 2026 Forecast featuring Andrew B. Watt and T. Susan Chang.

We produced this video by livestreaming and sharing the link with our Patreon supporters and Discord servers. Jake from Cosmic Plumbing volunteered to produce the livestream, which made it a very easy process. Editing would have been pretty fast if my video editing laptop hadn’t been grumpy. But in the end, we got it done! Look for the audio-only version on the podcast feed, as well.

Make sure to visit Susie and Andrew on the web, too!

After some thought, I narrowed down the delays to two problems. First, crafting a highly produced podcast all on your own is too much work. Second, Arnemancy is just a one-human shop, which means that there is no external party to hold me accountable for stuff like that.

Getting Updates

I want you to feel like you are staying updated on my progress! One good way is to subscribe to the Arnemancy YouTube channel (I guess that is pretty obvious), but you should also subscribe to the Arnemancy Podcast. Heck, if you just want to be swamped with all the best Arnemancy juice, you may as well sign up for the newsletter, too!

The very first episode of the podcast was published in June 2019, a much simpler and more innocent time. Over the last five years, I have talked to magicians, scholars, astrologers, cartomancers, artists, authors, and more. Heck, I did a whole season about Agrippa’s Occult Philosophy, too! In that time, I have learned a lot about audio production. I started sharing my music and this year, created my first YouTube video. It has been a ride!

And now it’s time to celebrate!

Join me on Halloween!

Join me at 7pm on October 31st for a live podcast recording at Dark Star Magick, here in Portland, Oregon! I will be joined by special guest Eric Purdue to talk about Agrippa’s Three Books of Occult Philosophy and how his new translation has changed the landscape of magic, astrology, and Western esotericism in general.

There are a limited number of in-person tickets for this event. Get your ticket here!

(Since it will be Halloween, you should definitely wear your costume if you have one!)

And it will be livestreamed!

Not in Portland? Don’t worry, the live podcast recording will also be livestreamed on YouTube! You can join us there, for free!

My Thanks

Thank you to all of my listeners over the years. I am delighted to have you along for the ride! It has been so much fun to meet you in person, on social media and Discord! And a special thanks to all of my Patreon supporters! Your support has really meant something special to me.

Regarding the live podcast event, I would like to pre-thank Steve of Dark Star Magick for hosting the event, Eric Purdue for agreeing very quickly to be my special guest, and my brother Nick Arneson for helping with audio and video.

More Podcast Episodes are Coming

2023 saw the podcast moving at a slower tempo than usual. I am aiming to increase the episode output to two a month until summer. I have several interviews recorded, and more planned. My goal is to bring more of the enriching conversations that you all seem to enjoy.

In addition, I have been working hard with my friend Alexx to produce more episodes of Wiz Biz with Alexx and Erik, so make sure you check out that show! It’s more casual, but it’s also a lot of fun.

Thank You All!

As I say in every podcast episode, the Arnemancy project wouldn’t exist without all of you readers, listeners, seekers, and students! My life has been greatly enriched by this entire experience, and I am excited to be moving into Arnemancy’s 10th year with all of you.

Here’s to 2024!!

The forecast series has been such a blast to produce. Andrew and I started this project back in 2019, where we looked to the future and completely failed to predict the enormous scope of the COVID-19 pandemic. Then in 2020, just a week before the lockdowns started, I had the pleasure of meeting T. Susan Chang in person at the Northwest Tarot Symposium.

At the end of 2020, Andrew suggested that we invite Susie to join us to use Tarot to give a different perspective to our forecast. Thus began our proud and slightly chaotic tradition! The 2024 forecast is our fourth year working together to attempt to gaze an entire year into the future. I hope you enjoy listening to this series as much as we enjoy making it.

We not only discuss chaos magic, but Luxa’s musical endeavors, her work creating the Green Mushroom project and its associated hyphosigil, and also what the heck a hyphosigil is. Hint: it is not a hypersigil!

Please enjoy a little holiday chaos with Luxa Strata and the Arnemancy Podcast!

By the way, this episode includes both colorful language and some sexual content, so keep that in mind before letting your youngsters and impressionable family members listen.

Bonus: Make sure to check out my appearance on the Lux Occult Podcast, which is going to be available about the same time that this episode is released!

Gebofal is a 49-day ritual that works with complex tables found in the Liber Logaeth. Cliff explains how he worked with these tables, the mathematic structure of these tables, and the hierarchy of spirits that seem to be laid out in the Enochian heptarchy. This is complicated magic, and if this episode interests you at all, please be sure to check out Cliff’s blog for an in-depth look at his process.

Our conversation covers Denny’s background as an occultist and magician, and then we explore how the concept of werewolf magic came about, and how it was developed. We discuss the history of shapeshifting as well as the nature of its practice, including topics such as spirit vision, the “Double”, and other related concepts. Most importantly, Denny is a lively and engaging speaker, so we talk for a long time and only sometimes get off topic. I think you’ll be proud of us!

Denny, also known as Aion 131 and Hermeticusnath, is a Seattle writer, artist and university instructor whose extensive global travels and esoteric studies informed the backbone to numerous published books. Involved for decades with many esoteric traditions, the author has published works on alternative religions, Hermetic magic, Taoism, animism, Shinto, and Tantra. His published books include Global Ritualism, The Tao of Birth Days, Your Guardian Angel and You, Clean Sweep, The Book of the Horned One, Naga Magick, Dancing With Spirits, and Werewolf Magick.

This is a nerdy episode. We build up a metaphor between computer programming, divination, and magic. We dive into the notion of randomness and how it is connected to free will and determinism, a topic also at the heart of my chat with Allen Drake. We discuss a number of other esoteric topics, but take some time to also discuss boats. Get ready to learn about rigging and masts and other sailor terms like that.

We also talk about the Captain’s two pieces of software, Urania and Georatio. The former is astrological software geared toward magicians, and the second is a geomancy tool.

I am also joined in this episode by guest co-host Matt Anthony, who you will doubtlessly recall as one of my co-hosts from My Alchemical Bromance. If you want to see what else Matt has been up to, check out his YouTube channel, Mattatarian!

This episode marks several important milestones:

1. It is my first episode recorded on a boat!
2. It is my first in-person recording in a long time. My last was with Alexx Bollen in October 2020.
3. It is the last episode of season two! The podcast will return with season three in September.

When we were planning this episode, Ryhan characterized planetary astrological talismans as “special event” magical operations. Finding a good election for the planets is difficult, time consuming, and relatively rare. The fixed stars and lunar mansions, however, are very quick and easy to elect for, and lend themselves better to more immediate thaumaturgical needs.

This diagram shows the fixed stars, lunar mansions, and signs of the zodiac. It was created by Ryhan Butler himself!

Emily tells us all about the history of Lenormand, and together we explore key differences and similarities between it and Tarot. This is an excellent opportunity to dive into the rich diversity of the field of cartomancy. Each system has its strengths and uses, giving both the diviner and querent new insights into questions and situations.

If you are a Tarot reader, you will be happy to know that Emily specializes in cracking our minds open and pouring in new Lenormand knowledge. In fact, I learned about Emily during her lecture at the Northwest Tarot Symposium 2020, which is what inspired me to invite her on the podcast.

Barrett led a life filled with interesting characters and dangerous adventures. He was an alchemist who experimented with hydrogen ballooning. He studied under Ebenezer Sibly, the 18th century astrologer famous for casting the natal chart for the United States of America. Barrett also attempted a translation of George von Welling’s massive tome, Opus Mago-cabbalisticum et Theosophicum.

Barrett’s legacy is also impressive. He influenced Eliphas Levi and Edward Bulwer-Lytton, thus becoming a major contributor to the 19th century occult revival. In addition, a talisman drawn directly from The Magus was carried by none other than Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter-Day Saints (you know, the Mormons).

I have a feeling that you will love this episode of the podcast. Mr. Priddle’s enthusiasm in exploring Francis Barrett’s life, work, and influence is infectuous. Barrett is an historical character worth examining, and I think you will agree that his work is worth a closer look.

2020 was a rotting radioactive carcass, belching toxic fumes out of a larger burning radioactive carcass, and when Andrew and I did our forecast last year, we were far too optimistic, even when the cards and charts showed us some scary stuff. This time, hopefully we are all more realistic.

Note that there are two special treats for you accompanying this episode:

The first segment of this episode will give you instructions on preparing your ritual space and explaining the ritual. Relevant parts of those instructions are included below just in case you want to get a jump start on things before listening to the episode.

The second segment is the ritual itself. I look forward to hearing feedback about this episode. Please send me reports of your results with this new and unusual experiment!

Preparing Your Abaton

To prepare for your dream incubation, you will want the following items available.

1. Pen and paper next to your bed and within easy reach of your sleeping area.
2. A bed with fresh bedding.
3. Frankincense incense or essential oil in a diffuser
4. Flickering LED candles (because you can’t leave real candles burning!)
5. An image of Asklepios or the rod of Asklepios.
6. Food and drink as an offering to the god.

Incubation Ritual Steps

These steps are explained in the podcast and are typed out here to make things easier for you.

1. Change your bedding and clean your sleeping area.
2. Hang the image of Asklepios or his rod over the head of your bed.
3. Write your healing wish on a piece of paper, and put that paper under your pillow.
4. Light the frankincense and LED candles.
5. Take a ritual shower or bath with the intent of cleansing yourself to enter the dream abaton.
6. Enter your sleeping area reverently.
7. Perform your usual ritual opening; if you do not have one, at least offer a prayer to the Most High.
8. Get into bed and listen to the rest of the podcast.

My Gratitude

Season one of the podcast has been such an excellent experience. I’ve had dozens of incredible conversations with friends new and old, learned so many new things, and (maybe) finally hit my stride with podcast production. All of this has been made possible by support from the incredible community of occultists, esotericists, historians, and philosophers I’ve come to know. My extra special thanks goes out to my amazing Patreon supporters.

Summer Projects

Over the summer I’ll be working on new projects. On the Arnemancy Patreon page, I will be releasing a miniseries of podcast episodes that dive into behind-the-scenes processes, tools, and techniques I use to produce the Arnemancy Podcast as a one-person operation.

Meanwhile, I am also working on the fifth and final part of my Planetary Magic course: Astrological Talismans! I am taking my time with this class to make sure I can get it just right. Watch for enrollment to be announced near the end of July. This gives you plenty of time to get caught up on the first four classes in the course, which are available as digital downloads in the Arnemancy Shop.

What About Season Two?

The current plan is for season two of the podcast to start up in September. There may be some format changes, but I haven’t finished figuring out what that might entail. Look for a season two trailer release near the end of August!

Unlike other episodes on astrology, this episode focuses on modern astrology. We discuss synastry, or the comparison of two charts, alongside integration of the slow-moving outer planets and fast-moving asteroids. In addition to this, Abigail integrates her astrological practice deeply into her spiritual practice to produce a unique and enlightening map of reality.

This episode was recorded back in October 2019, and I have to apologize for taking so long to release it.

Douglas did an incredible job on the show notes for this, so make sure to check out the episode page on his website. From his notes:

Occultist. Theologian. Mercenary. Soldier. Physician. Spy. Scholar. Legal Expert. Peripatetic Polymath. Prisoner. Heretic. Certainly someone who lived a full life, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa looms large over the Occult, and is an obvious addition to the Fools Gallery. He is certainly one of the Titans of Magic, anyone seriously interested in the Occult must give Agrippa his due. In one book (or three) De Occulta Philosophia, it was Agrippa’s contention that there could be a synthetic vision of magic whereby the natural world combined with the Celestial and the Divine.

Our wide-ranging conversation covers both “memory of image” and “memory of place”, although Erik demonstrates the value of both the “chain” and the “field” or “table” seals from Thirty Seals and the Seal of Seals, one of the expert-level manuals from Giordano Bruno (executed AD 1600 in Rome for heresy).

Alexx brought over some Dune trading cards from the 1980s, and we use those as a jumping off point to discuss esoteric and occult themes in Frank Herbert’s Dune books. Our conversation gets pretty deep in spite of neither of us having read the Dune books in a number of years. We discuss many topics, from clairvoyance to genetic memory to prophecy. Also I probably threw in some sound effects because the RØDECaster Pro can do that and apparently that’s a thing now. Sorry!

Vanessa and Erik have a fun little conversation about magick, crafting, tech magic, astrological talismans and other such things. Plus we get interrupted by JESUS! Plus a surprise bigfoot!

Be sure to check out the original here! Also, go back and check out my interview with Vanessa on My Alchemical Bromance.

Our discussion covers ancient Greek optical theories and looks at competing concepts around the doctrine of aspects before we come back around into the philosophy of magic. One topic we discuss is the Thema Mundi, and here’s a picture of it, which you might need to look at during this episode!

For more on this topic, check out Ryhan’s helpful Twitter thread here. (View the unrolled version here.)

We use the Disruption Generator to read for the Arnemancy Podcast, and the results are … well, troubling. Let’s hope we don’t actually end up where it predicts! Eric tries to spin it better!

Also, an announcement: the first Arnemancy Podcast live recording is happening at Rose City Book Pub on Friday, September 13th! Click this link to sign up for updates and more details on the event!

Podcast Appearances

I was on episode 58 of Charm the Water, where Aaron David interviews me about Tarot and Hermeticism.

Over on the Occulture Podcast, Ryan Peverly interviews me for episode 53: “Let’s Be Monks”. We talk about the Art of Memory and Giordano Bruno. We also lead each other on some pretty weird tangents. I really enjoyed this episode. Check it out!

You can see all of my guest appearances on the Guest Appearances feed at My Alchemical Bromance.

More Content

Note: I gave up on Steemit and have been focusing on other avenues. For a while, I was posting short-form content to my Steemit blog. This is an interesting new content platform. It’s based on cryptocurrency-style blockchain technology and your content is almost immediately monetized. It could be pretty neat. I would love to see a strong occult and Tarot presence over there.

I’ve been publishing content regularly on my Patreon page. This is primarily premium content, though I also publish all new Arnemancy articles over there five days before they show up here. That content so far includes learning materials on Kabbalah and ritual magic.

Finally, you can find me publishing articles over on We The Hallowed, an occult multimedia collective based in Portland, Oregon.

This article was updated in January 2019 in an attempt to keep it relevant.

• Over on My Alchemical Bromance, we recently interviewed Freemason and author Chuck Dunning. Listen to part 1 and part 2. I’ve also started a series of shorter solo episodes, which you can follow here.
• I was a guest on episode 289 of the Alexxcast! Listen to the episode here! We talk about Tarot, occultism, Freemasonry, and succubi.

I’ve been really enjoying podcasts lately, both creating them and listening to them. What’s your favorite? Please share it in the comments!

Note added on 4 June 2019: My Alchemical Bromance is now on hiatus, but I’m still podcasting right here at the Arnemancy Podcast.

Finally, our new podcast is ready to be unveiled. It’s called My Alchemical Bromance and it’s all about beer and the occult. So far we have released a short promo episode and one full length episode. Please check it out and let us know what you think!
