It's always useful to get a lesson in how it's done, so Hine and Buckley welcome to Vayse an OG of occult podcasting, Lonnie Scott, the host of Weird Web Radio, a show which has now been running for a decade.

Lonnie is a heathen, a hypnotist, award winning tarot reader and Hellier-almuni and occult podfather who has been podcasting since 2016 - interviewing Vayse favourites such as Aidan Wachter, Greg and Dana Newkirk and Mitch Horowitz years before it was cool. The conversation flows quickly from how Lonnie found his way into magic, heathenism and hypnotism to what really happened in the hypnosis session in season 2 of Hellier to how he navigates the complex ethics of hypnosis to whether hypnotists can really implant ideas into the heads of their subject... and the joys of having a book addiction...

Special Guest: Lonnie Scott.

When Hine and Buckley had the idea to start a podcast about weird stuff in order to re-evaluate their reality this was the exact thing they had in mind. Mark Vincent is a man of many disciplines and much discipline - chaos magician, hypnotist, drummer, Lavey Satanist and purveyor of mind-blowing ideas. What was intended to be a discussion about chaos magic quickly spins off-track and takes a fascinating detour through the hard problem of consciousness, assembly theory, overcoming chronic pain and the pervasive nature of trance in occult practice. If you come away from listening to this episode with your idea of reality intact, then maybe you don't really exist at all... Recorded 21 November 2022.
