Greetings!
This summer, I sat down for a podcast interview with
psychologists Daniel Chadborn and Thomas Brooks, both of whom are professors at
New Mexico Highlands University. Messires
Chadborn & Brooks host the Psychosocial Distancing Podcast, a podcast that
creates "a space to discuss the implications and applications of
psychological principles", as they argue in their mission statement.
I spent a very enjoyable hour with my hosts discussing the psychology of magic &
religion. Naturally, I also talked about
my two books H. P. Lovecraft and the Black Magickal Tradition and Aliens, Robots & Virtual Reality Idols in
the Science Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov and William Gibson.
In particular, we focused on the following specific
topics:
* The enduring influence of Lovecraft's works on
modern day religiosity/occultism
* The meaning of being human
* The belief in secret societies of witches &
devil worshippers and how that plays out in popular culture in the 2020's
