The Mycelium Forum 2 – ”Chthonic Continuum”
– With Karl Haikara

This is the second episode of our new series, ”The Mycelium Forum,” which features open-ended conversations with fellow occultists and artists. Here’s my conversation with the Colorado-based Karl Haikara of the Sol Nox Podcast.

We cover the following topics, among others:

  • Illness as a transformative period
  • Konstantin’s chthonic Pit project turns 10 years old
  • Occult animism
  • Liminal spaces and ontological humility (haunted = hunted?)
  • Cronos time vs. Sacred time
  • Finding the uncanny and chthonic in urban environments
  • Philip K. Dick’s gnostic ”Black Iron Prison” concept
  • Daimons and ancestor worship
  • Nick Bostrom’s ”Info Hazard” concept
  • Richard Gavin
  • Konstantin’s ”The Chthonic Continuum” movement concept

Please note: This episode was originally recorded for the Sol Nox Podcast.
