After last week’s [Wyrd Work *prelude*](https://www.foxwizard.com/wyrd-work-prelude/) episode—and the [poetic *interlude*](https://www.foxwizard.com/poetic-interlude/) episode before that—I thought it might be apt to smuggle in one more kind of “lude” before the new season kicks off proper.

I rather do like words that include “lude,” btw. 

The -lude suffix derives from lūdere, which, in Latin, means “to play.” *Allude, elude, collude, seclude, occlude, delude, postlude...* there’s really no lude I’d want to *exclude*. And “play” is very much the spirit of this episode. Infinite play, naturally. And *I swear* this is the final dally before season two of the podcast begins proper. 

It’s just that... after recently recording another “banger” episode of Kindred Spirits, I thought it would be apt to host a version of the episode here on the podcast one last time—along with the encouragement for you to find **The Kindred Spirits Podcast** with [John Anthony](https://transcend.com.au/?ref=foxwizard.com) and meself at its new home on [Substack](https://kindredspiritspod.substack.com/p/forced-cheer) (where you can watch the video), [Apple Podcasts](https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/kindred-spirits/id1873841039?ref=foxwizard.com), [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1Tyq3Bh4UStgqeR4G0XtdK?ref=foxwizard.com) and/or [directly via rss](https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/5815846/private/3a4c747c-d650-444b-ac53-6bcb43028b72.rss).

This episode starts quite lewd and yet ends on an earnest and lovely note, after much dancing (stumbling?) with the notion of “non-duality.” And a wee dram of *beneficence*.

As ever, these episodes come with their own “authenticity hangover,” and already I am wishing I had articulated some things more eloquently. But, such is the nature of the dance!

I found myself referencing this conversation Nate Hagens had with John Churchill on “[taking love seriously](https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/228-john-churchill?ref=foxwizard.com),” as they together explore the notion of non-dualism—without pedestaling it as the end-state. 

Also, just hours after publishing the episode we recorded, James Ellis—the chap behind the wonderful fringe philosophy and obscure theory podcast [Hermitix](https://www.youtube.com/@hermitixpodcast/posts?ref=foxwizard.com), and the [metanomad blog](https://metanomad.blog/?ref=foxwizard.com) I love—published [*Nonduality & Magic with Jay Basu*](https://podbay.fm/p/hermitix/e/1789833600?ref=foxwizard.com). I haven’t listened to this yet, but I have been greatly appreciating [The Hermitage](https://the-hermitage.mn.co/?ref=foxwizard.com) as a domain for deepening my own ongoing apprenticeship in magic (alongside a [Quareia](https://www.quareia.com/?ref=foxwizard.com)—amidst other things). And so I suspect this episode will be nourishing.

I’d love to write more but I’ve “The Skulk” to prepare (a hideaway, school and guild for liminal agents), a book to write (“mythic mode,” let’s call it) and a new season of the podcast to soon launch.

Many thanks to the few folks who have left a kind review for [*Wyrd Work with Dr Fox*](https://www.foxwizard.com/podcast/)on your favourite platforms. It pains me to ask but it really does help others to find the show. 

Shout out also to “*ShittaDestroyer696969*”—I don’t know who you are but your review is and was so encouraging. Thank you.

I’m going to make a habit of leaving a kind review for podcasts I subscribe to. I’ll share these with you in my museletters. 

Podcasts, books, and live events are—as I shared [in a previous episode](https://www.foxwizard.com/wyrd-work-prelude/)—really the best mediums; uncorrupted by ads, algorithms and optimisation. Well, mostly. Let’s do our part to keep it so!

Much warmth,
