What Magic Is This?: Journeying with Wren Collier

What Magic Is This?: Journeying with Wren Collier

Something available to each and every one of us is a capacity to explore strange worlds, dimensions, and realms. This can be as simple as having a dream each night, to as complex and unusual as a full-blown Out of Body Experience. While some would argue that this is merely just an act of Imagination, to those who Journey often such an explanation seems as far away from the truth as anything could possibly be. Joining the show to share some knowledge is a luminous soul who has Out of Body Experiences frequently- Wren Collier.

Wren Collier is a magician and Thelemite living in Minneapolis,  Minnesota. He is a frequent contributor on the Where Did The Road Go? Podcast, as well as contributing to projects like NAEQ.IO and the Lunar Cry occult community. He also sells fine occult goods at his Etsy store, Atelier Argent, and is working on his first book,  CTHONIA, an exploration of katabasis narratives, underground kingdoms, pulp scifi, and the Hollow Earth.
