Pat aka BikerVVitch and I had a blunt conversation where we discuss the cultivation of physical strength as a magickal/spiritual act, where we discuss exercise both as meditation and as a devotional act, as well as the social factors surrounding the perception of strength training/exercise in not only the "spiritual" communities but society at large. What's up with classifying working out as "right wing"? What's up with considering a sedentary lifestyle as "self care," considering any promotion of exercise as "stigma" against anyone else? Can you trust someone who's just repeating the same talking points they're pressured into agreeing with? This will be a weird one for everyone-- it's not a conversation your average occultist is used to, it's not a conversation your average person who lifts weights is used to-- but today, it's just another conversation on OP. I love this conversation with Pat and look forward to revisiting this topic in the future.
I promise I'm perfectly audible on this episode! It sounds more like a regular phone call than a garbled message from a malfunctioning droid.
