Unrefined Podcast .com

Our amazing friend and fellow podcaster Brandon (BT) Wallace, a writer with a background in the occult, shares his personal journey from Wicca, Hermeticism, and Primal Witchcraft to Christianity. He discusses his research into esoteric figures like Aleister Crowley and practices such as scrying and communicating with angelic beings. We delve into the psychological aspects of demons, his own struggles with depression, and the potential for demonic influence. The conversation covers the legalistic nature of demons, the hierarchy of demonic entities, and the use of the "imaginal" to access higher consciousness. BT’s unique insights bridge belief systems, psychology, and the supernatural.
