Those who are involved the world of magic and the occult may have heard that Gordon White of Rune Soup has passed away. In homage to Gordon, I’m sharing this interview we did back in 2016, when Carl and I were promoting our very first Psychoanalysis, Art & the Occult conference 10 years ago. In fact, this was the first interview Carl & I ever did together. Thank you, Gordon. You will be missed.
Rendering Unconscious episode 397.
On this episode, Carl and I discuss our (at the time) upcoming interdisciplinary conference in London from May 5-8, 2016, with Gordon White of Rune Soup. The event explores the intersections of psychoanalysis, art, and the occult, and features a diverse range of speakers including Langston Kahn, Gary Lachman, Steven Reisner, Eve Watson, and Ingo Lambrecht. We emphasize the integration of psychoanalytic concepts, creative practices, and rituals, encouraging occultists to embrace psychoanalytical theories and conversely psychoanalysts to be more open-minded. The conference aims to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and innovation, with a mix of academic panels, art exhibitions, and social events.
