Magic
“Enchantment is the oldest form of medicine.”
Carl Jung
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY MAGIC?
The Be Mythical Path is grounded in ancient ways alchemised for modern days, including archetypes, shadow work, alchemy, embodiment, ascension spirituality, shamanic and nature-based practices, and more. We focus on teachings, rituals, ceremonies, and initiations that activate, illuminate, heal, and unite... So that you can live your soul’s myth.
The Path takes us on the journey of Sacred Union with 7 Mythical Elements. Magic is one of those 7 Elements and it includes wielding your Soul’s True Will in accordance with Divine Love and universal laws, through conscious creation via vision, focus, archetype, ritual and ceremony to create your heart’s deepest longings.

Magic vs. spirituality... what if we don't need to pick a side?
In this conversation, Daniel and Lian explored the topic of where magic and spirituality meet, how they can seem at odds, even though magical phenomena are found in many mystical traditions, how Daniel found his way to a life and work in which they belong together, and how he sees they have an important role in understanding and working to improve mental health.
Masks and magic: My adventures having a brain that’s wired differently
In this show, Steve turned the tables on Lian and interviewed her! This was completely unplanned but they decided to indulge Steve’s curiosity about Lian being autistic, so he asked her a whole raft of brilliant questions including about her own experiences growing up, the reason she went for a diagnosis and what it’s provided to her, as well as questions about the broader topic of autism and neurodivergence generally.
Real magic: What it is and how to begin practicing it
In this show, Aidan and Lian explored what magic is and how to begin your own magical practice.
It’s such a brilliant introduction to listeners who are new to real magic but also those who already have a practice will likely hear something fresh in this conversation because Aidan brings such a fresh approach.

How you’ll KNOW the archetype that’s for you
When people discover the archetypes that are meant for them, especially the ones that are rare in this modern world, the difference it makes is beyond anything rational… that’s because the archetypes are beyond the rational.
As Carl Jung said “The reason why mythic statements invariably lead to word-magic is that the archetype possesses a numinous autonomy and has a psychic life of its own.”
Living from Soul
I used to think that concerning oneself with the new moon and full moon was performative new age woo.
I was way too brilliant, logical and able to think critically to fall for the utter nonsense that it mattered how much of the moon we can SEE. After all, that’s all that’s actually happening, right? The moon isn’t actually changing shape.
Side note: these are all things I’ve actually said to moon lovers telling me about their “full moon energy”. Well, hey, I’m autistic.
11 signs that you’re a Magical One
As we approach a million downloads of the podcast, our offerings filling up before we’ve barely had the chance to open them for enrollment (sometimes before they’ve even been created) and having to turn people away on an increasingly regular basis… we’ve reached a point in our evolution that is a death and rebirth, beyond what we foresaw.
This is how to spell your world in 4 Stages
An important aspect of the work that we do at Be Mythical, both our own inner work and the work we do with others, is about the words used to create ourselves and the world.
(Of course, it’s really about the energy that underlies the words but that’s one for another day.)
Over the past decade of doing this work, we’ve seen there’s four stages that most of us tend to go through on the journey of fully discovering this secret of magic.
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”
Roald Dahl
