On this episode of Thelema Now, host Harper Feist speaks with Colin Campbell about the remarkable history and ongoing restoration of Boleskine House, the historic residence on the shores of Loch Ness once owned by Aleister Crowley.

Colin shares the story of the house—from its place in Thelemic lore to the devastating fires that nearly destroyed it—and the dedicated work now underway to carefully restore the property. He also discusses the broader vision for Boleskine as a cultural and historical site, including community programming, horticultural projects, and events that celebrate the history and landscape of the Scottish Highlands.

The conversation also highlights the upcoming grand opening on April 11, when visitors will have the opportunity to see the progress of the restoration and learn more about the future plans for the house and grounds.

Professional tarot reader, artist, and writer Kristine Gorman joins Soror Amy on Thelema Now to talk about a life dedicated to the tarot and the creative spirit that surrounds it. Known for her bold personality and unique approach to the cards, Kristine spent more than eight years hosting her own FM radio program, The Visionary Woman Tarot Radio Show, where she read tarot live on the air for callers—episodes of which can still be found on Apple Podcasts. She has released her own tarot deck, Visionary Woman Tarot, published by Red Wheel/Weiser.

In this conversation, Kristine shares insights from decades of working with tarot as both a divinatory and self-reflective practice. She reflects on working with her mentor Rachel Pollack's Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom.

Bouschet's words—brought to life by Frater Acher—reveal deep reflections on art as a living current, the role of resistance and decay in creative process, and the interplay between spirit and matter. Through this intimate exchange, listeners are invited into Bouschet's shadowed yet luminous world, where the borders between the seen and unseen dissolve.
