Summary

Alkistis Dimech and Peter Grey of Scarlet Imprint return to the show for an exploration and celebration of Jake Stratton-Kent: In particular his thought, his research and his impact on the western magical world.

We discuss:

His generosity as a thought leader.
His attitude to academia and academics.
His role in the return of spirit-centric approaches to the grimoires.
His revitalisation of blue grimoires.
His understanding and love of the Ancient and Archaic Greek world.
"I don't do angels."
His championing of practice over theorising.
His role as a key participant in the return of the Dead to contemporary western magical practice.

I'm very grateful to Peter and Alkistis for sharing their thoughts about their friend and colleague, Jake.
