The legacy of Jake Stratton-Kent

Jake captured by Victoria Musson at the Day of the Magi, April 2011. With thanks to Jonathan Davies.

We recently sat down with Gordon White for a celebration of Jake Stratton-Kent and an exploration of his legacy, remembering him as friend as well as considering his impact on the western magical world. In the podcast 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.

We hope you enjoy the conversation.
