In this episode of the Aequalia Podcast, I’m joined by David Rankine, a long-standing practitioner and researcher of the grimoire tradition and the author of numerous influential works published with Hadean Press and others. We talk about the realities of practice-led research, how serious work develops over time, and what it looks like to engage these traditions with both rigor and lived experience.

If you’re exploring David’s recent publications, one place to start is Claves Intelligentiarum: A Complete Practical Manual of Conjuration of the Planetary Intelligences, which lays out the full process of preparation, purification, and conjuration, along with the rationale behind each step.
