Sasha Ravitch joins us once more for the first installment of our 3 part 'Stars of Horror' series. Using insights born of and informed by horror cinema, each episode will focus on a particular star alongside its more monstrous expressions. In addition to this we will discuss parallel topics of magic, divination, witchcraft, and creativity through the context of our chosen films.
On this episode we speak about the star Arcturus and its ever-watching, landscape-distorting qualities. The three films we have chosen to discuss it are Annihilation (2018), Stalker (1979), and Alien: Covenant (2017).
You can find Sasha at sasharavitch.com and on Instagram (@sasha.ravitch) and Twitter (@sasharavitch). Be sure to check out her upcoming class offerings at the Salem Witchcraft & Folklore Festival ('Sylvan Sabbats & Night Surgeons' as well as the 'Folk Around and Find Out' panel), Astromagia 2023, as well as a soon to be published monograph through Revelore Press.
You can find the full episode, ways to support the show, a variety of writings, artworks, lectures, and more on a multitude of topics including fixed stars, lunar mansions, traditional astrologies, magic, art, witchcraft, and so much more on our Patreon (starnightdwell).
