If ever there was a birthright of ramble or an inheritance of meandering metaphor, the fruit of our ramble-union would indeed have all the ramble-lust possible...

AL CUMMINS is an occasional poet, professional diviner, and consultant sorcerer. Al did his doctorate on early modern magical approaches to the passions or, if you prefer, “wizards and feelings”. He's written a book about astrological magic, another about the Three Magi, and articles on topics including grimoires, apocalypse, amulets, ritual botany, and devils. He teaches in person, in webinars, and via downloadable class-bundles. You can support his work over at his Patreon, the Secret Library. He also knows more about octopuses than is generally polite to talk about at a cocktail party. 

JESSE HATHAWAY DIAZ  is a folklorist, diviner, artist, and independent scholar with a Masters in Performance Studies from New York University. With initiations in several forms of witchcraft from Europe and the Americas, he is also a lifelong student of Mexican curanderismo, an initiated priest in the Lucumí Orisha tradition, and a Tatá Quimbanda. For the better part of two decades, he has been involved with Theatre Group Dzieci, a New York based experimental theatre ensemble which explores theatre and ritual as a way, blending service with self-exploration and performance, dedicated to a search for the sacred through the medium of theatre. Dividing his time between the Bronx and a farm in the Hudson Valley, his artistic and written work navigate the world-as-magic through exploring orality and transmission, decolonialism, ritual theory and praxis, herbalism and healing modalities through private study, apprenticeship, and community involvement. His favorite cat is a dog,  will never turn down a good champurrado, and he indeed owns the finest rats in all the hamlet.

Al and Jesse also co-edit the Folk Necromancy in Transmission series (with Dr. Jenn) through Revelore Press.
