What is Weather Magick?
For centuries, legends have spoken of sorcerers, witches, and mystical warriors who could summon storms, call forth rain, and battle for control over the elements. From the mysterious Benandanti of Italy to the feared tempestarii of medieval Europe, weather magic has long been shrouded in secrecy.
In this video, we uncover the hidden history of magia tempestaria, explore the real-life witch trials that accused people of controlling the weather, and reveal the forgotten rituals used to summon or repel storms. Was weather magic ever real? Or was it merely a tool for persecution and power?

What is the Minoan Brotherhood?
In this episode, we examine the Minoan Brotherhood, a contemporary Pagan tradition that reinterprets Minoan religious symbolism through the lens of LGBTQ+ spirituality. Founded in the late 1970s by Eddie Buczynski, the Brotherhood emerged as a response to the heteronormativity of mainstream Wicca, creating a sacred framework that centres homoerotic relationships within a reconstructed mythological and ritual structure. Drawing on the Labrys (double-headed axe) as a key symbol, the Brotherhood blends Arthur Evans’ reconstructions of Minoan religion with adapted Gardnerian Wiccan ceremonial practices, emphasizing the sacralization of erotic energy, graded initiatory rites, and the role of the Minos as a spiritual leader.
We critically engage with both the historical inspirations and academic critiques surrounding the Brotherhood’s theology, particularly the challenges of romanticized Minoan reconstructions in contemporary Pagan practice. The episode also situates the Brotherhood within LGBTQ+ religious history, considering its significance during the AIDS crisis, its intersections with feminist spirituality, and its broader role in modern queer identity formation within esoteric traditions. As a case study in myth-making, ritual adaptation, and cultural reclamation, the Minoan Brotherhood offers valuable insights into how marginalized communities engage with ancient religious frameworks to construct meaningful spiritual identities in the present.

Okay, picture this: a beauty-secrets book from the Renaissance , hidden for centuries, now finally in our hands. It feels like discovering a secret passed down through generations—except no one else has had access to it until now!
For the first time ever, The Hidden Secrets and Wonders of Isabella Cortese has been translated into English, and trust me, it’s breathtaking. This isn’t just history—it’s a lost beauty manual straight from the 16th century, filled with alchemical recipes, medicinal cures, and skincare secrets that real Renaissance women used to keep their glow - as shown in all those paintings. Imagine knowing the kind of beauty secrets that noblewomen and alchemists once guarded so carefully.
And here’s the real magic: it’s only available through my website, drangelapuca.com and Patreon Shop. No mass printing, no mainstream buzz—just a select few of us getting our hands on something truly rare. If you’ve a history buff, a practitioner and ever dreamed of blending history, beauty, and alchemy, this is it. Don’t wait too long—who knows when something like this will surface again?

Learn about the transformative interplay of Gnosis and the Multimind in Chaos Magic, where altered states of consciousness and the plurality of the self converge. My new video delves into the historical evolution of Gnosis, from its mystical roots in ancient traditions to its pragmatic reimagining by figures like Peter Carroll, and examines the Multimind as a postmodern lens on identity. Discover how these concepts empower Chaos Magicians to transcend mental limitations, harness internal complexity, and reshape reality. Through a mix of historical insight, theoretical exploration, and practical applications, this discussion highlights the profound adaptability of Chaos Magic in navigating the fragmented self and the challenges of modern consciousness.

Is magic inherently evil, or is this a cultural construct shaped by power, religion, and philosophy? In this video, we explore the historical and theological framing of magic as 'evil,' from ancient texts like The Book of Enoch to the European witch trials and the controversial ideas of Aleister Crowley. We'll examine the concept of evil itself, from Augustine’s privatio boni to Nietzsche's critique of moral binaries, and explore how magic has been interpreted in monotheistic, polytheistic, and modern esoteric traditions. Join us as we challenge the assumptions surrounding magic and evil and uncover their complex interplay across cultures and time.
