Aerin Fogel on being Queen of Swords, Core Pattern readings & The Craft: Legacy

The Toronto-based Musician and Astrologer TALKTALKTALKS a life extraordinary

Aerin Fogel was a consultant on the 21st century remake of the 1996 film, The Craft. It was her job to make sure the magic was real. The spells. The rituals. Years of practice have made her a go-to for occult matters. She's basically the girl your inner goth teen aspired to be in high school. And some of us still aspire to be. She's also a musician and professional astrologer based in Toronto, who specializes in a form of channeling called Core Pattern Reading. If you have no idea what that last part means, I didn't either. In fact, I'm still not sure if I entirely get it, but I have friends who've had real breakthroughs after sessions. 

Aerin founded Venus Fest, the Toronto-based music festival she organized for seven years. When she makes music—which is all her life—she is Queen of Swords. Her latest album is Year 8.

The following interview is the result of a long weekend spent with Aerin at the Detroit conference, ConVocation, which she was attending as a presenter.
