DJ Nocturna Presents Queen of Wands

Welcome to my podcast ! This podcast is for anyone and everyone who embodies or wants to embody the energies of the Queen and King of Wands. Quiet and intense, the Queen and King of Wands are the fiery divine counterparts in the tarot deck. Passionate, powerful, spiritual, charismatic, generous, confident, grateful, friendly, outgoing, creative, ambitious, enthusiastic, optimistic and a leader, the Queen of Wands rules the fire element corresponding to the signs of Sagittarius, Aries and Leo in Western Astrology. The Queen of Wands was inspired by Shannon, an intuitive and empath, soul mentor. Like the Queen and King of Wands, we are all connected by energy and in our spiritual journeys, we contribute to each other’s path of evolution and development in some way shape or form. Psychiatrist and author, M. Scott Peck, best defined this connection through LOVE in The Road Less Traveled as “The will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.” Hosted by DJ Nocturna, this show will focus on LOVE and inspiration, as it relates to the world of entertainment and passion. It is the dark creative passionate inspiration that Spanish poet, Federico Garcia Lorca called Duende. In his In Search of Duende, he said, “All that has black sounds has duende.. that mysterious force that everyone feels and no philosopher can explain.” We are motivated to pursue something we love, that yearning of the soul, whether it be in art, literature, music, dance, etc... If we are not passionate about it, then we wouldn’t pursue it. This podcast will feature music, interviews, the arts, fashion, theatre, film, food, wine, drinks and creative projects. This podcast will also feature discussions and interviews relating to the spiritual realm and evolution of the soul that’s both enlightening and entertaining. Thank you for your support and for listening to this podcast !

French Darkwave Electronic Act Divine Shade and My Interview with Founder Ren Toner

March 12, 2024 • DJ Nocturna

I had a conversation with Ren Toner, the founder of the French dark wave electronic act known as Divine Shade. They recently revealed their single “Stars,” which was performed live during Divine Shade’s set supporting Gary Numan’s 2022 UK tour.

The song delves into the theme of the disappearing “inner child” as time passes. Ren Toner elaborates, that he crafted this song to explore how love and resilience lead us back to dreaming. Divine Shade later released a revamped version of “Stars,” remixed by Chris Vrenna (formerly of Nine Inch Nails), a 2022 Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The remixed track, renamed “The Stars Eclipsed,” boasts a more industrial sound.

Additionally, another Divine Shade track titled “Oublier” features Steve Fox-Harris, Gary Numan’s guitarist. Their latest single, “Heaven,” is set for release on their upcoming 2024 album.
