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 !

Interview with Portland's Iconic Collective FEDERALE with COLLIN HEGNA

January 25, 2025 • DJ Nocturna

Portland's Iconic Collective FEDERALE released their sixth studio album, "Reverb & Seduction" on Jealous Butcher Records and also marking the band's 20th Anniversary.

In the 20 years of their existence, Federale has carved out a unique niche within the indie music landscape, blending their signature spaghetti-Western instrumental sound with increasing doses of moody vocal arrangements in the spirit of Lee Hazlewood and Leonard Cohen. Through it all, I spoke with songwriter and lead singer COLLIN HEGNA – who also spent the last 20 years as a dues-paying member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre – maintains a strictly retro vibe. Federale's records have always sounded period-correct for an alternate-universe 1971, where rock and roll never caught on. Earlier, the band released the lead track, "Heaven Forgive Me" and "No Stranger" a song that pays homage to the legendary Lee Hazlewood.

Recorded at Hegna's Revolver Studios in Portland, this album was engineered by Collin Hegna, Matt Thomson and Andrew Joslyn, who boasts five 5 Grammy Award winning albums. The album was mixed by Hegna with Jeff Stuart Saltzman (The Black Keys, The High Violets) and Matt T.
