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 !

January 26, 2025 • DJ Nocturna

I had the opportunity to talk to electronic-industrial pioneer MARK PISTEL, musician, music producer, engineer and founder of the legendary industrial band CONSOLIDATED founded in San Francisco in 1988.

As a multi- instrumentalist, Pistel has been the driving force behind Consolidated and has made a significant mark in the music industry and in the electronic and industrial scenes, such as his collaboration with Meat Beat Manifesto, Hercules and Love Affair and Until December. Pistel's career also includes remixing and engineering for a variety of artists across genres, showcasing his versatility and technical prowess. He has worked with many artists such as musician/ fashion icon Grace Jones, flamboyant disco singer Sylvester, producer and dub innovator Adrian Sherwood- and more recently, remixing San Francisco's Octavian Winters' latest release "Velveteen" (Mark Pistel remix), and releasing a single with multi-dimensional artist Rykarda Parasol, a song called Northern Light and so much more.

His contributions to the music world are celebrated for pushing boundaries both sonically and socially. He continues to innovate, blending technology with musical artistry to create dynamic, impactful soundscapes in his recording studio called ROOM 5 .
