Weird Mystic

Spiros Antonopoulos works as a designer, astrologer, visionary yoga instructor, space holder, consecrator, occultist, and tea maker.

By definition, I am a weird mystic.

Meaning that I am always investigating the luminous, often hidden in plain sight, and yearning to be uncovered. The centrality of my workings is exploratory creations and practices that I call "weird mysticism"—with 'weird' referring to non-ordinary and open-ended phenomena, and 'mysticism' pointing towards contemplation, self-surrender, and spiritual apprehensions beyond the intellect. My purpose is the cultivation, sharing, and shedding of light, luminescence, and pliant, wild buoyancy.

Consecration is the act of opening to grace, allowing the sacred to transform the ordinary and imbue it with the sublime.

Through consecration, we step outside ourselves—our default mode network, the habitual patterns that shape our sense of self. We purify our intentions, cleansing ourselves in the holy river, which is a mirror of the stream of our everyday lives. We invite grace to inspire us, give hope and guidance, revealing beauty and sacredness as the world truly is. And we ask for blessings to weave this light and inspiration into something you can bring into your own life.

My masala chai has been celebrated by Bon Appétit, the Beastie Boys, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

With decades of experience practicing and teaching the essential rhythms of Ashtanga yoga, I use it as scaffolding for cosmic stability. A decades-long study of Darshan yoga shapes my awareness, and I continue to study early Hatha Yoga texts.

By design, I mean creative work including visual material and graphic design, textual work, sound and radio, video, film, performance, and ritual.
