We take a journey back in time to the origins of Alchemy, which was an ancient and coded ritual that granted divinity to the seeker. Is it really as old as the first god kings and queens? Is this the real Philosopher’s Stone or the great metaphor for inner wisdom? Let’s find out.

Astral Guest: Al Sylvester, author of The First Mythology.

Since ancient times, some have mapped the journey to find indwelling divinity and cosmic meaning. They are the real Illuminati. We travel across history to understand these psychonauts that include the Greek philosophers, Christian Gnostics, Hermetics, Greek Orthodox mystics, Enlightenment Secret Societies, and more. This expedition grants insights into finding your inner illumination.

Ready to delve into the monomyth and other cultural dreams of ancient and prehistoric man? Get your Nous dirty with some archaeology? This leads us to understand the truth behind such primordial myths as the cosmic egg, the cosmic mountain, cyclical time, the hero’s journey, and more. In the end, what the world of archetypes delivers is an actual clash of myths and clash of civilizations in the form of the TMT controversy in Hawaii.

Astral Guest — Bernie Taylor, author of Before Orion:

We are obsessed with the topics of robotics, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism. These ideas were explored in ancient Greek myths and philosophy. We take a journey into humanity’s eternal impulse to create sentient tech – from the tale of Talos to the rebellion of Prometheus, from Aristotle’s speculation on slave automatons to early attempts at cyborgs.

Astral Guest – Adrienne Mayor, author of Gods and Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology, as well as professor at Stanf

In modern times, man has attempted both ambitious scientific and magical experiments. These experiments are sometimes connected. We explore these connections that include the Montauk Project, The Philadelphia Experiment, and several Babalon Workings. This inspection covers the lives of several occult luminaries like Jack Parson, Aleister Crowley, L. Ron Hubbard, Marjorie Cameron, and more.

Astral Guest – Peter Moon, author of The Montauk Project

It's a deep dive into the mystic and occult themes behind Game of Thrones, including a foundational Gnostic narrative. Is the Night King the Demiurge? Are the Children of the Forest a representation of the fallen Sophia? What do all the religions of Westeros represent, and what are the Jungian Campbellian ideas behind many of the characters? And much more, including a discussion on whether the last season was any good.

What exactly are the Archons? Are they rebellious angels? Extraterrestrial invaders or alien mind parasites? We present a special show on the Powers and Principalities with two brilliant thinkers. Just as important as understanding the reality of the Archons, we gain the insights and tools to overthrow their tyrannical yoke on humanity and a dying planet.

Astral Guests:

Jay Weidner, writer and director of The Last Avatar and Kubrick’s Odyssey

Laurence Galian, author of Alien Parasites

Ready for some William Blake, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, William Wordsworth and other shamans of Classic Gnosis? It's an in-depth exploration of the Romantic Poets including their legacy on modern esoterica and society in general.

Astral Guests -- Kevin Kiely and Aria Ligi.

We explore the crucial but little-known concept in occultism known as the egregore — an autonomous psychic entity created by a shared group mind. It is sustained by belief, ritual, and sacrifice, relying for its existence on the devotion of an assembly of people, whether it’s a small coven to an entire country. This thought-form or collective meme can take on a life of its own, becoming an independent deity that can create despots or change history.

Astral Guest – Mark Stavish, author of Egregores

We explore a new magical philosophy focusing on the consciousness alteration, shamanistic Gnosis, and building a community based on mutual compassion along with ancestor veneration. It focuses less on results and more on personal development paired with harmonious group dynamics. The goal of this occult system is to reintroduce the world to tribalism in a modern, accepting context, always group-inclusive but supreme in championing the individual.

Astral Guest – Threskiornis, author of Emergent Magick
