Today’s greatest personification of death is Santa Muerte or “Holy Death.” This deity/saint is associated with protection and safe passage to the afterlife, as well as a patron to those marginalized in society. We explore the rituals, theology, and history of Santa Muerte, including her syncretic origins in European and Aztec lore.

Astral Guest — Tracey Rollin, author of Santa Muerte: The History, Rituals, and Magic of Our Lady of the Holy Death.

The Gospel of Philip remains one of the most insightful yet approachable texts from the Nag Hammadi library. This Valentinian work grants deep understanding into the culture and theology of ancient Gnosticism, from precise rituals to the intimate relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. We explore the history, doctrines, and layers of meaning of this lost gospel.

Astral Guest — James Brantingham, author of The Gospel of Philip: A New Translation.

CG Jung left many tools of Gnosis behind, including the concepts of synchronicity, archetypes, and projection. We explore in depth these and other avenues of individuation — as well as how they can relate to our own lives in a modern world. We also delve into the Swiss Magician’s life and how it informed his ideas, covering his relationship with the Gnostics, Alchemists, and other esoteric groups. It’s an in-depth exploration of Jung.

Can Gnosis translate to a modern context and assist the awakening of people in today’s frenetic yet shallow culture? We explore the incredible and timeless gifts of this special “knowing” — and how such concepts as the Archons, Initiation, Pleroma, Wisdom, and others are just as relevant today if viewed through the unified lenses of myth and reason.

We celebrate with the unique Gnostic approach to several paranormal issues, full of data and experience. Even more, our roundtable of guests discusses their stories of alien encounters and magical living, granting sober advice on how to access the spirit world and survive the archon-ruled universe. In the end, we gain tools from various traditions to navigate the empty works of the Demiurge.

What is a witch and what is a witch in the context of modern culture? Who is the Divine Feminine and is she returning to a world burning with hostile solar forces? We answer these charged questions and go deep into understanding how everyone can unleash their inner witch with the right contemplation, attitude, and magical living. Lastly, we explore the Gnostic Sophia, and how her fall and redemption can work for your own liberation.

We take an exploration of dreaming history, science, traditions, and practices from prehistory to today. We Examine ancient dream traditions from around the world. Of course, we understand dream psychology as well as Carl Jung’s views on dreaming — also investigating the practices of dream incubation, lucid dreaming, and telepathic dreaming.

Guest — Tom Verner, author of The Transformational Power of Dreaming.

We find the deepest insights into the mind behind Blade Runner, Minority Report, Total Recall, and The Man in the High Castle. Even the most ardent Dickian scholar will find novel dimensions on this modern Gnostic saint — from startling truths about his mystical experiences including 2-3-74 to what he actually thought of Star Trek. What motivated him to write about futures that have become reality?

Astral Guest — Tessa Dick, author of Conversations with Philip K. Dick.

Do you have Gnostic tendencies? You probably ought to have more than tendencies to survive these days. Our guest discusses his new book, a collection of articles dealing with ancient and modern Gnosticism. We mine this work for useful insights — including views on the Gospel of Philip and Thomas, Gnostic texts possibly written by women, the Gospel of Barnabas, empathy in the 21st century, the fall of the soul, and much more.

Astral Guest — Andrew Phillip Smith, author of Gnostic Tendenciesls.

Valentinus is considered as one of the great mystics and thinkers of early Christian history — even if his Gnostic ideas would later brand him a heretic. Yet his theologies are gradually being embraced today in the halls of mainstream churches, even by some of the most rigid Catholic orders. We welcome the return of Valentinus, from his transcendent philosophy to his meditative rituals, more needed than ever in a civilization losing hope for meaning and a higher purpose.
