Fred Crisman remains a personal rabbit hole of weirdness, so much so that the odd story of "Murder of A City, Tacoma," gets too often overlooked.

These thoughts are appended to my previous video on PD Ouspensky: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Sb0sazkTAO4KKQ9w7ys9R

PD Ouspensky's "Letters from Russia" 1919 was published in 1978 by Routeledge & Kegan Paul. [Sorry for the terrible audio, guys. Microphone mishap.]

This discussion arose out of email exchange.

Keith Joseph is an instructor with the Institute for Hermetic Studies, which is located in northeast Pennsylvania and which offers various materials for students of esoterica at https://institute-for-hermetic-studies.teachable.com/

In our email, Keith nonchalantly mentioned that he felt Karl Marx was the prophet of the Kali Yuga. I instantly responded that we needed to discuss. Keith was gracious enough to respond in the affirmative. This was a fun, fascinating conversation that I trust you'll all find vastly entertaining.

KristaLyn is an astrologer and the head of the Modern School of Ancient Wisdom. KristaLyn is also a Christian and a practitioner of Braucherei, a form of Christian folk magic still practiced by some Pennsylvania Dutch to this day.

Dendera is the best-preserved temple complex in Egypt. It's most famous feature is its ceiling, the "Zodiac of Dendera," which rivals the Sistine Chapel in terms of the intricacy and breadth of artwork. Software engineer, data architect, and thinker Jose Barrera took over 5,000 pictures of the ceiling and wrote software that stitched them all together in a seamless whole.
