Aaron David is joined by Erik Arneson of Arnemancy and My Alchemical Bromance podcast. Erik has over 25 years of experience with Tarot and has studied Hermeticism for almost two decades. His studies have given him a deep and knowledgeable connection to the cards. Erik says, "Reading cards for another person is intended to simply be entertainment, but there is definitely a message that the cards convey. Their images speak to archetypal ideas within us, and that’s a tool that can be used for greater self-awareness and communication with our unconscious minds."

Spiro and Aaron David have a chat with Len about his research and work pertaining to the the Stele of Jeu from the Greek Magical Papyri. It is a rite that is at the center of the Western Esoteric Tradition and has been known as "The Bornless Rite", "The Headless Ritual", "The Preliminary Invocation of the Goetia," "The Invocation of the Heart Girt with a Serpent" and of course, Liber Samekh. 

Len has translated Dimitri Meeks' paper pertaining to the Masked Headless God, from French, and you can find that right here.

Show Len some CtW love by giving his work a thumbs up! This interview brings me closer yet to having some grasp of my own experience of the Akephalos. If you enjoy the show, please share it around!

Kelly and Aaron David reveal more dream revelations pertaining to the Solar Eclipse and then Aaron David's interview with returning guest Spiro Nidelkos of triplesnake.com! This was a rather spontaneous conversation covering many topics, from Crowley to Headlessness to glossolalia, Ganesha and much more!

As a side note, the dreams we talk about were read in Charm the Water's Patreon only After Hours #2. The two original blog posts of the dreams can be found on Aaron David's old blog, Hodos Holos.

Aaron David talks about the Heart Sutra, the 14th Aethyr, Crowley, the A.A., Zen Koans, Chaos, Babalon, the City of Pyramids, Binah, and how it is all these things relate....maybe...

Things are getting pretty weird at the old farmhouse in Mars Hill. Aaron David and Kelly share spooky true stories from their new residence in the woods. Included is a sound bite that caused Aaron David to stop recording the show Wednesday night (it was probably an owl).

Broadcasting from where the mountains end, Aaron David rambles as if moonstruck, answering such questions as why you can't sit in Lotus, why it is tick tock and not tock tick, and why Virgo is about to give birth.

Aaron David sniffs around the realm of the dharmas, having his first most impressive meditation experience and discovering the great wondrousness of nothing along with Fazang the Conjurer.

Aaron David and Kelly get you fired up for becoming obsessed with treasure hunting. First, you'll need a Drache, which you can read a bit about and a lot more here in The Thinker's Garden.

THE Earth being inhabited, as I have before said unto thee, by a great number of Celestial Beings and Spirits, who by their subtilty and prevision know the places wherein treasures are hidden, and seeing that it often happeneth that those men who undertake a search for these said treasures are molested and sometimes put to death by the aforesaid Spirits, which are called Gnomes; which, however, is not done through the Avarice of these said Gnomes, a Spirit being incapable of possessing anything, having no material senses wherewith to bring it into use, but because these Spirits, who are enemies of the passions, are equally so of Avarice, unto which men are so much inclined; and foreseeing the evil ends for which these treasures will be employed have some interest and aim in maintaining the earth in its condition of price and value, seeing that they are its inhabitants, and when they slightly disturb the workers in such kind of treasures, it is a warning which they give them to cease from the work, and if it happen that the greedy importunity of the aforesaid workers oblige them to continue, notwithstanding the aforesaid warnings, the Spirits, irritated by their despising the same, frequently put the workmen to death. But know, O my Son, that from the time that thou shalt have the good fortune to be familiar with such kinds of Spirits, and that thou shalt be able by means of what I have taught thee to make them submit unto thine orders, they will be happy to give thee, and to make thee partaker in that which they uselessly possess, provided that thine object and end shall be to make a good use thereof.

Aaron David is joined with Kelly in a relaxed conversation on house-hunting, dreams, the dangers of meditation and finally the release of Birto/Thuban's seal for use in treasure hunting!
