March 21, 2022 Jack Parson’s Babalon Working: A Modern Occult Mythology
In this episode, we dive into the modern myth of the Babalon Working. With a cast of characters including Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, Aleister Crowley, and Marjorie Cameron, it’s one of the major confluences of 20th century occultism. But what is it? What was done? The birth of the grey aliens? Summoning a new girlfriend, or a new aeon?
Plus— bonus Patreon content where we talk recent occultist travels, channeling the space brothers and sisters, new readings, fresh insights, and more!

February 03, 2022 PREVIEW Patreon 23: Virtual Deception, the Congress and ARE WE CURSED!?
In this Patreon-exclusive episode, we discuss the 2013 film The Congress, why it was just several years ahead of its time, and how it relates to our current historical moment. We also talk about weaponized nostalgia, Media culture, our animated future (?) and the implications of the roots of our networking technology. On the tail end we discuss the potential for our own tangential tantrum of a possible cursing from previous topics. Also stick around as we address some recent reading topics and suggestions and comments from you listeners!

January 11, 2022 Energy Vampires
In this episode, inspired by reading Don Webb’s new book: Energy Magick of the Vampyre, we chat on the nature of such a practice and on the vampire as a mythical symbol more broadly and as a strategy to the game of life (?) Also, Michael Aquino’s eyebrows slither in as well as some current events and relevant topics and little devils.

December 06, 2021 GOHAR X GRAIL with Yasmina Hashemi and M. E. Scott
On this episode we were joined by Yasmina Hashemi and M. Elizabeth Scott to discuss their ongoing project GOHAR X GRAIL. In their words GOHAR X GRAIL is a vessel for reflection uncovering the hidden influence of Iranian culture on the traditions of the British Isles & beyond. Tracing nomadic migratory patterns, histories of cultural exchange, and shared elements of psyche and mythos, we explore Iran's profound influence on the so-called 'West' as felt through music, language, storytelling, and collective – at times unconscious – symbolic understanding. In collaboration, artist Yasmina Hashemi and poet M. Elizabeth Scott seek to uncover and illuminate the unseen root system of our shared histories and find common resonance.
Yasmina and M. Elizabeth shared insights on the process of transmuting research and experience into artistic collaboration and the magic of written and spoken word, folklore and ancestral inquiry.

Elizabeth Scott is a poet and co-founder of arts collective and experimental platform Cixous72 (@cixous72)
Yasmina Hashemi is an artist and founder of ROSVAA Magazine (@rosvamagazine) , an exploration of Iranian Identity through experimental arts collective and digital production
