In this interview I am once again joined by Martin Faulks: author, hermeticist, meditation adept, and memory expert.

Martin takes us through a journey of the remarkable people he has encountered in his life as an occultist and meditation practitioner.

Including his close inner circle of adepts, a famous American Ninja, Bohemian occult masters, Freemason private detectives, nature mystics, and more.

Martin also discusses his own career as a teacher, how he deals with online haters and stalkers, and why it is that so many students fall out from their teachers.
