John Michael Greer, an old friend of the podcast, blogs at Ecosophia -- subtitle, Toward an Ecological Spirituality. JMG has been an astute observer of the Western world's arduous economic and cultural descent, and is the author of many books, both novels and non-fiction, including Green Wizardry, After Oil, The Wealth of Nature, and Not the Future We Ordered. Star's Reach, is a novel set 400 years ahead in America's neo-medieval future. We chat about his latest book, coming out this spring, The King in Orange, a meditation on the relationship between archetype psychology and the occult as acted out in politics and culture.
