Dr. Dan Attrell of The Modern Hermeticist enters the mind meld! 

Video Version

Dr. Dan Attrell is a classicist, translator of magical texts like the Picatrix, and the creator of The Modern Hermeticist. We riff on the surprising connections between the esoteric, Platonism, and Hermeticism, and Terence McKenna. Why do ancient metaphysics — ideas like the One, the daimon, and the chain of being — still resonate in the age of UFOs, and simulation theory? What does Terence McKenna have to do with this? Does be belong in the lineage of Platonists? We also dive into: The hidden structure of reality, visionary entity encounters, how ancient esoteric philosophy maps onto modern mystical experience, why symbols, language, and consciousness are gateways to higher worlds. If you're curious about the intersections between ancient wisdom, consciousness, psychedelics, and the nature of reality, this mind meld is for you.
