In this Episode we talk to Edward Butler of https://henadology.wordpress.com/

Mr Butler tests the limits of understanding with some profound insight, and wonderful commentary on later Platonists such as Proclus.

We cover so many interesting topics such as the nature of the Forms, the Logoi, the Ineffability of the Gods, Idiotes, the infrastructure of Being, Daimons, Zeus as Nous, the principal of the One, the relationship of the Henads to the One and the procession of Being, and much more. You know, some light topics...

In this episode we were fortunate enough to talk to the very generous Professor Greg Shaw about Iamblichus and his theurgy. Its obvious that professor Shaw has explored this content on a very deep level. We discussed many topics including the nature and role of Daimons, and the practical application of prayer, meditation and the use of Sunthemata in theurgy. We also touched on the role of Hecate as well as using Jungian models for exploring the practice. Professor Shaw's work:

This is the second episode with a focus on the Tarot.

We had the wonderful opportunity to interview artist, author and practitioner Robert Place on today's show. We talked alchemy, Hermes, Dracula, Pythagoras and more...as well as discussed in depth Robert's multiple influential decks. Enjoy!

We continue our conversation on the controversial Simon with returning guest Alex Rivera.

This time we focused more on the theology and philosophy of the Samaritan Magus. The universal fire, the boundless power, the fallen first thought, the 6 roots of the cosmos...and more.

Roundtable discussion with Alex Rivera from https://theaeoneye.com/. 

We dive deep into the topic of Simon Magus in this episode. Alexandrian trained Samaritan magician, and perhaps the father of Gnosticism. We cover his associations with Jesus, John the Baptist and others. You will not find a more thorough assessment of Simon then you will here. Lets dispel some myths together and find the truth.

We continue and conclude (for now) our conversation on Hermes and Hermeticism. We look at some of the moral lessons in the Corpus Hermeticum...including the ideas of redemption and salvation. We also explore the concept of the immortality of the cosmos.

We continue the theme of ancient cosmology in episode 2 with a look at Hermeticism.

We are painted a picture of the beginnings of creation through the Corpus Hermeticum.

Specifically the book called Poimandres.
