Picatrix — The Forbidden Grimoire Blending Divine Wisdom with Dark Science

NEW EPISODES EVERY THUESDAY AND FRIDAY!!!! GL Deep Dives is not just a podcast—it is a journey into the unknown, an exploration of the mysteries that shape our world and challenge our understanding of reality. Hosted by Gorgorod, the show is built on curiosity, critical thinking, and the refusal to accept easy answers. Every episode is an invitation to look beyond the surface, to pull back the veil of the ordinary, and to question what lies beneath the stories humanity has carried for millennia.At its heart, GL Deep Dives is about wonder—the deep human drive to explore the unanswered questions of existence. From ancient religions and forgotten civilizations to the nature of consciousness, from myths that shaped cultures to phenomena science has yet to fully explain, the podcast embraces the mysteries that continue to fascinate us. Listeners are guided through history, philosophy, science, and folklore, connecting dots between the past, the present, and possible futures.This is not a show about providing final truths—it is a space for exploration. Dogma has no place here. Instead, every topic is approached with open-minded skepticism, balancing imagination with reason. GL Deep Dives challenges you to think critically while still leaving room for awe. It’s about asking the right questions rather than clinging to rigid answers, about holding paradoxes in your hands and recognizing that sometimes the unknown is just as valuable as the known.Each deep dive takes you into worlds both familiar and strange: the symbolic layers of human myth, the unanswered puzzles of our universe, the psychological landscapes we carry inside ourselves. Stories are not presented as mere entertainment, but as lenses—windows into the way humanity has sought meaning throughout time. The podcast highlights how myths, legends, and mysteries reflect our fears, hopes, and the eternal search for truth.For some, GL Deep Dives is a place of discovery—a way to learn about forgotten tales and hidden histories. For others, it is a mirror, reflecting back their own questions about life, death, and what might lie beyond. For all, it is a reminder that curiosity is one of humanity’s greatest strengths.What makes GL Deep Dives stand apart is its tone: thoughtful, immersive, and unafraid to venture into the shadows. It does not rush. It does not simplify. Instead, it invites you to sit with the big questions—questions about who we are, where we came from, and where we might be going. Each episode is carefully crafted to balance storytelling with insight, blending factual grounding with a willingness to imagine.If you’ve ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what’s out there… &nbsp;If you’ve ever questioned the myths passed down through generations… &nbsp;If you’ve ever felt that reality might be more mysterious than it appears… &nbsp;Then GL Deep Dives is made for you.This podcast is for the seekers—the ones who aren’t satisfied with the surface. It’s for those who understand that the world is filled with unanswered riddles, and that exploring them is as important as solving them. It’s for dreamers and skeptics alike, for believers in the strange and explorers of the mind.With every deep dive, GL Deep Dives doesn’t just deliver information—it builds an atmosphere, a state of mind, a journey. It is not a lecture but a conversation, a shared exploration of the boundaries of knowledge and the spaces where imagination begins. It is an open door into the extraordinary.So, step in. Question the obvious. Reconsider the impossible. Explore the unexplained.
