Artist, ritualist and clothing designer, Katie Martin joins us this week for a bumper episode.

Katie accompanied me on an ayahuasca dieta in the jungle last year, so the story weaves in and around spirit-based healing methods; the difference between costume and ritual garments; the function and power of performance, how you can use ritual thinking with your own clothing; as a thorough look at how magically operant people can respond to serious health diagnoses.

Super, super fun.

Super fun video chat with the legendary Miguel Conner of Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio.

We discuss what constitutes cyberpunk, it's origins, influences and many gnostic parallels. Then we run through a top 10 cyberpunk films -carefully selected for our current apocalypse- and then we field some questions from the premium members and patrons who followed along live.

This is the audio of a video conversation you can find on YouTube or at Rune Soup, should you wish for some visual.

Enjoy!

Very cool stuff. Check it out.

In the last of the in-person London recordings, we welcome the one and only Gary Lachman back to the show. This time, we deep dive on Jung as a person and then attempt to parse his most important ideas.

In many respects, today's show turned out to be extra-timely. Now, more than ever, we require an urgent inward turn.

Enjoy!

Very good stuff.  Enjoy!

We also talk about growing up amongst African and Southeast Asian spirit customs, mystic medieval women, Gardnerian witchcraft and a lot more.

Enjoy!

Along the way we tackle many challenging and thorny topics, such as solutionism, polarisation, despair and how to best think with our ecological crisis so that we may return to flourishing.

Excellent stuff.
