In this episode, I sit down with Fotoula Foteini Adrimi, author of Sacred Mysticism of Egypt and director of The ISIS School of Holistic Health, for a conversation that touched a very personal part of my lineage. The Egyptian side of my heritage has always been the hardest for me to connect with, and Fotoula’s presence felt like both a guide and a reminder of something ancient within me.

We explore the concept of Zep Tepi, the “first time” or “golden age,” when humanity lived from the truth of spirit rather than the conditioned mind. Fotoula shares how this wisdom fits into the larger cycles of time, and together we reflect on what it means to trust our spiritual experiences in a world that relies so heavily on written proof.

We also talk about the Egyptian idea of Heka, the power of creation itself, and follow threads of memory through the sacred landscapes of Kemet from the fertile “black land” to temples that have shaped both of our paths. It’s a conversation about remembering, reconnecting, and rediscovering our place in the greater story of Earth.

If you’re curious about Egyptian mysticism, ancestral threads, or the deeper rhythms of the ages, I think you’ll find this episode both grounding and inspiring.
