The ever insightful Angie Speaks dropped by to talk about Alan Moore's esoteric odyssey, Promethea.

We talk about AI companions, the black iron prison finger trap, Moore's ambiguously optimistic take on the cyberfuture, the challenges of identifying the macro with the micro, the world as a reflection of self, the digital & imaginal, Carl Jung & the unconscious, and much more.

It was a treat to chat with Angie and we're excited to follow her new podcast MYSTIC AND THE MACHINE and check out the Patreon.

The hilarious and fascinating horror author David Simmons delighted us with occult stories of rappers and the disturbing metaphysics behind the "smokin' on" phenomenon, Baltimore's Cal Ripken streak-breaker legend and other local lore, the genius of total spook of a movie "Life Is Hot In Cracktown", patron hood ghosts, mutant high-rise projects gangs, his undying love for his city, the rituals of inner city life, loving what you do and where you are, reclaiming personal power, varying kinds of crazy coming from varying kinds of drugs, addiction, systemic aggression, the Company's weaponized plants, and much, much more.

Esteemed pagan recontextualizer, author, and all around cunning & charming guy Rhyd Wildermuth was kind enough to come share his delightfully Gnostic thoughts and reflections on Philip Pullman's now classic fantasy series His Dark Materials, along with the psyops and spirits of alienation that inevitably follow closely behind. We get into it about angels and their possible roles in empire, the necessity of the antihero, the insufferability of adults, daisy chains of products, ideas, and realities. As usual, it was a pleasure listening to his well-armed mind do the dance of noticing and we hope he enjoyed it half as much as we did.

(When Rhyd's time was up Kurt and Rev found themselves with a lot left to say from the usual low-brow-with-occasional-wisdom mode, but it's becoming more obvious that the absurdity which serves to mask their legitimacy is but a worn band-aid flapping in the breeze.)

In this episode the boys go full nerd at the chance to talk with Gary Noriyuki about Thai ghosts and prai metaphysics related to Art of the Devil 2 & Thai sorcery, what it's like collaborating with Ajarn Apichai & being a Quimbanda priest, how to gracefully and respectfully integrate multiple traditions, the endless and impossible beauty in dirt, Sak Yant & Gary's original magical tattoo practice, the genius of being in-flow, Baphomet, the importance of meditation, and how a cultivated intuition makes anything possible. We talk about much more than this, but I figure you're better off spending the time hearing the talk instead of reading the description. Thank you again, Gary. It was an honor and a pleasure to have you aboard. Be sure to check out his amulets, both original and otherwise, as it takes a good magician to know an amulet worth selling and Gary's stuff is incredible.

Our friend Remy said she was going to watch Road House as Mars remediation and we all simultaneously felt an episode stir in the darkness.

We go off about the wild world of fan fiction, slinging and receiving curses, justice, force, & vengeance, comic cons, comics for robots, Remy's genius astro take on the film, Hades & other video games, what goes in must come out & imaginal foie gras, and a very special story involving the 10 of swords and Nemesis. We feel blessed to have gotten such meaningful and personal stories in this episode. Thank you, Remy! And everyone out there better watch the vampire show if Remy says to watch the vampire show. Just saying.

We were graced with author, artist, woodworker, voice actor, rap aficionado, and radio personality Kelby Losack to talk about The Wailing's mysterious plot points and metaphysics, Kelby's new book Mercy, rebellious natures, ghosts & shadow folk, woke trauma, navigating rebellious natures, deadlines, hollow likes & the Fed feed, diagnoses as curses, the N word, shit times on drugs, DIY recovery, real street magic, Berserk & other stories, the creative hustle, flat earthers & other dangerous dreamers, the importance of the art posse, organically grown conversations, degrees of possession, channeling vs writing stories, the inner magnet, and much more. Kelby is one of the most real and easy to hang out with people on the planet and this was just so much fun. Buy his books both because they're really fun to read and for the sake of fresh art in the world.

We were completely delighted to have talked with J David Osborne about the comic series Scalped, therapy, rapidly changing social norms, the endless nuance in good crime stories, the difference between realizing you're on the ride and actually grabbing the wheel, JDO/411, Alex Jones, real spirit stories, the supposed death of the innocent question, and more cool stuff I can't remember right now! This was such a blast and a joy.

Owen came on the show to share the good news about the new flesh. We discuss the reality/entertainment matrix, the medium as the message, internet programming reality, one way communication, acting in L.A., the incoming shitstorm of strikes, chatting up Metatron, choice vs synchronicity, and much more. Lots of laughs in this one despite Rev being a feverish snot machine. This was a really fun show. Here's David Bowie saying the internet is an alien: https://youtu.be/YbeXIMhf8sI
