This week we are speaking to the co-host of one of my very favourite podcasts, Bad Gays. Author, Huw Lemmey, joins us to talk about the importance of history, what it tells us, what it doesn't tell us, and how notions such as homosexuality change over time.  Very cool stuff. Check it out.   Show Notes   Bad Gays Podcast. Bad Gays Podcast Patreon. Huw on Substack. Huw on Twitter.

 Let's make the most of my jet lag and jump right back into regular live streams the morning after I arrive back on the farm!   In this episode, we discuss    How and why Wade Davis is my hero.  The definition of adventure and why that matters for magicians.  How adventuring creates reality. Sacred travel, how it is and isn't different from adventure.  Tips and advice for your own adventures.    Then I also share some stories from the High Andes, from Lake Titicaca, from the steamy cities of Paraguay and the mountains of Southern Brazil. Note: As this was a live stream episode, and the Q&A; starts around the 92 minute mark. And it's May, so don't forget to contribute to the Missing Witches fundraising and reparations drive! 

Adventure As Epistemology | Solo Show

Hadean Press's Erzebet Barthold returns to the show this week, on the occasion of the release of Cyprian's Offices of the Spirits -the posthumously published final volume in Jake Stratton-Kent's Night School. We talk about goetia, we talk about the sublunar, we talk about English Qaballa -all the Jake hits, really. And, inevitably, we reminisce about the man himself:  His main ideas and contributions. Who influenced him and who he influenced. What future generations will make of his work. Who he was as a friend and a person.  All in all, a lovely chat, and especially timely as the snappily-titled  premium member course Grimoires: Our Greek Inheritance (The Jake Edit) starts this weekend!

Jake Stratton-Kent's Night School | Erzebet Barthold

Coming to you from the shores of Lake Titicaca! Some lessons on how to get good at magic, specifically sigil magic, learned on the road in Bolivia. The short answer is your first hundred sigils will teach you more about magic than any book ever will. The long answer is.... this podcast. Here I share my notes and observations from spending time in mountaintop villages with lineaged shamans descending directly from the Incas, San Pedro ceremonies in the mountains and client encounters in the Witches Market in La Paz. We talk about:   Desire cross-currents  Incorporating oracle cards into your enchantments  How to REALLY 'forget' about your spells so they actually come off.   Show Notes  How To Make Magical Sigils: A COMPETE Beginners Guide.  The Missing Witches fundraiser is back this year!  

How To Get Good at Magic - Notes From Bolivia | Solo Show

Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio's Miguel Conner returns to the show this week for an in-depth unpacking of claims made by Jordan Peterson, James Lindsay and others in the online Right that Marxism is actually Gnosticism. We look at   The origins of these claims.  Exactly WHERE and HOW they are wrong.  The origins of Gnosticism.  The 'true' origins of 'woke' thought.   We also explore some possible points of consent with the analysis Jordan Peterson presents regarding Lucifer and the archetypal significance of clowns, jesters and evil. Many thanks to Miguel for coming back on the show again. I have actually tried several different ways of doing this topic as a solo show since catching the discussion between Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay back in June of 2023. But imagine trying to have a discussion on the history of Gnosticism without Miguel? Turns out that was the very obvious unlock I needed all along. Enjoy! Show Notes  Catch Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio here. This is the video examining Jordan Peterson's shadow projection that I mention during the show.     

Is Marxism Gnostic? Responding To Jordan Peterson | Miguel Conner

 This week's episode is an installment in the long-running World Without Sin series, examining how we respond to monolithic media and how not every outsider is a plucky freedom fighter.   We also look at how and why it might be that all forms of expression are collapsing into a meme singularity and what this might have to do with the jester archetype.   After that there is a life update and a travel magic story. And then -on the video version only- we have a Q&A; where we speculate on the whereabouts of Kate Middleton, what's really going on with Boeing, healing from trauma patterns and G. K. Chesterton. Also, I promised I'd share some of the memes that were hard to convey in audio format, but instead, I am just sharing a link to the presentation from the livestream. It's all here if you're interested.  The show notes are just some other things that are coming up or going on, because why not?  Peter Grey's talk at Occulture Berlin 2023: Atomic Gods: Magick beyond the nuclear horizon. J. F. Martel of Weird Studies has a new course coming up this months on the films of Stanley Kubrick. This Missing Witches fundraiser that Rune Soup listeners contributed so generously is coming back around again. I probably mentioned this one a few weeks too early as I have no detail on prizes and such yet, lol.  But the link is here! Hadean Press have just released  the final Jake Stratton-Kent book we'll ever get, Cyprian's Offices of Spirits. My own fancy, pre-ordered copy is winging its way to the farm where it is useless to me for the Q2 member course will be Grimoires 2: Your Greek Inheritance (The Jake Edit) as I am currently back in South America. Lol. Anyway, more details on that closer to the date.
