In this week’s episode we explore the reality-bending paradigm of a largely unknown group of unhinged Chaos Magicians who sprouted from the philosophy department of Warwick University, England- the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit or CCRU. Under the direction of Sadie Plant and Nick Land the CCRU would develop exotic, paradigm shifting concepts like cyberpositivity, cyberfeminism and hyperstition. In the free section of the show we explore these ideas in depth and how the CCRU got its prodigal start. In the extended version of the show we quite a bit down the rabbithole to investigate what the CCRU got up under the leadership of Nick Land who brought the group to the house where Aleister Crowley was born following their eviction from Warwick University. We reveal a number of strange meth pipe prophecies from the CCRU, look at some prominent examples of hyperstition from the real world and the haunting, esoteric fascination with the ghost lemurs of Madagascar. Thank you everybody and enjoy the show!

In this week’s show we traverse the perilous Backrooms of creepy-pasta fame, using its dark mythology popularized by Kane Pixels as a case-study of the nature and power of liminality. We begin by exploring the liminal space of the backrooms as they first appeared originally in their anonymous creepy-pasta format alongside other images labeled “liminal spaces.” We discuss what liminality even means and how it can be creepy, exhilarating and a powerfully nuanced feature of creation itself. We discover, as with most inspired pieces of art, the horror of the backrooms was a reflection of real world events at the time. Aside from the mental and spiritual aspects, we put on our nerd glasses to explore how liminality functions in the world of natural, physical phenomena. We then conclude the free show by revealing where and when the backrooms photo was actually taken with some light-hearted musing about the synchronicities around this discovery. In the extended show we continue our discussion of liminality by exploring the dread abode of Catholic limbo, why dogs are inherently liminal by nature and how the mighty goddess Hecate rules over this entire domain of related ideas. Heck we even explore, in its entirety, an easily performed ritual by the late Satanic Church founder Anton Lavey designed to elevate the enjoyment of liminal spaces to its maximum degree. We discuss whether the classical minotaur of Crete was trapped in a labyrinth or a maze before exploring in detail the potent magickal ideas of ancient Egypt as they pertain to liminality specifically. Its pretty surprising how old some of these now popular ideas and motifs really are. Then, right before wrapping up we visit the Vault of the Adepts to discuss how liminality is celebrated in the Hermetic tradition and how feminist author Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote about the backrooms almost exactly how they are portrayed in today’s creepypasta but  over 100 years ago. Thank you and enjoy the show! 

Things we discuss during the free-section of this episode:
The Original Backrooms Creepy Pasta
What is Liminality anyway? 
No Clip 
Being Spirited Away 
The Physics of Liminality
Kane Pixels Backrooms
The REAL Location of the Original Backrooms Image

This week sees us back for PART 2 of our deep-dive into the symbolic and occult meaning underpinning Philip K. Dick’s autobiographical, mostly-still-fiction, futuristic dystopia: A Scanner Darkly. We resume our analysis by first unpacking the symbolic meaning of the insects which haunt the characters from start to finish and what they have to do with the beetle headed god of ancient Egypt. Afterwards we explore the connection Donna has with the divine feminine in both Gnostic and Egyptian mythology, the inside scoop on Substance D, the field of reeds and the inclusion of the Thelemic N.O.X. formulae which also appears in the famous Black Lodge of Twin Peaks. In the extended version of the show we discuss the meaning of the Hawthorne plant, the layers of esoteric symbolism in the film version of Bob’s living room using the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, who Barris really is and what it all has to do with popcorn.

On this week’s show we dive back into the world of science-fiction-author extraordinaire, Philip K. Dick by looking at his break-out, dystopian, future-prophesying 1977 classic “A Scanner Darkly,” alongside its faithful 2006 film adaptation. If you’re not familiar, the movie is free on Youtube. In the free section of the show we explore the Biblical quote the title of the work is referring to and why this film and numerous other works by Philip K. Dick  could be considered gnostic in character. We dig into and find a number of gems by looking at the name etymology of a Scanner Darkly’s characters, starting of course with Bob which reveals numerous connections to gnostic and ancient Egyptian wisdom. In the extended edition of the show we go even deeper into what is really going on in the iconic medical examination scene. By looking at Egyptian hieroglyphs we get some heavy insight into the meaning behind the symbols used in the scene and triangulate an ancient myth which reflects ALL the major themes in A Scanner Darkly. If that were not enough we even find how the gematria value of the examination room reflects these ideas in a coherent way that further clarifies the deeper narrative behind Philip K. Dick’s strangely charming and tortured tale before concluding with a discussion about which order of angel is responsible for reading Freck’s endless list of sins - thank you and enjoy the show! 

In this week’s show we discuss:
The Title from Corinthians
The Kenoma and Black Iron Prison
Etymology of Bob
A Sun God

On this week’s episode we discuss wildly prolific and conspiratorially provocative Steve Jackson game “Illuminati” which, despite its creation in 1975 continues to predict future events with uncanny accuracy. Often appearing without explanation on anonymous image boards and social media posts, the Illuminati card game has been a staple of the online paranormal and conspiracy community for decades. In the first half of the show we finally get to the bottom of how the cards were created and the government's illegal attempt to sabotage the game in the wake of its commercial success. In the extended version of the show we continue our tour of the most provocative and disturbing predictions the card game portrays in its artwork before exploring the occult mechanism behind how it happened in the first place.

On this week’s episode we dive into part 2 of our series on Dion Fortune’s quintessential occult classic, Psychic Self Defense. First, we kick things off by discussing the often claimed yet poorly understood phenomena of interacting with people possessed of a non-human soul, how drunk-sex creates them accidentally and the psychic danger of geography overly concentrated in currents of elemental energy. We also touch upon the dangers implicit in ceremonial magic, how to deal with lunatics, and the threat of accidently becoming involved in a “Black Lodge" following a step-by-step description of how to formulate a psychic attack from scratch. In the extended version of the show we finally dive into the various methods of psychic self defense, consecrating holy water, the method of absorbing evil entities and even how to perform both the highly protective ritual of the Rosy Cross and the Greater Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram. Thank you and enjoy the show!

With Fortune as our guide we discuss the practical wisdom of how to deal with a psychic attack, the precaution you should take to avoid it and a whole lot of practical occult theory to help us understand how it all works. In the free show topics include signs of psychic attack, how the subconscious mind works to curse or protect us, to banish or not to banish, how to send a psychic attack, the etheric double, natural witches, vampires and even discuss a few inappropriately antiquated racial stereotypes that rear their ugly head within the text. In the extended edition of the show we discuss the first lines of defense against a psychic attack and how to respond on the physical plane before jumping in head-first to a step-by-step explanation of how to perform both the highly protective Qabbalistic Cross and Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.

On this week’s episode we discuss the highly contentious and taboo topic of masturbation(?!) to explore if there are any physical, mental or spiritual benefits to either extreme abstinence or uninhibited indulgence. We talk about the popular no-fap movement, government psyops and folk superstitions before digging into the hard science behind some of the claims commonly made of either extreme. What happens in the brain during orgasm anyway? Ted Bundy and Marquis De Sade then make an appearance to discuss their thoughts about pornography. In the extended version of the show we discuss semen retention as a traditional occult practice, the physiology of orgasm (male and female) and what any of this could possibly do with the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Aleister Crowley then shows up to the party to explain to us how to achieve Eroto-Comatose Lucidity and what the Ancient Egyptians thought about the topic of sex and sanctity. As a warning, we talk quite a bit about sex in this episode so it’s not safe for work or kids. This episode might also be offensive to people who feel strongly polarized on the issue because we’re exploring the nuance behind a lot of big claims from all sides. We also decided it was probably best to proclaim that we are not kink shaming anyone and are advocates of sexual freedom and as long as all parties involved are capable of and do consent. Thank you everybody and enjoy the show! 

On this week’s episode we discuss:
The Power of The Orgasm 
The No Fap Movement
Benefits of Semen Retention?
Mainstream Media Chamber of Echoes 
Folk Superstition 
Psychological Warfare
Your Brain On Orgasms
What The Science Says
Is Pornography… bad? 

In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we take the discussion way further and discuss:
Semen Retention as an Occult Practice
Yoga
The Physiology of Many Orgasms 
Occult Significance of Bodily Fluids
Eroto-Comatose Lucidity
The Qabalah of Orgasm
Ancient Egyptian Beliefs
