  • Always a Surprise

    Alexander always amazes with the depth of his knowledge- this the listener should expect. But once in a while he will intone a ritual as an example- and Surprise! Alexander has a voice like Maynard James Keenan from ‘A Perfect Circle’ and ‘Tool’ fame! Amazing! 👍🏼👍🏼

  • The Book of Raziel

    Hello and good afternoon! I’ve just returned to listening to your podcast after an extended absence during a very tough period of my life. Now all of that is over and I am feeling more spiritually connected than ever. I just had a experience with my HGA and was informed that I should look into the grimoire of the Angel Raziel. Looking forward to what you have to say about this in the future. Keep doing what you’re doing, sending so many positive vibes your way!!! — Dj Frogboiii AKA Mr. Frogo

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

📚#179 - The Canterbury Pentacles with David Rankine | Glitch Bottle
Q: Could David describe how these pentacles were believed to work and how they were consecrated and enchanted?
The power is activated either by looking at the image pentacles or by reading and reciting the associated charms; timing, incense, and the water of Hisop are essential for consecration, and the pentacles can be customized or rebuilt if needed. A practical approach is to craft new pentacles for specific tasks rather than forcing an existing one to do everything, and to maintain discipline around the Latin prayers and Psalms.
#172 - Magic Older Than The Gods & Egyptian Coffin Texts with Jack Grayle | Glitch Bottle
Q: How would you say that the Egyptian Coffin Texts are relevant today for today's practitioners?
Jack discusses the importance of the Coffin Texts as they embody the empowering aspects of magic, allowing modern practitioners to channel divine power and assert their worth.
#171 - The Ordo Templi Astartes & American Magick with Poke Runyon, Max Paul, & Johnny Royal
Q: From your perspective, why do you think that human beings require such a diversity of systems to return to what appears to be a universal core?
Poke explains that while traditions may be diverse, they all ultimately rest on the same principles, and Max adds that the Pareto principle suggests different methods suit different individuals.
#171 - The Ordo Templi Astartes & American Magick with Poke Runyon, Max Paul, & Johnny Royal
Q: Can you outline that ritual or comment on how to use Enochian for galactic contact?
Poke outlines using the Enochian materials to create a pyramid, which allows contact with galactic intelligences, sharing an experience at a Galactic Council.
#170 - Shattering Fossils & Humanizing Agrippa with Dr. Justin Sledge
Q: What are some misconceptions about Agrippa?
Dr. Sledge explains that people often treat Agrippa's work as a reference book rather than appreciating its systematic spiritual philosophy and that misconceptions exist regarding his belief in magic.
