It only perpetuates the myth that Magick and the Occult is only for select people. With the few number of guests on here who are people of color and genders other than men, frankly this podcast makes it feel like we as a society haven’t progressed since the era of the Golden Dawn. For example, there are plenty... more

I want to love this podcast. In fact I do in many respects. I’m a Steiner nerd and love the episodes about that. I’m also transgender. 58 trans woman. After researching some of the guests on this podcast I have found several with anti-transgender ideologies, and that’s heartbreaking. Why keep having Greer on your podcast? Are you not aware of his anti trans rhetoric, or do you do about it and are in agreement with him? There are others I could point to, but I’ll leave it here for now. Such a dis... more

hi James i look forward to every episode....thank you for following your interests and inspirations. i have a technical request- can you increase the overall volume of your recording output ?? your episodes are quieter than many others i listen to, and while i love the intimacy of your conversation, simply increasing the master level would be most helpful when we're listening in the world!!
thank u! r o b
