  • Great and unique content - sadly poor Audio

    Hey ye fellow travelers to the weird depths of the Great Catholic Tradition, its philosophical foundation and political implications.

    The hosts of this Podcast bring much needed holy sorcery to the Faith and approach their topic with an equal measure of knowledge and humble curiosity. I think of it as sort of a Catholic answer and companion to the Orthodox re-enchantment movement around Pageau, De Young, Kingsnorth etc. but reaches much more boldly into the Weird and outright Magical elements o... more

  • The richest seam of gold!

    Following Rod Dreher interviews led me here and what a place to be. The whole world has come alive in a new way.

    I’m very grateful for this podcast. Thanks for the work you are doing. What a Cartesian quagmire I’ve been struggling with all these years - like a crab in a barrel.

  • Open Letter from a fellow Christian Hermeticist

    My dearest Sebastian and Company,

    I only just recently discovered your podcast after having made it half way through Mystics, Magic, and Monasteries. Somehow, through the egregorian algorithm of the internet, Providence stepped in and presented your episode Deep Magic - the Highest Mariology.

    What can I say? At the end of the podcast I was overwhelmed with the “gift of tears”. Wonder, joy, and sadness grafted together into a communion I cannot faithfully describe or explain. Eucatastrophe?
