  • Zionists in Sheep’s Clothing- Don’t Be Fooled

    Suffice it to say I am more than a little confused and surprised to see The Occult Rejects all over social media in the “Trust the Plan!”(yes- literally trusting ‘Q’ in 2026) space… yikes… yikes yikes yikes!!

  • Too many ads and placement awful

    There are too many ads and no thought to placement of said ads. It’s so bad, it’s hard to follow the point of many of the discussions, especially when an ad starts in the middle of someone’s talking points that it prevents the natural flow of the discussion. At least prepare the audience that an ad is coming, and place it after the guest completes a thought. It’s the most professional way to do things.

    The way it currently is, this show is not worth following.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Mark Sedgwick on Traditionalism, Sufism, and Esotericism
Q: Are Western esoteric circles romanticizing Sufism and misunderstanding it?
Sedgwick acknowledges romanticization and discusses the importance of understanding Sufism as a lived practice with both intellectual and practical dimensions, not just an abstract set of texts.
Dr. Mark Sedgwick on Traditionalism, Sufism, and Esotericism
Q: How do traditionalists' ideas move across Islamic, European, and esoteric circles?
He outlines the trajectory from Guénon's esoteric readings and Vedanta influence to the adoption and adaptation of these ideas in Cairo, Paris, and beyond, emphasizing translation, reinterpretation, and cross-cultural exchange.
Dr. Mark Sedgwick on Traditionalism, Sufism, and Esotericism
Q: What made you start looking into the group in Italy?
Sedgwick explains his initial focus on Sufism in the Muslim world and how interactions with Italian scholars drew him toward studying a traditionalist Sufi order in Italy, which led to broader work on traditionalism.
Demonology as Devourment Without a Devourer with Oren Ben Yosef
Q: You mentioned ritual technology and media as potential master rituals; can modern media systems be understood as part of ritualistic behavior that reshapes attention, emotion, and belief?
Judith and Oren discuss how media acts like a repeating ritual that shapes perception and behavior, while the host probes the limits of linking ritual to technology; the consensus is that digital platforms function as pervasive rituals that affect attention and belief, though they caution against overextending the comparison.
Demonology as Devourment Without a Devourer with Oren Ben Yosef
Q: One thing I did want to ask you, just like right off the bat, when people hear the word demonology, what do you mean by your redefinition and why did you feel the need to redefine it?
Oren explains that demonology, in his view, should be understood as a secular, philosophical problem about forces that act beyond individual will, including technology and media, rather than a fixed catalog of external spirits; demons are a gravity well of inhumanity that can consume sovereignty.
