Ready to turn on, tune in, and drop out into some serious gnosis? I’m joined by Joseph L. Flatley to discuss his new book, The Occult Timothy Leary: The Tarot, Magical States, and Post-Terrestrial Evolution. We’ll explore the hidden esoteric life of a renowned psychedelic pioneer, tracing his transformation from a Harvard psychology professor into a fugitive philosopher of the occult. You’ll delve into the development of the eight-circuit model of consciousness and a unique interpretation of the Tarot designed to map human evolution from its unicellular origins to a post-terrestrial future. And we’ll further examine how Western mystical traditions and futuristic technological visions merged during the counterculture era to redefine human potential and the quest for immortality.

Gnostic thought has liberated countless minds and divine sparks for millennia. Yet its dark side has spawned history-changing and society-destroying movements and individuals, some of which threaten humanity today. Is this just exploited Gnosis, or does the tradition simply possess black-magic power that humanity should perhaps avoid? We’ll take a look at various case studies, many that will shock you in their leveraging of a Sophia you may never want to encounter in your physical or astral travels.

Ready for some magical and economic sovereignty? Todd Elliott joins me to discuss The Cunning Farmer: Agrarian Magical Practices, Mythology, and Folklore. Discover the hidden intersection of agricultural labor and the ancient arts of magic designed to help listeners re-enchant the land they tend. Todd will delve into practical techniques such as using lunar phases for planting, reciting ancient psalms for weather magic, and cultivating mysterious “baneful” plants for spiritual work. You will learn how to communicate with the genius loci, or the unique spirit of a place, while fostering relationships with the unseen entities that inhabit the soil and forests. By blending Western esotericism with traditional folk practices, we’ll seek to “rewild the imagination” and restore the sacred role of the human as a mediator between the heavens and the Earth.

As an equinox celebration, let’s have Bernie Taylor give us both the true and esoteric dope on a timeless myth that will be a cultural event later this year. Explore how legendary figures like Odysseus utilized tales of monsters and ghosts as strategic narratives to secure resources and passage home. He’ll draw a direct comparison between these ancient survival tactics and filmmakers’ need to satisfy backers in pursuit of riches and prestige. This investigation into the power of storytelling culminates in an examination of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming 2026 production of The Odyssey and the specific audience for which it is being crafted.

It’s a pleasure to be joined by Dr. Anya Foxen to discuss her outstanding research, which explores how East and West esotericism meet and manifest in modern times. Kevin Cann joins me as a sorta co-hots, but you know he’ll share many a serpent’s secrets. What is the core purpose and gifts of kundalini practices? How has the West influenced Yoga (and vice versa), and can we find parallels with disciplines such as alchemy and magic? Rest assured that this “snakes and ladders” journey will lead to startling truths and guides to your own spiritual practices.

It’s an honor to host Gnostic Bishop and researcher Nathan Wilson at the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll share that Second Temple–era Judaism reveals a landscape of diverse sects, scriptures, and competing visions of God that challenge modern assumptions about ancient faith. He’ll trace mystic and proto‑Gnostic groups such as the Essenes, Therapeutae, and related movements, highlighting their cosmology, practices, and conflicts with temple authority. We’ll reframe Jesus and his operation within this contested religious world, using original Greek and Jewish sources to reinterpret figures such as the Devil, Archons, and the “ruler of this world.” In the end, you’ll find that early mystical movements emphasized liberation, justice for the vulnerable, and resistance to corrupt power structures.

Let’s get out of the Black Iron Prison as author and mystic Mariah De Aurum joins me to discuss Mother Wisdom and contemporary Gnostic solutions. This exploration includes her book, The Guidebook to the Goddess Who Became the World. Modern Gnosticism invites seekers to move beyond religious dogma by reclaiming the paramount principle of Gnosis: direct experiential knowledge and trust in one’s own innate human faculties. The journey focuses on the revelation of the Aeon Sophia, the divine Luciferian feminine principle who transformed into our living planet, dreaming humanity alive in every moment from the soil beneath our feet. By decoding historical symbols like Baphomet and embracing sacred ecology, this path reveals how we can share in Gaia’s “cunning” power and align with the sweet order of the natural world.
