Embark on a mystical journey through the annals of history, where the veils of truth and mysticism intertwine in a mesmerizing dance. In this enchanting episode, we delve deep into the captivating realm of the Roman Catholic Church and its adept utilization of the arcane art of propaganda. Witness how the Church, with its fervent desire to suppress alternative avenues of mysticism and spirituality, wove intricate webs of deceit and manipulation. Unveiling the secrets of this clandestine operation, we unravel the plight of the brave souls known as "Heretics," with a particular focus on the enigmatic Cathars. These innocent seekers of divine wisdom faced grave accusations, unfounded and devoid of truth.

Together, let us traverse the labyrinthine corridors of time and uncover the triumphs of the Catholic Church's crusades against perceived incongruous beliefs and behaviors. At the forefront of this spiritual battleground, we encounter the mysterious order of Priests known as the Dominicans. Bound by their allegiance to the Church, they ruthlessly subdued the followers of ancient Christianity, bending them to the Church's will. Yet, the echoes of this historical saga still reverberate in the corridors of our collective consciousness. Peer into the depths of our minds and witness how the seeds of Catholic Church propaganda continue to take root, fostering a pernicious phenomenon known as toxic shame.

Come, dear listener, as we traverse the ethereal tapestry of time, exploring the mystical underpinnings of our shared history. Discover the veiled truths and hidden wisdom that lie dormant within, awaiting the awakening of your curious soul.

The Masters of Wisdom are reputed to be enlightened beings identified by the Theosophists Helena Blavatsky, Henry S. Olcott, Alfred Percy Sinnett, and others. These Theosophists claimed to have met some of the so-called Masters during their lifetimes in different parts of the world. Sometimes they are referred to by Theosophists as Elder Brothers of the Human Race, Adepts, Mahatmas, or simply as The Masters.

K. Paul Johnson suggests in his book The Masters Revealed: Madame Blavatsky and Myth of the Great White Lodge that the Masters that Madame Blavatsky claimed she had personally met are idealizations of certain people she had met during her lifetime. We may never know the truth about the Mahatmas Blavatsky claimed to have met. However, we cannot deny the power held by some of the most prominent spiritual figures in history and the threads of ancient wisdom they've weaved for us all to follow.

There is a strange and persistent legend that probably originates in the East. It proposes that in some hidden locations on the earth (generally the highlands of Central Asia, particularly Tibet, although other sites, such as the Andes and even some mountains in the U.S., such as the Grand Tetons and Mt. Shasta, are mentioned at times), there exists a group of persons who possess both exceptional powers and a highly perfected character and consciousness. They are known variously as the Hierarchy of Adepts, the Great White Lodge, the Great White Brotherhood, the Masters, or simply the Hierarchy.

We all know about our declining attention spans due to social media. That’s nothing new. However, we’re beginning to see the profound impact of digital technology on something called “deep reading”, critical thinking, and societal discourse at large.

Together, we’ll delve into an article that examines the transformation of reading habits, exploring the concept of "deep literacy" as a cognitive process that nurtures abstract thought, empathy, and creativity. Through our exploration, you’ll better understand the historical significance of deep literacy's role in shaping modernity and individual agency, and how the rise of digital devices challenges this essential cognitive skill.

From the addictive nature of technology to the erosion of attention spans, we reflect on the consequences for personal reflection, creativity, and empathy. Join me on a journey through the evolution of reading and its implications for our capacity to engage deeply with ideas and one another.

In his 1960 lecture "The Value of Psychotic Experience," Alan Watts delved into the realm of altered consciousness. With a mesmerizing blend of insight and empathy, Watts explored how unconventional states of mind, often deemed 'psychotic,' could unveil profound insights into the nature of reality and human perception. He gently guided listeners through a journey of understanding, suggesting that these experiences, though challenging, might offer glimpses of a deeper connection between the mystical and the mind. Watts' words illuminate the hidden wisdom that can arise from the most mysterious corners of our psyche.

Alan Watts (1915–1973) was a captivating British-American philosopher, writer, and speaker. Renowned for his unique ability to distill Eastern philosophy and mysticism for Western audiences, he explored profound concepts about the nature of reality, consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all things. With a soothing voice and insightful perspective, Watts continues to inspire listeners with his timeless wisdom and thought-provoking musings on existence, making him a luminary in the world of mystical philosophy.

This marks part 1 of a 5-part series where I will read aloud chapters from Manly P. Hall's “The Wisdom of the Knowing Ones: Gnosticism, the Key to Esoteric Christianity,” a collection of inter-related essays concerning the "esoteric keys" to the early movement of Christianity.

In this episode, we'll be reading the introduction of the book, titled "What Do The Knowers Know?" Together, we'll explore the importance of the 1945 dicovery of the Nag Hammadi Codices, a collection of early Christian Gnostic texts, which were originally written in the 2nd and 4th centuries AD.

What you'll learn:

• What is Gnosticism?
• What were the main Gnostic beliefs and practices?
• What does Gnosticism have to do with esoteric Christianity?
• What is the significance of the Nag Hammadi library and what sacred texts were found there??
• Is Jesus in the Nag Hammadi writings?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Manly Palmer Hall was a Canadian author, lecturer, astrologer, mystic, and Freemason. Over his 70-year career he gave thousands of lectures and published over 150 volumes of written work. Early in his life, he became drawn to mysticism, esoteric philosophies, and their underlying principles. While visiting London in the early 1930s, Hall acquired from an auction agent at Sotheby's, a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts about alchemy and esotericism. Owing to economic conditions resulting from the Great Depression, he acquired the collection for an insanely low price due to the economic circumstances of the time.

Self-remembering" is an esoteric practice focused on cultivating heightened self-awareness. Practitioners observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without judgment, fostering mindfulness in the present moment. This technique encourages detachment from ego-driven tendencies and the pursuit of a deeper, authentic self. It serves as a valuable tool on the path to personal awakening and self-realization. By consistently applying self-remembering, individuals aim to transcend their conditioned consciousness and move towards enlightenment. Unlike mantra meditation, the method of self-remembering - also known as "atma vichara "or "self-abidence" -  is very simple, completely effortless and can become continuous throughout all activities.

Yeats’ professional life was the perfection of the art of poetry, it was intertwined with a personal preoccupation, the study and practice of magic—not in any metaphorical sense, but the dedicated pursuit of supernatural powers based upon the ancient traditions of alchemy and necromancy, which began in his youth and persisted to the end of his long life.

In this second episode of our three-part American Alchemy series, the focus shifts to John Winthrop Jr. and the culmination of his alchemical endeavors in New London. Acting as the eyes and ears of the Royal Society of London, Winthrop sought homegrown talent for his alchemical project, becoming a central figure in the American colonies' intellectual landscape. He enlisted the help of local alchemists, including George Starkey and others associated with Harvard or arriving from England and Bermuda.

Winthrop's alchemical pursuits extended beyond experimentation to creating a medical center in New London, where he treated patients from across the colonies and Europe. His medicines, often based on antimony and nitre, gained popularity, and Winthrop organized a network of female healers to distribute them. Despite his success, Winthrop contemplated closing or moving New London in 1650 but ultimately expanded the project, and by 1657, he became the governor of Connecticut.

Connecticut, initially a Puritan colony, faced changes with the restoration of the monarchy. Winthrop's father-in-law, Charles II, posed a potential threat, and Winthrop sailed to England in 1661. His absence marked the onset of a witch-hunt in Connecticut, reflecting the challenges and tensions within Puritan culture. Winthrop's diplomatic skills were instrumental in negotiating with the English crown and ensuring a degree of autonomy for Connecticut.

The episode delves into the interconnected lives of alchemists within Winthrop's circle, such as Robert Childe, Elias Ashmole, and Gershom Bulkeley. Their pursuits ranged from alchemy and Rosicrucianism to astronomy and medicine. The text emphasizes the complexities of their beliefs and practices, showcasing a diverse group bound by a shared interest in the esoteric.

As Connecticut faced political changes, Winthrop's role evolved, and he navigated the shifting dynamics while continuing his alchemical experiments.

The episode concludes with Winthrop's legacy, contemplating the end of an era as New England faced challenges that would pave the way for the establishment of the United States of America. The narrative highlights the intertwining of alchemy, politics, and cultural shifts in the development of the American colonies.

In the first part of this three-part series, join me on a fascinating exploration of America's hidden history, delving into the convergence of alchemy, mysticism, and early scientific endeavors that shaped the nation's intellectual landscape. Our journey begins with the surprising influence of Puritan alchemists in the founding of America, unraveling a tapestry woven with extraordinary characters, daring experiments, and unlikely friendships. The alchemical community, connected across continents and oceans, played a pivotal role in shaping a cosmopolitan movement for cultural evolution.

As we navigate through the annals of history, we encounter the ambivalent relationship of American colonists with traditional Christian congregations, revealing a religious landscape rich with occult and magical practices. The Huguenots, refugees of war, brought with them Paracelsian medicine and alchemical pursuits to the New World, influencing the cultural melting pot and leaving an indelible mark on American Protestantism.

The episode unfolds with a deep dive into the aftermath of the Rosicrucian movement in Europe and its migration to America, where secret societies and alchemists sought refuge from the turmoil of war. Visionaries like Francis Bacon and John Winthrop emerge as key figures, their alchemical knowledge influencing the establishment of colonies, iron foundries, and even the foundations of the Royal Society. The narrative takes unexpected turns as it explores the intertwining of rational thinking and the prevailing fear of imminent doom, culminating in the hope that contributions to knowledge would bring humanity closer to a prophesied Second Coming. Join us as we unravel the mystical threads that weave through the foundations of America, uncovering the alchemical secrets hidden in its history.

In this final episode of our American Alchemy series, we explore the term 'The Christian Alchemists' coined by Walter Woodward, encompassing a diverse group of practitioners with varying religious affiliations. A key figure among them was Gershom Bulkeley, an alchemist, pastor, and physician from Massachusetts. Despite his skepticism towards astrology, Bulkeley was deeply involved in Paracelsian medicine, compiling an extensive library of alchemical works and passing on his knowledge to his children.

The episode delves into the lesser-known alchemists of the 17th century New England, including Robert Childe, Elias Ashmole, and others who straddled various fields from alchemy and Rosicrucianism to astronomy and medicine. Their complex beliefs and practices reveal the multifaceted nature of the intellectual landscape in early American colonies.

We also examine the alchemical practices of individuals like Thomas Vaughan, who, despite his religious leanings, immersed himself in mysticism and alchemical studies. His deeply personal and tragic narrative with his wife Rebecca illustrates the intertwining of love, loss, and the pursuit of esoteric knowledge.

The story of John Jacob Zimmerman and his successor Johannes Kelpius sheds light on the Society of the Woman in the Wilderness and the Ephrata Cloister, communities devoted to astrology, sacred music, and esoteric Christianity. Their unique practices and beliefs represent an offshoot of the Rosicrucian movement in America.

The episode concludes with a reflection on the waning influence of alchemy as a cultural force in the colonies by the 18th century, giving way to more orthodox forms of Christianity. However, the alchemical and astrological roots of early colonial America left an indelible mark on American cultural identity, showcasing the nation's ongoing fascination with transformation, both spiritual and material.

This narrative of American Alchemy, blending science, mysticism, and spirituality, highlights the complex and often contradictory foundations of early American society and its enduring legacy.

This episode plunges into the depths of the Rennes-le-Château mystery, where Berenger Saunière, a seemingly modest priest, unearthed secrets that could redefine our understanding of history. His discovery, sparked by renovations in a small French church, led to astonishing theories about hidden treasures, the Ark of the Covenant, and the bloodlines of Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

As we peel back layers of history, art, and symbolism, we delve into a lesser-known but provocative element of this mystery—a triptych from the church of Marie Madeleine in Aix-en-Provence. Alleged to contain "Satanic" symbols, this artwork fueled fiery debates among scholars, including M.R. James, over its enigmatic details, which connect to ancient symbols of the Isis and the Triple Goddess.

Join me as we explore connections to the Philosopher’s Stone and the profound implications these symbols hold for understanding Gnostic traditions and the sacred feminine. We question the conventional boundaries between the divine and profane, exploring how historical narratives are constructed and how they could be masking profound truths about our spiritual heritage.

Prepare to rethink everything you know about history, spirituality, and the art that binds them. This journey through time and thought reveals a narrative where myth, history, and art converge, offering transformative insights into the mysteries of the Rennes-le-Château and beyond.

In this multi-episode series, we explore the ancient fairy tale "The Handless Maiden," collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1812, through the lens of astrologer and mystic Jessica Davidson's brilliant online essays. The story follows a young woman whose father, in a desperate deal with the devil, sacrifices her hands for wealth and convenience. Her subsequent journey through the forest in search of healing reflects the "dark night of the soul" process—a transformative period where individuals confront their deepest wounds and emerge renewed.

Through this series, we'll read each of Jessica Davidson's articles as we uncover the tale's profound themes of betrayal, loss, and redemption, exploring how it serves as an archetypal guide for healing and transformation. By understanding the characters as aspects of our own psyche, we'll see how "The Handless Maiden" offers valuable insights into reclaiming our feeling nature, healing old wounds, and finding wholeness in times of darkness.

Covered in Part 1:

In the first episode of our series, we'll explore the symbolism behind "A Deal With the Devil" and the concept of dismemberment. The story begins with a broken miller who unknowingly bargains away his own daughter. As we dissect the first part of the tale, we'll uncover the miller's fractured psyche and examine the naive innocence of the maiden, who becomes the unwitting victim of her father's greed.

We'll delve into how the severing of her hands represents the betrayal of the feminine, disempowering the psyche and symbolizing the loss of control over one's life. Despite her father's submission to the devil's demands, the maiden's tears serve as a powerful force of purification and protection against darkness. This gruesome yet transformative initiation leads her on a path toward healing and reconnecting with her instinctual nature. Join me as I unpack the deeply rooted archetypal themes of innocence, betrayal, and renewal in this ancient myth, setting the stage for a journey of transformation through the dark night of the soul.

Covered in Part 2:

In the second episode of our series, we continue where we left off: three years after the devil made his deal. He returns to claim his payment—the maiden. Despite her father's compliance and his attempt to sever her hands, the maiden’s tears become a powerful force of purification and protection, frustrating the devil's plans. Furious, the devil orders the miller to cut off his daughter's hands, but even this gruesome act cannot dim her light.

We then explore the symbolism behind "Entering the Forest," as the maiden leaves her parents and embarks on a journey into the underworld. Her wounds bandaged in white, she finds herself guided by an angel to a royal garden filled with pear trees. Despite her dismemberment, the maiden finds solace in nature and is nourished by a single pear offered by the Tree of Life.

Join me as we uncover how the severing of her hands symbolizes the betrayal of the feminine and loss of innocence, and how her journey into the forest represents a descent into the underworld, where she reconnects with her instinctual nature and inner wisdom. We'll discuss the deeply rooted archetypal themes of sacrifice, dismemberment, and renewal, setting the stage for the next chapter of her transformative journey through the dark night of the soul.

Covered in Part 3:

In the third episode of our series, we delve into "Love in the Underworld," where the maiden, now in the king's orchard, encounters a new chapter of her journey. The king discovers her presence in his garden and captivated by her spirit, marries her despite her bloody stumps. He has silver hands crafted for her, elevating her to the status of queen. However, this new union, symbolizing the sacred marriage between conscious and unconscious, remains incomplete due to the artificiality of the silver hands.

We then follow her journey further into the underworld with "The Devil Returns." Despite her newfound love and status, the king is called away to war, leaving his mother to care for the queen, who is now expecting a child. As the devil manipulates messages between the queen and the king, attempting to sow chaos and destruction, the king's mother sees through the trickery and helps the queen flee with her newborn son.

Join me as we explore how this episode reveals the maiden's journey toward reconciling her instinctual feminine wisdom with a patriarchal world. We'll discuss the symbolism of the silver hands and how they reflect the disconnect between one's soul and societal expectations. Through the guidance of the king's mother and the persistent attacks of the devil, we'll uncover the archetypal themes of betrayal, renewal, and the struggle for authenticity amidst darkness.

Covered in Part 4 (Final Episode):

In this last and final episode of our series, we explore the final chapters of "The Handless Maiden" through the themes of "Wandering and Waiting" and "Inner Marriage." In "Wandering and Waiting," the queen, now with silver hands and a newborn child, is forced to leave the castle due to the devil's manipulative schemes. She returns to the forest, guided by an angel to a cottage bearing the sign "Here All Dwell Free." Here, a maiden in white cares for her every need. For seven years, the queen lives in solitude, regaining her instinctual nature and reconnecting with her soul. Her tears of devotion to her child lead to the miraculous regrowth of her hands, symbolizing her reclaimed sovereignty and authentic touch on life.

In "Inner Marriage," the king returns from war only to discover his wife and child missing. Devastated, he wanders the forest for seven years, veiling his face in grief. Finally, he arrives at the cottage where the queen resides and, guided by spirit, is reunited with his wife and son. This sacred marriage represents the harmonious union of the conscious and unconscious, where the king and queen embody a balanced partnership of the masculine and feminine within the psyche.

Join me as we uncover how this final episode reveals the transformative journey of the king and queen, their seven-year wanderings through the forest, and the union that brings their fractured souls back together. We'll discuss the profound archetypal themes of healing, rebirth, and the sacred marriage, culminating in the ultimate integration of the self through the dark night of the soul.

In this deeply nurturing guided meditation, I invite you on a transformative journey that transcends the mere biological aspects of pregnancy and childbirth. This is a sacred visualization designed to help you tap into the ancient, intuitive knowledge your body holds, empowering you to trust its natural birthing capabilities. This audio journey draws from the esoteric and mythic traditions that view the act of physiological birth as a powerful rite of passage, an initiation into the profound role of motherhood.

Whether you're preparing for childbirth, envisioning it in your future, or supporting someone on this journey, this episode will help you cultivate a deep sense of trust in your body. This meditation is versatile, offering support not only before and during pregnancy but also during labor itself, helping you move through contractions with calm and confidence.

I recorded this meditation in the eighth month of my own pregnancy with my first child, bringing all of my love and intention into it with the hope that it can support others on their journey. Drawing on the principles of Hypnobirthing and the pioneering work of Grantly Dick-Read, this practice dismantles the fear-tension-pain cycle, replacing it with strength and an unwavering belief in your body's wisdom.

Through the protective embrace of the Black Madonna and the powerful affirmations that conclude this guided visualization, you will be guided to embrace the light and dark within, readying yourself for the sacred act of birth with grace and confidence. Join me as we honor the spiritual significance of childbirth and prepare for the miraculous journey ahead.
