The Grey Lodge Podcast

This episode is about the Voynich Manuscript...a bit of its history and speculation about what its purpose is. Took me for-bloody-ever to actually get this to work. This is probably the 3rd or 4th recording of it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-cosma/support

In light of a great number of techinical difficulties and life hitting kinda hard, I am releasing here some commentary on Chinese Internal Martial Arts that I have touched on on YouTube in the recent past. This is not a sweeping, comprehensive take. If I were Dan Carlin it would be more a Hardcore History Addendum then the main channel with 6, 3hr long episodes or the like. It is a topic that could be that long and thorough and maybe, at some point, I will do. For now, and until I can rerecord things that were lost- here is A Brief History of Internal Kung Fu --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-cosma/support

I do enjoy Frank Herbert's masterpiece Dune. And now, in 2021, a new film version has been released and I saw it and I discuss it here. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-cosma/support

In this episode, I continue (and finish) my discussion about the "Do What Thou Wilt..." line from Crowley's Thelema. I bring up more from his bood Magic Without Tears and breakdown some of his lines from that. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-cosma/support

In this episode, I explore the meaning and function of Aleister Crowley's famous "Do What Thou Wilt..." mantra, and how it shouldn't be used to excuse poor behavior and choices. We also talk about its connection with other modalities of thought. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-cosma/support

In this episode, I begin a (probably) regular trend of talking about a couple of articles of the previous month and commentary regarding them. I also get into a bit of local haunted attractions I frequent. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-cosma/support

In this begining epidsode, I introduce myself and the show and then get into a discussion about being careful of things or people that try to sell things in an easy and fast way. We're talking mostly things like energy work, spirituality, religion, psychology and the like more than, say, a car or an appliance. Be careful of those who try and tell you that things that really do take work and effort to do, can be shortcutted in some brand new way that no one in 8,000 years has every thought of before. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-cosma/support
