In this captivating episode of the Truth and Shadow Podcast, host BT delves into the enigmatic world of the Holy Grail and the Cathars with guest Richard Stanley, a renowned filmmaker and author. Richard shares his insights into the historical and mystical significance of Montségur, a site steeped in legend and the focal point of Otto Rahn's quest for the Grail. The conversation explores the intersection of myth and history, examining how the past continues to influence the present. Richard discusses his ongoing projects, including his book "Grail Hunter," which chronicles the life of Otto Rahn, a German-Jewish scholar whose search for the Grail led him into the heart of the Nazi regime. The episode also touches on Richard's upcoming film projects and his thoughts on the enduring allure of forbidden knowledge. Join us as we journey through time and uncover the secrets of the past with Richard Stanley.Richard Stanley's Official WebsiteBook: Otto Rahn, Grail Hunter
Good morning. Desmond Morris the zoologist, tv presenter and best-selling author who died at the weekend at the age of 98, owed his fame to his book, The Naked Ape. The book was published close on 60 years ago and was a runaway success - it was translated into at least 23 languages and sold more than 20 million copies. Not everyone loved it - though controversy is never bad for sales - and Morris himself used to like to tell the tale of a heated confrontation with a group of clergyman in Canada over whether humans and/or chimpanzees possessed a soul. Morris's slogan was that 'man is a risen ape and not a fallen angel' and certain Christian groups were said to have burnt the book. The funny thing about that slogan is that it is certainly no part of mainline Christian teaching that humans are fallen angels. The person most often thought of in such terms is the devil, and even that notion was a fringe one - ironically perhaps, some of the outliers who seem to have thought that the devil and humans might be fallen angels, such as the Cathars, were themselves burnt as heretics, with or without any books. So if we take away the false dichotomy in Morris's slogan, we are left with the assertion that 'man is a risen ape'. But as I look around me at the world we humans are making, I'm not sure how risen we are - in fact the main problem for our self-understanding is not that Darwin and his later followers have caused us to think too little of ourselves, but that in spite of Darwin - and in fact in spite of Christian teaching too - we are still inclined to think too much of ourselves. The most central and crucial affirmation of the myths of creation in the book of Genesis is that humans - along with everything else in the cosmos - are creatures. We talk about bringing someone who is getting a bit high and mighty down to earth - and the line in Genesis chapter 2, 'the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground', is meant to do just that. No hint of angelic origins here - we are made from the stuff that we wash from our feet and swill down the drain. Humility - originally from the Latin, humus, for ground or earth - is the right disposition for someone who knows the stuff from which they are made. Apes we may well be, but we are the only apes who, with an overweening sense of our own capacities lord it over each other and over the rest of the created order, bending them and it to our purposes, producing political dystopias on the one hand, and threatening environmental disaster on the other. It turns out in fact, then, that Desmond Morris was not doing us humans down, but perhaps sugaring the pill - we are not so much risen apes as fallen ones.
Professor Rick Spence is back and he's covering a lot of ground. He's a retired Professor, an author, repeat presenter of The Great Courses, and co-host of As Strange As It Seems podcast.We cover the mythos and history of the Templars, how they might relate to Freemasons and others, and try to separate fact from legend. We also learn about the Yezidi, the Druze, and Rastafarianism. We touch on Cathars, Johnians and Manicheism. I'm sure I forgot a few.

We live on top of a 200 foot layer of limestone, dolomite, and sandstone and houses and buildings of the community are made of these three stones.Catharism, a "heretical" sect represented a threat to the permanence of the Roman Catholic Church. 1209-1229 was the period of the Albigensian Crusade, a genocide funded by Pope Innocent III during which over 400,000 Cathars were obliterated by the Church. The sect no longer exists.The Fifth Industrial Revolution, based on batteries and electricity grids, is a fifth example of impermanence, as we have to go through extraordinary pain to wean ourselves of fossil fuels.Adventures with our Citroen AmiDavid made 1800 bars.

In this powerful interview, Pam Gregory returns to Just Tap In Podcast to unveil the extraordinary astrological forces shaping the years ahead — including the 2026 Cosmic Reset, the incoming 12,000-year cycle shift, and why the recent 3I/ATLAS comet served only as the trigger for a much larger metamorphosis.

After receiving such wonderful feedback on our Gnostic show, we decided to dig into some research on the Cathars. Who were they? Why did the Catholic church see them as such a threat?

Late one night in rural Iowa, a driver on a routine trip found himself stalked by strange lights that morphed into otherworldly shapes and seemed to close in on his car. In this eerie episode we explore how a simple journey turned into a night of fear as luminous orbs and towering figures appeared out of the darkness, hinting at something far beyond ordinary understanding. We talk about the unsettling dangers of UFO encounters, the unnerving sense of being pursued by something unknown, and what such incidents might reveal about forces that can reach into our world without warning. Then for our Plus+ Members we journey into the mist covered Pyrenees and follow hidden Cathar trails, encounter eerie hooded figures, phantom plasma hands and castles that glow with an unearthly light.

St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was a mystic, an anointed prophet, a reformer, theologian, poet, teacher, and preacher. Over eight centuries ago, she wrote, “Today the Catholic faith is in a state of agitation, on a global scale. The gospel limps its way around the world; the early Church fathers, who wrote so well, are ignored; people are apathetic; they refuse to read and taste the nourishment in the Scriptures.” Links To get a sense of what the Cathars were all about, here's the Way of the Fathers episode on gnosticism: https://youtu.be/JYeyevLBF4I?si=rr0eWytzOAuHyPfH Carmen Acevedo Butcher's Hildegard of Bingen: A Spiritual Reader: https://paracletepress.com/products/hildegard-of-bingen-doctor-of-the-church?_pos=1&_sid=82546e597&_ss=r Playlist of Hildegard's Music on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nJez_L5_xEzOeIgUp4rEsPrdri_ZJIG-E Playlist of Richard Souther's VISION: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kAiH-A34ukq1uYyDEBJ3-Qpzwbxf0-U-Y Margot Fassler's Cosmos, Liturgy, and the Arts in the Twelfth Century: Hildegard's Illuminated "Scivias" https://www.pennpress.org/9781512823073/cosmos-liturgy-and-the-arts-in-the-twelfth-century/ The Camrbidge Companion to Hildegard of Bingen: https://www.cambridge.org/us/universitypress/subjects/literature/european-literature/cambridge-companion-hildegard-bingen?format=PB&isbn=9781108457811 SIGN UP for Catholic Culture's Newsletter: https://www.catholicculture.org/newsletters/ DONATE at: http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio Dr. Papandrea's Homepage: http://www.jimpapandrea.com Dr. Papandrea's YouTube channel, The Original Church: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOriginalChurch To ask questions, make comments, or interact with Dr. Papandrea, join the conversation in the Original Church Community: https://theoriginalchurch.locals.com/ Theme Music: Gaudeamus (Introit for the Feast of All Saints), sung by Jeff Ostrowski.

St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was a visionary, teacher, Abbess, composer, theologian, painter, and the first woman in history to be given papal approval to preach in public. Four centuries before the emergence of the “Renaissance Man,” there was Hildegard of Bingen. Usually known mostly for her music (and rightfully so) there is so much more to this medieval mystic.

Uncover the untold story behind "The Secret War That Shaped France's Future" in this insightful episode! Join us for a deep dive into the Albigensian Crusade, a critical examination of a brutal 13th-century holy war that obliterated the Cathars and forever transformed Southern France. Was this conflict about faith, or a calculated power grab cloaked in piety? This unique perspective explores the hidden agendas, conspiracies, and devastating impacts that reshaped a nation.We'll discuss the vibrant culture of the Languedoc, the rise of the Cathars, and the church's relentless 20-year campaign to crush them. From the massacre at Béziers to the siege of Montségur, this is a story of betrayal, power, and the enduring questions about what the church sought to bury—lost knowledge, ancient secrets, or something even more sinister? Historians like Mark Pegg and R.I. Moore provide context to this must-watch analysis that challenges mainstream narratives.Dive into the origins of the modern inquisition, the role of crusaders like Simon de Montfort, and the fallout that paved the way for a unified France. Could these events still echo in today's battles over freedom and truth? Let's connect the dots and explore how power, control, and censorship remain relevant in our modern world.Engage with this thought-provoking discussion—drop your theories in the comments, like, and subscribe to join the conversation.

In this episode of Truth in Shadow, host BT delves into the enigmatic symbol of Baphomet, exploring its historical roots and the misconceptions surrounding it. Joined by historian Dr. Heather Lynn, they discuss the connections between Baphomet, the Knights Templar, the Assassins, and the Cathars, revealing how these groups influenced the perception of this symbol throughout history. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the origins of symbols to demystify their power and significance. In this conversation, BT and Dr.Lynn delve into the intricate connections between dualism, wisdom, and the symbolic representations of figures like Sophia and Baphomet. They explore the historical context of the Templars, the Renaissance revival of occult knowledge, and the pivotal role of Eliphas Levi in shaping the modern understanding of Baphomet. The discussion culminates in the significance of inspiration and transformation in the interpretation of these symbols, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of their meanings across different contexts.Dr. Lynn Website: www.drheatherlynn.com
In Judaism, God has been conceived in a variety of ways. Traditionally, Judaism holds that Yahweh—the god of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the national god of the Israelites—delivered them from captivity in Egypt, and gave them the 10 Commandments at Mount Sinai as described in the Torah. But in Gnostic sects like the Cathars, which became prevalent between the 12th and 14th centuries after Christ, Yahweh is viewed as the Demiurge or Satan, the creator of the material world, including man, whose sole purpose is to keep mankind enslaved from reaching their true potential in the "good" realm. Joel pulls back the curtain on the Gnostic idea that Yahweh is an evil entity who craves blood and war with no regard for human existence. He explores the convoluted history of the Cathars who believed that there were not one, but two Gods—the good God of Heaven of the New Testament and the evil god of this age from the Old Testament. Lastly, Joel compares proof texts from the Bible itself, from the Old and New Testament, to give us an eye-opening look at Jesus's own words of who He really is.

The Garden welcomes back Professor Richard Spence to do deeper dives into some of the well known historic occult groups. From the Essenes to the Freemasons, we touch on many well known groups or schools of thought, and try to draw throughlines where possible. We also discuss some popular media and a bit of fact checking. Is there a direct connection between the Cathars and Templars? What was the relationship between the Templars and the Assassins? We touch on our old friends, the Gnostics. Is Mary connected to the Cult of Isis? What did Dan Brown do and not do? In this almost 2200 year survey, we hit a lot.Professor Spence is a Professor Emeritus from the University of Idaho. He has authored several books and has presented the lectures for several The Great Courses.
Today the Pugs reflect on a Substack article by N. S. Lyons entitled, The Reality War. This insightful piece notes that we are living through a revival of the most pernicious of all heresies--Gnosticism. The bitter irony of our time is it is occurring in what many people have wrongly assumed is the triumph of materialism. Lyons begins with recounting the bloody Crusade the Medieval Church waged against the Cathars, then he explores three manifestations of Gnosticism in our time: "Scientific Gnosticism," "Luxury Gnosticism," and finally, and counter-intuitively, "Reactionary Gnosticism." The Pugs consider each and wonder how we can fight them in our time.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Third Week of Advent Lectionary: 193The Saint of the day is Saint Hildegard of BingenSaint Hildegard of Bingen's Story Abbess, artist, author, composer, mystic, pharmacist, poet, preacher, theologian—where to begin in describing this remarkable woman? Born into a noble family, she was instructed for ten years by the holy woman Blessed Jutta. When Hildegard was 18, she became a Benedictine nun at the Monastery of Saint Disibodenberg. Ordered by her confessor to write down the visions that she had received since the age of three, Hildegard took ten years to write her Scivias (Know the Ways). Pope Eugene III read it, and in 1147, encouraged her to continue writing. Her Book of the Merits of Life and Book of Divine Works followed. She wrote over 300 letters to people who sought her advice; she also composed short works on medicine and physiology, and sought advice from contemporaries such as Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Hildegard's visions caused her to see humans as “living sparks” of God's love, coming from God as daylight comes from the sun. Sin destroyed the original harmony of creation; Christ's redeeming death and resurrection opened up new possibilities. Virtuous living reduces the estrangement from God and others that sin causes. Like all mystics, Hildegard saw the harmony of God's creation and the place of women and men in that. This unity was not apparent to many of her contemporaries. Hildegard was no stranger to controversy. The monks near her original foundation protested vigorously when she moved her monastery to Bingen, overlooking the Rhine River. She confronted Emperor Frederick Barbarossa for supporting at least three antipopes. Hildegard challenged the Cathars, who rejected the Catholic Church claiming to follow a more pure Christianity. Between 1152 and 1162, Hildegard often preached in the Rhineland. Her monastery was placed under interdict because she had permitted the burial of a young man who had been excommunicated. She insisted that he had been reconciled with the Church and had received its sacraments before dying. Hildegard protested bitterly when the local bishop forbade the celebration of or reception of the Eucharist at the Bingen monastery, a sanction that was lifted only a few months before her death. In 2012, Hildegard was canonized and named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XVI. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on September 17. Reflection Pope Benedict spoke about Hildegard of Bingen during two of his general audiences in September 2010. He praised the humility with which she received God's gifts, and the obedience she gave Church authorities. He praised too the “rich theological content” of her mystical visions that sum up the history of salvation from creation to the end of time. During his papacy, Pope Benedict XVI said, “Let us always invoke the Holy Spirit, so that he may inspire in the Church holy and courageous women like Saint Hildegard of Bingen who, developing the gifts they have received from God, make their own special and valuable contribution to the spiritual development of our communities and of the Church in our time.” Click here for more on Saint Hildegard of Bingen!

For tonight, I tell you the stories of different "lost treasures" and other legends attached to:1- The Knights Templar, a religious military order that emerged during the Crusades but became so wealthy and influential that it made powerful enemies;2- The Cathars, a Christian sect from the 12th to 14th Centuries in Southern France and Northern Italy, which was persecuted until it disappeared;3- The Fabergé Eggs, exquisite pieces of jewelry that were made for the Romanovs in Saint Petersburg in the decades before the Russian Revolution. Out of more than fifty, six eggs are now missing, but as the story of the "Third Imperial" egg indicates, they could maybe reappear one day.

In this episode of History 102, 'WhatIfAltHist' creator Rudyard Lynch and co-host Austin Padgett talk about the Protestant Reformation, masterfully drawing parallels between historical information technology revolutions (like the printing press) and our current internet age, exploring how such advances fundamentally alter how societies process information and relate to authority. They offer fresh perspectives on well-worn historical territory, suggesting for instance that the Reformation wasn't just about religious doctrine, but represented a quantum leap in human agency and individualism that helped birth the modern world. --

But what was it about their beliefs that was so outrageous to the orthodox medieval church? And why was their existence quickly snuffed out? Speaking to Emily Briffett, historian Claire Taylor reveals more about the Cathars' way of life and the efforts made to suppress them.

In this episode of Spanish Loops, the focus shifts to the origins and expansion of the Inquisition across Europe, beginning with the French Inquisition. This system of religious persecution was initially established in the 12th century to combat heresy, primarily targeting the Cathars. The episode then delves into how the Spanish Inquisition emerged in the late 15th century, notably under the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. Spain's iteration became notorious for its intensity, driven by the monarchy and religious leaders to consolidate power and unify the country under Catholicism. The chapter also explores the spread of inquisitions across Europe, notably in Italy and Portugal, during the rise of Protestantism. This program emphasizes how these inquisitions were used to maintain religious control amid the birth of new churches and movements distancing themselves from Catholicism, such as Lutheranism and Calvinism. We hope you like this immersive and delicate program made with intensity from us!

Remember the late '80s when thrash metal was roaring through the underground, just waiting to explode? Those were the days when Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax were solidifying their places as the big four of thrash. But amidst these giants, bands like Paradox were carving their unique paths with blistering riffs and complex compositions that sometimes flew under the radar. If you're the type of metalhead who loves to dig through the crates at your local record store, hoping to stumble upon something you might have missed, then Paradox's 1989 release “Heresy” is the treasure you've been looking for.Paradox formed in Würzburg, Germany, in 1986, led by the dynamic duo of Charlie Steinhauer and Alex Blaha. Initially part of a cover band paying homage to acts like Overkill and Venom, they quickly transitioned to creating their original sound. By 1987, they had inked a deal with Roadrunner Records, a label synonymous with underground metal. Their debut, “Product of Imagination,” set the stage, but it was their sophomore effort, “Heresy,” that really made waves in the metal community.Imagine discovering an album purely by accident on a metal blog, where a quick 30-second sample convinces you that you've struck gold. That's precisely what happened when Tim stumbled upon “Heresy.” This album is a masterclass in thrash, delivering the speed, technical prowess, and raw energy defining the genre while infusing progressive elements that set it apart.From the opening acoustic strains that segue into ferocious thrash anthems, “Heresy” grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Tracks like “Kill Time” showcase the band's insane technical skills, with 30-second note melodies played at breakneck speeds. It's not just about speed and aggression; Paradox brings a level of musicianship and melody often lost in thrash's chaos.A standout track, “Search for Perfection,” features harmonized leads that are as captivating as they are complex. These guys aren't just about playing fast; they're about playing smart, weaving intricate guitar lines that demand repeat listens to appreciate fully. The tracks “Heresy” and “700 Years On” blend the historical narrative with relentless riffs, creating a listening experience that's both intellectually and sonically stimulating.What makes “Heresy” particularly fascinating is its concept. The album delves into the Albigensian Crusade of the 13th century, a campaign initiated by Pope Innocent III to eradicate Catharism in southern France. This historical depth adds a layer of intrigue, making the lyrics worth diving into despite their rapid-fire delivery.The production, handled by Harris Johns (known for his work with Celtic Frost, Kreator, and Sodom), ensures that every note and beat hits with precision and power. No wonder this album still sounds fresh today, able to stand toe-to-toe with modern thrash releases.The band's journey didn't end with “Heresy.” After a hiatus, they returned in 2000 with “Collision Course” and have since released several albums, including “Heresy II: End of a Legend” in 2021. While line-up changes have been frequent, Charlie Steinhauer remains the driving force, keeping the spirit of Paradox alive and thrashing.So next time you're flipping through vinyl, keep an eye out for “Heresy.” Whether a $32 import or a hidden gem in the bargain bin, it's a worthy addition to any thrash aficionado's collection. And if you're still on the fence, take a listen on your preferred streaming platform. This is thrash metal at its finest, and it might just become your new favorite discovery.Songs In This EpisodeIntro - Heresy 15:29 - Killtime 16:55 - Search for Perfection 21:01 - Castle in the Wind 24:47 - Massacre of the Cathars 27:26 - 700 Years On Outro - Crusaders RevengeMake Your Metal Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 80s metal, we rely on you, our listeners.

In April of 2024, a group of starseeds who met at the starseed quests, went to South France after Angela Franks (a Starseed Quest alumni), received divine guidance from Goddess to go. It was nearly a year after receiving the guidance to go, that the trip came to fruition. Eight starseeds made the journey, from Ireland, England and the US meeting in France to honor Mary Magdalene, Yeshua, the Essenes and Cathars. Their journey spanned the Languedoc region as well as Marseille and surrounding sites. Intense inner preparation happened for each person prior to the trip. The journey was clearly and divinely guided. Each starseed carried a unique power of presence, synergizing a group dynamic that catalyzed a magical and powerful journey. The experience married both challenge and magic, calling each member to step into their next level of personal evolution! They realized they were following THE WAY to their inner self love as well as unconditional love for each other, mirroring THE WAY of the Essenes and Cathars, set forth by Yeshua and Mary Magdalene. There was deep remembrance of the past, a releasing of that which no longer served, and blossoming of unconditional love within the group. They were present during the April 20th conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus, in unplanned divine, galactic timing. They were guided to use sound together throughout their whole journey culminating in a mystical ocean cave that resembled a womb. Tonight, Angela will share their mystical journey they experienced together. Angela is a vessel to channel the creation of powerful orgonite devices to assist with the ascension of humanity by bringing in the new earth frequencies - working with healing the land and bringing in new light codes to expand and evolve human consciousness. Her work is guided and carries a deep connection to the power of crystals and sacred geometry/symbols. Anastasia's Starseed News is up first!
[originally published on Patreon Sep 23, 2022] Today's the final installment of the Cathar series, dropped a few days early because I'll be busy next week. I finally did it - an Angleton episode. I discuss the life and times of James Jesus Angleton. I argue that there's something new for listeners with any level of Angleton familiarity. I discuss Soviet defectors, the Trust, Kim Philby, Anatoly Golitsyn and Yuri Nosenko, MKULTRA, the Lovestone empire, the Israelis, the USS Liberty, the Monster Plot, and Edward Clare Petty. It's my grandiose contention that I advance the theory of Angleton-as-mole one step further by looking at Petty's career. Finally, I look at Angleton's conception of himself and the spiritual implications of espionage. artwork by my loving and deranged wife, entitled "Crazy Frogleton" Songs: various tracks from the Good Shepherd OST selections from the Nosenko interrogation - Feb 23, 1964 - Reel 13 & Reel 12: Nick and Subject, record 104-10534-10006
[originally published on Patreon Sep 18, 2022] Today much is revealed including the source of the dissertation I've been using for Cathar research. I discuss Cicely d'Autremont starting with her family history, her early life, her love of James Jesus Angleton, their rocky marriage, the Georgetown Set, and her time in France. Then it becomes Programmed to Chill's Poetry Hour as a I read several of her poems which range from nice to disconcerting. Finally, I reveal exactly why I've been so fixated on this dissertation. shout-out @EzerakL and @DrBlobb Songs: Bay of Pigs from the Good Shepherd OST Frederick's Lure ‘' Embraceable You ‘'
[originally published on Patreon Sep 10, 2022] In part 2 of 4, I revisit and reiterate the Cathars' cosmology and the situation leading up to the Albigensian crusade. Along the way I discuss Thomas Pynchon and his essay on the Luddites. Then I discuss the period of time immediately before and leading up to the Albigensian Crusade, namely two Cistercian preaching missions to the Languedoc. One of these was spearheaded by Bernard of Clairvaux. In particular, I utilize a dissertation which posits alternate or additional, dare I say parapolitical reasons for these preaching missions. This, too, is setup for the following episode. Songs: Balferd Baldrs by Burzum
[originally published on Patreon Sep 4, 2022] Today's the first of four episodes on the Cathars, a series which is going to be much more relevant to P2C's interests than you might initially think. This episode is very much a straightforward account of the history of the Cathars, their origins and beliefs, an account of the Albigensian Crusade, the inquisition, and and overview of the modern-day neo-Cathar movement, such as it is. Big payoffs in this series in episodes 3 and 4. Songs: Die Liebe Nerpus by Burzum Portal by Burzum Massacre of the Cathars by Paradox
