Originally issued - January 19th, 2024In this episode a very enlightening conversation with Maria Wheatley about dowsing, earth energies and her new book - The Secret Mystery of Stonehenge.Maria is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UKs top Master Dowsers.Maria is an accomplished author of books on sacred sites and dowsing. She has researched the esoteric design canons of prehistoric sites, Druidic ceremonial enclosures and the Knights Templar for many years. Maria has studied Neolithic Britain and Bronze Age prehistory with the University of Bath and alongside other professionals,Maria combines her knowledge of archaeology, and earth energies with state of the art equipment to locate and detect the hidden frequencies that the Earth emits. Believing in the Earth Force or dowsing is simply not enough for Maria, she wants to show the world that the prehistoric designers of ancient sites could locate and harness earth energy. Her findings challenge our understanding of sacred sites.Maria has lectured and given workshops in America and Europe and has also appeared on the History Channel – she managed to get several of the participants who had never before held a dowsing rod – to successfully detect ley lines at Stonehenge,In the late 1980s, Maria studied astrology and tarot and during the 1990s turned her attention to hypnotherapy, past life regression and reflexology. She has taught complimentary medicine for Swindon College for over 15 years. She has also written holistic diploma courses for private colleges such as the British School of Yoga (BSY Group).She recently founded the Avebury School of Esoteric Studies which offers certificated courses on holistic subjects including past life regression, astrology and dowsing and which is affiliated with the Association of British Correspondence Colleges. https://theaveburyexperience.co.uk/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-magical-world-of-g-michael-vasey--4432257/support.

Tomas slår sig ner hemma hos Johannes Johansson i Varberg för att utsätta honom för ett nytt programformat kallat Årtalet. Johannes presenterar den lysande bakgrunden till varför han valt just året 1968 och Tomas lägger till ett stämningssättande kluster av trivia från detsamma. Allt för att komma i rätt stämning. Och för att fördjupa sin kunskap har de båda samtalarna valt varsin film de inte sett tidigare och som av en slump blev det japanskt i båda fallen, nämligen: Kuroneko och Yokai Monsters: 100 Monsters. Vi pratar också bland annat om: Novums videoessäer, Midsommar, Alien, Rosemary's Baby, nyandlighet, oavsiktligt feministisk skräckfilm, sekularisering, den ockulta skräckfilmens utvecklingsbågar, studentprotester, Night of the Living Dead, George Romero, zombies, likätare, Vietnamkriget, medborgarrättsrörelsen, Black Power, Jordan Peeles favoritskräckis, Whistle and I´ll Come to You, MR James, The Devil Rides Out, Christopher Lee, satanister, hippies, Dennis Wheatley, Roger Corman, AIP, Hammer Horror, Witchfinder General, Michael Reeves, socialism, Vargtimmen, Ingmar Bergman, vampyrer, Onibaba, Kwaidan, kabuki, konfliktytor, klass, spökerier, folk horror, monsterkattfilm, bakeneko, yokai, onryō, yūrei, Ringu, Ju-On: The Grudge, skräckfilmen som spegel av sin samtid, genombrottet för eller eventuellt rörelsen mot den moderna skräckfilmen, men alltså framförallt skräckfilmsåret 1968 i allmänhet och Kaneto Shindōs guldrulle Kuroneko i synnerhet. Mycket nöje!

What happens when the First World War meets pulp science fiction?   This month we read the novel: Black Hand Gang (the first in the No Man's World trilogy) by Pat Kelleher. The book depicts a fictional battalion of British soldiers who are transported from the Somme to a strange alien world. As a result we discuss supernatural horror and the war, the use of slang, and whether this book was written explicitly for Chris.   References: Pat Kelleher, Black Hand Gang (No Man's Word Book 1) (2011) Daniel Dafoe, Robinson Crusoe (1719) Dennis Wheatley, The Devil Rides Out (1934) Pat Barker, Regeneration (1991) Neil Gaiman, The Sandman (1989 - present) Juno Dawson, Her Majesty's Royal Coven (2022) Reginal Hill, The Wood Beyond (1995) Blackadder Goes Forth, BBC TV (1989) Pat Mills, Charley's War (1979-1986) Brian Lumbley HG Wells HP Lovecraft

Nothing but the Night is a 1973 British horror film directed by Peter Sasdy and starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. It is based on the 1968 novel of the same name by John Blackburn.A commercial failure, the film was the only production of Charlemagne Films, cofounded by Christopher Lee and Anthony Nelson Keys (producer of may Hammer films, this was his last listing on IMDB). #BigChrisLee and Charlemagne Films optioned two other books by John Blackburn, "Portrait of Barbara" and "Bury Him Darkly", which were envisioned as sequels to this movie, with Lee re-creating the role of Colonel Bingham, but it didn't work out. They also optioned some of Dennis Wheatley's books, but only "To the Devil a Daughter" was ultimately made by "Hammer."Peter Sasdy Also directed Taste the Blood of Dracula, Countess Dracula, Hands of Ripper, The Stone Tape AND both series of Adrian Mole.Screenwriter Brian Hayles Wrote six stories for "Doctor Who" and created the Celestial Toymaker (Recently brought back in the 60th anniversary episodes), the Ice Warriors, introduced in 1967, and the feudal planet Peladon (setting for 'The Curse of Peladon' and its sequel 'The Monster of Peladon').Along with Lee and Cushing the film also features:Diana Dors as Anna HarbDors (real name Diana Mary Fluck) came to public notice as a blonde bombshell, was promoted by her first husband, Dennis Hamilton, mostly in sex film-comedies and risqué modelling. After it was revealed that Hamilton had been defrauding her, she continued to play up to her established image, and she made tabloid headlines with revelations of the celebrity sex parties reportedly held at her house (with then boyfriend Bob Monkhouse). Georgia Brown as Joan FosterWho's breakthrough role was Nancy in Oliver!, a role she created in the original 1960 London production.

In our stressful, fast-paced culture that focuses primarily on physical reality, subtle energies are often shrugged off due to their immaterial nature. We no longer commune with the moon, the sun, or the powerful earth cycles that once guided human societies. But the ancient people who miraculously built structures such as Stonehenge, Sacsayhuaman, the Puma Punku, the Great Pyramids and more... THEY were in tune with these ancient forces of nature. Will we ever understand the depth of their wisdom and capabilities? Maria Wheatley is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UKs top Master Dowsers. In this episode, you will learn practical tips that will help you reconnect with your sacred feminine nature, the subtle energies of the Earth and other planetary structures as well as the ancestral people who know so much more than we do. We discuss... What we can all learn from sacred sites How to detect earth energies The science of earth divination and how to harmonize our lives with it How to tap into the electromagnetic field of the earth and how it can change our physical body The definition of alchemy The history of magic.

Adrian Christopher Synnot Cole, the celebrated British author, was born in Plymouth, England, on July 22, 1949. His early years were shaped by a family sojourn in Malaya due to his father's military service, which instilled in him a passion for the fantasy and science fiction genres. Influenced by literary classics like Tarzan and King Solomon's Mines, as well as cinematic marvels such as "Earth versus the Flying Saucers" and the original "Classics Illustrated War of the Worlds," and the works of Algernon Blackwood, Lovecraft, and Dennis Wheatley, he developed a deep-rooted love for the extraordinary. Adrian Cole's literary journey began when he discovered "The Lord of the Rings" while working in a public library in Birmingham. This masterpiece inspired him to craft his own epic, the "Dream Lords" trilogy. His writing career expanded to encompass ghost stories, horror, and fantasy, leading to the publication of four novels in England. Notably, his captivating tales received recognition in prestigious collections, and his editorial talents shone through in curations. Beyond his literary pursuits, he held various professional roles, including that of a librarian and an educational administrator. Among his many literary contributions, one particularly intriguing story, "The Horror Under Penmire" (1974), stands out. In this chilling tale, the protagonist, Phil, embarks on a quest to locate the mythical town of Penmire in remote Cornwall, following a plea for help from his friend Roy. However, upon his arrival, he finds Roy missing, and the locals deny any knowledge of his whereabouts. Unfazed, Phil stumbles upon Roy's mysterious notations, one of which alludes to the ominous name "Dagon," a reference that resonates profoundly with fans of H.P. Lovecraft's work. This narrative weaves a web of suspense and Lovecraftian intrigue, adding another layer to Adrian Cole's multifaceted literary career.

Crime novelist Cathi Unsworth turned Goth in her teens in rural Norfolk fired by a cocktail of Dennis Wheatley, the Damned on the Peel show and the dark arts of the York Festival “Gothtopia” bill in 1984. She devoted long hours to trying to construct Robert Smith's “tarantula hair” and acquiring black lace garmentry. Something about its music and folklore chimed with a life marooned in the middle of an East Anglian beanfield pondering tales of Shuck, the fabled fire-eyed ghostly hound alleged to roam the neighbourhood at night. We talked to her about her marvellous ‘Season of the Witch: the Book of Goth' for a live podcast recorded at London's 21Soho on 25 September, a very funny and wide-ranging exchange that included … … why Goth is like no other tribe: you never make a full recovery – or ever want to. … the part played in its family tree by Aleister Crowley, Aubrey Beardsley, the Brontes, Joy Division, Magazine, the Cramps, Jim Morrison and Bobby Gentry. … why Leeds became one of Goth's key spiritual centres. … the shocking spectacle of Dave Vanian in full Stygian rig in broad daylight.  … “the three Goth Ians” - Astbury, Curtis, McCulloch. … the significance of Cabaret and A Clockwork Orange.... why Goths feel obliged to dress the part. … the romantic allure of Robert Smith against that of Nick Cave.  … the curious link between Siouxsie and Margaret Thatcher. … and how Goth keeps finding new recruits.   Order ‘Season of the Witch: the Book of Goth' here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Season-Witch-Book-Cathi-Unsworth/dp/1788706242Tickets for Word In Your Ear live at 21 Soho on October 30th here: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/ysY3FvyFaeSubscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Surgeons of Horror host Saul Muerte takes on a literary exploration of Dennis Wheatley's Library of the Occult. The first book placed under scrutiny will be Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Summer is for trashy beach novels and Dennis Wheatley's 1934 The Devil Rides Out definitely qualifies. We discuss problematic genre fiction, fake rituals, the rhetorical trap of being asked "do you believe in evil?" and racial demonology of the late British empire.Some useful scholarship: Timothy Jones, "The Black Mass as Play: Dennis Wheatley's The Devil Rides Out" M/C Journal, 17(4).

Dennis Wheatley became prolific through the 1930s to the 1960s for his novels in the thriller and occult genre.He even inspired Fleming to create James Bond.We're going to look at some of novels he considered the finest in the realms of the occult, starting with Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula has adopted many faces over the years, but what was your earliest memory of this iconic character? Join host Saul Muerte as he delves into the novel that started it all and dissect what will be the first book from Dennis Wheatley's library of the occult to go under scrutiny.

Growing up in remote rural Norfolk, crime writer Cathi Unsworth had a Goth conversion, a condition from which, she happily admits, you never fully recover. And never want to. She discovered Dennis Wheatley's ‘To The Devil A Daughter', heard Siouxsie & the Banshees on the Peel Show and saw a picture of Robert Smith in a magazine which she stuck by her bedroom mirror to help her construct his spectacular dishevelment. She's just published ‘Season Of The Witch: the Book of Goth', a highly entertaining account of the dark side of rock starting out with the Brontes, Edgar Allan Poe and Aubrey Beardsley and heading, via Jim Morrison, Jacques Brel and Nico, to Joy Division, the Cure and the Sisters of Mercy. This is a very funny and self-mocking pod in which you'll find the following … … why Yorkshire is “Goth's Own Country”. … the secret ingredient in Mac McCulloch's vertical hair. … Nick Cave - “the Dark Lord of Goth Music” (©️ the Daily Mail) – at the Coronation. … Lee Hazlewood's advice to Nancy Sinatra when recording Goth staple These Boots Are Made For Walking. … “changing into fishnet tights in the bogs at school”, rival pop gangs, mooching about in graveyards and a mate “who used to sit up trees reading Dennis Wheatley and summoning Satan”. .. the joy of crimpers and backcombing. … “spreading the virus” at the Batcave. … the inventor of the term Goth and the key Gothmothers and Gothfathers. … local folklore about hellhounds in Norfolk. … her first gig, the York Rock Festival in 1984 featuring the Bunnymen, Sisters of Mercy, Spear of Destiny and the Redskins: “Gothtopia”! … “Beer Girls and Beer Boys” and why it was best to avoid them. … dark Satanic mills. … and the greatest Goth record ever made. Order ‘Season of the Witch: the Book of Goth' here …https://www.amazon.co.uk/Season-Witch-Book-Cathi-Unsworth/dp/1788706242Subscribe to Word In Your Ear on Patreon for early - and ad-free! - access to all of our content: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Growing up in remote rural Norfolk, crime writer Cathi Unsworth had a Goth conversion, a condition from which, she happily admits, you never fully recover. And never want to.

Today, we'll have a conversation about how YOU are the CEO of your life. Many of these ideas come from a talk from Dennis Wheatley. Here are some of the high points: You need to decide to become a master of the profession you have decided to be in. You cannot control what others do, but you can develop very real competency in your field.  We each have to be aware of the clock. Every person has the same 24 hours per day - but we all have a choice on how we utilize that time. Our goal needs to be to SPEND that time well rather than trying to simply save that time.  Stop watching primetime TV. This is a great time to build wealth from 6 to 11 pm. Next, you must take ownership of the thoughts going through your mind. That which goes through your mind will direct what you do and who you become! What is your why? What helps drive you to get out of bed to run with everything you have every single day? Locking this in is critical! Commitment - what you give your time to should reflect the values and the cause that you have determined is at your core! You are in control of who you hang around! The 5 people you hang out the most will influence your life more than any other factor. Are those people making you better or worse?!

The Devil Rides Out, também conhecido como The Devil's Bride nos Estados Unidos (pois, segundo a Hammer, The Devil Rides Out soava como um filme de faroeste) e traduzido para o português como As Bodas de Satã, é um filme de terror britânico de 1968, baseado num romance ocultista de 1934 de mesmo nome do autor Dennis Wheatley. Este filme foi roteirizado por Richard Matheson (autor do livro Eu sou a Lenda), dirigido por Terence Fisher e estrelado por ninguém menos que Christopher Lee. Terrence Fisher é uma figura extremamente importante na história do cinema de horror. Ele foi o primeiro a dar vida ao horror gótico em cores e um dos primeiros a levar conotações sexuais e horror explícito para o grande público. Embora essas características possam parecer suaves para os padrões atuais, não há como negar que não havia precedentes dessa abordagem em sua época – especialmente na escala de filmes que produzia. O que é mais interessante em Terrence Fisher é que ele era reconhecidamente um conservador cristão e sua visão artística, além de beber da influência de Afred Hitchcock, era muito norteada pela fantasia de Charles Williams e C.S. Lewis. Em quase todos os seus filmes existe uma forte perspectiva cristã: muitas vezes há um herói que derrota os poderes das trevas por uma combinação de razão e fé em Deus, em contraste com outros personagens que são cegamente supersticiosos ou presos num racionalismo dogmático. Terrence Fisher em The Devil Rides Out despeja sorrateiramente o velho contéudo moral cristão da prevelência do bem contra o mal, fantasiando tudo num divertimento bobo de filme B. O satanismo aqui é mostrado como estranhos rituais carnavalizados de uma elite aristocrática – algo que ele reproduz da obra original da qual o filme foi inspirado. O embate entre o bem e o mal não toma a forma de um clássico exorcismo, mas uma espécie de guerra entre magos no melhor estilo Gandalf contra Saruman. O autor original da obra, Dennis Wheatley, chegou a conhecer pessoalmente Aleister Crowley, fez parte do London's Ghost Club (sociedade discreta de estudos paranormais) e demonstrou interesse pelo “Caminho da Mão Esquerda”. No entanto, foi lúcido o suficiente para não levar a sério toda aquela bobagem e, depois de se converter ao cristianismo, tomou o “Caminho da Literatura” para denunciar a insalubridade destas seitas que, inclusive, eram frequentadas por poderosos e simpatizantes do nazismo. Infelizmente seu amigo, Crowley, não fez o mesmo caminho – acreditando piamente, até o fim da vida, que era um bruxo e vocalizava a vontade de Harpócrates (digo infelizmente pois acredito que ele seria um ótimo autor de horror cósmico, talvez até melhor que Lovecraft). Para os fãs de Heavy Metal, Steve Harris diz que compõs o clássico The Number of the Beast baseado num pesadelo que teve depois de ter assistido esse filme. Inclusive, algumas cenas desse filme foi colocada no clipe. Acesse: https://tavernadolugarnenhum.com.br/

Dennis Wheatley was an author "on the margins". In other words, he was a flawed (tho' very popular in his day) writer who was not taken seriously by most critics. But his distinctly marginal themes and observations gave him a kind of crossbow into truth that endow more than one of his novels with Inspiration. I am a big fan of Dennis Wheatley. In 1956 he published a novel about the immediate aftermath of one's bodily death. It is called The KA of Gifford Hillary (https://amzn.to/3DBe4tx) and I can't recommend it highly enough. In it, the narrator is murdered, and his 'KA', or immediate soul -- not exactly his Soul in the Christian sense, but the sum of accretions and experiences had by his human ego -- is suspended, as it were, before he can proceed towards Ultimate Destiny. Gifford Hillary's KA is put on hold, you might say, because there is a crime, a heinous crime, of which he was the victim; and the unresolved nature of the crime has to be resolved before he can move ahead. Whether this makes any sense to you or not, I think there is something to it. Why? Well, because three times in my life I have seen, or sensed directly, the KA of persons I loved. First was a college roommate who drowned in our sophomore year but appeared to me four months later on an escalator in Grand Central Station. Second was my best friend, who after his sudden and all-alone death appeared to me during Centering Prayer in All Saints Episcopal Church, Winter Park. And third was a close college friend who caused me recently, one day after her sudden, unexpected death, to find a letter she had written exactly 50 years that was the pure essence of sincere upbuilding. So three times I have met a KA. And three times an unresolved death was, at least for me, given "peace at the last" (BCP). Oh, and I'd rather encounter a KA than become one at the point of death. Look to yourself now!

Herein is a degree of pushing-the-envelope that I hope may speak to you, dear Listener. One was struck recently when someone announced, "Your problem's been solved". "Come again?", I said. He added, "Your problem's been solved on the astral plane." Well, normally, that would not have computed. Or at least one's jaw would have dropped. But I did remember Strange Conflict, and the effect that novel had had on me just a few years ago. You remember Strange Conflict. Dennis Wheatley wrote it during the Blitz and published it at the height of WWII. It concerns a French mystic who confounds the Nazis by ascending, during his sleep, to "the astral plane" of consciousness, where he is able to observe and investigate the 'soul'-lives of the people around him. 'Le Duc de Richleau' is able, on the astral plane, to discover the source of the espionage by which English shipping lanes are being betrayed to Nazi submarines. It is a terrific book. I hadn't realized, though, that I'd sort of become a character in it. When my mystical friend informed me that my problem had been solved on the astral plane, I was both surprised, encouraged, and mystified. It turned out to be true! I found this out in my dreams subsequent to his announcement. You'll see. Listen to the cast and you'll see. I told you I would push the envelope. "No Regrets" (Edith Piaf).

**Who You will Hear**Guest: Scott Hoffman (CEO of International Literary Properties)Co-host: Luna Tang (Cloud Service Delivery Manager at Klopotek)Co-host: Dwayne Parris (Senior Consultant at Klopotek) Purchasing rights of music works as a means of investment – as Michael Jackson did to the majority of the Beatles' catalog, is not a novel concept in the music publishing industry, yet in the book publishing world where people are reluctant to part with their copyrights, this concept still remains fresh and rarely-touched. Scott Hoffman and his team at ILP (International Literary Properties) not only think about it, but they also act on it. He tells us in the conversation how ILP was founded, how it works in partnership with various parties (publishers, authors, and literary agents), and how it has established its position in the value-added chain. With extensive real cases, he explains to us the ways that ILP makes long-term investments in literary estates (especially on backlists) and how they maximize the value of these time-honored works, as well as how these practices make ILP a meaningful complement to the value-added chain in rights management.For more information about ILP, the authors, and the great works it represents, please visit internationalliteraryproperties.com. Tell us what is going on with your publishing projects or business on Twitter (@Klopotek_AG), LinkedIn, or email us at podcast@klopotek.com.  For more information about the Klopotek software solution, please write to info@klopotek.com, or register to receive emails from us on technology innovations & events from Klopotek.* The views, information, or opinions expressed in the program are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of Klopotek and its employees.

As always, it's an absolute musical embarrassment ….OF RICHES, my friends. Why are there only 4 appearances by the Osees? Why not 40? Are 2 nights really enough for King Gizzard Lizard Wizard Dairy Queen Blizzard? Can a room the size of the former Beerland possibly contain the charisma of Christian “Truth In Advertising” Bland? I THINK NOT. Tune in this week and I'll help you make your Levitation Fest schedule and I'll even be giving away a pair of tickets to see Acid Dad (second prize is 4 tickets to see Acid Dad).

It's raining, it's pouring Old Nick is Snoring... Or seemingly having saucy phootshoots in remote chapels...exploring Abbotsbury in the rain, and searching out the ruins and remains of the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter that didn't survive the dissolution but survive in various bits in walls, houses and indeed St Catherine's Chapel which is dry and I did two sketches with these strange people hanging around and waiting...as I left I realised the woman was in a black robe and while I was trying to dry one of my pieces in the doorway I heard all this demonic whispering and whistling from inside! So yeah I joke about Folk horror and all this stuff but it is there, even if it is seemingly cheesy Dennis Wheatley photoshoots by Spaniards.... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jaunt/message

Jeb Card joins us to discuss the supposed witchcraft connections to the murder of Charles Walton on Valentines Day, 1945. Important players include (returning podcast fave) Margaret Murray, Egyptologist and writer of 'The Witch Cult In Western Europe' and Robert Fabian, Detective Superintendent of the London Met and early true crime tv celebrity. Both took the murder as a clue that something sinister, long-lived, and magical was brewing in the rural English countryside. And of course we can't get to them without covering Flinders Petrie, James Frazer, The Golden Bough, Dennis Wheatley, and Victorian ideas about witchcraft, archaeology, and the supernatural. There's also pagan survivals, magical peer-review murder, and a sidetrack about Night Of The Demon! *NOTE: for extra details on the connections between the novel Ritual by David Pinner and the Wicker Man, wait till the end comments LINKS Buy Me A Coffee or I'll curse you with a bit of runic parchment.

With a script by sci-fi/fantasy legend Richard Matheson (based on Dennis Wheatley's novel), and direction by journeyman Terence Fisher, THE DEVIL RIDES OUT is a Hammer horror classic. Dated by its early 20th century setting and late Sixties production, this tale of Satanic panic became infamous for earning an X rating from the British censors. Bradford makes the case that time has been kind to the film, and with a cast led by not one but two James Bond villains (Christopher Lee and Charles Gray), even Eric is convinced that this little DEVIL should take its rightful place in the horror pantheon.

Episode 9 of Season 2! Host, Gratton Conwill and special guest, Matt Fields discuss The Devil Rides Out (1968). Day 9 The Devil Rides Out 1h 36m The Devil Rides Out is a British horror film directed by Terence Fisher and written by Richard Matheson. It premiered on July 20th 1968. It shares its name with the 1934 novel it was adapted from. It was the last film produced by Seven Arts Productions before they were acquired by Warner Brothers in 1967. The film's star, Christopher Lee, played a large role in getting this film made and considered this his favorite Hammer production. Although pre-production began in 1963, the movie was pushed back so that the subject matter of Satanism would be less of an issue to censors. The author of The Devil Rides Out novel, Dennis Wheatley, was apparently so pleased with the movie adaptation that he gifted Christopher Lee a first edition copy of the book. For release in the United States, the name of the movie was changed to The Devil's Bride because The Devil Rides Out sounded too much like a western. The film was a financial loss for the studio, but like many of the movies we're reviewing, it is considered to be a classic in the horror genre. The Devil Rides Out has: 3.5 on Letterboxd 7/10 on IMDb 95% on rotten tomatoes 93% on google 8.2 average CTS score From the creators of Giant Monster BS: Gratton Conwill and Matt Fields bring you Only In Amityville season 2: Escape from Amityville!

The Summer of Hammer continues and it's time for adventure! Wait. Adventure? Hammer did so much more than just horror! First, travel back to the dawn of time, where the dangers of giant iguanas, turtles and bathing are ever present! Well, probably not enough bathing. It's One Million Years B.C. (1966)! And then from there, set a course for adventure, your mind on a new romance, as you drift into the Sargasso Sea, with killer seaweed, blood-crazed kelp monsters and some wacko cult! It's definitely time to discover the insanity that is The Lost Continent (1968)!

Richard Hooker: "My eager protestations, made in the glory of my ghostly strength, I am ashamed of; but those crystal tears, wherewith my sin and weakness was bewailed, have procured my endless joy; my strength hath been my ruin, and my fall my stay." Frank Limehouse (March 7, 2010): "I can't tell you what the Devil looks like. In my own mind he wears red tights, has horns and a tail and carries a pitchfork. Other than in the Garden of Eden, in which he is described as crafty and subtle; and Ezekiel, who tells us he was perfect in beauty, I cannot talk so much about what the devil looks like. But we can talk about how the devil operates. St. Peter said, “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). Interestingly, the devil doesn't come at you only where you're weak. He's very interested in your gifts and strengths. This is where we are most vulnerable. The woman with a charming smile is tempted to “get away with murder.” The salesman with the gift of persuasion, is often tempted to “take ‘em for what they're worth.” God, on the other hand, is most interested in what? Your weaknesses. The Lord said to Paul ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'…"

This week we get together again with Erik Kristopher Myers, and William Hopkins to talk about Hammer Horror films.   Here is a right up with some links provided by William Hopkins.   Best of Hammer Horror and related films...   Despite their lavish look and many positive qualities, Hammer's horror films were made as "programmers" – quickly and cheaply made entertainment product that was almost always released as part of a double bill. So the films should be viewed and judged in that light.   The Curse of Frankenstein (1957): The first in Hammer's Frankenstein series. An enormously successful (and controversial) film in its day – and it still holds up very well even now. You can buy or rent the film on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/FCNrxjaVf2M The Horror of Dracula (1958): The first in Hammer's Dracula series. Inventive script by Jimmy Sangster; clever direction by Hammer's best director, Terence Fisher; beautiful cinematography, sets, costumes. And a rousing, memorable climax that Hammer never topped. One of the top five Dracula adaptations. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/atQr_Eac11k The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958): The second in Hammer's Frankenstein series. A smart, well-crafted follow-up to the first film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IkXx3MeZNvU Brides of Dracula (1960): The second in Hammer's Dracula series. A lavish, colorful, fast-paced gothic melodrama that doesn't suffer at all from the absence of Dracula himself. A favorite of mine; I think it's one of Hammer's best. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NEQHTxU63ls The Evil of Frankenstein: (1964): The first of the Hammer Frankenstein films to be produced in cooperation with Universal (who made the original Frankenstein in 1931). With an infusion of cash from Universal, this is one of most visually impressive of Hammer's Frankenstein films, with great sets that recall the Universal original. But the monster is one of the weakest of the Hammer series and the script is not up to par. Not one of Hammer's best but still enjoyable. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cTyJWBF22zA Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966): Christopher Lee returns to the role of Dracula - though he has no lines and is only briefly onscreen - in the third film in Hammer's series. Very well produced, and for once a genuinely suspenseful and even scary Dracula film.  Frankenstein Created Woman (1967): An off-beat entry in Hammer's Frankenstein series. Not the best of the series, but surprisingly well-done and enjoyable.      Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968): Fourth in the Hammer Dracula series, with Christopher Lee returning in the role of the Count. Entertaining, smart, fast-paced. Lee is only on screen briefly and has little dialog, but his snarling, red-eyed, demonic appearance in this film (and it's follow-up) are probably the reason he came to be thought of, by a generation of film fans, as the ultimate screen Dracula. Apparently, at the time this was Hammer's highest grossing film. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s9gGa4t4sHc Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee had determined not to play Dracula again, so Hammer cast Ralph Bates as his replacement for this film. (Also in 1970, Bates briefly replaced Peter Cushing in Hammer's Frankenstein series.) But at the last minute Hammer managed to change Lee's mind, so here he is again - with Bates shifted over to the role of Dracula's would-be acolyte. Beautifully shot, fun, solid Hammer entertainment, though not the best of the Dracula films. One of two (!) Dracula films Hammer released in 1970. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VjoPIXZW09Q Scars of Dracula (1970): Christopher Lee is back again in one of the weaker entries in the Dracula series. Handsomely produced and not devoid of entertainment value, but it often feels tired and tedious, with occasional bursts of unnecessarily brutal violence. Lee, though, has more screen time and dialog in this entry than any of the other Dracula films he did for Hammer. After this one, Warner Brothers, which was financing and distributing Hammer's films in the US, insisted they bring the Dracula character into the modern world, so this is the last "period piece" Hammer Dracula film in which Lee played the Count. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZMbH-KyHsXs Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1970): One of the best of the Hammer Frankenstein series. Fast-paced, beautifully shot and performed, with a smart, inventive script. A favorite of mine. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cI-fG0Ov2Pc The Horror of Frankenstein (1970): Widely viewed as a misstep when it was released, this is Hammer's attempt at a parody of their own films. (Possibly, a reaction to the popularity of Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Roman Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers, which were both open and unabashed homage/parodies of the Hammer films.)  I think Ralph Bates is a worthy stand-in for Peter Cushing and I think the film is smart and funny,  though it clearly is not the best of the Hammer Frankensteins. Incidentally, that's David Prowse as the monster. He would go on to play Darth Vadar in Star Wars. He's wearing a significantly skimpier costume here. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/yU_D11OlNSs Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972): First of two Hammer Dracula films set in the 1970s. This is the film Marvel comics appears to be imitating with its Tombs of Dracula books. The first fifteen minutes of the film, which appear to be more inspired by A Clockwork Orange than anything else, are idiotic and annoying, but the film as a whole is an example of the kind of colorful, dynamic genre storytelling that Hammer excelled at. (Even at this late stage.) Peter Cushing gives a master class in the use of cigarettes and other props in screen acting. Sexy, beautiful, Caroline Munro also makes an appearance here. She would go on to appear in Hammer's Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter, as well as the Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me, and Ray Harryhausen's Sinbad film, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Dracula A.D. 1972 is apparently a favorite of Tim Burton. The musical score, which was derided as being wildly inappropriate for a Dracula film when the film was first released, has now developed a cult following, as has the film itself. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/AUu7bUIUGNU The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1974): The last appearance of Christopher Lee as Dracula in a Hammer film. And the last time Lee would play Dracula to Cushing's Van Helsing. (Cushing would go on to play Van Helsing in one more Hammer Dracula film, Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires.) This film's story follows directly from the story of the previous film, which is unusual for Hammer. (They usually didn't stress perfect continuity in their Dracula or Frankenstein series. ) I think I prefer this one to Dracula A.D. 1972, but both are fun, colorful and reasonably fast-paced, though the stories in both films are illogical and border on the silly. One aspect of The Satanic Rites of Dracula inspired a key plot point in my film, Sleepless Nights. Joanna Lumley, who would go on to achieve fame in the popular Brit comedy show, Absolutely Fabulous, plays Van Helsing's daughter here. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/J2H1ZO0gups Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell (1974): A return to form for the final entry in the Hammer Frankenstein series. After the commercial and critical failure of the series' attempted reboot, Horror of Frankenstein, Ralph Bates is out and Peter Cushing is back as Baron Frankenstein. This is a smart, well-crafted finale for the series, though it's an unusually grim and bleak film for the series, and the monster (once again played by David Prowse) is one of the more absurd iterations of the monster. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_Lb4nFlf2Rw The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974): The last of the Hammer Dracula series, with Peter Cushing back for a final turn as Van Helsing. This unusual mash-up of two exploitation film genres (decades before From Dusk Till Dawn) was the result of a co-producing deal between Hammer and Sir Run Run Shaw, the legendary Hong Kong film producer. Surprisingly well-done and entertaining, especially if you're a kung fu film fan. The appearance of John Forbes-Robinson as Dracula at the film's climax is its most disappointing moment. Heavily made up and speaking in a ridiculously ominous voice, he looks less like Christopher Lee's Dracula and more like someone made up for Halloween trick-or-treating. The film struggled to find distribution in the US, as was the case with Satanic Rites of Dracula. Both were eventually re-cut, retitled and dumped on the market by "Dynamite Films," an exploitation film distributor. After Dynamite Films went out of business, both Satanic Rites and 7 Golden Vampires entered into the public domain, a status they have been rescued from by Warner, which has asserted its copyright and recently released Blu-ray editions of the films. Years later, Sir Run Run Shaw would also co-produce Blade Runner. Hammer would make just two more films after Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires: To the Devil, A Daughter, with Christopher Lee and Richard Widmark, and a remake of Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, with Elliot Gould and Cybil Shepard. Watch FOR FREE on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eA_L4L0qrAs Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter (1974): This quirky, off-beat Hammer vampire film was directed by Brian Clemens, who wrote and produced The Avengers, for British TV. (He's responsible for casting Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel.) The film shows the influence of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western films and may itself have served as an influence on Marvel's comic and film series character, Blade. Interesting and memorable.  Watch FOR FREE on Hammer's Official YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RsWAVsRefSg Quatermass & the Pit (1967): One of Hammer's best, based on Nigel Kneale's groundbreaking British TV serial. Science fiction with supernatural horror overtones. Loaded with great ideas. Echoes of this film can be seen in The X-Files among other TV series and films. Well performed and shot.  A favorite of mine.  The Mummy (1959): While Hammer's first two big hits, Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, were ostensibly adaptations of novels in the public domain and not sequels or remakes of Universal's classic horror films from the 30s, the studio's great success led to collaborations with Universal, such as Evil of Frankenstein, and licensing arrangements that allowed them to remake Universal's copyrighted material. Universal's 1932 film, The Mummy, was not based on a novel in the public domain, it was an original screenplay that led to a franchise that has so far resulted in ten movies from 1932 to 2017, so Universal unquestionably owned the copyright to the story and characters, and when Hammer decided to add The Mummy to their roster of monsters, they needed a licensing arrangement with Universal. They got one, which allowed them to use characters and plot points not just from Universal's first Mummy film, but from several of its sequels. In return Universal got the distribution rights to the film, which was so successful in its original release that Hammer ended up cranking out three sequels, the last one hitting the screens in 1971. I have to admit that while I revere the 1932 Universal original, I was never a fan of any of the Universal Mummy sequels, which I considered tedious, and so the 1959 production of The Mummy was one Hammer film I avoided, never seeing it as a child, teenager or young adult. In fact, I only saw it for the first time about two years ago. I sought it out, finally, because I had begun to develop a special appreciation for the work of director Terence Fisher. I'm glad I did, because it's definitely in the front rank of Hammer films. It has the lavish, richly colorful look that was by then a hallmark of Hammer productions; it's smart, well-paced, tightly scripted and has a surprisingly nuanced performance, by Christopher Lee, of the title character. In his portrayal of the creature in Curse of Frankenstein and the Count in Horror of Dracula, Lee showed that even when he had little or no dialog, he could bring a degree of depth to monster characters through physicality alone, and he does the same here. He's very much the rampaging monster at times, but his eyes and his body language create an impression of a mummy that has thoughts, emotions and dimensions to its personality that aren't even hinted at in the Universal sequels or in Hammer's own sequels. (In two of Hammer's Mummy movies, the mummy's face is hidden behind bandages, so no emoting is necessary.) Buy or rent The Mummy (1959) on YouTube: https://youtu.be/uojNB-SbDEo The Devil Rides Out (1968): This may be my favorite Hammer film. It's another Terence Fisher film, and another with Christopher Lee in the lead. It's based on a terrible novel by a terrible writer, Dennis Wheatley, but the screenwriter, Richard Matheson (of I Am Legend, Duel, Hell House and Twilight Zone fame) does a terrific job of finding all that is exciting, suspenseful and entertaining in the novel, while weeding out most of the dumb, racist, reactionary stuff Wheatley was famous for. (While he's almost entirely forgotten today, and his books are largely out of print, he was, for a time, one of the best selling authors in the English language.) Some of the story ideas in The Devil Rides Out made their way into my story for Demon Resurrection. My villain, Toth, is essentially Mocata, the villainous cult leader played with such elan by the great Charles Gray. In fact, Demon Resurrection could be seen as one half The Devil Rides Out, and one half Night of the Living Dead. For once, Lee has an enormous amount of dialog, and he delivers it with speed and style, punctuating each line with flourishes of his hands and eyebrows. One could say this is "hand and eyebrow acting" at its most entertaining. The rest of the cast is equally good, with Grey giving the screen one of its most urbane villains. (He would later bring his wit and style to the role of Blofeld in the Bond film, Diamonds are Forever.) The film was not a big hit for Hammer when it came out. 1968 was the year of Rosemary's Baby and perhaps critics and audiences found The Devil Rides Out a bit too old-fashioned. But I love it, for all its absurdities and melodramatic excesses. The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959): The same year Hammer's first Mummy movie came out, Hammer released its one and only Sherlock Holmes adaptation. Seeking to capitalize on their newfound fame as purveyors of horror product, they naturally turned to the Holmes adventure that had the most pronounced supernatural overtones, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Their biggest star, Peter Cushing was a natural choice to play Holmes, and he does so with great wit, style and energy. (He would go on to play Holmes in a BBC series in 1965.) Their other biggest star, Christopher Lee got a lesser role in the film, not as Watson but instead as Sir Henry Baskerville, the film's romantic lead. (He'd go on to play Holmes in a 1962 German film, with Terence Fisher directing, and in two leaden American TV movies in the early 90s.) I've always thought of the Universal 1939 version of this story, with Basil Rathbone, as the definitive film version, but I've always enjoyed this one as well. Cushing is in the upper tier of actors who have played the character, and the film itself, like most of the best Hammer films, is colorful, fast moving and stylish. Buy or rent on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wMwMGhZBAJU The Lost Continent (1968): The same year Hammer released The Devil Rides Out, it also released this film adaptation of another Dennis Wheatley novel. This one is more adventure than horror, and it has what must be the wackiest plot of any Hammer film, involving the crew and passengers of a tramp steamer loaded with explosive cargo, getting lost in the Sargasso Sea and discovering a secret civilization made up of pirates and the descendents of Spanish Conquistadors. Oh, and there's giant lobsters and killer seaweed to deal with as well. It's a blast. There are several more interesting and entertaining Hammer films that are worth catching, but if you see only those I've mentioned in this email, you'll have a pretty good overview of the company's output. For what it's worth, my favorites are: 1.) The Devil Rides Out 2.) Quatermass and the Pit 3.) Brides of Dracula 4.) Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed 5.) Horror of Dracula 6.) Curse of Frankenstein Lee and Cushing also appeared in a number of films for Hammer's chief competitor during the 50s, 60s & 70s: Amicus Films. Amicus is probably best known for producing the first film adaptations of the EC horror comics, Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror. Their specialty was the portmanteau or anthology film – collections of several short horror stories, often by writers like Robert Bloch, with a wrap-around story holding it all together. Their EC adaptations are great fun (and were big hits in their day) and the company turned out a number of other entertaining productions including three Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptations in the 70s, The Land that Time Forgot, The People That Time Forgot and At the Earth's Core. One has to have a pretty high tolerance for men in rubber dinosaur suits to enjoy these films, but I have fond memories of them from seeing them in local theaters when they were first released. (Hammer also made a couple of dinosaur films, one of which, One Million Years, BC, was among their biggest hits in the 1960s, and made a star of Raquel Welch. The dinosaurs in that film, however, are the work of the great Ray Harryhausen, so they're of a higher order of quality than the Amicus efforts, which are perhaps superior to the Japanese monster films, but probably look pretty silly to modern, post-Jurassic Park audiences.) If, after sampling Hammer's offerings, you'd like to venture into Amicus territory, let me know and I'll send you a list of links to their best films. For now though, I'll just leave you with one Amicus title, their first film, produced before they'd even settled on their company name: Horror Hotel, aka The City of the Dead (1960), is a wonderfully atmospheric and effective tale of witches and occultism starring Christopher Lee. It's well worth checking out. It can be viewed FREE on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/W7As-qun8MI   And finally, there's Horror Express (1972), one of the great pairings of Hammer stars Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but ironically not a Hammer film. It's a beautifully produced science-fiction/horror piece that gives us an idea of what Murder on the Orient Express might've been like if it had been written by Lovecraft. I saw this in the theater when it first came out and it's been a favorite of mine ever since, although I've had to settle for grainy washed-out prints in recent years. (Such is the fate of many films that fall into the public domain.)

Join Cian for a quarantine session of brandy and nostalgia at the cabin in this much-delayed episode. If you fondly remember reading (and cheating) through Fighting Fantasy gamebooks in the 80s, this installment has you covered, as Cian talks us through House Of Hell, his favourite FF adventure. It's a haunted house game that really goes into far more disturbing territory than most. Cian spots the influences of Dennis Wheatley in this creepy Satanists-for-kids adventure, and wonders as to the influence of the Satanic Panic too. Whatever the truth, House Of Hell remains an oddly unsettling addition to this genre, replete with cultists, goat heads, sacrifices on altars, and a torturously-constructed puzzle. You may never escape from the House! So roll up your stats, grab some cheese and brandy, and MAY YOUR STAMINA NEVER FAIL! To listen, turn to paragraph 88.

Reading Lovecraft is a great way to discover new writers and strange old pseudoscientific theories. In this episode I discuss how through Lovecraft I first learned of Margaret Murray and the infamous Witch-Cult Hypothesis – the idea that the ‘witches’ persecuted in early-modern witch trials were in fact the survivors of an ancient pagan cult. Yes, not only did people take this idea seriously, but they ran with it. Really ran with it. This episode of WIDE ATLANTIC WEIRD delves into what Murray believed, what others made of it, and the long-term effects of this particular odd belief. Cthulhu, wicca, Dennis Wheatley, Rosemary’s Baby: they all have their part to play in ALL OF THEM WITCHES: Margaret Murray And The Witch-Cult Hypothesis. So burn your black candles, put on your wicker antlers, crack open an ale and sit by the fire for a bewitching (sigh) episode of WIDE ATLANTIC WEIRD.

Jim reflects on a film he believes is one of Hammer Films' best from the 1960s - "The Devil Rides Out," starring Christopher Lee, Charles Gray, Nike Arrighi, Leon Greene, Patrick Mower and directed by Terence Fisher. Based on a novel from Dennis Wheatley, centering on  the Duc de Richleau trying to save his best friend's son from the leader of a band of satanists. The film packed quite a wallop upon its release in 1968. Found out more on this episode of "Monster Attack!"

Be sure to watch the video! A lesser known film based on Dennis Wheatley's esoteric novels and in the vein of The Devil Rides Our, which I covered in my first book, Esoteric Hollywood. In the last couple decades the Roman Church has been plagued with scandals that are not, in fact, new. Did Wheatley, with his connections know inside info? Did you know he was an insider with Crowley? Check out my analysis of To The Devil A Daughter.

This week the two podsters made a trip to France. This episode was recorded in a cafe in the Tarn, where over coffee and cognac Paul and Guy talk about their adventures. Witches, nuclear reactors and nazi atrocities all come under the scrutiny of their small but friendly minds. It's like an episode of 'Allo 'Allo written by Dennis Wheatley.

There was a Satanism scare in Britain during the late 1970s and 1980s. This is an aspect of what was happening in Sussex during the 1980s ending in a trial that could be seen as part Dennis Wheatley and part a dark 'Carry On' comedy.

Patrick:            Hey everybody, Pat V. here, and you're listening to the Rise Above Your Best podcast, where I'm not only obsessed with identifying and understanding the habits, strategies, techniques, secrets that have made other people successful, but also in uncovering and identifying the research that demonstrates that great success is available to anyone. And it all starts when we believe in the power of rising above our best. Patrick:            This is a really special episode for me. A lot of the work that I've done over the years has obviously been in leadership and team development, and recently I had put together a workshop series called Lead Like No Other. And the reason it's like no other, or that I've phrased it that way, is because there's so much more to leadership than just skills and techniques and strategies and understanding how to delegate. Patrick:            One of the foundational components to it is finding out how to be comfortable with yourself, and be happy with who you are. And that's why this episode, the title of it really is about living life on the EDGE, and how to successfully live life on the EDGE, and we're gonna talk about four behaviors that really is foundational for a lot of the work that I do in terms of leadership that help leaders, or aspiring leaders, to feel good about who they are. Patrick:            Because if you don't feel good about who you are as an individual, if you're not content or happy with yourself, then it's gonna be very difficult for you to be there for somebody else, whether it's a loved one or somebody in the office or somebody in the community, it doesn't matter. Patrick:            So these four behaviors that I'll speak to I think are foundationally four of the most important things that you can do to live a great life, and when you do that, especially if I'm developing as a leader, these will provide the things that I need to be a better leader, again, at home, in the community, or at work. So let's get going. Patrick:            As I thought about putting this podcast together and the acronym for the model that I'm gonna talk about around EDGE, I thought, “You know what, when we think of living on the edge there's some excitement to that, that we're right there.” And to me, this model really is just that, it's how do we maximize everything we can out of life? These four behaviors that I'm gonna talk to I think do that. Patrick:            Now, even though the acronym is EDGE, I'm gonna talk to you about expectancy, and discipline, and gratitude, and empathy, which spells EDGE, the order of these that I'm gonna speak to you in is a little different. Because we're gonna start out with gratitude. Patrick:            Gratitude is so important for living, I think, a fulfilled life. I'll start off with one of the quotes that I'd come across that I think speaks to this. This was by a woman, Melody Beattie, she said, “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” And I think that is so true in terms of gratitude. Patrick:            And I think we have to practice it every day, and that's part of the model that I put together and part of what certainly I live myself, and I know it's made a huge difference that every morning I will write down three things that I'm grateful for, to start the day out. They might be just getting up, was, “I have another day today.” It could be, “I'm grateful for my family,” or, “for the opportunities to help other people.” Patrick:            One of them is usually more simple though. Could be, “I'm thankful for a great cup of coffee this morning,” or, “for a sunrise”. Whatever that might be. So it's not always I've gotta completely outdo myself every time I'm thinking grateful every morning. Patrick:            But there's a lot of research behind the benefit that gratitude provides us in terms of wellbeing. And if we think about it, it's very difficult to be grateful and sad at the same time. It's just hard to do, it's almost like they're binary, that either one or the other has to be taking place at one time, they both can't happen at the same time. Patrick:            And I think it's really important to think about gratitude as focusing on the challenges that we face within our lives too, not just the good stuff, but the challenges. That when we can look at those things that have created struggle and think, “I'm grateful for that happening,” that it gives us the power over those things that we can look and say, “Yeah, this was terrible, this sucked, but there's something that's gonna come out of this that I'm grateful for, that I'm gonna grow somehow because of this.” And if you listened to the episode that I did, Your Past is Your Power, that's really where I speak more in depth about that. But it's so important. Patrick:            Along those lines of gratitude, if you've ever seen the musical Dear Evan Hansen, I chuckle when I think of it because it starts out, one of the lines is, “Today's gonna be a great day, and here's why.” And as corny and hokey as that sounds, that's often the way our brains operate, is that we give ourselves that “why”. “Why is this gonna be a good day for us?” That we start to position ourselves as to why things are gonna work out for us. Patrick:            Too often what do we do? We take the opposite approach, and we look at the negative of why things aren't gonna work out for us. The importance here is to go from that place of gratitude, we're saying, “This is why things will work out for me today.” From a scientific standpoint, what starts to happen is we can activate what's called the confirmation bias. The confirmation bias basically says that, whatever we put out there, we find evidence to back up why we're right. Patrick:            So if I'm gonna take that approach and leverage that research, then why not make it work in my favor? “Why will things work out for me today?” And when I can do that, when I can have that focus, generally only good things are gonna come of that. Patrick:            I'll end our gratitude piece with a quote from Dennis Wheatley. He said, “Happiness can't be traveled to, owned, earned, worn, or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.” I think that's so true. When we can really be in that space, it's not about what we own, the title we have, it's about living. And gratitude certainly is how we start this out. Patrick:            So when we move on from gratitude, the next one is expectancy. This is a practice every morning as well. I expect to get where I'm going. That's sort of the, not the glass is half full, that my glass is full. And it dovetails off of the gratitude piece. Patrick:            Oftentimes when we're dealing with expectancy, though, we get in our own heads. We start to talk ourselves out of it. One of the quotes that I think of often comes from a woman, Mary Morrissey, she said, “Feed your faith and your fears will starve.” And I think about that often, this idea of what is faith, and that when we feed our faith, our belief in ourselves or something else or someone else, a higher power, that our fears really will starve when we do that. Patrick:            And when we go back to thinking about gratitude, we can think in this space of, “Why will I be successful?” We start to, again, activate the confirmation bias piece here, that it's thinking of all the reasons why we're gonna be successful and not why we can't. Patrick:            This is not a pollyana approach, or like it's roses all the time, I don't believe that. I can recognize that there are challenges, and I can have crappy days. But I know in the end that things are gonna work out. That's just the way it is. Patrick:            There's a model that I use in coaching, and it's called GAIL. It really deals with four ways that really we try and protect ourselves, or our brain tries to protect us, and the first is gremlins. It's this space of we say we're gonna do something, but then that voice gets in our head of saying, “What are you, crazy? You can't do that. Don't even try.” Patrick:            The next one is around assumptions, it says, “Well, if this was the way it was last time, this is the way it's gonna be this time. I wasn't able to pull it off last time, and chances are I'm not gonna be able to pull it off this time.” So we talk ourselves out of it. Patrick:            The next is around interpretations, that it says, “I see it a certain way, and that's the only way it is. It can't be a different way than it is.” And the last one is around limiting beliefs, and it says, “I'm too short, I'm too tall, I don't have enough education, I don't have enough money, I don't have enough time,” whatever it might be, that we put that roadblock in front of ourselves. Patrick:            And in coaching we often talk about resources and resourcefulness, and really limiting beliefs is about resources. We're always gonna lack something, whatever that might be, but what we always have equal opportunity to is resourcefulness. And when we think of those two things, we start off with gratitude, what am I grateful for every day, we move on to expectancy, I expect that I'm gonna get where I wanna go, that oftentimes revolves around making sure that we set good goals. Patrick:            Before we transition into our next behavior around discipline, I'll leave you with a quote from Mark Twain, who said, “All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.” That is so true, that if I look back to when I started my own business now, if I knew everything that was involved and really how naïve I was in some regards, I don't know that I would have done it. But having that ignorance, but also the expectation, the confidence that I was gonna succeed, it really did provide success. Patrick:            Which leads us into the next behavior that we talk about, and that is around discipline. If anybody had any questions about thinking, “Gratitude, expectancy, where's the beef” so to speak, here's where it comes in. The discipline component of this is to set up, “How am I gonna get there? What do I want, and how am I gonna get there?” Patrick:            Episode one we talked about set goals. Specific, emotional, and timebound, an easy way to set goals and really set their trajectory. There's a quote that I love by a gentleman, Dwight Newell Hillis, and he said, “A person must take their choice between ease and wealth. Either is available, but not both.” Patrick:            And I believe that in my own life, certainly, is that I've had those opportunities to choose ease and to choose wealth. It really has seemed to be more binary, that I get one or the other. If I get ease, I don't get a lot of the good stuff that goes along with it. And if I want wealth, it's not gonna be with ease. There's gonna be work, and that's okay. Patrick:            So the discipline comes down to, “What are my goals? What do I want? Are they specific? Are they emotional?” Meaning, what's the “why”? “How strongly do I want this? Are they timebound? Am I gonna have this done by a certain amount of time?” It's looking at being grateful for what I have, but also expecting that I'm gonna get there. I can't just put it out there, “It's gonna work out, I'm just gonna keep hoping for it,” without doing what needs to be done. I've gotta put the work in. Patrick:            And when I do that, it also helps to keep me focused when things aren't going well, that I'm like, “Okay, I know why I'm doing this. I know what the end result is gonna be, and I know how I need to get there.” So gratitude and expectancy is certainly needed to put me in that place, but discipline is what's gonna pull me through and allow me to really get where I need to go. And it's not always gonna be easy, I know that. Patrick:            Another quote when I think in this area, and it's on the signature of a lot of my emails that goes out, is by Galatians, and the quote says, “Do not grow weary by doing good, for in good season we will reap if we don't give up.” And that's the hardest part, if we don't give up. And when we're thinking about this from the standpoint of living on the EDGE, I've talked about three behaviors that really do make a difference. Patrick:            One is I'm grateful for what I have. In the morning I'm grateful for it, when I go to bed I'm grateful for what happened during the day. But I have also trained myself to expect that things are gonna work out. That faith, I've activated that faith. And then I've employed discipline in terms of making sure that I'm doing what I need to do on my end to make that happen. When we think about that from a standpoint of being in a place of wellbeing, you can see where that can create that space for us, especially as leaders. Patrick:            But there's one last component to this, and this is around the other E. That's empathy. If you look at a lot of the research out there in regards to wellbeing and happiness, you'll often hear it suggested that having a purpose is one of the most important things somebody can have in terms of creating wellbeing or happiness in their lives. It really is about feeling as though there's something more than just yourself that you're involved with, that you're making a purpose. Patrick:            Dan Pink talks about it in his book Drive, purpose is one of the three motivators that he's found in the research that he looked at, this idea of, “What am I doing? Who am I serving beside myself if I really wanna be happy?” Again, the research would suggest that those that are able to do that, that they find a way to have purpose for other people, they're happier. Patrick:            The term that I've used here around that is about empathy. One of the first quotes that I think about when I think of empathy and to me this idea of being for others, is by a quote by Napoleon Hill, who said, “Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.” Patrick:            Again, I can use what I've got to get a bigger house, better car, better vacation, all about myself, and I think oftentimes when people aren't happy with who they are that's what they try and live through first. “What can I feed myself that will take away from the other stuff that's lacking? Is it a new suit, or a bigger trip?” Whatever it might be, we realize that that doesn't last long. Patrick:            From a research or a scientific standpoint, we call that hedonic adaptation, which really means that after a certain period of time the luster wears off. The car is just a car, the suit's just another suit, the house is just a house again. Because what we really needed to feed is not that, because we're doing it for ourselves, not for other people. Patrick:            Gary Vaynerchuk will talk oftentimes about the 51% rule, and I would agree with that, this idea of trying to provide 51% of the value in any relationship that I go into. And when we do that, it really does activate that piece of being for others that our sense of purpose, when it's for others as opposed to ourselves, puts us in a place of wellbeing and happiness. Patrick:            The last quote that I'll speak to in this area is by Samantha Power. She said, “All advocacy is, at its core, an exercise in empathy.” Again, when we can live from a place that we're thinking of other people and what our actions have on them, and how we can impact them, and we're able to say, “Yes, we're doing that positively,” it creates a sense of positive wellbeing in us and happiness. Patrick:            And from a leadership perspective, that is such a critical component of being there for others. Inspiring others by our actions to wanna follow wherever we go. And again, whether that's at home or in the community or in your organization. Patrick:            So we recap here, again, living life on the EDGE can really be the most powerful place to live it. When we're practicing those things, when we expect to get where we wanna go, when we apply the discipline needed to get there, when we're grateful for what we have and where we are in the moment, and when we're able to exercise and demonstrate empathy for others in a way that says, “I'm more interested in making a difference for other people than I am about what's in it for me.” Patrick:            I hope you've found this podcast helpful. As I read each one of these things, I know in my own life and in those people that I work with that I've seen them exercise these, it can create such a difference in terms of who you are and how you live your life. I hope you were able to take something away from this that helps you to rise above your best, if you know somebody that could benefit from this as well, that you forward it on to them, and if you hadn't already, please subscribe to this podcast. Patrick:            Leave me a rating. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that when that happens because I know that the message is continuing to get out there. And I hope you'll continue to listen to me as I bring on more guests and more research and more strategies to helping not only you but those around you to rise above their best.

Shibboleth's are often true in part. Maxims are true in part. But they are never, or at least rarely, wholly true. One such maxim is a current fashionable imperative, Face the Cannons. The idea is that when you are confronted with opposition or antagonism, your best bet is to look it squarely in the face and permit it to do its worst. Somehow in that acquiescent transaction, your foe will lose its power and kind of flow through you and get de-potentiated. There is a truth to this. Frank Lake used to talk about "assimilating the negativity" of one's life. He had, in practice, an important therapeutic point. And yet! There seem to be certain "antagonists", certain oppositional forces -- some of them inside a person, some of them outside -- that resist the treatment. Certainly, there exists pain in our lives so acute that the prospect of facing it directly is too heavy for words. In other words, facing it, practically speaking, is almost impossible. This podcast talks about THAT particular and specific pain -- THAT concrete negativity which is simply too much for one to bear, let alone welcome. I submit that you may well be conscious of such an element in the composition of your life. It is an element that resists assimilation, and even the hope of assimilation. What then? Well, here I invoke our old ally Dennis Wheatley, not to mention America's most perceptive preacher; not to mention Jesus and St. Paul. There are some things, just a few but they're decisive, that resist acquiescence. Rather, they call for flight or, if worst comes to worst, that miraculous life's lesson known as "How To Throw a Crucifix". Hope you like the music for this one, too! Especially the last track, "Easy To Be Hard", which unmasks a certain fashionable form of hypocrisy in the now.

Join The Higherside Chat podcast as host Greg Carlwood talks Lovecraft, Crowley and Yazidi with returning guest, Peter Levenda. We know the world is a stranger place than it might seem on the surface, with unknown depths few people dare to explore- and when the stakes for spending too much time looking behind the veil are madness and paranoia, who can blame them? But there is a rich history of artists, musicians, writers and creative types feeling as though they are being compelled to do what they do, that they find themselves being more conduit than creator. More vessel than virtuoso. And fans of H.P. Lovecraft's work have even battled over this very point for years. Are there hidden truths or unconscious insights woven throughout the work of the father of “supernatural horror fiction?” Today's returning guest Peter Levenda thinks so, and by the end of today's show you might be inclined to agree. Peter, of course, is the author of many books including the great Sinister Forces series discussed in his last appearance, which explores the possibility of supernatural influence in some of America's most trying times; from a deeper exploration of the Salem Witch Trials and the potential influence of ancient Indian burial ground on a young Charles Manson, to the alchemical interests of Americas founders, and that infamous seance to channel the Council of Nine in that old farmhouse in Maine. Yes, Peter Levenda has helped us understand the significance and synchronicities between places, names, dates that really make you wonder about this idea of ethereal puppet masters and how much influence they might really have. Luckily, the surgeon of synchronicity is here to discuss his latest book, his first published novel entitled "The Lovecraft Code", it branches off of the infamous “Call of Cthulhu” and uses a fictional narrative as the means of exploring what may be some profound truths. 2:42 While many of us understand that profound truths can sometimes be told easier in works of fiction, with beloved collections, such as "The Matrix" and "Westworld" acting as a blueprint. Peter explains his decision to write a novel and how it can be a more earnest and straightforward approach to tackling certain concepts. Levenda also details what it is was that intrigued him about the writing of H.P. Lovecraft, as well as his journey of exploration, starting with the work of Dennis Wheatley. 11:45 Peter continues to expand on the theory that the work of H.P. Lovecraft, while set in a fictional mythos involving creatures born from the figment of his imagination, when examined under a different paradigm, can be seen as a warning for what was to come. Perhaps he was simply a vessel of divine intervention? Levenda also elaborates on how Lovecraft's work is the foundation for things such as, "The Morning of The Magicians" and the ancient alien theory. 18:30 Greg and Peter discuss the many nails in the coffin confirming Lovecraft's work holds deeper knowledge, from his admission that some of his writing was based on his dreams- an example of unconscious reporting- to his family life, parents' psychosis, and his grandfather's ties to masonry. 22:20 Peter discusses his book, "The Lovecraft Code", his experience researching it, and how it relates back to the original "Call of Cthulhu". He also details a series of synchronicities involving Cheers writer David Angell, the events of 9/11 and Lovecraft's work. 28:00 With so many speculations circulating in the conspiracy world about the real reason the US and it's allies went to war in the Middle East, Peter helps to put a finer point to these ideas by detailing the rich tapestry of the area, the diverse sects scattered throughout Central Asia and the Middle East such as the Yadzidi, and how their ancient hidden knowledge holds the keys to understanding our past. 37:20 In the occult world, a major theme seems to be the quest for old grimoires,

Ultra-prolific British pulp author Dennis Wheatley is best known for his occult thrillers, which combined Wheatley's fascination with magic with his conservative politics. Kate and Jack tackle his 1953 offering To the Devil A Daughter, which involves a mystery author and her interior decorator son who get enmeshed in an occult conspiracy when they delve too deeply into the mysterious young lady who becomes their neighbor on the French Riviera. This month's guest reader is Kristen Korvette, founder and editor of Slutist, whose study of (and firsthand experience with) witches make her an ideal fit to read from a stuffy, ultra-conservative book about sinister Satanists. Why does possession by the devil turn our imperiled heroine into someone vastly more awesome? Will a mutual hatred of taxes bring the novel's heroes into an understanding with the villains? Are our hosts secretly Dennis Wheatley villains themselves? How is Stalin involved in this whole mess? Find out all this and more in this month's episode of Bad Books for Bad People.

With Kirsty Lang. The British rapper Tinie Tempah became a global sensation in 2010 with his debut album, winning the 2011 Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act. As he releases his second album, Demonstration, Tinie reflects on his fear of selling out, his support for the royal family and why he mentions Prince Harry, Jeremy Clarkson and Stephen Fry in his songs. Rosie Boycott reviews the Chilean film Gloria, which stars Paulina Garcia as a divorced woman in her late 50s who goes in search of romance. Garcia won Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival. Ballet star Carlos Acosta has written his first novel, Pig's Foot, which is the story of one family set against the backdrop of Cuban history from slavery to the present. He discusses why he is turning from ballet to literature. At the height of his success, novelist Dennis Wheatley sold over 50 million copies of his books worldwide in 28 languages, luring readers in with titles such as The Devil Rides Out and To The Devil A Daughter. Since his death in 1977, his fame and readership have declined. As a selection of Wheatley's books is re-published, Matthew Sweet considers the reasons for his rise and fall - and whether he will rise again. Producer Timothy Prosser.

This show we are joined by Maria Wheatley. We talk about ancient stone circles, Stonehenge gamma radiation at sites, earth energy, dowsing, ley lines, ying and yang water, consciousness alterations, and much more... Maria is a second-generation dowser who is a leading authority on the geodetic system of earth energies. She was taught how to decode and divine the land by her late father, Dennis Wheatley, who was considered to be one of the UK's top Master Dowsers. Maria is an accomplished author of books on sacred sites and dowsing. She has researched the esoteric design canons of prehistoric sites, Druidic ceremonial enclosures and the Knights Templar for many years. Maria has studied Neolithic Britain and Bronze Age prehistory with the University of Bath and alongside other professionals, Maria combines her knowledge of archaeology, and earth energies with state of the art equipment to locate and detect the hidden frequencies that the Earth emits. Believing in the Earth Force or dowsing is simply not enough for Maria, she wants to show the world that the prehistoric designers of ancient sites could locate and harness earth energy. Her findings challenge our understanding of sacred sites. Maria has lectured and given workshops in America and Europe and has also appeared on the History Channel - she managed to get several of the participants who had never before held a dowsing rod - to successfully detect ley lines at Stonehenge, In the late 1980s, Maria studied astrology and tarot and during the 1990s turned her attention to hypnotherapy, past life regression and reflexology. She has taught complimentary medicine for Swindon College for over 15 years. She has also written holistic diploma courses for private colleges such as the British School of Yoga (BSY Group). She recently founded the Avebury School of Esoteric Studies which offers certificated courses on holistic subjects including past life regression, astrology and dowsing and which is affiliated with the Association of British Correspondence Colleges. Cosmologist, healer and author of HOPE Dr Jude Currivan endorsed The Avebury School of Esoteric Studies and has this to say: In the mid 1990s, I was very fortunate to be introduced to and guided in the art of dowsing by the great master dowser Dennis Wheatley. Dennis's enormous knowledge, straight-forward approach, easy companionship and willingness to answer all my questions(!) made him the perfect teacher. I'm delighted that his daughter Maria now continues the family tradition of sharing this wonderfully valuable art and science with the world. Maria's vision is to apply ancient wisdom to a modern generation. Imagine for one moment if we could integrate the Earth's healing and harmonic energies into hospitals, care homes, and schools. Another example, one global grid system is said to enhance our powers of communication and so Medieval Masons placed the pulpits of old churches on this grid line. If we could incorporate this energy into the classrooms of dyslexic and autistic children or those suffering with speech problems I am sure we would see a vast improvement. Living in harmony with the Earth's subtle frequencies is beneficial for all. Check out her website, The Avebury Experience, at www.theaveburyexperience.co.uk. Hosted on Acast.
