Buon Lunedì Amici e buon inizio settimana! Eccoci al nostro consueto appuntamento con la Rubrica del Sigillo! Oggi parliamo di relazioni interpersonali dal punto di vista occulto, con "La Filosofia Esoterica dell'Amore e del Matrimonio" di Dion Fortune. Buon ascolto e buona lettura!

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Ellis Shuman, author of the book Rakiya - Stories of Bulgaria. Ellis is an American-born Israeli author, travel writer, and book reviewer. His writing has appeared in The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel, World Literature Today, and The Huffington Post. His short fiction has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and has appeared in Isele Magazine, Vagabond, The Write Launch, Esoterica, Jewish Literary Journal, San Antonio Review, and other literary publications. He is the author of The Virtual Kibbutz, Valley of Thracians, The Burgas Affair, and Rakiya – Stories of Bulgaria.   In my book review, I stated Rakiya - Stories of Bulgaria is a collection of cultural short stories set in Bulgaria. In these short stories we follow such characters as pickpocketing Roma, a WWII veteran, refugees, authors, makers of rakiya, and hunters - all while learning about the rich history of the area.    As someone who knows little about the Bulgarian culture or the history, I was enchanted by the stories. I was also intrigued by the foods, drinks, mountains, and churches. By the time I was finished with the collection, I wondered if a trip to Bulgaria might be in order!   As an author, I was fascinated with how the author weaved these tales into a cohesive whole - and loved how a character from one story would inevitably end up in another. Despite being a series of short stories, it reads far more like a novel, with Bulgaria as the main character. It's a great read.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Ellis Shuman Website: https://ellisshuman.blogspot.com/ FB: @Ellis Shuman Author   Purchase Rakiya - Stories of Bulgaria on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3RwLK1L Ebook: https://amzn.to/4ja3EU6   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Esoterica Tropical CD walk through! by Cronicas de la Raza

Shakespeare is a giant hole in my knowledge base. But I do know the occult or paranormal played center stage in many of his works. But that's about where it ends for me. So, a call to experts was needed. And like the fires of Rohan, they were answered. Enter frequent guest (and friend) Rev. Dr. David Parry and former thespian and current professional wrestler, Aron Haddad Stephens. Not only do they cover Shalespeare, but they cover pretty much everything. From esoteric schools of thought to philosophy, it's tackled from the lenses of the Elizabethan period and the modern periods. There are some history lessons along the way. Some working definitions. And certain philosophies oft identified with certain names or groups. Any useful substance I added is aided by luck. And of course I added a Dr. D David Schultz joke in. David is not your typical clergymen. And Aron is far more than a grappler. We might just have given birth to an intellectual tag team for future shows.

This winter solstice, we invite you to experience something extraordinary - a magical Christmas story that transcends traditional religious boundaries and speaks to the universal longing for light within us all. In this special episode of Musings from the Mount, Michael Lindfield shares "The Promise of Light," a remarkable tale that came to him through an angelic presence at Scotland's Findhorn Community in 1985. As the longest night of the year embraces us, Michael's story weaves together themes of cosmic music, inner awakening, and the eternal promise of light that lives within every human heart. Through the eyes of two children visited by an angel on Christmas Eve, we discover how the Christmas story is part of a greater symphony being composed across the cosmos - one in which we all play a vital part. This isn't just another Christmas story - it's an invitation to understand the deeper meaning behind all spiritual traditions that celebrate the return of light. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Solstice, Hanukkah, or simply seeking meaning in the darkness of winter, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the universal human experience of discovering our inner light. Join Michael Lindfield and Joseph Carenza for this heartwarming episode that reminds us that we are all carriers of divine light, each of us a Christmas story waiting to be told through how we choose to live our lives.

For this week's Haunting Season-themed Local Legends episode, Martin gathers round the Three Ravens campfire with writer, paranormal psychologist, and all-round super-cool spooky person Evelyn Hollow.It's likely you will have already heard of Evelyn, who is probably most famous for her work on Uncanny and various Danny Robins-hosted series such as The Battersea Poltergeist and The Witch Farm. You might have also seen her on the Warner Bros TV shows Spooked Scotland and Spooked Ireland which stream on Discovery Channel+. And there's perhaps a prevailing perception of her as "That Ghost Lady from The Programmes" but, as this interview goes to demonstrate, there's a heck of a lot more to Evelyn than such a persona might imply.She holds a Master of Research degree in Paranormal Psychology, is a former psychology lecturer, is tremendously nerdy about things you might not expect - not just maths but quantum physics, for example - and she has had a super-interesting career: In 2015 she was the recipient of the Lonely Planet Travel Writing Scholarship, she was a resident author at Esoterica for several years, the occult columnist for Corvid Culture, and has written numerous articles for Haunted magazine. She has taught writing classes at all sorts of places too, from universities to arts festivals, and her first book, The Atlas of Paranormal Places, was published in September.And the above is just the tip of the iceberg really. In fact, Evelyn's role on Uncanny, as the representative of 'Team Believer,' belies a wealth of hard work, rigorous research, and an awful lot of hard science.As such, settle in for a chat which folds in all sorts of fascinating concepts, from the history of Planck's Constant and the fiercely brilliant fiction of writers like Shirley Jackson to the awesomeness of dictionaries and the reality of what's actually involved in being a parapsychologist. Which, as Evelyn explains, is not what many people think it is...To learn more about Evelyn do visit her website at https://evelynhollow.com/, we hope you enjoy the episode, and we'll be back on Monday with our final trio of original ghost stories for Haunting Season 2024!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

What would you call someone who is a very creative person with questions and not consuming reality the way it was told to them? Some would call that person normal, while others would perceive them as weird while a select few in the medical “health” community would label them mentally ill.Sarah Elkhaldy describes her journey from being declared mentally ill by “experts” to learning who she really is — a gifted mystic and spiritual teacher skilled in the esoteric arts — and shares why alchemy is synonymous to awakening this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about Sarah and her work on her website (where you can find out more about her Spiritual Retreat in Sedona in January 2025).

Learn about the fascinating connection between François Rabelais' Gargantua and Aleister Crowley's Thelema. In Gargantua, Rabelais introduces the Abbey of Thélème, a utopian society governed by the motto 'Fay ce que vouldras' ('Do what you will'). This principle would later inspire Crowley's central Thelemic tenet, 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.' Learn how Rabelais' Renaissance humanism, satire, and vision of personal freedom profoundly influenced Crowley's esoteric philosophy, bridging the gap between literature and occult spirituality.

What do Hegel, Marx, and esoteric traditions have in common? Join us for an enlightening episode featuring Dr. Justin Sledge from the Esoterica channel as we explore this fascinating intersection. Dr. Sledge shares his insights into the influence of figures like Hegel and Marx on political theology and esoteric traditions, while also addressing Adorno's critique and the resurgence of conspiracies about Marxism. We'll uncover Dr. Sledge's motivations for his unique content on esoteric Marxism and Hegelianism, and discuss the intriguing influence of Hermeticism on Hegel, alongside Marx's reluctance to speculate about the future.From graduate school struggles to dissertation triumphs, we delve into the unresolved tensions in Marxist metaethics and their catastrophic implications for later Marxist implementations. Hear about my personal experiences grappling with the complexities of Marx's moral theory and how Victorian virtue ethics played a significant role in shaping his thoughts. We'll also challenge the tendency to impose rigid orthodoxies on thinkers like Marx, illustrating the flexibility and adaptability of Marxist theory through historical examples.In our final segments, we broaden the scope to examine class analysis, early Christianity, and the profound impact of esotericism on modernity. By applying class analysis to historical figures and movements, we gain fresh perspectives on events and ideologies. Dr. Sledge's unique qualifications provide an unparalleled view into the overlooked dimensions of mystical experiences on rationalist philosophy, urging a more nuanced understanding of philosophical development and historical materialism.

Join us for an engaging episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST as Rachel True and Mat Auryn welcome Mitch Horowitz, a leading voice in occultism and mysticism. Mitch shares insights from his show Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction, discussing how terms like "alien" and "ET" are culturally conditioned, drawing comparisons to older concepts like "ghosts" and "goblins." The conversation explores Carl Jung's view of UFOs as humanity's modern encounter with the numinous and the concept of egregores, linking ancient thought forms to phenomena like Slenderman. Mitch discusses how pagan symbols permeate American culture and unpacks the difference between the Illuminati in modern conspiracy theories versus historical reality. The episode also touches on the syncretic nature of religious traditions, the spiritual impact of synthetic versus natural textiles, and how media shapes beliefs around the occult and conspiracy theories. This episode is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by the intersections of spirituality, culture, and the unknown.Mitch's Website: https://www.mitchhorowitz.com/Our Links:Rachel True Website: https://truehearttarot.comMat Auryn Website: https://auryn.netModern Witch Podcast Network: https://modernwitch.comTrue Heart Intuitive Tarot, Guidebook And Deck: https://a.co/d/9ZNyRu1The Psychic Art of Tarot: Opening Your Inner Eye for More Insightful Readings: https://a.co/d/dUBT1bZPsychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick & Manifestation: https://a.co/d/bHelDwUMastering Magick: A Course in Spellcasting for the Psychic Witch: https://amzn.to/3VesGalPisces Witch: Unlock the Magic of Your Sun Sign: https://a.co/d/cGqcG61

Growing up in an Italian-American family, I was introduced to Malocchio (the Evil Eye) at a young age. I loved having this eccentric idea as part of my heritage. For centuries, some cultures have been able to accommodate both their Christian traditions along with various elements of folk magic, esoteric healing and what has come to be known as "witchcraft." Italy is no exception. Angela Puca is about the most perfect person to discuss these issues with. She was raised in Naples and has advanced degrees in Religious Studies. In her research she was able to gain the confidence of many folk magic practitioners who are no longer living in seclusion in tiny rural Italian villages.

Surprise Witches! I'm Back! I just could stay away from Witchy Woman Podcast and all of YOU! I missed the routine and the conversations I got to have with so many amazing people because of this podcast. So I'm back! In this episode I explain a bit about my hiatus and what's been going on in my chaos filled life. Then I share with you the story of Lilith and Eve and how they were demonized by the patriarchy. This is a repost from my short lived side quest, Witchy Woman History.  During researching Lilith and her origins, I found an excellent YouTube channel called Esoterica that I really recommend subscribing to if you like to nerd out on things like this. In their series about Lilith they mentioned that she may be the oldest character in Abrahamic history.  I find that absolutely indicative of the intent that Christianity had from the start; take down matriarchal societies by vilifying their deities and/or leaders. She was a character written about before mentions of angels and demons. She was before it all.  I hope you enjoy this episode!

"The Devil's finest ruse," Baudelaire wrote, "is to persuade you that he doesn't exist." In this episode, JF and Phil peer through a buzzing haze of lies, illusions, and mirages, in hopes of catching a glimpse, however brief, of the figure standing at its center. With a focus on the fifteenth major arcanum of the tarot, they try to make sense of this archetype which feels, at once, remotely distant and uncomfortably close to us, all while heeding the warning from the anonymous author of Meditations on the Tarot that one ought not look too deeply into the nature of evil, which is "unknowable in its essence."

If you could speak the language of the angels, what would you do? Asks divinity to explain the mysteries of the universe? Speak into existence the infamous regenerating chocolate bar? Check on your college boyfriend to make sure he's still a talentless loser with no prospects and no future? (just me?) Well, if nearly 6 years of Witch, Yes! has taught us anything, it's that unlimited power never lands in the hands of a competent woman. It usually finds it ways into the unwashed mits of a bearded man... or how about TWO! On this episode, Terra and Alicia decipher the secret language of angels and usher in the apocalypse just as John Dee and Edward Kelley attempted in the 1500s. When the world was burning witches at the stake and England was just an island and not an empire, two bearded boys with a love of sudoku and a dream ventured into the celestial realm. They made friends! They made enemies. But mostly they wrote a book that they believed could unlock the secrets of the universe. We'd like to formally thank Dr. Justin Sledge of ESOTERICA for his extensive lectures on Enochian Magic available for free on his YouTube Channel. We could not have finished this episode without you.
