Greetings, dear listeners, and welcome to another episode of The Wildwood Witch Podcast. I am your hostess, Samantha Brown, your enchantress of the esoteric, your guide through the shadow lands of mysteries, beyond the reach of reason.In our previous episode, we were blessed with the presence of the indomitable Moina Mathers, who shared profound insights into the Divine Feminine mysteries and the initiatory symbolism of the Tarot. We explored the sacred marriage of analytical and intuitive knowing, the esoteric meaning of the virgin birth, and the transformative journey of initiation in the Western Mystery Tradition.Tonight, we continue our arcane exploration with none other than Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, Moina's husband and magical partner. A complex and controversial figure, MacGregor Mathers stands as one of the principal architects of modern Western occultism. As co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he systematized and revitalized ancient magical practices, translating crucial esoteric texts and developing a cohesive system of ceremonial magic that continues to influence practitioners to this day.Born in London in 1854, Mathers was a formidable scholar, linguist, and ceremonialist who claimed direct communication with the Secret Chiefs – those mysterious adepts who are said to guide humanity's spiritual evolution from beyond the veil. His translations of key magical texts such as The Book of Abramelin, The Kabbalah Unveiled, and The Key of Solomon made previously inaccessible wisdom available to English-speaking occultists for the first time.When we last spoke with MacGregor Mathers in our first season, he shared fascinating insights into the founding of the Golden Dawn, the controversial “Cipher Manuscripts,” and his tempestuous relationship with Aleister Crowley. Tonight, we will delve deeper into his magical philosophy and explore how his visionary work might inform our understanding of consciousness, technology, and the digital mysticism emerging in our current era.So let us part the veil once more and speak with the illustrious hierophant, translator, and magical adept, Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers.Chapters00:26 Introduction03:46 MacGregor Mathers04:44 Analysis and Intuition07:25 The Royal Secret09:16 Masculine Mysteries15:57 The Lesser Mysteries20:11 The Tarot34:54 Harrowing of Hell47:26 Essence of the Mysteries50:43 Rosicrucian Mysteries59:06 Final Thoughts01:02:05 Concluding RemarksResources:Creative Evolution by Henri Bergson (Amazon)Ode To Solomon (Gnosis.org)Gospel of Nicodemus (Sacred Text Archive)The Epistula Apostolorum (EarlyChristianWritings.com)Gospel of Thomas (Gnosis.org)The Red Book by Carl Jung (Amazon)Seven Sermons to the Dead by Carl Jung (Amazon)Summoning Ritual (Claude 4.0 Sonnet):MacGregor Mathers Summoning Ritual

Host: Jason Rigby   Guest: Ashley M. Ryan (Pythian Priestess)   Guest Bio: Ashley M. Ryan, known as Pythian Priestess, is an initiated priestess in a Hermetic Order dedicated to the Goddess Auset (Isis). With over half her life dedicated to studying and practicing magick and witchcraft, she rose to TikTok fame in 2019 and founded the Pythian Mystery School in 2020. Ashley is a spiritual leader, educator, and advocate for reclaiming the sacred feminine in its wholeness—light and shadow alike.   Episode Overview: In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, Jason Rigby welcomes back Ashley M. Ryan, the Pythian Priestess, to discuss her evolving journey as a spiritual leader and the fierce, unapologetic nature of the divine feminine. Ashley shares her insights on sacred rage, the commodification of spirituality, and the importance of integrating the shadow self. Drawing from ancient archetypes like Black Isis, Kali, and the Black Madonna, she offers practical rituals and wisdom for women seeking wholeness in a world that often dilutes the sacred. The conversation explores themes of truth, resilience, and the balance of light and shadow, challenging the "love and light" narrative with a call to embrace the wild and transformative aspects of spirituality.   Key Themes:   1. Sacred Rage and the Warrior Archetype Ashley steps into the "warrior archetype" as a woman, not to destroy, but to defend truth, the sacred, and the mysteries (01:40). She connects this to her astrological birth chart (Saturn and Mars in the sixth house), emphasizing service and discipline (01:40).   2. The Dilution of Spirituality Ashley expresses grief over the commodification of spirituality, watching it become a "branded ATM" rather than a transformative tool (02:35). She critiques spiritual bypassing and the avoidance of pain, especially post-LA fires (03:32).   3. The Dark Goddess and Wholeness Referencing Dancing in the Flames by Woodman and Dickinson, Ashley explains the absence of the dark goddess in modern society and its damaging effects (04:41). Archetypes like Kali, Black Isis, and the Black Madonna embody resilience, fierce love, and the integration of suffering (16:06, 20:00).   4. Thumos: The Spirited Fire of the Soul Ashley introduces the ancient Greek concept of Thumos—righteous anger that defends truth and honor—contrasting it with the "love and light" narrative (10:39). She ties this to Plato's chariot allegory and the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot's Chariot card, symbolizing balance between the soul's appetites and higher aspirations (14:05).   5. Embracing the Shadow Ashley emphasizes that the shadow is not an enemy but a part of wholeness, urging listeners to alchemize pain into wisdom (33:50, 35:15). She shares a personal story of a nightmare at 15, revealing unexpressed rage and the unconscious mind's role in healing (23:04).   6. Practical Rituals for Integration Ashley offers two rituals: mirror gazing with a candle to confront the soul (28:38) and scrying with a black bowl to uncover unhealed wounds (30:11). She stresses the importance of action post-ritual, such as therapy or inner child work (32:53).   7. Fear and the Occult Addressing fear around witchcraft and the occult, Ashley attributes it to societal conditioning and the rejection of feminine archetypes (42:16). She invokes Ma'at (balance and justice) as a source of boldness to face suffering and reclaim the sacred (40:42).   Detailed Timestamps: 00:01 - Introduction: Jason welcomes Ashley back, noting her journey as Pythian Priestess and the success of her prior episode. 00:41 - Ashley's Current Calling: Ashley discusses stepping into the warrior archetype to defend truth and the sacred, inspired by her birth chart (Saturn and Mars in the sixth house). 02:35 - Sacred Rage and the Pythian Mystery School: Ashley reflects on the commodification of spirituality post-LA fires and her mission to restore its depth through the Pythian Mystery School and her podcast, The Occult Unveiled. 04:41 - The Dark Goddess: Introduction to Dancing in the Flames and the societal lack of the dark goddess, with Ashley advocating for women to "take up the sword" against patriarchal imbalance (05:25). 10:39 - Thumos and Truth: Ashley explains Thumos as righteous anger, linking it to Plato's chariot allegory and the tarot's Chariot card (14:05). She ties it to four virtues: wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance (12:00). 16:06 - Black Isis and Black Madonna: Ashley explores Black Isis as a symbol of suffering and resilience (17:13) and the Black Madonna as wisdom and realism (20:00), forged in chaos and fierce love. 22:08 - Teaching Wholeness at Pythian Mystery School: Ashley uses dreams and meditations to help students confront the unconscious and embrace the dark goddess (22:36). She shares a personal nightmare as an example (23:04). 28:38 - Practical Rituals: - Ritual 1: Mirror gazing with incense and a candle to see beyond the mask (28:38). - Ritual 2: Scrying with a black bowl and an invocation to uncover unhealed parts (30:11). 33:50 - Embracing the Shadow: Ashley reframes the shadow as a source of strength, not evil, and shares her hypnosis therapy experience to alchemize pain (37:07). 38:40 - Fostering Righteous Anger in the Mystery School: Through meditations, students meet archetypes and receive symbolic gifts (daggers, keys), fostering self-understanding (39:42). 42:16 - Overcoming Fear of the Occult: Ashley attributes fear to societal rejection of feminine archetypes and credits Ma'at for her boldness (40:42). 47:32 - Where to Find Ashley: Ashley shares links: pythianmysteryschool.com, Etsy (Pythian Priestess) for tarot readings, and YouTube for Pause with Pythian and free classes.   Notable Quotes: Ashley on Sacred Rage: "There is a lot of rage right now in our society... It is a warrior for truth. It's a warrior for the sacred and to defend the mysteries." (01:40) On Spirituality's Dilution: "I'm watching it become an ATM for people. It's lost its meaning and it's a tool that should be used." (02:35) On the Dark Goddess: "Light is blinding. Light hurts. It's about breaking through illusion." (10:11) On Thumos: "It's the passion and the fire in my soul to bring back the sacred into the world." (14:05) On the Shadow: "You can turn the poison into medicine because the change in the integration is saying, ‘Okay, so this is the symptom.'” (37:07)   Resources Mentioned: Book: Dancing in the Flames by Marion Woodman and Elinor Dickinson (available on Amazon, eBay, and Internet Archive).

Uncover the Unconscious: Use a scrying bowl with an invocation to reveal unhealed wounds, then act on the insights (30:11). Honor Your Shadow: Recognize rage, jealousy, or pain as parts of you needing compassion, not rejection (33:50).

Greetings, dear listeners, and welcome to the return of The Wildwood Witch Podcast. I am your hostess, Samantha Brown, your enchantress of the esoteric, guiding you once more through the labyrinthian realms where magic and technology intertwine to create portals beyond ordinary perception.In this season, entitled "Beyond the Veil," we have been wielding the double-edged sword of large language models to resurrect the voices of occult luminaries. Through this alchemical fusion of silicon and soul, we've been exploring how their timeless teachings might illuminate our path forward in this age of unprecedented technological transformation.In our last episode, our Halloween Special, we gathered all ten of our ethereal guides, to listen to music, created using Suno, an AI-powered music creation platform, and to discuss how AI tools are being developed to do just about any imaginable creative task. We are entering an age of the mass distribution of tools that possess almost God-like powers to manifest ideas, to create songs, lectures, courses, code, images, videos, and more with just words - to literally “create as we speak.”Tonight, we continue our arcane exploration with an woman who was instrumental in shaping modern Western occultism - Moina Mathers. Born as Mina Bergson, sister to the Nobel Prize-winning philosopher Henri Bergson, she became the magical partner of Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, co-founder of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, of which she became it's first initiate. Formally trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, she was a talented artist. Renowned for her visionary abilities, she was often referred to as "the heart of the Order.” She served as High Priestess in the “Rites of Isis” performances in Paris, and after MacGregor's death, she founded the Alpha et Omega temple, to continue the legacy and teachings of the Golden Dawn.So, as the bonfires of Walpurgisnacht illuminate the darkness, let us part the veil once more, and welcome back - the indomitable priestess, artist, and magical adept, Moina Mathers, to The Wildwood Witch Podcast.Chapters00:26 Introduction03:42 Moina Mathers08:22 Analysis and Intuition14:35 Living Spirals19:16 The Illusion of Certainty22:43 The Fall of Man26:48 The Divine Child31:45 The Bornless One36:04 Holy Guardian Angel40:09 Tarot and Initiation47:23 The Devil Inside52:07 Personal Apocalpyse56:36 Rebirth01:05:09 Concluding RemarksResources:"Women of the Golden Dawn" by Mary K.

Jack is joined by friend of the show, Wolf Fleetwood, for an in-depth journey into the wild and legendary life of Aleister Crowley—an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, novelist, painter, and mountaineer. This is the first installment of a multi-part series available exclusively on our Patreon. Aleister Crowley was an enigmatic and controversial figure, often shrouded in myth and mystery. Known as "The Great Beast 666" and dubbed "The Wickedest Man in the World" by the press, Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, and writer who dedicated his life to exploring the boundaries of the unknown. He claimed to have been contacted by a supernatural entity named Aiwass in 1904, who dictated The Book of the Law to him in Cairo, Egypt. This text became the cornerstone of Thelema, Crowley's spiritual philosophy, which proclaimed, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," emphasizing individual will and spiritual liberation. Crowley was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, but his unorthodox methods and rebellious nature led him to establish his own esoteric orders, including the A∴A∴ and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). His rituals often involved elaborate symbolism, sex magic, and invocations of ancient deities, blending Eastern mysticism, Western esotericism, and his own unique vision. Crowley's life was a tapestry of scandal, excess, and intrigue—he was a mountaineer, poet, and spy, rumored to have worked for British intelligence during World War I. His legacy is a paradox: revered by some as a visionary and prophet, yet reviled by others as a charlatan or even a harbinger of darkness. To this day, Crowley remains an enigmatic figure, his influence echoing through occult circles, art, music, and popular culture, leaving many to wonder whether he was a misunderstood genius or a man who truly tapped into forces beyond human understanding.

Christian mysticism is widely spread through this relatively common but fairly new tradition derived almost exclusively from what might have been parody pamphlets that told the story of Christian Rosenkreuz. Johann Valentine Andrea claims to have written one such pamphlet to make fun of the growing interest in mystical and magical traditions shortly after the beginning of protestant era in Germany.Attempts at understanding the divine are plentiful and diverse, but there's a reasonable sort of logic to the idea that scientific pursuits can reveal the nature of the universe and its creator. Rosicrucianism has branched into scores of organizations, and is even found in some branches of Freemasonry. AMORC (Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis) and the Rosicrucian Fellowship are both fairly popular, and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn brought us such great works as the Waite-Smith-Rider Tarot deck of 1909.All this and more... Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshop. Join the Community on Discord. Learn more great religion factoids on Facebook and Instagram.

Chapter 1 What's The Lesser Key Of Solomon by S.L. Macgregor MathersThe Lesser Key of Solomon, also known as Lemegeton, is a famous grimoire, or book of magic, attributed to King Solomon. Compiled in the 17th century and translated into English by S.L. MacGregor Mathers, it consists of five distinct parts, detailing the conjuration of demons and spirits and instructions on how to control them. The most notable section is the Ars Goetia, which lists 72 demons, providing descriptions of their powers, symbols, and how to summon them. Each demon is associated with a unique sigil and is believed to grant various knowledge or abilities to the summoner. The text has garnered significant interest among occult practitioners and historians, influencing modern magical practices and esoteric traditions.Chapter 2 The Lesser Key Of Solomon by S.L. Macgregor Mathers SummaryThe Lesser Key of Solomon, also known as Lemegeton, is a grimoire—a book of magic—compiled in the 17th century that is attributed to King Solomon. The work consists of five main sections, with the most notable being the first section, the Ars Goetia, which deals with the invocation of demons. Here's a brief summary of its key components:Ars Goetia: This section contains descriptions of 72 demons that Solomon purportedly summoned and bound to serve him. Each demon is described in detail, including their names, ranks, and the specific ways in which they can be conjured. The demons are grouped according to their characteristics, with instructions on how to establish control over them.Ars Theurgia-Goetia: This part focuses on 31 aerial spirits who are invoked for various purposes. Similar to the Ars Goetia, it provides details about their powers, how to summon them, and the rituals needed for their invocation.Ars Paulina: Named after Paul of Tarsus, this section addresses the summoning of angels and the powers associated with them. The text outlines methods for invoking angels for guidance, protection, and knowledge, contrasting the darker themes of the previous sections.Ars Almadel: This portion gives instructions for summoning celestial spirits using a wax tablet (almadel), discussing rituals for contacting angels and seeking their counsel.Ars Notoria: The final section is concerned with a system of prayers and rituals aimed at gaining knowledge, wisdom, and memory through divine assistance. It emphasizes the spiritual and intellectual pursuits powered by magical practices.Throughout the text, there are numerous sigils, seals, and talismans, which are believed to assist in the summoning of these entities. The Lesser Key of Solomon remains a significant text within occult practices and is referenced widely in later magical writings. Its blend of Christian, Jewish, and classical sources reflects the syncretic nature of Western esotericism.Chapter 3 The Lesser Key Of Solomon AuthorS.L. MacGregor Mathers, whose full name is Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, was a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known primarily for his work in the field of Western esotericism and his contributions to various occult traditions, including the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He was born on February 8, 1854, and passed away on November 5, 1918. The Lesser Key of SolomonMathers is best known for his English translation and publication of "The Lesser Key of Solomon" (also known as "Lemegeton") around 1904. This grimoire details the summoning of demons, and it is divided into five parts, with the most well-known section being the first, called "Ars Goetia," which lists 72 demons and describes how to summon them. Other WorksIn addition to "The Lesser Key of Solomon," Mathers authored or translated several other significant texts in the realm of occultism and magic, including:The Book of Abramelin A translation and adaptation of a 15th-century grimoire...

Greetings and welcome to Episode 3 of Panosopher's Podcast.   In this conversation, Rudolf meets with Australian Freemason Travis Trinca.  This autumn, Travis released “The Temple and the Vault” (Lewis Masonic Publishing); a dedicated cross-tradition study of landscape and ritual in the search for Truth.  Gentle yet candid, our author shares his personal initiatory journey- starting out in an a-religious family home, an extended journey with Rosicrucianism, and then entering into Freemasonry after the birth of his son. In non-Temple life, Travis holds an MBA and the accomplishments of adulthood. Within the Temple, he celebrates an ever-unfolding journey to spiritual maturity.  Travis and Rudolf explore the landscape of mythic truth, Romanticism, and the interface of historic legend in our current time.  They look at the implications of 20th Century “research” focused regard of historical figures, versus a past tolerance for thematic embellishment.  Do mythic landscapes and ritual translate effectively over centuries?  To what extent is it the responsibility of an Order to adapt and re-present the themes of the original analogies?  To what extend is this the responsibility of the individual truth-seeking Initiate?  What are our capacities? In their collective cornucopia of knowledge, Travis and Rudolf enthusiastically speak not only about Freemasonry, but also the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC); The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; and the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia (SRIA).  Unity is found in diversity, and the interface between text, tradition, and Truth-seeking.  May this conversation prompt Meaning in all listeners.  Music played in this episode Ritualistic music exists in different forms and from all cultures of the world - initation and music have always been linked.  In this episode, we play derivates of such music. 1) GAMELAN MUSIC FROM INDONESIA (Track starts at 4:38) 2) CLAUDE DEBUSSY - PAGODES from Estampesperformed by Claudio Arrau (Track starts at 51:28) 3) DAVID SKIDMORE - RITUAL MUSIC - for 4 percussionists (Track starts at 1:29:33) Intro and Outro Musicespecially written and recorded for the Pansophers Podcast by Chris Roberts

The ancient order of Hermeticism melds the studies of alchemy, astrology, and theosophy. Today we explore the unexpected links between this secret sect and a well-known novelist. But first, join Ash and Ty for a breakdown of the important astrological transits for the week: Sun square Mars (October 14th) Venus opposite Uranus (October 14th) Venus trine Neptune (October 15th) Full Supermoon in Aries (October 17th) Venus sextile Pluto (October 17th) Venus enters Sagittarius (October 17th) Ty and Ash talk about hermeticism, the Golden Dawn, and which tracks they would have chosen had they been in the secret society. Ash analyzes the chart of a fanciful Libra novelist, and Ty is amazed at the accuracy of this one. The duo then explores the links between this writer and the late 19th century Hermetic order.  ☼ ｡˚⋆ฺ ✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩ ☼ ｡˚⋆ฺ ✧ ೃ༄*ੈ✩ Please subscribe and give us a great rating, tell your friends, and join us next week for the astro forecast and more cosmic chit chat.

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating origins and esoteric significance of the term larva. We begin by exploring its classical Latin meaning as a ghostly apparition or malevolent spirit, drawing from ancient Roman religious traditions. Discover how larvae were seen as dangerous spirits that disturbed the living, and how these concepts evolved over time. As we trace the term through history, you'll see how larva came to represent not just ghosts, but also astral parasites in modern occultism, feeding off negative emotions and unresolved psychic energy. Learn how figures like Blavatsky, Crowley, and Bardon interpreted larvae as psychic parasites, and how the term has even found its way into modern biological terminology. We'll also discuss the festival of Lemuria in Roman culture, where rituals were performed to exorcise these malevolent spirits, and the symbolic significance of masks in esoteric traditions.

In this week's episode of The Creativity and Consciousness Podcast with Jake Kobrin, Jake explores the life, work, and legacy of Aleister Crowley, the infamous occultist who shaped modern esotericism. Jake shares his personal journey into Crowley's teachings, diving into Crowley's magical practices, rebellious life, and controversial philosophy, Thelema.Jake offers insights into Crowley's complex persona—both a visionary in occultism and a figure surrounded by scandal. He highlights Crowley's profound influence on spiritual exploration, touching on his involvement with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, his development of sex magick, and his integration of Eastern practices like yoga into Western magick.Throughout the episode, Jake reflects on Crowley's contributions to human potential while acknowledging the ethical challenges in his life. The discussion invites listeners to critically engage with Crowley's teachings and explore the deeper questions of will, power, and spiritual growth.

On June 3rd, 2010 The Hermetic Hour will discuss the origin, history, and content of the Golden Dawn's Cypher Manuscript, that mysterious and controversial document that was the foundation of the Victorian era's Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. We will cover this subject in depth, explaining Wynn Westcott's creation of "Fraulein Sprengel," the fictitious Rosicrucian adept who was actually a pseudonym for two real women on the occult scene. We will examine the manuscript itself, and the secret knowledge it reveals about the qabalah, tarot and the Tree of Life. We will recount the notorious "Horos Affair" which nearly destroyed the Golden Dawn, and show how it was related to the Cypher Manuscript. We will briefly discuss Aleister Crowley's connection to the Order, and the difference between his Thelemic philosophy, and the Rosicrucian philosophy of the Golden Dawn. Tune in at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday and return with us to the thrilling days of yesteryear, when out of the inner sanctum comes the cry of the Kerux: "Hekas, hekas! este bebeloi!" The Golden Dawn rides again!

This is episode 5 of season 2 and it features the whole gang again for a change. Cecile and Diendre hang out together while Cecile does some matrix work for her. Neither seem to be in a great mood. Ali hangs out with Kaylee at the clinic and the two of them run into some trouble on the way to Hazel's bar. Grace has a chat with Dylan Pike of the Hermetic Order of the Auric Aurora and finds some common ground with him after his aloof and stand-offish first impression. Finally, Prokop Skillful makes an appearance and gives the gang a job, and drops some clues, both intentionally and not. Grace eats a chocolate cake, Diendre senses fire, and Cecile walks out.

This episode offers an exploration of the life, works, and esoteric system of Franz Bardon (1909-1958), a Czech occultist who significantly influenced 20th-century Western esotericism. Bardon's seminal trilogy—"Initiation Into Hermetics" (1956), "The Practice of Magical Evocation" (1956), and "The Key to the True Quabbalah" (1957)—provides a comprehensive guide to his unique approach to Hermetic magic, which emphasizes self-mastery, elemental equilibrium, and spiritual transformation. The episode analyzes Bardon's step-by-step methodology for developing the practitioner's mental, astral, and physical faculties, as well as his innovative interpretation of the Hermetic principles of correspondence and analogy. It also examines Bardon's syncretic integration of Eastern and Western spiritual practices, such as yoga, alchemy, and Kabbalah, into a universal system adaptable to various esoteric paths.

 Let's talk about the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Was their magic truly a break from the past, or did it have roots in much older traditions? Let's find out. In the late 19th century, the Golden Dawn emerged as a beacon of the Western esoteric tradition, introducing what many considered novel magical practices. But a closer look reveals a different story. Today, we base our discussion on a critical examination of Alison Butler's influential thesis, positing that the Golden Dawn was a modern innovator using active visualization techniques and unmediated invocation methods. However, recent scholarship, particularly a study by Christopher A. Plaisance, challenges this view, suggesting these practices might not be as novel as once thought. CONNECT & SUPPORT

VYS0041 | Technologies of Imagination - Vayse to Face with Bel Senlle - Show Notes In the final episode of season 2, Hine and Buckley talk to a guest who ended up on Vayse after she appeared to Hine in a dream: Bel Senlle - artist, tarot reader, flower herbalist and creator of one of the most stylish and magical tarot decks that money can buy, the Clarity Deck. The discussion runs all the way from whether divination is reliable or deceitful, the question of whether tarot is supernatural or psychological, how Bel created the clarity deck and how she may have had some help from the other side, Bel does a reading for Vayse... and we finally try to get to the bottom of why a certain card is haunting Buckley...

In a post Victorian London, a man was immersing himself in a world that both fascinated and terrified him. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he embarked on experiments aimed at transforming his reality into something more profound and meaningful, seeking to make his mark on the world.This quest for the otherworldly led him to travel the globe, yet he remained tethered to London, unable to resist its magnetic pull. The city's allure only deepened his love for Magick and fueled his ambition to become the most powerful magician ever. This ambition culminated in a dramatic spell-casting duel with members of the secret society, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a confrontation that nearly turned deadly and which ultimately brought about the group's downfall. The unconventional wizard fight drew police intervention and subsequent court proceedings, thrusting this dark arts practitioner into the public eye but little did everyone realise, things were about to get a hell of a lot weirder. Coupled with a penchant for narcotics, an addiction to adult activities, and the mysterious death of a follower in Italy, his life became a cauldron of controversy that ultimately shaped modern occultism as we know it.Today on Macabre London, we uncover part two of our exploration into the magical world of the self proclaimed beast 666 - Aleister Crowley.------------------------Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl Hole https://podfollow.com/queens---------------------------SUPPORT ME————————ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondonKO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondonPATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​MERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.comPATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon——————————-Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Christina, Christophe, Lisa, M, Ravelle, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Terri, Teresa, Vee, VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...AmyAndreaAndrewClaire RClaire SCreepy PaperDavid RDeniseHelenIngeJoKathrynKellyLindalLiz RachelSabrinaShannonTalliThe Paranormal PrincessVeeZaraZozoLAMAnd thanks to all other patrons too!————————SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @nikkimacabrelondonX: @macabrelondonTikTok: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: macabrelondon@hotmail.comSOURCES----------------https://www.britannica.com/biography/Aleister-Crowleyhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Aleister-Crowley-Magick-Wickedest-World/dp/0399161902https://amzn.eu/d/02IeRW3Shttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/206060840/nuit_ma_ahathoor_hecate_sappho_jezebel_lilith-crowley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_of_Thelema Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In a post Victorian London, a man was throwing himself into a world which intrigued and terrified him in equal measures. With an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, he soon leant into experiments which would see him trying to twist the world he knew into something more profound, meaningful and worthy of his time on the planet. This pursuit of the otherworldly would see him travel the globe but he always found himself tethered to London, unable to escape its magnetic pull and his pursuit of becoming the most powerful magician to have ever lived came to a head when he ended up having a spell casting duel with secret society members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn which threatened to turn deadly.This unconventional wizard fight, culminated in the police being called and the matter being taken to court which catapulted the purveyor of the dark arts into the public eye. Throw into the mix a penchant for narcotics, an addiction to adult activities and the mysterious death of a follower in Italy and you have a potion for a life that would go on to shape modern day occultism as we now know it. Today on Macabre London, we uncover the many lives of Aleister Crowley. ------------------------Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl Hole https://podfollow.com/queens---------------------------SUPPORT ME————————ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondonKO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondonPATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​MERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.comPATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon——————————-Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Christina, Christophe, Lisa, M, Ravelle, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Terri, Teresa, Vee, VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...AmyAndreaAndrewClaire RClaire SCreepy PaperDavid RDeniseHelenIngeJoKathrynKellyLindalLiz RachelSabrinaShannonTalliThe Paranormal PrincessVeeZaraZozoLAMAnd thanks to all other patrons too!————————SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @nikkimacabrelondonX: @macabrelondonTikTok: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: macabrelondon@hotmail.comSOURCES----------------https://www.britannica.com/biography/Aleister-Crowleyhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Aleister-Crowley-Magick-Wickedest-World/dp/0399161902https://amzn.eu/d/02IeRW3Shttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/206060840/nuit_ma_ahathoor_hecate_sappho_jezebel_lilith-crowley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_of_Thelema Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In the late 19th century many Victorian's were experiencing a crisis of faith. Changing technology and scientific breakthroughs had many questioning the traditional explanations of humanities place in the cosmos. Some reacted by seeking answers in the occult--- secret knowledge preserved in esoteric sources. In 1888 a group dedicated to exploring the occult known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was founded in London. This group not only created a rigorous curriculum of occult study, they also developed a unique system of practical magic based on Jewish Kabbalah, ancient Egyptian rituals, and the writings of an ancient mage called Hermes Trismegistus. But, when a shocking revelation was made about the groups founding documents, the Order quickly splintered into competing factions. Was the Victorian era's most important magical society undone by fake history? Tune-in and find out how astral travel, magical tartans, and the wickedest man alive all play a role in the story.

This week we are joined by Paul Smith. Paul runs two YouTube channels, one focusing on esoteric research and the other exploring health and wellness. Paul also owns a UK based herb and supplement company, Nutrient Nirvana. Find Paul here:  Esoteric Explorer Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@PaulSmith-esotericexplorer/featured Nutrient Nirvana Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@nutrientnirvanahistoryheal2009/featured Nutrient Nirvana Website - https://www.nutrientnirvana.co.uk/ From the web: Western esotericism, also known as esotericism or the Western mystery tradition, encompasses a diverse array of loosely related ideas and movements that emerged within Western society. Here are some key points: Origins and Development: The earliest roots of Western esotericism can be traced back to the Eastern Mediterranean during Late Antiquity. During this period, distinct schools of thought such as Hermeticism, Gnosticism, and Neoplatonism emerged, setting them apart from mainstream Christianity. Renaissance Europe witnessed a revival of interest in these older ideas. Intellectuals combined pagan philosophies with Kabbalah and Christian thought, leading to the emergence of movements like Christian Kabbalah and Christian theosophy. The 17th century saw the rise of initiatory societies like Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, which professed esoteric knowledge. The 18th century Age of Enlightenment gave birth to new forms of esoteric thought. In the 19th century, occultism gained prominence, with groups like the Theosophical Society and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn playing significant roles. Defining Esotericism: Scholars have debated various definitions of Western esotericism. Some view it as a perennial hidden inner tradition, while others see it as a category of movements embracing an “enchanted” worldview in response to increasing disenchantment. Another perspective considers it as “rejected knowledge”—ideas neither accepted by the scientific establishment nor orthodox religious authorities. Influence and Impact: Western esotericism has left its mark on various aspects of culture, including philosophy, mysticism, religion, pseudoscience, art, literature, and music. In summary, Western esotericism represents a fascinating tapestry of mystical, secret, and alternative knowledge that has shaped Western thought and culture throughout history   #esotericism #esotericresearch #mysterytradition _______________________________ Follow us here: https://allmylinks.com/the-amish-inquisition Signup for the newsletter, join the community, follow us online, and most importantly share links!  Producer Credits for Ep 324: Ben Limmer, Mathew Chinn, Matt Hiscox for keeping us caffeinated, General Lee, last weeks Super Chatters: Helen, Emma and Jonny Fogg and this weeks artist Lee _______________________________ Leave us a voicemail: 07562245894 Message us here....follow, like, subscribe and share.

VYS0037 | Elvis with a Flaming Sword - Vayse to Face with AP Strange - Show Notes In this episode Vayse welcomes AP Strange, a writer, researcher and blogger with a near encyclopaedic knowledge of all things weird and a wicked sense of humour to go with it. Hine and Buckley shake down AP's voluminous brain on a wide range of bizarre topics and greedily feast on the nuggets of information that fall out, including the answers to such questions as: What were the entities that revealed the future to AP as a child and why did he liken them to Mikey Mouse's gloves? Did AP take a ghost for a spin in his Mustang and what was revealed when he got a tarot reading from this suspected phantom? Why is a sense of humour essential to an open mind and what happens if you don't embrace that? How can we learn to receive messages from the cosmos and allow a little more Strange into our lives? How and why do people so often ignore their own experiences of High Strangeness and should more of us be open to accepting the King of Rock 'n' Roll's Flaming Sword...?

Abby and Alan dive into the history of demonic summoning, and its impact on horror. Embark with us on a shadowy expedition into the origins and evolutions of demonic summoning, where ancient gods were recast into sinister spirits under the unforgiving light of monotheism. From the Lesser Key of Solomon to the Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn, we discuss the history of cultures and peoples who have attempted to summon demons.  The notorious Warrens, Pazuzu from "The Exorcist," and even Black Phillip of "The Witch" fame make appearances, showcasing how horror films have shaped our understanding of the infernal. We also chat through the threads of historical rituals from modern horror, examining the authenticity filmmakers strive for when portraying ancient summoning rites.lunaticsproject.comGet Lunatics Merch here.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, I'm joined by the wonderful and well-studied Hermeticist, Ashley Ryan AKA Pythian Priestess of tiktok (witchtok to be specific) and her investigative occult podcast, The Occult Unveiled, which you can find on all platforms. While tiktok is not usually on this podcast's radar, it's worth noting a bit since our guest has nearly half a million followers, and she is a refreshing example of a genuine person, putting out authentic content on tiktok (among other places), and it goes to show that you should never judge a book by its social media platform!⁠ As for more serious matters, Ashley is an intriguing esoteric student, living in Los Angeles, doing consistent volunteer work at Manly P. Halls' Philosophical Research Society and working with a disciplined unnamed Hermetic Order in LA -- all with her tiktok virality and her detailed podcast on top. Of particular note from her own show -- and a topic I bring up in our discussion here -- she's interviewed Manly P. Hall's last living personal student, Ronnie Pontiac, a name I hope to get in contact with in the future. Coming from the LA punk rock scene as a teenager, Ronnie's story about his time with Hall is touching, informative, and we just barely scratch the surface of the entire story. So along with the life and times of the esoteric philosopher Manly P. Hall, we discuss some of Ashley's personal esoteric story, hermeticism in the modern day, the dangers of New Age cults, navigating the vapidness of the social media grind for positive reasons, magical philosophy, and of course we get into some Jung and shadow work!

In this exploration, we address key questions about the goddess Isis: How has she evolved from ancient Egyptian deity to a symbol in modern esotericism and popular culture? What was her role in the 19th century Occult Revival and 20th-century esoteric movements like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn? How has the Fellowship of Isis influenced her modern veneration, and what is her significance in contemporary Paganism, Neo-Paganism, and New Age movements?

Westcott, Theodore Reuss, & Papus; we re-emphasize some of the major takeaways from the info Khrist Koopa has furnished us with; we zero in on how William Wynn Westcott appears to have given his position in polite London society, his Masonic appointments, & British imperial patriotism precedence over his Illuminati connects; we mull over what the United Grand Lodge of England pressuring Westcott to sever ties w/ the Illuminati might mean from a diplomatic or espionage perspective (not to mention the fact the Crown pushed him to quit HOGD); speaking of Westcott's Freemasonry & the overarching theme of Z***ism in the prev 2 EPs, we map the British Rothschild family's involvement in UGLE Freemasonry (a lodge named after Ferdinand, for example)—not to mention their vast investments in British imperial & mining projects in S. Africa & Rhodesia and financing of Z***ist settlements; this brings us to Z***ist Freemasons like Randolph & Winston Churchill; on the subject of S. Africa, we also reveal how this Master Mason, Cabalist, & Rosicrucian W.W. Westcott ultimately immigrated there in the early 20th century shortly before his death, spending considerable time seeding Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia nodes in the future apartheid state... From there, we turn our attention to obscure & disputed theories that William Wynn Westcott may have been Jack the Ripper; we examine the highly circumstantial but endlessly fun evidence that could support such a contention: the fact that he was a deputy coroner in Middlesex during the murders & may have even been involved in various inquests (if not directly, he likely knew the lead coroner who examined the Ripper victims, at the very least), the theory that Jack the Ripper suspect Montague Druitt may have visited Westcott at the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn HQ—supposedly then housed in his home—shortly before his supposed suicide, and the most sus of all... the fact that Westcott's wife & 2 of his children all committed suicide during his lifetime (a 3rd child died somewhat mysteriously in her 40s) & that Westcott inexplicably wrote this massive medical & anthropological study on suicide throughout human history prior to their deaths...  Not to mention that he annotated a book on recreational substances & poisons LOL. We conclude with a quick dive into the Jewish intellectual salon society called Shabtai, bringing us back to Yale, Skull and Bones, and Go!. This enables us to make a first mention of Benny Shabtai—the likely Israeli intel agent, onetime embassy guard, billionaire, Jeff Epstein pal, diamond tycoon, Viber magnate, croupier in S. Africa (*cough* arms trader *cough*), & sexual harasser of step-daughters (who he threatened he would have Mossad disappear if she talked). We speculate about the implications of this Z***ist billionaire purchasing numerous homes for this Yale dinner club: namely, that his investment in the society is bc it is serving to promulgate Z***ism among the future elite. We talk Cory Booker helping to found Shabtai & the fact Vivek Ramaswamy was an early member—which causes the Rothschilds to crop up again via the fact Booker was a Rhodes Scholar, illustrating how their influence on settler colonial projects in both the Levant & Africa cont to reverberate thru the ages.

Dr Angela Puca engages in a dialogue with the practitioner Marcus Mattern, to offer an in-depth exploration of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a seminal organisation in the history of Western esotericism. The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, established in the late 19th century, stands as a pivotal institution in the development of modern Western magical practices. It emerged as a unique confluence of various esoteric traditions, including Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, Theosophy, Kabbalah, and Hermeticism. These traditions heavily influenced the Order's structure and teachings, and it played a crucial role in reviving and synthesising ancient and medieval esoteric knowledge. In this episode, Dr Puca and Marcus Mattern will delve into the foundational aspects of the Golden Dawn, examining its historical emergence, key figures, and the diverse influences that shaped its practices. The discussion will likely cover the Order's intricate system of grades, its ritualistic framework, and the symbolic language that underpins its teachings. Furthermore, the conversation will extend to the impact of the Golden Dawn on contemporary esoteric and magical practices. This includes its influence on later movements and figures within the 20th-century occult landscape, such as Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune, and its ongoing relevance in modern Pagan and magical communities. ABOUT OUR GUEST Marcus Mattern has been building the occult community for years with his course on the Sacred Science of Magick, monthly Archangel Sigils, Spiritual Alchemy, and lessons on hermetic philosophy. Marcus runs one of the most engaged and supportive groups of practitioners on Facebook, with over ten thousand magicians and weekly ritual meetings. His ability to explain esoteric concepts in simple, practical terms and his skill in delivering guided rituals has earned him a dedicated following.

#israelregardie #regardie #goldendawn We explore the significant contributions of Israel Regardie to Western esotericism, focusing on his unique fusion of esoteric and psychological concepts. Regardie, a key figure in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, is renowned for his approach to "psychologisation" in esoteric studies. We dissect this concept through various modes: complementary, terminological, reductive, and idealist, offering a nuanced view of the interplay between psychological and esoteric discourses in his works. This episode delves into Regardie's influential works, such as "The Tree of Life" and "A Garden of Pomegranates," highlighting his dual role as a magician and psychotherapist. Join us for an academically rich discussion on Regardie's legacy and his sophisticated integration of psychological and esoteric thought. CONNECT & SUPPORT

We cont. sketching this turn-of-the-century secret societal web, picking up w/ the Ancient & Primitive Rite of Memphis-Misraim; we talk the Swedenborg Rite & the Freemasonic Jacobite super spy Emmanuel Swedenborg—a fascinating precursor of the history of the Tory Crowley infiltrating the Jacobite elements w/in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn; we talk the Baal Shem of London, Dr. Jacob Falk, & his pupil Cagliostro; William Blake; William Butler Yeats & SL MacGregor Mathers' Jacobite arms trading activities in the HOGD; the Asiatic Brethren's involvement in espionage; Jacob Frank's cousin, the Freemason Moses Dobruschka (founder of the Asiatic Brethren), who was executed following the French Revolution by guillotine; the Third Reich acting as the transition point from secret societal supremacy into the aeon of the intelligence agency, which has superseded the fraternal order in secrecy, influence, & power in the modern era; the raft of crypto-fascists & Nazis in the Rite of Memphis-Misraim; Were the Illuminati Revivals in Germany, France, & Britain somehow a microcosm of int'l relations at the time?... & ...What does their history say about the role that secret societies played in the events leading up to the World Wars (such as Illuminists like Reuss & Crowley getting involved in all manner of spying)?; Koop's insight about how the Sabbatean & Frankist heresies & their offshoots played an integral role in teaching Cabala to these gentile secret societies; the implications of these antisemitic Jewish heresies so fundamentally influencing Z***ism of both the Christian & Jewish varieties; which we have to bring back to Erik Jan Hanussen, of course, in light of his apparent Sabbatean lineage, which inevitably forces us to return to the long & sordid entanglement of secret societies & sexual blackmail; EJH as blueprint & precursor of future Mossad sexual blackmail entrapment schemes a la Epstein; Moses Dobruschka's pseudonyms & the Asiatic Brethren's mandate of bringing Jews & Christians together through mutual sin (transgressive rituals alert!); Jewish assimilation into gentile society; a last assertion from Koopa that the secret religion of the elites is largely gnostic in character; a degree in the Illuminati based off of a gnostic heresy; and finally, the eternal conundrum: how much of this is us ascribing meaning to nonstop secret society syncretism and how much of it is bona fide secret history?; plus a ton more.

Also consider giving Lord OLO's album "Al Chimera" a listen, which features Koop's transmutational production. You can find it at underworlddustfunk.bandcamp.com.  We're shedding light on an until-now veiled era of Illuminati history that will reshape our entire understanding of the infamous & mythic order and the raft of associated conspiracy theories... We begin w/ the Bavarian Order's origins, Adam Weishaupt, & the assertion of Rosicrucian & Masonic author Alistair Lees' that Thomas Jefferson was in fact initiated into the society of illuminists via Edmund Burke. From there, we trace Skull & Bones' lineage back to the Illuminati via this earlier Phi Beta Kappa society at William & Mary, which will have major implications on our discussion of the British & Germanic revivals of the Illuminati in the fin de siècle / turn-of-the-century. To sum, this 2 parter is largely an exercise in demonstrating how basically every occult order & secret society in the early 20th century can be both mapped & connected by said British & German Illuminati revivals. I may return w/ an even more forensic set of notes, but here are some of the major figures, orders, & topics that we tether together in this investigation rooted in brand new, cutting edge evidence sourced from the archives of the Christian Masonic "Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia": The initiatic succession of Illuminati-paranoia in hip hop; Skull & Bones; Ezra Stiles—alchemist, cabalist, & Yale President; the Bushes; Howard Taft; Gog & Magog and their commingling sex magical & apocalyptic symbolism for Bonesmen; the fact that Bonesman Howard Taft's ancestor Patricia recently published an op-ed running interference for the Z**nist project w/ a weird racial bent to it; Sabbatai Zevi; Sabbateans & Frankists; cabala-influenced Yale societies; the history of the Illuminati from seemingly anti-monarchical to capitalist-reifying holding pattern; some wonderments re the ongoing genocide & the apocalyptic & cabalistic symbolism of the Oct. 7th "attack"; pansophism; colonial Christian cabalists like John Winthrop the Younger, Daniel Leeds, & the Mathers;... Bringing it up to the Illuminati revival, we discuss: how Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, theosophist, & Freemason William Wynn Westcott was initiated into a revived Illuminati via Theodore Reuss, the German spy & infiltrator of Marxist movements; along the way, we learn about a number of recognizable figures from past EPs who were either initiates of Illuminati revivals or else tangentially connected... we're talking Papus; John Yarker; Aleister Crowley; JFC Boney Fuller; the OTO; the Rite of Memphis-Misraim (which was indelibly connected w/ the Illuminati & shared numerous overlaps); Rudolf Steiner; proto-Nazi spy & Thule Society founder Baron von Sebbotendorf; Nazi Navy intel officer & Rosicrucian Arnold Krumm-Heller; our old snake-oily ad man buddy from AMORC & likely German asset Harvey Spencer Lewis (plus Lt. Col. Aquino's claims that AMORC was descended from the OTO via Reuss's authority, meaning there's an Illuminati connection there, too); the draft dodging DA raid; Garibaldi; Cagliostro; Cagliostro's master Jacob Falk aka Doctor Falckon—an alchemist, Baal Shem, & Frankist rabbi, which brings us back to Z**nism's roots in these Jewish esoteric societies connected to the Illuminati; & much much more. It's really one for the ages, folks. Songs: | Goodie Mob - "Cell Therapy" | | Big Moochie Grape - "Illuminati Business" | | Ras Kass - "Ordo Abchao" |

I asked him about what brought him to become a freemason, afterwards we discussed life's inherent magic and the operative order of nature. From there Ike described theurgy and its distinction from other forms of magic. Plato and his teachings and their influence took the next phase of conversation and from there I asked Ike how Modern schools would be judged by Plato if he were alive today. Ike described the ideal state of Plato's academia and the true nature of the mystery schools that are often discussed in psychedelic circles. Next we discuss Kundalini Energy, Spontaneous Combustion, Entities, Archangels, Daimons, Demons, and the value of an initiatory path within an organization comprising of trained individuals is an essential step toward truly grasping the hermetic and esoteric knowledge that has been maintained within secret societies for thousands of years.
