This documentary examines the life and teachings of Manly P. Hall, the most significant philosophical teacher of the 20th century and the most underrated historical figure of modern times. Hall was a philosophic scholar and lecturer who emerged almost fully-formed as a Plato-like sage in Los Angeles in the early 1920s. Still, it defies explanation how published perhaps the greatest work of philosophical scholarship in modern history, The Secret Teachings of All Ages (1928), at the ripe young age of 27. There was something more to the man than him being merely a prodigy or genius - an Inner Light shone brightly out through him, and it was this Inner Light that gave Manly Hall his unmistakable greatness. In this documentary by philosopher Alexander Sachon, author of “Manly P. Hall: The Maestro of Esoteric Philosophy” (2023), the viewer tracks Hall's rise as a teacher, while also examining the central ideas at the heart of the system of philosophy he taught with unvarying precision over his lengthy 70-year career. The video also explores Hall's deep connection to the institution of the Mystery Schools, as well as to the Scottish Rite branch of Freemasonry. Most importantly, it features over 30-minutes of rare archival footage of Hall lecturing during the last year or so of his life. In this footage, Hall lays out his conclusions about what the essential meaning of Life is and what mankind's place in the Universe ultimately amounts to. Whether you're new to esoteric philosophy or a longtime student of Manly Hall's work, this deep dive into the life of the Maestro is essential viewing.

This episode's guest is the musician and author Gary Lachman. That is a vast understatement for someone who has been inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of Blondie and, has, in a separate career, published over 25+ books on consciousness, the occult and the western esoteric traditions.I first approached Gary to discuss his book Dreaming Ahead of Time, a work that has had a profound impact on me, in both my waking and dreaming life.In the time between that first request and our interview, the focus shifted.If you're a regular listener of this podcast, you might have noticed that the city of Los Angeles, my adopted home, its people, and its stories have been surfacing throughout these most recent episodes — specifically the episodes with Ronnie Pontiac and Edward O.One of the places that has stepped into view is the Bodhi Tree, a metaphysical bookstore that was a hub for the New Age movement in Los Angeles from its opening in 1970 to its closure in 2012— its legacy still reverberates through many great thinkers of this city.For years, Gary was at the center of this scene. He talks about his time at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in his memoir, Touched by the Presence.This was the spark for our discussion — but, as conversations do, this one took on a life of its own.Support the Podcast & Learn Astrology!Ready to take a deep dive into astrology?

Author and musician Ronnie Pontiac joins me to talk about the seven years he and his wife, Tamra Lucid, spent working under Manly P. Hall at the Philosophical Research Society — the Los Feliz institution that's now home to my monthly Los Angeles Astrology Salon.Tamra's 2021 memoir, Making the Ordinary Extraordinary: My Seven Years in Occult Los Angeles with Manly Palmer Hall, runs throughout our conversation.Content warning: sexual assault and extreme violence come up in this talk.A note: Ronnie and I had spoken before recording, so when my questions sound abrupt, I'm often calling back to an earlier conversation.

This Sunday we welcome Ronnie Pontiac — author, researcher, and former assistant to Manly P. Hall — to explore the hidden history behind his latest book, The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society. We trace the strange saga of Rosicrucianism from 17th‑century Germany to the courts of Rudolf II, through Descartes, Fludd, Dee, Ashmole, and the alchemist‑pirate Prince Rupert. We follow its underground influence on the English Revolution, early America, and even modern psychedelic and pop‑culture movements. What was the Invisible Society? Who shaped it? And why does its influence still echo today? A deep dive into esoteric history, hidden networks, and the counterculture that never really disappeared.

Ronnie Pontiac rejoins the Virtual Alexandria, this time to discuss The Unobstructed Way: A True Account of the Exploration of Life After Death. He coauthored this work with his wife, the dearly departed and eternally missed Tamra Lucid. Explore the fascinating history of a 20th-century metaphysical experiment that attempted to map the frontiers of life after death through refined mediumship. These findings were so compelling that CG Jung recommended them as an essential study for the psychology of the unconscious, even privately admitting that he was inclined to believe the spirit communications were genuine. We'll examine a unique philosophy that views our physical existence as a restricted state of consciousness compared to a vibrant reality of pure frequency and light. Get ready to dive into practical exercises designed to bridge the psychological gap between our material world and the eternal nature of the soul.

In this episode, I sit down with researcher, writer, and longtime esoteric insider... Ronnie Pontiac. We explore his latest book, 'The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society'. We journey into the hidden current of Rosicrucianism flowing through the early modern world, examining how this mysterious “invisible society” shaped the lives and ideas of figures like John Dee, Robert Fludd, René Descartes, Elias Ashmole, and many others. Ronnie reveals how the esoteric court of Rudolf II became a crucible for magic, science, and prophecy, and how the ambitions of Frederick and Elizabeth helped spark the Thirty Years' War through a strange fusion of politics and occult vision. He also discusses how the Rosicrucians can be seen as the original counterculture, rooted in the Orphic traditions of ancient Greece and influencing generations of seekers, mystics, and visionaries ever since. As the episode continues, we explore the roots of the many expressions of the Rosicrucian energy, throughout various forms and times.We also dive into Ronnie's personal experiences studying with Manly P. Hall, including some remarkable insights he received about what he calls the Rosicrucian frequency and how these teachings operate as a living stream of consciousness rather than just a historical movement. Ronnie makes the case that Rosicrucianism was not merely a secret society but a transformative worldview that helped catalyze the shift from medieval consciousness into the modern age.From there, we explore how these underground ideas continue to echo today, shaping modern occult revivalism, pop culture symbolism, and even the psychedelic counterculture's ongoing quest for hidden knowledge and inner transformation. Drawing on his years working alongside Manly P. Hall, Ronnie offers a rare insider perspective on the enduring legacy of esoteric philosophy and the provocative question of whether invisible societies still help guide the evolution of human consciousness from behind the veil.Ronnie Pontiac Bio:Ronnie Pontiac worked as Manly P.

It's always an honor to chat with Ronnie Pontiac when he arrives at the Virtual Alexandria. He'll discuss his new book, The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society. We'll uncover the secretive origins and widespread legacy of an invisible society that first surfaced within the occult-heavy court of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. We examine the significant impact of figures such as John Dee and Robert Fludd, assessing how their visions of universal reformation influenced the English Revolution and the eventual establishment of the American colonies. Finally, we examine how this “phoenix of counterculture” persists today, informing everything from the foundations of early science to the current psychedelic movement.

In this book, Ronnie Pontiac shows how Rosicrucianism's underground influence in the early-modern period continues to the present, providing the important historical context of this invisible society.Pontiac looks at the esoteric culture around Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II and his court, including figures like John Dee, Tycho Brahe, and Rabbi Loew, the legendary creator of the Golem of Prague. Despite occultists' fascination with Rudolf 's successors, Frederick and Elizabeth, at the start of the Thirty Years' War—and Rosicrucian efforts to make Frederick the first Protestant Holy Roman Emperor—the esoteric renaissance in Bohemia was short-lived. However, this wasn't the end of Rosicrucianism.Pontiac explores the movement's impact on Oliver Cromwell and the English Revolution as well as individuals such as Robert Fludd, René Descartes, Elias Ashmole, Moritz the Learned, Paracelsus, and William Shakespeare. He then details the movement's arrival in the New World, including the Rosicrucian activities of Connecticut's alchemist governor, John Winthrop the Younger. Looking to the present, Pontiac shows how both pop culture and the modern psychedelic counterculture are informed by Rosicrucian ideas, showing the enduring legacy of this esoteric movement.Ronnie Pontiac worked as Manly P.

Rosicrucian Origins with Ronnie Pontiac Ronnie Pontiac was the personal research assistant for Manly P. Hall at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles. He is author of American Metaphysical Religion: Esoteric and Mystical Traditions of the New World. He is coauthor with Tamra Lucid of The Magic of the Orphic Hymns: A New Translation for the Modern Mystic. He explores the true origins of Rosicrucianism, arguing that the famous manifestos were a radical literary and cultural intervention rather than an ancient secret order. Pontiac situates their emergence within the religious, political, and intellectual upheavals of 17th-century Europe, particularly during the Thirty Years' War. Ronnie reframes Rosicrucianism as a decentralized countercultural movement that spread ideas through symbolism, imagination, and culture rather than hierarchy or initiation. 00:00:01 Introduction: Rosicrucian origins and misconceptions 00:09:38 Religious conflict and the Holy Roman Empire 00:18:20 Emperor Rudolph II and hermetic culture 00:28:22 The Rosicrucian manifestos and public reaction 00:38:33 Alchemical marriage and political mythology 00:47:56 Defeat of Bohemia and shattered hopes 00:56:10 Counterculture and horizontal transmission 01:05:48 The dangers of intellectual hierarchy 01:14:21 Living Rosicrucian principles in practice 01:28:49 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

Dear Friend, In this powerful and far-reaching episode of Gateways to Awakening, Yasmeen Turayhi sits down with writer, historian, musician, and esoteric scholar Ronnie Pontiac, one of the most important living voices on Western mysticism and hidden spiritual lineages.Ronnie's life was shaped by decades of work at the crossroads of hermeticism, occult philosophy, Rosicrucianism, and alternative American history. From 1981–1987, he served as research assistant and designated substitute lecturer to the legendary teacher Manly P. Hall, gaining unparalleled firsthand access to the inner currents of Western esoteric thought.  We explore his latest book, The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society.  We explore the Invisible Schools, illuminating the mysterious lineage that has quietly shaped philosophy, science, art, politics, and spirituality for centuries.“The universal reformation begins with personal reformation. You cannot transform a society if you have not already transformed within yourself.”— Ronnie PontiacTogether, Yasmeen and Ronnie explore:• The hidden metaphysical roots of America and why much of U.S. history has been misunderstood, and how esoteric currents quietly shaped early American philosophy, science, and political life.• Rosicrucianism beyond the myth - Who the Rosicrucians truly were, why their manifestos electrified Europe, and how their vision of a “universal reformation” still echoes today.• The alchemical process of inner transformation, a rare, grounded look at how real alchemy was practiced and what its steps mean for modern seekers.• The Hermetica, ancient Egypt, and the metaphysical revival - Why astrology, sacred geometry, and ancient esoteric philosophy are resurging today • The battle between America's spiritual openness and its shadow - A candid exploration of Christian nationalism, pluralism, and the long-forgotten mystical side of America's origins.• A profound personal story of grief, love, and spiritual revelationRonnie shares the moving, intimate account of losing his wife and lifelong creative partner and the extraordinary experiences that unfolded afterward, reshaping his understanding of consciousness, death, and the continuity of the soul.Tune in to Gateways to Awakening for more conversations with leading thinkers, creators, and spiritual pioneers shaping the future of consciousness.

In honor of the passing of Tamra Lucid, we release her podcast which originally aired in 2021.   Enjoy this wonderful soul:-) "Tamra Lucid is a founding member of the experimental rock band Lucid Nation.  She was a writer and editor for Newtopia Magazine and the principal interviewer for the original Reality Sandwich.  She has produced documentary films including:  Exile Nation: The Plastic People, End of the Line:  The Women of Standing Rock, and the award winning Cuba Libre:  Rap is War.  She lived in Los Angeles with her husband, the musician and writer Ronnie Pontiac." In the 2021 episode, we focused on her book Making the Ordinary Extraordinary:  My Seven Years in Occult Los Angeles with Manley Palmer Hall, which Mitch Horowitz called "A compelling written portrait of a life of one of the most significant occult voices of the last century."

Welcome back to Black Hoodie Alchemy, folks! My head was jumbled, my body was in a lot of pain, and I wasn't really sure what my next move was after this near-death experience at the beginning of the year -- so I took a bit of a longer, unexpected, and unannounced break. Some of it was out of frustration, a lot of it was out of total exhaustion, and even more of it was rooted in a level of surrender and acceptance. Some real serenity prayer sort of stuff on a very Jungian level, but it was all worth it. I'm feeling pretty damn solid now. Joe Rupe, host of Lighting the Void helps me get into all this, unpacking some of his mental health experiences and some of my recent ones, along with analyzing mental in the fringe spiritual, new age, conspiracy theory and fortean communities. People are always getting into these head-spaces and schools-of-thought for one reason or another, yet so many of them fail to ask themselves what these ideas and beliefs do for them on a daily practical level. People analyzing "real" alien species on internet forums, reading the "latest leaks" from Q, or trying to hex their neighbors are likely not considering the fundamental idea: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Because of this, their mental health usually suffers on a noticeable level. But beyond this, we get deeper into Jungian psychology and the relationship between our inner child and the archetypes of the Great Mother and Father, i.e. the Yin and Yang, et cetera. It's a heavy episode but in many ways it's a celebratory return with great music, some fun shout outs and an awesome guest! Thanks for tuning in, folks -- there's a lot more to come. I'm feeling better than I have all year and we hope you dig the listen.my links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DIVE MANUAL AUDIOBOOK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (narrated by Joe Rupe)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HUNT MANUAL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BHA LINKTREE w books, shorts, and much more⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOE RUPE'S LIGHTING THE VOIDmy convo with Joe about Hermeticismmy convo with Ronnie Pontiac about alchemy and Manly Hallmy convo with Leticia Martinez about alchemy and medicinemy convo with AP Strange about unexplainable phenomena & mental healthSHOUT OUTS:Farewell, My Heartfind Farewell on instaSeedperson's new instaAlex Arck on instaPatrick's Southern Paranormal World youtube videos (i swear these are quiet noises and not jumpscares):Start listening around 11:35 with headphones and wait for itStart at around 1:45 with headphones and listen carefullyThis week's featured music -- some of the heaviest hitters that the underground has to offer!

My guest this episode is writer, scholar, teacher, and astrologer, RONNIE PONTIAC. I've been impressed and informed by Ronnie's esoteric work for awhile now, and finally, we got to have our first conversation. And it's a profound one...We talk about the need for a spiritual path in our moment, and how the alternative is... well, quite grim. We talk about how spirituality can lead us into a path of hatred and personal gain. We talk about my suspicion about astrology, how I think it works, how I think it does't work, why so much of it is wrong (and why Ronnie is so often right!). And there's so much more on this episode (Including my extended intro on the esoteric aim of being a Friend To Humanity.)Ronnie was a key figure at the Philosophical Research Society founded in 1934 by Manly Palmer Hall. The PRS is still around, and promotes, teaches, and offers research opportunities into the esoteric & philosophical of all societies; with the values of freedom, community, objective study, and inclusiveness at its core. He's the author most recently of American Metaphysical Religion: Esoteric and Mystical Traditions of the New World. His forthcoming book, which can preorder now, is The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society.

This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, my cohort Seedperson1 and I build off of the discussions we've had in the last two episodes (shoutout to Chris Fiato!) as we dive into the history of modern parapsychology. What did these diligent scientists -- funded by the prestigious Duke University -- find out about extra-sensory perception over their decades of study? Get your inner X-Man on this episode as we talk about people being tested in labs for telepathy, clairvoyance, remote viewing, telekinesis, and more! We also try and understand the distinctions between what one might call ESP and what one might call "mysticism" or "spiritualism" involving trance states. It's a bit of psychology, statistics, sociology, pharmacology, chaos theory, maybe some quantum theory, a lot of Jungian and Hermetic sentiments, and so much more coming together this week as we dive down this historical rabbit-hole and sink our teeth into the meat of the data.

Recaptures the magical vitality of the original Orphic Hymns• Presents literary translations of the teletai that restore important esoteric details and correspondences about the being or deity to which each hymn is addressed• Includes messages inscribed on golden leaves meant to be passports for the dead as well as a reinvention of a lost hymn to Number that preserves the original mystical intent of the teletai• Explores the obscure origins and the evolution of the Orpheus myth, revealing a profound influence on countercultures throughout Western historyAs famous Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino wrote, “No magic is more powerful than that of the Orphic Hymns.” These legendary teletai of Orpheus were not simply “hymns”—they were initiatic poems for meditation and ritual, magical, and ceremonial use, each one addressed to a specific deity, such as Athena or Zeus, or a virtue, such as Love, Justice, and Equality. Yet despite the mystical concepts underlying them, the original hymns were formulaic, creating an obstacle for translators.Recapturing the magical vitality that inspired mystery cults through the ages, Tamra Lucid and Ronnie Pontiac present new versions of the teletai that include important esoteric details and correspondences about the being or deity to which each hymn is addressed. The authors also include a new version of a lost hymn called “Number” and messages that were inscribed on golden leaves meant to be passports for the dead, reinventions that preserve the original magical intent and mysticism of the teletai. Revealing the power of the individual hymns to attune the reader to the sacred presence of the Orphic Mysteries and the higher order of nature, the authors also show how, taken together, the Orphic Hymns are a book of hours or a calendar of life, addressing every event, from birth to death, and walking us through all the experiences of human existence as necessary and holy.Tamra Lucid, a documentary film producer, including the Emmy-nominated End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock, is author of Making the Ordinary Extraordinary: My Seven Years in Occult Los Angeles with Manly Palmer Hall. She and Ronnie are founding members of the experimental rock band Lucid Nation. Ronnie Pontiac worked as Manly P. Hall's research assistant, screener, and designated substitute lecturer for seven years. Author of American Metaphysical Religion, he wrote the biographical introduction to Letters to the Sage. He's written for several esoteric journals and has produced award-winning documentaries.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/2790919/advertisement

Move over Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Hatshepsut. The Goddess of the Seven Stars has been recovered. We explore the incredible rule of Sobekneferu, a woman who shaped and even saved ancient Egypt (and perhaps Western civilization itself). From her magic to her cultural achievements, our quest will detail intense political intrigue and an understanding of primordial deities like Sobek, Sekhmet, and Neith. What ultimately happened to this early pharaoh, and why has orthodox history worked so hard to erase her? Well, almost all of history, as occultism has sought her forbidden legacy for centuries, including Bram Stoker and Kenneth Anger.Astral Guest – Andrew Collins, author of The First Female Pharaoh: Sobekneferu, Goddess of the Seven Stars.Join the Virtual Alexandria AcademyStream Meet The ArchonsThis is a partial show.
