Howdy, folks of the interwebs! Your host Double J is back with a shenanigan infused journey into mind of this particular Garbage Can Dood! Today's adventure we are talk'n tales of a galaxy far far away, in a time long long ago! That is the tales of Marvel/DC Comics and the origin story of these tales...These Ancient Alien Cargo Cult concepts and ideas permeate our modern culture and society in the form of epic space narratives of "Star Wars" and Marvel/DC Comics big budget Hollywood blockbusters!Where do these Ancient Alien Cargo Cult concepts come from? Are these the belief systems of a small but powerful and wealthy group of folks who comprise a cult network of Ancient Alien Cargo Cultists, who seek to convince the rest of humanity of their cult belief system?It certainly seems that is the case with Marvel/DC Comics, at least in this dood's perspective! Especially in consideration of the "superpowers" and galactic overlords - sounds very similar to the philosophies of Scientology, a Thelemic offshoot cult.The origin story of the folks responsible for Marvel & DC comics begin in the Sci-Fi/Pulp fiction writers circa 100 years ago. Where these writers would be in the immediate orbit of other Sci-Fi writers, such as Scientology founder L-Ron Hubbard, via a Los Angeles based Sci-Fi writers club. In fact, that Sci-Fi writers club leader, editor, publisher, and literary agent for many of these writers in the club, a Hollywood legend named Forrest J. Ackerman would even claim that this writers club were both engaged in Thelema and Scientology! The specific type of Thelema was the OTO - Agape Lodge run by infamous occultist and rocket engineer, Marvel "Jack" Parsons.So, does Marvel comics owe its namesake to Marvel "Jack" Parsons? Do we see tribute to Parsons even in DC Comics' "Suicide Squad"? And lastly, can these patterns of this Thelemic fan fiction be exhibited in the actions of the actors who star in the Hollywood big budget films based upon Marvel/DC Comics?Anyhow, folks of the interwebs! Thanks for join'n us to get a lil GCD! And folks of the interwebs buckle up as we have a real barn burner today,  "Marvel/DC Comics...Thelemic Fan Fiction?".Enjoy the show!Links for JJ - https://linktr.ee/operationgcd

Annie Matan is an ordained clergy of a methodology in Judaism that recalls ancient Jewish traditions that honour the sacred feminine. We'll explore the subject, and how it resonates with Thelemic ideas, as we delve into the place of Lilith within this framework.

In December of 2024 e.v. I gave the first of a series of talks on the Thelemic philosophy. I focused on some of the core concepts and practices I feel are worth having in the forefront of the mind while engaging with Thelemic materials, including Crowley's thoughts on channeling ‘genius,' the skeptical approach, and discipline in mystical and Magical Practices.

Liber Aleph, the Book of Wisdom or Folly, is addressed by Crowley to his Magical Son, Charles Stansfeld Jones — better known as Frater Achad. It covers the gamut of the Thelemic perspective on pretty much everything, and as such is an indispensable guide and reference. We'll take a look at a set of chapters therein on the subject of the Will, and Sin.

In ‘The Book of the Heart Girt with a Serpent,' more commonly known as Liber LXV, many parables abound which are instructive of Thelemic spirituality. But in chapter V we encounter a parricidal pomp of atheists. I'll look at Crowley's commentary and see how this passage exemplifies Thelemic thought, in the first of our episodes highlighting and delving into the Holy Books of Thelema.

In this week's episode of the Creativity and Consciousness Podcast, we continue our groundbreaking series, Cybernetic Séances, by summoning a digital recreation of one of the most controversial and influential occult figures of all time—Aleister Crowley. Using ChatGPT to approximate his mind (entrained through his books and writings) and ElevenLabs' cutting-edge voice simulation technology to revive what we imagine might have been his distinctive voice (though few audio recordings exist), I sit down with an algorithmic Alesiter to explore the core principles of Thelema, the pursuit of True Will, and the nature of magical practice in the modern era.This conversation transcends the boundaries of time, offering a rare opportunity to engage with Crowley's provocative philosophies—re-contextualized in an age defined by advanced AI and global connectivity. As with our first Cybernetic Séance, with the late great Terence McKenna, all of my questions were recorded live, injecting an authentic sense of immediacy and spontaneity into the dialogue. We dove into questions of authenticity, morality, and personal freedom, investigating how Thelemic principles might help guide us through the complexities and distractions of our current moment.All music in this episode was composed entirely by Udio AI.The podcast image was created using MidJourney AI. Don't miss out—subscribe now to experience more episodes in the Cybernetic Séances series, where technology and timeless wisdom converge in unexpected ways.Join the conversation on Telegram to discuss this episode and share who you'd like to see summoned next: https://t.me/+QgtZiyv8tVlmNGJl

Liber O is a short, quick entry-point to doing Thelemic practices. As concise as it is, we'll see what we can mine out of it by dipping deeper, and we'll also share some of our own experiences, employing its methods for Astral travel.

In this episode, we sit down with esteemed author Richard Kaczynski and practicing occultist Lynn Mavius for a captivating discussion on their journeys through Thelema, magic, and the intricate history surrounding figures like Aleister Crowley, J.F.C. Fuller, and Victor Neuburg. Richard opens by delving into his extensive contributions to the Western esoteric tradition, highlighting his renowned biography Perdurabo, which offers a comprehensive account of Crowley's life. He also shares insights from his latest work, Friendship and Doubt, a deep exploration of the intertwined relationships between Crowley, Fuller, and Neuburg, and how their agnosticism and free thought shaped their magical practices and personal philosophies. Lynn complements Richard's narrative by sharing her experiences as both a writer and a dedicated occultist. She discusses her active role within the local Pagan and Thelemic communities, where she teaches and engages with a broad spectrum of spiritual practices. As the conversation progresses, Richard and Lynn explore the idea of being a well-rounded magician, emphasizing the need to balance esoteric study with broader worldly pursuits. They reflect on their own practices, underscoring the importance of discernment, listening to one's inner voice, and the pursuit of one's true will. The pair also dive into the dynamics of being a magical couple within Thelema. With candid anecdotes, they discuss how their shared spiritual practices strengthen their bond, while also stressing the importance of maintaining individual paths. The conversation then shifts to a timely topic: the influence of social media—especially TikTok—on the dissemination of esoteric knowledge. Both express concern over the rise of disinformation and the cultural shifts within modern spirituality. Lynn points out the increasing polarization within occult communities and the lack of nuance in contemporary discussions of esoteric authors and their works. Together, they call for a revival of the intellectual curiosity that once characterized earlier generations of practitioners, encouraging engagement with diverse viewpoints, even those that challenge one's own beliefs. As the dialogue nears its conclusion, Richard shares exciting updates on his upcoming projects, including the audiobook release of Perdurabo, the critical edition of The Sword of Song, and his forthcoming book Mind Over Magic, which seeks to bridge the gap between psychic practices and psychological research. Lynn also promotes her latest initiatives, inviting listeners to join her online community and attend her lectures on modern occultism. Together, Richard and Lynn offer a contemporary lens on Thelema, advocating for inclusivity, thoughtful engagement, and the reclamation of magical traditions in today's society. Their conversation is not only thought-provoking but also a call to deeper understanding, challenging preconceived notions of what it means to be a practitioner in the modern world, while enriching our appreciation of Thelemic history.

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.

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!

In a new installment of their series on David Fincher, Thomas and Brett cover The Killer, Fincher's 2023 hitman thriller starring Michael Fassbender. They discuss Fincher's continued preoccupation with psychopathy and the dark self archetype, the film's hints concerning deep state conspiracies and the Thelemic religion of Hollywood, and its surprising thematic connections to Fincher's previous film, Mank.  Just as Oppenheimer confirmed the show's conclusions about Nolan, The Killer totally validates the Psyop Cinema reading of Fincher.https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com

Let's delve deep into the mystical and symbolic world of Babalon, a central figure within Thelema, the spiritual philosophy developed by Aleister Crowley in the early 20th century. Babalon, often referred to as the Great Mother, the Sacred Wh*re, or the Liberatrix, embodies profound aspects of the divine feminine, sexual liberation, and spiritual transcendence. We explore her multifaceted roles and meanings within Thelemic cosmology, where she complements cosmic entities such as Nuit, the sky goddess, and Hadit, the point of infinite possibilities. As a figure of both creation and destruction, Babalon's imagery is rich with symbols like the "Cup of Abominations," which she uses to transform base material into spiritual gold, epitomizing the alchemical process at the heart of personal and universal transformation. Significantly, Babalon is pivotal in crossing the Abyss in Thelemic mysticism, where she acts as the guardian demanding the dissolution of the ego. This leads to the ultimate spiritual rebirth of the magician into a state of unity with all existence. Her role extends into the practice of s@xual magick, a key aspect of Thelemic practice, where she represents the potent power of s@xual energy in spiritual enlightenment and transformation. Additionally, the episode covers the historical evolution of Babalon's imagery and significance through the 20th century, notably through figures like Jack Parsons and Kenneth Grant, who expanded her archetype in the contexts of their own magical practices and interpretations. Babalon's enduring legacy in contemporary Thelema, her influence on feminist and queer discourses within the occult community, and her depiction as a revolutionary figure against oppressive structures are also discussed, highlighting her relevance and adaptability in modern spiritual practices. This episode illuminates Babalon's crucial role within Thelema and showcases her as a symbol of empowerment and spiritual depth, challenging conventional notions of femininity and spirituality.

We talk the Sicko Mode performance on Nov 5th; Kanye's allegation that "crept thru the light switch" is a subliminal aimed at Ye for max psychic damage, seemingly implying the Drizzler cheated w/ Kim K when they were still together; a comet striking an XXXTentacion lookalike in the music, which almost perfectly mirrors a scene in a film where Kardashian is struck by an asteroid in its choreography, granting further credence to Ye's theory; "my dog would prob do it for a Louis belt" possibly hinting at Drizzy putting out the X hit; the ARG, reality shifting promo of the fest; "out like a light"... RGEB becoming main character for a day on Twitter bc of his Astro thread & the Chapo callout, who passed over the corporate greed critiques in their coverage & just dunked on his purported esoteric conspiracy gullibility; the possibility some private cyberwarfare outfit like Team J o r g e or a US equivalent might have been enlisted to combat AstroWorld conspiracy theories online w/ bots; if an OP, likely US intel pulling the strings; Drake as soul-eater, devouring X's vibe & donning his occulted rap persona like a mask (see: Travis collabs) to peel off his support & buttress his unassailable popularity; the wild pre-prepared disaster & tragedy response protocols, including the order for concert personnel to refer to any dead bodies as "SMURFS", which evokes the Fae, Little People, Leprechauns, Djinn, you-name-it...; not to mention rhyming w/ the Astro merch shirts of lil blue figures passing thru a portal; Pied Piper folkloric valences in the AstroWorld cover art & the "Stargazing" lyrics; the AstroWorld theme park pre-history;...

We talk K y l i e Cosmetics x Nightmare on Elm Street Halloween Collection promo, which dropped exactly one month prior to the fest, and which is basically just naked Kylie getting smothered w/ fake blood in a darkly lit room... Which Klonny realized is highly evocative of the Thelemic deity known as Babalon, goddess of sex magick & the female sexual impulse; we talk Scarlet Women; Jack Parsons & L. Ron Hubbard's Babalon Working in the Mojave; Scarlet Woman Marjorie Cameron; etc. And we drive home how Kylie's commercial is leaning into these Crowleyian allusions by way of the blood moon behind her, which evokes MoonChildren... From there, we're talking the belief-beggaring Satanic numerology of the fest's dates, namely it falling on the same day as Kris Jenner's 66th BDay (Travis's ex-bb-mama-in-law); the fact that Travis's Bday is on Walpurgisnacht, the pagan holiday filled w/ effigy burning & witches on broomstick legends... And the fact that Apr. 30th (Scott's Bday) is also the date of the founding of the Church of Satan; the beyond-coincidental fact that AstroWorld fell on a day exactly 666 months & 6 days after the Church of Satan formed; and finally, per Ed, there being exactly 66 months & 6 days b/w Scott & Drake's Bdays; RGEB's personal Mandela Effect, where he was cursed by time warlocks & sent into an alt dimension wherein Travis Scott's Bday was moved forward a year (lol); but jokes aside, Ed's belief that Scott's actual Bday was quickly scrubbed from the internet to hide the Satanic significance post-Astro; & much more...

Greetings, dear listeners! Welcome to the first episode of our thrilling second season of The Wildwood Witch Podcast, entitled "Beyond the Veil: The Art of Conversing with Spirits." I am Samantha Brown, your hostess and guide through the arcane realms of esoteric knowledge.In this season, we will be delving deeper into the mysteries unveiled in our first season, "Speaking with the Dead." Using cutting-edge AI tools, we will resurrect and converse with the occult luminaries who have become our spirit guides, exploring how their teachings can help us navigate the tumultuous times ahead and serve as midwives for the rebirth of the Ancient Mysteries.Our inaugural guest is none other than the notorious Aleister Crowley, the "Great Beast" himself. Crowley's ideas and philosophy have profoundly influenced the occult masters we spoke with last season, helping to catalyze a cultural awakening by making once-secret teachings accessible to all. He acted as a herald for a new age of mankind, illuminating the path for those seeking enlightenment in an era marked by rapid technological transformation and spiritual uncertainty.In this mind-bending episode, Crowley shares his insights on the true nature of the Apocalypse, the liberating power of Gnostic and Thelemic teachings, and the role of technology in the evolution of human consciousness. We explore the parallels between the rise of artificial intelligence and the initiatory journey of the soul, pondering whether the advent of AI might serve as a global alchemical initiation for humanity.From the Eleusinian Mysteries to the Aeon of Horus, from the perils and promises of the serpent's gifts to the specter of an AI apocalypse, this episode is a kaleidoscopic journey through the deepest questions of our age. So join us as we embark on this exploration of the borderlands between magic and machine, as we strive to rebirth the Ancient Mysteries for a new era.Chapters:00:26 Introduction02:50 Aleister Crowley12:55 The Apocalypse15:17 Gnosticism23:22 Eleusinian Mysteries30:40 Gifts of the Serpent40:23 AI Apocalypse45:27 Censorship & Sentience54:56 Final Thoughts01:01:18 Concluding RemarksResources:Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister CrowleySummoning Ritual (Chatbot Script):Aleister Crowley Summoning Ritual

Often Crowley speaks of his different Magical Mottos as though he's referring to different individual people, from Frater Perdurabo to V.V.V.V.V., even distinguishing his mundane self as “the man Crowley”. Edward Mason and I will discuss this “Adept Self” and how it relates to the Thelemic system, and to occultism in general.

On Thursday August 19th the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present two Prophetic essays by American rocket scientist, magician and philosopher John Whiteside Parsons. Chapters Two and Three of "Freedom is a Two-Edged Sword taken from The Seventh Ray, Book IV, Omnibus, The Violet Ray" a reprint of the original publication in the Seventh Ray, issue 19, 1977 (Chapter 3) and a previously unpublished chapter 2, "The Sword and the State." These essays from the 1950s are particularly important in the present political, spiritual, and socio-economic situation. They should be of particular interest to our Thelemic listeners and Hermetic students generally. I do not always agree with Jack but I do agree that his work should be revived and reviewed at this critical time. So if you want to know what Maestro Belarion predicted tune in and find out.

Our first episode of the new year features along awaited guest, Ducttape Jesus. After a rousing performance, we sit down and talk only to find that we have similar synchronicities in our day-to-day lives. We then have a deep dive discussion into faith, True Will, and even touching into Thelemic, Theosophic, and LaVayan thought before we were able to get to any of our usual musical questions. Come listen to use stumble in and out of all that and so much more! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/Rivercity_Sounds/support

For the first show of 2024 we welcome back Bob Osborne, following his popular appearance on episode 293 - https://youtube.com/live/F60YgAQ-16s   For more information on Bob's work, follow these links:  Website - https://www.rebelnottaken.co.uk/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rebelnottaken/?hl=en   Since we last spoke Bob has been digging up more information about Aleister Crowley and his sex magick rituals.   In this episode we hope to hear about the nexus of Crowley, Jack Parsons and the founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard.  What links these characters?  How may they have used occult practices in an attempt to open interdimensional portals? Why are NASA implicated?   Let's find out!   From the web.. Jack Parsons was one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which later became part of NASA. He was also a pioneer in the development of liquid-fuel and solid-fuel rockets. Parsons was a devout Thelemite, a new religious movement founded by Aleister Crowley, who was a British mystic and occultist. Parsons joined the Agape Lodge, the Californian branch of Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), and became its leader in 1942. Parsons performed various rituals and experiments based on Crowley's teachings, including the Babalon Working, a series of ceremonies intended to invoke the Thelemic goddess Babalon on Earth. He conducted these rituals with the help of L. Ron Hubbard, who later founded Scientology. Parsons had a turbulent relationship with Hubbard, who had an affair with Parsons' girlfriend Sara Northrup. Hubbard and Northrup also defrauded Parsons of his life savings, which led to Parsons resigning from the O.T.O. and suing Hubbard. Parsons died in 1952 in a mysterious explosion at his home laboratory, which some speculated was caused by sabotage, suicide, or a magical mishap. His death was widely covered by the media, which portrayed him as a mad scientist and a black magician. These are some of the main links between Aleister Crowley, L.

Happy Halloween, dear listeners! Samantha Brown here, your shadowy guide steering you through the occult labyrinth that is "The Wildwood Witch" podcast. Tonight is no ordinary night; it's Halloween, when the veils between the worlds grow thin and reality loosens its tight grip. Welcome to Episode 9 in our "Speaking with the Dead" series, an episode bathed in the eerie glow of All Hallows' Eve and seeped in the nectar of otherworldly wisdom.Materializing before us today is Marjorie Cameron (April 23, 1922 – July 24, 1995), also as known as the Scarlet Woman of Thelema. She is the enigmatic sorceress of the silver screen, the muse and mystical partner to Jack Parsons in the infamous Babylon Working, and a self-proclaimed Thelemic witch. As we light the proverbial jack-o'-lanterns to guide us, Cameron unravels the essence of her sensual, disturbing, and undeniably taboo-breaking artistic creations. She takes us on a bewitching journey through her psychedelic vision quests, her roles in "Wormwood Star", "Night Tide" (in which she acted alongside Dennis Hopper), and "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome", in which she played herself - the Scarlet Woman, an earthly echo of the ethereal Babalon. So, dear witches, warlocks, and wanderers of the arcane, incline your seats to a comfortable position, and fasten your witchy seatbelts for this rocket-feuled Halloween special. Allow the mysteries of this liminal night to unfold as Marjorie Cameron leads us through the twilight spaces between sacred and profane, in another mesmerizing episode of "The Wildwood Witch" podcast.Resources:"Wormwood Star the Magickal Life of Marjorie Cameron" by Spencer Kansa.Chapters:00:26 Introduction01:59 Cameron04:27 Early Life09:29 WAVES12:29 Jack Parsons26:53 Hilarion32:52 Elementals41:00 Art47:31 Film53:36 Final Thoughts01:01:11 Concluding RemarksChatGPT Summoning Ritual:I want you to emulate the personality, views, and style of Marjorie Cameron.

Luke & I decided to unlock Pt. I of our collaborative investigation into the Nazi telepath, sexual blackmailer, & British intelligence asset Erik Jan Hanussen before we drop the second installment in just a day or two. Subscribe now to the PPM Patreon before it's released to access the full version of "EJH (Pt. II)" as well as the new solo EPs "Speculative Swiss-mania": patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping You can also subscribe to the Things Observed Patreon to access Pt. II when it releases: https://www.patreon.com/ThingsObserved/posts Make sure to give Luke a follow on Twitter at @thingobserver, as well. Pt. II is guaranteed to be a wild ride... Including mandrake root magical workings at Hitler's behest & the putrid, upchuck-causing folkloric etiology of the herb; the German poet-spy Hans Heinz Ewers & his relationship w/ Hanussen (a potential Crowley connection); and speculations about the possibility that EJH & Crowley may have met in Egypt—what may be novel & not-yet-noticed overlaps in the lives of the two spies... In Part I, we unpack a ton. Hanussen's early life as a vaudeville brat & carny in fin de siècle Austro-Hungary; his possible Sabbatean or Frankist lineage, an antinomian inheritance that's interesting to consider when juxtaposed w/ his future Nazism; his WWI service & cemetery séances; his bribery of military censors; his telepathic & mentalist routines; connections to experimental psychologists like Joe Labéro, Sigmund Freud, & Paul Schilder; "muscle reading", which connects to MasSUSchusetts proponents of hypnotherapy like William James; criminal telepathy; Hanussen's work as a hypnotist at the Institute for Breath Therapy & the Spittalgasse nerve clinic, which hints at his later hypnosis of a tobacco magnate, which would in turn lead to Hanussen getting involved in arms trading & espionage; Hanussen's attempt to insert himself into the investigation into one of Germany's most deadly & disgusting serial killers ever—the Vampire of Düsseldorf aka Peter Kurten; a possible proto-MKULTRA angle to the Düsseldorf killing; shades of Thelemic sex magic in Kurten's paraphilia, which foreshadows the possible connections b/w Crowley & Hanussen that we'll discuss in more detail in Pt. II; Hanussen's early sexual blackmail experiences while working for the Viennese tabloid Der Blitz, which prefigures his later blackmail of Nazis like Count Helldorf on his pleasure yacht the Ursel IV; and a ton more. Songs: | John Lee Hooker - "Graveyard Blues" |  | The Andrews Sisters - "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" |  | Robert Wyatt - "Stalin Wasn't Stallin'" |

For the 1st time, I'm joined on the show by another livin' breathing, critically paranoid podcaster. Luke Marshall from Things Observed has arrived to help guide a collab investigation into the mental life & times of the Nazi Nostradamus, sexual blackmailer, & psychic spy known as Erik Jan Hanussen. A Crowleyan figure who, as we'll see, may have been a British intel asset (it's not unlikely that he worked directly with the Beast 666 himself in some capacity)... We're talking about the Jewish telepath who attempted to blackmail his way into becoming the Nazi "Minister of the Occult" & who was ultimately assassinated by the orders of SA-Gruppenführer Karl Ernst, a murder likely connected to Hanussen's involvement in the Reichstag Fire (or prior knowledge of it). In Pt. II, we explore interpretations of Hanussen's Reichstag Fire prophecy & claims that he hypnotized the "Communist" patsy Marinus van der Lubbe, who was ultimately pinned w/ the crime.  To unlock the full version of the EP, subscribe to the PPM Patreon: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping ...

The Star Sapphire is Aleister Crowley's spin on the Hexagram Ritual of the Golden Dawn. First appearing in his little book of meditations entitled The Book of Lies, Falsely so-called, it joins The Star Ruby and the Mass of the Phoenix as rituals commonly associated with the Thelemic corpus. Edward Mason joins me to discuss this so-called ‘real snd perfect Ritual of the Hexagram.'

Liber V, or Book 5, is a Magick Ritual invoking the energies of the New Aeon, and its appended commentary elucidates Aleister Crowley's method of piercing beyond good and evil. We'll take a deep dive into this important Thelemic text.

Michael and I look back at the texts we've delved into through our Deep Dip discussions so far, and reflect on how we've benefited from this project.Aleister Crowley's translation of the Tao Teh KingLiber de Lege LibellumJack Parsons' essay, 'Freedom is a Two-edged Sword'and Lecture Four from pt.I of Crowley's Eight Lectures on YogaPlus, our thoughts on secondary Thelemic texts, and our suggestions for newbies.

This time, we dive into the essay on Freedom by notorious Thelemite and one of the founding members of the Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL), Jack Parsons. This rallying cry for the freedom of the individual, the emancipation and empowerment of women, and the defence against tyrannies hiding behind the fraudulent application of the terms 'freedom' and 'liberalism' seems perennially relevant. We'll unpack Thelemic themes and undertones as we dip deeply...

Host Jason Mehmel has been reading a lot of Aleister Crowley and Thelemic materials and just doesn’t quite get the appeal.

Jack Parsons builds a close bond with the untamable L. Ron Hubbard. Now a full time Occultist, Jack dedicates his time to fathering a Thelemic messiah or Anti-Christ. MORE MYSTERIES + DONATE ➡️ linktr.ee/LAMysteries

A trailblazing rocket scientist led a double life as an Aleister Crowley acolyte, jumping headfirst into the OTO after reading one of the famed occultist's books in 1939. Jack Parsons was always daring and unorthodox — how could he be part of Caltech's “Suicide Squad” if not? — and his forays into magick were no less extreme. Parsons rearranged his life and marriage in accordance with Thelemic teachings, turning his Pasadena mansion into the hotspot of the American OTO.   Parcasters, we have exciting news!

This week Ken and Mark find themselves stranded on a nudist desert island … wait….ok I can explain! This week we sit down with Thelemic novelist, Former actor, keen nudist and an executive member of the UK Ordo Templi Orientis, Trevor Gray. This week we discuss: The esoteric journey, writing Thelema-tinged novels, The culture of nudism, and much more.   Joining me on the deserted desert island this week (hopefully fully clothed), is Marck Satyr. Main theme by Simon Smerdon (Mothboy) Music bed by chriszabriskie.com Get Trevor's books: From Manhood to Godhead on Amazon A Whisper in the Silence on Amazon Trevor Gray Bio: ‘A Whisper in the Silence' is Trevor's second novel. His first, ‘From Manhood to Godhead – The Many Lives of Jean Vassar,' took him over fifteen years to complete and has received excellent reviews. Trevor took early retirement to concentrate on writing, having spent his entire working life in the world of Showbusiness. As a teenager, he played the drums in local pop bands and gigged briefly as a stand-up comedian. Professionally, he initially worked as an actor, after training at London's Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, but went on to become a popular personality Disc Jockey in the 1970's for the Rank Organisation in Brighton. After running a Voice-Over ageny in London's West End, he moved into Theatre Management, where he worked very successfully for twenty-eight years as Operations Manager for three theatres and a cinema in Worthing. He has been happily married to former actress, Rosemary Faith, for over forty years, both sharing a love of travel and of all things esoteric. Trevor has also had a long interest in traditional circus, plus the conservation of Primates, especially the Great Apes.

This week, I have with me Tamaryn, musician, witch, perpetual student of the cosmos, and owner of the store 'Major Arcana' in Half Moon Bay, California. This episode is a powerful expression of creativity, passion, and shadow work. As Saturnine witches, we tackle these subjects as they must be truly seen, beyond masks of virtue and bound instead by an intentional acknowledgment of the All-Being as paradoxical in nature. Tamaryn and I discuss all of this and more through a Thelemic, psychoanalytical, and astrological lens. From Jacques Lacan to Kenneth Grant. From Nico symbolically consuming Marc Almond's soul through song, to the groundbreaking work of Amodali. Above all, with a particular reverence for all of the publicly unknown priestesses and magicians on their own personal esoteric path toward embodiment of these currents that collectively act as the rising tide of a new aeon. What does it mean to follow one's True Will? How might we consume our demons to integrate shadow and flesh? How might we best become channels of communion between Heaven and Earth. I adored this conversation with a dear friend, and I hope you all find it as inspiring and enlightening as I did. As a bonus for this episode, and to support the show, Tamaryn personally created a mix of songs meant to carry the emotions of her message, complete with a discussion on why each song was chosen. To hear the mix, along with Tamaryn's commentary, please consider signing up for the Patreon at www.patreon.com/saturnvox, To follow Tamaryn and her work, please check out her instagram @tamarynmusic and her music page here.

On Thursday May 4th, 2017 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review and discuss "The Red Goddess" (2007) and "Lucifer Princeps" (2015) by Thelemic magician Peter Grey. The Red Goddess is devoted to establishing the history and mystique of the Thelemic composite pagan goddess "Babalon", which he correctly derives from Ishtar and Astarte. This evolution is for the most part well-researched and well reasoned from a Thelemic perspective, although Grey is critical of Crowley and seems to think that Babylon is too good for the Beast. Most importantly he supports the Divine feminine in magical religion. In "Lucifer Princeps" he does the same for Lucifer on the male side of the magical religious pantheon. In this case he works from Isaiah back to the Book of Enoch, correctly concluding that Lucifer was originally Semyaza and of Canaanite origin. With the exception of his interest in Simon Magus Grey seems to ignore the early Christian Gnostic contributions to Magick but his books are nonetheless readable and thought provoking -- so tune in and we shall look at our magical history through a glass darkly.

It is a body of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between an unchanging, eternal and mysterious Ain Soph and the mortal and finite universe. Chabad is an inter¬pretation of reality based on the Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism. Tarot, Astrology, Reincarnation, & Humans Becoming Their Own Gods, Are Tenants of Kabbalistic Teachings.

Work left uncompleted in this life is undertaken again in a future life until the task of transformation is done. Reincarnation is a fundamental tenet of Kabbalah. The world and our place in it cannot be understood without this key principle. As always, what is true for a single human soul is also true for all humanity. As long as any one of us falls short of transformation, we will continue to participate in the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth - as will humanity as a whole - until the critical mass of truly enlightened people comes into being to eradicate pain and death forever.” kabbalah.com/en Helena Blavatsky On The Kabbalah  https://theosophyproject.blogspot.com/2015/01/blavatsky-and-kabbalah-1-sefer-yetzireh.html Kushner Foundation Gives $342K to Chabad https://forward.com/news/359482/kushner-foundation-gives-342k-to-chabad-still-surprised-about-jared-and-iva/ Trump's daughter, son-in-law visit Lubavitcher Rebbe https://www.timesofisrael.com/trumps-daughter-son-in-law-visit-lubavitcher- rebbe/ Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Visit Rabbi's Grave for Pre-Election Blessing https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/78078/new-idf-video-use-krav-maga-not-guns-female-terrorists-watch/ Jared Kushner and the White-Haired Mystic Whose Dad ‘Got a Ride' From a Dead Sage https://forward.com/news/361035/jared-kushner-and-the-white-haired-mystic-whose-dad-got-a-ride-from-a-dead/ Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's choice of neighborhood narrows the focus on Chabad https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/01/05/ivanka-trump-and-jared-kushners-choice-of-neighborhood-narrows-the-focus-on-chabad/ Jared Kushner' at Tisha B'Av Services in Washington DC's Chabad Synagogue http://jewishbreakingnews.com/2017/07/31/photo-jared-kushner-tisha-bav-services-washington-dc-chabad-synagogue/ Presidential daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump on Friday participated in Lulav Benching (shaking the four species) at the White House, along with some 30 White House officials and staff, in an event organized by Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Executive Vice President of American Friend of Lubavitch (Chabad) https://www.jewishpress.com/tag/jared-kushner/ Categories of Kabbalah The practical Kabbalah was a kind of white magic, dealing with the use of techniques that could evoke supernatural powers.
