Self-service technology ancient and modern, a German monk, and Shawna explains Gross Margin in this episode of The Supportive Podcast. For show notes, transcript and further reading: https://www.helpscout.com/resources/supportive-podcast/S1E2/Mat makes the claim that the future of online support is self-service. More specifically: elf-service driven by customers, delivered by AI and designed, monitored, and crafted by people is the way most customers will be helped, most of the time. Evidence for that claim:Self-service first is the only practical option for very large companies like Google.Improved AI tools will make it cost-prohibitive for smaller companies to remain human-service first in some situations.There's a long history of new tech not being as good as the system we already have. For example:Socrates was not a fan of writing.Trithemius loved writing but despised printed books.There is a pattern of self-service tech being put in place to replace some of what a service person was doing, but leaving the rest for the customer.ATMs, typing pools, self-service grocery store checkouts.Implications for support teams:Documentation will be critically important as the source for AI tools.A rebirth for Clippy in AI-powered contextual help.Managing the transition from AI to humans will be vital.Fewer support people per customer, but more complex and sensitive interactions for humans.New support quality assurance processes are needed to manage AI And human work.We need to find new paths to human expertise in support.Support pros need to become customer experience professionals.Hero(n) of Alexandria invented the first vending machine around AD60And Shawna explained Gross Margin.
What is the Steganographia, the most notorious work of German Benedictine abbot and polymath Johannes Trithemius? Written in the year 1500, Is the Steganographia a text about the evocation of spirits, a system of cryptography where information is secretly encoded, or both? Internationally acclaimed author, practicing magician and scholar, Dr. Stephen Skinner, shares about his collaboration with Daniel Clark where all four books of the Steganographia are being published in English for the first time with extensive explanations.

This week we are joined by Applied Hermetics founder, Rufus Opus. Rufus has written multiple books on Hermetic magic & astrology, most notably Seven Spheres, a methodology of Hermetic Ascent & Celestial Magic. His practice is primarily rooted in the 16th century works of Agrippa & Trithemius' method of drawing spirits into crystals as outlined in his Steganographia & other works. In this episode we sit down and discuss modernising hermeticism, some of the ways in which magic can be practical for prosperity & the nature of Justice, both from a Platonic perspective & societal one. Rufus runs his Applied Hermetics school & has an active website blog here: https://rufusopus.com/ ___________________________________________________________________________ In 2022, we launched Golden Shadow Academy - a modern school for esotericism, spiritual development & occult practice. With hundreds of hours of training, classes, and workshops; as well as a growing number of people making up the Inner Mystai Community, Golden Shadow Academy is shaping up to be one of the most unique and progressive esoteric academies in the world.

In today's episode we cover the story of the occult obsessed monk Johannes Trithemius who is considered to be the founder of modern cryptography and steganography. The works of Trithemius would go on to inspire many occultist such as John Dee. Trithemius was rumored to take his magic beyond that of the natural magicians of his age and was even said to be a necromancer. We also discuss Giovanni Pico Della Mirandella the founder of Christian Kabballah as well as the pentagrammaton. Should I even have to mention that he was backed by the Medici family? Join us for part 2 of the Occult Infiltration of the Catholic Church and make sure to follow the podcast so you can listen to part 3 next week where we will conclude with an analysis of esoteric and occult symbolism in Vatican artwork such as the Sistine Chapel!Twitter: thingsobservedMusic:Hank Williams - Thank GodThe Carter Family - Can the Circle Be UnbrokenHank Williams - I'll Fly Away
Welcome to the second part of our deep-dive into Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa's hugely influential giant book, Three Books of Occult Philosophy. In this episode, we will be searching for the answer to a pressing question: how did Agrippa manage to write such an enormous book before he even turned 25? Thanks to Eric Purdue's long work on his translation of this book, we have a pretty good answer: plagiarism! Agrippa used material from over 200 sources to compile and assemble Occult Philosophy. In many cases, he simply lifted complete passages from some of these sources. However, in spite of the rampant plagiarism in the text, Agrippa was able to assemble quotes and passages from these sources—some of them quite mundane—to put forth an argument for his own definition of an occult philosophy that proved to be both remarkable and influential. We will look at three of Agrippa's sources: Johannes Trithemius Pliny the Elder Johann Reuchlin This series of episodes about Occult Philosophy will most likely last until Summer. My Patreon supporters will be receiving each episode a week before the rest of the world, along with bonus materials such as full interviews, a glimpse at works in progress, and the opportunity to suggest further topics for this Agrippa deep dive.

My guest in this episode is hermeticist Rufus Opus, whose work is widely known in occult communities, especially his Red Work Course and his book ‘Seven Spheres', a manual on planetary magic that teaches how to open up gates and provides the working magician with initiatory experiences. Rufus Opus grew up in a mid-western fundamentalist Christian environment where bible studies were naturally part of his childhood. At around age 7-8 he started to realise that Christianity with its passive attitude did not grant him experiences with the divine and that there had to be something different out there. It was when Rufus moved out of his parents' house at age 18 that he dived deep into occultism with ‘The Big Blue Brick', ‘Prometheus Rising' and ‘Twelve Lessons in High Magick' and turned it into a part of his day-to-day life building up strength and discipline. In this latest episode of our show we will discuss if and why the bible belt seems to give birth to magicians in a rather interesting way, and how Rufus who calls himself an ‘amateur explorer' became the well-known and highly-respected expert he is. Indeed, the influences Rufus Opus received on his path were pretty diverse and we talk quite a lot about how they seemed to point him to the system of German Benedictine abbot and polymath Johannes Trithemius based on a 16th century grimoire. Of course, we explore the Trithemius system's particularities and Rufus explains how they led him to his career as a blogger and ultimately to his Red Work Course being created. In our conversation we will explore the reasons why Rufus chose an alchemical way of teaching in the very first place, how ‘Seven Spheres' was born out of it and why ultimately the Red Work Course was put into the hands of his most trusted and qualified former students. We close the episode with Rufus' most recent projects, to be found on two different websites, one where he teaches occult knowledge to budding magicians and one where he aims to provide a framework and place for teachers of occult knowledge and tradition in order for them to get through to their audiences. As Rufus is currently working on a new book, he'll also give some glimpses into the idea behind it - spoiler: it's all about love!

Well, today three more tracks from his latest album "Across the Never", which he offered me to play on this podcast. And stay tuned, more is to come later in the season! As a little reminder, I repeat his online bio here: Elusive Swedish-Congolese Artist / Producer Returns from The U.S. With an Album of Dirty Gold.His music sets the tone in award winning feature films. Global fashion giants such as H&M, Fendi, Agent Provocateur and Chanel battle it out with his sound. But the man himself is not easily found. Now 13 years after the solo debut “Songs From the Silent Years,” sound alchemist Krister Linder resurfaces with a new album; self-produced in New York, mixed in Los Angeles and mastered in Stockholm.With gold records and radio hits from various projects dating back as far as the late eighties, plus a substantial body of work in the 90's Stockholm underground electronic era (under an array of pseudonyms like Tupilaq, Yeti, Solaroid etc), Linder has been a prominent but equally mysterious figure on the Swedish music scene. After winning the awards for Best Music For Film (for two consecutive years in a row) at the Stockholm International Film Festival, Linder in 2009 decides to sell his stuff and cross the Atlantic to subject himself to a whole new existence – in a land and city where he has neither a past, track record or advantage.
Okay, stay with me here. You are going to have to hear this one to believe it, because my guest on this episode is Alexander Eth. That name is probably familiar, because Alexander is the host of the esoteric Glitch Bottle podcast, which covers topics we are all curious about: magic, mysticism, grimoires, necromancy, and other mysteries of our weird universe. Alexander is a classical ceremonial magician and researcher into grimoires. Did wizards just make all of this up? Alexander and I talk about the modern renaissance of grimoire magic and what he’s learned from all of the amazing magicians, researchers, scholars, and translators he has talked to. Is there technology to trace? How much of it is innovation? I have been waiting for so long to have this conversation, and Alexander’s insights are fascinating. In exploring this subject, we will discuss many of your favorite grimoires, well-known magicians both modern and historical, and a number of popular techniques. We discuss ritual implements, the history of such implements, and along the way we reveal that Alexander’s mind is a vast and impressive encyclopedia of magical goodies. We also talk a lot about the nature of spirits. What are they? Why can we talk to them? How can we do it better? Why does it work in so many different ways? We ask these questions and then we absolutely try to answer them! As a bonus at the end of the episode, Alexander and I share our pro tips on organizing podcast playlists. How can you spare your brain? Well, listen to the end and find out. Anyhow, you can tell from the description, I suppose, that the episode had to be a long one. It also had to be a long one because this is an interview with Alexander Eth!! Enjoy!

Nicholas Chapel is a Minneapolis-based ceremonial magician and professional hacker. He has been practicing magic for more than 20 years. While he graduated with a major in religious studies and a minor in philosophy, academia did not keep him; he landed instead in the world of IT, ultimately becoming a professional hacker on a cybersecurity red team. If his name seems familiar, it may be because he is the author of the well-known 2013 paper, “The Kybalion's New Clothes: An Early 20th Century Text's Dubious Association with Hermeticism,” which served as important source material for both Sam Block and me when writing our articles about the Kybalion. However, like the rest of us, Nicholas Chapel is not here to discuss the Kybalion; we are here to talk about real occultism. In this episode, we discuss the parallels between hacking and magic in several contexts. First, we look at the nature of hacking, malware, and information security from a magical context. Then, we dive into information in the occult, and how Trithemius, Agrippa, and other early modern magicians used cryptography and steganography in their work.

Disciple Up #194 Tradition & Change By Louie Marsh, 1-13-2021 Intro. Tradition and me Let's begin with this… We stay because Anatevka is our home... And how do we keep our balance? That I can tell you in one word... Tradition." (Chorus) Tradition, tradition... tradition (Tevye) "Because of our traditions, we've kept our balance for many, many years. Here in Anatevka we have traditions for everything... how to eat, how to sleep, even, how to wear clothes. For instance, we always keep our heads covered and always wear a little prayer shawl... This shows our constant devotion to God. You may ask, how did this tradition start? I'll tell you - I don't know. But it's a tradition... Because of our traditions, everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do." By Joseph Stein My history with Tradition: High School and College days, early ministry and gradual changes, probably brought about by finally winning some and making some progress. Great Historical Example: The year was 1492, a mere 37 years after Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type. Already, the new technology of printing books was threatening old ways. The Benedictine abbot Johannes Trithemius published a book entitled In Praise of Scribes, in which he defended the use of pen, ink, and vellum. "Printed books will never be the equivalent of handwritten codices," he argued. Ironically, Trithemius took his book to a printer in Mainz and had it published for wider distribution. Like Trithemius, evangelical Christians have been both media conservationists and media innovators. We love our leather-bound Bibles, yet eagerly use Biblegateway.com's full text-search capabilities to compare 20 English translations. Positive Uses of Tradition in Scripture: “2Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.” (1 Corinthians 11:2, ESV) “6Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.” (2 Thessalonians 3:6, ESV) Negative Uses of Tradition in Scripture: “13thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do.”” (Mark 7:13, ESV) “2“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” 3He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,' and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.' 5But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” 6he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.” (Matthew 15:2–6, ESV) “14And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own age among my people, so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers.” (Galatians 1:14, ESV) “8See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” (Colossians 2:8, ESV) Biggest change in my life – I'm able today to view tradition from a much more balanced and mature and objective position.
What are the dark, chthonic roots of the Heptameron? What necromantic text was Trithemius abbot of Sponheim, condemning in 1508, and how does it relate to a sanitizing process evident in the “angelic” Heptameron grimoire of 1559? Ceremonial magician Adley Nichols is a practitioner of the Elucidarium Necromantiae, a 15th century grimoire with roots dating before the 12th century. This is the original work which the now famous "Heptameron" in 1559 was originally based on.

The alchemists that inspired the myth of Dr. Faustus all shared his reputation for great learning and were accused of trafficking with the devil. In this episode, we trace a kind of family tree from the medieval friar Albertus to the Renaissance abbot Trithemius and his famous students Agrippa and Paracelsus.
Occultist. Theologian. Mercenary. Soldier. Physician. Spy. Scholar. Legal Expert. Peripatetic Polymath. Prisoner. Heretic. Certainly someone who lived a full life, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa looms large over the Occult, and is an obvious addition to the Fools Gallery. He is certainly one of the Titans of Magic, anyone seriously interested in the Occult must give Agrippa his due. In one book (or three) De Occulta Philosophia, it was Agrippa's contention that there could be a synthetic vision of magic whereby the natural world combined with the Celestial and the Divine. On this Episode, Douglas is joined by Reverend Erik from Arnemancy; another fantastic Podcast, where we try to unspool the influence of the Knight Wizard that is Agrippa.

The blurry line between medieval magic and espionage. Alex presents a kabbalistic cipher from the medieval Zohar and discusses the possibility of its relation with other contemporaneous ciphers such as Trithemius's Steganographia
In this episode, Erik interviews the hosts of The Magician and the Fool Podcast, Janus and Dominic. They dive right into what it means to be a magician, but the conversation explores Renaissance magic, the Greek Magical Papyri, Norse mythology, and Pittsburgh. How do the Magician and the Fool relate to the Trickster? We explore cultural archetypes through Norse mythology, other mythology, crazy anecdotes, and weird experiences. We also talk about the experience of running an occult podcast, and how the guests we bring on influence and change our lives in ways that we hadn’t anticipated. Talking to these guys was amazing.

"Gateways Through Stone and Circle" is a compendium of personal experiences and research from a traditional ceremonial magician working through a classical book of magic. This volume is a complete and in-depth study in the "Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals" as found in Francis Barrett's, The Magus, and accredited to Trithemius of Spanheim. Detailed research, personal experimentation, and evoking each of the seven planetary archangels and intelligences to visible and auditory presence are presented within. This is the interview with Frater Ashen Chassan and the discovery of the process and techniques to attain success in this Work.

On Thursday July 11th the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review the new book "Gateways Through Stone and Circle" by Frater Ashen Chassan. We will have the author as a featured call-in guest. This book is, in our opinion, the best practical "how to do it" book on traditional Western ceremonial magick in the past 16 years. It is also one of the best "why to do it" books also. This is a magical book by a real magician who has studied, lived and mastered the Art. After working his way through the Lemegeton's Goetia and Almadel, he decided to concentrate on Trithemius' "Book of Secret Things" or "The Art of Drawing Spirits into Crystals" from Barrett's "Magus" and make this system of Angelic crystal conjuration his special forte. He built his own equipment -- graphically detailed in the book -- and described all the technical details, rituals and techniques necessary to replicate his experiments. The text is beautifully written in a mature, sophisticated and very readable style. So, tune in Thursday and visit with the Magus from "The Magus."
The Hermetic Hour for Thursday August 23rd, 2012 will feature a discussion by host Poke Runyon on the 1st century " Alexandria Connection" where the elements that make up the Western Esoteric Tradition (Hermetic Tradition) came together and began the synthesis that was finally codified by Abbott Trithemius and Cornelius Agrippa in the 16th century. We will trace the Pythagorean, Ancient Egyptian, Gnostic, NeoPlatonic, Biblical (kabbalistic), Alchemical, Astrological, and even Christian influences that were shuffled together in a spiritual-intellectual ferment in what was perhaps the greatest university our Western world could boast of until the modern "Age of Enlightenment." We have dealt with this subject before, but this time we will focus on the particular people and their traditions: Alexander (Himself), Ptolemy the astrologer king, Hypatia the Pagan martyr, Hermes Trismegistus, and Marcus and Simon Magus. We will touch on the Greek Qabalah, the Osiris myth, and the influence of Zoroaster. So, if you have a burning desire to visit the Library of Alexandria, join us -- but no smoking inside, please...
