We touched on numerous important topics such as working with the spirits of nature, the tools employed by the traditional practitioner, working with the shadow, ethics in practice and much more.....

In this episode we speak to the always eloquent and interesting Jack Grayle. We explored ideas surrounding the nature of the gods, and daimonic emanations as avatars and representatives of them. We also looked at divine epiphanies as a reflection of the unseen world, and the dense and syncretic praxis of antiquity.

Sorite D'este joins us today to discuss the multifaceted Titan Hekate.
Sorita educates us on the history and background of this remarkable and truly complex deity. Her traditional role, her functions, her jurisdiction and her associations.
We also tackle some common misconceptions and wrong thinking associated with this goddess, fueled in large part by marketing and pop-culture perceptions.

Traditional Astrologer, author, practitioner of Lucumi, Mr Eric Purdue joins us in this episode. We talk about his new, and very anticipated translation of the monumental work of polymath Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim. It was a true pleasure to have him on the show.

In this episode we had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Dr Justin Sledge about the complex matrix of Judaisms in classical antiquity.
Out of this matrix we get movements such as Gnosticism, Christianity, Samaritanism, the Essenes and the Mandeans to name just a few. To say the Jewish impact on religious belief and spiritual practice in antiquity was significant would be a huge understatement.

In this episode we had the good fortune to be able to exchange ideas with two of our most popular former guests, the brilliant Gregory Shaw and Edward Butler. What better subject to talk about than the Parmenides, perhaps the most difficult of Plato's dialogs. Of course it is no surprise that we tackled some really heavy topics, most notably, the One that is not. We also explore the interaction of polytheism and monotheism, the function and nature of the henads, as well as whatever else seemed interesting at the time.

This episode is all about praxis. Practically working the PGM from the perspective of veteran magician Pedro F.
Pedro was kind enough to walk us through his syncretic approach of conjure and ceremonial magic and how it applies to his work with the Greek magical papyri.

In this episode we talk to scholar, Braucher, Priest and mystic...Mr Christopher Bilardi.
Chris educates us on the traditional German folk magical ways of Braucherei, also known as powwow. We discuss and examine the specific workings of this particular paradigm, and how it relates to other streams of magical thought and practice.
