We welcome back to the program T Allen Greenfield to discuss his two most recent books - “Inquisition In 21st Century America” and “Victorian Fire: The Origins of Sexual Magick“.

“Inquisition In 21st Century America” is Dr. Greenfield’s description of his personal experiences with regard to expulsion from a “magical order of antiquity“. We discuss how this book has subsequently been censored and is no longer available from the publisher, as well as the idea of censorship and free speech in a larger context.

Described as “the essence of 19th century sexual magick under one cover”, “Victorian Fire” details the story of the (re)emergence of sex magick into a somewhat more public environment. One individual that we talk about who is integral to this history is Dr. Paschal Beverly Randolph. These ideas, according to Dr. Greenfield, can be reliably traced back to before the dawn of civilization as we currently understand it.

Kentroversy Tapes Podcast # 26 (December 17, 2007)

This week's guest is our old friend Greg, from the Occult of Personality podcast and website. We began our talk with my reading of a passage on Ascended Masters from the book LIBER ABA (Magick Book 4, pgs. 8 et seq) by Aleister Crowley, which discusses the Ascended Initiated Masters known as Jesus Christ, Buddha, and Mohammed. It is well-known to esotericists that Christ was initiated in the Great Pyramid of Egypt's Giza Plateau. This is part of the missing years of Christ's biography.

Greg defines ASCENDED MASTERS in the following way:

"A spiritual being who can inspire and assist, and even physically manifest, to guide those who the Master has chosen to [guide their spiritual ascension]. The purpose of this is to uplift humanity in some sense or another."

Lupa joins us to discuss Therioshamanism, her innovative and creative magickal work, and her books.

Therioshamanism has been defined by Lupa as shamanic animal spirit magic. A totally new system that she is creating and journaling about on her new blog - Therioshamanism.com. Prior to beginning this path, Lupa has written a number of books regarding neopagan animal magic, including “Fang and Fur, Blood and Bone: A Primal Guide to Animal Magic” and “A Field Guide to Otherkin.”

Our conversation also covers the interesting and controversial concepts of cultural appropriation, “plastic shamanism,” entheogens, as well as how someone who feels connected to these traditions can become more involved. In addition, we touch on the fascinating new book by Lupa and her husband Taylor Ellwood, “Kink Magic: Sex Magic Beyond Vanilla.”

A very innovative, creative, and well-spoken occult practitioner, Lupa’s work is interesting, original, and worth checking out.

In this episode, Taylor Ellwood, magician and writer, joins us to talk about his innovative and experimental magickal practices. As part of our conversation, we discuss his alchemical workings, a process that involves the inner laboratory and its transmutation in his book, “Inner Alchemy: Energy Work and the Magic of the Body.”

Taylor also discusses his experimental attitude towards magick, especially with regard to evocations and space / time divination. He describes several techniques that he employs, including his ideas about newer versus older archetypes, a concept that he more fully explores in his book, “Pop Culture Magick.”

Experimentation and innovation are important to the evolution magickal practice, as Taylor notes. Keep an eye open as he continues to explore uncharted territory.

Christopher Moors of CreativeCosmos.org joins us to discuss the Spiritual Path, both his own and the greater Path.

Christopher describes a personal relationship with the Divine, his beginnings as a musician, first coming to an awareness of the “Harmony of the Spheres,” and then learning to have no fear. He also speaks of the importance of cultivating the silence within and then coming to know the Truth of the Hidden Light and how that changes each of those it touches. We also get into the fascinating subject of past lives and Christopher’s experiences and perspective.

Don’t miss Christopher’s new publication, “Pearly Gates Press,” a book containing fascinating material on the astral realm, angels, demons, and entities, increasing psychic abilities, and the metaphysical arts.

T Allen Greenfield returns to the program, reprising his earlier appearance, to discuss some rare books for sale, the “The Secret Rituals of the Men in Black,” extraterrestrials, ancient civilizations, Points Chauds, and contact.

In our conversation, we cover some of the truly shocking conclusions that he reached:

“All serious magical rituals are a hidden advanced technology, concealed in a cipher now revealed. The Ultraterrestrials have been our teachers, puppet masters, body snatcher, lovers, and slave masters. Among us are Adepts who are in league with them, from the ancient priesthoods of light and darkness, to the Hidden Church of Light or Great White Brotherhood, and the Dark Lodges or the Black Lodge. Other adepti have raised themselves beyond the human condition and, as Ascended Masters are at once our ancestors, benefactors and an indicator of what we, as humans can become… The Ultraterrestrials, behind smoke, mirrors, and illusion both need us and are afraid of us.”

George T. Mortimer is the proprietor of media-underground.net. His web site features a lot of very excellent alternative media, torrent tracker, and a forum.

George is also an author, having published the exceptional “The Probationers Handbook - A Manual of Instruction for the Student of the A.’.A.’.”

Having read this book, it is recommended to anyone who has a desire to practice Magick in this system. The selected material and it’s composition is excellent. George’s commentary is both accurate and helpful, notably his descriptions and methods for working through difficult periods of study and practice. This is something that is extremely valuable in a practical sence. A truly effective instructional manual that was previously only available in very limited private release, this work is a worthwhile addition to those aspiring to practice in a Thelemic tradition.

We discuss all this and so much more …

Philip Coppens is one of the world’s foremost esoteric researchers. He joins me to discuss his investigations into the world’s Mysteries. We discuss how he began his career and the many amazing subjects he’s covered, including the Knights Templar, Rennes le Chateau, and some of the research from his latest book, “The New Pyramid Age.”

The conversation also covers the work Philip does in combining the “Mind, Body, Spirit” and his open-minded and reasoned approach. He talks about the possibility of different research disciplines (metaphysics, occult, paranormal, spiritual, ufology, etc.) combining their study and why it is important to consider. Also, his analysis on the roles of science and organized religion in modern society is quite incisive. Last, we talk about Conspiracy Times. Few researchers are talented enough to reveal meaning, yet allow the air of mystery to remain. Coppens is one of them.

LONDON - A giant statue of the ancient Egyptian god of the dead floated down the Thames on Monday, turning heads as it crossed under London's Tower Bridge.

The 25-foot fiberglass representation of the jackal-headed god was taken down the river on the back of a cargo ship to Trafalgar Square, where it will stand for three days before moving to various locations around the capital.
