Then we delve into the area of UFOs, secret government projects, advanced technology, ancient astronaut theory, and eschatology. Fish’s study of the occult, conspiracy, UFOlogy, and related scientific evidence is useful for his skeptical analysis.
Our next subject is transhumanism, the philosophies involved, and the potential for future conflict. Lastly, Fish reviews the concept of conspiracy and some of the pitfalls.

Teacher, spiritual guide, theurgist, alchemist, mage, and author David Goddard joins us in this episode to discuss some of his Work. David is one of the founders of Rising Phoenix Foundation, a school dedicated to “transmitting western esoteric wisdom.” He has also written several excellent texts, including, “The Sacred Magic of the Angels.”
Our conversation begins as David describes the reason why these
teachings, only taught to high initiates in the past, are now available
openly due to the perilous times in which we live. He reviews the
origins of Angelic magic in ancient Egypt and Babylon. Part of the same
tradition as the Book of Enoch, this system has been passed down from
antiquity. We then discuss the Great Work of Alchemy rather
extensively, a subject brilliantly exposed in theory and practice in
David’s book, “The Tower of Alchemy: An Advanced Guide to the Great Work.”
David reviews the true meaning of the Royal Art of Alchemy, the
relationship of Alchemy and Qabalah, and the meaning of the Emerald
Tablet. Then we discuss the relationship between eastern and western
religion and esoterica and the concept of a world spiritual tradition.
Finally, we talk about the Work of Rising Phoenix Foundation. Be sure to check out the many teachings, classes, and workshops available for students.
“I sustain creation
In the midst of a perpetual ebb and flow.
Therefore do I assume the appearance of a refiner’s fire,
Forever purging out the dross of forms outworn.
This is mine aspect of Severity,
And of this it is written,
“Tetragrammaton Elohim is a devouring fire.”Thus am I as one who testeth gold in a furnace,
And this aspect of my being
Presenteth to the unrighteous
A face of wrath.Yet by the purgation of fire
Do I uphold and sustain thee
In every moment of thy life.For when thou hast been tried as by fire,
The gold of thy Beauty shall be purged of all dross
… and … shalt thou behold
The Shining One
Who is thine own true Self.”- excerpted from “The Meditation on Samekh” in “The Book of Tokens”

Carroll “Poke” Runyon is the Archimage of Ordo Templi Astartes, the longest running, continuously operating magical lodge in the U.S.A. He and his order have published a remarkable series of books and videos detailing their Workings in Solomonic Magick, scrying, and seasonal rites.
Our conversation begins as Poke describes his early life and how he became interested in esoteric ideas and practices, primarily for health reasons. We discuss the various aspects and practices that encourage personal unfoldment, including certain yogic disciplines, universal archetypes and symbolism, and relating scientific concepts to more ancient Hermetic ideas. Poke then gets into discussing using self-hypnosis as part of the scrying process and how he discovered this important ingredient. From there we get into talking about Phoenician Canaanite religion and mythology as well as the seasonal rites that celebrate them.
Phoenician Canaanite religion is directly related to the concept of the
Temple of Solomon and builder Chiram Abiff. Next, we discuss the the
Lost Word of Freemasonry. Poke explains how the legend relates the
concept that, “Only the Kings still understand that the Lost Word is
Light within us all.” Poke tells us how, historically, Freemasonry has
always provided a common ground for men of different faiths and creeds
to come together as equals. He also discusses the more modern
transformations that have occurred, specifically with regard to the
28th degree of the Scottish Rite - The Knight of the Sun or Prince
Adept.
Then we talk about Poke’s film, “Beyond Lemuria: The Shaver Mystery and the Secret of Mt. Shasta.” He describes the way he was fascinated by Richard Shaver and had his own experience on Mt. Shasta. The film has several notable occult authors cast as archetypal teachers and a story that employs mystery, myth, magick, and spirituality to take the viewer on a journey.
As Poke explains at the conclusion to our conversation, we need to “know what our obligation to the Light is … No matter what you believe or what you revere, it is your way to the Light. The same Light is within everybody and the only place you’ll find it is inside yourself.”

“… the price of ignorance is destruction … So if people want to continue being ignorant and think that every time you bring knowledge their way that it is some sort of a threat, then there is no hope for the human race … You can’t approach the archive of knowledge with fear. You should approach it with awe. But you should never approach knowledge with fear, because then you will only see the reflection of fear back. So it is not that these subjects are evil … or fearful, but people are approaching [them] with a wrong energy and a wrong attitude and it is like a mirror where you see your own reflection in it.”
