In this episode, Kentroversy returns to discuss ancient Egypt. Our conversation covers many different topics, including past lives, alternative history, religion, Hermetics, Alchemy, Tarot, and Magick. Although neither of us are “experts” in an academic sense with regard to egyptology, we have both spent years investigating the research available on the mysteries of the ancient world. Kent also shares his personal esoteric connection.

Of course, the architecture and craftsmanship has to be addressed, mainly the pyramids and temples. The appearance of high civilization followed by a descent in technology, architecture, art, etc. cannot be avoided. We also talk about The Emerald Tablet, the concept of Hermes Trismegistus, and much, much more.

As always, Kent brings interesting and original ideas to the table for this latest installment of our ongoing dialogue. Hopefully you enjoy our conversations as much as we do.

In this episode, we’re joined by student, teacher, and author Jason Augustus Newcomb. Our wide-ranging conversation covers many areas including Jason’s path, his work with “The New Hermetics,” magickal practice, consciousness, and his writings.

Among his newer books that we discuss are “The Book of Magick Power,” a comprehensive and practical guide to the study and practice of the Art, and “The Brotherhood of Light and Darkness,” an occult novel set in modern times.

“I’d like to see people who are magickal attempting to get along better with one another. Not necessarily working together in circles, but working together in harmony to create a Divine world here on this plane. And I’d like to see people being good to each other. The injustices of the world are all within each of us …”

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.

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.”
