Michael Tsarion returns in this episode to discuss the hidden lineage of western religion based on the research from his new book, “The Irish Origins of Civilization.”

Ancient trilithons like the one above are doorways through which the sun enters the world - a birthplace of light.

Michael talks about the worldwide megalithic, Druidic civilization, also referred to by some as the “lost civilization”, that built the great megaliths of antiquity in Ireland, Britain, Egypt, Lebanon, the Americas, Cambodia, etc. These enlightened societies were not divided racially, but along moral, spiritual, and intellectual lines. It is from these ancient peoples and their worldwide system of colleges and temples that the concepts of modern religion were taken.

Our conversation touches upon ancient Druids, Egyptian pharaohs, astrotheology, suppressed history, occult symbolism, etymology, mythology, and esoteric Christianity. Although we go into depth discussing these subjects, to truly understand the monumental significance of this all, read “The Irish Origins of Civilization.”

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 …”

In this episode, we’re joined by author Christopher Knowles. The discussion revolves around his new book, “Our Gods Wear Spandex, The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes.” We talk about the history of comic books and how the ideas contained and promoted in this medium can be traced directly to esoteric and occult concepts.

“The collision of science, morality, and magic is being played out hundreds of times a month in comic books and other media, showing us the implications of superhuman potential. Is this an unconscious form of preparation for an inevitable shift in human reality? Should we pay more careful attention to the visionaries and lunatics who anticipate the future in comic-book storylines? In that supernatural realm called the human imagination, comic-book creators like Alan Moore and Alex Ross may be time-travelers, forecasting the future for us and showing us the way. It’s funny how it all seems so similar to the ancient myths. The past and future are always with us.”

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.

Anubis' arrival is part of an effort to promote an exhibition of the treasures taken from the tomb of the ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamun. The show, "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs," opens Nov. 15 at London's O2, previously known as the Millennium Dome.

“That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons, even death may die.”

H.P. Lovecraft is considered by many, myself included, to be the ultimate supernatural and horror fiction writer. Joining me to discuss his work and life are Tracy R. Twyman, Kent Daniel Bentkowski, and Todd Campbell.

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Lovecraft’s gravestone rubbing (courtesy of Todd Campbell) reads, “I AM PROVIDENCE“

Alien Dreamtime: My Fight with Whitley Strieber

This is a long-winded preamble to a post on my fight, during a taped radio interview that will be aired this weekend, with the bestselling author of alien abduction memoirs and science fiction novels, and Dreamtime radio host, Whitley Strieber. Both Strieber and I were surprised by the virulence of this verbal battle - he said that I had assaulted him in his very being, and that we were no longer friends - but actually it was quite predictable based on my analysis of his work and the alien abduction phenomenon in 2012. (Strieber writes on his view of our argument here.)

I suspected that Strieber was influenced by the force that the visionary philosopher Rudolf Steiner called “Ahriman,” the evil spirit who pulls humanity down into minerality, materiality, sterile technology, and extinction.

and unfortunately he is helping disseminate their negative and destructive frequency into human culture and consciousness

Artist, writer, and visionary Neil Hague joins us to discuss his work and many related subjects. The mastery of painting and drawing that allows him to portray profound ideas is remarkable.

Neil and I discuss a wide range of topics including consciousness, creativity, art, mysticism, spirituality, religion, and tarot. I think you’ll find Neil’s perspective to be quite interesting and uplifting. Be sure to check out Neil’s excellent books - “Journeys in the Dreamtime,” which explores the ‘illusion of time’ and ancient myths and archetypes as understood by the great visionaries, as well as, “Through Ancient Eyes - Seeing Hidden Dimensions - Exploring Art and Soul Connections.”

Neil’s work is not only enjoyable and informative, it is quite important to truly understanding the world around us and how it came to be so.

Todd Campbell is an eso-researcher who writes a blog entitled, “Through the Looking Glass.” He joins us to discuss the historical events that have occurred on, or around, the date of April 19. Todd synchromystically connects many of these modern occurrences with mythology, resulting in some interesting symbolical resonances.

Specifically, he refers to the goddess Ceres and the Roman festival of Cerelia in relation to current events. We get into discussing the Virginia Tech massacre, this being a perfect illustration of the type of unsettling and often violent history of these days of the year.

Due to some extreme audio problems at the start of our conversation, I was forced to excise a portion, resulting in a rather abrupt beginning. As the dialogue opens, Todd and I are discussing author William S. Burroughs and how his view of the universe spoke deeply to Todd and his own feelings about the present and future of our world.

Tracy R. Twyman is a researcher and author noted for her prolific and thorough treatments on occult subjects. We begin our conversation talking about how she became interested and then began writing about these topics. From there, our discussion ranges from popular books and movies whose content relates to her book, “The Merovingian Mythos and the Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau.”

Then we discuss secret societies and their interlacing throughout society, Mormonism, and finish up with the symbolism of the U.S. dollar from her research in her excellent “Solomon’s Treasure: The Magic and Mystery of America’s Money.”
