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.

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.”

Writer and researcher David Southwell joins us to discuss his work exposing secrets and lies.

In our conversation, David explains how he was always interested in the hidden secrets of the world and how this propelled him to his current vocation. He describes various aspects of research, particularly as applies to eso-research and conspiracies. The importance and relevance of these lines of inquiry are obvious when David describes his relationship with Alexander Litvinenko. Also, not to be missed is David’s knowledgeable description of disinformation, and how it is spread so effectively.

As David wrote in his excellent book, “Secrets and Lies”:

“The biggest lie you have been told is that you have no power to change the world, but the biggest secret is why, when you realise this, you don’t get up off your backside and do something about it.”

Mitch Horowitz is the editor-in-chief of Tarcher/Penguin Books in New York, specializing in spiritual and occult books. He has published some of the leading titles in esoterica today, including “The Secret Teachings of All Ages: Readers’ Edition” by Manly P. Hall.

In our conversation, we discuss Mitch’s journey into the occult, spiritual, mystical, and metaphysical. He talks about his research into the history of America and its “re-making” of the occult. We get into discussing many of the notable occult figures throughout recent history (Cagliostro, Blavatsky, Olcott, Case, Hall, and others), the differences between European occultism and American occultism, and the Authentic Tradition.

Mitch’s knowledge and wisdom shines in this conversation, to say nothing of the amazing books he has helped to deliver to the world.

KENTROVERSY TAPES PODCAST # 08 (July 16, 2007)
by Kentroversy

Greg of the excellent website and podcast known as OCCULT OF PERSONALITY is my guest on this week's KENTROVERSY TAPES podcast. We spoke about the idea of the SACRED denigrating into the PROFANE.

On this, THE KENTROVERSY TAPES podcast # 08, we have Greg from the OCCULT OF PERSONALITY websites and podcast. I have done Greg's show a few times now, and we always seem to have these highly interesting confabs whenever we get together about these subjects that are so central and integral to our work. When I invited Greg to come speak with my listeners, he was more than happy to do so.

I would encourage all interested in what Greg has to say, to check his websites and his podcast, which are excellent, and worthy of your attention.

Chartres: the Virgin Mary’s Seat on Earth

In 1926, Fulcanelli – an obvious pseudonym – wrote “Le Mystère des Cathédrales” – The Mystery of the Cathedrals. The publication not merely created a renewed interest in the how and the why of the Gothic cathedrals, but also raised the question who Fulcanelli was. Several names have since been put forward, tall stories have been spun, including how Fulcanelli was over a hundred years old, did not die, but instead disappeared. It is now generally believed that the man at the origin of the mystery was René Schwaller – the man who, with the addition of “de Lubicz” to his name, would later make a name for himself as an Egyptologist, performing detailed analyses that would inspire the likes of John Anthony West.

Chartres became the Virgin’s throne upon Earth, an earthly palace for the Queen of Heaven. When you walk through the large doors of the cathedral, you are indeed walking in a dark, gigantic hollow… the Goddess’ womb?
