Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio's Miguel Conner returns to the show this week for an in-depth unpacking of claims made by Jordan Peterson, James Lindsay and others in the online Right that Marxism is actually Gnosticism. We look at The origins of these claims. Exactly WHERE and HOW they are wrong. The origins of Gnosticism. The 'true' origins of 'woke' thought. We also explore some possible points of consent with the analysis Jordan Peterson presents regarding Lucifer and the archetypal significance of clowns, jesters and evil. Many thanks to Miguel for coming back on the show again. I have actually ..read more

This week's episode is an installment in the long-running World Without Sin series, examining how we respond to monolithic media and how not every outsider is a plucky freedom fighter. We also look at how and why it might be that all forms of expression are collapsing into a meme singularity and what this might have to do with the jester archetype. After that there is a life update and a travel magic story. And then -on the video version only- we have a Q&A where we speculate on the whereabouts of Kate Middleton, what's really going on with Boeing, healing from trauma patterns and G. K. Ch ..read more

Hello from the road! Just wanted to get out a little solo show of what I have been up to, which also morphed into how to deal with foreseen rather than unforeseen dramas. We also cover some updates on the Sigil A Day project, and speculate on the development of media and podcasts in our post-Putin-interview World Without Sin. Enjoy! Chat soon ..read more

You may recall that Angie from Angie Speaks guested on the podcast last year. Well, she graciously invited me on a show she co-hosts, Mystic and the Machine, where we have a good ol' chat about UFOs, Jung, the looming apocalypse and how all of these things are interrelated. It was such a good chat, I'm releasing it as a main podcast episode this week. Should you wish to watch it instead, catch the interview at the Mystic and the Machine YouTube channel ..read more

Here we are in 2024, eh? And it’s off to a bang for people starting on the #SigilADay2024 Project and, to a lesser extent, Japan Airlines. In this solo show, we cover: Locating your intentions and goals for 2024. Turning them into enchantment topic areas. How to create sigils from scratch. The initial sigil activation I am offering for those embarking on this project and why. (Hint: It needs to be quick but not as quick as some of you ejaculate. That’s right, I made a sigil joke.)  NOTE: the audio version does not contain the Q&A which starts at the one hour mark of the livestream ..read more

You know the festive season has begun when Austinmas rolls around! Join Gordon White and Austin Coppock for a look into the first half of 2024 and how to navigate it. We look at Risk of war. What we can and can't learn from 2024. The best time of year to GTD. The Year of the Dragon. Mars, Mars and also some Mars to go with your Mars. Plus there's this whole subplot about fish. Enjoy ..read more

We come at last to the final in the AI For Magicians series of solo shows. This time we explore how we co-create with non-human beings and what that AI co-creation looks like for magicians. As is traditional, there is a video slide presentation that goes along with this episode, which you absolutely do not need to watch if you're vibing more with the audio. Show Notes Ursula K. LeGuin and Donna Haraway discuss technology. James Bridle discussing Ecological Technology on the Emergence Magazine podcast. Previous episodes in the AI series: Tools of the Magician Transhumanism, Technocracy a ..read more

Who says you can’t teach an old (27) dog new tricks? For something a bit different, I’m sharing the audio version of, not my podcast, but I podcast I was on. Specifically The Coffee and Divination Podcast with JoAnna Farrer. One of my goals for next year is to push the boat a bit more with the format of the podcast. This year we brought in more regular solo shows, more livestreams, and so on. I want to start throwing in some shorter episodes in addition to the main ones, and I want to start sharing other shows I was on that I think are really good discussions. It won’t happ ..read more

This week's episode is the audio version of a live stream discussion with Samuel Urban of the Illegitimate Scholar podcast. We talk about The educational industrial complex. So-called 'alternative' history. Find the good in the total failure of academia over the past few years. Invisible colleges. What comes next and what to do. A really fun chat -and one that only had a few technical issues for once, some of which weren't even on my side! Thanks, Elon! (We got Starlink while I was in Paraguay.)
