We explore the ancient arts of inner knowing, a journey that takes us to primordial goddesses, cosmic magic, and the wisdom of the ages. Although these mystic disciplines have resurrected after millennia of suppression, they are being lost and distorted in recent times. Time to reboot the Gnosis of arcane heretics, the chaos of Cybele, and the summoning of mercurial spirits before the world goes dark again. Time for the season of the witch.

It's finally out after many promises and plans of mice and men (and gods too)! I couldn't think of anyone better for our first show than Eric. We discuss from an esoteric and traditional perspective how to deal with alcoholism, bipolar disorder, and depression.
As serious as the topics are, we had a blast in exploring Gnostic fire and Promethean ice. Our discussion covered William Blake, Herman Melville, David Foster Wallace, Alan Watts, and other significant figures who found their Hermes and descended into the human soul's undergrounds. Some returned, some didn't. What will your end be?
The Finding Hermes program is out, gradually rolled out but in tiers, found at Patreon or AB Prime.

From the mysticism of ancient Sumerians to the piety of the Christian faithful to the magic of modern occultists, we get acquainted with perennial planetary and stellar entities. This quest not only teaches us how to call upon the gifts of angels and archangels but the ability to call upon our inner divinity for improved existence and the power to overcome life’s trials.

We were joined for a debate on reincarnation by two heavy-hitters in Gnostic circles who represent what is best in Gnosis: Scott Smith, author of God Reconsidered, and John Munter, author of The Samaritan Jesus.
Two went into a cage and a thousand lifetimes came out. Seriously, it was a spirited and friendly debate on the doctrine of reincarnation. Scott argued for its shortcomings while John supported its strengths. Our discussion evolved into other cool topics like whether creation is benign or malevolent, karma, aliens, and much more. With audience questions, it was an evening full of mirth and Gnosis.
A fascinating yet vexing question in religious studies is why did Gnosticism vilify the Old Testament god yet embrace the Torah? New scholarship provides answers – taking us to ancient times where priests and kings quarreled over the nature of the gods, the issue of iniquity, and proper social order. These insights will shed light on the influence, magical practices, and theology of Gnostic groups like the Mandaeans and the Sethians, as well as the formation of Christianity.

We present compelling evidence for the existence of a written pre-canonical Alpha gospel that was a foundation for the four gospels. This exploration will lead to novel insights on the transcendent spirituality of the Gospel of John, as well as enigmatic biblical characters like the Beloved Disciple, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, and Jesus himself.
