This special edition episode of TST is a carry over from Ryan hosting Ground Zero. The full two hours are separate but part of a 5 hour marathon Wednesday night, August 16, 2023. Tonight, we discuss the DARK SIDE OF THE RISING SUN: MAGICIANS OF THE SAMURAI with Antony Cummins. The full episode of Ground Zero can be found at Aftermath Media.
August 15 marks the day when Japan remembers the end of WWII. Although most of us remember only fragmentary and carefully selected historical points of this time period, like Hitler burned books and Hiroshima was the site of an atomic explosion, there's always more to the story. The occupying Allied forces in Japan also burned books and engaged in harsh censorship. This continues to this day, where the history not only of WWII has been obscured, but of the Japanese Samurai, along with the Jomon culture which provides us with some of the oldest artifacts in the world - making this a matter of human history. Furthermore, Japan itself is a spiritual and magical repository on the level of Egypt and yet it gets left in a very obscure past or a superficial present. Antony Cummins, author of Dark Side of Japan & How to Become a Modern Samurai, joins us to discuss: https://www.youtube.com/user/TSOAS2008
