You’ve probably never heard of Leigh McCloskey. He is a close friend of Stash Klossowski de Rola, the alchemist who so fascinated us on Dreamland a few weeks ago. He is an artist, the creator of one of the most extraordinary artworks in the world, the Heiroglyph of the Human Soul, which is located in his home studio in his native town of Malibu, California–and, in fact, IS the studio, as the art has extended throughout the room to form one of the most powerful stories in imagery created in our era.

Leigh is also the author of the Tar0t Re-Visioned, an epic retelling of the myths hidden in the Tarot, an effort 18 years in the creation. He and Whitley have been close friends for many years, joined with Stash on a profound inner and outer journey toward greater consciousness, and in this wondrous show, Leigh tells us of his life’s work, both as a spiritual searcher and as the protector of his home, Olandar, which is a place of spiritual exploration and retreat for many people.

Listen as he tells of what it was like as the massive Woolsey Fire of 2018 bore down on Olandar, and Whitley and many others, lacking any physical means to save the house, used special energies even as Leigh and his wife Carla fought the flames that were roaring down their street in the form of a fire tornado.

This is a deep and powerful show about a man all but unknown to the public, but who has achieved great mastery. Anne Strieber, who knew a lot about what a true master is, said after meeting him, “Leigh is a hidden master.”

Meet this hidden master in this week’s Dreamland.
