In this episode, I speak with Thomas Hatsis, psychedelic historian and author of several books on the use of entheogens throughout history (The Witches' Ointment, Psychedelic Mystery Traditions, and LSD The Wonder Child: The Golden Age of Psychedelic Research). Tom and I discuss the the importance of maintaining historical methodologies and integrity when writing psychedelic history. We talk about the use of entheogens in the ancient world and medieval period, especially their possible use in the Eleusinian and Dionisian mysteries, and in the much maligned witches’ ointment. We also discuss where the psychedelic movement is heading and whether the psychedelic community can avoid the mistakes of the past.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Elizabeth Meacham, author of "Earth Spirit Dreaming: Shamanic Ecotherapy Practices." Elizabeth discusses her practice of shamanic ecotherapy, the value of doing nothing in nature, the creation of thought-forms or what Jung called the spirit of our times, developing a relationship with nature beings, and the importance of relating to the earth through ritual and ceremony. We also discuss the struggle and frustration with language in identifying and describing a spiritual relationship with the earth.

In this episode of Rebel Spirit Radio, I speak with Eric Wargo, author of "Time Loops" and the recently released "Precognitive Dreaming and the Long Self." Eric discusses his theory of precognitive dreaming, which he argues is a kind of remembering of the future, he shares his thoughts on why science rejects well-evidenced phenomena like precognition as pseudoscience and the need for citizen scientists. He talks about the often mundane nature of precognitive dreams, Freud and Jung, and what he believes to be the true nature of synchronicity.

In this episode of the Rebel Spirit Radio podcast, I speak with Marguerite Rigoglioso, author of The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception: Mary and the Lineage of Virgin Births. We discuss the immaculate conception of Mary, and the possibility that Mary was part of a tradition of Hebrew priestesses extending back to the matriarch Sara, and how stories of miraculous births are foundational to the Hebrew tradition. Marguerite also discusses the value of exploring non-canonical texts and how her work restores agency to the figure of Mary.
