It was a pleasure to have researcher, teacher, and professional reader Stuart Sudekum join us to discuss the esoteric heavyweight Aurthur Waite, and the depth of his famous Tarot. Stuart is a real wealth of knowledge on the Tarot and is currently working on a book that we cant wait to read!

We continue our conversation on the controversial Simon with returning guest Alex Rivera. This time we focused more on the theology and philosophy of the Samaritan Magus. The universal fire, the boundless power, the fallen first thought, the 6 roots of the cosmos...and more.

  Roundtable discussion with Alex Rivera from https://theaeoneye.com/.  We dive deep into the topic of Simon Magus in this episode. Alexandrian trained Samaritan magician, and perhaps the father of Gnosticism. We cover his associations with Jesus, John the Baptist and others. You will not find a more thorough assessment of Simon then you will here. Lets dispel some myths together and find the truth.    https://www.facebook.com/themagicianandthefoolpodcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7iwZTqQ_bAT4XUoLG-CJZA

    We continue and conclude (for now) our conversation on Hermes and Hermeticism. We look at some of the moral lessons in the Corpus Hermeticum...including the ideas of redemption and salvation. We also explore the concept of the immortality of the cosmos.   https://www.facebook.com/themagicianandthefoolpodcast/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7iwZTqQ_bAT4XUoLG-CJZA

  We continue the theme of ancient cosmology in episode 2 with a look at Hermeticism. We are painted a picture of the beginnings of creation through the Corpus Hermeticum. Specifically the book called Poimandres.
