Glastonbury's best bard and psychogeographer, Paul Weston, returns to the show to update us on his synchromystic adventures. This episode is a bit of a special one as it serves as the isolation-era launch of his latest book, History and Myth: Boris Johnson, Henry VIIIth, Extinction Rebellion, Plague & The Return of the Middle Ages. And even more special than that, the book owes its existence in many respects to his last appearance on the podcast and the feedback it generated among the listenership. So if people ask you what you did with your lockdown you can tell them you actually did co-author a book. Albeit accidentally. Enjoy!

Artist, ritualist and clothing designer, Katie Martin joins us this week for a bumper episode. Katie accompanied me on an ayahuasca dieta in the jungle last year, so the story weaves in and around spirit-based healing methods; the difference between costume and ritual garments; the function and power of performance, how you can use ritual thinking with your own clothing; as a thorough look at how magically operant people can respond to serious health diagnoses. Super, super fun.   Show Notes Katie's site, Lo Monte. Lo Monte on Instagram. Lo Monte Vintage on Instagram. Lo Monte Vintage on Etsy. Information on Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.

Super fun video chat with the legendary Miguel Conner of Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. We discuss what constitutes cyberpunk, it's origins, influences and many gnostic parallels. Then we run through a top 10 cyberpunk films -carefully selected for our current apocalypse- and then we field some questions from the premium members and patrons who followed along live. This is the audio of a video conversation you can find on YouTube or at Rune Soup, should you wish for some visual. Enjoy! Show Notes Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. Miguel on Twitter. Miguel on Patreon.

This week we are speaking to the co-host of one of my very favourite podcasts, Bad Gays. Author, Huw Lemmey, joins us to talk about the importance of history, what it tells us, what it doesn't tell us, and how notions such as homosexuality change over time. Very cool stuff. Check it out.

In the last of the in-person London recordings, we welcome the one and only Gary Lachman back to the show. This time, we deep dive on Jung as a person and then attempt to parse his most important ideas. In many respects, today's show turned out to be extra-timely. Now, more than ever, we require an urgent inward turn. Enjoy! (You will also find just the video discussion at runesoup.com.) Show Notes Gary's website. Gary on Twitter.  

The one and only Peter Jenkins returns to the show on the occasion of the release of the third and final book in his Thai occultism saga, The Thai Occult Appendix. In this episode we talk more about spirit houses and why you should think twice about installing them, angels in Thai occultism, Thai astrology, cave spirits and the Thai animist version of the story of a wacky billionaire and some trapped school boys. Very good stuff.  Enjoy! Show Notes The Thai Occult website. The Thai Occult Books on Facebook. Note: There are images from the book available at the post page at runesoup.com

This week, we sit down in-person with medieval historian, author and public speaker, Christina Oakley Harrington. Christina is the proprietor of the world-famous Treadwell's Books in London so, of course, we talk about magic books and the role of the bookstore in the twenty first century. We also talk about growing up amongst African and Southeast Asian spirit customs, mystic medieval women, Gardnerian witchcraft and a lot more. Enjoy! Show Notes Treadwell's Books.
