This week we welcome worldwide bestselling author and researcher, Lynne McTaggart, to talk to us about her latest book, The Power of Eight. We cover: The how's and why's of group intention. The scientifically observable impact on oneself when praying for others. An optimal structure for groups. The philosophical implications of the research Lynne has conducted and presented. A truly excellent and enlightening discussion! Show Notes The Power of Eight: Harnessing the Miraculous Energies of a Small Group to Heal Others, Your Life, and the World Lynne's website.

Due to a string of low probability events -both positive and negative- we're activating an emergency solo show this week. The topic is cycles, cycle models, where and how they align in 2018. As it is a solo show, there are no show notes, but you may wish to read Austin's 2018 report for context.

Starting 2018 off with a bang. The first guest of the year is none other than Dr Rupert Sheldrake. Dr Sheldrake joins us to talk about his latest book, Science and Spiritual Practices, which is already available to you lucky people in the UK, and will be out later in the year if you live outside the UK. A fantastic chat, unsurprisingly. Show Notes Buy Science and Spiritual Practices within or from the UK Dr Sheldrake's website Dr Sheldrake on Twitter

For the final show of 2017, we welcome back the one and Conner Habib for a thrilling chat on seeing through the lunacy and restrictions of official reality, opening up a new politics, and how to manifest your best possible year. Great stuff. Show Notes Conner's web series and podcast Conner on Twitter Conner's website

This week we welcome back a very special regular guest for a very special recurring feature. The one and only Austin Coppock gives us an end-of-2017 report as well as a peek through what I assume is an ornate, steampunk telescope of what is coming up in 2018. Good times, as ever.

This week we speak with the one and only Tobias Churton about his latest Crowley book, Aleister Crowley in America. We discuss his New York experience, mountain climbing in Mexico, to what extent he was working for British Intelligence, his curious UFO incident in New Hampshire and a whole lot more. A splendid discussion with one of my favourite authors. Enjoy. Show Notes Tobias's website Buy Aleister Crowley in America (US) Buy Aleister Crowley in America (UK)

Another solo show this week. (Sort of.) There's some further elaboration required on some of the notions skimmed in the Thanksgiving episode, plus some real talk on what is to be done. We return to normal programming for the rest of the year, but -like the Double Talking episodes- this is in danger of becoming a sporadic new format! And as it is just me, there are no show notes. Although you'll find a companion video at runesoup.com.

A solo show this week. Just me, talking about history and how we think with the past when it no longer matches up to our expectations of the present. Big shout out to all our American cousins doing exactly this under the challenging conditions of a competitive eating environment.

Paul Weston on the mic this week. Paul is an author and lecturer based in Glastonbury, and one that I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with in the flesh multiple times. Today he joins us to talk about synchromystic creative journeys, psychogeography, mermaid goddesses, ancient Egyptian spirits and the works of Kenneth Grant. Story time!
