The weekly occult podcast diving into the deep end of mythology, high-strangeness and religion. A show for seekers upon the path and wanderers of the outer abyss. Where others stay surface level, we go deep into the rabbit holes of demonolatry, chaos magick, gnosticism Thelema, Aleister Crowley, fallen angels, the ars goetia, MKULTRA, the black cross of Saturn and of course Ancient Egypt.

Springtime for Yitler: The Black Nazi and the Elephant In The Room
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! Click hear to hear the FULL episode on our Patreon FOR FREE. In this week’s episode we address, in real time, the unfolding calamity that Ye (the artist formerly known as Kanye West) has unleashed upon the world with his new controversial single “He*l H*tler” from his upcoming album “Cuck.” As of recording this episode it has been banned on nearly every platform on the internet but has gone viral anyway and has evolved into a cultural phenomena that has left the majority of us confused, offended and, if we’re honest, uncomfortably amused. While burying our heads in the sand is a good enough solution for some, we hope to apply our god given gifts of discernment to meet this cultural phenomena head on, dissect exactly how fascist movements form and how art is used to either fuel or foil it. We discuss not just the historical context of Ye’s new single but unpack some of the esoteric symbolism therein to help us weigh out not just its hidden messages how much of this stunt is satire and how much is serious. What we discover is deep, dark and full of enough nuance to promise that anyone daring enough to take a glimpse will have plenty to consider when making up their own damn minds. It’s ok to let people do that sometimes, you know… Thank you and enjoy the show!

The Philosophy of Freedom by Rudolph Steiner, Part 3
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode Heka Astra brings us full circle to conclude this three part series concerning the philosophy and occult implications found within Rudolph Steiner’s Philosophy of Freedom. On the first side of the tape we discuss the philosophy of Monism and just how many concepts fit neatly inside of it and whether or not the world or life itself has a purpose. If so, where does it come from? In the extended show we wrap up all the loose ends and conclude with a rousing discussion on Steiner’s ideas about morality, the imagination, the value of life itself, individuality, the genius, racial qualities (warning it gets controversial [not the views of the hosts!]) and answers, finally, once and for all, if we are truly free or not. Thank you and enjoy the show!This episode was written by Heka Astra with additional research and commentary by Luke Madrid and Mari Sama.In this week’s episode we discuss: -The Philosophy of Monism-External Control-Moral Compulsion-Purpose and Destiny-Knowledge and Conversation With the HGAIn the extended show available at www.patreon/com/TheWholeRabbit we reach the enlightening conclusion and discuss:-Moral Imagination?-The Value of Life-Antiquated / Controversial Theories of Race From the Text-Individuality-The Final Consequences of Monism-We Are Free!Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:The Philosophy of Freedom PDFhttps://argos.vu/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Philosophy_of_Freedom-Rudolf_Steiner-4.pdfSupport the show

The Philosophy of Freedom by Rudolph Steiner, Part 2
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we stack up behind Heka Astra who is leading the charge and authoring this three part series through the twisted jungle of Rudolph Steiner’s wild mind as he establishes the philosophical framework proving the truth we all feel inside, that we, despite some compelling evidence otherwise, are in fact truly free beings possessed of our own divine will as it is laid out in exhausting detail in his seminal classic “The Philosophy of Freedom.” In part two of our tour of Steiner’s work we explore the shortcomings of naive realism and critical idealism which are easier to understand than it first sounds. In the extended episode we discuss how the faculty of feeling corresponds to traditional Hermetic elemental associations, the nature of individuality, the limits of knowledge and the awesome power of the All-Mind or Nous. Make sure to tune in next week to see how it all combines to create a uniquely free spirit. Thank you and enjoy the show. This episode was written by Heka Astra with additional research and commentary by Luke Madrid and Mari Sama.In this week’s episode we discuss: Critical Idealism vs. Naive RealismAbsolute IllusionismWhat is a Percept?What is a Concept?The Power of THINKING Parabola ThoughtsThe Power of INTUITIONHave You Ever Seen a “4?” In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further into the classified domain and discuss:The Hermetic Association of WaterThe Unification of Thought and FeelingThought as a BridgeHuman Individuality Are There Limits To KnowledgeIn A Locked RoomPoimandresThe All Mind / Nous Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:The Philosophy of Freedom PDFhttps://argos.vu/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Philosophy_of_Freedom-Rudolf_Steiner-4.pdfSupport the show

The Philosophy of Freedom by Rudolph Steiner, Part 1
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! On this week’s episode we follow our guide Heka Astra into the rarely explored yet vitally important philosophical conundrum of what it means to be free and if such a thing is even possible by exploring turn of the century occultist Rudolph Steiner’s seminal classic on the subject, “The Philosophy of Freedom” which to the delight of the spiritually minded explains in, albeit exhaustive detail, the inner and outer workings of perception, will, thought and if or even how we may express our SUPPOSED God given right to freedom. In the free side of the show we discuss what freedom even is, if it has anything to with choice (or not) and what Will has to do with the suit of wands in the Tarot. In the extended show we discuss the formation of the ego, the effect observation has on both light and our thoughts (we even yell about physics for a while) and the esoteric symbolism of the sword in the Hermetic tradition as it pertains to Steiner’s explanation of thought. Thank you everybody and enjoy the show.This episode was written by Heka Astra with additional research and commentary by Luke Madrid and Mari Sama.In this week’s episode we discuss: WTF is Freedom Anyway?
