Diana Zaheer is a counselor and teacher of healing and wisdom traditions with more than 30 years experience.  In Over the Counter Meditations, she teams up with Grammy nominated musician Lincoln Parish, founding member and original lead guitarist of Cage the Elephant to produce an "extraordinary" piece of spoken word poetry and song.  Over the Counter Meditations is a "spoken word LP with a metaphysical purpose for positive transformation and reliable support during pivotal moments in people's mental health journeys." According to Zaheer, the album was created with the intention of giving us "companionship and wellness education along with familiarity of music."   For more information about Diana's work and many offerings, please see:  https://linktr.ee/innerharborteachings A fragment of Lincoln Parish's many creations can be viewed here:  https://www.instagram.com/lincolnparish90 This podcast can be found on your favorite podcast platform, or here: https://endoftheroad.libsyn.com/episode-279-diana-zaheer-over-the-counter-meditationsinner-harbor Many blessings to you and yours in 2024!

Michael Stuart Ani is a writer, musician, director and explorer.  In the 1960s and 1970s, he lived in Mazateca's remote cloud forest and became the only outsider who was ever allowed to collect the sacred mushroom species of the region.  In the 1980s, he resided with the Yanomami people of the Amazon Rainforest, later co-founding the Amazonia Foundation in 1991.  With this foundation, he was instrumental in fighting the epidemics among the Yanomami.  This work was subsequently featured in the 1994 documentary, Yanomami, Keepers of the Flame, which won the US Environmental Film Festival's Best Documentary of the Year.   He also directed the documentary Coming Home, about the repatriation of pure American Bison to the Lakota people of South Dakota.   After many years guiding explorers through the remote parts of the Amazon, Ani was inducted into the Explorers Society under the guidance of Sir Edmund Hilary and Thor Hyerdahl.

The legendary teletai of Orpheus were not simply "hymns"--they were initiatic poems for meditation and ritual, magical, and ceremonial use, each one addressed to a specific diety or virtue.  In The Magic of the Orphic Hymns, Tamra Lucid and Ronnie Pontiac recapture the magical vitality of the teletai that inspired mystery cults, Western esotericism, art, music and countercultures throughout Western history.  Ronnie joins us in this interview to provide a survey of the historical landscape of origin and evolution of the archetypical myth of Orpheus. Tamra Lucid has produced documentary films including the Emmy nominated End of the Line: The Women of Standing Rock, and is the author of Making the Ordinary Extraordinary.  (See EOTR Podcast episode 208).  She is the former writer and art editor for Newtopia Magazine and her work has appeared in Reality Sandwich.  She and Ronnie are also founding members of the experimental (and riotous) rock band Lucid Nation. Ronnie Pontiac worked for many years as Manly P. Hall's research assistant, screener, and designated substitute lecturer.  Author of American Metaphysical Religion (See EOTR Podcast episode 251), he wrote the biographical introduction to Letters to the Sage:  Selected Correspondence of Thomas Moore Johnson: Volume Two: Alexander Wilder, the Platonist.  He's currently working on several other books, including one on Rosicrucianism, and has written for several esoteric journals, and has produced award winning documentaries.  Check them out at: https://linktr.ee/tamralucid https://linktr.ee/ronniepontiac This podcast is available on your favorite podcast platform, or here:  https://endoftheroad.libsyn.com/episode-270-tamra-lucid-and-ronnie-pontiac-sacred-musicthe-magic-of-the-orphic-mysteries Have a blessed weekend!
