Talk Gnosis

A mystical experience for you to have is checking out this interview with writer, poet, and scholar Emmalea Russo. She’s our guide to this huge and dense topic as we go through what mysticism even is—and we cover some serious ground including what horror has to do with mysticism, unexpected and underknown mystics, transcendence in a secular age, what art has to do with the mystic and, of course, always so much more.

REUP DUE TO GLITCH: Joséphin Péladan: mystic, art critic, Rosicrucian and curator (sometimes called the “first art curator”) was a late 19th century/early 20th century French visionary who could change your life—and whose vital impact on everything from high art to esoteric and occult spirituality has been almost forgotten. But we’re in a bit of Péladan renaissance now and Dr. Sasha Chaitow returns to the show to talk about his life and work and tell us about the Péladan course she’s offering online.

Dr. Matthew R. Anderson is a Biblical scholar, professor, and ordained Lutheran clergy and he’s the perfect guest for our New Year’s Eve special thanks to his new book “Pairings: The Bible and Booze.” From apple cider (Genesis) to bloody Caesars (Revelation), this book offers a collection of biblical texts paired with drinks reveals a rich complexity of scholarship while remaining satisfyingly easy on the palate. “Pairings” opens up generous undertones of prophetic justice and plush and full-bodied humour. Whether it be the book of Ruth, the Gospel of Matthew, or the Psalms of Contrition, peppery life observations and fragrant historical notes are kept superbly balanced, allowing a satisfyingly long finish of scriptural understanding.

Sabbatai Zevi was a 17th century religious leader who claimed to be the Jewish messiah. His movement and influence was huge at the time, and while he’s mostly forgotten today he was a major figure. While mostly understood as a scoundrel he’s a fascinating figure and mystics and Gnostics of all kinds will at least appreciate the shocking theological speculation and Kabbalah that surrounded him (though maybe he should be understood as a cautionary figure for all on the religious path). Scholar of Jewish mysticism Dr. David Halperin joins us once more to talk about Zevi and some related thinkers from his movement.

You might *think* you know what you’re in for a show on Atlantis but it’s muchmuchmuch stranger than you think. We go through the history of the myth of Atlantis and on the way we meet: space barbie, Plato, underground mutants beaming negativity at us, lemurs, organic farming, a shocking amount of racism, “Inherit the Wind”, Francis Bacon, UFOs, blobby proto-humans from Venus, and if you can even believe it… more high weirdness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A forgotten path of enlightenment. A young genius assassinated in his prime for bringing Gnosis to the world. The recovery of a suppressed perennial wisdom that saves. The mysteries of the angels. Kabbalistic secrets unveiled for all. The hidden gnosis and history of a figure who changed the world and whose impact is still felt today. Giovanni Pico della Mirandol AKA Pico is a Renaissance philosopher and one of the architects of the modern age and friend of the show (and one of the greats in occult and mystical podcasting) Greg Kaminsky is here to tell us about his new book on Pico, called “Celestial Intelligences.” Tune in and discover for yourself how Pico’s thought and insight is a valid path of spirituality for even now!
