Theurgy means “divine-working” and it’s rituals and workings to raise one’s self up into a state of divinity, a kind of sacred magick. And Dr. Nathan Bjorge thinks it has the potential to liberate us in both the personal and societal senses. Through specific examples of modern paganism, Thelma, and ancient Neoplatonism Dr. Bjorge comes on Talk Gnosis, with guest host Nic Lachetti, to show us how theurgy and the esoteric can free us from oppressive ideas and structures.

Psychoanalysis is, “a set of theories and therapeutic techniques that deal in part with the unconscious mind.” Occultist, analyst, podcaster, writer, and creator, Dr. Vanessa Sinclair comes on Talk Gnosis to tell us what it might have to do with the occult and Gnosticism. We talk about the underknown influence of the esoteric on Freud, why Jung gets all the attention, why a mystic might want to use analysis to follow the injunction “know thyself”, the links between dreams, art, creativity, and magic, and…as per the Talk Gnosis guarantee, all the questions and answers you need to penetrate the mysteries of life.

Take a moment to prepare yourself to find out the true meaning of UFOs! No, Talk Gnosis isn’t going down a sensationalist road for easy clicks, instead we have religious studies scholar Dr David Halperin on the show to talk about his insightful and meaningful book “Intimate Alien”. A poetic investigation into how UFOs are a MYTH in the grandest sense that reveal aspects of ourselves and our society and carry a message that humanity NEEDS to hear, Dr. Halperin’s book explains how the UFO is a psychological and gnostic vision that speaks to us in an archetypical way. Tune in to find out what the Men in Black have to do with a 17th century Kabbalist, the Gnostic war between good and evil found in the Shaver Mystery, why we must descend to ascend, the secret and hidden identity of the unknowable alien, and so much more.
