Talk Gnosis

It’s our Christmas special and also another ep of our new show Pop Gnosis and wow…it’s also the reveal of our new host Rebecca “Bee” Scolnick! Bee and Jason will be exploring how Gnosticism is reflected in the cultural world around us, and how movies, music, art etc. have the capacity for gnosis, instead of only looking for it in explicitly religious, or explicitly historical texts. This time we’re watching 2021’s arthouse fantasy movie “The Green Knight.” It takes place in King Arthur’s court at Christmas and maybe the original 14th century poem it’s based on has some Gnosticism in it and this trippy, fascinating, and bold interpretation rules. We have a lot to say about it and you’re going to love this ep…I can say that because Talk Gnosis’ Deacon Jon is writing this and he was the guest, not the host, so he’s impartial.

Lemoine challenges misconceptions about AI, emphasizing collaboration and creativity, while also touching on the quirky aspects of Gnostic community practices.

We’re starting a new show about the intersections of pop culture and Gnosticism and this is our test ep for it AND this year’s Halloween special. The Darren Aronofsky film mother!, about a couple in an isolated country home encountering a series of disturbing visits by disturbing people, was advertised as a horror movie and wikipedia claims it’s a horror thriller so that’s good enough for this October BUT we debate if if it is a horror movie…or Gnostic….or what it is. A peculiar allegory that’s definitely saying something about god and the Bible, Deacon Jon, Jason, and Deacon Angie share their theories and go through the details so tune in and give us your mother! theories in the comments.

The Most Holy Trinosophia is a mysterious text from the late 18th century composed of mystical images and text, maybe written by the infamous Cagliostro in the prison of the inquisition, that tells the story of an allegorical and initiatory journey.
