ULYSSES by James Joyce is not only one of the greatest novels ever written (perhaps THE greatest), but also a watershed in the development of Western consciousness. Its sprawling, Hermetic, often explicitly magical narrative explores the profound resonances of a single day, eternity in a grain of sand.  For this episode, Irish novelist Frankie Gaffney returns to discuss Ulysses and its profound cultural impact, and just in time for the one hundreth anniversary of the publication of the book.

In this episode, the legendary Ramsey Dukes returns to talk about chaos magick, the Aeon of Horus, his Guru alter-ego "Baba Rebok," and lots more! From his Thelemapedia bio: Lionel Snell was born in England in 1945 and brought up in the ‘arts and crafts’ milieu of the Gloucestershire countryside but won scholarships and County financial backing for formal education at Clifton College, Bristol, and Emmanuel College, Cambridge (1964-68), where he officially studied pure mathematics but also studied the works of Aleister Crowley in the university library and held his first “ritual happening” in the mid 1960s. Being brought up in a culture of alternative lifestyles and radical thought formed a contrast with his subsequent traditional education with its later emphasis on science. This lead to a lifelong interest in building bridges between the scientific/materialist worldview and alternative spirituality/paranormal—an approach very different from those New Age philosophies that seek to reconcile or equate science

Occult artist Micki Pellerano and I talk about the classic book THE MYSTICAL QABALAH by Dion Fortune, one of the primary classics of 20th century occultism, and often one of the first books that people interested in magic start with (and are often bewildered by). How does the book hold up, nearly a century later? Who was Dion Fortune, and how do the facts of her life change the context of the book? And what, actually, is Qabalah after all? This was an epic, excellent show that will be of interest to anybody interested in Qabalah, Western magic or spirituality in general.

In this episode, we turn back the clock 170 years, and revisit what is perhaps THE great foundational text of magick of the 19th and 20th century - Transcendental Magick, by the French magus Éliphas Lévi. Éliphas Lévi Zahed, born Alphonse Louis Constant (8 February 1810 – 31 May 1875), was a French esotericist, poet, and author of more than 20 books on magic, Kabbalah, alchemical studies, and occultism. He pursued an ecclesiastical career in the Catholic Church until, after great personal struggle, at the age of 26, he abandoned the Roman Catholic priesthood. At the age of 40, he began professing knowledge of the occult, and becoming a reputed ceremonial magician. The pen name "Éliphas Lévi", was a transliteration of his given names "Alphonse Louis" into the Hebrew. Levi gained renown as an original thinker and writer. His works attracted the attention of the heterogeneous ambiences of the era in Paris and London; from esotericists to artists of romantic or symbolist inspiration. He also expressed his indepen

In this episode, I'm ultra excited to talk to Lionel Snell, aka Ramsey Dukes, one the prime movers of chaos magick, and an absolutely lovely individual. From his Thelemapedia bio: Lionel Snell was born in England in 1945 and brought up in the ‘arts and crafts’ milieu of the Gloucestershire countryside but won scholarships and County financial backing for formal education at Clifton College, Bristol, and Emmanuel College, Cambridge (1964-68), where he officially studied pure mathematics but also studied the works of Aleister Crowley in the university library and held his first “ritual happening” in the mid 1960s.
