ESOTERICA

The Magi are famed as ancient keepers of esoteric wisdom. From serving as Zoroastrian priests, experts on the occult sciences - especially astrology - and most famously following a mysterious star to the infant messiah Jesus. Indeed, no image of Christmas can be conjured without them presenting their three gifts. What do we know about the Magi? How did the mythology around them develop in early Christianity? How were these pagan priest-kings understood by early Christian theologians? I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday seaon!

Magical and medicine have long shared a contested border. However, with the introduction of learned medicine into Europe, magical incantations were increasingly sidelined for Galenic principles and practice. However, Urso of Salerno (d. 1220) rejected both Church suspicion and Galenic orthodoxy by incorporating Incantations into his medical practice. In his Aphorisms, Urso provides one of the most sophisticated theories for the function and application of magical Incantations. Join me this Friday and let's explore how medieval incantations worked!

Folks may know that the Satanic Panic transformed my life. I sat down with ‪@CBCTrueCrime‬ 's Sarah Marshall to discuss the events around the Oct 1 1997 Pearl High School Shooting. It's a difficult topic for me to discuss but I want to be open about my past in the hopes that lessons can be learned.

The concept of the Demiurge is often associated with the demonic cosmos creator of the Gnostics. But, what do we know about the ancient Hermetic Demiurge? Emerging from the world of Greco-Egyptian religion and philosophy, Hermeticism was a powerfully optimistic means of reuniting one's high consciousness (Nous) with the Divine Parental Light after exorcising one's body of fatalistic daimonic infestation. But, the Hermetic Spiritual Philosophy is ambivalent about the place of any Demiurge in it's cosmology and means of salvation. Yet, some texts do speak of a magnificent Solar Demiurge as the conduit and cosmic artisan. Just what is the place of the Demiurge in Hermeticism? Join me Friday as we explore the Hermetic God and Demiurge OR check out the episode NOW - Early Access - by supporting ‪@TheEsotericaChannel‬ over at our Patron, link below - See you Friday!
