You may recall that Angie from Angie Speaks guested on the podcast last year. Well, she graciously invited me on a show she co-hosts, Mystic and the Machine, where we have a good ol\' chat about UFOs, Jung, the looming apocalypse and how all of these things are interrelated.
It was such a good chat, I\'m releasing it as a main podcast episode this week.
Should you wish to watch it instead, catch the interview at the\\xa0Mystic and the Machine YouTube channel.

After tabling the possibility in the last live stream and thrashing out some of the details with the Rune Soup Premium Member brain trust, we\'ll be moving forward with the goal of launching one sigil a day for every day of next year.
The audio version of the announcement -ie this one- is a bit more involved than the video one. That\'s because 58% of YouTube watchers aren\'t subscribed, so I had to pitch it a bit more as \'beginner\'. But if you\'re subscribed to the podcast I wanted to speak more at your level.
But if you want the video one, you can watch me wandering around on the first beach day of Tasmanian Summer. (It poured with rain almost immediately after I finished filming). Or you can consume both. It\'s the festive season. Treat yourself.
The only relevant show note is a link to the Rune Soup telegram group, where the ongoing sigil project will be discussed. It\'s free and available to members and non-members.
Enjoy!

This week, the audio version is an off-the-cuff exploration of those takes, recorded immediately after my deck artist, Colin Alexander, and I completed a full unboxing of the deck. An unboxing obviously makes for a terrible audio-version of a podcast so this week they\'re completely separate.

To celebrate the occasion, I had two options: The first was to hold a big party and then slip on a magic ring mid-speech, vanishing before your very eyes. The second was to invite onto the show perhaps the most-requested guest, John Michael Greer.
And really this timed very well because John has a new book out called The Occult Philosophy Workbook: A One Year Course In The Secret Wisdom. Plus we\'re looking at a whole new year a few days away. Plus we\'re doing a very special six month premium member course at the beginning of next year called The Foundations which -as the name suggests- is a comprehensive course on all the foundational magical practices from setting up altars to casting circles to scrying and all of that. I\'ll be taking you through exactly how I do All The Things.
So with all this going on, John and I have a conversation at the Venn overlap of all these territories: What are the essential skills of a (broadly speaking \'Western\') magician and have they changed over time?

Firstly, the rest of the \'series\' in which this show would reside, were it a post.
Secondly, the Parenti lecture, its inspiring TMBS clip, and a bit from Ben Burgis on populism and liberal scolds:
Jupiter is still in Capricorn. One way of being with this is to see him as a teacher of hard truths. The other side of that is that you are or should be learning just what it takes to run the world. To administer the physical plane. To see how the sausages are made and what they are made of. The great teacher has shined a light and I worry that some of you shut your eyes. Open them, please. This is very serious now.
Next is Charles Eisenstein, and an excerpt from his conspiracy essay.
\\u201cConspiracy theory\\u201d has become a term of political invective, used to disparage any view that diverges from mainstream beliefs. Basically, any critique of dominant institutions can be smeared as conspiracy theory. There is actually a perverse truth in this smear. For example, if you believe that glyphosate is actually dangerous to human and ecological health, then you also must, if you are logical, believe that Bayer/Monsanto is suppressing or ignoring that information, and you must also believe that the government, media, and scientific establishment are to some extent complicit in that suppression. Otherwise, why are we not seeing NYT headlines like, \\u201cMonsanto whistleblower reveals dangers of glyphosate\\u201d?
Information suppression can happen without deliberate orchestration. Throughout history, hysterias, intellectual fads, and mass delusions have come and gone spontaneously. This is more mysterious than the easy conspiracy explanation admits. An unconscious coordination of action can look very much like a conspiracy, and the boundary between the two is blurry. Consider the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) fraud that served as a pretext for the invasion of Iraq. Maybe there were people in the Bush administration who knowingly used the phony \\u201cyellowcake\\u201d document to call for war; maybe they just wanted very much to believe the documents were genuine, or maybe they thought, \\u201cWell, this is questionable but Saddam must have WMD, and even if he doesn\\u2019t, he wants them, so the document is basically true\\u2026\\u201d People easily believe what serves their interests or fits their existing worldview.
In a similar vein, the media needed little encouragement to start beating the war drums. They knew what to do already, without having to receive instructions. I don\\u2019t think very many journalists actually believed the WMD lie. They pretended to believe, because subconsciously, they knew that was the establishment narrative. That was what would get them recognized as serious journalists. That\\u2019s what would give them access to power. That is what would allow them to keep their jobs and advance their careers. But most of all, they pretended to believe because everyone else was pretending to believe. It is hard to go against the zeitgeist.
The British scientist Rupert Sheldrake told me about a talk he gave to a group of scientists who were working on animal behaviour at a prestigious British University. He was talking about his research on dogs that know when their owners are coming home, and other telepathic phenomena in domestic animals. The talk was received with a kind of polite silence. But in the following tea break all six of the senior scientists who were present at the seminar came to him one by one, and when they were sure that no one else was listening told him they had had experiences of this kind with their own animals, or that they were convinced that telepathy is a real phenomenon, but that they could not talk to their colleagues about this because they were all so straight. When Sheldrake realised that all six had told him much the same thing, he said to them, \\u201cWhy don\\u2019t you guys come out? You\\u2019d all have so much more fun!\\u201d He says that when he gives a talk at a scientific institution there are nearly always scientists who approach him afterwards telling him they\\u2019ve had personal experiences that convince them of the reality of psychic or spiritual phenomena but that they can\\u2019t discuss them with their colleagues for fear of being thought weird.
This is not a deliberate conspiracy to suppress psychic phenomena. Those six scientists didn\\u2019t convene beforehand and decide to suppress information they knew was real. They keep their opinions to themselves because of the norms of their subculture, the basic paradigms that delimit science, and the very real threat of damage to their careers. The persecution and calumny directed at Sheldrake himself demonstrates what happens to a scientist who is outspoken in his dissent from official scientific reality. So, we might still say that a conspiracy is afoot, but its perpetrator is a culture, a system, and a story.
The Conspiracy Myth - Charles Eisenstein
Lastly but the opposite of leastly, is Whitney Webb talking about the next three or four months. (And if you are a premium member, this goes well with yesterday\'s Q&A with Alison McDowell.)
