Mithras is a misunderstood and overlooked god. This deity and his cult have been a leading force in the rise and fall of empires, as well as the architects of world religions that exist even today. Just as astounding, the Gnostic stream of Mithraism has been equally influential in the engineering of cultures. From original Buddhism to the Carpocratians, from the Mazdakites to the Assassins, we encounter a Gnosticism more radical and Promethean than ever imagined, fueled by a supreme God above all gods.

Despite their individualistic vibe, magical movements like Thelema are primarily focused on community and group-support. We explore how to find an occult community, optimize group rituals, and whether occult organizations can thrive online. Can magic and Gnosis exist in virtual realms? This search includes understanding the history and evolution of group magick rituals, from Aleister Crowley to Lon Milo DuQuette, as well as the future of occult rites in the digital age.

With the passing of a dear friend and great scholar, Acharya, I decided to bring back permanently an interview I conducted with her in 2011. The interview was solely her idea. It never received the attention or traffic as her other discussions on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. It might be her most poignant talk. In her own words, Acharya S. relates her views on death and dying. More than that, she talks about how to truly live.
Please consider donating to her family. Her immediate family is in need of support to cover funeral costs and many more expenses. You can donate here by purchasing her e-books at http://www.stellarhousepublishing.com/acharyapdfs.html. Her family will get 100% of your donation and you will receive digital copies of her e-books.

We intimately understand the events and processes that allowed CG Jung and JRR Tolkien to enter the Imaginal. Can we access those creative energies and charged symbols from the realm of archetypes to alchemically transform ourselves and the surrounding culture for the better? Our quest into the minds of these magicians of the imagination leads us as well to discover the deeper meanings in such hallowed works as The Lord of the Rings and The Red Book.

We take an alchemical examination of several classic texts in a search for hidden layers of meaning. These meanings are unlocked through a series of easy to follow steps, using a variety of steganographic and cryptographic techniques — as well as the insights of Gurdjieff and the I Ching. The message in fairy tales, Gnostic & Christian Gospels, and the works of Plato contain actual, undeniable information encoded into the texts ages ago. Their existence challenges everything we thought we knew about these texts, including our basic understanding of the Bible itself.

Matt was kind enough to allow me to use his narration of the Gnostic Tarot. More than a narration, it's an ethereal journey into understanding Gnostic luminaries and their own journeys.

Not only might have he given you fits in your high school geometry class, this mysterious figure coined the word philosophy, was initiated in the Orphic & Egyptian Mysteries, understood the universe as a harmony of music, math and magic, and founded perhaps the first egalitarian, ascetic cadre of freethinkers in the West. He influenced most of the greatest philosophers of Greece including Plato. Whether in history and in legendry, this man is the grandfather of most esoteric schools of thought our culture. You know him simply as Pythagoras.
Astral Guest: Charles H. Kahn., author of Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans: A Brief History and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania.

Get ready for a comprehensive overview of John Dee’s life and work— including the sage’s scientific achievements, intelligence and spy work, imperial strategizing, and Enochian Magick. This establishes John Dee as a singular force and driver of Western history, as well as a profound influence on modern occultism. Our exploration of Dee’s legacy includes the magical innovations of Aleister Crowley and the manic genius of Jack Parsons. From making contact with Babalon to the coming of new aeons, we are Dee-lighted on these current magical times that might be nothing more than an angel apocalypse.
