Despite these times of ignorance and anger, alternative spiritualities are surging in America. People are increasingly seeking the benefits of Gnosis and engaging heavily with New Age. Can Gnostic philosophy work in modern times? What are the benefits and challenges of the New Age movement as a whole – like appropriation and merchandising? We find all of this and more, including understanding modern manifestations of occultism like meme magic. Lastly, we recap the Gnostic America Conference and address overlooked esoteric exemplars like Neville Goddard.
Astral Guest — Mitch Horowitz, author of Occult America.

David Block materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to investigate the mercurial Azazel. Is this archon a leader of the fallen angels or the scapegoat demon in the desert? Or both? Is he perhaps just a shadow projection of dark guilt we don’t want to face? He will answer these questions, going deep into Sumerian, Babylonian, and Atlantis lore for startling truths. There is no choice. As Daniel 4:17 states: “This matter is by the decree of the Watchers.”

Sylvia Plath is considered one of history’s greatest poets of modernity. Yet much of her life has been censored by secular forces. The truth is that Plath was steeped in mysticism and occultism: Hermeticism, Kabbalah, pagan magic, astrology, and more. She was a psychic who employed the Tarot and other esoteric disciplines. Julia Gordon-Bramer enters the Virtual Alexandria to share her new book, The Occult Sylvia Plath, and our discussion will also include understanding Plath's literary legacy and the darkness that consumed her.

The foundation of The Inquisition began with the Heresiologists and their polemics against the Gnostics. The tools of the Totalitarian Regimes-- including thought crime, instilling horror in the population and public confessions, just to name a few-- were borrowed from the Church Father in their wars against the Cathars, Manichaeans and Bogomils. Later in history, in a very conscious way, these procedures were utilized by modern fascist and socialist regimes. There has always been an intellectual movement to banish the Gnostics. We reveal that this movement is alive as ever. It's a chilling reality…and they're coming for you sooner than you think...
Astral Guest-- Arthur Versluis, author of The New Inquisition, Restoring Paradise: Western Esotericism, Literature, and Consciousness,Awakening the Contemplative Spirit, as well as editor of Esoterica and Professor of American Studies at Michigan State University.

We had an incredible roundtable with a group of mystics, heretics, therapists, and oriental practitioners. We covered much esoteric ground, including alchemy, Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Jungian therapy, Taoism, ghosts -- all to find mental and spiritual solutions to the dark psychic forces that have settled on western culture. Much of our discussion was based on the book Concerto of the Rising Sun. And for strange reasons, we talked about smoking and pooping right, as well as audiobook voiceovers. Heresy shouldn't be this much fun, but it just is.
Astral Guests: Ram Fec, Erik P. Antoni, Carl Joseph DeMarco, and Graham Dunlop & Darren Grimes from Grimerica.

Cat Rose Neligan materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to help us find that high weirdness, self-knowledge nexus that is the Daemon & Astrology. Are we hopelessly trapped under fate, or can our Higher Self, Guardian Angel, or Spirit Guide assist us in attaining cosmic liberation? She granted us an expansion of high-octane Gnosis from her book, Discovering Your Personal Daimon, and used the life and star charts of Philip K. Dick as a case study (and we’ll cover other famous cats, Cat). And egregrores, we talked about egregores a lot.

I am very excited to chat with producer, artist, and musician RHYME. She’ll share the opening of mystic portals through music and poetry. RHYME will also cover Japanese folklore and art. All this revelation will be under the umbrella of Gnosticism, so you know we’ll deal with liberation from archonic forces and transcending into our orphic, destined self.

The archons shudder as Ola Wolny returns to the Virtual Alexandria. She’ll recap her intriguing ideas on the zodiac as an artificial prison and expand to other topics that include alchemy, the Divine Feminine, and the secrets found in ancient texts. Just as important, Ola will share her views on what the future holds this year and beyond, and the news ain’t good unless you’re grounded in Gnosis. No one here gets out alive.
