Get ready to understand Gnosticism in novel ways as April DeConick arrives at the Virtual Alexandria. She will discuss her new book, Comparing Christianities: An Introduction to Early Christianity. Indeed, we’ll gain new, startling understandings of the genesis of Christianity, but we’ll focus on Gnostic thinkers and sects that pierced the hologram with their dangerous ideas. From Serpent Gnostics to Valentinus, you’ll find insights for your own worldview and spirituality.
The Mandaeans are the last remaining Gnostic sect from antiquity, today a living religion full of folklore and magic. Recent scholarship reveals that their views are closer to ancient Gnosticism than ever assumed. The Mandaean cosmology, theology, and pantheon could have come out of Nag Hammadi library itself or from the mouth of the Prophet Mani. We deeply mine the Mandaean ethos and culture for breathtaking insights that can be useful to any modern practitioner of mysticism; this includes the enigmatic Mandean relation to the Knights Templar, John the Baptist, and primordial magical systems. Lastly, we learn about the tenuous Mandaean plight in the Middle East after several wars in Iraq and the rise of Isis—a microcosm of the continuing story of the Gnostic against the furious hate of orthodoxy throughout history.

The Gnostic nightmare seems to have come true in modern times. Humanity suffers under oppressive, surveillance, and stagnant systems, ruled by godlike overlords that stifle creativity and individuality. As some have said, it’s Philip K. Dick world. How did this happen and what can be done to break the bonds of the Archons? Our guest offers solutions and insights into dissolving the veils of the Matrix and restoring Sophia. Beyond Gnosis for the ages, we find that 2017 is indeed a year of the Apocalypse — while 2018 brings possibility but also more psychic death in the forms of transhumanism, transgenics, and a holographic geopolitical world. No one gets out of here sane.

What is a witch and what is a witch in the context of modern culture? Who is the Divine Feminine and is she returning to a world burning with hostile solar forces? We answer these charged questions and go deep into understanding how everyone can unleash their inner witch with the right contemplation, attitude, and magical living. From the empowerment of Lilith to the resourcefulness of Aphrodite, we call upon ancient archetypes that lead to wholeness. Lastly, we explore the Gnostic Sophia, past and present, and how her fall and redemption can work for your own liberation. As Donovan sang, must be the season of the witch.

We explore the weirdly wonderful intersection of Esoteric Judaism and Gnosticism. This magical mystery tour takes us to visit:
• Ancient Merkabah Mysticism and the Book of Enoch
• The origins of the Gnostics and the Nag Hammadi library
• Renowned Kabbalists like Isaac Luria and Sabbatia Zevi
• The theological innovations of Gnostic Jewish movements like Frankism.
Like Queen sang, it’s a kinda magic…and it's unique when these two traditions overlap for spiritual liberation.

Narcissism and Psychopathy, Individual and Collective
It’s a mad world, as the song goes. But how mad is it, Donnie Darko? We take a clinical and esoteric view of destructive mental disorders like narcissism, psychopathy, BPD, and codependency. This exploration includes seeing how the Gnostics accurately detailed so many mental disorders in their myths. Ultimately, we find an alarming rise in mental diseases creating dangerous egregores seeking to wipe out today’s society. Don’t worry: we will get into the solutions.

We've hosted some of the chief mythicists on the program to prove Jesus is nothing more than another incarnation of Dionysus, Osiris and other rising/dying godmen. We now allow a defense for the reality that there might have been an itinerant, Galilean preacher in the first century whose words changed history. Using textual evidence, archeology and historical data, we travel far and wide for the historical Jesus and what happened to his movement. And why did history move so slowly, besides Paul, in understanding his message of spiritual liberation. Lastly, we revisit the Shroud of Turin and the evidence it might be authentic.

Film producer, inventor, and esotericists Gail Lynn joined us to find ways to reclaim the lost arts of healing – from ancient Hermetic lore to holistic light therapy (and everything in between). As western culture gets sicker, mentally and physically, we’re overdue to integrate alternative modalities to our way of life. She also shared on how innovative technology can incorporate arcane wellness. For reasons you’ll see, we covered a lot on America’s greatest shaman: Elvis Presley. No more being caught in the trap of archons.

We uncover the historical writings, myths, and rituals surrounding the Goddess in Pagan, Witchcraft, and Wiccan traditions. This exploration includes dispelling many Goddess misconceptions plaguing today’s Occultism. From The Golden Bough to The Book of the Law to Witchcraft Today, we will understand how the Goddess movement has progressed. By jailbreaking the true essence of the Divine Feminine, new insights and exercises will be found for a more immersive devotional experience.
