    Yes hello! In the latest episode of Ultraculture, join Jason Louv as he sits down with Jezmina Von Thiele and Paulina Stevens, co-hosts of the Romanistan Podcast, to delve into the rich and often misunderstood world of Romani culture and fortune-telling. In this thought-provoking episode, Jezmina and Paulina share their unique journeys as Romani women who have turned their cultural heritage into a platform for education and empowerment.

The episode also explores the nuances of divination, with Jezmina and Paulina offering insights into whether psychic abilities are innate or can be cultivated through practice. They delve into the balance between public visibility and cultural security, candidly sharing their experiences advocating for Romani culture while respecting family concerns. Listeners are invited to learn more about this vibrant community and their work by visiting romanistanpodcast.com.

    Ep. 214: Richard Metzger on His New MAGICK SHOW Documentary

    Richard Metzger is a television host, author, and the creative mind behind the provocative TV show Disinformation, which aired on Channel 4 in the UK. He was also my first boss out of college, when I worked for him as the books editor at the Disinformation Company; we later co-founded the website Dangerous Minds together with other friends. Richard was a formative mentor in my early career, and he and his co-founder Gary Baddeley were responsible for launching it by greenlighting my first book Generation Hex (at the tender age of 21!) in 2003. Richard's latest project Magick Show is a documentary designed by occultists for occultists, and is currently Kickstarting. The project aims to explore the world of modern occultism through in-depth conversations with over 50 leading figures in the field, including authors, scholars, and practicing magicians.  Richard and I hadn't talked in about a decade, but had a really great (and very, very high) time catching up and talking about magick, Richard's new project, and the state of the world. You're very much going to enjoy this long overdue conversation. Make sure to check out Magick Show on Kickstarter - only a few days remain!

    Becoming Baba Yaga With Kris Spisak

    Yes hello! In the latest episode of Ultraculture, join Jason Louv in conversation with Kris Spisak as she explores the folklore of the trickster, villain, and rescuer known as Baba Yaga in a new light.   When darkness, fear, and instability inundate our daily lives, folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existenceโ€”the hope and the horror, the magic and the mundane. At once an old hag and an enchantress, a demon and wish granter, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale, Baba Yaga is an endlessly complex folktale character.   Becoming Baba Yaga provides an in-depth look at the Baba Yaga mythos and history through Slavic folklore. Filled with historical and cultural context, analyses, and the stories themselves that add depth to the conversation. A comprehensive resource for anyone hoping to learn more about this ambiguous character and how her multifaceted presence still ripples through the present day, Becoming Baba Yaga is as thoughtful as it is illuminating.   Spisak explores Baba Yagaโ€™s connection to nature as an Earth goddess and as an herbalist. She also delves into the Shadow Self and Baba Yagaโ€™s aspect as a trickster and places her in a modern context as not merely a witch of the woods but also as an archetype and force for finding your own path. Becoming Baba Yaga shares how she is both a force for good as much as evil and a feminist before her time.

    Gary Lachman, renowned writer and historian of Western esoteric tradition, shares his insights and experiences in his new book, Maurice Nicoll: Forgotten Teacher of the Fourth Way. This book delves into the life and teachings of Maurice Nicoll, a relatively obscure yet fascinating figure who bridged the ideas of Carl Jung, G.I. Gurdjieff, and Immanuel Swedenborg. Gary elaborates on the principles of the Fourth Way, developed by Gurdjieff, which integrates methods from various spiritual traditions to cultivate a higher state of consciousness in everyday life. Exploring Nicollโ€™s contributions, Gary discusses the implications of his extensive dream diaries and his unique approach to sacred sexuality. He highlights how Nicollโ€™s early work with Jung and later fascination with Swedenborg influenced his spiritual development and teachings, enriching his interpretation of esoteric Christianity. The conversation reflects on the relevance of Nicollโ€™s teachings in todayโ€™s world, considering the contemporary spiritual landscape and the ongoing quest for personal development and higher consciousness. Gary also shares his personal experiences and anecdotes from his involvement in the Gurdjieff Foundation, offering listeners a firsthand account of the practical application of the Fourth Way principles. He explores the controversial and lesser-known aspects of Nicollโ€™s work, including his radical insights that have made a significant impact on his followers and the spiritual community. In a stimulating conversation, Gary and Jason bridge historical esoteric practices with modern spiritual exploration, offering a profound understanding of Maurice Nicollโ€™s contributions to the Fourth Way and beyond. They discuss the importance of self-remembering and the harmonious development of man, highlighting the enduring significance of Nicollโ€™s teachings in the pursuit of higher consciousness. Enjoy the show!

Reflecting on her encounters in Israel, India, and Europe, she unpacks the impact of diverse spiritual traditions on her understanding of self-realization, shaping a holistic perspective on personal development.   In a stimulating conversation, Erin parallels Eastern and Western spiritual concepts, bridging connections between Jewish mysticism, Eastern practices like yoga, and advocating for nuanced understanding in conflicts like the Israeli-Palestinian dynamics.

    Ep. 209: Scarlet Imprint's Alkistis Dimech & Peter Grey in THE LAST ULTRACULTURE PODCAST

    Welcome to THE LAST ULTRACULTURE PODCAST EVER! Because we are totally getting cancelled for this and I don't give a flying f***. Not one! The legendary Alkistis Dimech & Peter Grey of the Scarlet Imprint publishing house join the show to talk about the Israel/Hamas war, the growth of Islamism, the role of Thelema in revitalizing the dying Western project, and the rise of the goddess BABALON as a rallying call to all magical practitioners. This is a doozy of a conversation, and probably my favorite episode of all time. Strap in!
