Rune Soup Gordon

Hadean Press's Erzebet Barthold returns to the show this week, on the occasion of the release of Cyprian's Offices of the Spirits -the posthumously published final volume in Jake Stratton-Kent's Night School.
We talk about goetia, we talk about the sublunar, we talk about English Qaballa -all the Jake hits, really.
And, inevitably, we reminisce about the man himself:
His main ideas and contributions. Who influenced him and who he influenced. What future generations will make of his work. Who he was as a friend and a person. All in all, a lovely chat, and especially timely as the snappily-titled  premium member course Grimoires: Our Greek Inheritance (The Jake Edit) starts this weekend!

Coming to you from the shores of Lake Titicaca! Some lessons on how to get good at magic, specifically sigil magic, learned on the road in Bolivia.
The short answer is your first hundred sigils will teach you more about magic than any book ever will. The long answer is.... this podcast.
Here I share my notes and observations from spending time in mountaintop villages with lineaged shamans descending directly from the Incas, San Pedro ceremonies in the mountains and client encounters in the Witches Market in La Paz.
We talk about:

Desire cross-currents Incorporating oracle cards into your enchantments How to REALLY 'forget' about your spells so they actually come off.
Show Notes How To Make Magical Sigils: A COMPETE Beginners Guide. The Missing Witches fundraiser is back this year!

Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio's Miguel Conner returns to the show this week for an in-depth unpacking of claims made by Jordan Peterson, James Lindsay and others in the online Right that Marxism is actually Gnosticism.
We look at
The origins of these claims. Exactly WHERE and HOW they are wrong. The origins of Gnosticism. The 'true' origins of 'woke' thought. We also explore some possible points of consent with the analysis Jordan Peterson presents regarding Lucifer and the archetypal significance of clowns, jesters and evil.
Many thanks to Miguel for coming back on the show again. I have actually tried several different ways of doing this topic as a solo show since catching the discussion between Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay back in June of 2023. But imagine trying to have a discussion on the history of Gnosticism without Miguel?
Turns out that was the very obvious unlock I needed all along. Enjoy!
Show Notes Catch Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio here. This is the video examining Jordan Peterson's shadow projection that I mention during the show.  

This week's episode is an installment in the long-running World Without Sin series, examining how we respond to monolithic media and how not every outsider is a plucky freedom fighter.

We also look at how and why it might be that all forms of expression are collapsing into a meme singularity and what this might have to do with the jester archetype.

After that there is a life update and a travel magic story. And then -on the video version only- we have a Q&A where we speculate on the whereabouts of Kate Middleton, what's really going on with Boeing, healing from trauma patterns and G. K. Chesterton.
Also, I promised I'd share some of the memes that were hard to convey in audio format, but instead, I am just sharing a link to the presentation from the livestream. It's all here if you're interested.

The show notes are just some other things that are coming up or going on, because why not?
Peter Grey's talk at Occulture Berlin 2023: Atomic Gods: Magick beyond the nuclear horizon. J. F. Martel of Weird Studies has a new course coming up this months on the films of Stanley Kubrick. This Missing Witches fundraiser that Rune Soup listeners contributed so generously is coming back around again. I probably mentioned this one a few weeks too early as I have no detail on prizes and such yet, lol. But the link is here! Hadean Press have just released the final Jake Stratton-Kent book we'll ever get, Cyprian's Offices of Spirits. My own fancy, pre-ordered copy is winging its way to the farm where it is useless to me for the Q2 member course will be Grimoires 2: Your Greek Inheritance (The Jake Edit) as I am currently back in South America. Lol. Anyway, more details on that closer to the date.

Hello from the road!
Just wanted to get out a little solo show of what I have been up to, which also morphed into how to deal with foreseen rather than unforeseen dramas.
We also cover some updates on the Sigil A Day project, and speculate on the development of media and podcasts in our post-Putin-interview World Without Sin.
Enjoy! Chat soon!

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 Mystic and the Machine YouTube channel.
