The Whole Rabbit

Luke Madrid

The weekly occult podcast diving into the deep end of mythology, high-strangeness and religion. A show for seekers upon the path and wanderers of the outer abyss. Where others stay surface level, we go deep into the rabbit holes of demonolatry, chaos magick, gnosticism Thelema, Aleister Crowley, fallen angels, the ars goetia, MKULTRA, the black cross of Saturn and of course Ancient Egypt.

    Ghost Lore: Spirits of Christendom & the Fires of Purgatory

Along the way we discuss how indulgences helped pave the way for the reformation and how Tibbie Mortimer disguised herself as a ghost for love. In the extended side of the show we discuss how to create your own custom ghost, ghost fire, inappropriate ghost bread, Truckstop Shintoism, doppelgangers, the devil’s footprints and the mysterious case of the Winchester Mystery Mansion.

    GHOST LORE: Roman Necromancy and the Shades of Ancient Greece

    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we explore the well-documented history of ghosts as they were recorded in classical Greek and Roman culture, owing to older motifs that originated in Sumeria. In the free side of the show we discuss Greek skepticism, spooky Roman holidays to propitiate the dead and an eerily vivid description of Thessalian necromancer Erichtho including a lengthy example of her method of invocation. I probably cursed myself reading. In the extended show we discuss the classical relationship between ghosts and dreams, the restless shades that dead Roman Emperors tend to produce, a revenant love story and what it means when the specter happens to be an enormous woman. Thank you and enjoy the show. In this week’s episode we discuss: Ancient Sumerian Afterlife  Roman Ghost Rituals and Ghost Holidays Ancient Ghost Hauntings  Necromancy: Erichto of Thessaly  Ancient Skepticism: Lucian of Samosata Pliny the Younger’s Accounts of Ghosts  In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further and discuss: Dream Visitations Restless Roman Emperors A Revenant Love Story Warning Apparitions Where to Invoke Achilles   This episode was written by Tim Hacker and Luke Madrid with additional commentaries by Heka Astra and Mari Sama Where to find The Whole Rabbit: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAV Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbit Twitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbit Order Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbit Other Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/ Music By Spirit Travel Plaza: https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0Yo Sources: All About History: History of Ghosts: Featuring Over 55 of the World's Most Famous Ghosts https://www.amazon.com/dp/1805214942?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_9PD5K4HEMNQ52W63XDAD&bestFormat=true GREEK AND ROMAN GHOST STORIES BY LACY COLLISON-MORLEY https://a.co/d/0bFBEHKl Erichto https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/PharsaliaVImaster.php Support the show

    Kane Parson's "The Backrooms" Decoded: The Blasted Tower & The Red City (level 2)

    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we accomplish part 2 of our deep dive into the sickly yellow abyss of Kane Parson’s Backrooms to reveal the unthinkably dense amount of symbolism, mythology and religious allegory lurking just beneath the surface. In the free side of the show we discuss how Mary’s shadow can be related to The Wheel of Fortune and the Blasted Tower of the Tarot expanding on the themes already present and giving dimension to Backroom's lore outside the film. In the extended show we discuss Ivan Beck, the Red City, Odin, the Tower of Babylon, the Voyager Disk, The Qlippoth of Kabbalistic Tree of Death and even the Gnostic Demiurge because damn it, Kane Parsons go so hard with easter eggs and clever symbolism I think we may need to determine if he is actually a Moonchild created by Aleister Crowley himself. Thank you and enjoy the show!  In this week’s episode we discuss: The Formation of the Psychological Shadow The Wheel of Fortune Palm Reading Mother-Daughter Complex  The Blasted Tower  The Purpose of the Psychological Shadow The Tower of Babel  The Red City The Glorious Sun Face Ivan Beck In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further into the Backrooms than anyone else (at least I’m pretty sure) and discuss: A Sync and Odin Fault of Memory The Qlippoth: Kabbalistic Tree of Death Still-Lives Ein Soph The Gnostic Demiurge: Yaldabaoth Barbelo and The Pleroma … and more….  This episode was written by Tim Hacker and Luke Madrid with additional commentaries by Heka Astra and Mari Sama Where to find The Whole Rabbit: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAV Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbit Twitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbit Order Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbit Other Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/ Music By Spirit Travel Plaza: https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0Yo Support the show

    Kane Parson's "The Backrooms" Decoded: The Wheel of Samsara (level 1)

    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we grab our “They Live” glasses and descend down into Kane Parson’s summer blockbuster horror hit: “The Backrooms” to explore its clever symbolic use of Jungian archetypes and Eastern mysticism to create a cerebral and spooky allegory with the same narrative depth we find in masterpieces like Kubrick’s The Shining, Lynch’s Twin Peaks or Owaku’s Silent Hill 2 but with a retrowave drip that weaponizes nostalgia in a tour of the collective unconscious with obscure doorways straight into Buddhist hell. In the free side of the show we discuss Clark and the symbolism that haunts him, the Backrooms and his shadow; breaking down what it has to do with the infinite, changing and cyclical nature of the Backrooms itself. In the extended side of the show we discuss the Capn Carl, Tarot symbolism, the shadow of the retrowave aesthetic and how the Backrooms are a perfect allegory for the Bardos of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Join us next week for part 2. That gives you a whole other week to go watch the movie before listening! Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week’s episode we discuss: Origins of the Backrooms Clark Character Analysis Water Symbolism  The Helm and the Wheel of Karma Samsara, Maya and Dukkha The Biology of Memory and Repetition Bird symbolism Carl Jung’s Psychological Shadow In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go deeper down the rabbit hole to discuss: Black Mirrors  Descending Into the Unconscious Weaponizing Nostalgia and the Retrowave Aesthetic Tarot: Two of Swords Gematria Davey Jones Locker Mary and the Window Navigating the Bardos  This episode was written by Tim Hacker, Mari Sama and Luke Madrid with additional commentaries by Heka Astra.  Where to find The Whole Rabbit: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAV Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbit Twitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbit Order Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbit Other Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/ Music By Spirit Travel Plaza: https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0Yo Support the show

    DMT Laser Experiments & The Code of Reality

    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s show we finally take a glimpse at what psychonaught Danny Goller has been trying to tell us for years; that if you smoke enough DMT and stare at a diffused laser you can see the code of reality. After talking about how Danny figured it out, we discuss why such a strange idea might not only make sense but falls in line with cutting edge research and a long tradition in the West of combining cutting edge optics and spirit communication to advance our understanding of reality. We even get into how Danny says to do the experiment… which we do not endorse, condone or promote in any way because drugs are bad and I am not responsible for any damage you do to your eyes while on them. In the extended show we discuss what spirit conjuring wizards throughout history have a strangely concordant interest in the field of optics, the bizarrely specific experiences shared by participants and what kind of strange entities are most contacted while a user is on DMT. We discuss the Back Rooms, the City of Pyramids and the occult reason why the entities that reside there might be hideous clown creatures. Thank you and enjoy the show.  On this week’s show we discuss: Danny Goller Rick Strassman’s “The Spirit Molecule”  ECCO the Dolphin Dose Dependent Effects  How to do the experiment  Snell’s Law In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit hole and discuss: Optics and Wizardry in the West How do lasers work? Shared experiences  DMT entities Lila City of Pyramids  This episode was written by Luke Madrid, Heka Astra and Mari Sama with additional commentary by Tim Hacker.

    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we are joined once again by Julian Soloninka, better yet known as Julian the Philosopher to discuss his provocative insights into Cyberpunk Metaphysics; which we discuss in its germinal stages under the inspired headspace of Alan Watts, Alduous Huxley and Gregory Bateson. In the first half of the episode we discuss the impact Alan Watts and Gregory Bateson had on cyberpunk and its corresponding philosophies while investigating the role they played as secret agents each with respective ties to three letter agencies before asking ourselves if we were to meet them on Homerian or Platonic footing. In the extended side of the show we continue our discussion with Julian and discuss prominent author, philosopher and psychonaught, Alduous Huxley; his connection to Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Death of Cleopatra and what it all has to do with Philip K. Dick’s theophany. Thank you and enjoy the show!  Check out Julian the Philosopher’s most recent work: https://medium.com/@jsolonin In this week’s episode we discuss: What is cyberpunk metaphysics?

On this week’s episode Tim Hacker leads us on a discussion of the occult powers of telepathy and clairvoyance as described by turn of the century new-thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson under his pseudonym Swami Panchadasi. Best known for his authorship of the Kybalion, Atkinson breaks down in plain English the straight dope concerning basic psychic ability from vague impressions or weird synchronicities we all have experienced right up into their fully evolved form as telepathic sense and even astral projection. In the free half of the show we discuss the difference between telepathy and clairvoyance, how it manifests, how to cultivate it, what its capable of achieving and the dodgy business of seeing the past by touching other people’s personal property. In this extended side of the show we discuss crystal gazing, scrying, the use of drugs in ritual, controlling psychic senses, creating psychic links and other things we’re not supposed to talk about in public.
