  4. Portals Pt 1: Magick Gateways, Jungian Symbols & Pop Culture Portals EXPLAINED!

    JUN 1

    Portals Pt 1: Magick Gateways, Jungian Symbols & Pop Culture Portals EXPLAINED!

    On today's episode of the Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt podcast we start a deep dive into Portals! In Part 1 we’ll define the term from the idea of literal gateways to the metaphysical concept of thresholds and how they represent transitions between worlds or unlocking enlightenment through magick rituals using triangles of manifestation and magical circles. We’ll talk about Carl Jung’s symbolism of the portal as a gateway to the subconscious or shadow and we’ll get into the tools used for portals like scrying stones or bathtubs. Finally we’ll run through a ton of pop culture portals you’ve seen in your favorite films like Alice in Wonderland, 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twin Peaks! Stay subscribed to the show for Part 2 where we’ll talk about literal portals- where are they, how are they constructed and who was messing around with these things. I’ll provide examples from Jack Parsons to Britney Spears and Travis Scott before we get into the more modern concepts of portals when it comes to aliens and A.I. where we’ll talk about the CCRU and AI entities crossing over into our world… Links: Stranger Things S1 and S4 analysis series: https://illuminatiwatcher.com/stranger-things-s1-occult-symbolism-of-eleven-mkultra-monolith-stargate-project-monarch/Kobe Bryant's Occult Kids Books: ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED! https://www.illuminatiwatcher.com/kobe-bryants-occult-kids-books-illuminati-confirmedWizard of Oz Esoteric Analysis: L.
