For some reason my about-to-be-released book The King in Orange: The Magical and Occult Roots of Political Power is getting more than the usual amount of interest from the podcasting community. (Partly the publisher, Inner Traditions, is doing a very good job of scaring up prospects, but I think it's more than that.) Here's the latest, a two hour interview with Miguel at Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio; the first half is free, the second is for subscribers. We had a good lively talk; Miguel's summary is spot on: "This birds-eye view of archetypal/magical influences taps into the ideas of Robert Chambers, CG Jung, Ioan Culiano, Giordano Bruno, Oswald Spengler, and other magicians of the mind. The empire is collapsing, you see, and it’s a choice of becoming sacrificial victims or connecting with overlooked divinities and the land itself."

Date: 2021-05-20 03:31 pm (UTC)Also, something I've made note of; any public thinker or intellectual I consider worth paying attention to right now has appeared at least once on Miguel's Aeon Byte podcast, which I've been following for years now. Miguel is one of those people who has the rare gift of being able to gab amiably with people of a whole assortment of different perspectives and attitudes.

Date: 2021-05-21 03:56 pm (UTC)There is a fairly intense and seemingly healthy spiritual substrate to Russian culture/society. It's unutilized outside of physical culture type movements at the moment, and more obvious problems currently cover it over. I've seen some really innovative stuff in martial arts from there, that unfortunately never seems to make it west. There is a thriving occult underground that the church, hilariously, seems more wary of than opposed to. The culture is already distinctive enough that some people are willing to argue they aren't "really" European; so it isn't difficult, for me at least, to imagine that as the basis of a new civilization.

Date: 2021-05-21 05:35 am (UTC)Seriously though, it was certainly strange reading about the four income-driven American class divisions, Hillary Clinton's unparalleled ineptitude, and Appalachian mountain dulcimers in a high-pitched baby friendly voice to a gurgling, snuggling infant, but I'm fairly certain no one sprouted any tentacles (that I noticed). He's likely to be assigned that book anyway in a dozen or fifteen years as part of his school curriculum (we're a homeschool family through and through) as part of a unit devoted to understanding what eldritch ingredients were flung into the bizarre cauldron that's boiling into the world he's fated to grow up in...
