Astrologer and YouTuber Cam White joins the show this week to bring some helpful reframing to the space weather we'll all be enduring over the next few years. We discuss: ➡ How astrology works ➡ The role of a fortune teller in troubled times ➡ What sort of conflicts and wars are likely to appear when ➡ Whether the so-called Barbault Basket configuration ushers in a new golden age or not. Super fun and spicy times. Enjoy the White Pill! 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 Cam's website https://camwhiteastro.com/ Cam on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/camwhite Context on the Barbault Basket from S.J.

Author, activist and educator, Dougald Hine returns to the show this week for a discussion that is simultaneously timely and timeless. If you’ve been following along on the blog, you’ll know that I have been wrestling with how to say things, with whom and to what end given how the world is going. One of the topics I had been meaning to record on for months now was the resurgence of Christianity: whether it is surprising or not, whether it is automatically reactionary, whether it is a sign of things improving or devolving. And I tried coming at that from several angles including recording a whole solo show before leaving Paraguay on the topic that I didn’t release but found none of them were satisfactory. Then I messaged Dougald about it and it turns out it’s an area he is also exploring, both personally and ‘culturally’ (whatever that means) right now. Plus, he’s something of an aficionado of the works of Ivan Illich -whose insight is especially useful in these times. So he graciously agreed to come back on the show to prove the point that two heads are definitely better than one. We explore the possible why of Christianity’s resurgence, who ‘owns’ it and what happens if we don’t engage, plus its different forms and mutations. Then we turn to Ivan Illich himself: beginning with a biography and an overview of his thought, before finishing with what he might have to say about these very strange times we are living through. (And depending on when you catch this episode, there is still time to get in on some Illich discussions with Dougald. Details in the show notes. 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 Dougald’s Substack.

This week I had been meaning to do a World Without Sin solo show on the censorship laws rolling out around the world and their implications. Then, as we all know by now, whatever is going on with Russell Brand started happening, so we begin our story there. (It’s worth noting I recorded this about 24 hours ago, before YouTube demonetised his channel.) Today’s episode is a bit of a read-along, talking you through some of the coverage of our looming techno-dystopia, finishing off with what we can do about it. 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 Rune Soup on Odysee https://odysee.com/@runesoup:5 Rune Soup on Rumble https://rumble.com/c/runesoup A censorship event hosted by none other than Russel Brand https://rumble.com/v2x5x8y-exposing-the-censorship-industrial-complex-part-1-158-stay-free-with-russel.html 🔼🔼 WHAT NEXT?🔼🔼 ✅ Sign up to the newsletter so you never miss a podcast or blog post: https://runesoup.com/emails/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Premium Membership for hundreds of hours of magical training: https://runesoup.com/join-rune-soup/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Telegram Group: https://t.me/runesoupchat ✅ Book a shamanic healing session with Gordon: https://runesoup.com/shamanic-energy-healing/ 🔼🔼ABOUT RUNE SOUP🔼🔼 Rune Soup is a podcast channel that platforms the most important discussions at the cutting edge of magic, animism and spirit work.

Greg Carlwood returns to the show for another instalment of the book club nobody asked for! We explore the best alternative medicine perhaps 'true healing' or 'actually effective' is better books that we know of. Nutrition, breathwork, light therapy, terrain theory, energy healing. It's all here, baby. Greg has spent years interviewing some of the leading lights in what allopathy absurdly calls 'alternative' healing on The Higherside Chats. So this is a really comprehensive exploration. Your wish list will have grown by the time this episode is done, that's for sure. 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 The Higherside Chats https://www.thehighersidechats.com/ 🔼🔼 WHAT NEXT?🔼🔼 ✅ Sign up to the newsletter so you never miss a podcast or blog post: https://runesoup.com/emails/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Premium Membership for hundreds of hours of magical training: https://runesoup.com/join-rune-soup/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Telegram Group: https://t.me/runesoupchat ✅ Book a shamanic healing session with Gordon: https://runesoup.com/shamanic-energy-healing/ 🔼🔼ABOUT RUNE SOUP🔼🔼 Rune Soup is a podcast channel that platforms the most important discussions at the cutting edge of magic, animism and spirit work.

One of my favourite guests returns to the show this week for a scintillating and freewheeling dive into the perennial question of whether there are aliens in the Bible. Author, researcher, psychonaut and hypnotist Danny Nemu. The impetus for this discussion is a book and a thesis that’s been translated out of Italian and into English relatively recently: Mauro Biglino’s Gods of The Bible. Speaking of translation, for years, Mauro was a translator of Biblical texts for the Vatican’s official publisher. Over the course of that work, he began to have questions about this term, ‘Elohim’, and all the other strange stuff that’s in there. So he decided to translate the Old Testament literally and what emerges is alien beings and flying saucers and all that classic Ancient Aliens fare. A few people started asking me about the Biglino hypothesis, and then Mauro himself was on Graham Hancock’s podcast. And then, Graham’s son Luke quoted from one of Danny’s books in the same podcast. Danny was the person whose take on the hypothesis I most wanted to hear because of his work on the presence of entheogens and drugs in the Bible. So that was enough of a sign for me to repeatedly peer-pressure him into buying and reading the book so we could talk about it. Anyway, he graciously obliged. So here is a Star.Ships meets ‘are there drugs in the Bible’ take on aliens, the power of language, the use of metaphor, literalism as spells and a whole lot more. Super excited for this one. Enjoy! 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 Danny Nemu’s website. https://www.dannynemu.com/ Mauro Biglino’s YouTube channel, which gives a really good overview of his thesis. https://www.youtube.com/@MauroBiglinoOfficialChannel My AI-generated presentation on the life and work of Zechariah Sitchin. https://gamma.app/public/Zecharia-Sitchin-Life-and-Work-jwy3fge07e9b1o4?mode=doc My AI-generated presentation on Owen Barfield’s thesis on the origin of language. https://gamma.app/docs/Owen-Barfield-A-Study-of-Language-and-Consciousness-dc4cf0bvtun5cm2?mode=doc 🔼🔼 WHAT NEXT?🔼🔼 ✅ Sign up to the newsletter so you never miss a podcast or blog post: https://runesoup.com/emails/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Premium Membership for hundreds of hours of magical training: https://runesoup.com/join-rune-soup/ ✅ Join the Rune Soup Telegram Group: https://t.me/runesoupchat ✅ Book a shamanic healing session with Gordon: https://runesoup.com/shamanic-energy-healing/ 🔼🔼ABOUT RUNE SOUP🔼🔼 Rune Soup is a podcast channel that platforms the most important discussions at the cutting edge of magic, animism and spirit work.
