Rune Soup

Wait a minute. Gordon of all people is giving advice about what now? Relax. I truly would never dream of it. Think of it more like Advice To A Young Wife From An Old Mistress. It’s a dramatic frame that allows us to explore ways of being with this moment that -oh, just a thought- don’t contribute to a field of war that brings everyone closer to nuclear annihilation while somehow assuming doing so gives one the moral high ground. So it’s not actually (just) for professional astrologers and other fortune tellers. It’s for any of you looking around at the entire planet losing its mind and working out what role -in your profession, in your family, in your friendship group, in your communities- you are being called to step into. It’s my offering to you, delivered in the form of a presentation given to a strictly hypothetical group of professional astrologers. Yeah, it’s long. I mention at the beginning that the personal reason for sharing this is a healing one, and finding transformative ways of being with anger. It will be challenging to watch or listen to for many of you. Healthy anger is a useful warning that situations or people are approaching important boundaries (physical or otherwise). And it is not that it means these boundaries must never be crossed or must always be defended. Anger simply calls you to an urgent awareness that boundary business is afoot. For instance, being wrong about something or some position in which you have invested a lot of emotional energy. When someone points this out or when you begin to realise it yourself, the anger signal is there. But this is probably one instance where you allow that signal to draw your attention to the boundary and, rather than defending it, allow that pent up energy to dissipate across it. I sincerely hope you come to your own understanding of the sentiment in which this presentation is offered, why it is offered at this time, as well as my intention that you find whatever medicine is meant for you in it. **SHOW NOTES*** War and the Hyperreal.

Continuing our revisitations this week, we turn to the archonology series -a long running exploration of power and conspiracy. And you know what? A lot of these have held up pretty well. I especially like how so many of the videos shared in the posts are now gone from YouTube, and how many links have died. It’s like burning the edges of a pirate map. Adds character. https://runesoup.com/2013/03/archonology-things-that-persist-part-1/ https://runesoup.com/2013/04/while-we-pray-for-a-long-summer-archonology-part-2/ https://runesoup.com/2013/04/spook-tech-archonology-part-3/ https://runesoup.com/2013/05/the-money-archonology-part-4/ https://runesoup.com/2013/06/collaborators-archonology/ https://runesoup.com/2013/11/the-weapon-of-the-enemy-an-interlude-archonology-part-6/ https://runesoup.com/2014/01/knives-in-the-dark-archonology-part-7/ https://runesoup.com/2014/07/fate-of-empires-archonology-part-8/ https://runesoup.com/2014/11/dispatches-from-the-front-archonology-part-9/ https://runesoup.com/2015/05/force-majeure-archonology-part-10/ https://runesoup.com/2017/11/listening-to-demons-archonology-redux/ https://runesoup.com/2017/11/pointing-out-devils-archonology-redux/ https://runesoup.com/2017/11/section-31-archonology-redux/ https://runesoup.com/2017/12/the-syndicate-archonology-redux/ https://runesoup.com/2017/12/offers-unrefused-archonology-redux/

This week we complete our revisitation of classic blog post series from back in the day. And we have saved my favourite for last: Apocalypse Pharmaka. It’s my favourite for a bunch of reasons that I explain in the episode. But, basically, the contested landscape of medicine and power and the body is where the witch and the cunning person has always lived. (Not that you’d know it from looking around in the past couple of years, although the shrillness is mercifully receding.) So if you want to say you are a participant in the ‘western’ understanding of magic or witchcraft in any capacity and have the people around you keep a straight face, one way or the other you need to ‘come to terms’ -in the animist sense- with this contested landscape that is our homeland. It really is as simple as that. Of course -and this is pretty much the whole point- we have all been pushed off these homelands over the past two years and into both literal and metaphoric quarantine camps. Which is to say these discussions are even more fraught than at the time I wrote the series. So you won’t find this episode on YouTube. Enjoy! ***Show Notes*** https://runesoup.com/category/apocalypse-pharmaka/

In what is a particularly apt metaphor, I’m dragging The Whisky Rant up from the depths. This impromptu little reminiscence is inspired by the recent solo show on the story of Rune Soup. Somebody suggested it might be a good idea to look at some of the classic post series from back in the Age of Blogging. So we begin with The Whisky Rant: where the name came from, the benefits and shortcomings of alternate history, which UFOs are actual aliens and which of the various rants stood the test of time. For new people, this was a series that covered off all the exciting hits like ruins on Mars and the Moon, the location of Atlantis and my own version of the stoned ape hypothesis.

Continuing our whistle-stop tour of classic blog series, this time we revisit a term I lifted from the (pre-cancelled) Joss Whedon film, Serenity. It’s the term I use to better frame the totality of digital systems and social media in the context of how they see the world and what it is they seek to do to ours. For people who may be unaware, I had a career in digital media and publisher strategy before doing whatever it is you call what I’m doing now. And I’ve long been interested in that overlap between communication and magic. These posts weave all of that together. And it’s necessary to continue the revisitations with this series next, because it gives us the context for why probably the rest of the revisitations won’t be found on YouTube. Here are some of those old posts: https://runesoup.com/2015/09/im-going-to-show-you-a-world-without-sin/ https://runesoup.com/2016/06/the-first-world-without-sin/ https://runesoup.com/2015/10/worlds-jurassic-and-without-sin/ https://runesoup.com/2017/10/world-without-sin-farming-spies/ https://runesoup.com/2019/11/blowing-filter-bubbles-world-without-sin/

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.

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.

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.

The one, the only Christopher Knowles returns to the show this week for a breezy romp through our near-term future. No, seriously. The end of the West offers perhaps the best time in centuries to be a weird kid. Chris and I talk about the latest UFO nonsense, modern parallels to the fall of Rome, just how long collapses actually take and what they look like for those of us who came to Earth to live through one. Combined with last week's astro forecast, this is a really great discussion to have and a collection of worthy points to table in the lead-up to the final AI solo show. There's just one more piece to play coming up and then we can release those particular robot hounds.

The one(s) and only(s) Miguel Conner of Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio and Chris Knowles of The Secret Sun join the show this week for a discussion of all things astro-gnostic. We discuss the true antiquity and use of star lore, stars in the Bible, gnostics in history as well as a gnostic study of history as well as which components of gnosticism may or may not be universal. This chat was arranged in honour of a conference that Miguel is arranging that Chris and I will both be speaking at next month (March 20 – 22) in Playa del Carmen called the Astro Gnostic Conference. We discuss the event during the show and you can find out more, including details on tickets, accommodation and excursions in the show notes. Great stuff.

In this episode, we dive deep into the origin of our understanding of prophecy, how it is different from prediction and where this understanding is useful for sorcerers, astrologers and magicians. We explore the Old Testament prophets and how their roles changed over the centuries, how they positioned themselves toward power and what kind of 'Prophetic moment' we might find ourselves in. And then if you're watching the replay rather than listening to the audio, we finish off with a now-traditional Q&A at the end.

Welcome to the 300th episode of Rune Soup! They grow up so fast, eh? To celebrate the occasion, I had two options: The first was to hold a big party and then slip on a magic ring mid-speech, vanishing before your very eyes. The second was to invite onto the show perhaps the most-requested guest, John Michael Greer. And really this timed very well because John has a new book out called The Occult Philosophy Workbook: A One Year Course In The Secret Wisdom. Plus we're looking at a whole new year a few days away. Plus we're doing a very special six month premium member course at the beginning of next year called The Foundations which as the name suggests is a comprehensive course on all the foundational magical practices from setting up altars to casting circles to scrying and all of that. I'll be taking you through exactly how I do All The Things. So with all this going on, John and I have a conversation at the Venn overlap of all these territories: What are the essential skills of a (broadly speaking 'Western') magician and have they changed over time? 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 Get The Occult Philosophy Workbook here. https://health.aeonbooks.co.uk//product/the-occult-philosophy-workbook/95089 AND ALSO... the good people at Aeon Books have offered Rune Soup listeners a discount of 20% off any book purchased from their website until December 31, 2022.

Parapsychologist Dr Brian Laythe joins the show for a discussion on ghosts and haunted places. We explore definitions: what IS a ghost? That's a slippery question right there. We look at what makes a place 'haunted'. Are they haunted because they have ghosts or do they have ghosts because they are haunted? And we investigate how ghost encounters fit into the wider ecosystem of High Strangeness. Can anyone really be 'just' a witness or are we at least co-creating these contact events? A great chat.

This is one of the most fascinating discussions I have had this year. For centuries, people have speculated as to the formulation of the legendary substance of the Gods known as soma. It's something I have kept my eye on for a couple of decades now. And, as far as I can tell, Dr Etminan's research is the best pointer in the direction of what that might have been. Even better than that? His research has developed into a completely legal product you can try for yourself today. In this show, we explore exactly who the Zoroastrian Magi were, what customs and beliefs fed into their practices and what haoma might have been and how it was used. Then we'll explore Shauheen's journey toward the development and release of the Ancestral Magi products and how they can be used today. I am particularly excited to see these in the hands of visionary astrologers. Have at it! Brilliant stuff. Enjoy! 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 Get the products as Ancestral Magi https://ancestralmagi.com/ Shauheen's presentation on Zoroastrian Shamanism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUWuUJQf8DU Shauheen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShauheenEtminan 🔼🔼 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.

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.
