Rune Soup

We come at last to the final in the AI For Magicians series of solo shows! This time we explore how we co-create with non-human beings and what that AI co-creation looks like for magicians.

After tabling the possibility in the last live stream, and thrashing out some of the details with the Rune Soup Premium Member brain trust, we'll be moving forward with the goal of launching one sigil a day for every day of next year. In this video, you'll learn ♦ WHY you might want to join this project. ♦ WHERE you can find out how to launch sigils. ♦ HOW you can join. ♦ WHAT are the 'rules'. (Lol. Rules for sigil magic.) The audio version of the announcement is a bit more involved than this one. That's because 58% of YouTube watchers aren't subscribed, so it needs to make sure it is invitational to newbies -who are always welcome at any time.

What are you supposed to do if your spell isn't working? When do you call time on them and chalk them up to failure? The answer is not as obvious as it sounds. First, you need to determine whether this is a SETBACK or a FAILURE.

A solo show this week, in which I explore Ani.Mystic now that it's about two months out from launch, and how it has been immensely helpful in coming to terms with Mexican and explicitly Mayan sense making. As I have basically been travelling since the thing came out, I've been remiss in sharing some of the shows that have kindly had me on to discuss the book. So let that be your show notes for this week. Each episode is remarkably, remarkably different in a way that shows I've done for Star.Ships or The Chaos Protocols or Pieces of Eight weren't. And I genuinely think that's down to the material in the book. Which means, if you are so inclined, you have hours of material to enjoy! (And hopefully that makes up for the travel-based radio silence.) The audio version of this week's show is the audio of my presentation and discussion with the guys from Watkins the most recent discussion of the book for reasons spelled out in this video.

This week's solo show is a necessary side quest in our AI series up into space and out into the future. It's also a standalone exploration of - Understanding 'big' or archetypal stories, such as zodiacal signs and planets, as containing all stories. - Using longer cycles to formulate timing and meaning. - What is yours to do in a looming world of social credit scores, digital control grids and the tyranny of niceness. There is also a live Q&A beginning at the 1-hour mark 1:00:36 - Q&A begins 🔼🔼 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.

Legendary ethnobotanist, Mark J. Plotkin, joins the show this week for a fascinating chat about traditional medicine, Indigenous knowledge, plant healing and modern medicine. Dr Plotkin studied under the great Richard Evans Schultes himself and has been exploring the Amazon as a friend and researcher for five decades. He is the co-founder of the Amazon Conservation Team -a nonprofit that partners with Indigenous communities to conserve biodiversity, protect traditional lifeways and support sustainable Amazonian livelihoods. During the lockdown era, Mark started an excellent and highly recommended podcast, Plants of the Gods. We discuss - The origination of the podcast project - The role of psychedelics in contemporary medicine - The safeguarding of Indigenous intellectual property in the 'modern' world - 'Active molecules' versus whole plants in contemporary medicine - The changes good and bad in the field of ethnobotany over the course of his career A fantastic discussion with a personal hero.

This week, we are joined by essayist and filmmaker, Niles Heckman. Among other things, Niles is the co-creator of the Shamans of the Global Village series. So we talk about that, obviously. And we also talk about creativity, filmmaking, the power of the essay format, as well as how -or if it’s possible- to participate in cross-cultural learning in non-extractive ways. Great chat.

Continuing our exploration of the impact of AI on our world, in this episode, we will be exploring what happens when AI gets to decide what is real. If you have already used Chat GPT, you may have found that it refuses to answer some questions -about biopolitics or geopolitics or even exopolitics. Or if it does, it simply enforces the party line. Either that or it gives you a Lisa Simpson-style caveat about how 'important it is' to respect diversity at the end. We have seen what happens when political information is dropped from Google results. AI will multiply that effect a thousandfold. Join Gordon as we explore the question: Can AI be trusted to censor our reality? As is traditional now, there is a Q&A at the end for those on the livestream. 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 ✅ 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.

A bumper episode this week and a veritable romp through the Fortune’s Fools project as the finish line appears over the horizon. I was told going into a project like this that it would show up in your life in strange ways: seeing a cardiologist the week of the Heart card, having a friend lose is eyebrow ring at your house the week of the Ring card, taking ayahuasca the week of the Tree card. None of these things were planned out beforehand but if you read cards, you know these things tend to happen. They just seem a little extra when you’re creating a deck. So artist extraordinaire Colin Alexander returns to the show in order to reminisce and commiserate on this wacky journey so far. ***SHOW NOTES*** Download a large version of all the cards so far. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/runesoup/_Fortunes_Fools.jpg Pre-order the cards and the book. https://runesoup.com/product/pre-order-a-fool-and-his-money/ Join the Fortune’s Fools Telegram group. https://t.me/fortunesfools The Fortune’s Fools playlist on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1hIjOcsa0YJyiIstk4nE4W?si=pGMyiSuzS2ezjD5UMw-fEg&nd=1 Colin on TikTok. https://www.tiktok.com/@colinalexanderdraws?

This week we have the first triple-header of the energy healing dialogues. Brian Wilkins returns to the show with first-time guest, Jess Waters. Jess and Brian are principally responsible for creating and maintaining a weekly intention group based on the principles outlined in Lynne McTaggart’s Power of Eight. So we discuss their respective paths through various healing modalities, how they came to intention-based work, what it’s good for, how it might work and what its efficacy implies for the cosmos at large. Really scintillating chat. Excellent stuff with some excellent people. Enjoy! **SHOW NOTES** Jess and Brian's substack, Banhe https://banhe.substack.com/ Brian's website https://www.wilkinsbrian.com/

The one and only Gary Lachman returns to the show this week.

The one and only Camelia Elias returns to the show this week to talk about demons and crosses. Specifically, we explore what demons actually are and their relation to human desire. We examine the curious case of Andromalius, the final spirit of the Goetia. We discuss occult style. Then we turn to the role and function of crosses in cartomancy: Why and how is the cross so potent in the tarot? And why does the Celtic Cross suck so much?? Really great stuff.

In the middle of the Philippines archipelago is the mysterious Siquijor -known variously as the Island of the Witches, the Island of Sorcerers or the Island of Healers. This remarkable place is home to several thriving magical and healing lineages. Here is my story of visiting and encountering these traditions during the time of year where the healers travel up sacred Mount Bandilaan in order to collect the healing herbs their work requires for the whole year. These visits only happen on the seven Fridays between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. I was fortunate enough to come along on one of these harvests. It's a fascinating place that is illuminating in comparison with cunning traditions, curanderismo and other cosmovisions around the world: Saints, sacred timing, herb lore, energy work. And if you are looking to visit Siquijor, check out the show notes: 🔼🔼SHOW NOTES🔼🔼 I have added the three healers I discuss to Google maps. So search for the following names on Siquijor: - Annie Ponce (Nearest town is San Antonio) - Batong Hakut (the name of Noel Torremocha's healing practice. Nearest town is Cantabon.) - Loreto Quimno (In the town of San Juan.) If you are visiting, I recommend the guide I used, Chelsey, whom you can contact via Facebook or Instagram. He came with me to each of the healers and accompanied me gathering herbs so he knows everyone and all the places. He's also a great guide just if you are visiting Siquijor: https://www.facebook.com/chelsymend https://www.instagram.com/chelseymendoza07/ 🔼🔼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.

The legendary Rosita Arvigo joins us today to discuss Mayan healing and shamanism, what it entails, the state it is in today and what we can learn from it. Rosita is the author of ten books, she is a naprapathic physician, a herbalist and a specialist in traditional Mayan healing. For decades she has lived in western Belize, operating a healing practice and maintaining an organic farm. During this time she studied under Don Elijio Panti -a powerful and famous shaman then in his nineties. (He lived to 103.) This story is described in her book, Sastún. This is a fascinating discussion that we managed to record from regional Belize all the way to Wellington New Zealand -during a cyclone.

Peter Mark Adams joins us today on the occasion of the imminent release of his new book, Hagia Sophia: Sanctuary of Kronos. Like The Game of Saturn before it, this is an exploration of curious survivals of pagan cosmologies hidden in seemingly plain sight -in this case Hagia Sophia in his home of Istanbul. Check out the show notes at runesoup.com for some companion images. Along the way, we also discuss what happened to the Mysteries when Eleusis was closed, the School of Athens and whether any such thing as Neoplatonism even existed.
