Discovering the Sacred Through The X-Files | Christopher Knowles Oct 06, 2025

Show notes

Synchromystic raconteur, author, and pattern seeker Christopher Knowles returns to the show, as well as the wheelhouse, for this one.

Not that we would ever need one, but the flimsy excuse for Chris coming back this time is so that we can discuss his amazing new book, XF-ULTRA: The X-Files, Conspiracy Culture, and the National Security State.

Can a 90s genre TV-show both explore AND generate high strangeness
What happened to our ancient mythology?
Who is called to tend the flame of our culture's sacred stories through the chaos all around us?

Even if, almost ESPECIALLY if, you've never seen The X-Files before, this journey down to the underworld and back up through the trash stratum of popular culture has wider metaphysical implications that make it essential listening.

Travelling Ghosts Bent Spoons and the Science of Magic | Dean Radin Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Dr Radin returns to the show to talk to us about his amazing new book, The Science of Magic.

We look at

Meta-analyses with trillion-to-one odds.
Hotel poltergeists that target specific researchers.
Spoons that bend without force.
Sigils. Always, always sigils.

Radin explains why materialist skeptics have run out of arguments, how belief literally structures the universe, and why your unconscious mind might be doing magic right now.

If you liked Real Magic, this one takes the conversation even further. The dominant of wider inclusions has surely arrived.

Otto Rahn, Nazi Grail Hunter | Richard Stanley Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

Filmmaker Richard Stanley joins us to unpack his incredible book "Otto Rahn: Grail Hunter" - the true story of a gay Jewish medievalist who became the SS's chief grail hunter in Nazi Germany.

We explore Stanley's own supernatural experiences on Montségur (getting trapped by lightning), the brutal genocide of the Cathars, and why this whole story feels disturbingly relevant right now.

From Lucifer's emerald diadem to disappearing treasures to Stanley's decades-long quest through the most mysterious corners of southern France.

Good times!

How Spirit Entities Shape Human Affairs | Vanese McNeill Sep 04, 2025

Show notes

Vanese McNeill, co-producer of the Magical Egypt series, returns to the show. In this episode, we explore the hows and possible whys of spirit involvement in history, from the super-elite level down to the everyday. And also across to some of the sillier claims about AI floating in the air like so many plasma entities.

And all of this was inspired by a post Vanese wrote on the Magical Egypt substack about ontozoology back in June.

So that's where we begin, and this is where we go after:

1. The Ontozoology Framework

What invisible beings actually exist in the ecosystem
Moving beyond Christian binary (demons vs. angels) to animist complexity
The difference between malevolent, benevolent, and simply non-human agendas

2. Catherine Austin Fitts & Demonic Capital

The exact quote about interdimensional intelligences controlling capital
Why this is being discussed now by credible people
The problem with oversimplifying complex entities as "Satan"

3. Conscious vs. Unconscious Elite Collaboration

How much is deliberate ritual worship vs. unconscious possession
The decline of magical literacy among modern elites
Why materialist worldviews make people more vulnerable to influence

4. Historical Magic & Modern Mind Control

Ancient Egyptian spirit relationships as information exchange
How modern "operations" are rituals without the practitioners knowing it
Predictive programming as contemporary magic

5. The AI & Slop Demon Problem

Why "The Architect" and similar AIs aren't sentient but are dangerous
How AI creates mental conditions ripe for spiritual colonisation
The difference between AI hosting demons vs. AI making minds available for possession

6. UFOs, Aliens, and Interdimensional Beings

The reframing of UFO phenomena as spiritual rather than extraterrestrial
Catherine's invitation to meet "aliens in human bodies"
Distinguishing between visiting organisms and native invisible ecology

What Would You Do If Certainty Never Returned? Aug 21, 2025

Show notes

Back on the farm, jetlagged and hustling. I've been sitting with this question since I decided not to renew my lease in Asunción.

So today, I want to give you my thoughts.

There's some frosty farm pics over on my Substack.

Enjoy!

Zombie Co-Creation Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

Or why our horrible internet is good, actually.

Sick in an AirBnb in Paraguay, I make the case for co-creation still being the best way to exist with our ever-enhorribling media landscape.

The Kali Yuga, Astrology & The Power Of Long Cycles | Dan Waites Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

Dan Waites joins us to discuss the literal long view, which is to say the things we can see and the frameworks we can find when we widen our perspective out to millennia-long cycles and epochal shifts.

We explore:

The Kali Yuga and why it may have ended THIS year.
The Age of Aquarius and how it turns out to be both real and totally fashionable. (You heard me.)
The long cycles of outer planets and their role in birthing new religions.
UFO Disclosure, Mayan Apocalypses and the 'true' astrology of Atlantis.

Why You Came To Earth | Alberto Villoldo Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

Note: Before we begin, my six-week Shadow Work Intensive, The Shaman's Devil, Is Now Live. There are only a few spaces left, so if you think you might be interested, move quickly.

If you know me, you'll know this is a pretty big deal for me.

The one and only Dr Alberto Villoldo joins the show this week. We discuss

Why you came to earth in the first place.
What healing is and how to achieve it.
How the academy and culture's understanding of shamanism has changed in the five decades he has been working in the field.

Bio

Dr. Alberto Villoldo is a medical anthropologist, psychologist, and shamanic teacher who has spent decades studying the healing practices of the Amazon and Andean shamans. He founded The Four Winds Society to bring ancient energy medicine into dialogue with modern neuroscience. His work bridges worlds—science and spirit, biology and ceremony—to help people remember who they truly are.

Astrology Forecast | Austin Coppock | H2 2025 Jun 21, 2025

Show notes

I spent way too much time trying to shoehorn a Warhammer 40K reference into this episode title, and it devolved into something that would make a Chaos Marine blush. So we're keeping it professional (kinda) and diving straight into the space weather for 2025's back 9.

Watch along on YouTube here, if you like. This is what we cover.

Space Baby Update & Good Enough Goals Austin's 30-pound toddler is harder to carry than heavy deadlifts, and "good enough" is our 2025 achievement mindset

Failed 40K References & First Half Lookback From the eternal Mars season to the Carnival of Chaos that delivered perfect tariff confusion

Iran & Playing for All the Marbles Why this could mark the start of World War III and how it connects to the Jupiter-Saturn square

Uranus Enters Gemini: The Pilot Episode The seven-year transit that historically reshapes America, plus the flying wedge formation of outer planets

The Bow and Arrow Configuration Peak craziness in August with Mars-Saturn tension creating a cosmic weapon aimed at change

The Pause That Does Not Refresh September's retreat into swampy Pisces energy—like WWI trenches where your feet rot in gross water

Pisces-Virgo Eclipse Season The tail of the dragon's Buddhist letting go vs. the head's overwhelming hunger for the dream

Neptune in Aries & Individual Glory From woke-era uniformity to the pursuit of personalised excellence and looking combat-ready

Jupiter in Cancer Magic Learning what you really need and how to ask the divine for surgical beneficence

Personal Updates & H2 Plans Austin's book progress, Gordon's Peru trip for the Festival of the Sun, and preparing for a louder 2026
