Hypnotherapist, intuitive coach, and clairvoyant Jill K Thomas joined Finding Hermes for a whole lotta healing and education. She shared this helpful meditation mode that guides us like an Orpheus in and out of our inner worlds (without losing our soul or Eurydice!). We discussed the various types of hypnotism, from stage hypnosis to mass media propaganda to life-regression treatments. Just as fascinating, she explained how each of us is a healer and how we can make that ability work in a new ec...

We take a historical and mythical tour of the eldritch currents that expanded humanity’s consciousness and built civilization. These systems include shamanism, witchcraft, magic realism, psychedelics, and simply nurturing a vivid imagination. Our trek ends with the Trickster and his warning that societies will continue to plunge into the Demiurge's nightmare if we don’t embrace a life of magic again.

David Block materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to investigate the mercurial Azazel. Is this archon a leader of the fallen angels or the scapegoat demon in the desert? Or both? Is he perhaps just a shadow projection of dark guilt we don’t want to face? He will answer these questions, going deep into Sumerian, Babylonian, and Atlantis lore for startling truths. There is no choice. As Daniel 4:17 states: “This matter is by the decree of the Watchers.” Homepage: https://thegodabovegod.com/ Patre...

Elliott Saxton returned to the Virtual Alexandria with a heretical blast. He presented on the Father of Gnosticism and All Heresies: Simon Magus. Beyond little-known but critical facts about the magician, we explored his symbiotic relationship with Simon Peter, the Rock. We discovered an elegant theology of fire magic and cosmic liberation. But you know that happens when we cover one of the show’s patron saints. And yes – that’s a rendition of the Starman in the promo graphic. Join the Virtual A...

Stanley Kubrick is widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers. Some elevate him to a cult-leader status and consider him an exposer of authoritarianism through coded messaging. But what if Kubrick’s role is the opposite of these views? The greatest trick this devil ever pulled was convincing us he was a talented artist. Instead, Kubrick was more of a social engineer that used his films to modify our consciousness and feed an AI demiurge meant to rule over a new, technocratic age. We explor...

Robert M. Price materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his new book, The Gospels Behind the Gospels . Much of the work focuses on early Christianity’s underground and bubbling stream of Gnostic thought. That’s what we’ll concentrate on, finding the pre-Christian origins of Gnosticism, the Demiurge & the roots of evil, and the secrets of various Gnostic Gospels. We verged into similar concepts like Mystery Religions, the Rising/Dying Godman, and ancient novels. Hide your daughters ...

Russia has always been a bricolage of spiritualities, experimental religions, and enduring shamanism. Is there such a thing as a usable and merged Russian mysticism – or at least some constant egregore? There is one, and it’s found while studying concepts/movements: Silver Age, Soviet Secret Societies, Slavic and Siberian religiosity, Greek Orthodox esotericism, and more. This investigation takes us to today’s New Age/Pagan that has made Russia a hotbed of Chaos Magic, Astrology, Sophia worship,...

Ronnie Pontiac joined the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his new book, American Metaphysical Religion . Many assume pious Christians founded America. Yet the truth is that this entire continent has always been a bubbling stew of religions – many of which are shamanistic and occult. Are there any original American religions? Where is spirituality heading in the 21st century? From Native ecstatic movements to colonial Kabbalah & Hermeticism, from 19th Spiritualism to Meme Magic, we thread a nee...

The Mystery Religions thrived in ancient times, vital secret societies and initiations into esoteric experiences. As secretive as they were, we can somewhat construct their rituals and results – from the mysteries of Demeter to the cultish rites of Mithras. Is it possible that Gnosticism and Christianity started as Mystery Religions? What is the evidence for this, and what gifts do their primordial forms offer us? Podcaster and researcher Elliott Saxton joined the Virtual Alexandria to answer al...

We continue exposing those archonic forces that have enslaved humanity for thousands of years. However, in this sequel, we focus too on a radically different way to cultivate a contemplative attitude – a way for all humans but known to only a handful of western people. Its core attitude of non-doing leaves the body rejuvenated and the mind razor sharp. Moreover, our third eye or Nous can slice through a toxic culture that blindly worships the unnatural, the virtual, the artificial, and the simul...

We were beamed up to a heaven full of extraterrestrial encounters of all kinds. For this trekking, we were joined by Samuel Chong, a UFO researcher and translator of Thiaoouba Prophecy , a fascinating account of a man’s encounter with highly evolved beings. Are aliens behind much of our modern culture? Do they have a spirituality of their own, and can they stop humanity from destroying itself? We’ll explore this and much more, including the truth of Jesus’ cosmic origins. Join the Virtual Alexan...

We cured hangovers and armed the audience against the archons when James True joined us on New Year’s Day. Beyond advice on navigating 2023, he discussed his new book, Ark of Baphomet . The work is a fantastic, mind-blowing exploration of Abraxas, Lilith, Noah, Giants/Nephilim/Titans, and Egyptian lore on immortality.

Most assume that the “OG” Communists held a secular ethos with no room for spiritual matters. In truth, like all establishment tyrants, they were steeped in magical thinking. Would you be surprised to know that Uncle Joe rubbed shoulders with Gurdjieff? It gets better. From the romantic transhumanism of Lenin to the folk magic of Stalin, we uncover the occult/secret society cornerstone of the Bolsheviks. And find out also how their black sorcery inspired other fascist regimes of the 20th century...

Can we trace a metaphysical line from ancient star cults to today’s UFO encounters? Indeed, we can find that line revealing a big picture where the religious and scientific stances on extraterrestrials overlap. We plunge down that line – from the Anunnaki to biblical alien visitations to modern governments concealing their interactions with cosmic visitors. This investigation – pointing to a possible awakening of humanity – includes the star lore of Gnostic Gospels, the truth about the moon, rev...

This one was honored by Chris Knowles, Gordon White, Sarah Walker Scheld, Laurence Galian, Nathan Lee Miller Foster, and engaging audience questions. I was in there somewhere, manspreading.

Esoteric researcher and scientist Ola Wolny arrived at the Virtual Alexandria with disturbing and amazing research. The Gnostics claimed that the stars and planets were a chief tool of the Archons. The zodiac was a code that determined humanity’s fate, and that fate was always doom and destruction. Even our very DNA was imbued with tragedy and slave instincts. It seems that the Gnostics were utterly right, and much of ancient texts and myths point to this reality – from Babylonian cosmology to H...

My friend and friend to the Gnostics, Eric G. Wilson , returned to the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his new book: How to Be Weird: An Off-Kilter Guide to Living a One-of-a-Kind Life . What is being weird exactly? How can that wild eccentricity move us into an existence of wonder, artistry, and freedom?
