Tracy R. Twyman is a researcher and author noted for her prolific and thorough treatments of occult subjects. We begin our conversation talking about how she became interested and then began writing about these topics. From there, our discussion ranges from popular books and movies whose content relates to her book, “The Merovingian Mythos and the Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau.”

Then we discuss secret societies and their interlacing throughout society, Mormonism, and finish up with the symbolism of the U.S. dollar from her research in her excellent “Solomon’s Treasure: The Magic and Mystery of America’s Money.”

Join us as Synkronos23 endeavours to close the loop on all the recent analysis of L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” with respect to the occult, mythological, and theosophical symbolism that is incorporated in the story.

Finally, we get into the details of how the elements of the story relate to ancient mythology, the history of magick and the occult, and theosophical doctrine. These symbolical components and their timeless resonances make Baum’s story a classic.

I’m honoured to welcome Michael Tsarion to the program. He is a researcher, author, teacher, and the most prolific speaker in the alternative history field today.

Michael joins us to discuss the divination arts of the Western Magickal Tradition and how these systems derive from the antediluvian civilizations of the ancient world. The language and etymology becomes the key to tracing these relationships through history. We also touch upon the more modern resurgence in the occult studies beginning in the early 20th century. By learning to use these arts, we can begin to free our minds from the “technotronic age.”

Thanks so much to Michael for spending some of his time with us!

Kent returns for the first in a multi-part series examining the concept of talismans and mass media marketing. This can take a benign form such as a popular rock music album…

… or graphic novel, like “The Invisibles” or “Promethea.”

Yet it can take a more malevolent form as does some political marketing.

Kent’s expertise in these areas is invaluable. Listen as he breaks down the characteristics of these marketing campaigns and explains the connections between their composition and success.

“Though the demonism of the Middle Ages seems to have disapppeared, there is abundant evidence that in many forms of modern thought - especially the so-called “prosperity” psychology, “will-power-building” metaphysics, and systems of “high-pressure” salesmaship - black magic has merely passed through a metamorphosis, and although its name be changed its nature remains the same.”

- Manly P. Hall, “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” Readers Ed. 2003 Tarcher / Penguin, p. 318

The remainder of the series will be posted next week. Stay tuned.

Frater W.I.T. joins us for a discussion of his book, “Enochian Initiation,” in which he describes the effects of the process by which he completed a number of magickal workings. We review a bit of the history of the Enochian tradition of Dr. John Dee, the various interpretations of magickal results, and how these workings relate to consciousness and reality.

I think you’ll find Scott’s experiences and willingness to share them is noteworthy in an excellent analysis of the implications of the Enochian system.
