Ep. 120 - Jacob Toddson - Nordic & Celtic Traditions & the Wisdom of Odin

YouTube version:

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 120 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Jacob Toddson. Jacob has a really excellent YouTube channel called The Wisdom of Odin where he explores his own journey delving into his wandering the ancient world in search of information pertaining to the religions of the past. Jacob is a photographer by trade and it really shows in the production value of his videos. I was really impressed by his work and his looking into, speaking about, and educating about ancient traditions, especially those of Nordic and Celtic traditions. As this has become part of my own work, I was really happy to have Jacob on to talk about his own journey and what he has learned along the way. We had a really nice conversation and I think you all will learn a lot from him and this episode.

"I am currently wandering the ancient world, in search of information pertaining to the religions of the past. I am not a historian, or any form of scholar, I am a photographer who wishes to capture the beliefs of the past first hand. I do this by practicing these ancient traditions, and talking with others who still keep old beliefs alive today. I believe by wandering and sharing this information, I can help breathe new life into the old ways, as well as get one step closer to the wisdom of Odin.”

Ep. 119 - Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen - Nordic Animism, Myth, & Connectivity

YouTube version:

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 119 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Rune Hjarno Rasmussen. Rune was introduced to me by a listener of the podcast. It was serendipitous timing as I had been wanting to bring on guests to speak more about European myth and tradition, especially about Celtic and Nordic traditions. So it was a pleasure to sit down with Rune and have him share in his experience with Nordic animism, myth, his work in general, and also his time with the Brazilian Candomblé tradition. He has a really good YouTube channel as well where he speaks about these topics. I think you all will be interested by and get a lot out of this episode.

"Rune Hjarno Rasmussen is an historian of religion, Ph.d., educated from the Universities of Uppsala and Copenhagen.

Rune has lived in many countries and done fieldwork in a number of contemporary (primarily Afro-descendant) religions, but since childhood he has had Nordic religion as a strong field of interest.

Today Rune is working on applying contemporary developments in anthropology to rethink the way we address Nordic religion both in terms of scholarship, but also as a reservoir of cultural knowledge for environmental activism and sustainability sensitization.”

Ep. 118 - Larry Pahl - The Pyramids of Giza & Sacred Geometry

YouTube version:

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 118 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Larry Pahl. Larry was introduced to me by a mutual friend who is a fan of Larry’s work. As someone who is deeply interested in ancient cultures, esoteric wisdom, and the interconnectedness of life and cultures, the pyramids of Giza have fascinated me since childhood. Therefore Larry was a wonderful guest to bring on as all of these are his specialty. He has been studying the pyramids of Giza for decades and has made a number of discoveries. I think he does a beautiful job at bridging both the more rational scientific views as well as bringing in the often forgotten theological views. This was a fascinating conversation and I hope to do a part two as a follow up and go deeper into his findings.

"Larry has been studying the Egyptian pyramids for decades. He has made presentations of his discoveries at major Egyptological conferences. He directs our work in the field and maintains contact with our associates around the world. He has led 10 tours to Egypt and outfitted several research expeditions which have yielded major discoveries including the Holy Shaft and Circle, the origin of the Fibonacci Spiral that goes through the center of 4 Giza pyramids, the complete correlation of Orion stars on Egyptian soil, the Hemiunu Template, and the deciphering of pavement markings around Giza.”

Ep. 117 - Andrew Camargo - Shamanism, The Occult, Alchemy, & Santo Daime

YouTube version:

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 117 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Andrew Camargo. A friend of Andrew’s, Jude, recommend I interview Andrew a while back as he lives quite close to me. I am grateful for this recommendation as I really enjoyed sitting down with Andrew and having him share in his life story and work. He has an excellent free webinar series about the call of shamanism that is about 16 hours in length and I was very impressed with the knowledge and depth that Andrew goes into. I would highly recommend it. I feel Andrew is doing great work at bridging many of these shamanic and esoteric, occult, and alchemical traditions. He has a real grasp and depth of knowledge of the history and the broader implications of how these lineages come together and where they are going. We went four hours on this talk which for me is always a sign of a talk with depth. I learned a lot from Andrew and I think you all will as well.

"My name is Andrew Camargo. I have been studying Archetypal Shamanism, Entheogenic Spirituality, Alchemy, Jungian Psychology, Modern Mythology and Visionary Art for the past 24 years.

I earned my B.A. from Yale University in 2002 studying Literature and Psychoanalysis, when I was introduced to the work of C.G. Jung, and the mysterious Art of Alchemy. In 2009 I earned my M.A. from the Pacifica Graduate Institute studying Jungian Psychology and Mythology. Since 2006 I have participated in and extensively journaled over 700 Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Santo Daime tradition. I now live in the Sacred Valley of Peru with my wife and daughter, where we lead a Santo Daime church and community.

Throughout my esoteric studies, I realized that the art of spiritual Alchemy was Western civilization’s own version of shamanic initiatory wisdom, and as such, it had something very unique and valuable to offer the modern seeker – provided its arcane symbolic language could be decoded. So I embarked on a sustained effort to decode the magical connection between Esoteric Alchemy and Entheogenic Shamanism, Jungian Psychology, and Modern Mythology...and nothing could have prepared me for what I discovered: A magic key to unlock a vast treasure of "western shamanic" wisdom.”

Ep. 108 - Melanie Reinhart - Astrology, Chiron, and Mythology

YouTube version:

Audio version:

Hey everybody! Episode 108 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Melanie Reinhart. Melanie was recommended to me by a friend of mine, James Robinson, and I’m really grateful that he did. Melanie is an astrologer and I really enjoyed speaking with her. She has a beautiful voice, presence, and wisdom and I think you all will find this a fascinating conversation. We spoke about her early years and interest in astrology, it’s history, how it fell out of favor in the West, the mythology of astrology, Chiron and its mythology and meaning, how astrology ties together many disciplines and draws upon much ancient wisdom from around the world, and how astrology can help guide us in the current times we are in.

“Melanie Reinhart is best known for her book 'Chiron and the Healing Journey', and her work on Chiron and the Centaurs Chariklo, Nessus and Pholus. She is a prize-winning diploma holder of the Faculty of Astrological Studies in the UK (Margaret Hone Award 1979), of whom she is also a patron. She was awarded the prestigious Charles Harvey Award in 2004, given by the Astrological Association of Great Britain for 'exceptional service to astrology'. Her work is an unusual combination of intuition and meticulous research.

Melanie was born in Zimbabwe, whose night sky inspired her vocation of astrology at an early age; she began studying the ancient Wisdom Traditions at the age of ten. She holds a B.A. Degree (University of Cape Town) in English, Music and Drama, and has been a professional astrologer since 1975, this being a natural extension of her interest in soul, consciousness and the spiritual life. She has wide experience of many psychotherapeutic approaches and spiritual traditions, and has studied with a number of fine teachers.

Melanie was initially self-taught in astrology, immersing herself for many years in the work of Dane Rudhyar. Later she had the privilege of learning from the many gifted astrologers in the rich milieu of London, and that journey continues. Melanie studied Horary astrology with Geoffrey Cornelius (1989-1990), and Deborah Houlding (Practitioner's Certificate 2012).

Melanie has taught for many highly esteemed astrology schools, in the UK and abroad, including the Centre for Psychological Astrology, the London School of Astrology, the Faculty of Astrological Studies, Aula Astrològica de Catalunya, Heaven and Earth Workshops and Astro*Synthesis. She has presented astrological seminars, lectures and experiential programs for local astrology groups in the UK, eight European countries, South Africa, USA, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Currently living in rural Bedfordshire, Melanie maintains a busy consulting practice with an international clientele. This intimate use of astrology as a vehicle for personal guidance is the heart and soul of her astrological work.

She ran her own workshop programme, based mainly in London, from 1991-2015, and has recently begun offering online webinars hosted by various astrological organisations including the Faculty of Astrological Studies and the Astrology University. You will also find a number of interviews with her on YouTube. In addition, she has written a number of highly acclaimed books which have been translated into several languages; her own publishing imprint is 'Starwalker Press'. Many articles archived on this site were originally (or subsequently) published in printed magazines such as 'Link Up' (no longer in print), 'Caduceus', The Mountain Astrologer, and the Journal of the Astrological Association of Great Britain. Online you will also find her work on astro.com and I.A.M. magazine.”
