Everything's coming up snakes!

In this episode we explore Tyler's unique connection to a class of ancient serpentine beings known in the Vedas as the Naga.

They're deeply connected to the waters that shape the earth, the land itself, and the elements, stretching into the depths of primordial deep-time and the origins of humanity as we know it.

Tyler shares some of his incredible and wild experiences with us regarding these awe-inspiring beings, his initiatory relationships with them, and how they have shaped his life and practice. We talk shop about the differences between amulets, East and West, and how Thai magic dramatically opens up the possibilities for variety in enchanted objects, in both function and in formula.

Tyler also gives us the rundown on four Naga oils he has been working on for a good while which he is preparing to release to the public very soon in exchange for donations, all four of which sound fantastic. All of Tyler's work at Cormorant Cunning Craft is donation-based and he offers group ceremonies often, which we here at Soapbox recommend! Follow him for updates and details.

After Daniel’s extensive research uncovered conclusively that the “UFO of God” event, after which Chris Bledsoe’s book was named, was in actuality a man-made satellite, he discovered that everyone involved was entirely uninterested in his evidence.

We explore why Chris’ UFO can be both a satellite and a genuine contact event through the ancient logic of ceremonial magic, and how this model seems to work better than any other for making sense of contact experiences.

We get into how the Bledsoe’s can be totally honest and genuine while still potentially being manipulated by the powerful figures in their orbits. We also discuss the nature of dream space, extending it beyond the realms of sleep and into the dream of the world itself, the ethical concerns regarding hypnotic regressions and the metaphysics of collapsing potentialities, ways of framing the numinous without losing your mind, and much more.

This is an important episode and any sharing is greatly appreciated - People need to hear what Daniel has to say here.

Daniel offers client sessions in exchange for donations and Rev recommends working with him. He also has five books, some channeled, and all pertaining to the subjects discussed in this episode. All of his work can be found at https://dseti.org/

J. David Osborne is the author of a sizeable collection of novels which range from dreamy prose set in a gulag, to gritty and comedic crime noir, and arriving in his latest novel Gods Fare No Better at a mystical cyberpunk epic dedicated to his favorite filmmaker, the infamous Takashi Miike.

We talk about three of Miike's films in particular (Ichi, Gozu, & Dead Or Alive), mastery of craft through total immersion, artists who are above critique, personal projections in art and critique, the absurdity of the political climate, and we talk about the process of making books, specifically Gods Fair... the fantastic cover art for which our own Kurt Huggins made.

David and his colleagues at Broken River Books all collaborate to promote one another's work outside of the holy see of major publishing companies and modern censorship in order to preserve their limitless, artistic freedom. All of their work is excellent and well worth checking out.

We touch on some difficult topics, and films, in this one so consider this a warning for sensitive people.

You can pick up a copy here, and we highly suggest you do.
