The Inner Sea & Inner Knowing w/ Nicole Legault
2w agoTap to summarizeIn this episode of Talk Gnosis, we sit down with artist Nicole Legault to explore the profound intersection of creativity, healing, and spirituality. Nicole opens up about her artistic journey, sharing how a powerful, cinematic dream about a humpback whale became a lifelong anchor in her work. We dive deep into her latest project, the Inner Sea Oracle deck, a stunning 55-card collection born from a decade of painting and her own experiences and inner knowing. Moving beyond fortune-telling, Nicole explains how her water-themed deck is designed to help us look inward, observe life’s synchronicities, and realize that we are our own ultimate oracles. Join us for a conversation about reaching transcendence through art, and be sure to check out the Inner Sea Oracle on Kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicolealinelegault/the-inner-sea Hit up Nicole’s website at: https://www.nicolealinelegault.com/ [https://ia600709.us.archive.org/35/items/finalfinal-nicole-audio/FINALfinalNicoleAudio.mp3] —————– Become a patron: http://patreon.com/gnostic <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;

Transcribe →What Gnosticism ISN’T (And Why It Matters)
Mar 6Tap to summarizeWhen exploring the path to Gnosis, it is often easier to figure out what it isn’t than what it is. Jason, Deacon Jon, and Nick discourse about the modern discourse around Gnosticism to map out the false paths, dead ends, and online grifts that could lead seekers astray. Check out Conclave 2026, we hope you attend ‘cuz you’ll love it! johannite.org/conclave [https://ia902802.us.archive.org/5/items/talk-gnosis-what-gnosticism-isn-t-and-why-it-matters-gnostic-wisdom-network/%5BTalk%20Gnosis%5D%20What%20Gnosticism%20ISN%27T%20%28And%20Why%20It%20Matters%29%20-%20Gnostic%20Wisdom%20Network.mp3] —————– Become a patron: http://patreon.com/gnostic <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;
Transcribe →Navigating Gnostic Media in 2026
Feb 24Tap to summarizeJason, Deacon Jon, and Nic explore the messy intersections of Gnostic discourse and the 2026 digital landscape, where the “demiurgic” influence of algorithms often favors provocative takes over Gnostic insight. We explore the reality of “audience capture” (how creators can become trapped by the very content that performs well) and the prevalence of media labeled “Gnostic” that often functions more like a lifestyle brand or a conspiracy rabbit hole than a path to gnosis.

Transcribe →Gnosticism in 2026
Jan 30Tap to summarizeYour hosts Jason, Jon, and Nic, sit down to map the landscape of Gnosticism in 2026. We explore why Gnosis is less about discovering a single, world-altering secret and more about the ongoing journey of investigation. Our conversation goes everywhere and we tackle the “abundance of riches” available to modern seekers, while examining the rise of polarized, “prison planet” nihilism and the commodification of rebellion in online spaces. From befriending uncertainty to constructing your own spiritual map, we talk how to maintain deep criticality without losing the intent for connection.

Transcribe →The Aeons Revealed: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life w/ William Charnock
Jan 9Tap to summarizeWe welcome back creative visionary William Charnock to discuss his Aeon cards as well as how the cosmology of the Aeons (divine emanations) can be used as a practical tool for navigating daily life. William explains how these ancient “resonances” bridge the gap between psychology and spiritual mystery, helping us move beyond the “False God” of the ego to uncover hidden truths within ourselves. But we don’t just talk theory; we put the cards to the test! William performs a live, on-air reading for the year 2026, offering a relevant forecast for the future of Talk Gnosis and our community.

Transcribe →St. Nicholas, Arius, & Hersey
Dec 26Tap to summarizeDid Santa Claus really punch a heretic in the face? And why are the hosts talking about magic bone juice? In this Talk Gnosis, we’re unpacking the legendary story of St. Nicholas losing his cool at the Council of Nicaea. We dive deep into the ancient beef between Saint Nicholas and the “heretic” Arius to find out why a theological debate over the nature of Jesus turned into a physical altercation that might have landed with jolly old St. Nick a in prison. Beyond the slap, we explore the real history of the Council of Nicaea (spoiler: they didn’t actually burn all the secret Gnostic books there), the politics of Emperor Constantine, and the weird afterlife of St. Nicholas. Join Jason, Deacon John, and Nic Laccetti as we separate history from myth and look for the Gnostic spark in the big holiday season.

Transcribe →“The Warriors” & Gnosticism w/Bishop Lainie Petersen
Dec 20Tap to summarize“Warriors, come out to play!” This week on Talk Gnosis, we are thrilled to welcome back former host, frequent guest, and retired Gnostic Bishop Lainie Petersen to hit the streets and break down Walter Hill’s 1979 cult classic, “The Warriors.” While on the surface this film is a gritty journey through a gang-ruled New York, we are digging much deeper into its mythological roots to explore how this masterpiece serves as an allegory for Gnostic concepts of ascent, descent, and the struggle against the Archons that patrol our reality. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the Warriors’ leather vests or just looking for a fresh take on spiritual transformation through pop culture, this conversation is one wild ride. Can you dig it?! CAN YOU DIG IT!!!?

Transcribe →Redemption Through Imagination: Storytelling & Gnosis w/Card Streamstone
Nov 16Tap to summarizeIt’s time to talk some Gnosis with our guest Card Stream Stone, a multifaceted creator whose work exists at the intersection of ancient spiritual knowledge and contemporary media. Card is a video game creator, poet, oral storyteller, zinester, ritualist, and educator, drawing inspiration from paths as diverse as Norse Paganism, Arthurian legend, and Folk Catholicism. Card shares his compelling journey through multiple spiritual traditions, explaining why he embraces a pluralistic approach and how he’s synthesizing these diverse influences. We explore the idea that “religion is fun” and how this playful, exploratory attitude is key to spiritual growth, particularly in a complex, high-stimulation modern society.

Transcribe →Cryptkeeper Avenger with Dr. David Goodin
Oct 25Tap to summarizeGreetings, boils and ghouls! The ancient curse has been broken, and Dr. David Goodin has risen from his tomb to discuss a grave new topic: the theology of Tales from the Crypt. We dig into the property’s entire history, from its rebellious 1950s EC Comics origins that defied “picture book Bibles” to the infamous congressional moral panic it sparked. We also explore the iconic 1990s HBO series, its all-star cast, and the cackling, pun-spewing host at the center of it all: the Crypt Keeper. Dr. Goodin unpacks his paper, “The Crypt Keeper as God’s Avenger,” and we explore everything from the devil an unwitting agent of divine justice, Tales from the Crypt’s place in the zeitgeist, the ethics of enjoying horror, Enochian Watcher angels, and more. Dr Goodin is teaching an online course on Theodicy and the Problem of Evil in Winter 2026.
