GHOST LORE: Roman Necromancy and the Shades of Ancient Greece
3d ago00:47:01Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we explore the well-documented history of ghosts as they were recorded in classical Greek and Roman culture, owing to older motifs that originated in Sumeria. In the free side of the show we discuss Greek skepticism, spooky Roman holidays to propitiate the dead and an eerily vivid description of Thessalian necromancer Erichtho including a lengthy example of her method of invocation. I probably cursed myself reading. In the extended show we discuss the classical relationship between ghosts and dreams, the restless shades that dead Roman Emperors tend to produce, a revenant love story and what it means when the specter happens to be an enormous woman. Thank you and enjoy the show.In this week’s episode we discuss:Ancient Sumerian Afterlife Roman Ghost Rituals and Ghost HolidaysAncient Ghost Hauntings Necromancy: Erichto of Thessaly Ancient Skepticism: Lucian of SamosataPliny the Younger’s Accounts of Ghosts In the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further and discuss:Dream VisitationsRestless Roman EmperorsA Revenant Love StoryWarning ApparitionsWhere to Invoke Achilles This episode was written by Tim Hacker and Luke Madrid with additional commentaries by Heka Astra and Mari SamaWhere to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0Yo Sources:All About History: History of Ghosts: Featuring Over 55 of the World's Most Famous Ghostshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1805214942?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_9PD5K4HEMNQ52W63XDAD&bestFormat=trueGREEK AND ROMAN GHOST STORIES BY LACY COLLISON-MORLEYhttps://a.co/d/0bFBEHKlErichtohttps://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/PharsaliaVImaster.phpSupport the show

1w ago00:45:16Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we accomplish part 2 of our deep dive into the sickly yellow abyss of Kane Parson’s Backrooms to reveal the unthinkably dense amount of symbolism, mythology and religious allegory lurking just beneath the surface. In the free side of the show we discuss how Mary’s shadow can be related to The Wheel of Fortune and the Blasted Tower of the Tarot expanding on the themes already present and giving dimension to Backroom's lore outside the film. In the extended show we discuss Ivan Beck, the Red City, Odin, the Tower of Babylon, the Voyager Disk, The Qlippoth of Kabbalistic Tree of Death and even the Gnostic Demiurge because damn it, Kane Parsons go so hard with easter eggs and clever symbolism I think we may need to determine if he is actually a Moonchild created by Aleister Crowley himself. Thank you and enjoy the show!

Kane Parson's "The Backrooms" Decoded: The Wheel of Samsara (level 1)
2w ago00:47:15Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we grab our “They Live” glasses and descend down into Kane Parson’s summer blockbuster horror hit: “The Backrooms” to explore its clever symbolic use of Jungian archetypes and Eastern mysticism to create a cerebral and spooky allegory with the same narrative depth we find in masterpieces like Kubrick’s The Shining, Lynch’s Twin Peaks or Owaku’s Silent Hill 2 but with a retrowave drip that weaponizes nostalgia in a tour of the collective unconscious with obscure doorways straight into Buddhist hell. In the free side of the show we discuss Clark and the symbolism that haunts him, the Backrooms and his shadow; breaking down what it has to do with the infinite, changing and cyclical nature of the Backrooms itself. In the extended side of the show we discuss the Capn Carl, Tarot symbolism, the shadow of the retrowave aesthetic and how the Backrooms are a perfect allegory for the Bardos of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Join us next week for part 2. That gives you a whole other week to go watch the movie before listening!

DMT Laser Experiments & The Code of Reality
3w ago00:44:15Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s show we finally take a glimpse at what psychonaught Danny Goller has been trying to tell us for years; that if you smoke enough DMT and stare at a diffused laser you can see the code of reality. After talking about how Danny figured it out, we discuss why such a strange idea might not only make sense but falls in line with cutting edge research and a long tradition in the West of combining cutting edge optics and spirit communication to advance our understanding of reality. We even get into how Danny says to do the experiment… which we do not endorse, condone or promote in any way because drugs are bad and I am not responsible for any damage you do to your eyes while on them. In the extended show we discuss what spirit conjuring wizards throughout history have a strangely concordant interest in the field of optics, the bizarrely specific experiences shared by participants and what kind of strange entities are most contacted while a user is on DMT. We discuss the Back Rooms, the City of Pyramids and the occult reason why the entities that reside there might be hideous clown creatures. Thank you and enjoy the show. On this week’s show we discuss:Danny GollerRick Strassman’s “The Spirit Molecule” ECCO the DolphinDose Dependent Effects How to do the experiment Snell’s LawIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit hole and discuss:Optics and Wizardry in the WestHow do lasers work?Shared experiences DMT entitiesLilaCity of Pyramids This episode was written by Luke Madrid, Heka Astra and Mari Sama with additional commentary by Tim Hacker.Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:The Experiment:https://youtu.be/I4JGLyrV7cQ?si=KAR4ptg0taHsfItNResearch Gate - Pilot Study “The Code…”https://www.researchgate.net/publication/387824795_Detailing_a_Pilot_Study_The_Code_of_Reality_Protocol_A_Phenomenon_of_NN-DMT_Induced_States_of_ConsciousnessLaser Speckle:https://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/laser-speckleSnell's Law:https://www.britannica.com/science/Snells-lawSupport the show

The Shadowy Origins of Cyberpunk Metaphysics with Julian The Philosopher
May 3000:58:53Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we are joined once again by Julian Soloninka, better yet known as Julian the Philosopher to discuss his provocative insights into Cyberpunk Metaphysics; which we discuss in its germinal stages under the inspired headspace of Alan Watts, Alduous Huxley and Gregory Bateson. In the first half of the episode we discuss the impact Alan Watts and Gregory Bateson had on cyberpunk and its corresponding philosophies while investigating the role they played as secret agents each with respective ties to three letter agencies before asking ourselves if we were to meet them on Homerian or Platonic footing. In the extended side of the show we continue our discussion with Julian and discuss prominent author, philosopher and psychonaught, Alduous Huxley; his connection to Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Death of Cleopatra and what it all has to do with Philip K. Dick’s theophany. Thank you and enjoy the show!

In the free side of the show we discuss the Akashic Records, subconscious knowing, the gift of prophecy, the psychic energy of crowds and astral travel.

The Power of Clairvoyance and Telepathy: The Occult Teachings of Swami Panchadasi
May 900:49:05Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! On this week’s episode Tim Hacker leads us on a discussion of the occult powers of telepathy and clairvoyance as described by turn of the century new-thought pioneer William Walker Atkinson under his pseudonym Swami Panchadasi. Best known for his authorship of the Kybalion, Atkinson breaks down in plain English the straight dope concerning basic psychic ability from vague impressions or weird synchronicities we all have experienced right up into their fully evolved form as telepathic sense and even astral projection. In the free half of the show we discuss the difference between telepathy and clairvoyance, how it manifests, how to cultivate it, what its capable of achieving and the dodgy business of seeing the past by touching other people’s personal property. In this extended side of the show we discuss crystal gazing, scrying, the use of drugs in ritual, controlling psychic senses, creating psychic links and other things we’re not supposed to talk about in public. Thank you and enjoy the show!

“Are Aliens Really Demons?” - Passport to Magonia by Jacques Vallée
May 200:40:28Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! On this week’s episode we gather around the sacred fire and share stories and other initiated insights we find in and around Jacques Vallée’s UFOlogy classic; Passport to Magonia - a text which has proven too quixotic for weekend seekers of yesteryear but a poignantly apt launching point for a discussion that almost certainly is poised to be unleashed upon the public in the form of official UFO disclosure which, for all intents and purposes, will likely include official information regarding the biological occupants of these craft, where they come from, who they are and why we can expect for their very existence to bring into question ideas formerly reserved for mythology and religion. In the free side of the show we discuss how these revelations are going to soon come to pass before visiting the pyramid of Palenque, Saint Anthony on his journey through the Egyptian desert and taking a big bite out of an unsalted stack of pancakes brought to us by an alien from Wisconsin. In the extended show we weave together the spiritual and religious angle to explain edge cases with you like the grim fate of Snippy the horse, the tragedy of Gerry Irwin and what to expect if you’re a hard working peasant who's been chosen for an extra terrestrial breeding program which has dubious ideas about consent and are demanding to collect your DNA the old fashion way. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week’s episode we discuss:-Trump Administration Disclosure-Pyramid of Inscriptions at Palenque-Saint Anthony’s Encounter with an Alien-Japanese and Chinese Celestial Omens-Medieval European UFOs-French Egg Shaped UFOs from the 50s-Fairies and Alien Pancakes of Wisconsin-Case of the Missing Fertilizer In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we continue the discussion with:-Snippy the Horse-Farfadets and Hobits-Gerry Irwin’s Disappearance-Spirited Away by “The Good People”-Alien Sex with Antônio Vilas-Boas-Ludovico Maria Sinistrari’s Succubi-The Miracle of the Sun-The Foo Fighters and the Battle of Los Angeles This week’s episode was written by Tim Hacker and extensively deep fried in Luke’s kitchen.

Quantum Hermetics: The Hard Science of Ritual Magic
Apr 2500:50:51Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! On this week’s show written by Tim Hacker we do the unthinkable and explain in earnest the overlap between hard science (specifically Quantum Mechanics) and magic, specifically in the form of Hermeticism as it has developed in the West since the time of Christ. Using The Kybalion as our framework we explore each of the “seven Hermetic principles” reflected in modern scientific research while talking shop about how to use these overlapping ideas toward the pursuit and ends of magic. Thank you and enjoy the show. In this week’s episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we discuss:The Origins of the Corpus HermeticumThe Seven Hermetic PrinciplesMentalism and Spooky Action at a DistanceQuantum GravityThe Universe is a Computer?Quantum Indeterminancy Jung’s Collective Unconcious The Qabbalah The Great Old OnesIn the extended episode we continue our deep dive into the fringes of science and discuss:The Astral PlaneOut of Body and Near Death ExperienceThe Power of PrayerThe Power of AliensOrigins of the PentagramThe Implicate OrderThe Shattering of the Vessels and QlippothQuantum Probability WavesDNA and Enochian MagickPolarity and ParadoxesThe Cycle of the Ages ‘Free Will and Quantum ProbabilitySigil Magick and Synchronicity Editing and small contributions by h4ckrabbit with additional commentary by Heka Astra and Mari Sama.Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoSources:The Quantum Hermeticahttps://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Hermetica-Documenting-Parallels-Hermetic/dp/1723857327The Emerald Tablethttps://sacred-texts.com/alc/emerald.htmSupport the show

Edgar Cayce, Crowley and Christ Compare Notes At the Bar
Apr 1800:39:16Tap to summarizeSend us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we crack open a cold one with America’s most well documented psychic, Edgar Cayce - specifically about cosmic law, how to transcend it on all levels and where Jesus Christ fits into the picture before Aleister Crowley walks into the room with The Book of the Law under his arm; leaving us to discover through earnest conversation if there is enough room to sit and enjoy a drink in the overlap between the wisdom of each. We begin by seeing how each figure explains the importance of the spirit and how our destiny depends on our relationship to it. We discover that each figure agrees about a tricky transaction between Individuality and personality but uses different wording to break it down. For the folks who have a tough time understanding Aleister Crowley or even why somebody would want to study him at all, you might find sharing a beer with us at the Pantheon Bar brings it into neon focus. Thank you and enjoy the show! In this week’s episode we discuss:-Transcending the Law-The Creative Force-Knowledge of Hadit (The Book of the Law)-Enginery Of War!-Becoming a Star in HeavenIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we continue go uncensored and continue by discussing:-Vibration and Frequency-Sexual Energy as Creative Force-To Fap or Not To Fap-Sex Magick-Kundalini-Constantial Filandering -Getting Up to Get DownThis episode was written by Luke Madrid with additional commentary by Heka Astra, Tim Hacker and Mari Sama.
