Our rebroadcast is Enochian Magick. Its origins come from one of the greatest minds of the Renaissance. It is the art of summoning angelic entities who bestow the magician with spiritual gifts like the expansion of the soul, glimpses to the outer worlds, and the raising of consciousness to an astral level. We study the origins of this esoteric praxis, its methodology, and even advice on how to both pursue and put it in practice.  And, of course, we present an in-depth biography on the fountainhead of this mystic tradition, John Dee: Queen Elizabeth's adviser and wizard, as well as one of the greatest mathematicians and astrologers of all times. Our Astral Guest was Lon Milo Duquette, author of Enochian Vision Magick.

Next week we get acquainted with the Gnostic Paul, and all the heresy he spread through various means before Orthodoxy sanitized him. Our guest will be Robert M. Price.

What is Gnosticism? by Miguel Conner
Some Words VIII by Jeremy Puma

I am, I am not. I was, I was not. I don't care.
Common writing on Roman pagan tombstones

When unity makes the ways complete, it is in unity that all will gather themselves, and it is by Gnosis that all will purify themselves out of multiplicity into unity, consuming matter within themselves as fire, and darkness by light, and death by life. So since these things have happened to each of us, it is fitting for us to meditate upon the entirety, so that this house might be holy and quietly intent on unit.
Bentley Layton on The Gospel of Truth, from The Gnostic Scriptures



Please support Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. I’ve had to cut back to about two shows a month these last six months; I hope to keep it at that level.

I am also looking for extra work as a writer, blogger, journalist, copywriter, or really anything. If anyone has any leads or advice, please let me know. Lastly, any leads on how to get on The Huffington Post would be forever appreciated…and even compensated with a Pandora’s Box of free shows.
