00:04:59,080 Netflix and you know and cook and summon 111 00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:01,330 creatures from the nether world and you 112 00:05:08,219 --> 00:05:06,550 know you've got a cauldron yeah I have 113 00:05:10,890 --> 00:05:08,229 an instant instant pot that's like a 114 00:05:12,540 --> 00:05:10,900 cauldron what you know why for I think 115 00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:12,550 some witches probably use a crock pot 116 00:05:20,430 --> 00:05:17,560 for these days it you know it certainly 117 00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:20,440 saves on a lot of things well but here 118 00:05:25,980 --> 00:05:23,200 we are what is Halloween for you I mean 119 00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:25,990 I love I love Halloween I love this time 120 00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:27,520 of the year I love the smell I love 121 00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:30,280 October you know and it goes back to my 122 00:05:35,219 --> 00:05:32,320 childhood for you 123 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:35,229 what is Halloween for you well first of 124 00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,330 all every day is Halloween when when 125 00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:40,000 you're meeting but no I I think that 126 00:05:47,010 --> 00:05:44,020 Halloween for me is the one day that our 127 00:05:49,230 --> 00:05:47,020 society allows things to be a little 128 00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:49,240 fuzzy around the edges it's the one day 129 00:05:56,580 --> 00:05:53,440 that we're allowed to let down our guard 130 00:06:00,779 --> 00:05:56,590 a little bit and maybe entertain the 131 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:00,789 idea of other ideas about reality the 132 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:02,770 idea of another world the you know the 133 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:05,050 the veil between the worlds becoming 134 00:06:10,980 --> 00:06:08,650 thin and I think that has always been 135 00:06:13,770 --> 00:06:10,990 really fascinating for me and like you I 136 00:06:16,409 --> 00:06:13,780 love the holiday and I love this the 137 00:06:18,990 --> 00:06:16,419 smells and the experience and just that 138 00:06:21,779 --> 00:06:19,000 autumn feeling but even more than that I 139 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:21,789 loved it that's the day that our society 140 00:06:26,730 --> 00:06:24,370 lets down its guard because the guard is 141 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:26,740 all the way up every other single day of 142 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:30,610 the year and you know we live in a very 143 00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:33,370 sterilized society sometimes we live in 144 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:36,550 a society that you know in which flights 145 00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:39,130 of the imagination or seen as not 146 00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:41,440 productive or not helpful for society 147 00:06:46,770 --> 00:06:44,980 and so but our society allows this one 148 00:06:50,430 --> 00:06:46,780 pressure release where we can have this 149 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:50,440 one day where just go wild you know and 150 00:06:55,530 --> 00:06:52,240 and entertain the idea of magic and 151 00:06:57,390 --> 00:06:55,540 spirits and the crazy the kernel of it 152 00:06:59,720 --> 00:06:57,400 the craziest thing about that for me is 153 00:07:01,560 --> 00:06:59,730 that really what is being 154 00:07:04,110 --> 00:07:01,570 pressure-release there is the whole 155 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:04,120 ancient pagan world it's it's it's the 156 00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:06,210 natural state of humanity when we were 157 00:07:12,750 --> 00:07:08,710 immersed in the idea of spirits and 158 00:07:15,330 --> 00:07:12,760 magic and and immersion in that level of 159 00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:15,340 reality before all of that was paved 160 00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:18,940 over by first you know the domination of 161 00:07:23,540 --> 00:07:21,520 Christianity and then the scientific 162 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:23,550 worldview and now the hyper 163 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:26,170 technological world all of that is like 164 00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:28,690 layers of pavement over what's really 165 00:07:34,590 --> 00:07:32,350 are innate Nate you know our innate 166 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:34,600 nature are an eight-way of being this 167 00:07:40,980 --> 00:07:37,930 kind of shamanic animistic you know 168 00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:40,990 tribal worldview and it's always there 169 00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:43,030 it never goes away of course some of us 170 00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:45,190 you know love that so much that we 171 00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:47,380 decide to immerse ourselves in in that 172 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:49,750 type of thinking our whole lives but you 173 00:07:53,790 --> 00:07:51,610 know it's it can never be covered over 174 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:53,800 just like you know of course Christian 175 00:07:59,520 --> 00:07:57,330 of course Halloween is a Christian 176 00:08:01,800 --> 00:07:59,530 Christianization of an older pagan 177 00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:01,810 holiday just like all of our holidays 178 00:08:06,690 --> 00:08:04,360 and that's always fascinated me so I 179 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:06,700 love that it's a pressure-release and we 180 00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:09,360 get to we get to we get to play that day 181 00:08:19,590 --> 00:08:14,710 with the freedom that Halloween brings 182 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:19,600 us which is not not which is which is 183 00:08:25,409 --> 00:08:23,410 the ability to to dress up to have fun 184 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:25,419 to go to parties to dress up 185 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:27,970 let let our kids and our children have 186 00:08:34,050 --> 00:08:31,690 fun and freedom of expression and you 187 00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:34,060 know maybe somebody wants to dress up as 188 00:08:38,579 --> 00:08:36,729 a zebra somebody wants to dress up as a 189 00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:38,589 Star Wars character somebody wants to be 190 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:40,870 a witch right somebody wants to be a 191 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:43,690 sexy nurse whatever it it doesn't matter 192 00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:46,450 right you're supposed to have this 193 00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:49,839 freedom of expression and now we're in 194 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:53,260 this PC politically correct world and 195 00:09:00,030 --> 00:08:57,490 even Halloween isn't isn't cool anymore 196 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:00,040 and I just don't get it isn't it 197 00:09:03,220 --> 00:09:01,450 supposed to be the one time where 198 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:03,230 nothing matters and 199 00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:06,250 allowed to just let everything hang free 200 00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:09,310 yeah totally but I think for that reason 201 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:12,350 Halloween has always been terrifying to 202 00:09:16,810 --> 00:09:14,450 people you know it's it's the day it's 203 00:09:18,430 --> 00:09:16,820 the night of the year where you know 204 00:09:20,410 --> 00:09:18,440 parents kind of let their children go 205 00:09:22,210 --> 00:09:20,420 out to go trick-or-treating or maybe 206 00:09:24,940 --> 00:09:22,220 they don't maybe they don't even do that 207 00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,950 anymore you know the way things are now 208 00:09:29,650 --> 00:09:26,480 but you know we live in such a 209 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:29,660 controlled and fearful society that yeah 210 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:31,850 I mean it's you know can we even let our 211 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:34,250 hair down that much I think that you're 212 00:09:38,410 --> 00:09:35,810 connecting it to the idea of free 213 00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:38,420 expression is really important I mean we 214 00:09:43,690 --> 00:09:41,120 live in a society now where people are 215 00:09:45,130 --> 00:09:43,700 you know they are have the ability to 216 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:45,140 communicate all over the world but they 217 00:09:49,090 --> 00:09:46,850 have to second and triple and quadruple 218 00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:49,100 guess everything they say in public and 219 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:51,110 every tweet and you know anything you 220 00:09:55,390 --> 00:09:53,090 can say anything you say at any time can 221 00:09:57,940 --> 00:09:55,400 can it will be held against you you know 222 00:10:00,550 --> 00:09:57,950 so we live in a culture that's quite you 223 00:10:02,530 --> 00:10:00,560 know has the ability to be have total 224 00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:02,540 freedom of expression but is is also 225 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:05,630 very very paranoid about you know saying 226 00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:09,410 just the right thing and you know again 227 00:10:13,930 --> 00:10:12,320 to bring it back to the ancient world if 228 00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:13,940 you look at things like the Roman Empire 229 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:17,960 or or or or similar things even the 230 00:10:21,820 --> 00:10:20,210 Middle Ages there were always holidays 231 00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:21,830 there were there were lots and lots of 232 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:24,200 days where people were allowed to just 233 00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:26,210 let it all out and that was important 234 00:10:32,290 --> 00:10:28,220 because for instance in the Middle Ages 235 00:10:35,020 --> 00:10:32,300 life was short and hard and full of work 236 00:10:38,980 --> 00:10:35,030 and suffering and disease and fear and 237 00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:38,990 and and for that reason holidays were 238 00:10:45,550 --> 00:10:41,860 really important and people needed 239 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:45,560 opportunities to go wild to get drunk to 240 00:10:50,950 --> 00:10:48,170 you know to put on masks masks of course 241 00:10:55,090 --> 00:10:50,960 allow you to be your true self and let 242 00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:55,100 down the escape in many ways what is a 243 00:10:59,790 --> 00:10:57,440 straitjacket put on us by society which 244 00:11:03,280 --> 00:10:59,800 is you know having to conform to 245 00:11:05,050 --> 00:11:03,290 society's expectations of us so that's 246 00:11:07,210 --> 00:11:05,060 very very healthy it's important I think 247 00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:07,220 in in this country for instance it's why 248 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:10,430 people go to Burning Man and festivals 249 00:11:14,290 --> 00:11:11,450 like that because they need that 250 00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:14,300 pressure pressure release and I think 251 00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:16,790 that's very very healthy for a society 252 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:19,310 to have and you know whether it's 253 00:11:24,610 --> 00:11:22,730 Halloween or or whatever it happens to 254 00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:24,620 be Burning Man or whatever it happens to 255 00:11:29,530 --> 00:11:27,080 be I think it's very very 256 00:11:32,950 --> 00:11:29,540 psychologically healthy for people to be 257 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:32,960 able to take off the mask you know 258 00:11:38,230 --> 00:11:35,810 ironically when we put on a mask we are 259 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:38,240 able to take off the mask of our of our 260 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:40,370 day-to-day personality and I think 261 00:11:46,780 --> 00:11:42,650 that's very healthy for people there is 262 00:11:53,620 --> 00:11:46,790 a street in Venice in Venice Beach where 263 00:11:57,580 --> 00:11:53,630 all of the houses all on Halloween it's 264 00:11:58,810 --> 00:11:57,590 they are I guess you could say that 265 00:12:00,940 --> 00:11:58,820 everybody's in the entertainment 266 00:12:03,010 --> 00:12:00,950 industry there they're in the movie 267 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:03,020 industry special-effects costumes 268 00:12:08,190 --> 00:12:05,930 directors actors right and it's you know 269 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:08,200 it's a couple of blocks and they all 270 00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:11,570 participate in the craziest haunted 271 00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:15,400 house thing you know walking up the 272 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:17,690 special-effects ever it's totally cool 273 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:19,970 it's so much fun and it's jam-packed 274 00:12:25,750 --> 00:12:22,970 with families right and we're there and 275 00:12:28,270 --> 00:12:25,760 I'm trying to think our daughters were 276 00:12:33,130 --> 00:12:28,280 probably at that time eight years old 277 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:33,140 and and we take them down there and I we 278 00:12:39,270 --> 00:12:34,490 get down to the end of the street around 279 00:12:44,650 --> 00:12:39,280 the corner and they have a guillotine 280 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:44,660 crazy crazy giant guillotine and they go 281 00:12:48,130 --> 00:12:46,490 I'm standing there I got you know I'm 282 00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:48,140 holding both of my daughter's hands and 283 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:49,430 there were trick-or-treating and doing 284 00:12:52,180 --> 00:12:50,450 all the stuff I'm looking at this 285 00:12:54,010 --> 00:12:52,190 guillotine which is like 30 feet tall 286 00:12:57,100 --> 00:12:54,020 like a you know or real guillotine 287 00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,110 dude steps up throws his head down on 288 00:13:02,320 --> 00:12:59,360 the thing right the the blade comes down 289 00:13:05,830 --> 00:13:02,330 chops his head off the head goes rolling 290 00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:05,840 down this thing and into a bucket right 291 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:11,300 blood and I was like oh my god you know 292 00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:14,810 and everybody's freaking out now it was 293 00:13:19,150 --> 00:13:17,390 pretty cool specialists ill you have to 294 00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:19,160 ask Rita to I don't know how they pulled 295 00:13:24,730 --> 00:13:23,780 it off man it was really really cool is 296 00:13:29,260 --> 00:13:24,740 that wrong 297 00:13:30,540 --> 00:13:29,270 I'm telling I'm standing there with my 298 00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:30,550 eight-year-old kids and 299 00:13:39,930 --> 00:13:35,320 I thought it was real now it but what do 300 00:13:41,430 --> 00:13:39,940 you think well I think I think it's 301 00:13:43,050 --> 00:13:41,440 healthy as long as it's not actually 302 00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:43,060 real you know it's like it's it's 303 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:44,980 interesting that you you know what came 304 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:46,330 to me when you were talking about this 305 00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:48,970 is this is kind of what people want to 306 00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:51,310 do well I don't want to say what people 307 00:13:56,220 --> 00:13:52,750 want to do but you know there's always 308 00:13:59,280 --> 00:13:56,230 an element of society of you know people 309 00:14:01,139 --> 00:13:59,290 are there's resentment you know that the 310 00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:01,149 rich people's fear poor people poor 311 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:03,910 people despise rich people so I think 312 00:14:07,860 --> 00:14:05,680 it's very healthy whether it's that or 313 00:14:09,690 --> 00:14:07,870 anything else to kind of play enact it 314 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:09,700 and again have it be a pressure-release 315 00:14:14,670 --> 00:14:12,730 and and let off a little steam and kind 316 00:14:18,060 --> 00:14:14,680 of laugh about it and poke fun of it it 317 00:14:20,490 --> 00:14:18,070 really drops the you know again it's a 318 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:20,500 it's it's psychologically healthy it 319 00:14:27,889 --> 00:14:24,399 lets off steam and allows us to you know 320 00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:27,899 Express it's important to express our 321 00:14:36,780 --> 00:14:32,079 perhaps dark and destructive urges you 322 00:14:38,730 --> 00:14:36,790 know as art or as play or as theatre so 323 00:14:40,410 --> 00:14:38,740 that they're released and they don't 324 00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:40,420 build up and turn into something that is 325 00:14:47,340 --> 00:14:43,270 actually destructive to society now what 326 00:14:51,870 --> 00:14:47,350 is when we look at the way the society 327 00:14:56,220 --> 00:14:51,880 now thinks about witches there is kind 328 00:14:59,490 --> 00:14:56,230 of like two or three different ways to 329 00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,500 take a look one we have the Wizard of Oz 330 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:01,120 right and we have the good in the bad 331 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:02,770 witches and you'll you know we could 332 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:06,250 always think of the the bad witch in The 333 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:08,050 Wizard of Oz you know writing the broom 334 00:15:13,069 --> 00:15:10,690 the crazy hat the crooked nose maybe 335 00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:13,079 even a shade of green in her skin 336 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:15,430 there's that part then there's the good 337 00:15:21,569 --> 00:15:18,370 witch then there's the witches of Salem 338 00:15:23,939 --> 00:15:21,579 and then you have witches today that'll 339 00:15:27,569 --> 00:15:23,949 say no you know went up that the witches 340 00:15:31,079 --> 00:15:27,579 are good you know they're there why has 341 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:31,089 it twisted up in society now that that 342 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:33,130 that witches are bad and they do bad 343 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:35,170 things but yeah witches will defend 344 00:15:41,699 --> 00:15:38,050 themselves as we do nothing but good 345 00:15:43,890 --> 00:15:41,709 things where did all of this start well 346 00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:43,900 I think the real core of 347 00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:45,400 thinking about which is is that it's a 348 00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:47,320 woman's it's a woman's symbol right it's 349 00:15:57,650 --> 00:15:52,390 a symbol of female wisdom perhaps and 350 00:16:00,390 --> 00:15:57,660 also you know a female power perhaps and 351 00:16:02,460 --> 00:16:00,400 it was always of course if you go back 352 00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:02,470 to the Salem witch trials and the witch 353 00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:04,750 burnings in the Middle Ages there was 354 00:16:10,110 --> 00:16:07,590 this mass panic that women perhaps had 355 00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:10,120 magical powers that they were using for 356 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:12,700 for ill and I think that's been 357 00:16:17,820 --> 00:16:15,850 reclaimed as a symbol by women currently 358 00:16:20,370 --> 00:16:17,830 particularly young women who see that as 359 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:20,380 a very empowering thing to be I think 360 00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:22,690 women now particularly they like that 361 00:16:27,870 --> 00:16:25,630 idea they like the idea of being a 362 00:16:29,850 --> 00:16:27,880 little a little magical having a little 363 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:29,860 bit of a little bit of extra power of 364 00:16:33,390 --> 00:16:31,690 course everyone likes that idea everyone 365 00:16:35,610 --> 00:16:33,400 wants to be a little bit magical and 366 00:16:39,290 --> 00:16:35,620 have a little bit of extra power or 367 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:39,300 insight or whatever it happens to be so 368 00:16:44,340 --> 00:16:41,650 but the witch is a symbol that's been 369 00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:44,350 with us since the beginning of recorded 370 00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:46,390 history I mean we can talk about the 371 00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:49,120 Witch of Endor in the Bible or we can 372 00:16:53,970 --> 00:16:51,880 talk about you know there were accounts 373 00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:53,980 of witches in ancient Rome and and all 374 00:16:59,940 --> 00:16:56,110 throughout in in India and all 375 00:17:02,910 --> 00:16:59,950 throughout the entire world and it's 376 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:02,920 very much I think always been connected 377 00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:05,770 with the idea of that there's just 378 00:17:11,670 --> 00:17:08,110 something about women it is 379 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:11,680 indescribable and bewitching and it is 380 00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:13,690 it can sometimes be quite frightening 381 00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:16,000 for men because you know as men of 382 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:18,790 course you know no matter how perhaps 383 00:17:27,630 --> 00:17:24,730 intelligent or you know rational we are 384 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:27,640 or powerful or wealthy we're always at 385 00:17:33,540 --> 00:17:30,130 some level going to be under the power 386 00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:33,550 of of women perhaps you know perhaps you 387 00:17:40,590 --> 00:17:38,470 know a heterosexual men and I think and 388 00:17:43,170 --> 00:17:40,600 and really that's kind of all throughout 389 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:43,180 history we have the stories of you know 390 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:45,970 whole empires have fallen to one woman's 391 00:17:50,730 --> 00:17:48,250 whims you know if you look at Helen of 392 00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:50,740 Troy or there's so many stories like 393 00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:52,750 that from history or from modern history 394 00:17:57,450 --> 00:17:54,400 where you know a woman has been that you 395 00:17:59,070 --> 00:17:57,460 know a very powerful man's downfall so 396 00:18:03,030 --> 00:17:59,080 there's just something about women that 397 00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:03,040 is seems to transcend anything that men 398 00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:06,430 can perhaps fathom or you know capacity 399 00:18:14,490 --> 00:18:09,670 and that's a very magical position and 400 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:14,500 something that I think has been quite I 401 00:18:18,660 --> 00:18:15,730 think that people throughout history 402 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:18,670 have been fascinated with and of course 403 00:18:24,690 --> 00:18:20,530 terrifies some people and fascinates 404 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:24,700 fascinates others so yeah I mean there's 405 00:18:28,620 --> 00:18:26,890 so much there with the the symbol and 406 00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:28,630 the reality of the witch there's 407 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:31,470 something else very interesting here and 408 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:34,810 and I need to say this in defense of all 409 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:36,810 the men in in the world 410 00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:40,410 warlocks can't hold a candle to a witch 411 00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:42,750 nobody even cares 412 00:18:48,780 --> 00:18:47,080 it's really funny right if you go see 413 00:18:51,300 --> 00:18:48,790 you laugh because you know exactly what 414 00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:51,310 I'm saying here if you if you think 415 00:18:55,710 --> 00:18:53,740 about some of the pop culture ways of 416 00:18:59,730 --> 00:18:55,720 looking at this whether it's like the TV 417 00:19:02,790 --> 00:18:59,740 show bewitched right you had you had all 418 00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:02,800 of the witches really the warlocks and 419 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:04,720 and and that they didn't have the power 420 00:19:12,330 --> 00:19:07,120 they weren't you know the real the real 421 00:19:14,010 --> 00:19:12,340 power lied within the witches and and I 422 00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:14,020 don't I don't get that 423 00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:17,350 throughout history we witches are talked 424 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:20,560 about all the time warlocks ignored and 425 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:22,690 I'm here to stand up I'm here to stand 426 00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:24,370 up today for all the warlocks out there 427 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:28,240 but why Thank You Jimmy yes why why why 428 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:32,290 is that well on a tangent I have a very 429 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:34,000 funny story to relate about that which 430 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:35,650 was a couple years ago I was in New York 431 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:39,490 on a panel with the head of the of the I 432 00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:41,410 believe the International psychoanalytic 433 00:19:45,330 --> 00:19:43,180 Association and I was talking about 434 00:19:48,170 --> 00:19:45,340 magic and he was quite terrified by this 435 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:48,180 I you know like very straight-laced 436 00:19:52,290 --> 00:19:50,650 psychoanalyst do not want to talk about 437 00:19:54,540 --> 00:19:52,300 these things and he started immediately 438 00:19:56,910 --> 00:19:54,550 making fun of magic and saying like oh 439 00:19:58,830 --> 00:19:56,920 it's just you know this obsession where 440 00:20:00,540 --> 00:19:58,840 you just you know mysticism is just this 441 00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:00,550 obsession where you just want to go back 442 00:20:05,730 --> 00:20:02,920 to the womb and worship the goddess and 443 00:20:08,010 --> 00:20:05,740 then he said and you know isn't it crazy 444 00:20:10,290 --> 00:20:08,020 that there's just witches everywhere you 445 00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:10,300 know every woman wants to be a witch 446 00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:11,950 but there's you know there's like no 447 00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:13,990 warlocks you can count them on one hand 448 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:16,240 and I said can you imagine how good my 449 00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:22,330 life must be what was his response not 450 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:24,190 no response they have not sure you knew 451 00:20:28,980 --> 00:20:25,690 what to make of that but he was not a 452 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:28,990 fan of me but I think that the the the 453 00:20:33,330 --> 00:20:31,690 real the reality of that I mean this is 454 00:20:36,330 --> 00:20:33,340 something that has been talked about in 455 00:20:37,910 --> 00:20:36,340 mythology and and sacred texts and 456 00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:37,920 religions all throughout human history 457 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:42,840 where how do I put it 458 00:20:48,860 --> 00:20:46,330 men are very much about building and 459 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:48,870 constructing and trying to understand 460 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:52,570 what is where women particularly from 461 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:54,610 the mystic end of thinking are able to 462 00:20:59,640 --> 00:20:57,730 just embody what is women are much more 463 00:21:01,320 --> 00:20:59,650 in touch with their you know I'm porcine 464 00:21:03,990 --> 00:21:01,330 speaking in generalities and I don't 465 00:21:06,210 --> 00:21:04,000 mean to overly stereotype but women I 466 00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:06,220 think in general are much more in touch 467 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:09,300 with their intuition and with the 468 00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:14,170 natural flow state of reality and men of 469 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:16,510 course are always questing for that they 470 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:18,250 want to understand it they want to 471 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:22,090 perhaps control it or possess it or in 472 00:21:28,110 --> 00:21:25,330 some way you know match themselves to it 473 00:21:30,450 --> 00:21:28,120 but women just are they they have a way 474 00:21:32,850 --> 00:21:30,460 of embodying it you know and in India 475 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:32,860 the classic phrase is Shiva cannot 476 00:21:39,330 --> 00:21:36,130 manifest without his Shakti so you know 477 00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:39,340 there's this understanding that you know 478 00:21:42,780 --> 00:21:41,200 behind every man is it's not just behind 479 00:21:44,790 --> 00:21:42,790 every man is a good woman because that 480 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:44,800 implies some type of hierarchy it's more 481 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:47,770 that you know men cannot men really are 482 00:21:54,930 --> 00:21:50,890 nothing until they are you know within a 483 00:21:57,570 --> 00:21:54,940 productive partnership with you know if 484 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:57,580 the feminine force and of course this is 485 00:22:01,230 --> 00:21:58,960 again we're getting into kind of gender 486 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:01,240 essentialism it can is not necessarily 487 00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:02,890 heterosexual I mean these things can 488 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:04,900 management both feminine and matt and 489 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:07,330 masculine qualities can manifest in 490 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:09,730 either gender so mm-hmm 491 00:22:17,090 --> 00:22:13,570 yeah but but throughout history it's 492 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:17,100 very easy to recognize 493 00:22:23,420 --> 00:22:20,490 who was always there the sorceress right 494 00:22:25,970 --> 00:22:23,430 the witch that you know that that way it 495 00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:25,980 doesn't matter what culture it was 496 00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:28,790 always the same thing and when it came 497 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:31,950 what do we what do we men have what 498 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:35,250 Merlin right there's that there's that 499 00:22:40,190 --> 00:22:37,170 much out there representing us who was 500 00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:40,200 the guy that was the head of the Satanic 501 00:22:43,310 --> 00:22:42,960 church up in San Francisco what was his 502 00:22:45,380 --> 00:22:43,320 name 503 00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:45,390 oh and Anton LaVey he doesn't count he 504 00:22:50,290 --> 00:22:47,520 didn't even really believe in anything 505 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:50,300 supernatural right but Anton LaVey 506 00:22:57,980 --> 00:22:55,010 wouldn't was never taken serious right 507 00:23:00,680 --> 00:22:57,990 it just never right and that was like 508 00:23:02,930 --> 00:23:00,690 the best us men could do well there's 509 00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:02,940 tons of male magicians or warlocks 510 00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:04,560 throughout history I mean Apollonius of 511 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:07,710 Tyana Simon Magus John Dee Giordano 512 00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:09,690 Bruno Aleister Crowley Jack Parsons 513 00:23:18,710 --> 00:23:14,640 right but they tend to be yeah there's 514 00:23:20,210 --> 00:23:18,720 fewer of them and it it's a different 515 00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:20,220 attitude it's a different perspective 516 00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:22,830 than the female perspective and I think 517 00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:25,080 that even within the Western magical 518 00:23:29,030 --> 00:23:26,310 tradition there's very much an 519 00:23:31,670 --> 00:23:29,040 understanding of the essential feminine 520 00:23:36,650 --> 00:23:31,680 quality of reality and the reality 521 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:36,660 itself is feminine and in a certain way 522 00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:38,720 you know which is Glyph perhaps by the 523 00:23:44,780 --> 00:23:41,760 goddess Kali in India or the goddess 524 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:44,790 Babylon and in Western magic and many 525 00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:47,490 many other symbols throughout throughout 526 00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:50,400 world throughout world sacred cultures 527 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:53,760 yeah and and it's it's it's it's okay 528 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:57,090 with me when when we think about witches 529 00:24:02,930 --> 00:24:00,240 and and different sources and you know 530 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:02,940 look at look at Greece and and Rome in 531 00:24:09,770 --> 00:24:07,170 Egypt and and and certainly the United 532 00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:09,780 Kingdom and and Northern Europe and here 533 00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:12,000 in the United States and Salem and so 534 00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:13,620 forth at that you know it's it's all 535 00:24:21,250 --> 00:24:16,590 over the place but the strong the strong 536 00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:21,260 warlock figure or that type of magical 537 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:23,520 situation with the men it's it's we're

--> 00:33:32,470 okay now let's talk about the history of 735 00:33:38,620 --> 00:33:35,990 Halloween which if you go back to the 736 00:33:41,379 --> 00:33:38,630 etymology and you look at the name 737 00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:41,389 Halloween first off it's uh it's it took 738 00:33:50,169 --> 00:33:45,950 it's a Christian holiday right well I'm 739 00:33:52,450 --> 00:33:50,179 looking at my my vintage copy of the man 740 00:33:54,430 --> 00:33:52,460 myth and magic encyclopedia right now 741 00:33:56,889 --> 00:33:54,440 which I'm sure anyone many people 742 00:33:59,230 --> 00:33:56,899 remember from the 1970s and it's 743 00:34:01,750 --> 00:33:59,240 informed me that it was originally a 744 00:34:04,690 --> 00:34:01,760 pagan holiday it was originally a fire 745 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:04,700 festival and it goes back to the British 746 00:34:09,869 --> 00:34:07,010 Isles it's a it's a Celtic fire festival 747 00:34:13,270 --> 00:34:09,879 and it was just like all the other 748 00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:13,280 holidays and pagan Europe co-opted by 749 00:34:21,069 --> 00:34:17,320 the church as they came in and you know 750 00:34:23,230 --> 00:34:21,079 conquered the pagans and and co-opted a 751 00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:23,240 bit of religions of course they'd still 752 00:34:28,389 --> 00:34:25,310 wanted their holidays so in many cases 753 00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:28,399 they just renamed the pagan holidays 754 00:34:33,790 --> 00:34:30,800 with the names of Christian saints and 755 00:34:35,409 --> 00:34:33,800 we and Christianized them but and to all 756 00:34:37,659 --> 00:34:35,419 intents and purposes they're still the 757 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:37,669 same Christmas of course is another 758 00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:39,770 example of that Christmas was originally 759 00:34:44,050 --> 00:34:42,079 Yule which was a pagan holiday where you 760 00:34:46,359 --> 00:34:44,060 know trees were decorated and gifts were 761 00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:46,369 left under under a tree and of course 762 00:34:52,149 --> 00:34:49,700 Santa Claus is a is a pagan symbol and 763 00:34:54,309 --> 00:34:52,159 many people have suggested a symbol of 764 00:34:57,010 --> 00:34:54,319 the Omni to muscaria psychedelic 765 00:34:59,770 --> 00:34:57,020 mushroom that grows underneath trees in 766 00:35:03,280 --> 00:34:59,780 northern Europe but that was the deal 767 00:35:05,589 --> 00:35:03,290 with Halloween it was a fire festival it 768 00:35:08,170 --> 00:35:05,599 was a festival for communing with dead 769 00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:08,180 for commuting with ancestors of course 770 00:35:12,609 --> 00:35:11,119 ancestral rituals are common in every 771 00:35:14,339 --> 00:35:12,619 single religion 772 00:35:17,710 --> 00:35:14,349 excuse me every single culture 773 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:17,720 throughout the world prior to the coming 774 00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:21,290 of Christianity although you could argue 775 00:35:28,030 --> 00:35:22,910 that Christianity has its own forms of 776 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:28,040 ancestral contact or worship and that 777 00:35:32,740 --> 00:35:30,410 was the deal and and so it was this was 778 00:35:37,089 --> 00:35:32,750 around the seventh century it was turned 779 00:35:39,569 --> 00:35:37,099 into a Christian holiday and all saints 780 00:35:41,950 --> 00:35:39,579 you know All Saint's Eve instead of 781 00:35:44,349 --> 00:35:41,960 instead of the original 782 00:35:46,900 --> 00:35:44,359 or All Souls Day you know followed by 783 00:35:50,579 --> 00:35:46,910 All Souls Day and Roman Catholicism as 784 00:35:53,170 --> 00:35:50,589 opposed to the original the original 785 00:35:55,299 --> 00:35:53,180 holiday but you can't you can't change 786 00:35:57,579 --> 00:35:55,309 these things too much because even if 787 00:35:59,650 --> 00:35:57,589 you look at Halloween just a little bit 788 00:36:04,150 --> 00:35:59,660 close up there's not a whole lot of 789 00:36:06,849 --> 00:36:04,160 Christianity there when you go and you 790 00:36:10,630 --> 00:36:06,859 look and like I said the etymology right 791 00:36:15,430 --> 00:36:10,640 Hallows mean st. so it was all saints 792 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:15,440 Eve was the the true meaning of 793 00:36:24,940 --> 00:36:18,490 Halloween I think a lot of people would 794 00:36:27,730 --> 00:36:24,950 be surprised by that yes yeah yeah 795 00:36:29,410 --> 00:36:27,740 certainly there was a at least at one 796 00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:29,420 point there was a Christian connection 797 00:36:34,690 --> 00:36:31,700 and it was Christianized but I think 798 00:36:38,819 --> 00:36:34,700 it's probably only skin-deep know now 799 00:36:42,130 --> 00:36:38,829 what okay so then the the 800 00:36:43,750 --> 00:36:42,140 jack-o'-lanterns you know we'll talk 801 00:36:45,549 --> 00:36:43,760 about the candy and the celebration of 802 00:36:49,900 --> 00:36:45,559 the haunted houses here a little bit 803 00:36:54,730 --> 00:36:49,910 what it's turned into today but the the 804 00:36:58,240 --> 00:36:54,740 jack-o'-lanterns they did and I was 805 00:37:01,120 --> 00:36:58,250 watching or looking at some of the 806 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:01,130 images back then where they would do 807 00:37:06,069 --> 00:37:04,010 like different vegetables cut faces into 808 00:37:07,630 --> 00:37:06,079 it light them up from the inside this 809 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:07,640 goes back hundreds and hundreds and 810 00:37:12,460 --> 00:37:09,650 hundreds of years where did this 811 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:12,470 tradition start with the 812 00:37:17,620 --> 00:37:14,210 jack-o'-lanterns and and because they 813 00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:17,630 are jack-o'-lanterns are scary right and 814 00:37:20,770 --> 00:37:19,160 you're supposed to carve them to be a 815 00:37:23,740 --> 00:37:20,780 scary face you put a candle on the 816 00:37:25,299 --> 00:37:23,750 inside of it it's glowing and it you 817 00:37:28,030 --> 00:37:25,309 know looks like fire and it's kind of 818 00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:28,040 frightening where did these traditions 819 00:37:32,289 --> 00:37:29,680 start and why did they do it 820 00:37:34,750 --> 00:37:32,299 well there's a couple threads to pull on 821 00:37:37,030 --> 00:37:34,760 there one is of course that we can't 822 00:37:41,049 --> 00:37:37,040 forget the time of Halloween it's also a 823 00:37:43,150 --> 00:37:41,059 harvest festival it's the you know it's 824 00:37:44,650 --> 00:37:43,160 an autumnal festival and so it's the 825 00:37:48,190 --> 00:37:44,660 time when people are harvesting crops 826 00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:48,200 that have grown during the summer and so 827 00:37:52,210 --> 00:37:50,030 of course there's lots of things like 828 00:37:54,990 --> 00:37:52,220 pumpkins and gourds and and all of that 829 00:37:57,780 --> 00:37:55,000 are now fully grown and can be used 830 00:38:00,360 --> 00:37:57,790 the other one is the idea that as it 831 00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:00,370 there's I think an instinctual dread in 832 00:38:06,810 --> 00:38:04,240 humans of the dark and Halloween of 833 00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:06,820 course this time of the year is also the 834 00:38:12,060 --> 00:38:09,730 point in the yearly cycle where it 835 00:38:14,670 --> 00:38:12,070 starts to get dark it's summer is 836 00:38:17,010 --> 00:38:14,680 definitely over it's it's dark now it's 837 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:17,020 cold there's that but you know that 838 00:38:24,510 --> 00:38:20,770 unmistakable autumn chill the wind the 839 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:24,520 smell of Halloween in and and that's the 840 00:38:29,460 --> 00:38:26,890 coming of winter and so there's an 841 00:38:31,710 --> 00:38:29,470 instinct that winter is coming in and we 842 00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:31,720 can't forget that winter was not a 843 00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:35,680 trivial thing prior to you know things 844 00:38:39,210 --> 00:38:37,660 like electricity and electric heating 845 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:39,220 and things like that I mean people would 846 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:41,290 die during winter if they people did not 847 00:38:46,350 --> 00:38:43,330 get proper you know there wasn't enough 848 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:46,360 firewood if enough food had not been 849 00:38:51,930 --> 00:38:49,930 stored from the summer harvest if 850 00:38:54,210 --> 00:38:51,940 perhaps crops were blighted if there was 851 00:38:56,910 --> 00:38:54,220 less food than expected winter could be 852 00:38:59,100 --> 00:38:56,920 a very very grueling and frightening 853 00:39:00,840 --> 00:38:59,110 time and not every member of the tribe 854 00:39:02,430 --> 00:39:00,850 might make it not every member of the 855 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:02,440 family might make it you know people 856 00:39:07,170 --> 00:39:04,450 might die from lack of food or from cold 857 00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:07,180 so so there's a real fear there so 858 00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:08,830 there's that and I think that there was 859 00:39:15,060 --> 00:39:12,220 also this sense that it was because of 860 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:15,070 the coming of the darkness it was a kind 861 00:39:21,450 --> 00:39:18,370 of a an in-between neither here nor 862 00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:21,460 there it's right on the cusp of of these 863 00:39:26,460 --> 00:39:23,830 two seasons and so because of that 864 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:26,470 there's this sense of you know these 865 00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:28,930 this this space this inner zone between 866 00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:33,310 two worlds and so the idea you see this 867 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:35,350 idea repeated throughout cultures all 868 00:39:41,430 --> 00:39:38,650 over the world of wearing frightening 869 00:39:43,170 --> 00:39:41,440 masks or dressing up as demons or 870 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:43,180 monsters or creating things like 871 00:39:48,930 --> 00:39:45,010 jack-o'-lanterns with frightening faces 872 00:39:51,420 --> 00:39:48,940 or or you know creating some type you 873 00:39:53,550 --> 00:39:51,430 know scarecrows creating very frightful 874 00:39:55,710 --> 00:39:53,560 things but it's not to celebrate that 875 00:39:58,530 --> 00:39:55,720 it's actually that's always to scare 876 00:40:00,810 --> 00:39:58,540 away evil spirits it's to be more 877 00:40:03,420 --> 00:40:00,820 frightening and more scary into you know 878 00:40:06,180 --> 00:40:03,430 to have great festivals with loud noises 879 00:40:08,370 --> 00:40:06,190 and firecrackers and things like that to 880 00:40:11,279 --> 00:40:08,380 frighten away evil 881 00:40:14,969 --> 00:40:11,289 and evil spirits might manifest as you 882 00:40:18,029 --> 00:40:14,979 know blighted crop or you know you know 883 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:18,039 bad luck be falling the tribe or people 884 00:40:23,660 --> 00:40:21,130 freezing and things like that so there 885 00:40:28,229 --> 00:40:23,670 was a real sense that it wasn't just 886 00:40:31,019 --> 00:40:28,239 play-acting there was this this real 887 00:40:32,969 --> 00:40:31,029 meat of scare away evil or scare away 888 00:40:34,950 --> 00:40:32,979 bad luck and you see that repeated all 889 00:40:36,930 --> 00:40:34,960 over the world that James Fraser the 890 00:40:39,359 --> 00:40:36,940 very famous anthropologist talks about 891 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:39,369 this in the golden bow and this is 892 00:40:44,819 --> 00:40:41,890 really at the root of not just Halloween 893 00:40:46,499 --> 00:40:44,829 but tons of tons of festivals all over 894 00:40:49,319 --> 00:40:46,509 the world you see it in Mardi Gras you 895 00:40:52,559 --> 00:40:49,329 see it in Chinese New Year it's it's you 896 00:40:54,569 --> 00:40:52,569 know and I think that you know in it 897 00:40:56,729 --> 00:40:54,579 there's a real psychological component 898 00:40:58,499 --> 00:40:56,739 to it also when we're with other people 899 00:41:00,690 --> 00:40:58,509 and we're kind of going crazy and we're 900 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:00,700 being loud we get to forget ourselves 901 00:41:10,229 --> 00:41:06,970 and it scares away the you know the you 902 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:10,239 might say you know bad luck or or evil 903 00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:13,210 thoughts that come from isolation or 904 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:15,400 being separated from other people you 905 00:41:20,579 --> 00:41:16,930 know when we're just stuck by ourselves 906 00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:20,589 then the mind can turn to you know not 907 00:41:26,759 --> 00:41:23,910 not very healthy avenues whereas in the 908 00:41:29,959 --> 00:41:26,769 just from social isolation whereas in 909 00:41:32,609 --> 00:41:29,969 that setting of this loud raucous crazy 910 00:41:34,499 --> 00:41:32,619 group party you're with the group and 911 00:41:36,509 --> 00:41:34,509 you're all being loud in your Bureau 912 00:41:38,430 --> 00:41:36,519 live and the sense of life in you is 913 00:41:40,769 --> 00:41:38,440 pushing back the darkness for another 914 00:41:43,650 --> 00:41:40,779 day you know and that's true of any 915 00:41:46,829 --> 00:41:43,660 party I think so that's that's that's 916 00:41:49,650 --> 00:41:46,839 what it's all about in my opinion how 917 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:49,660 did you know witches and warlocks and 918 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:52,450 goblins and you know in devils and 919 00:41:59,910 --> 00:41:56,890 demons start to get associated with with 920 00:42:04,620 --> 00:41:59,920 Halloween where it's it went from one 921 00:42:06,989 --> 00:42:04,630 aspect of of celebrating the dead or the 922 00:42:09,539 --> 00:42:06,999 way that Christianity looked at it and 923 00:42:12,059 --> 00:42:09,549 going back to the Celtic traditions of 924 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:12,069 of you know the end of a season and I 925 00:42:19,289 --> 00:42:14,650 understand all of that and then it got 926 00:42:21,059 --> 00:42:19,299 twisted into this this horror side of it 927 00:42:21,690 --> 00:42:21,069 that that they tried to paint this 928 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:21,700 picture when 929 00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:24,010 that start and it's never really stopped 930 00:42:29,370 --> 00:42:26,830 has it right well we live in kind of a 931 00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:29,380 confused culture you know we live in a 932 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:30,910 well I don't necessarily want to say 933 00:42:34,260 --> 00:42:32,530 confuse but a culture where we have so 934 00:42:35,340 --> 00:42:34,270 many different influences from so many 935 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:35,350 different things so of course with 936 00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:38,410 Hollywood we've got you know I mean 937 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:40,510 what's what's there which shows up in in 938 00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:43,330 Halloween we've got the old pagan stuff 939 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:46,150 we've got demons from Christianity we've 940 00:42:51,540 --> 00:42:49,810 got Hollywood slasher movies we've got 941 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:51,550 but now people don't even dress up as 942 00:42:55,050 --> 00:42:53,290 just scary things it's like superheroes 943 00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:55,060 it's just like everything gets let out 944 00:42:59,460 --> 00:42:57,250 and this is kind of what I was touching 945 00:43:03,600 --> 00:42:59,470 upon earlier where Halloween over time 946 00:43:07,740 --> 00:43:03,610 has become less of a harvest festival or 947 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:07,750 less of a pagan thing and and more it's 948 00:43:12,990 --> 00:43:09,490 really in this country that they become 949 00:43:16,020 --> 00:43:13,000 much more of a holiday about the 950 00:43:19,590 --> 00:43:16,030 imagination in general and celebrating 951 00:43:24,210 --> 00:43:19,600 the imagination and that's something 952 00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:24,220 that we you know we don't always you 953 00:43:28,650 --> 00:43:26,560 know give Prague its proper do the rest 954 00:43:30,330 --> 00:43:28,660 of the year although we certainly love 955 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:30,340 to watch watch it in you know watch 956 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:32,890 movies and now people do cosplay all 957 00:43:36,930 --> 00:43:34,450 year round and things like that so 958 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:36,940 things have changed a little bit but you 959 00:43:41,010 --> 00:43:38,530 know we just live it we live in a 960 00:43:43,050 --> 00:43:41,020 mishmash culture where we've gotten so 961 00:43:45,150 --> 00:43:43,060 much stuff thrown at us by Hollywood I 962 00:43:47,220 --> 00:43:45,160 mean the whole idea of haunted houses 963 00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:47,230 and ghosts and things like that I mean 964 00:43:52,140 --> 00:43:50,200 that all comes from spiritualism and in 965 00:43:53,610 --> 00:43:52,150 the the end of the 19th century the 966 00:43:55,860 --> 00:43:53,620 beginning of the 20th century there was 967 00:43:57,810 --> 00:43:55,870 all that obsession with with trying to 968 00:43:59,700 --> 00:43:57,820 speak to the dead and what we see in 969 00:44:01,320 --> 00:43:59,710 movies like Paranormal Activity or 970 00:44:03,780 --> 00:44:01,330 hereditary and things like that that's 971 00:44:06,270 --> 00:44:03,790 very much the legacy of spiritualism 972 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:06,280 which was also a very American religious 973 00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:08,050 phenomenon but it's all thrown in there 974 00:44:12,260 --> 00:44:09,640 it's all a big mash I mean kind of like 975 00:44:15,060 --> 00:44:12,270 America I mean America in general is 976 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:15,070 that you can't really trace it to one 977 00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:17,530 culture or another it's got inherited 978 00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:19,630 its cultural DNA from this you know 979 00:44:24,390 --> 00:44:21,310 people have come here from all over the 980 00:44:26,610 --> 00:44:24,400 world to look for better lives and all 981 00:44:27,990 --> 00:44:26,620 of you know all of our traditions and 982 00:44:30,930 --> 00:44:28,000 you know have kind of been thrown 983 00:44:34,250 --> 00:44:30,940 together and made this new thing that's 984 00:44:38,260 --> 00:44:34,260 America so that's that's kind of 985 00:44:41,030 --> 00:44:38,270 that happened I think are you okay with 986 00:44:43,580 --> 00:44:41,040 you know when we're talking about magic 987 00:44:46,130 --> 00:44:43,590 and and of course the horror side of 988 00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:46,140 this and trying to scare you certainly 989 00:44:51,710 --> 00:44:48,660 and here in Southern California you are 990 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:51,720 very aware of all of the different theme 991 00:44:55,910 --> 00:44:53,610 parks that we have here 992 00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:55,920 I don't the the count is high I don't 993 00:45:01,960 --> 00:44:58,800 know what it is but their biggest 30 994 00:45:07,310 --> 00:45:01,970 days of the entire calendar year is 995 00:45:10,820 --> 00:45:07,320 Halloween right every one of them as the 996 00:45:13,220 --> 00:45:10,830 the biggest best Halloween scary night 997 00:45:16,460 --> 00:45:13,230 thing that goes on for 30 days goes on 998 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:16,470 all month and it has nothing to do with 999 00:45:24,220 --> 00:45:21,330 what Halloween used to be even 20 years 1000 00:45:27,940 --> 00:45:24,230 ago 30 years ago it is evolved into this 1001 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:27,950 this haunted house scary thing about 1002 00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:30,690 being frightened and it's not what 1003 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:33,240 Halloween was about how did this all 1004 00:45:38,930 --> 00:45:37,410 start and are you okay with it I don't 1005 00:45:41,270 --> 00:45:38,940 think it matter either I don't think my 1006 00:45:44,540 --> 00:45:41,280 opinion matters that much but I think 1007 00:45:47,060 --> 00:45:44,550 that I don't know if it is that 1008 00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:47,070 different I think that it's still the 1009 00:45:51,770 --> 00:45:50,400 same impulse it's still that same thing 1010 00:45:54,110 --> 00:45:51,780 because when people go to theme parks 1011 00:45:56,990 --> 00:45:54,120 it's still a group experience that's 1012 00:45:59,870 --> 00:45:57,000 still the it's still a crazy celebration 1013 00:46:03,050 --> 00:45:59,880 and you know it's kind of like horror 1014 00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:03,060 movies right people don't watch horror 1015 00:46:09,410 --> 00:46:06,050 movies because they want to actually be 1016 00:46:11,540 --> 00:46:09,420 disturbed or hurt in some way they watch 1017 00:46:13,490 --> 00:46:11,550 horror movies because it's a controlled 1018 00:46:17,150 --> 00:46:13,500 experience I was actually thinking about 1019 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:17,160 this last night and you know I was I was 1020 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:18,690 what why was I thinking about this I was 1021 00:46:24,470 --> 00:46:20,610 for some reason I ended up watching like 1022 00:46:27,380 --> 00:46:24,480 a YouTube a countdown of the top Friday 1023 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:27,390 13th movies you know or Friday the 13th 1024 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:29,970 movies ranked from worst to best and I 1025 00:46:34,130 --> 00:46:31,530 was thinking about this and I thought 1026 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:34,140 you know life is kind of like a slasher 1027 00:46:38,180 --> 00:46:36,330 movie right it's like you know we're all 1028 00:46:40,460 --> 00:46:38,190 being stalked by death we're all gonna 1029 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:40,470 die at some point and it's 1030 00:46:45,140 --> 00:46:43,050 uncontrollable and scary and we can't 1031 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:45,150 get away from it and no matter what we 1032 00:46:50,780 --> 00:46:48,170 do we can't bargain with it we 1033 00:46:53,540 --> 00:46:50,790 try as we might you know we there's 1034 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:53,550 nothing we can do to stop the fact that 1035 00:46:58,190 --> 00:46:55,410 death is inevitable right and people 1036 00:47:00,710 --> 00:46:58,200 have tried everything and will continue 1037 00:47:03,140 --> 00:47:00,720 to try every single thing they can to 1038 00:47:06,170 --> 00:47:03,150 get away from that fight finality of 1039 00:47:08,450 --> 00:47:06,180 life but so I think that people watch 1040 00:47:10,430 --> 00:47:08,460 horror movies because it allows it's a 1041 00:47:14,690 --> 00:47:10,440 cathartic it allows them a little taste 1042 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:14,700 of it and they can feel that fear that 1043 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:16,650 is really the existential fear of being 1044 00:47:20,330 --> 00:47:18,450 alive but then they can turn you know 1045 00:47:23,420 --> 00:47:20,340 but then they there's a conclusion to 1046 00:47:25,970 --> 00:47:23,430 the movie the good guys win maybe and 1047 00:47:27,530 --> 00:47:25,980 they can turn it off and walk away and 1048 00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:27,540 they've really it's again it's a 1049 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:29,760 pressure-release they've released some 1050 00:47:34,580 --> 00:47:32,370 of that some of that fear and dread just 1051 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:34,590 of being alive and I think that you know 1052 00:47:40,250 --> 00:47:37,410 haunted houses and scary houses are you 1053 00:47:42,530 --> 00:47:40,260 know theme parks are very much the same 1054 00:47:44,690 --> 00:47:42,540 but it also has that element of a group 1055 00:47:47,540 --> 00:47:44,700 pagan celebration where everyone's there 1056 00:47:49,340 --> 00:47:47,550 having it's it's a kind of religious 1057 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:49,350 thing not in the sense of being a 1058 00:47:54,530 --> 00:47:51,090 religion but in the sense that people 1059 00:47:57,890 --> 00:47:54,540 want this kind of shared experience that 1060 00:48:00,230 --> 00:47:57,900 takes them out of themselves and gives 1061 00:48:03,890 --> 00:48:00,240 them a heightened emotion of fear State 1062 00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:03,900 and that's of course you know they're 1063 00:48:07,850 --> 00:48:05,510 able to let go of 1064 00:48:09,710 --> 00:48:07,860 perhaps stress and fear that's built up 1065 00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:09,720 throughout the year that's that's the 1066 00:48:15,430 --> 00:48:11,520 quote we're gonna use from you from now 1067 00:48:17,660 --> 00:48:15,440 on the fear and dread of being alive 1068 00:48:19,430 --> 00:48:17,670 well if you want to get right well there 1069 00:48:23,330 --> 00:48:19,440 you go if you want to get right down to 1070 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:23,340 the truth there you go it's like nausea 1071 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:27,330 as jean-paul Sartre put it now what was 1072 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:29,850 I was just getting ready to ask you this 1073 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:34,050 and it popped up in Twitter what was 1074 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:37,530 Samhain let's get back to the basics 1075 00:48:43,130 --> 00:48:40,010 here for a second what was Samhain I 1076 00:48:46,070 --> 00:48:43,140 believe Samhain is the same it's the 1077 00:48:47,690 --> 00:48:46,080 same holiday isn't it it's just I have 1078 00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:47,700 to look it up I believe it's the same 1079 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:50,510 holiday or is it or is it all souls day 1080 00:48:58,340 --> 00:48:54,450 no it's oh okay so so Samhain is the 1081 00:49:00,570 --> 00:48:58,350 Gaelic festival of Halloween and it was 1082 00:49:03,390 --> 00:49:00,580 celebrated October 31st November 1083 00:49:06,650 --> 00:49:03,400 first so it is perhaps the original 1084 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:06,660 Celtic name of what became Halloween and 1085 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:12,610 how you mentioned this it is it a part 1086 00:49:19,020 --> 00:49:15,370 it's a part of our history that a lot of 1087 00:49:23,940 --> 00:49:19,030 a lot of us don't really understand but 1088 00:49:27,870 --> 00:49:23,950 the church needed to not so much make 1089 00:49:33,450 --> 00:49:27,880 peace but as it was gained strength by 1090 00:49:35,370 --> 00:49:33,460 by embracing the pagan religions of what 1091 00:49:38,940 --> 00:49:35,380 was going on in Great Britain and the 1092 00:49:41,220 --> 00:49:38,950 only way to do that was to look at a few 1093 00:49:44,610 --> 00:49:41,230 of their holidays too as well and bring 1094 00:49:46,350 --> 00:49:44,620 it into the Christian Church and the 1095 00:49:49,770 --> 00:49:46,360 Catholic Church and figure out a way to 1096 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:49,780 move forward like Easter and Sunday and 1097 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:52,450 what days of the week and what days were 1098 00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:54,610 rest and what days were yeah all of 1099 00:50:00,780 --> 00:49:58,570 these things were joined together and 1100 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:00,790 that's what they did with Halloween they 1101 00:50:05,610 --> 00:50:02,770 did the very same thing as they did like 1102 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:05,620 you mentioned Christmas is another 1103 00:50:12,810 --> 00:50:09,010 example that's right I mean you have to 1104 00:50:16,380 --> 00:50:12,820 remember in the you know Christianity 1105 00:50:17,730 --> 00:50:16,390 was an occupying force in Europe it 1106 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:17,740 wasn't just Great Britain it was all 1107 00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:21,130 Northern Europe and the tribes that were 1108 00:50:27,210 --> 00:50:23,680 there mm-hmm whether they were the you 1109 00:50:28,950 --> 00:50:27,220 know Gaelic Celtic or or you know the 1110 00:50:30,900 --> 00:50:28,960 Viking tribes things like this they they 1111 00:50:34,490 --> 00:50:30,910 had their own traditions and their own 1112 00:50:37,950 --> 00:50:34,500 religions and their own gods going back 1113 00:50:40,830 --> 00:50:37,960 thousands in some cases years that were 1114 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:40,840 totally tied into their sense of tribal 1115 00:50:47,630 --> 00:50:44,650 identity that were kind of an unbroken 1116 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:47,640 line from their ancestors that were 1117 00:50:54,620 --> 00:50:51,330 created from their own experience of 1118 00:50:57,270 --> 00:50:54,630 life and we're totally different from 1119 00:50:58,650 --> 00:50:57,280 you know the the Christian view of life 1120 00:51:01,650 --> 00:50:58,660 for instance if you look at northern 1121 00:51:03,870 --> 00:51:01,660 paganism and you look at their gods Thor 1122 00:51:07,020 --> 00:51:03,880 and Odin and Freya 1123 00:51:10,950 --> 00:51:07,030 none of those gods celebrate the idea of 1124 00:51:12,540 --> 00:51:10,960 meekness or being kind or you know 1125 00:51:14,020 --> 00:51:12,550 turning the other cheek now they were 1126 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:14,030 all fearsome 1127 00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:15,890 yours men and women it's like that show 1128 00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:17,330 Vikings you know it was like they were 1129 00:51:21,970 --> 00:51:19,610 all fearsome warriors as you know of 1130 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:21,980 course a classic phrasing and northern 1131 00:51:27,610 --> 00:51:26,450 paganism that is you know Jesus Jesus 1132 00:51:32,410 --> 00:51:27,620 wants you to repent 1133 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:32,420 Odin wants you to man the eff up so that 1134 00:51:38,620 --> 00:51:36,410 was very much what the what the what the 1135 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:38,630 north's gods were like and so when 1136 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:42,650 Christianity went through they decide 1137 00:51:46,500 --> 00:51:44,330 they had to conquer it but you know you 1138 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:46,510 can't really as we know from studying 1139 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:48,650 occupation forces and things like this 1140 00:51:55,540 --> 00:51:53,210 in history it's very very hard to just 1141 00:51:58,900 --> 00:51:55,550 replace the religion of an indigenous 1142 00:52:00,790 --> 00:51:58,910 people it's very hard and it can only be 1143 00:52:04,390 --> 00:52:00,800 done by violence and that's violence 1144 00:52:07,930 --> 00:52:04,400 that is costly that is bloody that is 1145 00:52:10,690 --> 00:52:07,940 very you know unpleasant for everyone 1146 00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:10,700 concerned and ultimately if it only 1147 00:52:15,390 --> 00:52:12,710 builds resentment and when you build a 1148 00:52:18,580 --> 00:52:15,400 resentment like that it breeds 1149 00:52:20,770 --> 00:52:18,590 revolution and it breeds you know it 1150 00:52:23,050 --> 00:52:20,780 causes more problems for the occupying 1151 00:52:24,670 --> 00:52:23,060 force down the line because it's just 1152 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:24,680 you know people are going to you know 1153 00:52:28,990 --> 00:52:26,210 train and guerrilla warfare and things 1154 00:52:31,270 --> 00:52:29,000 like that so the genius you know the 1155 00:52:34,300 --> 00:52:31,280 genius in a way of Christianity in 1156 00:52:37,510 --> 00:52:34,310 Europe is that they co-opted and this is 1157 00:52:39,550 --> 00:52:37,520 a strategy that people have have taken 1158 00:52:42,870 --> 00:52:39,560 sense the Roman Empire did similar 1159 00:52:45,670 --> 00:52:42,880 things but Christianity basically said 1160 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:45,680 keep your holidays keep your festivals 1161 00:52:49,630 --> 00:52:47,930 do don't you don't have to change your 1162 00:52:51,250 --> 00:52:49,640 way of life that much 1163 00:52:54,190 --> 00:52:51,260 you just have to submit to the church 1164 00:52:55,660 --> 00:52:54,200 you have to end and we will you can 1165 00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:55,670 still keep your holidays but we're going 1166 00:52:58,210 --> 00:52:57,170 to name them after Saints now and 1167 00:53:00,220 --> 00:52:58,220 they're going to be dedicated to the 1168 00:53:02,290 --> 00:53:00,230 church and so it's kind of a judo move 1169 00:53:07,180 --> 00:53:02,300 in a sense where instead of attacking 1170 00:53:10,060 --> 00:53:07,190 the energy they co-opted into their 1171 00:53:12,550 --> 00:53:10,070 system and this was a very very devious 1172 00:53:16,060 --> 00:53:12,560 and ingenious method of control that was 1173 00:53:18,010 --> 00:53:16,070 used to control Europe and has been has 1174 00:53:21,850 --> 00:53:18,020 been used to control Europe for so long 1175 00:53:25,270 --> 00:53:21,860 that people forgot that things had ever 1176 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:25,280 been any other way you know and and all 1177 00:53:31,630 --> 00:53:27,530 of those original pagan religions 1178 00:53:34,060 --> 00:53:31,640 and and ancestral forms and gods are 1179 00:53:36,850 --> 00:53:34,070 lost people have tried to reconstruct 1180 00:53:39,090 --> 00:53:36,860 them but the academic sources are very 1181 00:53:41,140 --> 00:53:39,100 scant and anything any type of new 1182 00:53:43,450 --> 00:53:41,150 paganism that people have tried to bring 1183 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:43,460 back as their for instance doing trying 1184 00:53:49,090 --> 00:53:45,050 to do very hard hard in Iceland right 1185 00:53:52,180 --> 00:53:49,100 now it has to be almost recreated from 1186 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:52,190 scratch because that way it was all just 1187 00:53:57,010 --> 00:53:55,130 paved over and and we have little 1188 00:54:00,850 --> 00:53:57,020 survivals of it here and there but you 1189 00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:00,860 know Jimmy I think that people don't 1190 00:54:05,020 --> 00:54:03,710 change that much and I think that it's 1191 00:54:07,770 --> 00:54:05,030 kind of like what we're talking about 1192 00:54:12,610 --> 00:54:07,780 with Halloween being a pressure-release 1193 00:54:15,130 --> 00:54:12,620 that the the memory never goes away it's 1194 00:54:18,820 --> 00:54:15,140 kind of like almost at a cellular or a 1195 00:54:20,410 --> 00:54:18,830 body level people still and and of 1196 00:54:22,570 --> 00:54:20,420 course the pagan rituals and all that 1197 00:54:24,750 --> 00:54:22,580 were an expression of something that 1198 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:24,760 people needed in human nature anyways 1199 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:26,930 Christianity very much celebrates the 1200 00:54:34,810 --> 00:54:31,010 idea of people being meek and docile and 1201 00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:34,820 and overcoming their animal nature as 1202 00:54:39,690 --> 00:54:37,280 whereas paganism in many ways celebrates 1203 00:54:41,830 --> 00:54:39,700 the animal nature of human beings and is 1204 00:54:44,770 --> 00:54:41,840 essentially just allows them to be as 1205 00:54:46,750 --> 00:54:44,780 they are and get their crazies out in a 1206 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:46,760 productive way like some of the ways 1207 00:54:51,990 --> 00:54:49,130 we've been talking about Janine just 1208 00:54:55,590 -->

01:00:34,760 like what's going on in Iceland right 1311 01:00:41,890 --> 01:00:38,180 now what's going on in Iceland oh yes 1312 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:41,900 there's actually there's a man named 1313 01:00:46,900 --> 01:00:44,930 Hilmar Orem he'll Merson and I I don't 1314 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:46,910 you know I'm for anyone who's from 1315 01:00:51,550 --> 01:00:48,290 Iceland I might have got that one wrong 1316 01:00:55,359 --> 01:00:51,560 too but he's a very very famous musician 1317 01:00:58,810 --> 01:00:55,369 who's also the head of the Asajj root 1318 01:01:02,280 --> 01:00:58,820 Church in Iceland oh so true is northern 1319 01:01:05,230 --> 01:01:02,290 paganism and he has been working on 1320 01:01:07,650 --> 01:01:05,240 building the first pagan temple I 1321 01:01:11,079 --> 01:01:07,660 believe in Northern Europe in the last 1322 01:01:14,079 --> 01:01:11,089 thousand years and it's either been 1323 01:01:16,990 --> 01:01:14,089 completed or just about to be completed 1324 01:01:20,170 --> 01:01:17,000 and paganism you know people are 1325 01:01:22,210 --> 01:01:20,180 actively worshipping the Norse gods in 1326 01:01:24,460 --> 01:01:22,220 Iceland for the first time again and 1327 01:01:26,319 --> 01:01:24,470 perhaps you know openly people have 1328 01:01:29,349 --> 01:01:26,329 always done it but openly in a real way 1329 01:01:31,780 --> 01:01:29,359 in the last thousand years and it's it's 1330 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:31,790 popping up in the mainstream news a lot 1331 01:01:37,569 --> 01:01:33,890 lately it's a huge project that they're 1332 01:01:40,349 --> 01:01:37,579 up to some of my friends over there have 1333 01:01:43,270 --> 01:01:40,359 told me about there's a real urge a real 1334 01:01:46,329 --> 01:01:43,280 people really want to rediscover their 1335 01:01:47,980 --> 01:01:46,339 authentic spirituality and a sense of 1336 01:01:51,849 --> 01:01:47,990 connection and I think it's no mistake 1337 01:01:54,250 --> 01:01:51,859 because we live in such a you know 1338 01:01:56,260 --> 01:01:54,260 disconnected time we live in a time in 1339 01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:56,270 which we're all isolated from each other 1340 01:02:00,730 --> 01:01:58,010 even though we have social media which 1341 01:02:03,370 --> 01:02:00,740 somehow seems to isolate us more we 1342 01:02:05,349 --> 01:02:03,380 don't have a sense of connection to our 1343 01:02:08,109 --> 01:02:05,359 ancestors or our past 1344 01:02:09,819 --> 01:02:08,119 we're very unrooted you know that's a 1345 01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:09,829 process that's of course been going on 1346 01:02:13,839 --> 01:02:12,050 since industrialization when people were 1347 01:02:17,690 --> 01:02:13,849 torn away from their families to go work 1348 01:02:20,010 --> 01:02:17,700 in factories but now even more so I mean 1349 01:02:23,250 --> 01:02:20,020 people don't really have an identity 1350 01:02:25,110 --> 01:02:23,260 outside of what's offered to them by you 1351 01:02:26,250 --> 01:02:25,120 know whatever the latest Star Wars movie 1352 01:02:28,740 --> 01:02:26,260 is or something like that 1353 01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:28,750 is the closest they get to having you 1354 01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:31,090 know their identity is what brands they 1355 01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:33,970 like what TV shows they like things like 1356 01:02:39,210 --> 01:02:36,880 that so I don't think it's any mistake 1357 01:02:41,310 --> 01:02:39,220 that there's a real hunger and a real 1358 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:41,320 need because that's part of human nature 1359 01:02:47,700 --> 01:02:45,130 we need to be connected to not just our 1360 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:47,710 own spirituality but our own past and 1361 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:49,210 our sense of where we've come from 1362 01:02:55,220 --> 01:02:51,970 otherwise we're unrooted and just 1363 01:02:59,520 --> 01:02:55,230 drifting in the the abyss of you know 1364 01:03:01,320 --> 01:02:59,530 hyper capitalist society what do we I 1365 01:03:03,750 --> 01:03:01,330 want to stay on this for a second 1366 01:03:07,350 --> 01:03:03,760 because I've always been interested in 1367 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:07,360 the pagan side of things but what do we 1368 01:03:13,140 --> 01:03:10,090 really know what do we really understand 1369 01:03:15,210 --> 01:03:13,150 are there texts and things that have 1370 01:03:18,510 --> 01:03:15,220 been handed down because when we look at 1371 01:03:22,140 --> 01:03:18,520 you know the origins of say stonehenge 1372 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:22,150 and that that was built by the pagans 1373 01:03:28,050 --> 01:03:25,690 but we really don't know or do we are 1374 01:03:30,930 --> 01:03:28,060 there texts and things that have been 1375 01:03:33,780 --> 01:03:30,940 handed down that go back you know three 1376 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:33,790 four thousand years there are bits and 1377 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:36,730 pieces but the reality is we really 1378 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:39,610 don't know anything and since the 60s 1379 01:03:47,010 --> 01:03:43,090 since the neo-pagan movement there has 1380 01:03:48,510 --> 01:03:47,020 been this real drive to resurrect these 1381 01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:48,520 things and to call them back and of 1382 01:03:54,300 --> 01:03:50,590 course a lot of the people who started 1383 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:54,310 neo-pagan groups in the 60s did so and 1384 01:03:58,020 --> 01:03:56,650 gave themselves an air of legitimacy by 1385 01:04:00,300 --> 01:03:58,030 saying that they were in some type of 1386 01:04:04,230 --> 01:04:00,310 unbroken tradition going back hundreds 1387 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:04,240 of years that had been had been you know 1388 01:04:07,500 --> 01:04:06,130 that had just been hidden during the 1389 01:04:09,450 --> 01:04:07,510 burning times or something like this but 1390 01:04:12,030 --> 01:04:09,460 the reality is you know all of these 1391 01:04:13,620 --> 01:04:12,040 things were created mostly out of you 1392 01:04:17,220 --> 01:04:13,630 know Tolkien books and things like that 1393 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:17,230 and there was a lot of make-believe and 1394 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:20,410 best guesses and I think that's changed 1395 01:04:26,250 --> 01:04:22,930 recently you know there's been a lot of 1396 01:04:28,140 --> 01:04:26,260 emphasis on academic rigor of which of 1397 01:04:29,790 --> 01:04:28,150 which my book is part you know in in the 1398 01:04:30,510 --> 01:04:29,800 magical world people really want to get 1399 01:04:32,340 --> 01:04:30,520 to that kind of 1400 01:04:35,550 --> 01:04:32,350 sources but even that said we still 1401 01:04:37,890 --> 01:04:35,560 don't know really anything if you want 1402 01:04:41,030 --> 01:04:37,900 to see an unbroken pagan tradition you 1403 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:41,040 have to go to India because Hinduism is 1404 01:04:47,610 --> 01:04:44,170 essentially very very similar in many 1405 01:04:52,290 --> 01:04:47,620 ways to what northern european paganism 1406 01:04:55,350 --> 01:04:52,300 was hinduism is much closer or I should 1407 01:04:58,050 --> 01:04:55,360 say northern paganism European paganism 1408 01:05:00,570 --> 01:04:58,060 is much much closer to Hinduism than 1409 01:05:03,540 --> 01:05:00,580 anything from Christianity they were 1410 01:05:05,820 --> 01:05:03,550 they're very very similar and and India 1411 01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:05,830 of course has had unbroken religious 1412 01:05:12,110 --> 01:05:08,290 continuity for perhaps ten thousand 1413 01:05:14,550 --> 01:05:12,120 years and it stands as a real 1414 01:05:17,310 --> 01:05:14,560 inspiration my friend a key setter Berg 1415 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:17,320 wrote a book called journeys and pagan 1416 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:20,050 India where he he's from Finland and he 1417 01:05:25,350 --> 01:05:23,290 went to India to rediscover what living 1418 01:05:26,940 --> 01:05:25,360 paganism is like because it's all around 1419 01:05:29,130 --> 01:05:26,950 you there it's the whole country it's 1420 01:05:32,970 --> 01:05:29,140 everyone is participating in it but then 1421 01:05:35,690 --> 01:05:32,980 he ultimately was drawn back to Northern 1422 01:05:40,190 --> 01:05:35,700 Europe and realized that he needed to 1423 01:05:42,660 --> 01:05:40,200 rekindle his own sense of of his own 1424 01:05:45,390 --> 01:05:42,670 ancestral tradition but that's a tall 1425 01:05:48,260 --> 01:05:45,400 order because we just I mean it's very 1426 01:05:50,670 --> 01:05:48,270 fragmentary not much was left after 1427 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:50,680 after you know the tide turned to 1428 01:05:58,380 --> 01:05:53,770 Christianity that's very interesting 1429 01:06:00,360 --> 01:05:58,390 because we know what okay let's make a 1430 01:06:04,590 --> 01:06:00,370 general statement let's just like piss 1431 01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:04,600 off everybody right now in in that is 1432 01:06:12,660 --> 01:06:09,090 every Christian Catholic holiday 1433 01:06:15,150 --> 01:06:12,670 celebration borrowed right and and then 1434 01:06:17,070 --> 01:06:15,160 if we if what you're suggesting here is 1435 01:06:23,220 --> 01:06:17,080 even the pagan traditions are those 1436 01:06:25,230 --> 01:06:23,230 borrowed from from India hmm well one 1437 01:06:28,470 --> 01:06:25,240 thing that has always fascinated me is 1438 01:06:30,870 --> 01:06:28,480 that and I feel I can't back this up but 1439 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:30,880 I feel this to be intuitively true as 1440 01:06:35,700 --> 01:06:32,890 somebody who spent a lot of time in 1441 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:35,710 India a lot of time immersed in Hinduism 1442 01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:37,930 basically you know and and the the pagan 1443 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:39,910 traditions of India glow throughout most 1444 01:06:45,580 --> 01:06:43,130 of my 20s frankly and or both 1445 01:06:47,530 --> 01:06:45,590 there and here and has also spent a lot 1446 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:47,540 of time obviously around magic and the 1447 01:06:52,450 --> 01:06:49,250 European traditions and the list which 1448 01:06:57,100 --> 01:06:52,460 traditions I think they were one thing I 1449 01:06:59,830 --> 01:06:57,110 think that it was one thing that kind of 1450 01:07:01,390 --> 01:06:59,840 ate an India and indo-european religion 1451 01:07:04,180 --> 01:07:01,400 if you will that wasn't an organized 1452 01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:04,190 religion but was like a form and a 1453 01:07:10,390 --> 01:07:06,530 pattern of life that stretched from 1454 01:07:13,090 --> 01:07:10,400 India to Europe I've seen hints online 1455 01:07:15,610 --> 01:07:13,100 or I've seen people sang online that 1456 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:15,620 it's believed that the Vatican that 1457 01:07:20,380 --> 01:07:17,690 there was what's called a Shiva Lingam 1458 01:07:22,690 --> 01:07:20,390 which is a statue that is a combined 1459 01:07:25,990 --> 01:07:22,700 male and females of male and female 1460 01:07:28,330 --> 01:07:26,000 genitals was the Vatican was built over 1461 01:07:31,330 --> 01:07:28,340 and in fact many of the of course many 1462 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:31,340 of the of the Christian sites in Europe 1463 01:07:36,970 --> 01:07:34,370 including st. Paul's in London were 1464 01:07:39,100 --> 01:07:36,980 built over pagan temples but I think 1465 01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:39,110 that it was probably one big thing 1466 01:07:45,820 --> 01:07:41,570 stretching across that part of the world 1467 01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:45,830 are we do you remember the film 1468 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:51,710 zeitgeist yes okay the opening five or 1469 01:08:00,330 --> 01:07:55,610 10 minutes of that film I watched over 1470 01:08:03,310 --> 01:08:00,340 and over and over again trying to absorb 1471 01:08:07,030 --> 01:08:03,320 the seriousness of what was being 1472 01:08:09,850 --> 01:08:07,040 presented there and and going back to 1473 01:08:12,310 --> 01:08:09,860 all of the you know the sunrise and and 1474 01:08:15,340 --> 01:08:12,320 sunset and set and what this really 1475 01:08:20,530 --> 01:08:15,350 meant going through Christianity and 1476 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:20,540 Jesus and and how many different deities 1477 01:08:26,830 --> 01:08:23,810 or worshipped symbols over the years all 1478 01:08:29,500 --> 01:08:26,840 were born of a Virgin Mother right for 1479 01:08:31,750 --> 01:08:29,510 example it's like everybody everybody 1480 01:08:35,530 --> 01:08:31,760 was born on Christmas Day and and what 1481 01:08:40,180 --> 01:08:35,540 December 25th was and and the changing 1482 01:08:43,180 --> 01:08:40,190 of the the sunset rising and going from 1483 01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:43,190 east to west all of that throughout and 1484 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:45,170 you go and you investigate that and it 1485 01:08:51,190 --> 01:08:49,010 seems to be based on truth well then 1486 01:08:54,579 --> 01:08:51,200 that kind of breaks down everything 1487 01:08:58,960 --> 01:08:54,589 which goes right to what Halloween is to 1488 01:09:01,750 --> 01:08:58,970 and is is is that something that we need 1489 01:09:05,260 --> 01:09:01,760 to take serious you know what I mean 1490 01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:05,270 we're all of them is that a pun the word 1491 01:09:11,470 --> 01:09:08,810 serious for a reason yes played well 1492 01:09:13,900 --> 01:09:11,480 played but yeah you know what I mean and 1493 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:13,910 and going to the three kings and the 1494 01:09:18,910 --> 01:09:16,250 three wise men and the stars in the sky 1495 01:09:22,540 --> 01:09:18,920 and and what all of this was represented 1496 01:09:24,730 --> 01:09:22,550 it didn't happen at the Year Zero right 1497 01:09:28,150 --> 01:09:24,740 this was something that was was going on 1498 01:09:30,730 --> 01:09:28,160 through all cultures and religions 1499 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:30,740 throughout the world predating 1500 01:09:35,740 --> 01:09:33,410 Christianity by you know in some cases 1501 01:09:39,510 --> 01:09:35,750 thousands of years like you're saying 1502 01:09:42,430 --> 01:09:39,520 with with India going back 10,000 years 1503 01:09:44,349 --> 01:09:42,440 well I look at it like this all when you 1504 01:09:47,050 --> 01:09:44,359 really get down to it all religions all 1505 01:09:48,940 --> 01:09:47,060 stories all art are attempts to make 1506 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:48,950 sense of the human experience and the 1507 01:09:52,870 --> 01:09:50,690 human experience is not that different 1508 01:09:55,480 --> 01:09:52,880 it is not you know from culture to 1509 01:09:58,480 --> 01:09:55,490 culture from person to person or from 1510 01:10:00,790 --> 01:09:58,490 millennia to millennia so human beings 1511 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:00,800 really have kind of a limited number of 1512 01:10:05,710 --> 01:10:03,770 symbols available to them what are the 1513 01:10:07,510 --> 01:10:05,720 what are the symbols the realities that 1514 01:10:11,740 --> 01:10:07,520 were confronted with on a day to day 1515 01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:11,750 basis you know the Sun the Moon the male 1516 01:10:19,540 --> 01:10:16,330 the female the cycle of plants the 1517 01:10:22,090 --> 01:10:19,550 animals in our lives the life cycle of a 1518 01:10:25,990 --> 01:10:22,100 human being from baby to adolescent to 1519 01:10:28,810 --> 01:10:26,000 adult to elderly to to on the deathbed 1520 01:10:31,060 --> 01:10:28,820 you know the this these are the symbols 1521 01:10:33,610 --> 01:10:31,070 that we have available to us and these 1522 01:10:35,890 --> 01:10:33,620 are the forces with which we must 1523 01:10:37,990 --> 01:10:35,900 contend and the forces that make up our 1524 01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:38,000 lives and these forces have been 1525 01:10:43,140 --> 01:10:40,490 symbolized by cultures all throughout 1526 01:10:47,770 --> 01:10:43,150 the world in different but similar ways 1527 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:47,780 either as occult symbols or as gods you 1528 01:10:52,570 --> 01:10:49,850 know gods of the Sun or gods of the Moon 1529 01:10:56,740 --> 01:10:52,580 or gods of time or gods of the harvest 1530 01:10:59,380 --> 01:10:56,750 you know the crops the the river this is 1531 01:11:03,160 --> 01:10:59,390 just the stuff of human life so when you 1532 01:11:08,070 --> 01:11:03,170 get down to the core fundamentals of 1533 01:11:11,010 --> 01:11:08,080 existence they're the same cross culture 1534 01:11:13,530 --> 01:11:11,020 and Krauss periods of time so it's not 1535 01:11:16,440 --> 01:11:13,540 any big conspiracy 1536 01:11:18,590 --> 01:11:16,450 there's so many similarities in religion 1537 01:11:21,390 --> 01:11:18,600 and so many repeating motifs and themes 1538 01:11:22,830 --> 01:11:21,400 the other the other part of it is that 1539 01:11:25,290 --> 01:11:22,840 you have to remember again prior to 1540 01:11:27,890 --> 01:11:25,300 Christianity these things were fluid 1541 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:27,900 there was not a sense of set dogmas 1542 01:11:33,450 --> 01:11:30,010 particularly when the Silk Road 1543 01:11:35,340 --> 01:11:33,460 still existed there was you know trade 1544 01:11:36,900 --> 01:11:35,350 along the Silk Road and different 1545 01:11:38,970 --> 01:11:36,910 cultures came into contact with each 1546 01:11:41,460 --> 01:11:38,980 other and they shared God's because they 1547 01:11:43,650 --> 01:11:41,470 didn't have this idea yet that there was 1548 01:11:45,900 --> 01:11:43,660 one right way and anything that did not 1549 01:11:49,470 --> 01:11:45,910 follow that one right way was heresy 1550 01:11:52,740 --> 01:11:49,480 that was a later development in history 1551 01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:52,750 and you know we can see that tendency 1552 01:11:58,130 --> 01:11:55,210 arising and in Christianity and Islam 1553 01:12:01,500 --> 01:11:58,140 and to some extent in Buddhism also of 1554 01:12:03,750 --> 01:12:01,510 you know people trying to codify a you 1555 01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:03,760 know one way that it works but prior to 1556 01:12:09,060 --> 01:12:07,330 that it was kind of like you know it's 1557 01:12:11,610 --> 01:12:09,070 just like if you imagine you're at a big 1558 01:12:13,500 --> 01:12:11,620 party or like a Burning Man and you know 1559 01:12:15,450 --> 01:12:13,510 you're having your party with your gods 1560 01:12:17,310 --> 01:12:15,460 but somebody over next to you and their 1561 01:12:18,990 --> 01:12:17,320 camp is having their party and well that 1562 01:12:20,730 --> 01:12:19,000 looks like fun you want to go like hang 1563 01:12:22,710 --> 01:12:20,740 out with them and then you know they 1564 01:12:25,290 --> 01:12:22,720 maybe they like with the way you do it 1565 01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:25,300 and it all kinds kind of you know mixes 1566 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:27,850 together and that's really what it was 1567 01:12:32,820 --> 01:12:30,130 like in the ancient world and along the 1568 01:12:35,550 --> 01:12:32,830 Silk Road so if you look at China and 1569 01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:35,560 India and Europe you'll see similarities 1570 01:12:40,830 --> 01:12:38,170 and even Egypt you'll see similarities 1571 01:12:42,570 --> 01:12:40,840 and blendings between all of them 1572 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:42,580 there's evidence even that there were 1573 01:12:46,830 --> 01:12:44,770 Greek there was you know Greek gods 1574 01:12:49,110 --> 01:12:46,840 ended up in Buddhism or vice-versa 1575 01:12:50,970 --> 01:12:49,120 Buddhism absolutely had an influence on 1576 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:50,980 Christianity Christianity would not have 1577 01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:53,410 happened without the influence of 1578 01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:55,450 Buddhism which which began 500 years 1579 01:12:59,850 --> 01:12:57,370 before Christianity and so on and so 1580 01:13:02,430 --> 01:12:59,860 forth you know it's just like you know 1581 01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:02,440 way the internet where everyone's kind 1582 01:13:08,550 --> 01:13:04,930 of you know cross pollinating that's 1583 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:08,560 just what humans do and with each of the 1584 01:13:15,420 --> 01:13:10,530 holidays and all of the religions 1585 01:13:18,990 --> 01:13:15,430 eventually it was all used in some form 1586 01:13:21,330 --> 01:13:19,000 or another to keep control to keep 1587 01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:21,340 society from spinning out of control 1588 01:13:27,180 --> 01:13:24,570 to create different rules and laws 1589 01:13:29,370 --> 01:13:27,190 basically to to make sure that we didn't 1590 01:13:33,629 --> 01:13:29,380 spin out of control we continue to 1591 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:33,639 reproduce we continue to harvest and and 1592 01:13:41,580 --> 01:13:39,010 and feed and and and and and and and 1593 01:13:43,830 --> 01:13:41,590 move on and develop so there's that 1594 01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:43,840 aspect of it and then certainly 1595 01:13:50,660 --> 01:13:46,449 Halloween had that those same things you 1596 01:13:54,270 --> 01:13:50,670 had mentioned this earlier a way to to 1597 01:13:58,229 --> 01:13:54,280 chase away evil spirits and it was a way 1598 01:14:01,859 --> 01:13:58,239 to control society and today Halloween 1599 01:14:04,850 --> 01:14:01,869 has not want to talk about magic where 1600 01:14:09,149 --> 01:14:04,860 we have witches and cauldrons and and 1601 01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:09,159 spiders and spells and potions and and 1602 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:12,610 and and and and things where that has 1603 01:14:17,899 --> 01:14:14,800 rolled into Halloween where that had 1604 01:14:20,939 --> 01:14:17,909 nothing to do with it before did it 1605 01:14:22,919 --> 01:14:20,949 right well you know these things were 1606 01:14:24,660 --> 01:14:22,929 under Christianity and during the Middle 1607 01:14:27,450 --> 01:14:24,670 Ages these things were absolutely used 1608 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:27,460 as a system of control and there wasn't 1609 01:14:31,470 --> 01:14:29,290 any distinction between church and state 1610 01:14:33,959 --> 01:14:31,480 by the way I'm not totally convinced 1611 01:14:35,820 --> 01:14:33,969 that's a completely negative thing I 1612 01:14:37,530 --> 01:14:35,830 think that society does need structure 1613 01:14:39,570 --> 01:14:37,540 and does need a certain level of control 1614 01:14:42,660 --> 01:14:39,580 because otherwise we just have anarchy 1615 01:14:45,750 --> 01:14:42,670 and violence and and people need 1616 01:14:48,930 --> 01:14:45,760 structure as much as the you know my 1617 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:48,940 inner you know anarchist or libertarian 1618 01:14:53,310 --> 01:14:51,610 or whatever as much as my you know that 1619 01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:53,320 part of me would love to believe that 1620 01:14:57,930 --> 01:14:56,050 people are you know will just inherently 1621 01:14:59,399 --> 01:14:57,940 do the right thing if they don't have 1622 01:15:01,530 --> 01:14:59,409 social control on them I don't think 1623 01:15:03,030 --> 01:15:01,540 that that's actually true I think that 1624 01:15:04,950 --> 01:15:03,040 people do need a certain level of 1625 01:15:07,620 --> 01:15:04,960 structure it makes them happy it makes 1626 01:15:11,910 --> 01:15:07,630 them it gives them a sense of structure 1627 01:15:13,669 --> 01:15:11,920 to their lives that said in terms of 1628 01:15:16,649 --> 01:15:13,679 you're talking about 1629 01:15:18,510 --> 01:15:16,659 you know the idea of witches and and 1630 01:15:22,169 --> 01:15:18,520 magic and things like that I think that 1631 01:15:25,910 --> 01:15:22,179 it's fascinating that that also has 1632 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:25,920 become part of this repressed world 1633 01:15:31,589 --> 01:15:29,050 because magic itself is also something 1634 01:15:34,020 --> 01:15:31,599 that people are quite often frightened 1635 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:34,030 of they're frightened of it because it 1636 01:15:37,750 --> 01:15:35,210 doesn't have 1637 01:15:40,750 --> 01:15:37,760 fools you know religion has rules it has 1638 01:15:41,590 --> 01:15:40,760 structure it has well-lit paths magic 1639 01:15:43,660 --> 01:15:41,600 doesn't have any of that 1640 01:15:47,979 --> 01:15:43,670 it has guidelines but you're basically 1641 01:15:50,709 --> 01:15:47,989 on your own and that again you know I 1642 01:15:54,340 --> 01:15:50,719 believe is more real it's more true 1643 01:15:56,290 --> 01:15:54,350 because magic gets closer to the truth 1644 01:15:58,890 --> 01:15:56,300 of the human experience that it's just 1645 01:16:01,720 --> 01:15:58,900 us naked shivering before the void and 1646 01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:01,730 and we need to make our own meaning and 1647 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:03,530 structure out of that and ultimately all 1648 01:16:07,890 --> 01:16:05,930 these human creative things like 1649 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:07,900 religion and social structure are 1650 01:16:14,100 --> 01:16:10,610 artificial forms that are just there to 1651 01:16:16,870 --> 01:16:14,110 keep social cohesion be that as it may 1652 01:16:19,180 --> 01:16:16,880 it's quite frightening to immerse 1653 01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:19,190 yourself totally into the world of magic 1654 01:16:23,470 --> 01:16:21,410 and the unconscious sometimes in the 1655 01:16:26,500 --> 01:16:23,480 sense that it forces you to confront 1656 01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:26,510 yourself and see what's truly inside 1657 01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:28,610 yourself this is what you know most 1658 01:16:33,310 --> 01:16:30,770 people frankly in the modern world spend 1659 01:16:36,100 --> 01:16:33,320 all of their time trying to avoid people 1660 01:16:37,510 --> 01:16:36,110 do everything they can to not have to 1661 01:16:39,310 --> 01:16:37,520 face themselves them you know that 1662 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:39,320 what's the new eyePHONE what's on 1663 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:43,370 Netflix let's go that's what drinks can 1664 01:16:48,220 --> 01:16:46,010 we drink what drugs can we do what you 1665 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:48,230 know political strife can we get wrapped 1666 01:16:54,820 --> 01:16:51,290 up in almost everything that people do 1667 01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:54,830 is this great you know drama this great 1668 01:17:01,060 --> 01:16:56,210 you know sound and fury signifying 1669 01:17:03,820 --> 01:17:01,070 nothing as Shakespeare put it just to in 1670 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:03,830 a way serve a similar function to what I 1671 01:17:08,470 --> 01:17:05,930 was talking about of scaring away of the 1672 01:17:10,709 --> 01:17:08,480 darkness just making these loud noises - 1673 01:17:13,959 --> 01:17:10,719 can you know - that scare away the 1674 01:17:15,790 --> 01:17:13,969 existential dread of existence but magic 1675 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:15,800 is different magic immerses you totally 1676 01:17:20,740 --> 01:17:18,410 in what's there and it's another one of 1677 01:17:23,950 --> 01:17:20,750 those forces that society often feels 1678 01:17:26,140 --> 01:17:23,960 they need to control much like sex 1679 01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:26,150 Society feels they need to control and 1680 01:17:33,790 --> 01:17:30,290 put strictures and bounds on and magic 1681 01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:33,800 is very much the same and so I don't 1682 01:17:36,910 --> 01:17:35,090 think it's any mistake that it's become 1683 01:17:38,860 --> 01:17:36,920 associated with this one day where it's 1684 01:17:40,750 --> 01:17:38,870 like okay on one day we will give you 1685 01:17:43,780 --> 01:17:40,760 one day and maybe it may be a little bit 1686 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:43,790 of the hangover of the next day to allow 1687 01:17:47,890 --> 01:17:45,770 these things to be real and allow these 1688 01:17:50,350 --> 01:17:47,900 allow these things out 1689 01:17:53,170 --> 01:17:50,360 into conscious awareness to allow 1690 01:17:55,810 --> 01:17:53,180 perhaps in psycho al psychoanalytical 1691 01:17:58,120 --> 01:17:55,820 terms to allow a breach of the 1692 01:18:00,700 --> 01:17:58,130 unconscious into conscious awareness but 1693 01:18:02,770 --> 01:18:00,710 of course as we all know the unconscious 1694 01:18:04,930 --> 01:18:02,780 is where the truth is the unconscious is 1695 01:18:08,230 --> 01:18:04,940 where the reality of who you actually 1696 01:18:10,900 --> 01:18:08,240 are is and and that's why people try to 1697 01:18:12,910 --> 01:18:10,910 keep the door slammed on it who I know 1698 01:18:17,830 --> 01:18:12,920 totally totally and so who was 1699 01:18:21,670 --> 01:18:17,840 responsible for the the dumbing down of 1700 01:18:23,290 --> 01:18:21,680 the holiday and incorporating like I 1701 01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:23,300 said witches and broomsticks and 1702 01:18:30,310 --> 01:18:26,690 spiderwebs and bats and and cauldrons 1703 01:18:34,780 --> 01:18:30,320 with with crazy you know mist coming out 1704 01:18:37,420 --> 01:18:34,790 of it and who is responsible for either 1705 01:18:40,780 --> 01:18:37,430 ruining the holiday or just taking it 1706 01:18:42,730 --> 01:18:40,790 completely out of context well I don't 1707 01:18:44,590 --> 01:18:42,740 necessarily know if it's ruined or taken 1708 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:44,600 out of context it's just expressed in a 1709 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:46,250 different form for the world that we 1710 01:18:51,340 --> 01:18:49,850 live in you know it's it's it's it's you 1711 01:18:54,790 --> 01:18:51,350 know it matches the world that we live 1712 01:18:57,730 --> 01:18:54,800 in in a way and I think that it's the 1713 01:19:00,250 --> 01:18:57,740 same it's just the spirit of our time in 1714 01:19:02,950 --> 01:19:00,260 a way it's like every other holiday at 1715 01:19:05,020 --> 01:19:02,960 least in America has become is our 1716 01:19:10,090 --> 01:19:05,030 holidays are no longer Christian in a 1717 01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:10,100 way because Christianity has ceased to 1718 01:19:14,530 --> 01:19:12,170 become a very prevalent force in America 1719 01:19:16,540 --> 01:19:14,540 and Christianity in a way has been 1720 01:19:20,170 --> 01:19:16,550 replaced with the consumer cults where 1721 01:19:24,450 --> 01:19:20,180 people are now they idolize consumerism 1722 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:24,460 and you know movies and TV and 1723 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:28,250 technology and you know the all-powerful 1724 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:32,210 market and so all of these holidays in a 1725 01:19:37,870 --> 01:19:35,810 way are no longer truly pagan and 1726 01:19:39,580 --> 01:19:37,880 they're certainly not Christian anymore 1727 01:19:42,430 --> 01:19:39,590 because what people are really 1728 01:19:44,620 --> 01:19:42,440 worshipping in a way is money or just 1729 01:19:48,460 --> 01:19:44,630 simply commercial activity in the sense 1730 01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:48,470 that Christmas is an excuse to buy lots 1731 01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:50,090 of stuff for the people in your life and 1732 01:19:53,290 --> 01:19:51,650 for most companies is you know the 1733 01:19:55,150 --> 01:19:53,300 holiday season is the most important 1734 01:19:57,190 --> 01:19:55,160 season of the year for them 1735 01:19:59,910 --> 01:19:57,200 Valentine's Day of course also a very 1736 01:20:01,560 --> 01:19:59,920 important consumer holiday because 1737 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:01,570 you know people buy things for their 1738 01:20:06,300 --> 01:20:03,730 sweethearts they get See's Candies they 1739 01:20:09,090 --> 01:20:06,310 get flowers you know and these things in 1740 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:09,100 a way have now been refashioned again 1741 01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:12,730 co-opted when christianity co-opted them 1742 01:20:16,850 --> 01:20:14,170 from paganism but now they've been 1743 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:16,860 co-opted from christianity in a sense by 1744 01:20:23,810 --> 01:20:21,130 capitalism and turned into a way to keep 1745 01:20:26,070 --> 01:20:23,820 the mark you know keep the flows of of 1746 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:26,080 commerce going they're kind of like 1747 01:20:30,959 --> 01:20:27,850 they've kind of become the stations in 1748 01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:30,969 the cycle of the market the rather than 1749 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:33,610 the natural growth cycle and they're 1750 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:35,410 very important to the US economy the 1751 01:20:39,150 --> 01:20:37,449 holiday season is critical holiday 1752 01:20:41,820 --> 01:20:39,160 earnings are critical for the stock 1753 01:20:44,970 --> 01:20:41,830 market and in Halloween and Valentine's 1754 01:20:47,610 --> 01:20:44,980 Day and to you know to some lesser 1755 01:20:50,250 --> 01:20:47,620 extent mother's and Father's Day and and 1756 01:20:53,250 --> 01:20:50,260 other holidays are very important 1757 01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:53,260 markers in the in the consumer cycle so 1758 01:20:58,979 --> 01:20:55,690 they've these holidays have again been 1759 01:21:01,169 --> 01:20:58,989 repurposed to perhaps you know our true 1760 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:01,179 God now Mammon which I think both 1761 01:21:05,010 --> 01:21:03,130 Christians and pagans alike would be 1762 01:21:07,169 --> 01:21:05,020 upset about if they thought about it for 1763 01:21:12,300 --> 01:21:07,179 more than five seconds yes certainly and 1764 01:21:14,790 --> 01:21:12,310 with with the criticism of the Catholic 1765 01:21:18,390 --> 01:21:14,800 Church today and Christianity and the 1766 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:18,400 attendance of churches as as and and you 1767 01:21:25,010 --> 01:21:21,610 know Saturday's has dropped do you see a 1768 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:25,020 future for paganism do you see a future 1769 01:21:32,610 --> 01:21:29,530 where you know we could have I mean 1770 01:21:35,430 --> 01:21:32,620 could it replace can it replace modern 1771 01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:35,440 religions well that's a big quiet that's 1772 01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:37,090 a fascinating question that's a that's a 1773 01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:40,449 big question too I think that well I'll 1774 01:21:44,330 --> 01:21:42,370 just go off demographic numbers because 1775 01:21:46,650 --> 01:21:44,340 I this is something that I look at a lot 1776 01:21:48,810 --> 01:21:46,660 every single religious did not a 1777 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:48,820 Christian denomination in America is 1778 01:21:53,580 --> 01:21:51,850 shrinking to the point where many of 1779 01:21:55,650 --> 01:21:53,590 these denominations are on the verge of 1780 01:21:57,840 --> 01:21:55,660 going completely extinct Presbyterianism 1781 01:21:59,090 --> 01:21:57,850 as an example Presbyterianism may not 1782 01:22:01,860 --> 01:21:59,100 exist in ten years 1783 01:22:05,100 --> 01:22:01,870 however Roman Catholicism is is still 1784 01:22:07,229 --> 01:22:05,110 growing very rapidly for various 1785 01:22:09,180 --> 01:22:07,239 demographic reasons and also because 1786 01:22:13,589 --> 01:22:09,190 they've expanded into Latin America and 1787 01:22:15,629 --> 01:22:13,599 Africa in America however and this is 1788 01:22:18,930 --> 01:22:15,639 paganism is the fastest-growing 1789 01:22:20,459 --> 01:22:18,940 religious demographic and particularly 1790 01:22:22,979 --> 01:22:20,469 among younger people I don't think 1791 01:22:24,089 --> 01:22:22,989 that's a big shock because you know 1792 01:22:25,950 --> 01:22:24,099 particularly younger people have all 1793 01:22:28,740 --> 01:22:25,960 been raised on Harry Potter and charmed 1794 01:22:30,810 --> 01:22:28,750 and Sabrina right right but I wouldn't 1795 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:30,820 necessarily say that it would be a 1796 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:32,770 replacement and I don't even know if 1797 01:22:36,899 --> 01:22:34,690 that would be a good thing but it's 1798 01:22:39,629 --> 01:22:36,909 certainly in our current world it's all 1799 01:22:43,319 --> 01:22:39,639 being allowed to regrow where it was 1800 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:43,329 once cut off almost at the roots it's 1801 01:22:49,830 --> 01:22:48,010 now regrowing and in and I think that it 1802 01:22:51,959 --> 01:22:49,840 really offers young people a sense of 1803 01:22:55,919 --> 01:22:51,969 empowerment which is not something that 1804 01:22:58,229 --> 01:22:55,929 they get from certainly not the media 1805 01:23:01,410 --> 01:22:58,239 probably not from parents probably not 1806 01:23:03,959 --> 01:23:01,420 from the school system our young people 1807 01:23:09,510 --> 01:23:03,969 feel very powerless and adrift and 1808 01:23:12,030 --> 01:23:09,520 hopeless and paganism gives them a sense 1809 01:23:15,629 --> 01:23:12,040 of personal empowerment in a way that 1810 01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:15,639 very few things can and for that reason 1811 01:23:19,589 --> 01:23:17,650 I think it's gonna keep growing and and 1812 01:23:23,089 --> 01:23:19,599 keep getting bigger and bigger and I 1813 01:23:24,810 --> 01:23:23,099 hope becoming more mature and more 1814 01:23:27,149 --> 01:23:24,820 theologically mature and that's 1815 01:23:31,379 --> 01:23:27,159 something that I've hoped to play a role 1816 01:23:33,930 --> 01:23:31,389 doing in my life and because it is quite 1817 01:23:35,700 --> 01:23:33,940 frankly not a particularly theologically 1818 01:23:38,689 --> 01:23:35,710 mature religion certainly not when you 1819 01:23:41,609 --> 01:23:38,699 compare it to something like you know 1820 01:23:42,930 --> 01:23:41,619 you know even Catholicism or even even 1821 01:23:45,780 --> 01:23:42,940 Buddhism in a sense it doesn't have a 1822 01:23:48,270 --> 01:23:45,790 fully worked-out metaphysics so that's 1823 01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:48,280 something that I've been doing my part 1824 01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:52,090 to contribute to but broadly speaking I 1825 01:23:57,270 --> 01:23:55,570 think that I'm not it and I I don't mean 1826 01:24:00,000 --> 01:23:57,280 to bash Christianity by the layer or 1827 01:24:02,729 --> 01:24:00,010 give that they can give a sense that I'm 1828 01:24:05,010 --> 01:24:02,739 anti Christianity I'm very Pro true 1829 01:24:06,930 --> 01:24:05,020 Christianity I certainly don't like the 1830 01:24:10,530 --> 01:24:06,940 abuses that we've seen in the Catholic 1831 01:24:12,180 --> 01:24:10,540 Church or the excesses of Evangelic the 1832 01:24:14,310 --> 01:24:12,190 you know the the evangelical movement 1833 01:24:17,220 --> 01:24:14,320 and things like that I'm Pro true 1834 01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:17,230 Christianity I'm Pro spirituality and I 1835 01:24:22,140 --> 01:24:20,050 think that we need whatever it is we do 1836 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:22,150 need spirituality because we live in a 1837 01:24:27,100 --> 01:24:25,570 culture that only offers us stuff to buy 1838 01:24:29,620 --> 01:24:27,110 and that's not enough 1839 01:24:32,310 --> 01:24:29,630 we have we're gonna take a break here in 1840 01:24:35,260 --> 01:24:32,320 two minutes help me understand as 1841 01:24:38,740 --> 01:24:35,270 quickly as you can when it comes to 1842 01:24:41,050 --> 01:24:38,750 paganism is there you know here you know 1843 01:24:44,650 --> 01:24:41,060 with a Catholicism and Christianity 1844 01:24:47,290 --> 01:24:44,660 where you have you know God right God 1845 01:24:50,170 --> 01:24:47,300 whatever that may be is there the same 1846 01:24:55,090 --> 01:24:50,180 thing in paganism is there is there a 1847 01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:55,100 God well it depends on where you angle 1848 01:24:59,260 --> 01:24:57,410 you look from I would say in the true 1849 01:24:59,800 --> 01:24:59,270 sense and and when you really get down 1850 01:25:02,800 --> 01:24:59,810 to it 1851 01:25:05,230 --> 01:25:02,810 paganism is very much similar to animism 1852 01:25:07,060 --> 01:25:05,240 or at the low reaches or the high 1853 01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:07,070 registers it's very similar to the 1854 01:25:11,500 --> 01:25:08,930 non-dual enlightenment traditions or a 1855 01:25:13,780 --> 01:25:11,510 Beethoven danta where really the core of 1856 01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:13,790 paganism is seeing everything as divine 1857 01:25:19,450 --> 01:25:16,010 you know God is kind of manifest as 1858 01:25:21,730 --> 01:25:19,460 everything including all of nature and 1859 01:25:24,580 --> 01:25:21,740 everything is holy nothing is separate 1860 01:25:26,710 --> 01:25:24,590 from that primal unity and that it's 1861 01:25:31,900 --> 01:25:26,720 very heretic in that sense is there 1862 01:25:34,990 --> 01:25:31,910 these are those they're creator it some 1863 01:25:36,460 --> 01:25:35,000 some pagan traditions you know we'll 1864 01:25:39,580 --> 01:25:36,470 talk about the goddess or the Horned God 1865 01:25:44,500 --> 01:25:39,590 or they'll simply worship nature as the 1866 01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:44,510 Creator but it depicted but it's not it 1867 01:25:50,290 --> 01:25:46,490 tends not to be the judeo-christian God 1868 01:25:54,430 --> 01:25:50,300 and and is there a God that you can piss 1869 01:25:56,650 --> 01:25:54,440 off and be banished somewhere well I 1870 01:26:00,790 --> 01:25:56,660 think that most pagan groups tend to be 1871 01:26:02,310 --> 01:26:00,800 very you know have a broad way of 1872 01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:02,320 looking at this where they tend to 1873 01:26:07,390 --> 01:26:04,850 celebrate lots and lots of gods I mean 1874 01:26:09,250 --> 01:26:07,400 paganism is paulius polytheistic by its 1875 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:09,260 very nature so you'll often see modern 1876 01:26:15,460 --> 01:26:12,530 pagans worshipping let's say Egyptian 1877 01:26:18,460 --> 01:26:15,470 gods and Hindu gods and Norse gods and 1878 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:18,470 perhaps also Jesus and and putting all 1879 01:26:23,050 --> 01:26:19,730 this together in the sense that all 1880 01:26:25,270 --> 01:26:23,060 these gods can coexist and that perhaps 1881 01:26:27,750 --> 01:26:25,280 you go to different gods because they 1882 01:26:29,950 --> 01:26:27,760 have different specialties for 1883 01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:29,960 addressing different things in your life 1884 01:26:35,140 --> 01:26:32,090 that's how I tend to see a practiced on 1885 01:26:37,180 --> 01:26:35,150 the ground where people you know often 1886 01:26:39,070 --> 01:26:37,190 you know people have a very very liberal 1887 01:26:40,190 --> 01:26:39,080 take well they're interested in 1888 01:26:43,190 --> 01:26:40,200 everything and they want 1889 01:26:46,340 --> 01:26:43,200 to incorporate anything as long as it 1890 01:26:48,650 --> 01:26:46,350 helps them it's an unbelievably 1891 01:26:51,140 --> 01:26:48,660 fascinating subject when we talk about 1892 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:51,150 paganism I have tried to get to the 1893 01:26:56,750 --> 01:26:53,970 bottom line and like you said there 1894 01:26:59,450 --> 01:26:56,760 isn't a continuous not like India right 1895 01:27:02,450 --> 01:26:59,460 there but the the traditions are broken 1896 01:27:05,060 --> 01:27:02,460 in

01:33:00,840 --> 01:32:57,760 other worldliness the smell how it feels 2028 01:33:03,390 --> 01:33:00,850 in in autumn the the cold breeze things 2029 01:33:06,180 --> 01:33:03,400 like that it just adds up to this this 2030 01:33:10,740 --> 01:33:06,190 mystical time is it because you got all 2031 01:33:14,220 --> 01:33:10,750 jacked up on sugar for a month that must 2032 01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:14,230 be a basically yeah yeah he's looking 2033 01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:15,850 back it's right so it's probably like 2034 01:33:18,930 --> 01:33:17,530 the worst thing to do for growing 2035 01:33:21,090 --> 01:33:18,940 children right it's just like completely 2036 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:21,100 like Jack them up on high fructose corn 2037 01:33:25,560 --> 01:33:23,410 syrup you know and it's not just the one 2038 01:33:27,690 --> 01:33:25,570 day too because if you stock up on the 2039 01:33:30,690 --> 01:33:27,700 on all the candy that you get you could 2040 01:33:33,390 --> 01:33:30,700 be eating that for weeks for weeks and 2041 01:33:35,700 --> 01:33:33,400 even you know what's funny at the end of 2042 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:35,710 you know three weeks four weeks and

worst to eat too as well 2046 01:33:48,300 --> 01:33:46,420 but he did did at all it was always it 2047 01:33:50,670 --> 01:33:48,310 was always the for me it was always the 2048 01:33:52,740 --> 01:33:50,680 plain tootsie rolls were what we're left 2049 01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:52,750 at the bottom they're the least exciting 2050 01:34:01,590 --> 01:33:55,570 at least exciting candy yeah or more 2051 01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:01,600 like dum-dums right oh man I just I 2052 01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:05,770 loved I never had a bad Halloween memory 2053 01:34:10,110 --> 01:34:08,290 I really

01:34:59,930 holiday I to me it's just one of the 2071 01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:03,500 best it's a tradition yeah yeah it is it 2072 01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:06,890 is now I wanted to ask you let's go back 2073 01:35:11,530 --> 01:35:10,610 to warlocks for a second was John Dee no 2074 01:35:13,630 --> 01:35:11,540 I'm being serious 2075 01:35:15,790 --> 01:35:13,640 first over from Snickers to Orleans yes 2076 01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:15,800 and it all makes sense will you said 2077 01:35:20,740 --> 01:35:17,330 vampire circle 2078 01:35:25,900 --> 01:35:20,750 you said vampire was was John Dee a 2079 01:35:29,530 --> 01:35:25,910 warlock in in the classical sense well 2080 01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:29,540 he not really because if you if we 2081 01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:31,850 really want to get you know nitpicky 2082 01:35:39,580 --> 01:35:35,690 about it the witchcraft and the whole 2083 01:35:41,770 --> 01:35:39,590 witchcraft is really a much more it's 2084 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:41,780 closer to European paganism like we were 2085 01:35:46,990 --> 01:35:43,610 talking about it's much more of a folk 2086 01:35:49,630 --> 01:35:47,000 tradition and like something that's done 2087 01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:49,640 around the hearth and is passed down in 2088 01:36:02,020 --> 01:35:58,270 estación Stethem at achill and spiritual 2089 01:36:04,270 --> 01:36:02,030 thinker and in the tradition of Western 2090 01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:04,280 ceremonial magic which certainly 2091 01:36:09,250 --> 01:36:06,890 borrowed from witchcraft for instance in 2092 01:36:12,030 --> 01:36:09,260 the case of Cornelius Agrippa who 2093 01:36:14,140 --> 01:36:12,040 codified some of the rituals and 2094 01:36:15,610 --> 01:36:14,150 doctrines of witchcraft in his book 2095 01:36:18,310 --> 01:36:15,620 three three books of occult philosophy 2096 01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:18,320 and incorporated them into the corpus of 2097 01:36:24,910 --> 01:36:22,010 ceremonial magic but what John Dee was 2098 01:36:26,529 --> 01:36:24,920 doing was much closer to the science of 2099 01:36:29,770 --> 01:36:26,539 his day than 2100 01:36:32,020 --> 01:36:29,780 perhaps you know folk witchcraft and in 2101 01:36:34,689 --> 01:36:32,030 in that sense he wasn't exactly a 2102 01:36:36,970 --> 01:36:34,699 warlock if a warlock is a male witch 2103 01:36:42,129 --> 01:36:36,980 although Edward Kelly his associate was 2104 01:36:46,839 --> 01:36:42,139 much closer to that that image the the 2105 01:36:47,620 --> 01:36:46,849 the magic today and where we can talk 2106 01:36:51,370 --> 01:36:47,630 about 2107 01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:51,380 Wiccans or witches are they synonymous 2108 01:36:56,950 --> 01:36:55,010 or what is the difference well again 2109 01:36:59,100 --> 01:36:56,960 it's one of these things that when we're 2110 01:37:02,979 --> 01:36:59,110 talking about people today it doesn't 2111 01:37:04,959 --> 01:37:02,989 truly matter because well that's the 2112 01:37:06,399 --> 01:37:04,969 wrong way to put it ultimately at the 2113 01:37:07,950 --> 01:37:06,409 end of the day all of this stuff has 2114 01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:07,960 been constructed from people's 2115 01:37:12,189 --> 01:37:10,730 imaginations or reconstructed from books 2116 01:37:13,390 --> 01:37:12,199 when we're talking about neo-paganism 2117 01:37:15,339 --> 01:37:13,400 and that's the statement it's gonna 2118 01:37:17,649 --> 01:37:15,349 upset a lot of people but it's also true 2119 01:37:20,009 --> 01:37:17,659 that the modern neo-pagan movement and 2120 01:37:23,979 --> 01:37:20,019 witchcraft movement are largely 2121 01:37:25,839 --> 01:37:23,989 reconstructed and not really based in 2122 01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:25,849 many cases that the you know there's 2123 01:37:31,180 --> 01:37:28,250 things taken from fantasy novels there's 2124 01:37:33,339 --> 01:37:31,190 things that people have taken from TV 2125 01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:33,349 shows and movies and things like that or 2126 01:37:43,779 --> 01:37:37,570 just from their own intuition and so 2127 01:37:45,370 --> 01:37:43,789 there's not yeah mmm yeah I mean it's 2128 01:37:48,490 --> 01:37:45,380 it's a fuzzy territory 2129 01:37:50,830 --> 01:37:48,500 it's manat to get too specific about 2130 01:37:52,660 --> 01:37:50,840 these things because the difference is 2131 01:37:55,149 --> 01:37:52,670 at the end of the day are pretty small 2132 01:37:57,490 --> 01:37:55,159 if you really zoom out far enough it's 2133 01:38:00,970 --> 01:37:57,500 it's like that people in the magic world 2134 01:38:04,209 --> 01:38:00,980 love to label and categorize themselves 2135 01:38:06,549 --> 01:38:04,219 and say well oh I'm a I'm a haven or I 2136 01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:06,559 am a gardener II and Wiccan or I'm a 2137 01:38:11,799 --> 01:38:09,650 traditional witch or I'm at on track or 2138 01:38:14,350 --> 01:38:11,809 whatever but you know for the majority 2139 01:38:16,899 --> 01:38:14,360 of society it all looks the same to them 2140 01:38:18,879 --> 01:38:16,909 so you just zoom out and look from the 2141 01:38:21,129 --> 01:38:18,889 outside and there's not really a whole 2142 01:38:23,169 --> 01:38:21,139 lot of difference between these belief 2143 01:38:25,899 --> 01:38:23,179 structures and when you kind of put them 2144 01:38:28,569 --> 01:38:25,909 all together demographically that's when 2145 01:38:31,540 --> 01:38:28,579 you get that figure that paganism as a 2146 01:38:34,450 --> 01:38:31,550 whole is you know the fastest growing 2147 01:38:36,310 --> 01:38:34,460 religious group in America but it's only 2148 01:38:39,310 --> 01:38:36,320 when you see all these things as kind of 2149 01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:39,320 one you know different flavors of one 2150 01:38:41,980 --> 01:38:40,250 phenomenon 2151 01:38:44,530 --> 01:38:41,990 like the 31 flavors at baskin-robbins 2152 01:38:46,750 --> 01:38:44,540 which again will upset people but it 2153 01:38:50,440 --> 01:38:46,760 kind of is the truth if you zoom out far 2154 01:38:53,860 --> 01:38:50,450 enough well why is it that help me 2155 01:38:56,950 --> 01:38:53,870 understand this because you do I don't 2156 01:39:00,910 --> 01:38:56,960 understand when and I hear it all the 2157 01:39:02,980 --> 01:39:00,920 time where I'll hear you know what I'm a 2158 01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:02,990 Wiccan don't lump me and I'm not a witch 2159 01:39:09,130 --> 01:39:05,930 right don't lump me in with that and I 2160 01:39:12,700 --> 01:39:09,140 don't understand like you said they're 2161 01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:12,710 very quick to to classify themselves in 2162 01:39:20,290 --> 01:39:15,170 in that circle of magic that out here on 2163 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:20,300 the outside it we don't understand well 2164 01:39:24,490 --> 01:39:22,730 look everyone wants to be special and 2165 01:39:26,410 --> 01:39:24,500 everyone wants to you know have 2166 01:39:28,270 --> 01:39:26,420 attention for their flavor being 2167 01:39:30,940 --> 01:39:28,280 slightly different and that's not just 2168 01:39:32,410 --> 01:39:30,950 magic I mean there's the the phrase that 2169 01:39:35,110 --> 01:39:32,420 you may know the tyranny of small 2170 01:39:37,540 --> 01:39:35,120 differences that is basically means that 2171 01:39:40,390 --> 01:39:37,550 in any group where people are pretty 2172 01:39:43,210 --> 01:39:40,400 much all the same what happens is people 2173 01:39:45,010 --> 01:39:43,220 obsess over minor differences and turn 2174 01:39:45,970 --> 01:39:45,020 them into a way bigger deal than they 2175 01:39:48,850 --> 01:39:45,980 actually are 2176 01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:48,860 because one of the things both the 2177 01:39:55,870 --> 01:39:52,610 strengths and weaknesses of paganism or 2178 01:39:58,210 --> 01:39:55,880 or magic or or neo-paganism in general 2179 01:40:01,290 --> 01:39:58,220 is that it's a very individualistic 2180 01:40:03,700 --> 01:40:01,300 thing it's not as much congregational 2181 01:40:08,500 --> 01:40:03,710 outside of perhaps Wicca or things like 2182 01:40:10,810 --> 01:40:08,510 this whereas in Christianity or other 2183 01:40:12,850 --> 01:40:10,820 mass religions like that there's one 2184 01:40:15,700 --> 01:40:12,860 truth and it you go to church and 2185 01:40:17,470 --> 01:40:15,710 everyone's on the same page whereas in 2186 01:40:19,660 --> 01:40:17,480 the neo-pagan groups it's very much 2187 01:40:23,440 --> 01:40:19,670 about the individual about individual 2188 01:40:25,390 --> 01:40:23,450 empowerment about people becoming you 2189 01:40:27,940 --> 01:40:25,400 know what living the life they want to 2190 01:40:30,180 --> 01:40:27,950 live becoming special in some way and so 2191 01:40:32,770 --> 01:40:30,190 what ends up happening is that's very 2192 01:40:34,750 --> 01:40:32,780 strong that's a real strength because 2193 01:40:36,430 --> 01:40:34,760 people make their own way and it's it's 2194 01:40:38,290 --> 01:40:36,440 a spirituality that they create for 2195 01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:38,300 themselves and carve out for themselves 2196 01:40:45,910 --> 01:40:41,810 and almost create as an artistic work 2197 01:40:47,290 --> 01:40:45,920 but it becomes a weakness because for 2198 01:40:49,930 --> 01:40:47,300 the reason we're discussing where 2199 01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:49,940 there's no uniformity of belief between 2200 01:40:53,830 --> 01:40:52,850 people and so people very much will end 2201 01:40:57,190 --> 01:40:53,840 up in this too 2202 01:40:58,750 --> 01:40:57,200 any of small differences and saying well 2203 01:41:01,390 --> 01:40:58,760 you know oh well you're not doing it 2204 01:41:04,060 --> 01:41:01,400 you're you're a Wiccan and I'm a fella 2205 01:41:07,300 --> 01:41:04,070 might so I'm we're obviously totally on 2206 01:41:09,550 --> 01:41:07,310 different pages and you know it becomes 2207 01:41:11,350 --> 01:41:09,560 it's like it's like trying to have an 2208 01:41:13,950 --> 01:41:11,360 anarchist meeting you know like that old 2209 01:41:16,210 --> 01:41:13,960 joke you know it's like herding cats and 2210 01:41:17,950 --> 01:41:16,220 so that's what that becomes a weakness 2211 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:17,960 ultimately of neo-paganism where 2212 01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:19,850 everyone is so individualistic that they 2213 01:41:26,230 --> 01:41:23,210 find it hard to all get on the same page 2214 01:41:27,370 --> 01:41:26,240 and so I don't know I mean for people on 2215 01:41:29,650 --> 01:41:27,380 the outside that must seem very 2216 01:41:32,530 --> 01:41:29,660 confusing it's also confusing on the 2217 01:41:36,130 --> 01:41:32,540 inside and but that's kind of a deal 2218 01:41:39,580 --> 01:41:36,140 with with paganism and then we have one 2219 01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:39,590 of the scariest words out there it that 2220 01:41:48,460 --> 01:41:44,290 has been very generalized is a cult and 2221 01:41:52,480 --> 01:41:48,470 when we hear most of society when they 2222 01:41:53,110 --> 01:41:52,490 hear a cult they immediately go to the 2223 01:41:55,060 --> 01:41:53,120 dark side 2224 01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:55,070 and then you have the defenders of the 2225 01:42:00,130 --> 01:41:56,810 word which will say no it just means 2226 01:42:05,710 --> 01:42:00,140 hidden well you know what it's it's hard 2227 01:42:08,950 --> 01:42:05,720 to change the mind or mindsets when it 2228 01:42:11,440 --> 01:42:08,960 comes to a word like the occult let's 2229 01:42:16,170 --> 01:42:11,450 let's clearly define it now because the 2230 01:42:20,230 --> 01:42:16,180 occult has been now associated with with 2231 01:42:24,730 --> 01:42:20,240 Halloween or or darkness when certainly 2232 01:42:28,150 --> 01:42:24,740 that is not the case or is it right well 2233 01:42:30,460 --> 01:42:28,160 I it I the occult is too broad of a term 2234 01:42:32,710 --> 01:42:30,470 I you know in my work I used the the 2235 01:42:35,380 --> 01:42:32,720 phrase Western esoteric tradition which 2236 01:42:37,270 --> 01:42:35,390 is really the hidden spiritual tradition 2237 01:42:40,090 --> 01:42:37,280 of the West that is the parent tradition 2238 01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:40,100 of science and it has a run throughout 2239 01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:41,690 you know and could also be called 2240 01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:44,690 Hermeticism and we need to be specific 2241 01:42:49,780 --> 01:42:46,370 about terms like that but in general 2242 01:42:53,440 --> 01:42:49,790 occult means hidden and it means you 2243 01:42:57,580 --> 01:42:53,450 know a form of spirituality that is not 2244 01:42:59,140 --> 01:42:57,590 generally practiced by the masses so but 2245 01:43:02,260 --> 01:42:59,150 there's a real issue there which is 2246 01:43:04,750 --> 01:43:02,270 we've had decades of fear propaganda 2247 01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:04,760 from Hollywood and there's a big round 2248 01:43:08,050 --> 01:43:06,650 of it that's just happened again you 2249 01:43:11,020 --> 01:43:08,060 know of course in the 70s there 2250 01:43:14,530 --> 01:43:11,030 movies like The Exorcist and Rosemary's 2251 01:43:17,650 --> 01:43:14,540 Baby that have zero to do with anything 2252 01:43:19,690 --> 01:43:17,660 in neo-paganism or as the occult and 2253 01:43:21,660 --> 01:43:19,700 they're just shock movies largely 2254 01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:21,670 designed to scare people away from 2255 01:43:27,870 --> 01:43:24,610 straying too far perhaps from the church 2256 01:43:30,130 --> 01:43:27,880 but and and those movies really 2257 01:43:32,440 --> 01:43:30,140 conditioned a whole generation and we're 2258 01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:32,450 seeing another wave of it right now like 2259 01:43:36,820 --> 01:43:34,970 with this movie hereditary that just 2260 01:43:38,620 --> 01:43:36,830 came out which I thought was well done 2261 01:43:40,510 --> 01:43:38,630 but is you know it just total it's like 2262 01:43:42,340 --> 01:43:40,520 a scared it's like a shock movie it's 2263 01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:42,350 like a scared one of these scared 2264 01:43:46,780 --> 01:43:45,290 straight movies they show kids to tell 2265 01:43:49,440 --> 01:43:46,790 them not to do drugs I mean like that's 2266 01:43:52,450 --> 01:43:49,450 kind of the deal with these movies and 2267 01:43:55,900 --> 01:43:52,460 alternative spirituality or movies like 2268 01:43:57,880 --> 01:43:55,910 I don't know paranormal activity or you 2269 01:43:59,500 --> 01:43:57,890 know recent movies like a dark song and 2270 01:44:01,810 --> 01:43:59,510 that there's been a bunch a big crop of 2271 01:44:03,130 --> 01:44:01,820 them recently and I don't think it's a 2272 01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:03,140 mistake I don't think it's random 2273 01:44:08,350 --> 01:44:05,930 because people are you know the young 2274 01:44:10,420 --> 01:44:08,360 people in particular are fascinated with 2275 01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:10,430 magic and it's like I said becoming the 2276 01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:12,650 fastest growing religious movement in 2277 01:44:18,010 --> 01:44:15,530 the country and that's quite threatening 2278 01:44:20,350 --> 01:44:18,020 to the religious authorities now the 2279 01:44:23,830 --> 01:44:20,360 converse of that is that you know for 2280 01:44:25,650 --> 01:44:23,840 instance practitioners of alternative 2281 01:44:28,510 --> 01:44:25,660 spirituality are always accused of 2282 01:44:30,070 --> 01:44:28,520 various fanciful things from Hollywood 2283 01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:30,080 but if you look at just the headlines 2284 01:44:34,750 --> 01:44:33,290 today it tends to be organized religion 2285 01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:34,760 that is responsible for this I mean I 2286 01:44:37,710 --> 01:44:36,290 don't need to repeat all the headlines 2287 01:44:40,410 --> 01:44:37,720 that have been coming out about the 2288 01:44:43,300 --> 01:44:40,420 Catholic Church and is organized 2289 01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:43,310 decades-long child sexual abuse you know 2290 01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:45,410 in the Catholic Church by and large is 2291 01:44:50,740 --> 01:44:47,770 the source of these great crimes and 2292 01:44:54,700 --> 01:44:50,750 there's a lot of shadow projection going 2293 01:44:56,440 --> 01:44:54,710 on and you know there's a shadow 2294 01:44:58,750 --> 01:44:56,450 projection is is something that people 2295 01:45:01,510 --> 01:44:58,760 do it's a psychological mechanism and 2296 01:45:05,650 --> 01:45:01,520 that's you know it's a terrible thing 2297 01:45:10,660 --> 01:45:05,660 and well let's let's stay on that for a 2298 01:45:13,480 --> 01:45:10,670 second so now we have that that word a 2299 01:45:16,570 --> 01:45:13,490 cult that has all of these connotations 2300 01:45:18,280 --> 01:45:16,580 I will agree with you when you go back 2301 01:45:21,150 --> 01:45:18,290 to what happened in the 70s with the 2302 01:45:22,740 --> 01:45:21,160 Exorcist and with Rosemary's Baby I mean 2303 01:45:26,460 --> 01:45:22,750 we have to be honest here that last ten 2304 01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:26,470 minutes of Rosemary's Baby the first you 2305 01:45:31,830 --> 01:45:29,650 know 3/4 of the film were a great set up 2306 01:45:33,690 --> 01:45:31,840 and then that last ten minutes was about 2307 01:45:36,450 --> 01:45:33,700 as scary and as frightening as it gets 2308 01:45:39,690 --> 01:45:36,460 and now we have the tie-in with the 2309 01:45:43,860 --> 01:45:39,700 occult and today the you can't shake it 2310 01:45:45,660 --> 01:45:43,870 it's like a decades-long tarnishing of 2311 01:45:51,420 --> 01:45:45,670 the word that it may not ever be 2312 01:45:53,010 --> 01:45:51,430 overcome will it well I know I think it 2313 01:45:55,110 --> 01:45:53,020 will be overcome because I think we have 2314 01:45:56,640 --> 01:45:55,120 a whole generation of kids who were I 2315 01:45:59,130 --> 01:45:56,650 mean yes there's that but we've also had 2316 01:46:02,910 --> 01:45:59,140 a whole generation of kids raised on 2317 01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:02,920 very positive media like Harry Potter or 2318 01:46:06,900 --> 01:46:04,570 you know again charmed and things like 2319 01:46:09,900 --> 01:46:06,910 this and I don't think they can put the 2320 01:46:12,630 --> 01:46:09,910 they can't put the the cat back in the 2321 01:46:14,790 --> 01:46:12,640 box as it were and we have the internet 2322 01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:14,800 now people have access to good media and 2323 01:46:19,260 --> 01:46:16,690 they can read these things for 2324 01:46:20,910 --> 01:46:19,270 themselves just in the sense that I mean 2325 01:46:24,270 --> 01:46:20,920 even if you look at I mean for instance 2326 01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:24,280 look at how marijuana was treated in the 2327 01:46:29,550 --> 01:46:27,250 1930s 40s and 50s and that crazy movie 2328 01:46:31,260 --> 01:46:29,560 reefer madness and all of that where 2329 01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:31,270 they they you know they had this movie 2330 01:46:37,620 --> 01:46:33,730 about oh yeah you know like people carry 2331 01:46:39,690 --> 01:46:37,630 around marijuana joints in in tomato 2332 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:39,700 cans and they'd smoke them and then they 2333 01:46:45,330 --> 01:46:41,650 turn into axe murderers and just this 2334 01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:45,340 total nonsense propaganda insanity and I 2335 01:46:52,800 --> 01:46:48,850 think that as as people become more 2336 01:46:56,030 --> 01:46:52,810 informed and they begin to realize the 2337 01:46:59,430 --> 01:46:56,040 real crux of it is realizing that 2338 01:47:02,270 --> 01:46:59,440 spirituality is something that we should 2339 01:47:05,450 --> 01:47:02,280 take responsibility for and as a 2340 01:47:08,190 --> 01:47:05,460 conversation and is something that you 2341 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:08,200 train I mean spirituality is not just 2342 01:47:11,250 --> 01:47:10,090 something you accept or a Dogma it's 2343 01:47:12,930 --> 01:47:11,260 something you have to train in like 2344 01:47:14,340 --> 01:47:12,940 going to the gym meditation you have to 2345 01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:14,350 do everyday you know you have to focus 2346 01:47:19,260 --> 01:47:16,330 on what you truly want in life everyday 2347 01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:19,270 and if you loo if you if you stop using 2348 01:47:22,770 --> 01:47:20,170 it you lose it 2349 01:47:25,950 --> 01:47:22,780 so as people begin to come to realize 2350 01:47:27,810 --> 01:47:25,960 that you know the spirituality is 2351 01:47:29,940 --> 01:47:27,820 something that humanity needs to get 2352 01:47:32,910 --> 01:47:29,950 good at just as much as it's gotten good 2353 01:47:34,930 --> 01:47:32,920 at technology and materialism then these 2354 01:47:36,880 --> 01:47:34,940 you know these superstition 2355 01:47:39,370 --> 01:47:36,890 we'll fade away and be shown to be just 2356 01:47:42,550 --> 01:47:39,380 that you know the superstition of scared 2357 01:47:47,950 --> 01:47:42,560 people and while speaking of Rosemary's 2358 01:47:52,689 --> 01:47:47,960 Baby which tended to suggest a coven or 2359 01:47:54,990 --> 01:47:52,699 group right that that's ultimately what 2360 01:47:59,050 --> 01:47:55,000 was there what's the difference between 2361 01:48:02,680 --> 01:47:59,060 like a solitary witch and and ones that 2362 01:48:07,570 --> 01:48:02,690 are part of a coven and are you part of 2363 01:48:12,220 --> 01:48:07,580 a coven no I only I never leave the 2364 01:48:15,610 --> 01:48:12,230 house unless it's to talk to you I'm an 2365 01:48:20,290 --> 01:48:15,620 exceedingly boring a normal person now I 2366 01:48:22,090 --> 01:48:20,300 I think that well let's see yeah well 2367 01:48:23,740 --> 01:48:22,100 sometimes you know some people are 2368 01:48:26,740 --> 01:48:23,750 social and some are I mean like some 2369 01:48:32,110 --> 01:48:26,750 people get into groups to explore things 2370 01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:32,120 like this and you know I mean what's a 2371 01:48:38,860 --> 01:48:34,010 coven you know in our modern world it's 2372 01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:38,870 you know five exceedingly attractive 23 2373 01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:40,250 year olds in Brooklyn you know like 2374 01:48:45,610 --> 01:48:43,489 that's life that's you know it's it's 2375 01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:45,620 it's like a group of friends I mean I 2376 01:48:52,180 --> 01:48:48,290 don't think it's all these all these 2377 01:48:53,979 --> 01:48:52,190 sinister things need to go in my opinion 2378 01:48:56,380 --> 01:48:53,989 and as somebody who's spent a lot of 2379 01:48:58,810 --> 01:48:56,390 time trying to modernize these 2380 01:49:01,060 --> 01:48:58,820 traditions it all needs to go and it 2381 01:49:03,459 --> 01:49:01,070 needs to go in the sense of people 2382 01:49:05,830 --> 01:49:03,469 putting these sinister images on magic 2383 01:49:07,420 --> 01:49:05,840 to scare people but it also needs to go 2384 01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:07,430 from the other side which is the Kitsch 2385 01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:09,290 factor I think that people who are into 2386 01:49:14,380 --> 01:49:11,570 these things very often adopt the 2387 01:49:16,810 --> 01:49:14,390 symbols of like you know Satanism or 2388 01:49:19,420 --> 01:49:16,820 Rosemary's Baby or you know Hammer 2389 01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:19,430 horror movies and they kind of like they 2390 01:49:24,189 --> 01:49:21,770 kind of own it they wear it but it's 2391 01:49:25,990 --> 01:49:24,199 just so kitschy that at a certain point 2392 01:49:28,360 --> 01:49:26,000 we just have to go okay 2393 01:49:30,220 --> 01:49:28,370 what is actually useful about these 2394 01:49:32,790 --> 01:49:30,230 things there's a real technology here 2395 01:49:35,860 --> 01:49:32,800 what are the things within this vast 2396 01:49:38,140 --> 01:49:35,870 field of magic or neo-paganism in 2397 01:49:40,390 --> 01:49:38,150 general that are actually useful eken 2398 01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:40,400 and can actually make our lives better 2399 01:49:45,550 --> 01:49:42,890 and let's just focus on that and drop 2400 01:49:47,380 --> 01:49:45,560 the BS that's my view on and I think all 2401 01:49:48,370 --> 01:49:47,390 of that stuff is window dressing and 2402 01:49:50,410 --> 01:49:48,380 play-acting 2403 01:49:53,410 --> 01:49:50,420 and you wouldn't catch me dead you know 2404 01:49:55,210 --> 01:49:53,420 dressing up in a robe or you know any of 2405 01:49:58,060 --> 01:49:55,220 that silliness you know my version of 2406 01:50:00,220 --> 01:49:58,070 magic is focusing on exactly what I want 2407 01:50:02,350 --> 01:50:00,230 in my life laying out a plan to get 2408 01:50:06,190 --> 01:50:02,360 there getting the best information that 2409 01:50:08,650 --> 01:50:06,200 I can to get there and then enacting my 2410 01:50:11,860 --> 01:50:08,660 will within the world which I don't need 2411 01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:11,870 you know silly play-acting implements to 2412 01:50:16,930 --> 01:50:14,210 do or you know this kind of Hammer 2413 01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:16,940 horror image of a cauldron and you know 2414 01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:18,530 for me it's like you know it's it's 2415 01:50:23,890 --> 01:50:21,650 directed will its making is changing 2416 01:50:26,170 --> 01:50:23,900 reality and conformity with will and to 2417 01:50:28,090 --> 01:50:26,180 do that I'll use whatever the best 2418 01:50:31,740 --> 01:50:28,100 Technic tools are it's not all this 2419 01:50:35,350 --> 01:50:31,750 silly stuff it's like you know Google 2420 01:50:37,330 --> 01:50:35,360 you know computers you know extremely 2421 01:50:39,310 --> 01:50:37,340 advanced information technology things 2422 01:50:43,110 --> 01:50:39,320 like this whatever the best tools I can 2423 01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:43,120 get to enact my will my will meaning 2424 01:50:48,190 --> 01:50:46,010 what I truly want to be doing with my 2425 01:50:50,530 --> 01:50:48,200 life you know it's like how do I live 2426 01:50:53,470 --> 01:50:50,540 the V life that I am meant to live 2427 01:50:55,420 --> 01:50:53,480 that's what it's about instead of going 2428 01:50:58,000 --> 01:50:55,430 back to sleep and being carried along by 2429 01:51:00,310 --> 01:50:58,010 the by the current of the world that 2430 01:51:02,290 --> 01:51:00,320 leads to nowhere which is what most 2431 01:51:05,980 --> 01:51:02,300 people do you know carried away by the 2432 01:51:08,290 --> 01:51:05,990 river of Netflix into Nowheresville it's 2433 01:51:09,730 --> 01:51:08,300 about finding your will and enacting it 2434 01:51:11,650 --> 01:51:09,740 in the world and that means living the 2435 01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:11,660 life that you're truly meant to live and 2436 01:51:17,380 --> 01:51:14,570 everything else is stage props and all 2437 01:51:18,970 --> 01:51:17,390 this spooky stuff is Hollywood well I'm 2438 01:51:21,280 --> 01:51:18,980 just gonna let the audience know I've 2439 01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:21,290 seen Jason's house and he bought the 2440 01:51:27,250 --> 01:51:24,290 Munsters house and that's where he lives 2441 01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:27,260 now and it's time for you to come clean 2442 01:51:34,060 --> 01:51:30,530 Jason it's okay it's okay 2443 01:51:36,510 --> 01:51:34,070 I actually am Herman Munster you are 2444 01:51:41,860 --> 01:51:36,520 Herman but were you're about that tall 2445 01:51:46,800 --> 01:51:41,870 years ago I'm gonna go back to the early 2446 01:51:49,060 --> 01:51:46,810 90s maybe around 1990 I went over to a 2447 01:51:51,550 --> 01:51:49,070 friend's house I was with another friend 2448 01:51:56,830 --> 01:51:51,560 and we went into this apartment and on 2449 01:52:01,959 --> 01:51:56,840 the floor in the carpet was a pentagram 2450 01:52:04,030 --> 01:52:01,969 I was probably 5 feet in diameter 2451 01:52:07,959 --> 01:52:04,040 and I'm look it's in the carpet and it's 2452 01:52:13,020 --> 01:52:07,969 made with melted black candle wax right 2453 01:52:18,250 --> 01:52:13,030 now I go in and I see this and I was 2454 01:52:19,930 --> 01:52:18,260 completely freaked out now when I saw it 2455 01:52:22,420 --> 01:52:19,940 I was affected 2456 01:52:26,500 --> 01:52:22,430 it was the it's you know it's like you 2457 01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:26,510 know any other sigil or any other symbol 2458 01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:28,610 that you see like this but I was 2459 01:52:35,250 --> 01:52:31,370 immediately affected by it and it was 2460 01:52:40,540 --> 01:52:35,260 powerful now the person that did this 2461 01:52:44,050 --> 01:52:40,550 obviously was practicing something and I 2462 01:52:45,670 --> 01:52:44,060 it it changed my view of this person 2463 01:52:49,330 --> 01:52:45,680 forever somebody that I'd known for a 2464 01:52:53,590 --> 01:52:49,340 long time why would somebody do that are 2465 01:52:55,090 --> 01:52:53,600 they practicing something that that this 2466 01:52:56,650 --> 01:52:55,100 is a necessity 2467 01:53:00,850 --> 01:52:56,660 do you understand where I'm going with 2468 01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:00,860 his work somebody has taken that kind of 2469 01:53:06,490 --> 01:53:05,210 drastic step in their own home it could 2470 01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:06,500 have just been some weird swingers thing 2471 01:53:16,870 --> 01:53:12,290 I don't know there's always that option 2472 01:53:20,229 --> 01:53:16,880 well played well played but broadly 2473 01:53:24,670 --> 01:53:20,239 speaking I mean I I don't know I look 2474 01:53:27,130 --> 01:53:24,680 there's so many magic is just a word 2475 01:53:29,170 --> 01:53:27,140 right and people bring their own level 2476 01:53:31,350 --> 01:53:29,180 of consciousness to it and and I tend to 2477 01:53:33,580 --> 01:53:31,360 use magic as a tool for expressing 2478 01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:33,590 universal truths to the world and 2479 01:53:38,380 --> 01:53:36,050 focusing on what's truly good in life 2480 01:53:41,340 --> 01:53:38,390 but that you know lots of people have a 2481 01:53:44,260 --> 01:53:41,350 have a different you know perhaps less 2482 01:53:47,260 --> 01:53:44,270 you know a less well constructed view of 2483 01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:47,270 it and yeah I mean you know people can 2484 01:53:56,100 --> 01:53:51,370 you know symbols can be symbols can be 2485 01:53:59,590 --> 01:53:56,110 focuses or foci for energies intention 2486 01:54:01,720 --> 01:53:59,600 magical intent and emotion just like 2487 01:54:04,090 --> 01:54:01,730 anything else can be and you know if 2488 01:54:06,970 --> 01:54:04,100 somebody you can make a symbol and you 2489 01:54:09,310 --> 01:54:06,980 can you know if somebody puts their own 2490 01:54:11,439 --> 01:54:09,320 negativity into it because they're a 2491 01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:11,449 negative person then yeah you're gonna 2492 01:54:15,169 --> 01:54:14,210 feel a negative vibe around it and it's 2493 01:54:17,899 --> 01:54:15,179 not going to be plus 2494 01:54:20,179 --> 01:54:17,909 but it's not really that's not something 2495 01:54:21,859 --> 01:54:20,189 that's inherent in magic itself it's 2496 01:54:23,839 --> 01:54:21,869 just that's how they've used the tool 2497 01:54:25,549 --> 01:54:23,849 you know it's like magic is just a tool 2498 01:54:28,129 --> 01:54:25,559 you can use it the right way or you can 2499 01:54:29,959 --> 01:54:28,139 use it the wrong way and there are many 2500 01:54:31,969 --> 01:54:29,969 people that use it the wrong way and 2501 01:54:34,759 --> 01:54:31,979 that by the way that tends not to be 2502 01:54:38,209 --> 01:54:34,769 some super sinister thing it just tends 2503 01:54:40,100 --> 01:54:38,219 to be kind of lame and I'm not 2504 01:54:42,049 --> 01:54:40,110 particularly productive and one of the 2505 01:54:43,549 --> 01:54:42,059 reasons why I teach magic is to show 2506 01:54:46,009 --> 01:54:43,559 people there actually is a right way to 2507 01:54:48,919 --> 01:54:46,019 do it it's will be bit more beneficial 2508 01:54:50,750 --> 01:54:48,929 for everyone in general and more 2509 01:54:52,459 --> 01:54:50,760 positive and more supportive of the good 2510 01:54:55,189 --> 01:54:52,469 things in life well I'll tell you what 2511 01:54:57,080 --> 01:54:55,199 the effect on me and we're gonna take a 2512 01:54:59,479 --> 01:54:57,090 break right here but after seeing that 2513 01:55:02,029 --> 01:54:59,489 I'm nice I'm a nice I'm nice to 2514 01:55:08,439 --> 01:55:02,039 everybody but to this particular person 2515 01:55:15,949 --> 01:55:12,379 I didn't want any negative vibes it was 2516 01:55:22,370 --> 01:55:15,959 just so funny how it affected me it 2517 01:55:25,189 --> 01:55:22,380 really really did I absolutely I respect 2518 01:55:27,859 --> 01:55:25,199 everybody but the respect went up a 2519 01:55:32,439 --> 01:55:27,869 level in that I did not want to offend I 2520 01:55:34,939 --> 01:55:32,449 did not I didn't want any evil spells 2521 01:55:38,660 --> 01:55:34,949 projected on me yeah but I'm serious it 2522 01:55:42,709 --> 01:55:38,670 really it really shook me it did it and 2523 01:55:44,870 --> 01:55:42,719 and the other part is that that I 2524 01:55:49,699 --> 01:55:44,880 thought about was that I wonder how many 2525 01:55:51,770 --> 01:55:49,709 people come into this apartment right 2526 01:55:55,459 --> 01:55:51,780 how many people are exposed to this and 2527 01:55:58,040 --> 01:55:55,469 and I am right now and why is this going 2528 01:56:00,879 --> 01:55:58,050 down right all of that I mean it's it's 2529 01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:00,889 psychological man it was it was powerful 2530 01:56:07,009 --> 01:56:04,130 Wow well you know becoming aware of 2531 01:56:09,799 --> 01:56:07,019 where your comfort level is is also a 2532 01:56:11,959 --> 01:56:09,809 big part of obviously not just magic but 2533 01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:11,969 spiritual growth in general and becoming 2534 01:56:17,089 --> 01:56:15,570 aware of subtle levels of things like 2535 01:56:18,649 --> 01:56:17,099 you're describing you know you felt that 2536 01:56:20,149 --> 01:56:18,659 it was not right for you that's that's 2537 01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:20,159 an important it's like an immune 2538 01:56:25,489 --> 01:56:22,130 response and as we become more 2539 01:56:27,979 --> 01:56:25,499 energetically and spiritually I don't 2540 01:56:28,970 --> 01:56:27,989 want to say advanced but practiced right 2541 01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:28,980 we get 2542 01:56:34,760 --> 01:56:32,610 better at you you know finding what is 2543 01:56:36,979 --> 01:56:34,770 right for us and what's not and that's 2544 01:56:38,810 --> 01:56:36,989 also a part of magic is understanding 2545 01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:38,820 what's what's not what's healthy and 2546 01:56:43,460 --> 01:56:41,850 what's not and how to steer away and of 2547 01:56:45,140 --> 01:56:43,470 course when you're steering away from 2548 01:56:46,820 --> 01:56:45,150 something like that it's not just that 2549 01:56:50,210 --> 01:56:46,830 you're steering away from it you're 2550 01:56:51,830 --> 01:56:50,220 steering towards what is more correct 2551 01:56:55,670 --> 01:56:51,840 for you so it's a learning experience 2552 01:56:57,740 --> 01:56:55,680 where you're you're you're learning what 2553 01:56:59,570 --> 01:56:57,750 what feels right for

2713 02:04:48,080 --> 02:04:46,710 the power of positive thinking right 2714 02:04:50,140 --> 02:04:48,090 there 2715 02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:50,150 what kind of magic 2716 02:04:57,729 --> 02:04:55,250 do you practice well I've I've tried to 2717 02:04:59,770 --> 02:04:57,739 practice every single type of magic that 2718 02:05:04,660 --> 02:04:59,780 I could I've been through so many 2719 02:05:07,419 --> 02:05:04,670 systems from Hermeticism to koala to to 2720 02:05:10,540 --> 02:05:07,429 Hindu Tantra to Buddhist Tantra to Sufi 2721 02:05:14,140 --> 02:05:10,550 ISM to even you know things like neuro 2722 02:05:18,070 --> 02:05:14,150 linguistic programming or vu d'en or you 2723 02:05:21,850 --> 02:05:18,080 know I've been all over the map and what 2724 02:05:26,080 --> 02:05:21,860 I've really come to is I think the core 2725 02:05:28,570 --> 02:05:26,090 is meditation and single-pointed focus 2726 02:05:30,490 --> 02:05:28,580 that's really the core of it but broadly 2727 02:05:33,189 --> 02:05:30,500 speaking I would say you know Western 2728 02:05:35,200 --> 02:05:33,199 Western magic I've spent a lot of time 2729 02:05:40,290 --> 02:05:35,210 doing Enochian of course that led into 2730 02:05:43,479 --> 02:05:40,300 the John Dee book but my you know as we 2731 02:05:46,740 --> 02:05:43,489 as I think I was hinting at earlier as 2732 02:05:50,470 --> 02:05:46,750 you get more practiced with magic you 2733 02:05:52,810 --> 02:05:50,480 get the you kind of lock into the vibe 2734 02:05:56,260 --> 02:05:52,820 and you lock into what the process 2735 02:05:58,180 --> 02:05:56,270 actually what you're actually doing you 2736 02:06:02,950 --> 02:05:58,190 know how your mind is actually changing 2737 02:06:05,140 --> 02:06:02,960 what the core of ritual is the the you 2738 02:06:07,149 --> 02:06:05,150 know that it's a focusing mechanism and 2739 02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:07,159 things like this and when you really get 2740 02:06:11,950 --> 02:06:09,290 it it's kind of like the form stop 2741 02:06:14,320 --> 02:06:11,960 mattering I would you know I would 2742 02:06:15,939 --> 02:06:14,330 certainly you know it's kind of like 2743 02:06:17,649 --> 02:06:15,949 when people get very very good at 2744 02:06:20,680 --> 02:06:17,659 martial arts and they train in a lot of 2745 02:06:22,839 --> 02:06:20,690 different martial arts it's it's no 2746 02:06:23,859 --> 02:06:22,849 longer necessarily recognized what 2747 02:06:25,839 --> 02:06:23,869 they're doing is not necessarily 2748 02:06:27,220 --> 02:06:25,849 recognizable as one school or the other 2749 02:06:29,439 --> 02:06:27,230 there was like a little bit here a 2750 02:06:32,649 --> 02:06:29,449 little bit there but it just seems kind 2751 02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:32,659 of effortless I'm not you know trying to 2752 02:06:38,140 --> 02:06:35,330 make myself sound super cool I'm just 2753 02:06:40,899 --> 02:06:38,150 saying this is kind of like where magic 2754 02:06:43,450 --> 02:06:40,909 gets to after a long process you know 2755 02:06:46,930 --> 02:06:43,460 long experience it's it's not you know 2756 02:06:51,970 --> 02:06:46,940 the props become less important the all 2757 02:06:54,370 --> 02:06:51,980 of the theory and the academic my new 2758 02:06:56,379 --> 02:06:54,380 show become less important and it 2759 02:07:00,250 --> 02:06:56,389 becomes more about how you live your 2760 02:07:01,419 --> 02:07:00,260 life that said I don't want to totally 2761 02:07:03,310 --> 02:07:01,429 take it away from the technical 2762 02:07:03,620 --> 02:07:03,320 processes of magic because on the other 2763 02:07:05,390 --> 02:07:03,630 hand 2764 02:07:06,979 --> 02:07:05,400 we had people who just say oh well my 2765 02:07:08,510 --> 02:07:06,989 life is magical and I just live in 2766 02:07:11,209 --> 02:07:08,520 magical life it's not like that either 2767 02:07:13,430 --> 02:07:11,219 it actually is a practice that has to be 2768 02:07:15,439 --> 02:07:13,440 done and that you can do right or wrong 2769 02:07:16,790 --> 02:07:15,449 there is a right answer with these 2770 02:07:19,180 --> 02:07:16,800 things and it is something that requires 2771 02:07:24,379 --> 02:07:19,190 practice just like going to the gym does 2772 02:07:26,510 --> 02:07:24,389 but so so for me I'll just underline 2773 02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:26,520 that the most important things for me 2774 02:07:32,919 --> 02:07:29,850 are keeping my mind empty and not 2775 02:07:35,810 --> 02:07:32,929 letting myself get caught up in the 2776 02:07:40,189 --> 02:07:35,820 chaos of of the mind or getting pulled 2777 02:07:43,399 --> 02:07:40,199 around by other people's will and so 2778 02:07:45,260 --> 02:07:43,409 meditation keeping the mind empty total 2779 02:07:48,770 --> 02:07:45,270 focus on whatever it is that I happen to 2780 02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:48,780 be doing and then expressing my will 2781 02:07:53,870 --> 02:07:51,170 into the world which I'm currently doing 2782 02:07:56,870 --> 02:07:53,880 obviously with my podcast in my books 2783 02:07:58,990 --> 02:07:56,880 and my web presence and the company that 2784 02:08:02,600 --> 02:07:59,000 I run that does all these things and 2785 02:08:05,899 --> 02:08:02,610 manifesting as much as I can of myself 2786 02:08:09,350 --> 02:08:05,909 in a way that I hope is helpful and and 2787 02:08:12,729 --> 02:08:09,360 of manifesting my self in a way that I 2788 02:08:16,430 --> 02:08:12,739 hope brings other people up a level and 2789 02:08:19,310 --> 02:08:16,440 and brings them also along the path of 2790 02:08:22,160 --> 02:08:19,320 magic or spirituality it doesn't have to 2791 02:08:24,050 --> 02:08:22,170 be magic but that's kind of been a major 2792 02:08:26,930 --> 02:08:24,060 thing that I've done in my magical 2793 02:08:30,020 --> 02:08:26,940 career is try to open this to everyone 2794 02:08:34,220 --> 02:08:30,030 and not just myself did you go through 2795 02:08:37,550 --> 02:08:34,230 and explore some of the traditional 2796 02:08:42,939 --> 02:08:37,560 views of magic you know the spells the 2797 02:08:46,010 --> 02:08:42,949 powders the you know the black candles 2798 02:08:47,899 --> 02:08:46,020 the psychic I bookshop you know that 2799 02:08:49,669 --> 02:08:47,909 kind of thing oh yeah did you go through 2800 02:08:51,620 --> 02:08:49,679 that done all of it write down all of it 2801 02:08:54,080 --> 02:08:51,630 Jimmy I've been through all of it you 2802 02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:54,090 know by the book you know so so what I'm 2803 02:08:58,580 --> 02:08:56,010 what I'm talking about is this kind of 2804 02:09:01,490 --> 02:08:58,590 you know I won't say effortless but this 2805 02:09:03,979 --> 02:09:01,500 kind of you know this kind of empty 2806 02:09:05,899 --> 02:09:03,989 handed understanding is not just 2807 02:09:07,610 --> 02:09:05,909 something that that's just how I do it 2808 02:09:10,370 --> 02:09:07,620 it's like that's what I've gotten to 2809 02:09:12,800 --> 02:09:10,380 from going through these things very 2810 02:09:15,830 --> 02:09:12,810 very rigorously and going into every 2811 02:09:18,290 --> 02:09:15,840 single nook and cranny of these things 2812 02:09:21,410 --> 02:09:18,300 and what what did you learn from that as 2813 02:09:24,200 --> 02:09:21,420 you you know you it's obviously a 2814 02:09:26,839 --> 02:09:24,210 transition right you're you're you're 2815 02:09:29,240 --> 02:09:26,849 going through and evolving what did you 2816 02:09:33,169 --> 02:09:29,250 learn from going through all of those 2817 02:09:35,060 --> 02:09:33,179 traditional views of magic so much so 2818 02:09:37,100 --> 02:09:35,070 much I mean every single tradition has a 2819 02:09:39,350 --> 02:09:37,110 major message to offer and then it's got 2820 02:09:41,600 --> 02:09:39,360 a lot of stuff there's so I mean it's a 2821 02:09:43,189 --> 02:09:41,610 whole universe it's kind of impossible 2822 02:09:45,520 --> 02:09:43,199 to answer that question because it's 2823 02:09:48,350 --> 02:09:45,530 been my whole life but if I would 2824 02:09:49,879 --> 02:09:48,360 summarize some of it outside of what I 2825 02:09:56,180 --> 02:09:49,889 already said in terms of kind of what 2826 02:09:57,649 --> 02:09:56,190 I've come to its understanding hmm this 2827 02:10:00,439 --> 02:09:57,659 is an interesting question it's 2828 02:10:02,689 --> 02:10:00,449 understanding what is health what what 2829 02:10:06,229 --> 02:10:02,699 fosters human evolution and what does 2830 02:10:11,359 --> 02:10:06,239 not and understanding how important and 2831 02:10:13,490 --> 02:10:11,369 powerful the mind is and ultimately that 2832 02:10:17,419 --> 02:10:13,500 it is ours to direct and harness in the 2833 02:10:20,359 --> 02:10:17,429 way that we choose and that we but at a 2834 02:10:24,560 --> 02:10:20,369 certain point we can't just use these 2835 02:10:28,189 --> 02:10:24,570 things to gratify our own desires that 2836 02:10:30,919 --> 02:10:28,199 real magic you know capital M magic is 2837 02:10:32,689 --> 02:10:30,929 about doing whatever you can to assist 2838 02:10:35,680 --> 02:10:32,699 the evolution of humanity as a whole 2839 02:10:38,780 --> 02:10:35,690 that's the key to the whole thing and 2840 02:10:42,140 --> 02:10:38,790 being in a role of service and that's 2841 02:10:45,830 --> 02:10:42,150 what I tried to do and that's the point 2842 02:10:47,419 --> 02:10:45,840 is moving humanity along because frankly 2843 02:10:50,419 --> 02:10:47,429 speaking we probably don't have a whole 2844 02:10:53,209 --> 02:10:50,429 lot of time left so there's not a whole 2845 02:10:57,649 --> 02:10:53,219 lot of time to kind of put on airs and 2846 02:11:00,260 --> 02:10:57,659 and you know mess around you know it's 2847 02:11:01,700 --> 02:11:00,270 we have some serious crises ahead of us 2848 02:11:04,129 --> 02:11:01,710 in the 21st century and we need 2849 02:11:08,050 --> 02:11:04,139 conscious people in order to fully face 2850 02:11:11,149 --> 02:11:08,060 them and when it comes to things like 2851 02:11:13,459 --> 02:11:11,159 white magic and black magic these are 2852 02:11:17,689 --> 02:11:13,469 terms that we've heard over and over 2853 02:11:21,080 --> 02:11:17,699 again is that real or are those just 2854 02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:21,090 words and classifications I'll give you 2855 02:11:24,979 --> 02:11:22,530 my definition of it I've actually got a 2856 02:11:27,649 --> 02:11:24,989 whole podcast on this it's my probably 2857 02:11:29,150 --> 02:11:27,659 my most loved podcast ever on my on my 2858 02:11:31,910 --> 02:11:29,160 show which is called white match 2859 02:11:34,370 --> 02:11:31,920 versus black magic my my broadly 2860 02:11:38,570 --> 02:11:34,380 speaking my definition is that white a 2861 02:11:42,170 --> 02:11:38,580 black magic is when you use magic to try 2862 02:11:44,660 --> 02:11:42,180 to get your way and fulfill your selfish 2863 02:11:47,210 --> 02:11:44,670 desires and white magic is when you get 2864 02:11:48,950 --> 02:11:47,220 out of your own way and humble yourself 2865 02:11:52,880 --> 02:11:48,960 enough to accept what the universe is 2866 02:11:55,370 --> 02:11:52,890 trying to give you already and expand on 2867 02:11:57,590 --> 02:11:55,380 that a little bit that that's that's 2868 02:12:03,950 --> 02:11:57,600 that's pretty cool so let's expand on 2869 02:12:09,290 --> 02:12:03,960 that so why why has society a black 2870 02:12:11,630 --> 02:12:09,300 magic being evil right well for to to 2871 02:12:17,350 --> 02:12:11,640 use it for yourself is that necessarily 2872 02:12:19,940 --> 02:12:17,360 evil or no no no no it's it's more about 2873 02:12:23,210 --> 02:12:19,950 what the real crux of that is is how you 2874 02:12:26,360 --> 02:12:23,220 define yourself because your true self 2875 02:12:28,070 --> 02:12:26,370 is far beyond the limited story that you 2876 02:12:30,290 --> 02:12:28,080 tell yourself without who you think you 2877 02:12:32,720 --> 02:12:30,300 are and this is where the wisdom comes 2878 02:12:34,730 --> 02:12:32,730 in and the enlightenment you have to you 2879 02:12:37,130 --> 02:12:34,740 know your true self Capital self L 2880 02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:37,140 capital S self 2881 02:12:44,150 --> 02:12:41,370 I almost said elf is beyond the mind it 2882 02:12:47,120 --> 02:12:44,160 exists it's post-linguistic it exists 2883 02:12:50,030 --> 02:12:47,130 beyond your limited story about who you 2884 02:12:51,650 --> 02:12:50,040 are everyone lives in a cage right most 2885 02:12:54,140 --> 02:12:51,660 human beings live in a prison 2886 02:12:56,210 --> 02:12:54,150 constructed of language constructed of 2887 02:12:58,790 --> 02:12:56,220 stories told to them by other people or 2888 02:13:01,160 --> 02:12:58,800 by themselves or by the media or by the 2889 02:13:02,630 --> 02:13:01,170 internet usually the story starts with 2890 02:13:05,120 --> 02:13:02,640 their parents and then their teachers 2891 02:13:07,340 --> 02:13:05,130 and their peers and they they're sold an 2892 02:13:10,850 --> 02:13:07,350 identity of who they are but it's just a 2893 02:13:13,490 --> 02:13:10,860 story the true human self is beyond all 2894 02:13:16,280 --> 02:13:13,500 of that and if you're not acting from 2895 02:13:18,950 --> 02:13:16,290 that then what you're really doing by 2896 02:13:21,380 --> 02:13:18,960 doing magic is reinforcing the desires 2897 02:13:24,230 --> 02:13:21,390 of a personality that was false to begin 2898 02:13:27,700 --> 02:13:24,240 with I don't and I know we could talk 2899 02:13:30,080 --> 02:13:27,710 about the philosophy of this forever but 2900 02:13:31,850 --> 02:13:30,090 really the you know when we start to 2901 02:13:32,180 --> 02:13:31,860 talk about enlightenment and things like 2902 02:13:36,040 --> 02:13:32,190 that 2903 02:13:38,930 --> 02:13:36,050 it's about completely overcoming the 2904 02:13:40,910 --> 02:13:38,940 story of who you think you are because 2905 02:13:42,400 --> 02:13:40,920 it's just a fiction we're all fictional 2906 02:13:44,830 --> 02:13:42,410 beings and 2907 02:13:47,850 --> 02:13:44,840 the fictions are conspiracies created 2908 02:13:50,080 --> 02:13:47,860 not by sinister governments but 2909 02:13:52,900 --> 02:13:50,090 conspirators conspires to create a 2910 02:13:55,630 --> 02:13:52,910 fiction including us conspires to create 2911 02:13:58,240 --> 02:13:55,640 this fictional being called jasonlew or 2912 02:14:01,800 --> 02:13:58,250 jimmy church you know and ultimately our 2913 02:14:05,520 --> 02:14:01,810 true nature is infinite divine and 2914 02:14:08,380 --> 02:14:05,530 untouched and is and unchanging and 2915 02:14:10,900 --> 02:14:08,390 temporarily manifests as a temporary 2916 02:14:15,070 --> 02:14:10,910 personality to experience human life 2917 02:14:18,660 --> 02:14:15,080 this is a you know and at the dontoh 2918 02:14:21,490 --> 02:14:18,670 core a yogic way of looking at it and so 2919 02:14:24,220 --> 02:14:21,500 when we really you know the whole idea 2920 02:14:26,950 --> 02:14:24,230 of black magic is largely a creation of 2921 02:14:29,140 --> 02:14:26,960 Hollywood it you know there are 2922 02:14:30,700 --> 02:14:29,150 certainly people who believe that there 2923 02:14:32,410 --> 02:14:30,710 are black magicians but by and large 2924 02:14:34,300 --> 02:14:32,420 there are Dungeons and Dragons birds who 2925 02:14:36,610 --> 02:14:34,310 have just got off on a tangent of taking 2926 02:14:40,480 --> 02:14:36,620 themselves way too seriously the real 2927 02:14:45,010 --> 02:14:40,490 black magic is when we waste our lives 2928 02:14:48,310 --> 02:14:45,020 by pursuing desires that are beneath us 2929 02:14:50,680 --> 02:14:48,320 when we waste our lives by putting all 2930 02:14:54,850 --> 02:14:50,690 of our energy into the lowest parts of 2931 02:14:56,860 --> 02:14:54,860 our personality or just doing things 2932 02:14:59,350 --> 02:14:56,870 that are pleasurable in the moment but 2933 02:15:03,550 --> 02:14:59,360 are not truly living up to the person 2934 02:15:05,950 --> 02:15:03,560 that we truly could be if we really try 2935 02:15:07,690 --> 02:15:05,960 it or we truly lived up to it and that's 2936 02:15:09,640 --> 02:15:07,700 what white magic is why magic is about 2937 02:15:12,460 --> 02:15:09,650 evolution it's about and it's certainly 2938 02:15:14,740 --> 02:15:12,470 not easy it's about trying to become the 2939 02:15:17,590 --> 02:15:14,750 best person you possibly can and the 2940 02:15:19,090 --> 02:15:17,600 most help hopefully to the world well 2941 02:15:21,640 --> 02:15:19,100 wouldn't that be enlightened 2942 02:15:24,630 --> 02:15:21,650 self-interest which would be a form of 2943

2988 02:17:22,129 --> 02:17:20,340 what's so funny when you said that you I 2989 02:17:24,980 --> 02:17:22,139 don't know if you were joking but when 2990 02:17:27,800 --> 02:17:24,990 you were a kid you did you would dress 2991 02:17:31,370 --> 02:17:27,810 up as a vampire you would meet you would 2992 02:17:34,790 --> 02:17:31,380 be the the perfect vampire that's oh 2993 02:17:37,510 --> 02:17:34,800 that's true I've been watching I became 2994 02:17:39,110 --> 02:17:37,520 convinced I think I'd had a few drinks a 2995 02:17:41,390 --> 02:17:39,120 couple weeks ago I was completely 2996 02:17:44,120 --> 02:17:41,400 convinced I was a vampire it was a very 2997 02:17:46,280 --> 02:17:44,130 very strange state of mind and I've been 2998 02:17:48,560 --> 02:17:46,290 watching vampire movies all all all 2999 02:17:51,020 --> 02:17:48,570 month because it is how it is it is 3000 02:17:53,930 --> 02:17:51,030 October so that's a good idea there you 3001 02:17:56,390 --> 02:17:53,940 know one last question on this vein 3002 02:17:59,990 --> 02:17:56,400 there is when you mentioned like 3003 02:18:03,860 --> 02:18:00,000 paranormal activity and but there is a 3004 02:18:06,350 --> 02:18:03,870 genuine fascination with vampirism on 3005 02:18:07,209 --> 02:18:06,360 this planet it doesn't matter if you're 3006 02:18:11,080 --> 02:18:07,219 from the Caribbean 3007 02:18:17,110 --> 02:18:11,090 or if you're from Northern Europe there 3008 02:18:20,429 --> 02:18:17,120 is North America of vampirism and there 3009 02:18:23,759 --> 02:18:20,439 is parts of it that are rooted in 3010 02:18:29,040 --> 02:18:23,769 historical fact what is the fascination 3011 02:18:36,879 --> 02:18:33,580 practicing magic or or Christian or not 3012 02:18:39,250 --> 02:18:36,889 or a theater is this thing when it comes 3013 02:18:42,509 --> 02:18:39,260 to vampires and I don't know if it as 3014 02:18:44,919 --> 02:18:42,519 certainly we have Dracula but you know 3015 02:18:47,769 --> 02:18:44,929 interview with the vampire and the Anne 3016 02:18:50,080 --> 02:18:47,779 Rice novels all the way through True 3017 02:18:52,870 --> 02:18:50,090 Blood all the way to there are many 3018 02:18:55,959 --> 02:18:52,880 television series you know based on this 3019 02:18:59,349 --> 02:18:55,969 what is our our popular cultures 3020 02:19:01,599 --> 02:18:59,359 fascination with this well it's 3021 02:19:03,879 --> 02:19:01,609 fascinating because the the whole story 3022 02:19:06,190 --> 02:19:03,889 of the vampire has been with us for like 3023 02:19:07,900 --> 02:19:06,200 you like you mentioned a long time I 3024 02:19:12,339 --> 02:19:07,910 mean people were talking about vampires 3025 02:19:14,919 --> 02:19:12,349 in in Rome it's it's it's been around a 3026 02:19:16,990 --> 02:19:14,929 long time and there's you know there's 3027 02:19:18,639 --> 02:19:17,000 archaeological evidence I think even in 3028 02:19:20,349 --> 02:19:18,649 Eastern Europe of people you know 3029 02:19:21,309 --> 02:19:20,359 digging up corpses and staking them 3030 02:19:23,979 --> 02:19:21,319 because they thought they were gonna 3031 02:19:26,320 --> 02:19:23,989 raise from the dead obviously this is 3032 02:19:28,299 --> 02:19:26,330 more likely a product of superstition 3033 02:19:31,900 --> 02:19:28,309 and lack of medical information and and 3034 02:19:34,269 --> 02:19:31,910 mass hysteria than anything else but I 3035 02:19:40,450 --> 02:19:34,279 thought about this a lot and I think 3036 02:19:43,660 --> 02:19:40,460 that you know vampires fascinate us 3037 02:19:47,229 --> 02:19:43,670 because there are lots of people who are 3038 02:19:50,260 --> 02:19:47,239 vampires in the sense of they're 3039 02:19:52,059 --> 02:19:50,270 predatory and you know I think that 3040 02:19:53,070 --> 02:19:52,069 humanity if you really take a broad view 3041 02:19:57,519 --> 02:19:53,080 on it 3042 02:19:59,410 --> 02:19:57,529 there are predator humans there are you 3043 02:20:01,870 --> 02:19:59,420 know some humans are you know very nice 3044 02:20:04,269 --> 02:20:01,880 and docile and social and then there are 3045 02:20:08,440 --> 02:20:04,279 definitely some people who are 3046 02:20:10,990 --> 02:20:08,450 absolutely predatory in Outlook and we 3047 02:20:13,570 --> 02:20:11,000 might call that you know sociopathy or 3048 02:20:15,040 --> 02:20:13,580 or psychopathy or something like that 3049 02:20:17,170 --> 02:20:15,050 but I think it's a little bit deeper 3050 02:20:19,030 --> 02:20:17,180 than that there are definitely some 3051 02:20:19,950 --> 02:20:19,040 people who see it as their role in life 3052 02:20:21,270 --> 02:20:19,960 to to 3053 02:20:24,030 --> 02:20:21,280 other people and I don't mean that 3054 02:20:27,120 --> 02:20:24,040 literally but I mean that in the sense 3055 02:20:28,410 --> 02:20:27,130 of they're hunters and you could might 3056 02:20:30,450 --> 02:20:28,420 meet these people in a corporate 3057 02:20:33,980 --> 02:20:30,460 environment you know like on Wall Street 3058 02:20:38,160 --> 02:20:33,990 or just I don't know like a you know a 3059 02:20:40,710 --> 02:20:38,170 terrible boss or you know in many cases 3060 02:20:43,380 --> 02:20:40,720 people get into relationships with or 3061 02:20:44,910 --> 02:20:43,390 marry people who are like this and I'm 3062 02:20:46,860 --> 02:20:44,920 sure lots of people can think of 3063 02:20:48,719 --> 02:20:46,870 instances in their own life where 3064 02:20:51,210 --> 02:20:48,729 they've come across that I mean there 3065 02:20:53,730 --> 02:20:51,220 are people who are absolutely vampires 3066 02:20:55,890 --> 02:20:53,740 in the sense that they draw their energy 3067 02:20:57,330 --> 02:20:55,900 from other human beings you know we all 3068 02:21:02,660 --> 02:20:57,340 have a choice of where we draw energy 3069 02:21:05,580 --> 02:21:02,670 from many of us draw energy from love 3070 02:21:08,400 --> 02:21:05,590 our work our sense of value from our 3071 02:21:10,380 --> 02:21:08,410 work from nature from hobbies that we 3072 02:21:13,440 --> 02:21:10,390 enjoy but there are absolutely some 3073 02:21:14,630 --> 02:21:13,450 people that draw energy from preying on 3074 02:21:17,280 --> 02:21:14,640 other people and I mean that 3075 02:21:19,020 --> 02:21:17,290 psychologically right and with their 3076 02:21:21,330 --> 02:21:19,030 behavior not like they're drinking their 3077 02:21:23,300 --> 02:21:21,340 blood but you know we've all met people 3078 02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:23,310
