Rendering Unconscious Podcast: Psychoanalysis, Art, Occulture, Politics

Rendering Unconscious episode 235. Steve Dee is a Systemic Psychotherapist working in the NHS within the field of mental health social work. He is the author of A Gnostic’s Progress: Magic and the Path of Awakening and The Heretic’s Journey: Spiritual Freethinking for Difficult Times. He is also the co-author (with Julian Vayne) of the book Chaos Craft. After a near miss with the Anglican Priesthood, he focused his energies on more occult pursuits that have included work within the east/west tantra group AMOOKOS and the Chaos Magic current. His current interest in Gnosticism represents an attempt to explore the way in which joys of heretical freethinking can be harnessed for the benefit of all. He is here to talk about his newest book Chaos Monk.
