Supernatural Spaces 1: Creation Mysteries | How Spirit Shaped the Cosmos | Center of the World

08/23/23 • 59 min

Part 1 of our exploration of Earth’s supernatural mysteries. The ancients believed that certain places in the world held great spiritual power and sought to live near and utilize them. What was it about these sites that had, and continue to have, such a profound effect on humanity?
In this episode we explore the concept of sacred space as defined by historian Mircea Eliade, articulating what its revelation specifically achieved for human beings. We will look at certain geographical features that had unique magical effects. We will also recount several cosmogenic myths regarding the earth that show us how the ancients believed this planet was a living being and extremely important in the spiritual destiny of all life.
Lastly, we will cover the concept of the axis mundi, how it served the vital function of linking the supernatural worlds with our world, and how ancient cultures shaped whole societies around it.

Atlantis, The Lost Continent Part 2: Seeders of Civilization

Send us a text

In the conclusion to our study of Atlantis, we dive into myths regarding "culture heroes", such as Quetzalcoatl and Oannes, mysterious divine beings who came from distant lands bearing gifts of knowledge which jumpstarted the great civilizations of the ancient world (Mesoamerca, Greece, Egypt, etc.) We also look at stories of giants, gods, and fallen angels, attempting to (ham-handedly) tie all of these things to Atlantis.
Was there an ancient lost "mother" culture that seeded later ones, tying many disparate races and cultures back to one source? If so, who, or what, was responsible for this? We look briefly at some of the possible evidence left behind in mysterious architecture and “human” remains.
Lastly, we will explore some of the occult symbolism thought to have been hidden within the Atlantis story by initiates of the mystery traditions, shedding light on the spiritual mysteries of antiquity.

In this episode we investigate on a deeper level the facets of sacred space, beginning with how these special locations were identified in the landscape through ecstatic experience and divination, to how they were used by magical practitioners, and the spirits and other beings which inhabited them, as well as their function as portals to other realms. We hear several stories, from an old folk tales regarding the sacred raths of the fairies, to an ethnographic account of shamans using power centers to control the weather, to an encounter with an ancestral spirit in a sacred cave, in an effort to understand the supernatural agency and power of the land.
