JMG on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio

For some reason my about-to-be-released book The King in Orange: The Magical and Occult Roots of Political Power is getting more than the usual amount of interest from the podcasting community.  (Partly the publisher, Inner Traditions, is doing a very good job of scaring up prospects, but I think it's more than that.) Here's the latest, a two hour interview with Miguel at Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio; the first half is free, the second is for subscribers. We had a good lively talk; Miguel's summary is spot on: 

"This birds-eye view of archetypal/magical influences taps into the ideas of Robert Chambers, CG Jung, Ioan Culiano, Giordano Bruno, Oswald Spengler, and other magicians of the mind. The empire is collapsing, you see, and it’s a choice of becoming sacrificial victims or connecting with overlooked divinities and the land itself."

He's likely to be assigned that book anyway in a dozen or fifteen years as part of his school curriculum (we're a homeschool family through and through) as part of a unit devoted to understanding what eldritch ingredients were flung into the bizarre cauldron that's boiling into the world he's fated to grow up in...
