JMG on Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio

[ecosophia]

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."

The King has arrived

The King arrived at my place yesterday. He'll have to wait until tomorrow when Dr. Traverer is finished.

I'm very eager to receive my copy in a few days. I'm glad to hear that it is catching a lot of extra attention out there. The last several years have been a wild and unexpected ride. I think the conventional explanations offered for things like Trump and the considerable shift in the political landscape are pathetically inadequate. I think that many people now see the writing on the wall and realize that the empire is, indeed, collapsing. It is obvious that much has been hidden from view, and I think that occult explanations are a natural place to seek out better explanations of what has happened and what we might expect down the road.

Tidlösa here. I´m not sure if you know who "angelranger" is, but she sometimes comments on my blog, and has recently started to read your blogs, and says she likes your ideas more and more. She told me to give you her best regards, so that´s what I´m doing now!

I haven't been this excited to read a book in quite awhile. Thank you for your work!

I watched the free portion the other day -- very nice!

Also, something I've made note of; any public thinker or intellectual I consider worth paying attention to right now has appeared at least once on Miguel's Aeon Byte podcast, which I've been following for years now. Miguel is one of those people who has the rare gift of being able to gab amiably with people of a whole assortment of different perspectives and attitudes.

Authorial tenants

Is that a violation of the core authorial tenant: "All my success is my own, all my failings are my publisher's"? LOL

The King in Orange

[(Anonymous)]

I got my book (King in Orange) a few days ago, and have been reading a little each night. I am enjoying it immensely. I don't follow magic or occult matters in general, so it was quite surprising to hear how much of that there was around the election of 2016, and also to better understand what qualifies as "magic". Well written book that I look forward to each night, and will probably read again soon after I finish it! I'm sure I'll have lots of questions too, but that's for your other blog.
Thanks so much for this book!!

My copy of The King in Orange arrived in my mailbox yesterday morning; this morning was spent reading a couple chapters of it allowed to my sleepy two-month old. He seemed to enjoy it as much as I did!
