JMG on Everything Imaginable Podcast

[ecosophia]

Yes, it's me on another podcast.  (And for a change, it's not about The King in Orange.) Join me and host Gary Cocciolillo for an hour and a half of lively conversation about Druidry, geomancy, the history of occultism, the UFO phenomenon, and -- well, "Everything Imaginable" is a good name for the show. We had a great time. If you're interested, tune in here.

Really enjoying this podcast. I do believe I’m now going to start using the phrase “When you stop learning, you start turning to wood from the head down” now.

By all means do so!

My favorite moment was when you two shared a good hearty laugh towards the end

Lon Milo DuQuette wrote "I could listen to John Michael Greer talk all day and all night." in his foreword to The Art and Practice of Geomancy and I completely agree.
I made some notes to help people for whom English is a second or a third language (like myself) and I believe it's a nice list of books.

I love that Frank Zappa made the list. It is for good reason but it is always odd to think of a rocker (if you could even define him as that) as standing in the same company.

The ideas are spreading...

Mr Greer,

Just in case you missed it, have a look at this UNHerd article. Speculative fiction that does rather remind me of someone....

(Ignore the lurid and misleading headline) The impact of your work is growing.

Best wishes
