JMG on Hermitix Podcast: Cabala Edition

[ecosophia]

Yes, I'm back on the Hermitix Podcast with host James Ellis.  The subject? The Cabala/Qabalah/Kabbalah. (The Semitic languages have sounds that don't transliterate well into Indo-European languages, which is why this word has so many spellings, and also why no two media outlets in Europe or American spelled the last name of Muammar Khaddafi the same way.) As always with Hermitix, it was a good lively conversation that covered a lot of ground. Interested? Check it out here on Podcasters and here on YouTube.

I look forward to listening to this later today. I'm glad you do conversations with this fellow. It led me to listen to his conversations with other thinkers as well. I've found many to be quite interesting. His discussion with James Maffie (on January 10, 2024) has led me to diving deep into Aztec philosophy (might have something to do with one of my past lives). It has been eye opening for me, and in a very good way.

You might enjoy this article, for which Maffie is one of the main sources, or at least find the bibliography at the end helpful: https://www.stoneageherbalist.com/p/the-metaphysics-of-aztec-violence

Thanks for the link! I've been reading Maffie's book, and I have some of my own thoughts about the question discussed in that link. I'll refrain from mentioning them here, since it might be getting too off topic.

You've outdone yourself. This is soooo rich I had to take a break.

Any book on the pythagorean proto-Cabala?
