earth ancientsThe last month or so has been a little busier than usual on the podcast front, and I have two more podcasts for your listening pleasure.

First up is the Earth Ancients podcast with Cliff Dunning. Our topic of conversation was my book The Secret of the Temple, and more broadly the possibility that a forgotten archaic technology linked with temples and medieval churches might have been used to increase agricultural fertility in the past.  Regular listeners will recall the earlier conversation Cliff and I had about The Ceremony of the Grail; this one was just as lively and pleasant. You can give it a listen here,

HermitixSecond is another appearance on the Hermitix podcast with the ever-entertaining James Ellis. The theme for this episode was John Gilbert's book The Doors of Tarot, which I edited, and more generally the tarot, divination, and my experiences with John Gilbert and the occult traditions he passed on. As always, a good time was had by all,. You can check it out on Spotify here and on YouTube here.

Ceremony o fthe GrailPandemics and international crises may come and go, but a writer's life follows a slower rhythm, dictated by the hard work of research and writing, to say nothing of the necessary timelines and random whims of publishers.  The book on the left, The Ceremony of the Grail: Ancient Mysteries, Gnostic Heresies, and the Lost Rituals of Freemasonry, is the sequel to my title The Secret of the Temple; it has been in preparation for most of a decade now. and has been working its way through the publication process for most of a year. It's been postponed once already due to supply chain issues, but is currently expected to hit the shelves in December of this year; I'll post more about it as soon as the date of publication is confirmed. 

SotT coverIn the meantime, however, the publisher has been gracious enough to provide a discount on the first book in the series, The Secret of the Temple: Earth Energies, Sacred Geometry, and the Lost Keys of Freemasonry.  This is the book where I first traced the discovery and history of a lost folk technology of agricultural abundance, symbolized in the legends of the Holy Grail and the Temple of Solomon, which used specially designed religious structures as resonating chambers for natural energies to improve crop yields. It's not necessary to read The Secret of the Temple to follow the history recounted in The Ceremony of the Grail -- but I admit it helps. ;-)

Be that as it may, Llewellyn Publications is offering a 20% discount on The Secret of the Temple from now until the end of the year. You can get the discount at the Llewellyn website -- you'll need a Llewellyn account, but you can sign up for one of those for free.  The discount code, which you need to enter at checkout, is TEMPLE20.  

This is an ongoing research project of mine and more books will doubtless be forthcoming. A little less exciting than slogging through distant jungles in search of a lost temple?  No doubt, but it's got fewer scorpions and almost as much of a sense of adventure...
