Summary
A solo show from Asunción, Paraguay.
I wanted to share some thoughts that I have been sitting with while remastering all the premium member courses, beginning with Grimoires. These thoughts turned into a full-length solo show.
Hope you like it! AI certainly seems to have had an absolute blast listening to it:
In this thought-provoking episode, Gordon White explores the concept of magical readiness and authenticity in practice. Recording from Paraguay, he delves into what it truly means to be "ready" for magic, challenging common assumptions about magical practice and discussing the difference between genuine magical work and what he terms as "cope" - using magical aesthetics as a form of psychological compensation.
White examines the evolution of Western magical practices, critiques Victorian-era approaches, and discusses the importance of finding one's authentic magical expression. He also touches on current spiritual awakening, the role of shadow work in magical practice, and the emerging significance of biblical archetypes in contemporary magic.
Show Notes
I will be in the Tampa area for some free events on the weekend of March 8th and 9th.

| 0:21.8 | like to mention is I will be in Florida, in the Tampa area next month, Saturday, March 8th, |
| 0:28.6 | Sunday, March 9th. And on the 8th, on the Saturday, there will be another world-famous, |
| 0:33.7 | very popular, higher soup event with the good podcast cousins from the higher side chats. |
| 0:40.1 | So that will be at High Springs Brewery, which is not actually in Tampa. It's a town nearby. |

| 0:51.4 | is on the following Sunday. That will be in Tampa proper. So the brewer event section is on the following Sunday that will be in Tampa |
| 0:54.5 | proper. So the brewery event is free and there'll be links in the show notes for |
| 1:00.3 | RSVPing. You don't have to pay for anything, but the venue and their friends of THC would |
| 1:07.0 | like to know approximate numbers very obviously. So that'll just be a fun afternoon to come and hang out, |

| 1:19.2 | Greg and I will be talking on or exploring the changing conspiracy canon over time. |
| 1:27.2 | Because I've been sitting with that even prior to the recent |
| 1:31.5 | presidential election and and like the how to say this right the things that you believe or |
| 1:41.6 | on board if you consider yourself to use Tim Dillon's words, a conspiracy guy, |
| 1:48.0 | because that's very much changed over time. |
| 1:50.9 | And so we want to be exploring what it is, what it am, what it was, and so on. |
