Quote:Gordon examines the grimoiric legacy of Jake Stratton-Kent. This largely breaks down into 3 main areas:
👁️🗨️ The centring of the Ancient Greek components of what we can broadly call grimoire magic.
👁️🗨️ The attempted rehabilitation of the blue grimoires.
👁️🗨️ Early efforts toward cross-cultural comparison between European magic and New World magic, in particular South American magic.
The grimoire revival and Jake's contribution is also explored.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

Quote:Hadean Press’s Erzebet Barthold returns to the show this week, on the occasion of the release of Cyprian’s Offices of the Spirits -the posthumously published final volume in Jake Stratton-Kent’s Night School.
🗣 We talk about goetia.
🗣 We talk about the sublunar.
🗣 We talk about English Qaballa.
All the Jake hits, really. And, inevitably, we reminisce about the man himself:
✒ His main ideas and contributions.
✒ Who influenced him and who he influenced.
✒ What future generations will make of his work.
✒ Who he was as a friend and a person.
All in all, a lovely chat, and especially timely as the snappily-titled premium member course 'Grimoires: Our Greek Inheritance (The Jake Edit)' starts this weekend!
