In this episode, Kentroversy returns to discuss ancient Egypt. Our conversation covers many different topics, including past lives, alternative history, religion, Hermetics, Alchemy, Tarot, and Magick. Although neither of us are “experts” in an academic sense with regard to egyptology, we have both spent years investigating the research available on the mysteries of the ancient world. Kent also shares his personal esoteric connection. Of course, the architecture and craftsmanship has to be addressed, mainly the pyramids and temples. The appearance of high civilization followed by a descent in technology, architecture, art, etc. cannot be avoided. We also talk about The Emerald Tablet, the concept of Hermes Trismegistus, and much, much more. “He who desires to attain the understanding of the Grand Word and the possession of the Great Secret, ought carefully to read the Hermetic philosophers, and will undoubtedly attain initiation, as others have done; but he must take, for the key of their allegories, the single dogma of Hermes, contained in his Table of Emerald.” - Albert Pike, “Morals and Dogma” As always, Kent brings interesting and original ideas to the table for this latest installment of our ongoing dialogue. Hopefully you enjoy our conversations as much as we do. relevant links: The Kentroversy Papers & The Kentroversy Tapes “The Emerald Tablet: Time Capsule of Wisdom From Mankind’s Unknown Benefactors” - Alchemy Lab Ralph Ellis - researcher and writer of alternative history of ancient Egypt “The Hidden Records Interview” - researcher and writer Wayne Herschel discusses his ancient megalith starmap theories “The Sirius Mystery, the Supreme Council 33rd Degree, and the Great White Lodge of Freemasonry” by Robert Temple “The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation” by Dennis William Hauck “Esoteric Keys of Alchemy” by Paul Foster Case “Magical Egypt” - John Anthony West video series Lily Dale Assembly - Spiritualist center in southwestern New York state, USA The Tarot Connection podcast intro music by HipGnosis Technorati Tags: occult, alternative history, ancient civilizations, Mystery Schools, Philosophy, spirituality, mysticism, Magick, Hermetics, Alchemy, Tarot, religion, past lives Less
