45
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and gab, but I'm also on ig and a little

46
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 1>bit of Twitter. Yeah, we got a lot to cover today.

47
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 1>We just we'll talk more about Trinidad, some of the

48
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>traditions going on in Trinidad and being that it's West

49
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Indian magic. So I wanted to talk about a little

50
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>bit of some of the other islands, what they're involved with,

51
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>some of the correspondents and you know, look at some

52
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>things happening today with some of these esoteric traditions and

53
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 1>look at some not too well known connections with West

54
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Indian in the Western magic tradition.

55
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know where you where you want to start,

56
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, I guess right now.

57
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 1>Sure, so last time I really didn't get to talk

58
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 1>about the Colleague tradition, but the Colleague tradition is really

59
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>popular in the West Indies, especially Trinidad, Guyana and the

60
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>guy and Is in general like Sirnam. But yeah, I

61
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.319
<v Speaker 1>have you know, in my in my family there's Poujai's

62
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and people relatives that are into following Collie Collige worship.

63
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>And you know, my my dad has told me so

64
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>many interesting stories about you know, Collige, which is such

65
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 1>a uh you know, misunderstood daid goddess and there's not

66
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>much known about her, just you know from writing. She's

67
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>one of the Maha videos videos, which is the ten

68
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>goddesses in the Tantric tradition. She's you know, she's usually

69
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the primary she starts at number one, and uh, you know,

70
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 1>the other forms of the Maha videos are also aspects

71
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>of Kali or Durga that some of the darker aspects.

72
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so I'll share one story my dad told me.

73
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>My dad's my dad's uncle was a pujari for you know,

74
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>it was a colleague devotee sada as best as I

75
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>understand sada. Again, for the listeners who miss part one,

76
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Sada worship, there's there's two types of worship in the

77
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 1>in the tradition, it's you know, white magic or black magic.

78
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 1>But the white magic tradition is sada, which means, uh,

79
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, no blood. So it's you know, you're not

80
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>offering any any life or anything like that. That is

81
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>not as popular as the the Black Contra section as far,

82
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 1>which does. Yeah, so the Black Contra is much more

83
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>popular because people, you know, people want to get rich,

84
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>they want to be you know, they want to be powerful.

85
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Said that again, they want.

86
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>To they want they want to cross the abyss and

87
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>they want that edge. So yeah, the Black Contra is

88
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 1>really really popular. And I just want to just jump

89
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 1>to the States and in New York there's a big

90
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 1>West Indian community and some of the businesses, you know,

91
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 1>they're owned by Trinidadian or Guyanese people, and you know

92
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>they're they're super successful. And you know, if you go

93
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.879
<v Speaker 1>in the store, it's like usually a rot shop. Rot

94
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>shop is like, uh, you know, a restaurant that serves

95
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>really good West Indian food. So you'll see a picture

96
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>of the Davy, you know, the goddess. And this is

97
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 1>a common theme. So a lot of the roaty shops

98
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and and the most successful business owners, by the way,

99
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 1>they participate in callie worship and they do offerings. I've

100
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 1>had a cousin who worked in a roaty shop and

101
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 1>she said, you know, for some reason, every year, some

102
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 1>worker gets hurt or injured, right, and she's like, you know,

103
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.959
<v Speaker 1>I know the owner he's into like black magic and stuff,

104
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.279
<v Speaker 1>so maybe there's something related there that you know, he's

105
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 1>he's offering some some you know, someone gets cut or

106
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 1>some some some blood or injury every year. And that's

107
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>that's really popular. But back to Trinidad, that's that's also

108
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>very popular. And back to the story with my dad's uncle.

109
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>So my dad's uncle was a pujari with with he

110
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>had his own collie temple and everything. And my dad's

111
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 1>cousin was a female. She she committed suicide over a boy. Right,

112
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>They just didn't work out. The parents weren't okay with

113
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 1>the relationship. And in Trinida Ad, a common thing back

114
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>in the day was if you're going to commit suicide,

115
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>it was with gramozoon. So you're drinking. I forgot what

116
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>it is, but basically gets poison. Right. So, my dad's

117
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 1>cousin committed suicide, and you know, my uncle, my dad's

118
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.959
<v Speaker 1>uncle is distraught and he's he's he's at the he

119
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and my dad went to console him and he was

120
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>just there, you know, in the temple by himself. He

121
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>was very sad and distraught obviously, and he says, you know,

122
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 1>he said it was he looked at the watch. He's like,

123
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 1>all right. He said to my dad, Hey, just just

124
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 1>wait right here. I'll I'll be right back. I just

125
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>have to go make a offering and speak to Colligue.

126
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>So my dad's just mining his business in the in

127
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 1>the yard, and no one else is in the in

128
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 1>the in the estate or the temple, and all of

129
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a sudden he sees his uncle just fly back like

130
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty feet in the air like something knocked them,

131
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>knocked them back like twenty thirty feet and my dad

132
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>runs over. He's checking on my dad's uncle and he

133
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 1>just looks like wow, he looks confused because he just

134
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 1>got hit with something. And my dad noticed like a

135
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>big red mark on his forehead and he goes, what happened,

136
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? He was like, if I tell you this,

137
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.519
<v Speaker 1>you can't tell anyone. You know, this is between me

138
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 1>and you. So my dad's uncle goes, you know, he

139
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>was praying to the davy CALLI please please bring my

140
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 1>daughter back, Please bring my daughter back, and then he

141
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>just heard a voice that said I give life, not

142
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 1>so you can take life. And then he just got

143
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>kicked in his head and he just flew back twenty

144
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 1>thirty feet and he was just in a daze and dazzled.

145
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>So this is just one of one of the Collie

146
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 1>stories from Trinidad, and there's a few that's not something

147
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>to be messed around with or taken lightly. So I

148
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 1>thought that was a really interesting story that my dad

149
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 1>told me. And another very popular temple in the South

150
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:13.159
<v Speaker 1>or Collie Temple, big following and whatnot, the hed Poojari.

151
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>One day he just he just committed suicide. He would

152
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>have withoud a shotgun. And he was very beloved in

153
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 1>the village and everything, and he was doing sada as

154
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 1>best as everyone knew. He wasn't he wasn't into like

155
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the black margic part. And it always, it always confused

156
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>me a little bit. I was like, wait a minute,

157
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>this gentleman was not doing any black magic or anything

158
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 1>as best as I'm aware of, right, and what what

159
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>what made him commit suicide? So this this so that, Yeah,

160
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that was just some some colligue stories from Trinidad, which

161
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>is a very powerful goddess and uh, definitely not something

162
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to be you know, play around with lightly. And I

163
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>just want to draw parallels in the Western tradition. I was,

164
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I was following the teachings of this really high rank

165
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 1>in kabbalis. He was he was a Jewish mystic. And

166
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 1>then he shared with me that one of one of

167
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the highest uh you know, the highest what is it?

168
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:26.440
<v Speaker 1>What would he say? Uh? One of the arcanum arcnorums

169
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 1>in his tradition was about related to Kali and it

170
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 1>was Collie's mantra is her true mantra, tantra and yantra.

171
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 1>So for the for for the view for the listeners,

172
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Mantra is sound and uh tantra is the practice, and

173
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 1>yantra is the geometry, the mandalas and everything. So it's

174
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.519
<v Speaker 1>it's the practice from the sound and and and the

175
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the image, the correct you know, all that correct stuff.

176
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>And that really took me back. I was like, wait

177
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a minute, this guy's really high ranking Kabbalis and they

178
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>practiced tantra. And then I went down a rabbit hole

179
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in India, the Jewish influence in India. I had no

180
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 1>idea how many different times there were Jewish migrations to India,

181
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 1>as early as the times of Solomon. Right, So there's

182
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 1>at least six or seven groups just for the viewers,

183
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 1>just for the listeners, Please excuse me, I don't have

184
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>my full notes here, so I'm just winging most of

185
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>this from memory. But there's six or seven groups in

186
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:41.559
<v Speaker 1>India that are there. And I always found that interest

187
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and because you know, throughout history the Jews have been

188
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 1>kicked out of over one hundred and nine countries over

189
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a thousand times, and I always found it interested. They

190
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>were never kicked out of India, right, so they had

191
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a firm foundation there. And then there's so many similarities

192
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.279
<v Speaker 1>between some of the groups, Like like the Sikhs, if

193
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you if you know who the Sikhs are with the Turbans,

194
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:10.960
<v Speaker 1>very very similar tribes because both of them are very

195
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're very loyal to their tribes. You know,

196
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Sikhs and Jews don't usually marry, marry outside or intermingle much.

197
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>They're good with business, they grow their hair, and there's

198
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just so many similarities I picked up on right down

199
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to you know, with the Old Testament you have you know,

200
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Abraham and Sarah, and in the in the in the

201
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 1>in the Eastern tradition, with Hinduism you have Brumha and

202
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 1>set Us with the right. So that's like there's just

203
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.639
<v Speaker 1>so many parallels with some of the words. One of

204
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 1>one of one word is pardisi, which is paradise. And

205
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the the Hebrew U name for it,

206
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.639
<v Speaker 1>but it's it's an acronym, you know, in in uh In,

207
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>in Kabbala, each of a letter stands for another word.

208
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 1>And you got to excuse me again, I don't have

209
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>my full notes, but that's one of the most interesting

210
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 1>uh rabbit holes I went down with some of the

211
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 1>the letter mysticism and then and.

212
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that is I'm glad you're bringing that up,

213
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:17.919
<v Speaker 2>just real quick. And I hate that that doesn't that

214
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Speaker 2>even like it really feels like that really even screws

215
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>up your mat and and all that stuff. More is

216
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 2>that like now if you want to say, hey, olive,

217
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:28.960
<v Speaker 2>but now you've got to add all those you're actually

218
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 2>using other letters to explain one letter, mm hmm, and

219
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>then you can start mind.

220
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>That I don't have my notes right now, but I

221
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>went down that rabbit hole and uh, there's a there's

222
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.200
<v Speaker 1>a very interesting and precise signs to it that that

223
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 1>I picked up on. And side note, I'm not happy

224
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>with how Gomatra is used nowadays. I think it's just

225
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 1>what I call confirmation bias. You'll have conspiracy theorists especially,

226
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.279
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll find, you know, they'll they'll find a code

227
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 1>number forty seven and then they'll use the Enokian Gomatria

228
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>or some gomatri that has nothing to do with the

229
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>original word or the language. I always found interesting that

230
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just confirmation biased. They'll just plug it into whatever

231
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Gomatri system that you know, adheres to the numeric correspondence

232
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 1>that they're trying to go after.

233
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.120
<v Speaker 2>There's a problem with some sites. It's like you could

234
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.480
<v Speaker 2>have like you probably literally have like twelve ciphers you're

235
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>running it through, and it's like at that point, are

236
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>you gonna find what you're looking for? Anyway? Yeah, exactly,

237
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I understand what you're getting it. I do think, you know,

238
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.799
<v Speaker 2>even myself when it comes to Jamatria, I've in some

239
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.320
<v Speaker 2>ways I've kind of calmed down using it in some

240
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>ways and look at it differently. Like even myself, I

241
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 2>really don't kind of really put too much push on

242
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 2>it or I think it's that important unless it's, like

243
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 2>you see it fitting in with like everything else to

244
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.799
<v Speaker 2>where it makes complete. So you know what I'm saying,

245
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Almost where I'm using it again like polymants would, it's

246
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>one part of everything else, you know what I'm saying.

247
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, indeed. So we talked a little bit about the

248
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 1>colleague traditionary.

249
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, okay, So I just want to shout out a

250
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.200
<v Speaker 3>show that Nick and I did a million years ago.

251
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.120
<v Speaker 3>We did the Tantra and Kabbala series. So we compared

252
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.799
<v Speaker 3>the ten mahavijas exactly like what you're talking about to

253
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.759
<v Speaker 3>the ten set on the tree and I gave like

254
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:30.879
<v Speaker 3>my reasoning of why they they would go there, and

255
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:35.279
<v Speaker 3>I used mostly the sepharatic, the eporatic, excuse me, astrology

256
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 3>to argue why that I thought that would be the place,

257
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker 3>why that would be the case? Excuse me, and so

258
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.600
<v Speaker 3>I to But I totally agree with you. I think

259
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 3>that colleagues are very dangerous. Got us. It's very powerful.

260
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 3>It's a instruction of time. I said that she was

261
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 3>like I likened her to maybe the seventh density, if

262
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:56.960
<v Speaker 3>you want to call it that a banah, and how

263
00:15:57.000 --> 00:15:59.559
<v Speaker 3>she is like the you know, she stands upon the

264
00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 3>corpse of time. She is like the destruction of all things.

265
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.960
<v Speaker 3>But it's also the densifying of all things because gravity

266
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:10.399
<v Speaker 3>sort of brings you into formation. So everything. It's like

267
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.879
<v Speaker 3>the same as Krishna worship. Like Krishna and Kali you

268
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:17.200
<v Speaker 3>have that kind of like very close relationship, especially in Bengal.

269
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm really glad that you brought up like the

270
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:23.000
<v Speaker 3>diaspora Jews in India because like the Koshin Jews were

271
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.360
<v Speaker 3>around the call it like the cal Katta Temple, they

272
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.639
<v Speaker 3>were around all this stuff. So in the tenth and

273
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.399
<v Speaker 3>eleventh century when the you know, the totala Tantra was

274
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.919
<v Speaker 3>being written when all this stuff was like happening. Yeah,

275
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.759
<v Speaker 3>there were there were groups you did know, traditional Jewish

276
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 3>kabbala that were there. So it makes sense. And I've

277
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.279
<v Speaker 3>positive that even though the ordering in the totala Tantra

278
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.919
<v Speaker 3>is different than the than the tree, it's not that

279
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.879
<v Speaker 3>they are. It's not that the suffer are in different places.

280
00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.200
<v Speaker 3>It's that the light travels through in a specific way.

281
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:56.679
<v Speaker 3>And so that's how they've mapped it out, just as

282
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.120
<v Speaker 3>like there's a lightning path and a serpent path and

283
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 3>there's the different ways to cross the tree using those formulas.

284
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 3>So I think that it perfectly comes together. It's like

285
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 3>there's already Tndra is a synthesis. And something that Nick

286
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.440
<v Speaker 3>said was I was like, yeah, Nick, that's Tandra. That's

287
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:15.559
<v Speaker 3>like what it is. It's like putting it all kind

288
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.680
<v Speaker 3>of together and like seeing it as a greater whole.

289
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 3>And so yeah, I agree with that. And Callie is

290
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 3>very popular among all of them, and so it's really

291
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.119
<v Speaker 3>interesting because in Indonesia that there is no Collie. She

292
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.960
<v Speaker 3>is just Dirga, but she looks like Collie. So she

293
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.319
<v Speaker 3>will be black and she will be ferocious, and she

294
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 3>will have the lolling tongue.

295
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:41.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay there, Yeah, I assume there was a difference

296
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.680
<v Speaker 2>or something was differently was going on, But I know

297
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.759
<v Speaker 2>what you're talking about, and they do very look look

298
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:47.680
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same.

299
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.880
<v Speaker 3>So there's the thing is like it it all depends

300
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.480
<v Speaker 3>on like the story the text. So if you're like

301
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:01.640
<v Speaker 3>the Indonesians never receive the Collie Tom, so everything that

302
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.039
<v Speaker 3>they had received was pre those tontures being written, so

303
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 3>their practices are caught in a different time. You could say,

304
00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:13.759
<v Speaker 3>just like Trinidad has like they preference colleague, but in Buddhism,

305
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.359
<v Speaker 3>we preference a different one, a different Maha vidja or

306
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.480
<v Speaker 3>a different wisdom goddess. So everybody has kind of like

307
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 3>their framework that they use, and they're kind of like

308
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 3>beginning ending terminus. That's sort of how I've been thinking about.

309
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, maybe that's a little too you know,

310
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.200
<v Speaker 3>speculative magical theory, but I think that there is something

311
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 3>that different places when they receive the text, if they

312
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.799
<v Speaker 3>continue to practice it in the same way, it's interesting

313
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.720
<v Speaker 3>to look at how it changes exactly how we're talking

314
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 3>about from island to island, from place to place, because

315
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 3>you would think of India as being the like origination,

316
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 3>which it is. But then in India they did not

317
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 3>maintain the Samparadais, like the contric Sampuradis are very there's

318
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 3>very few of them left in India. There are contract temples,

319
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:08.640
<v Speaker 3>but there's very few contract stampurdaise like schools that practice,

320
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.319
<v Speaker 3>like a mystery school that practice. So I just think

321
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:15.839
<v Speaker 3>it's interesting how they have preserved this stream of it,

322
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 3>maybe better than in India. And then they've also preferenced

323
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 3>like a particular goddess. I don't know, just some observations, great,

324
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:26.759
<v Speaker 3>great feedback.

325
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.519
<v Speaker 1>I just want to touch on you mentioned Buddhism. Yes,

326
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:34.359
<v Speaker 1>so Buddhism they follow Tara the Green Tower, and in

327
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 1>India the ten Mahavidias. Tara is the second Mahavidia, which

328
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 1>is another expansion of Kali. And yes, Durga is related

329
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>to Kali. Colli's the black aspect of Durga. So the

330
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 1>black mother the un that's a very ancient archetype a

331
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 1>black mother, right, the black Madonna. And I just want

332
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 1>to recommend a really good book if you're interested in this.

333
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>It's David Kingsley Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine, the

334
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>ten Mahavidias. And you know, when I was younger learning

335
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:12.680
<v Speaker 1>about esoteric Hinduism, I was. I was really blown away

336
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.480
<v Speaker 1>by David Kingsley's work. I got to give him a

337
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of credit. He really does justice to you know

338
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that that tradition. And of course you guys probably know

339
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Mike McGee the magician. Uh, he has the Shiva Shakti

340
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 1>website also, and he he bought a lot of the

341
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 1>the tntra to the West with his translations, his original

342
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>translations from a lot of the tontras. So Mike McGhee

343
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.880
<v Speaker 1>his his website I think is Shivashakti dot org or

344
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Siva Shukde something like that. But I'll bring it up later.

345
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 1>And David Kingsley, great author, Jin mentioned the tree and

346
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I definitely want to circle back to what I was

347
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.960
<v Speaker 1>saying with paradise, and you guys will love this this

348
00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:02.759
<v Speaker 1>esoteric breakdown. The word paradise is related to the Hebrew

349
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.279
<v Speaker 1>word pardise, which is also in Sanskrit and in these

350
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 1>par desi, which means orchid or garden. It is also

351
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 1>not to rikhan or an acronym for peshet ramez deche sod.

352
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 1>These are Hebrew terms for peshet. These are the Hebrew

353
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.400
<v Speaker 1>terms for each of the letters. Now right, Peschet is

354
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the literal meaning passed on by religious tradition. Ramez is

355
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the second letter allegorical meaning, The third letter duche hamolytical meaning,

356
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.480
<v Speaker 1>which is the applic application of the general principles of

357
00:21:39.839 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>rhetoric to the specific art of public speaking. And the

358
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.279
<v Speaker 1>fourth is Sod, which is the mystery or the secret meanings.

359
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.759
<v Speaker 1>So there's four layers, and you know, when you use

360
00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:55.519
<v Speaker 1>the kabalistic key, you could you could break down language

361
00:21:55.559 --> 00:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of different correspondence with this. Uh, when

362
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.000
<v Speaker 1>we talk about the four kabbaalistic worlds, they really they

363
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 1>relate to these meanings. Although some fates do not utilize

364
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the sod or esoteric hidden meaning, most still use the

365
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.400
<v Speaker 1>first three. If one grasp the first three, it is

366
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>much easier to stare them towards sod, the mystery. So

367
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.799
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was a great connection there. Okay, so

368
00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:26.319
<v Speaker 1>we talked about Collie.

369
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeh think you just want to interrupt the real quick? Yeah,

370
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I know we covered it in I think our ciphers

371
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:34.920
<v Speaker 2>and scripts and jamatria, but notre Racana is like a

372
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.319
<v Speaker 2>former Jamatri, right, I think you said, like, yeah, a

373
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 2>single letter like stands for something.

374
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Really interesting science.

375
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:48.599
<v Speaker 5>Okay before we do Oh sorry Lisa, no please do

376
00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:51.200
<v Speaker 5>oh Okay, So I just want to say before we

377
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.640
<v Speaker 5>get off, Collie, I just want to say they be

378
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 5>chwo things quick things.

379
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.319
<v Speaker 3>Is that? Yeah? Green Tara definitely I said that she

380
00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:01.240
<v Speaker 3>was just sad. So you have like that sort of

381
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:05.160
<v Speaker 3>like infinite green blue green ray of mercy, like infinite

382
00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.880
<v Speaker 3>in the world in potential. But you know there are

383
00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:12.240
<v Speaker 3>all the Maha Vida goddesses in their own way actually

384
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.440
<v Speaker 3>appear in contrac Buddhism as well. So all of those

385
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.880
<v Speaker 3>they just appear as Daikini's because they came originally from

386
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:24.519
<v Speaker 3>that Choseth Yogini sixty four set, which was not really Hindu,

387
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.440
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't Paranic, and it wasn't Buddhist. It was just tontric.

388
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:32.000
<v Speaker 3>So you had all the different practitioners around. So Chinamasaka

389
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:38.079
<v Speaker 3>is actually a Buddhist goddess rather than a Indian contric goddess.

390
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 3>So I just want to point that out. But absolutely

391
00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:43.240
<v Speaker 3>I totally agree with that. If you are a Khalikolis,

392
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.759
<v Speaker 3>meaning that your preference is Khali as the prime mover,

393
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:50.279
<v Speaker 3>So the number one exactly like Abstarian said, then you

394
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.599
<v Speaker 3>are going to view the tree as an emanation out

395
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.119
<v Speaker 3>of her, which also makes sense in a Christian way

396
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:57.960
<v Speaker 3>if you want to think of it like you're coming

397
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.519
<v Speaker 3>through the three like through Bnah. So you're just saying

398
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 3>that time is the first or the destruction of time

399
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 3>is the prime mover in the world perfectly. I think

400
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 3>anyone who has familiarity with the Coblosi tree could say

401
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.880
<v Speaker 3>that that's a possibility. So yeah, I think that's really interesting.

402
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Great, Fore youback, did you want to say something, Lisa?

403
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was going to say sorry Nick everything Jin said,

404
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.200
<v Speaker 4>and then Nick said something. I was like, oh wait,

405
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 4>because you know you brought up that we did an

406
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.160
<v Speaker 4>episode on Jamatria and how like it's utilized by the

407
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.559
<v Speaker 4>different tenants like Greek, Greek and then Spanish and then

408
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 4>Jewish and you have all these emanations coming out from it.

409
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:43.680
<v Speaker 4>But and correct me if I'm wrong, and I apologize

410
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 4>if this is wrong. But is it a lot of

411
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:51.559
<v Speaker 4>some of the Gematric practices used to formulate magic squares or.

412
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Is that in.

413
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:56.960
<v Speaker 2>The magic squares would be going by the value of

414
00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>the letters would be going by how it is.

415
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 4>And okay, and then you had said something about shaping

416
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:09.119
<v Speaker 4>and see.

417
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.519
<v Speaker 2>It's just real quick. You can use path that ran

418
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:14.640
<v Speaker 2>in two as well. But I mean most people I

419
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:19.359
<v Speaker 2>know attribute Hebrew to there.

420
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:20.799
<v Speaker 3>Is a there is, sorry Lisa sorta, Nick, there is

421
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 3>a tontric thing I'm starting mentioned at Yantra building, So

422
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 3>that does use the Pythagorean like that. It's a triangle system, right,

423
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.880
<v Speaker 3>it's a system of sixty four triangles, but it's really

424
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.200
<v Speaker 3>five down and four up. I think that's right. It

425
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 3>might be the other way, but it's one of those ways.

426
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:41.960
<v Speaker 3>And so if you construct it, you use the letters.

427
00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 3>So you place a bija a seed syllable just like

428
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 3>a Hebrew letter. You would place them in the specific

429
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.400
<v Speaker 3>triangles and then it would be a range according to

430
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 3>like a moon a lunar calendar. So the way that

431
00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:00.400
<v Speaker 3>you would order them going clockwise or counterclockwise, it would depend.

432
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 3>It could shift depending on like what niche, a goddess

433
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 3>you were worshiping, or whatever whatever important fostival there was.

434
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:12.480
<v Speaker 4>And it's it's something that's used in Sufiism, isn't it?

435
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 4>Or am I incorrect?

436
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:16.799
<v Speaker 3>No, you're totally right. And I've been reading a little

437
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:18.960
<v Speaker 3>bit about this al I think they call it el

438
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Kabani kabbala or something. It's it's it's a very popular

439
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:29.519
<v Speaker 3>form of kabala for the Golden Dawn, is how I understand,

440
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:34.000
<v Speaker 3>And so they it's but it's it's Islamic. It's not Jewish.

441
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:38.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously yes, Jewish ris but yeah, you're totally right.

442
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:44.920
<v Speaker 3>They have Islamic letter mysticism, which most normative Muslims actually

443
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.240
<v Speaker 3>do know, seem to know a little bit about, or

444
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:50.880
<v Speaker 3>at least understand that it exists.

445
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 4>Absidarian's point is that you look at all these different religions,

446
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 4>regardless of what they are, their mystic arm or the

447
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker 4>part of that religion or the mystic one, are still

448
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:08.079
<v Speaker 4>using deematria, are still using these methods to form or

449
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.599
<v Speaker 4>to help guide them in their mystic journey. And so

450
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 4>when people and to your point exactly, people are using

451
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 4>jamatria and almost bastardizing the entire process when it's actually

452
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:26.759
<v Speaker 4>a very I guess methodological type of a way to

453
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:32.519
<v Speaker 4>formulate things. I don't know, maybe not, but so no.

454
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 3>That's a really good point, Lisa, because I think when

455
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:37.559
<v Speaker 3>you know when you and do the shows on the

456
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.720
<v Speaker 3>medieval like, uh, who's the one that Nick gloves on

457
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.680
<v Speaker 3>the grim wires? But the Michael Myers, So he's talking

458
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.039
<v Speaker 3>a lot about cipher's. Nick always talks about Michael Myers, right,

459
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.839
<v Speaker 3>so that he's talking about ciphers all the time. And

460
00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:53.039
<v Speaker 3>I think that that's what we've seen in modern occultism,

461
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.839
<v Speaker 3>is that they've increased sort of the use of the ciphers.

462
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.279
<v Speaker 3>So we're much more familiar with the ciphers they would

463
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.519
<v Speaker 3>use in like Crowley, like we can we can see

464
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 3>there's a little spycraft at play. We may not understand it,

465
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 3>but we know it's there. So I think it's become

466
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:13.680
<v Speaker 3>muddy because of how out in the culture it has become,

467
00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:16.799
<v Speaker 3>and also our level of awareness, right, Like we're never

468
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:18.799
<v Speaker 3>able to speak like this at any other time in

469
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:23.079
<v Speaker 3>history than right now. So you know, like how you

470
00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:26.960
<v Speaker 3>were saying before, it's like the show that the dialogue

471
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 3>that we have as multiple people, we we kind of

472
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.799
<v Speaker 3>create a polymath in a way for at least an

473
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 3>hour and a half.

474
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, so try you know, yeah, great points. I just

475
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.799
<v Speaker 1>wanted to build on on what some of your comments

476
00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:49.400
<v Speaker 1>with the the Yantra. So I want to talk about

477
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the Shri Yantra, which is like the one of the

478
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>top juntras and in in Tantra. The Shri Yantra is

479
00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 1>core response to one of the Maha videos, not Kali,

480
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Speaker 1>but even more hidden aspect that not too many people

481
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 1>aware of. And some say this is even higher, which

482
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:15.440
<v Speaker 1>is Tripura Sundari, which is like the she's a sixteen

483
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.319
<v Speaker 1>year old davy. One of her epithets is Sodashi, which

484
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>means the sixteenth, so it's a hidden sixteenth syllable. There's

485
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a fifteenth syllable mantra and she brings out the full

486
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:34.839
<v Speaker 1>mantra if you're initiated by mounted air, so it turns

487
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 1>the fifteen seed mantra into sixteen. And I always found

488
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:41.759
<v Speaker 1>it interest in, you know what, as a corresponds to

489
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:47.640
<v Speaker 1>letters in my esoteric research, I've found in numerous sources

490
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.960
<v Speaker 1>from Papus to Saint Martin, they also claim that the

491
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>original alphabet had sixteen letters. So I always thought that

492
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:03.799
<v Speaker 1>was a really interesting correspondence. And I even drew the sriantra.

493
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 1>So I was years ago. I was just fastened or Navatri,

494
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>which is the nine nights for the davy. So you

495
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:14.559
<v Speaker 1>do fasten and you worship. And during that time, I

496
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:17.079
<v Speaker 1>was really into geometry. And let me tell you, when

497
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you draw geometry, that thing comes to life. It's similar

498
00:30:20.720 --> 00:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>they say, you know, if you have a tarot deck,

499
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it's even more powerful. If you draw your own tarot

500
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:29.599
<v Speaker 1>deck while fastened, you're gonna draw way better cards and

501
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna even better correspondence. So a lot of magicians

502
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>part of their training or initiation is you gotta draw

503
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:40.400
<v Speaker 1>your own deck. Right. So I remember, when I was

504
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.480
<v Speaker 1>learning a lot about this, I came across this interesting quote.

505
00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:48.880
<v Speaker 1>It was Shiva is Shiva without shakti. Shiva means corpse,

506
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:53.680
<v Speaker 1>So Shiva is Shiva without shuks shakti. So that means,

507
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, the popular icon of Kali standing on Shiva

508
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:02.319
<v Speaker 1>with her tongue out. So there's just so much rich

509
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.319
<v Speaker 1>symbolism right there. And I just had a thought, well, well,

510
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:09.200
<v Speaker 1>while doing this podcast, how you know, I'm sure there's

511
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 1>a there's a connection between the ten Maha videos and

512
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>we can map that on the tree with the ten sephara.

513
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure I just thought of this right now, but

514
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty much sure there's a correspondence there right with

515
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the tree.

516
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:23.359
<v Speaker 2>Makes sense to me.

517
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, yeah, well as I argue that there there is,

518
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you don't have to follow my way, but

519
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.240
<v Speaker 3>I agree. I think that there's a one to one

520
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:36.759
<v Speaker 3>relationship between the shakti's and like maybe a shakendah layer.

521
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you could say it's like the seventh density of

522
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:43.200
<v Speaker 3>the sufferra. Yeah, absolutely, Like as I said, a Collie

523
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.319
<v Speaker 3>and Banah. It makes a lot of sense to me

524
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.640
<v Speaker 3>in a tontric way. She's raising the time king. She's

525
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 3>raising Mahakala back into life from his corpse, just like

526
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:58.960
<v Speaker 3>the example you gave, Like shere Shiva without Shakti is Shava, right,

527
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:03.519
<v Speaker 3>So she's raising his corpse from Shiva into Mahakala into time,

528
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.160
<v Speaker 3>bringing time into the Leila. That makes a lot of

529
00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:11.200
<v Speaker 3>sense to me. I don't know, just just riffing, I

530
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:13.319
<v Speaker 3>guess certainly.

531
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 2>So do you think that's a lot like Isis and Osavius?

532
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, can I speak on that because I did

533
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:27.079
<v Speaker 1>some research between India and Egypt. You know, both of

534
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:31.359
<v Speaker 1>them really revere the lotus one. Osiris is really a

535
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Shiva figure, right, So I have this I did this

536
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:40.960
<v Speaker 1>meme where isis is in Egypt, she found all the

537
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 1>pieces of Osiris except one and then the next frame

538
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.119
<v Speaker 1>is meanwhile in India and you have the lingam. So yes,

539
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the the symbolism between the fourteenth part of that's missing

540
00:32:56.440 --> 00:33:00.119
<v Speaker 1>of Osiris. I I correlate that to Shiva's lingam with

541
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the phallic symbol the creative essence. And in uh in Hinduism,

542
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>esoteric Hinduism, the titties are the moon cycles. The fourteen

543
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is uh that that relates to that the titis which

544
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:14.799
<v Speaker 1>is the you know, one of the phases of the moon.

545
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:20.359
<v Speaker 1>So one hundred's there's a correspondence I see in Egypt

546
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and uh in in India. And if you look at

547
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Rudolf Steiner's cosmology, he says that the post Atlantis civilizations,

548
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the first epoch was in India and the second was

549
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in Egypt. So and I always felt that was true

550
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:41.240
<v Speaker 1>with with my uh you know, my research and everything.

551
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:46.079
<v Speaker 1>But the first epoch in India we have zero written records,

552
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>zero anything we have now it's those are like the

553
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.319
<v Speaker 1>third epoch with with the Vedas that came much later.

554
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:56.279
<v Speaker 1>So before there there was no written records and things

555
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:58.799
<v Speaker 1>like that. You just have to go into clairvoyance the

556
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Kashak records happened to the ether to really find that correspondence.

557
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:06.680
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I do see a very interesting correspondence between

558
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Osiris and Shiva, very similar symbolism and correspondence. So I'm

559
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:14.079
<v Speaker 1>glad you bought that up.

560
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:21.000
<v Speaker 3>Also, also Isis and Tara. So Isis doesn't really relate

561
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 3>to Kali. But if you relate Isis to Tara or

562
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 3>Uma Tara, meaning that she can it can cover the

563
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 3>identity of her in the Vitas, the Piranhas, and the tontras.

564
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:36.000
<v Speaker 3>And then I think that she corresponds to an Isis figure,

565
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:42.840
<v Speaker 3>just as Durga can populate the tree using the nov Durga. Right,

566
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Like there are different expressions of the goddess depending on

567
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 3>where you're You're saying is the first one. So if

568
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:53.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it makes more sense in the comparative comparative

569
00:34:53.480 --> 00:34:57.840
<v Speaker 3>like theology, I guess is to look at Isis and

570
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Uma Tara rather than Ice and Callie. So I think

571
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:05.119
<v Speaker 3>that's where like that perspective, like where you prefer Tara

572
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:08.400
<v Speaker 3>as the prime how maybe how close were you to

573
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:10.320
<v Speaker 3>the original story or how close were you to the

574
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Egyptian story? And then different people preference different versions, right.

575
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:24.159
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, ahead, can I mention something and please correct me

576
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 4>if I'm wrong, because I am. I'm going to riff

577
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:31.400
<v Speaker 4>like like Jinja said, So the lotus is extremely popular

578
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.840
<v Speaker 4>in I'm going to go with Egyptian. And you all

579
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.440
<v Speaker 4>just said O cyrus and isis and so you have

580
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.679
<v Speaker 4>the what is it duality? I guess you could say,

581
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:42.679
<v Speaker 4>so to speak or whatever the opposed the opposites, right,

582
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.599
<v Speaker 4>And when you look at most of the what's what's

583
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 4>put on walls and what's depicted on the walls in Egypt,

584
00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:55.960
<v Speaker 4>you constantly see the lotus or the water lily. You know,

585
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:59.559
<v Speaker 4>I know they're two totally different species, but bear with me, uh,

586
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.000
<v Speaker 4>and please correct me if I'm wrong. I believe the

587
00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:07.280
<v Speaker 4>lotus and the water lily are protodymus in that one

588
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.679
<v Speaker 4>day they will be well. They first develop as female,

589
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:14.480
<v Speaker 4>and when a pollinator lands on them, they will close

590
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.239
<v Speaker 4>the flower, go all the way into the water, and

591
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:21.760
<v Speaker 4>come back up as a male. And then the pollinator

592
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:26.719
<v Speaker 4>will walk around the flower, pollinating the rest of the

593
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.079
<v Speaker 4>area of the flower, and then it will close again,

594
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.719
<v Speaker 4>come back down and then come back up as a female.

595
00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:36.320
<v Speaker 4>And then you know, the whole pollination begins and what

596
00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:39.000
<v Speaker 4>have you. Isn't that Trojan or am I miss?

597
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.880
<v Speaker 3>No? That's no, that's one hundred percent correct. That's why

598
00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:44.679
<v Speaker 3>when you see them in Asia, the lotuses will always

599
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.039
<v Speaker 3>grow in a colony, like when you see them in

600
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:50.639
<v Speaker 3>the late like any pictures from Vietnam or India, those

601
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.519
<v Speaker 3>grow in a colony because it's really like only a

602
00:36:53.559 --> 00:36:58.719
<v Speaker 3>few plants together, right, It might be multiple expressions, but

603
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:03.079
<v Speaker 3>it's really only maybe two or three plants in total.

604
00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:06.239
<v Speaker 3>So it's always like a colony like that. And so yeah,

605
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:08.239
<v Speaker 3>you're totally right. And I think that there's even in

606
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:10.679
<v Speaker 3>something interesting that you're saying with her Meth there's a

607
00:37:10.760 --> 00:37:17.039
<v Speaker 3>hermetic sort of element of like transitioning between genders, right,

608
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:19.920
<v Speaker 3>And so that's also interesting to what Absidarian was saying

609
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 3>about tripperro Sundery, because when I did those episodes with Nick,

610
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 3>which is that's a long series they I talked a

611
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:32.639
<v Speaker 3>lot about tripro Sindery, how she is like in Buddhism

612
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:36.599
<v Speaker 3>she is kind of very very important Dakini goddess, and

613
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:40.199
<v Speaker 3>that she is also the expression of the word, so

614
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:42.480
<v Speaker 3>she is the third cause, like if you're using the

615
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 3>to reference with Absidarian said the Todala TNTRA list, Colley's

616
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:51.400
<v Speaker 3>number one, Tara's number two, number three is Tripperro Sindery,

617
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:54.199
<v Speaker 3>So she is the third cause. But there's also another

618
00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:57.280
<v Speaker 3>way to read that. So time as you know, Lisa,

619
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.719
<v Speaker 3>as I've said, even between us before, one can never

620
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:03.880
<v Speaker 3>be one is not a prime number, so one can

621
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:07.280
<v Speaker 3>never really be first cause. So the second cause really

622
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.800
<v Speaker 3>is where you start. It's perception. But then what is

623
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:15.000
<v Speaker 3>perception without like a container? So what is the container?

624
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:18.800
<v Speaker 3>Is the word? So you could say that in shri Vijia,

625
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:23.639
<v Speaker 3>that different school than Callikola, so they prefer trip or

626
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Sundry as their sort of like main goddess, and they

627
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.159
<v Speaker 3>would say that actually Collie is an expression of her,

628
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:32.840
<v Speaker 3>just as a colleae Cola would say that she is

629
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:35.840
<v Speaker 3>an expression of colleague. But she has more of a

630
00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:40.440
<v Speaker 3>wide range appeals. She's not a dark she's like, she's

631
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:43.920
<v Speaker 3>very she's a vibrant. She's much more vibrant, So it's

632
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:47.760
<v Speaker 3>it's a different I would say, it's a different polarity almost,

633
00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:51.559
<v Speaker 3>it's like a different energy, but it's also talking about

634
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:56.000
<v Speaker 3>the same energy. So I think that's she her symbol

635
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:58.719
<v Speaker 3>is the lotus, and the lotus really is the sixty

636
00:38:58.719 --> 00:39:02.159
<v Speaker 3>four triangles. And so we all notice that most Buddhists,

637
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:08.280
<v Speaker 3>most Indian especially shockeda goddess cosmology iconography, they will always

638
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:11.079
<v Speaker 3>show a lotus. So some on the pictures with Nick

639
00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:13.360
<v Speaker 3>that I showed with some of them had eleven pedals,

640
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:15.679
<v Speaker 3>some of them had nine pedals, some of them had

641
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:18.559
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and eight pedals. So it really depends on

642
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:23.519
<v Speaker 3>your system, what the text is saying, and then the

643
00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:26.519
<v Speaker 3>artists artists preference. But I think to go with your

644
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:29.440
<v Speaker 3>point about the lotuses, it's kind of like that with language,

645
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:33.880
<v Speaker 3>like about jamatria. It's like there are multiple expressions of

646
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:37.079
<v Speaker 3>the same system and then maybe over time the system

647
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker 3>degrades because everybody has sort of forgotten how to interpret

648
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.440
<v Speaker 3>it in the original way. And I think that's also

649
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:45.280
<v Speaker 3>like what the part as is.

650
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Like.

651
00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:48.360
<v Speaker 3>The parta system is like the pomegranates, right, the garden

652
00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:52.440
<v Speaker 3>of pomegranates or the orchard of pomegrants, both, that's what

653
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:54.440
<v Speaker 3>it is. It's like, do there are the seeds corrupted?

654
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:58.079
<v Speaker 3>Are the beijas purified? That's what Buddhist sunskret is for.

655
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:01.000
<v Speaker 3>So when we do like the Hovid, like we don't

656
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:03.559
<v Speaker 3>call them the Mahavij's, but when we do those kind

657
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:07.880
<v Speaker 3>of more left handed rituals for those tikinis or whatever

658
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:12.599
<v Speaker 3>or goddesses, it's to purify the bijas. So it's just

659
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:16.440
<v Speaker 3>to pure ritually purify them and make them like pristine again,

660
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 3>like the primordial. So that's the difference really between like

661
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:25.159
<v Speaker 3>Buddhism and Hinduism. But there's something really interesting there. I think,

662
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:28.280
<v Speaker 3>like just like how we're looking at different systems changing,

663
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:32.400
<v Speaker 3>evolving and also localizing, because I think that's a big

664
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:34.039
<v Speaker 3>part of Jamatria and I think it's a lot a

665
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.000
<v Speaker 3>lot of West Indian magic as well. It's like how

666
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:41.639
<v Speaker 3>it's localized to the conditions of different streams of influence.

667
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Which is why there's differences between different islands.

668
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Anything else, Yeah, sure, So, yeah, I just wanted to

669
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:55.719
<v Speaker 1>talk about the lotus symbolism a little bit that Lisa mentioned. Yeah,

670
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't. I took a great trip to uh each

671
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:02.360
<v Speaker 1>of years ago. I did a Nile cruise and you

672
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.719
<v Speaker 1>would stop off and all Cairo asked, you know, asked

673
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.800
<v Speaker 1>all the different places. I was just blown away by

674
00:41:08.840 --> 00:41:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the you know, I went into great Pyramid, really amazing energy.

675
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:18.880
<v Speaker 1>But yet the Lotus I noticed there were two flowers

676
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.039
<v Speaker 1>that I noticed in a lot of the art and

677
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:25.199
<v Speaker 1>and the symbolism. It was actually the lotus and the papyrus.

678
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>I saw a lot and the papyrus. I learned that

679
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:32.880
<v Speaker 1>it represented Lower Egypt, which was the north, and the

680
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>lotus was Upper Egypt, which was the you know, the

681
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:40.800
<v Speaker 1>south of Egypt. And you know the the lotus, if

682
00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:43.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you know anything about the Egyptians, they

683
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:47.400
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of time preparing for the afterlife, right,

684
00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:51.880
<v Speaker 1>so the Lotus had to do with like rebirth and eternity, resurrection,

685
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.400
<v Speaker 1>renewal of life. So I always thought that was really interested.

686
00:41:56.119 --> 00:41:58.960
<v Speaker 1>And then I always wanted to do a study between

687
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:02.159
<v Speaker 1>the Egyptian Book the Dead and the Tibetan Book of

688
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:06.719
<v Speaker 1>the Dead. Any has anyone read any of those two.

689
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Egypt Egyptian. Yeah, I've read, I've read the Tibetan. I

690
00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:13.760
<v Speaker 3>will say this for the Tibetan is that it's an

691
00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:17.000
<v Speaker 3>incomplete version of our Barbo books. So yeah, there are

692
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:18.960
<v Speaker 3>parts of it that are real, there are parts of

693
00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:22.880
<v Speaker 3>it that were invented for that seventies, you know, New

694
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Age audience. I guess you could say, but there's really

695
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:28.960
<v Speaker 3>there's real stuff, Like there's they talk about like the

696
00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:32.840
<v Speaker 3>different tikinis. You'll see the forty nine Nights of the

697
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Soul traveling through the Smoky Realm. Yeah, I mean it's

698
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:40.360
<v Speaker 3>it's very interesting. It's definitely influenced, like Tontra has definitely

699
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:44.360
<v Speaker 3>influenced modern magic. I mean we see it. We interviewed

700
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:48.079
<v Speaker 3>the guy from Temple of Set the other day and

701
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:50.960
<v Speaker 3>he that's a big part of Temple of Set, right,

702
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:54.599
<v Speaker 3>Like they they really love that Evela, the Bairava Tantras,

703
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:57.719
<v Speaker 3>the Collie Contras. They're really interested in them. Not that

704
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:01.880
<v Speaker 3>they're necessarily doing exactly what those say, they're interested in

705
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:06.920
<v Speaker 3>the ideas. So I think that the like contra is

706
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:10.480
<v Speaker 3>really interesting to look at in the West Indian context

707
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:15.440
<v Speaker 3>because it didn't it sort of stayed the same, whereas

708
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Tontra sort of it evolved into something else. In the

709
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.000
<v Speaker 3>other parts of the world, there's kind of much more

710
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:26.199
<v Speaker 3>of the tradition of like, oh, it's like you worship

711
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:29.239
<v Speaker 3>this to get rich fast. That's not really what Tontra's for,

712
00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:31.639
<v Speaker 3>but that's kind of like the that's more maybe a

713
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:35.360
<v Speaker 3>village more village person's perspective, like they're going to worship

714
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:36.119
<v Speaker 3>the harder deity.

715
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 2>Sorry you're talking. I will say that from my experience

716
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:44.840
<v Speaker 2>in like I guess the magical community or ceremonial magician

717
00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:47.800
<v Speaker 2>community doesn't really matter kind of I guess, like what

718
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:50.719
<v Speaker 2>order or what kind of stuff you'd be into. Tontra

719
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:53.400
<v Speaker 2>seems to be like just like a tool that any magician,

720
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:56.079
<v Speaker 2>no matter what they're practicing, may decided to use one

721
00:43:56.159 --> 00:43:59.360
<v Speaker 2>day in their magical thing. It doesn't actually from just

722
00:43:59.400 --> 00:44:01.039
<v Speaker 2>my experience, so it doesn't matter like what kind of

723
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:03.440
<v Speaker 2>stuff you're into. It just seems to be something like meditation,

724
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.480
<v Speaker 2>same thing, you know what I'm saying, or if you're

725
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:08.679
<v Speaker 2>into certain breathing techniques. It's just like almost like a

726
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:11.559
<v Speaker 2>common thing that has just used no matter what you're into.

727
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Well you know that it was terror first. Yeah, no,

728
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:21.719
<v Speaker 3>you're you're absolutely true. Y're that's absolutely correct. Like the

729
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:25.159
<v Speaker 3>first guy who wrote the first nentre in English, hor

730
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:28.679
<v Speaker 3>translated the first Tontra was Sir John A. Woodruff. He

731
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:31.880
<v Speaker 3>was third. He was the governor of Calcutta for thirty

732
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:36.159
<v Speaker 3>nine years. Interesting number, and he his wife was also

733
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:41.159
<v Speaker 3>a colleague Contraca of the highest ninth ninth Marga. So

734
00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:43.119
<v Speaker 3>she had gone all the way. He had gone all

735
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:45.440
<v Speaker 3>the way. He was a member of the Golden Dawn.

736
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:49.400
<v Speaker 3>He was also a member of like the Calcutta's Masonic

737
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:52.760
<v Speaker 3>like whatever thing. They had a huge Masonic temple. So

738
00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:56.559
<v Speaker 3>he was obviously crossing systems like way back in like

739
00:44:56.760 --> 00:45:03.159
<v Speaker 3>whatever eighteen o five. Yeah, exactly, because they can see

740
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:11.440
<v Speaker 3>that if there's something there, something powerful like thread right

741
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:15.480
<v Speaker 3>and and like the universal archetypes, so it makes sense

742
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:17.599
<v Speaker 3>like drawing on the threads that we've been drawing on,

743
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:21.199
<v Speaker 3>like the Maha vijays. Yes, there's an absolute relationship to

744
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.440
<v Speaker 3>the Keybrew tree, absolutely, like no question about it. Now,

745
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:26.880
<v Speaker 3>whether you want to use mine attributions or you know,

746
00:45:26.920 --> 00:45:29.159
<v Speaker 3>there's other people who've done it. They just put Collie

747
00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:32.599
<v Speaker 3>at Cather, which changes the whole nature of the tree, right.

748
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:36.880
<v Speaker 3>I didn't do that because that's not I didn't think

749
00:45:36.920 --> 00:45:40.400
<v Speaker 3>that was cracked. So I did my own thing, like ahways.

750
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Interesting Absodarian m Is there anything else that you wanted

751
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:53.239
<v Speaker 2>to touch on? Uh?

752
00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let me see we were since we were speaking

753
00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:58.920
<v Speaker 1>about Tonch I just wanted to circle back on that

754
00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:01.559
<v Speaker 1>that website that you guys should definitely check out if

755
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:04.559
<v Speaker 1>you if you want to see some really cool information

756
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:08.280
<v Speaker 1>on this subject is Mike McGee's site. He's passed away,

757
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:14.239
<v Speaker 1>but it's Shiva Shakti dot com. So basically Shiva Shakti

758
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:19.400
<v Speaker 1>dot com. It's it's a great reference. And uh, you know,

759
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:22.400
<v Speaker 1>I just want to to touch on the some of

760
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the origins. Has to do it for my research. Kashmir sham.

761
00:46:29.360 --> 00:46:34.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is around eight p fifty CE and uh,

762
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:38.440
<v Speaker 1>let me see what was the name of the of

763
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the founder? Oh man, it's a go rock. It's a

764
00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:44.119
<v Speaker 1>go rock something. It's slipping me right now. But does

765
00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:47.079
<v Speaker 1>anyone know any anything about never even that stream?

766
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I do know about it, but I pause

767
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.400
<v Speaker 3>a little earlier. I think this Buddhism has a different

768
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:58.480
<v Speaker 3>ignorants its own history. Right, So we say that TNTRA

769
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:03.079
<v Speaker 3>came from us, which is obviously all magicians do this, right,

770
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:06.519
<v Speaker 3>They always claim the origin of things. So but I

771
00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.039
<v Speaker 3>know exactly what you're talking about.

772
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:08.320
<v Speaker 1>It.

773
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:12.599
<v Speaker 3>You know, it really arose in Kashmir among the na

774
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:16.960
<v Speaker 3>the naf yogis, so Matsandra Knov being number one, then

775
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:20.760
<v Speaker 3>Gornov being number two. So that's really where the appearance

776
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:24.199
<v Speaker 3>of these kind of nondual bi rava tantra is like

777
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:26.519
<v Speaker 3>a god of day and night. That's one way to

778
00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:29.800
<v Speaker 3>think about it. Or time, you could say time and

779
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:33.320
<v Speaker 3>waking time and sleeping time or dreaming time.

780
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good connection, definitely. Yeah, you hit the nail on

781
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the head with the goak and the not tradition. That

782
00:47:41.719 --> 00:47:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that was the word I was looking for as well,

783
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:46.039
<v Speaker 1>A very very interesting stream if you look at the

784
00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:50.639
<v Speaker 1>history there. All right, So we talked about the colleague tradition,

785
00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's only fair we talk about some

786
00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:57.239
<v Speaker 1>of the other islands and and you know some of

787
00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the similarities in the correspondence, so you know the so

788
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:06.400
<v Speaker 1>we talked about in part one Obia which is Obia

789
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and Shango is more more for Trinidad. So Obia is

790
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:16.559
<v Speaker 1>basically non centralized, right, there's not really not a central

791
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:19.719
<v Speaker 1>canon and uh, Shango is very similar. I don't know

792
00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:22.679
<v Speaker 1>much about it, but it's a very similar local practice.

793
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:28.599
<v Speaker 1>And uh, I'll share a quick story Obia story on

794
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:33.079
<v Speaker 1>from my family. I had an uncle on my dad's side.

795
00:48:34.280 --> 00:48:36.800
<v Speaker 1>He was born with a spiritual gift, you know, and

796
00:48:37.079 --> 00:48:39.920
<v Speaker 1>with sight and uh you know, there's a lot of

797
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:43.360
<v Speaker 1>different competing traditions in Trinidad and the West Indies in general,

798
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:49.199
<v Speaker 1>from you know, Obia Shango uh Tantra. And he was

799
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a teenager when he started getting his gift of vision

800
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:55.840
<v Speaker 1>and and and and you know uh and the gift

801
00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:59.519
<v Speaker 1>of tongue, and he couldn't handle it. He would trip

802
00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:04.039
<v Speaker 1>off every noight and he'd have like episodes, and the family,

803
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, they would go to they went everywhere for help.

804
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.960
<v Speaker 1>They went to the imams which Islam, they went to

805
00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:15.039
<v Speaker 1>like Christian priests, they went to Hindu pundits. And we

806
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:18.239
<v Speaker 1>found that there were people trying to steal his gift,

807
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:22.199
<v Speaker 1>which is a very common practice you know in the village,

808
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.639
<v Speaker 1>as if someone knows you have a spiritual gift, they

809
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:27.519
<v Speaker 1>would either try to you know, bring you down or

810
00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, take your gift. Right, So this was this

811
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:34.719
<v Speaker 1>was what was happening with my uncle. There different people

812
00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:38.320
<v Speaker 1>were just trying to take his gift. There's a Obi,

813
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a man living across the street that would always you know,

814
00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:44.960
<v Speaker 1>do black magic and mess with them. And this Obi

815
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a man actually killed my grandfather with alcohol. He he

816
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.840
<v Speaker 1>came out of the hospital and you know, with some

817
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:55.159
<v Speaker 1>ulcers and stuff in his stomach and he couldn't drink,

818
00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and the obiaman across the street was like, hey, let's

819
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.400
<v Speaker 1>have a drink for old times sake, YadA, YadA, YadA,

820
00:50:01.800 --> 00:50:03.760
<v Speaker 1>And we found out that, you know, he was just

821
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:06.280
<v Speaker 1>really just trying to do black magic on the family

822
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.519
<v Speaker 1>and everything. So, uh, after my dad he was like, man,

823
00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:15.719
<v Speaker 1>we're taking my uncle everywhere around. He's not getting help. Uh,

824
00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:18.800
<v Speaker 1>let me go to Guyana because Guyana at the time

825
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:21.800
<v Speaker 1>was known for the for the buck people. These these

826
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:25.159
<v Speaker 1>are like the bush people, the bush like they were indigenous.

827
00:50:25.199 --> 00:50:28.920
<v Speaker 1>They're you know, they know the land. They're really powerful magicians.

828
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:34.639
<v Speaker 1>And at the time, you know, my dad he told

829
00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:36.800
<v Speaker 1>this great story. He was just you know, he's in

830
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.679
<v Speaker 1>the forest. He had to go with the canoe for

831
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:43.159
<v Speaker 1>like miles and miles and then he met with this

832
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:48.239
<v Speaker 1>female shaman just in in the in the Amazon rainforest,

833
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.920
<v Speaker 1>right and uh and she just smiles when she sees

834
00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:54.920
<v Speaker 1>my dad. It's like I've been expecting you. So my

835
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:59.280
<v Speaker 1>dad tells him, tells her the situation. You know, everybody's

836
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to my uncle's gift. What can we do. We

837
00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:04.199
<v Speaker 1>went some we've tried to get help from somewhere. So

838
00:51:04.519 --> 00:51:07.840
<v Speaker 1>many places. He keeps tripping off, he's having like psychotic

839
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:12.400
<v Speaker 1>episodes and he's getting violent, and uh, He's like, yeah,

840
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.239
<v Speaker 1>well there's you know, the obium on is really sending

841
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:18.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of send sending a lot of magic his way.

842
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Before I do this, I could reverse it, but you

843
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:25.119
<v Speaker 1>sure you want to you know, you shure you want

844
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to reverse it and everything. This is very powerful work

845
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:33.079
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not sure what will happen. And he's like, yeah,

846
00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:35.559
<v Speaker 1>and I forgot what she did. She did something, She

847
00:51:35.639 --> 00:51:38.679
<v Speaker 1>did some some prayers and then she threw some nails

848
00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:43.039
<v Speaker 1>in air. And you know at that time, you know,

849
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:47.039
<v Speaker 1>there's no cell phones or anything like that, right, and

850
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:48.840
<v Speaker 1>then she threw the nails in the air. She did

851
00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:51.880
<v Speaker 1>her work or whatever, and then they left and my

852
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:56.360
<v Speaker 1>dad went to uh back to Trinidad, and he went

853
00:51:56.480 --> 00:52:00.000
<v Speaker 1>to his house and there was a funeral across the street.

854
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:02.519
<v Speaker 1>While he was there. He was like, oh, the Obie

855
00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:06.320
<v Speaker 1>man passed away while you were in Guyana. And they

856
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:09.880
<v Speaker 1>did the time correspondence, like my dad was with the

857
00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:15.039
<v Speaker 1>with the with the bush Lady, the buck lady. She

858
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:18.079
<v Speaker 1>was with them around nine o'clock when he when she

859
00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:22.199
<v Speaker 1>threw the nails in the air. My cousins and my

860
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:23.960
<v Speaker 1>aunts and uncle there there was like, oh, we heard

861
00:52:23.960 --> 00:52:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a big scream from across the street around nine o'clock. Right,

862
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:33.480
<v Speaker 1>So this guy passed away and then a few months

863
00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:39.079
<v Speaker 1>later his house burned down and whatnot. And then my

864
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:42.119
<v Speaker 1>my uncle calmed down. He was like normal with the parentheses,

865
00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:44.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, he still had his vision and whatever. But

866
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:48.519
<v Speaker 1>my dad a couple of months later he went back

867
00:52:48.559 --> 00:52:50.719
<v Speaker 1>to Guyana because he would go to Guyana, he had

868
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:53.480
<v Speaker 1>family over there, and he just went to the lady

869
00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:58.079
<v Speaker 1>to thank her and she passed away. Because it was

870
00:52:58.159 --> 00:53:01.119
<v Speaker 1>just such powerful. You know, when you kick back magic

871
00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:05.119
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it goes back to you. And this but my

872
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:08.159
<v Speaker 1>dad's a better storyteller. I don't have the notes, but man,

873
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:11.440
<v Speaker 1>what a story he told me with this whole ordeal,

874
00:53:11.559 --> 00:53:15.679
<v Speaker 1>with with this happening. And real quick, while we're on

875
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:22.039
<v Speaker 1>the subject of Guyana, I had an uncle who also

876
00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:26.599
<v Speaker 1>very spiritual gifted, and his in laws were in Guyana

877
00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:33.199
<v Speaker 1>and they invited him to Guyana. And they were Collie devotees, right,

878
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:35.480
<v Speaker 1>but they were they were doing the black magic Collie

879
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:39.719
<v Speaker 1>and they would they were keeping them up every night.

880
00:53:39.800 --> 00:53:41.920
<v Speaker 1>They were just keeping them up. He just wasn't able

881
00:53:41.960 --> 00:53:43.320
<v Speaker 1>to go to sleep, and you know, to try to

882
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:45.480
<v Speaker 1>go to sleep ute and then they would take them

883
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to these Collie pooges and offerings and whatnot. And after

884
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a while he realized something's wrong. So I'm not sleeping,

885
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:55.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm on edge. Let me get out of here. And

886
00:53:55.079 --> 00:53:58.360
<v Speaker 1>then when he went back to Trinidad, he was on

887
00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:03.239
<v Speaker 1>the Christian side, so the priest came, you know, they

888
00:54:03.239 --> 00:54:07.440
<v Speaker 1>did exorcism on him, and my cousins were on the

889
00:54:07.559 --> 00:54:10.559
<v Speaker 1>road and they were like they were just seeing like

890
00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:14.159
<v Speaker 1>spirits coming out of my uncle, like and they counted

891
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:17.559
<v Speaker 1>like twenty one, like you know, you've seen shadows, You've

892
00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:21.559
<v Speaker 1>seen like light bulbs, and yeah, I just wanted to

893
00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:24.800
<v Speaker 1>tell another Colligue story on, you know, on the darker side,

894
00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:28.519
<v Speaker 1>because there's a lot of black magic, and Guyana is

895
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:32.599
<v Speaker 1>known for the Collie magic and it's really powerful what

896
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:34.599
<v Speaker 1>they do, but they do a lot on the on

897
00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:38.119
<v Speaker 1>the black magic side. So I thought that was a

898
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:39.840
<v Speaker 1>very interesting connection there.

899
00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:46.559
<v Speaker 3>But let's touch on Sorry I didn't know, but I

900
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:48.800
<v Speaker 3>want to touch on our Lady of Saparia. I'm not

901
00:54:48.840 --> 00:54:50.800
<v Speaker 3>sure if you're familiar with that story, but I think

902
00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:55.599
<v Speaker 3>it's a very illustrative and really important and interesting shrine.

903
00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:58.400
<v Speaker 3>So it is one of the only black madonnas of

904
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:02.559
<v Speaker 3>the Americas. Trinidad. It's at a small church called Our

905
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:06.639
<v Speaker 3>Lady of Saparia, but she has another name, SAPARi Ma.

906
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.760
<v Speaker 3>So she is also considered an emanation of Collie, but

907
00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:14.280
<v Speaker 3>she's also considered an emanation of guan Yin, and she's

908
00:55:14.320 --> 00:55:18.440
<v Speaker 3>also considered a more comesticist figure among some of the

909
00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Obeya people or the Shango people who also visit the shrine.

910
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:28.000
<v Speaker 3>So you have Catholics, ostensibly Taoist ethnic Chinese people, you

911
00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:31.920
<v Speaker 3>have Obeya people, and you have Hindus, all worshiping the

912
00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:35.239
<v Speaker 3>same figure. And they all have slightly different names, but

913
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:39.440
<v Speaker 3>interrelated names. And it is supposedly the Sight of Miracles,

914
00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:45.239
<v Speaker 3>and it is the statue is supposedly self arising, as

915
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:48.519
<v Speaker 3>they found it miraculously in a cave and a mountain,

916
00:55:48.880 --> 00:55:51.599
<v Speaker 3>is how I believe it's I remember, or it came

917
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:53.840
<v Speaker 3>from the ocean. I can't remember the exact story, but

918
00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:56.719
<v Speaker 3>it's one of the two. So I think she's really interesting,

919
00:55:56.760 --> 00:56:01.199
<v Speaker 3>and she is very dark skinned. Among the marys so

920
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:06.119
<v Speaker 3>and like visibly ethnic, but not it's not black. It's

921
00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:09.000
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of like a black Madonna thing. So I

922
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:09.960
<v Speaker 3>don't know, it's interesting.

923
00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely interesting connection with with the Black Madonna. So

924
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:23.199
<v Speaker 1>I think it's only fair we touch base with with

925
00:56:23.239 --> 00:56:26.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the other islands I'm not too familiar with with,

926
00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:29.920
<v Speaker 1>like Voodoo, are you guys, Do you guys know much

927
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:32.440
<v Speaker 1>anything that you guys want to share about Voodoo before

928
00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I just give some information.

929
00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:37.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll do a little thing about voodoo. I think

930
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:41.480
<v Speaker 3>it's I think there's a well, we've talked about it

931
00:56:41.519 --> 00:56:44.239
<v Speaker 3>a little bit with JJ and Nick and on some

932
00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:46.400
<v Speaker 3>of the other shows, and that's certainly the show on

933
00:56:46.559 --> 00:56:50.679
<v Speaker 3>the Lawrence Company. But I think voodoo people tend to

934
00:56:50.800 --> 00:56:55.000
<v Speaker 3>think that it's all over the islands, whereas Voodoo is

935
00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:59.039
<v Speaker 3>much more localized. Like, yes, there's influences obviously Puerto Rico,

936
00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the men can Republic all that, but I think that

937
00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:05.599
<v Speaker 3>it's much more focused on Haiti and then obviously cute

938
00:57:06.119 --> 00:57:10.239
<v Speaker 3>Miami and New York because of the diaspora. So but

939
00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:13.280
<v Speaker 3>I think voodoo is interesting. I think that what you

940
00:57:13.320 --> 00:57:17.239
<v Speaker 3>said about the Shanngo, they remind me a lot of Zoroastrianism,

941
00:57:17.519 --> 00:57:19.840
<v Speaker 3>so I've always found that very interesting. They focus on

942
00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:23.079
<v Speaker 3>the seven main or Risha's the seven sort of like

943
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:26.880
<v Speaker 3>rays of the One God. Something interesting about that. And

944
00:57:26.960 --> 00:57:31.199
<v Speaker 3>then but then to tie it into voodoo, well, Voodoo

945
00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:36.400
<v Speaker 3>is obviously slightly different than Santoria because it comes from

946
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:39.440
<v Speaker 3>two different places in Africa. Voodoo has more of a

947
00:57:39.519 --> 00:57:43.559
<v Speaker 3>Dahomeian origin, and they say that Sanuria has more of

948
00:57:43.559 --> 00:57:46.599
<v Speaker 3>a Yorubin origin. But I think that you can make

949
00:57:46.639 --> 00:57:49.400
<v Speaker 3>a case also that it's a lot more intermixed, and

950
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:52.320
<v Speaker 3>a lot more indigenous, and a lot more European. It's

951
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.679
<v Speaker 3>sort of all three things at the same time. That's

952
00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:59.760
<v Speaker 3>my opinion. So voodoo is no real difference than maybe

953
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:04.280
<v Speaker 3>like seventeenth century masonry with like some hellfire rights. They

954
00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:07.119
<v Speaker 3>just you know, it just looks a little different, but

955
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:11.239
<v Speaker 3>it's there. I think there's something that is understandable and

956
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:17.039
<v Speaker 3>very I think it influenced a lot of people, as

957
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:19.360
<v Speaker 3>I've referenced on the show, like before, like the Haitian

958
00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:24.440
<v Speaker 3>the Gnostic Haitian Gnostic Handbook by Michael Burtio that was

959
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:27.440
<v Speaker 3>one of my first like left handed grimars I ever read.

960
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:30.159
<v Speaker 3>And he he I don't know if he's really into

961
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:33.519
<v Speaker 3>voodoo or what the whole weird Covin was doing, but

962
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:37.239
<v Speaker 3>he's definitely drawing ideas. So I think that there are

963
00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:39.679
<v Speaker 3>some like really interesting ideas with the sigils. I know

964
00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:42.920
<v Speaker 3>you brought that up up, Starr, and so yeah, I'll

965
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:43.480
<v Speaker 3>let you go.

966
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, No, I don't be sorry. I was great, great

967
00:58:46.880 --> 00:58:52.840
<v Speaker 1>feedback that you shared, a great breakdown and introduction. I

968
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:58.320
<v Speaker 1>just and I'll build upon that. There's the visual symbols

969
00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of voodoo. I hope I'm pronouncing is a vivi or VeVe,

970
00:59:02.440 --> 00:59:08.559
<v Speaker 1>the the visual symbols, and just to to expand upon

971
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:13.280
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying with the European influence, I found this,

972
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:19.599
<v Speaker 1>this this nugget really interesting. I was researching Martinize de Pascuale,

973
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:24.679
<v Speaker 1>who is an early Martinist, and uh, he started Lewis

974
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Cohen's which was the Order of Knight Masons, the elect

975
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:33.039
<v Speaker 1>priests of the universe. So they were known for doing

976
00:59:33.199 --> 00:59:38.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ritual work, a lot like daily hours

977
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:44.519
<v Speaker 1>and hours of ritual work, really heavy stuff. And Martiniz

978
00:59:44.639 --> 00:59:49.039
<v Speaker 1>de Pasqually he died. I think he died in Hispaniola,

979
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.679
<v Speaker 1>an island between Cuban and Puerto Rico, the Greater Antilles

980
00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:55.159
<v Speaker 1>of the Caribbean. I'm not sure, but somewhere somewhere around there.

981
00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:57.599
<v Speaker 1>I always found it interest in that, you know, he

982
00:59:57.960 --> 01:00:02.239
<v Speaker 1>passed away over there, and after that, the Lewis Cohen

983
01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:06.199
<v Speaker 1>tradition just fell apart, and you know, they didn't have

984
01:00:06.239 --> 01:00:09.679
<v Speaker 1>all the information, they weren't initiated into the high rights.

985
01:00:11.119 --> 01:00:16.159
<v Speaker 1>Fast forward to the present time, there was a little

986
01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:22.079
<v Speaker 1>rebirth with this movement with the OMS. It was a

987
01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Martinist group, and there was this really interesting blog called

988
01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the Three Luminaries. It was one of the one of

989
01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>the writers was Paul Edward Rana. Very interesting character. I've

990
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:42.519
<v Speaker 1>seen his interviews, and really upstanding gentleman he had. He

991
01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>was really really brilliant mind, he was dedicated, he was

992
01:00:47.519 --> 01:00:51.599
<v Speaker 1>well loved. And he passed away in twenty twenty three.

993
01:00:52.119 --> 01:00:57.679
<v Speaker 1>It was a suicide, self inflicted gunshot. Won't they say

994
01:00:57.719 --> 01:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>it was an accident. You know, he's just playing around.

995
01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:04.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the details, but I bring that up

996
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:10.039
<v Speaker 1>because he towards the end he went full Christian and

997
01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>he left the OMS and the Martinist teachings and all

998
01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:18.159
<v Speaker 1>occult work, all that ritual work aside, and on the

999
01:01:18.159 --> 01:01:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Three Luminaries, he talked about his journey and that you know,

1000
01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:27.960
<v Speaker 1>he researched, you know, the symbolism and he found that,

1001
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was not a fan of Martinise the

1002
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Pasquali at the end, and he compared some of the

1003
01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:37.199
<v Speaker 1>higher teachings that they had, you know, evidence of, like

1004
01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the vevet, the visual symbols of voodoo. So I thought

1005
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>that was a really interesting connection between you know, you know,

1006
01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>European tradition in the West Indian tradition, how much influenced

1007
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the islands had on Europe at the time, the seventeen hundreds,

1008
01:01:55.840 --> 01:01:58.599
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, this is just that was a very interesting

1009
01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>rabbit hole going down. Does anyone know anything about any

1010
01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>of little subjects that they want to?

1011
01:02:05.280 --> 01:02:07.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've heard of Martinism before, but I had

1012
01:02:07.159 --> 01:02:11.039
<v Speaker 2>no idea that any of that was. I didn't know

1013
01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:12.519
<v Speaker 2>anybody who was in it, but I have heard of them.

1014
01:02:14.360 --> 01:02:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this makes a lot of This makes a lot

1015
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:20.320
<v Speaker 3>of sense to me. Sorry, nick uh This makes a

1016
01:02:20.360 --> 01:02:22.360
<v Speaker 3>lot of sense to me because of what we've been

1017
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:25.400
<v Speaker 3>talking about with Heidi. But then also because if you

1018
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:30.360
<v Speaker 3>look at the composition Anglophone islands are usually Anglican or

1019
01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:33.679
<v Speaker 3>like British colonial islands, right, so they would have the

1020
01:02:33.679 --> 01:02:37.079
<v Speaker 3>influence of the both the low and high Anglicanism. So

1021
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:41.440
<v Speaker 3>that would obviously affect the framework of the quote unquote

1022
01:02:41.440 --> 01:02:46.639
<v Speaker 3>folk magic in it. So like Haiti, it's French Catholic ostensibly,

1023
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:50.519
<v Speaker 3>so you would use that Rosicrucian framework and or that

1024
01:02:50.599 --> 01:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>French blue pillar whatever that is. JJ's not here, I'm sorry,

1025
01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:59.440
<v Speaker 3>so but that blue pillar masonry, whatever the French people

1026
01:02:59.440 --> 01:03:01.960
<v Speaker 3>were doing, that's what they would use. So you can

1027
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:06.800
<v Speaker 3>tell there's like slight variations. And I don't know enough.

1028
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:10.239
<v Speaker 3>Excuse me, I don't know enough about the Martinists to

1029
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:14.360
<v Speaker 3>make like a even a couplistic judgment on like what

1030
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:16.719
<v Speaker 3>they were doing or what they were thinking about. But

1031
01:03:16.880 --> 01:03:19.840
<v Speaker 3>just from what I understand, it seems to be a

1032
01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:22.239
<v Speaker 3>lot more pervasive than I think a lot of people

1033
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:25.880
<v Speaker 3>talk about, and that it seems to be like an

1034
01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:30.039
<v Speaker 3>undercurrent within especially because we all speak English as our

1035
01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:34.519
<v Speaker 3>primary language, but in Anglophone occultism. That knowing that very

1036
01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:44.360
<v Speaker 3>few people do discuss Yeah.

1037
01:03:42.199 --> 01:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a great great Bill Dodge and so yeah, I

1038
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:50.079
<v Speaker 1>thought that was a very interesting connection. And just you know,

1039
01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know much about the voodoo tradition, but it

1040
01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>seems there's like a little resurgence of it because some

1041
01:03:57.320 --> 01:04:01.039
<v Speaker 1>parts of where I'm at, you know, near the water,

1042
01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>I'll be driving by around you know, around the full

1043
01:04:04.239 --> 01:04:07.039
<v Speaker 1>moon or the new moon, I'm seeing you know, people

1044
01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:09.239
<v Speaker 1>in white in the water. You know, I don't know

1045
01:04:09.239 --> 01:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing, but yeah, they've actually found chickens and stuff,

1046
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>so I do know to do it. But yeah, there

1047
01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>seems to be a little resurgent, the resurgence of that,

1048
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>especially like you said, Miami is a big hub Los

1049
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Angeles and New York. But what I learned also, there's

1050
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:31.119
<v Speaker 1>just so much ceremonial magic being done in the United

1051
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>States and it's related to voodoo.

1052
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I could talk.

1053
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>It was very interesting.

1054
01:04:36.639 --> 01:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>A lot of root work and a lot of incense,

1055
01:04:39.559 --> 01:04:42.719
<v Speaker 2>not even so much that like tinctures or you know,

1056
01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:46.000
<v Speaker 2>taking herbs and sticking them into like oils or whatever.

1057
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Basically root work kind of still the same thing that's

1058
01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>used a lot. Like I've even said myself, depending on

1059
01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:56.199
<v Speaker 2>like you know, because I was big into like you know,

1060
01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:01.079
<v Speaker 2>I guess I was into herbs and oil. There was

1061
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:06.760
<v Speaker 2>times where I would actually take voodoo, I guess recipes

1062
01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and incorporate that into my ceremonial magic, my rituals, even

1063
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>though I'm not necessarily practicing voodoo, if there was a

1064
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>way that I could look at it and align it

1065
01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:21.079
<v Speaker 2>with what I was aiming for, Like you know, if

1066
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:25.239
<v Speaker 2>I was using a certain sphere on the tree, if

1067
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:27.519
<v Speaker 2>I could figure out maybe if that kind of I

1068
01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:30.159
<v Speaker 2>might be using that same type of thing with these

1069
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:34.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, herbs and oils, I would incorporate maybe, like

1070
01:05:34.320 --> 01:05:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, something from voodoo, like a voodoo recipe in

1071
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>a sense for a spell. And I know a lot

1072
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:44.239
<v Speaker 2>of people that did that. There was I forgot the

1073
01:05:44.280 --> 01:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>name of it, but there was even like some book

1074
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:48.360
<v Speaker 2>that had like voodoo stuff like that, and it was

1075
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>kind of like real easy to read, that was like

1076
01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:55.559
<v Speaker 2>rather well known that went around the magical community. People

1077
01:05:55.599 --> 01:05:59.440
<v Speaker 2>would use the spells and stuff. But like again, I mean, yeah,

1078
01:05:59.440 --> 01:06:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess you if you're a thlemic magician, you're gonna

1079
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:05.599
<v Speaker 2>look at different practices and I'll try to figure out

1080
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a way to I guess align it kabbalistically to use

1081
01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>it yourself. So but I did that with voodoo at times.

1082
01:06:11.960 --> 01:06:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Long story short and I know plenty of people who

1083
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:17.119
<v Speaker 2>have And another thing, you know, I did want to

1084
01:06:17.159 --> 01:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>bring up. Maybe we can end with this question, hopefully.

1085
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:21.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's kind of a deep question, but maybe

1086
01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:25.599
<v Speaker 2>we can, you know, summarize it rather quick. Who do

1087
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:28.119
<v Speaker 2>and voodoo? I don't know if we do we I

1088
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:30.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know if we kind of went on about this

1089
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:32.280
<v Speaker 2>in the first one, but like, what would be the

1090
01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>difference to you, Absidiarian, because in my opinion, I have

1091
01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>heard that there's differences in it, and that I do

1092
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:42.239
<v Speaker 2>think that the kind of is as well. I do

1093
01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:44.239
<v Speaker 2>think that one of them might actually hear more to

1094
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>a pantheon than the other one. What do you think, Absidarian?

1095
01:06:50.400 --> 01:06:52.639
<v Speaker 1>A very good question, if you don't mind me putting

1096
01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>on the spot that no, that's fine. I'm not too

1097
01:06:56.760 --> 01:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>familiar with Hulu, but I could still speak on it.

1098
01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:02.599
<v Speaker 1>I know voodoo the practice is you know, centered around

1099
01:07:02.719 --> 01:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the West African tradition. But from what I understand,

1100
01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:11.559
<v Speaker 1>who Doo is just decentralized. It has no organized priesthood

1101
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:15.519
<v Speaker 1>or structure, and it's like somewhat like a missmash of

1102
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:22.239
<v Speaker 1>different practices. But unfortunately, I really don't know much about it.

1103
01:07:22.880 --> 01:07:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Gotcha.

1104
01:07:23.440 --> 01:07:23.599
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1105
01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Actually that's one thing it was. I was correct on

1106
01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the Vodo book. But there's one thing that I will

1107
01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:29.519
<v Speaker 2>say is that most of the stuff actually that I

1108
01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>did use probably would have fell into whodoo tell you

1109
01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>the truth? Uh? But jin you got any you got

1110
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>any ideas on that?

1111
01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I'll try and keep it concise, boss uh Uh?

1112
01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Who Do is basically American South. Yes, there is an

1113
01:07:46.960 --> 01:07:51.679
<v Speaker 3>overlapping influence but with voodoo. But voodoo is much more,

1114
01:07:51.719 --> 01:07:56.440
<v Speaker 3>as I said, localized to Haiti, and who Do also

1115
01:07:56.559 --> 01:08:00.159
<v Speaker 3>utilizes the Protestant exactly what we're talking about, like it

1116
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:04.840
<v Speaker 3>utilizes that Protestant idea. In fact, the movie there's a

1117
01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:08.079
<v Speaker 3>movie Skeleton Key. I think they remade it. I've never

1118
01:08:08.119 --> 01:08:11.760
<v Speaker 3>seen the remake, but there's an original, and I think

1119
01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:14.880
<v Speaker 3>it's a It might actually be like a triplet like

1120
01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:19.520
<v Speaker 3>remade three times. But anyways, there's one from the early

1121
01:08:19.560 --> 01:08:21.880
<v Speaker 3>two thousands. It has a lot of real who Do

1122
01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:24.479
<v Speaker 3>in it. If you're interested in how that works, I

1123
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:26.399
<v Speaker 3>suggest you go watch that movie. There is E've been

1124
01:08:26.439 --> 01:08:31.119
<v Speaker 3>a Saint Expedite statue in that film that's very prominent.

1125
01:08:31.239 --> 01:08:36.039
<v Speaker 3>Saint Expedite's very important even among Protestant who do practitioners,

1126
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:39.880
<v Speaker 3>so because he can represent a crossroads man in some

1127
01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:43.239
<v Speaker 3>ways of thinking. So that's that, And so who do

1128
01:08:43.439 --> 01:08:48.920
<v Speaker 3>utilizes basically everything. The people who were running what they

1129
01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:51.960
<v Speaker 3>would call pharmacies in the nineteen forties were all Jewish,

1130
01:08:52.119 --> 01:08:56.880
<v Speaker 3>so then they started incorporating not just root work, but

1131
01:08:56.960 --> 01:09:03.199
<v Speaker 3>they started incorporating like psalms, kabbala, the Anarriva books, all

1132
01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:06.000
<v Speaker 3>of that. Taro like it just is that's it sort

1133
01:09:06.039 --> 01:09:09.720
<v Speaker 3>of was the genesis of what root work has become now.

1134
01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:13.840
<v Speaker 3>So that's that was That's kind of like Obeyah, it's

1135
01:09:13.920 --> 01:09:16.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of like Jamaican kind of magic, Like there is

1136
01:09:16.920 --> 01:09:20.199
<v Speaker 3>a Congolese element. There's an element of like working with

1137
01:09:20.279 --> 01:09:24.520
<v Speaker 3>the dead, spirits of the dead, controlling ghosts, maybe not

1138
01:09:24.680 --> 01:09:27.560
<v Speaker 3>to the same ritual degree. I know, you guys did

1139
01:09:27.560 --> 01:09:32.800
<v Speaker 3>the show on Adelfo Stanzo I want to call him, yes, okay, yes,

1140
01:09:33.800 --> 01:09:38.800
<v Speaker 3>So that so that there's an element of what as

1141
01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:40.560
<v Speaker 3>him as like whatever I know he was like a

1142
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Satanist or whatever, but like the whatever Polaro he said

1143
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:46.560
<v Speaker 3>he was doing, there's an element of that that is

1144
01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:50.720
<v Speaker 3>somewhat similar to what they are doing in Obea sometimes

1145
01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:54.520
<v Speaker 3>and who do sometimes, but maybe not to the advanced,

1146
01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:57.359
<v Speaker 3>like I don't think that they've maintained the tradition. It's

1147
01:09:57.359 --> 01:10:01.239
<v Speaker 3>not like some pristine African idea. So it's like a

1148
01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:03.479
<v Speaker 3>little degrade, it's a little more black magic. It's a

1149
01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:06.159
<v Speaker 3>little folk magic y that's not matter, that's not not

1150
01:10:06.239 --> 01:10:09.319
<v Speaker 3>any in judgment. So then voodoo is just adheres to

1151
01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:13.239
<v Speaker 3>the strict Maybe the cosmology is stricter. So there's one

1152
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:20.560
<v Speaker 3>God though it is monotheistic, but he's unseen unheard. I

1153
01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:22.920
<v Speaker 3>think that's a big part of it, and he can

1154
01:10:22.960 --> 01:10:26.760
<v Speaker 3>only really be expressed in the trinitarian idea, so like

1155
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:31.079
<v Speaker 3>the triangle with eye. And then then his main emanation

1156
01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:33.920
<v Speaker 3>on earth is don Balah. So if you've seen Chucky,

1157
01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:37.960
<v Speaker 3>you've heard that Dambala does not do that. In fact,

1158
01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:42.359
<v Speaker 3>he does not grant gross magical powers. It's for healing

1159
01:10:42.560 --> 01:10:46.920
<v Speaker 3>and great works I guess in the world like very powerful.

1160
01:10:46.920 --> 01:10:51.159
<v Speaker 3>So in different houses syncretize saints differently. So I know

1161
01:10:51.239 --> 01:10:55.279
<v Speaker 3>this has been a lot people get very bothered by

1162
01:10:55.319 --> 01:10:59.399
<v Speaker 3>the syncretism. But the syncretism to me actually follows quite

1163
01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:02.479
<v Speaker 3>a logical pattern for the most part, Like why you

1164
01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:06.760
<v Speaker 3>would align certain saints with certain spirits, and it's not

1165
01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:09.520
<v Speaker 3>really a mask or a cover I think it actually

1166
01:11:09.560 --> 01:11:12.159
<v Speaker 3>relates a lot more to the co holistic ideas or

1167
01:11:12.279 --> 01:11:16.199
<v Speaker 3>to the yeah, metaphysics of the actual spirit rather than

1168
01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:18.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's a cover up. I think it's

1169
01:11:18.720 --> 01:11:22.800
<v Speaker 3>just using something. Yeah, you're exactly hermatic principles.

1170
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you're pulling, You're pulling different ideas to represent the

1171
01:11:26.119 --> 01:11:29.680
<v Speaker 2>same thing. You know, one thing I was thinking that

1172
01:11:29.760 --> 01:11:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I did even want to add to maybe in a

1173
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>way that I should have said before, with the hoodoo

1174
01:11:33.800 --> 01:11:38.119
<v Speaker 2>and vudu, I think more or less like the way

1175
01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:40.079
<v Speaker 2>I looked at it is that let's say I was

1176
01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>like I used like, you know, some root resimee, and

1177
01:11:42.359 --> 01:11:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I was putting you know, herbs and oils and all

1178
01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>this stuff in there for some purpose. You know, I

1179
01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>would voodoo. I'd be using it specifically let's say, Papa Legua,

1180
01:11:54.239 --> 01:11:55.840
<v Speaker 2>But now I'm going to use it for like Elo

1181
01:11:55.960 --> 01:11:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Him's mouth. So now it's like, you know, now it's

1182
01:11:58.520 --> 01:12:01.800
<v Speaker 2>like probably hudoo because it's that being specific to a pantheon,

1183
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:04.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. But you're still trying to

1184
01:12:04.600 --> 01:12:07.439
<v Speaker 2>use that idea. You think like that could even be

1185
01:12:07.479 --> 01:12:10.279
<v Speaker 2>like another way to maybe explain the differences. It's more

1186
01:12:10.279 --> 01:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>of like maybe like the magical practice and an actual

1187
01:12:13.399 --> 01:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>set to those gods. I don't know.

1188
01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:20.960
<v Speaker 3>No, I agree with that, and I attributed l ab

1189
01:12:21.039 --> 01:12:24.239
<v Speaker 3>to him, So that's really funny that you say that. NH,

1190
01:12:24.399 --> 01:12:28.840
<v Speaker 3>but no, I agree.

1191
01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:32.399
<v Speaker 2>All right, Uh, I think we'll wrap it up here.

1192
01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:34.640
<v Speaker 2>I think we got a lot in and plus a

1193
01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:38.279
<v Speaker 2>man's gotta go. It's got important places to be. So

1194
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:41.079
<v Speaker 2>thank you for Absidarian for even squeezing in the time.

01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you joining us tonight. Goodness, yes, yes, and Absdiari

1205
01:13:17.039 --> 01:13:20.119
<v Speaker 2>please let all the listeners know where they can find

1206
01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:20.479
<v Speaker 2>your work.

1207
01:13:21.680 --> 01:13:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, thank you. I got a minute or two real quick.

1208
01:13:23.720 --> 01:13:26.119
<v Speaker 1>But I'm glad you mentioned Papa Legba because I did

1209
01:13:26.159 --> 01:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>want to speak about him because it's a really interesting

1210
01:13:29.000 --> 01:13:33.039
<v Speaker 1>theme to me. Well, first off, for the listeners, in Voodoo,

1211
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:38.560
<v Speaker 1>the loas are the major divine beings, intermediaries between man

1212
01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the all the realm. So Papa Legba

1213
01:13:42.960 --> 01:13:46.279
<v Speaker 1>is the loa associated with the crossroads. He serves as

1214
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>an intermediary between man and the spirit world. So this

1215
01:13:49.640 --> 01:13:53.239
<v Speaker 1>is the reminds me of Hermes right, and also in Obia,

1216
01:13:53.520 --> 01:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>the obia man, the medicine man is you know, a

1217
01:13:55.520 --> 01:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>bridge between the spiritual and physical realms. And in Hinduism

1218
01:13:59.680 --> 01:14:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you have Gannesh, which is the mercury archetype, and in

1219
01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Hindu rituals it's usually you start with with Ganesh to

1220
01:14:06.880 --> 01:14:09.720
<v Speaker 1>open things up. So I think that's a really good

1221
01:14:09.760 --> 01:14:13.279
<v Speaker 1>connection there, and you know deals with hermetic principles, so

1222
01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:17.359
<v Speaker 1>really interesting themes how to bridge the physical and spiritual.

1223
01:14:18.319 --> 01:14:21.119
<v Speaker 1>So I'll leave it at that. Thank you everyone for

1224
01:14:21.159 --> 01:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>having me on again. You can find me on link

1225

<v Speaker 1>tree at Absidarian Peace Liesome.

1226
01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, Absidaria. To just to even add

1227
01:14:30.199 --> 01:14:33.920
<v Speaker 2>to that, the way you explained Papa Legba, I even

1228
01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:37.399
<v Speaker 2>chose Elohim's mouth because he falls on a hode, which

1229
01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:40.279
<v Speaker 2>would be where Mercury and Hermes and Toath and the

1230
01:14:40.319 --> 01:14:43.079
<v Speaker 2>messages of the gods would fall, so there was even

1231
01:14:43.079 --> 01:14:49.800
<v Speaker 2>a correlation there. Thank you very much. I appreciate it again. Yeah,
