The Whole Rabbit
Luke Madrid
The weekly occult podcast diving into the deep end of mythology, high-strangeness and religion. A show for seekers upon the path and wanderers of the outer abyss. Where others stay surface level, we go deep into the rabbit holes of demonolatry, chaos magick, gnosticism Thelema, Aleister Crowley, fallen angels, the ars goetia, MKULTRA, the black cross of Saturn and of course Ancient Egypt.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu, Part 1
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we discuss a spiritual text which helped bring peace to centuries of non-stop conflict only centuries later to introduce the wider world to its first taste of Taoist philosophy and make corporate ladder climbers even more insufferable than they were before; The Art of War by Sun Tzu. In this first half of the episode we unveil the historical mystery of the text’s author Sun Tzu; was he man or myth? Before wrapping up we begin discussing the first few chapters of The Art of War, how some of these strategies were used in real life wars and what has to do with the five elements. In the extended show we take a further look at The Art of War’s relationship to Taoism before exploring how a number of Sun Tzu’s tips can be used, what it has to do with Game Theory and some colorful examples of how Sun Tzu’s methods were used in combat during Vietnam and World War 2.

Dark City: A Gnostic Allegory
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week’s episode sees us dust off the old VHS copy of the late 90s gnostic science fiction classic “Dark City,” written and directed by Alex Proyas. This is what your mom was talking about when you told her you wanted to see ‘The Matrix’ but she said “No, we have it at home,” with some scenes almost matching shot for shot visually. Perhaps more remarkably is how Dark City tackles similar themes on loan from ancient gnostic philosophy but does so in a way faithful to its science fiction roots in German expressionism where it finds inspiration in the fertile imaginations of Fritz Lang and Albin Grau, the creators of Metropolis and Nosferatu respectively. The result is a film which beneath its slick, noir surface is a thoughtful meditation on the dark side of spirituality, evolution and the destiny of the human soul. In the first half of the show we discuss some of the occult roots of the science fiction genre itself and what it has to do with the Aeon of Horus championed by Aleister Crowley before cutting into the dense symbolism in the film’s opening using the Tarot as our guide. In the extended show we visit the abode of Netzach and go deeper into Greek and even Hindu mythology to unpack some of the symbolism used in the film before discussing the overlap between The Strangers and their shadowy, real-life counterparts who manipulate our destiny from the circles beyond time. We hope you brought your Kabbalah glasses because we’ll be talking shop in this one. Thank you and enjoy the show!

How To Find Hollow Earth (True Stories of Subterranean Cities)
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! This week’s episode was almost canceled due to complications with the wildfires here in California. Malachor, for instance, has been without power, battling to protect his home and preparing for evacuation if necessary. As such, we interrupt our normal programming to bring you some interesting and supposedly true stories we discovered while researching for the Shaver Mystery. (If you’d like to check out where these essays are compiled, along with many others check out Flying Ships, Humanoids, and Creatures of the Subterranean World by Gray Barker.) What follows are fantastic accounts of those who were lucky enough to slip between the cracks of the earth and catch a glimpse of the world below our feet; a heavenly world, lush with plant life and filled with vital energy - a forgotten land populated by a race of high tech giants who filled such abundant lands with marvelous, subterranean cities bustling with life. How might we find them? Who are they and what do they want with us? Keep listening to find out! Thank you and enjoy the show... Listen to the extended version of this episode FOR FREE here!

The Shaver Mystery: Hollow Earth, Elder Gods and the Lost Kingdom of Lemuria
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we go so far down the rabbit hole that we encounter the mutated denizens of a lost race descended from Atlantean giants because this week we’re exploring the science-fiction world of Richard Sharp Shaver who, of all things, claimed these stories were none other than historical fact! Published in Amazing Stories Magazine in the 1940s with the help of editor Robert Palmer the Shaver Mystery took the world by storm and laid the foundation for UFOlogy and conspiracy culture that endures today. In the first half of the show we discuss Richard Shaver’s theophany of the lusty swamp witch, Nydia and how he came to know firsthand the denizens of the underworld. We also take a look at the ancient space language, a galactic commons of sorts that Shaver introduced to us and begin exploring the colorful details as they are described in his first published story “I Remember Lemuria.” In the extended episode we go further down the Shaver Rabbit Hole (that sounds pornographic somehow) and get into the vast menagerie of human alien animal hybrids that our ancient alien overlords created in their laboratories and populate the many worlds in space. We discuss the radioactive influence of the sun, megalithic monuments that still exist today and the origin of the devilish Dero who control the human elite from their high-tech machines far below the Earth’s surface.
