The Green Man was invented in 1939. Not the carvings. Those are real, medieval, and have a fascinating Christian history. But the god, the named figure currently worshipped across contemporary Paganism as an ancient vegetation deity, was assembled in the twentieth century from a misread folklore article, a collapsed witch-cult theory, and a Jungian response to ecological anxiety. This video tells that story properly, with the scholarship, the primary sources, and the reception history. No gatekeeping, no debunking energy. Just the real genealogy of a god we made ourselves. ➡️https://youtu.be/Ol8hTda6FtI #greenman #cernunnos #herne
Alchemy is far more than the myth of turning lead into gold. In this video, I explore how alchemy developed across Hellenistic Egypt, China, India, the Islamic world, and Europe as a rich tradition that united experiment, medicine, cosmology, and spiritual transformation. We look at major alchemical ideas, key historical figures, and the practices that shaped both occult traditions and the emergence of modern chemistry. My new episode examines the major scholarly debates around alchemy, showing why historians no longer see it simply as failed science or pure mysticism, but as a complex way of understanding matter, knowledge, and the transformation of the self. ➡️https://youtu.be/AKh4KS_tnVc #alchemy #alchemical #alchemical

My heart is full after Hermeneia 2026 in London, an event I shared with my lovely friends Dr Jenny Butler, Dr Justin Sledge and Marco Visconti. Thank you to Marco for organising and to all the kind souls who booked and attended the event. Hopefully, more live events will follow.
Loved being at Treadwell’s Books today as soon as I arrived in London. Tomorrow I will see you at 11 am at Swedenborg House for Hermēneia 2026, and I look forward to seeing all of you who secured a ticket. I will be with Dr Justin Sledge, Dr Jenny Butler, and Marco Visconti. The event is fully sold out and the waiting list is now closed, but the conversation continues afterwards. We will be meeting informally at The Fitzroy Tavern in Bloomsbury from 6pm. NO TICKET is needed, just come along for a drink, a chat, and good conversation.
What if everything you thought you knew about Solomonic magic was wrong? In this video, I explore Gal Sofer’s groundbreaking study of Solomonic magic and why it changes the way we understand the Key of Solomon, the Goetia, and the wider grimoire tradition. Far from being a single, unified body of ancient magical wisdom, these texts emerge as a fluid network shaped by scribes, translations, and centuries of adaptation across Jewish, Christian, Arabic, Greek, and Latin traditions. We will look at the real history behind Solomonic texts, the myth of the “original” grimoire, the Jewish roots of demon-summoning traditions, and why this matters not only for scholars of Western esotericism but also for contemporary practitioners. If you are interested in grimoires, ceremonial magic, the Key of Solomon, the Lesser Key, or the history of Western occultism, this episode will give you a much deeper understanding of what is really at stake. 👉 https://youtu.be/fItSf7Amo3c #solomonicmagic #goetia #goetic #lesserkeyofsolomon
