Catch me on The Astrology Podcast!
Meeting the great Chris Brennan with my colleague Drew Levanti, and nerding out about the relationship between ancient Orphism and early Hellenistic astrologyl.
Ever since I first started noticing esoteric language and astrological references in the Orphic Hymns, it’s been a dream of mine to nerd out with the legendary Chris Brennan on this topic. (IYKYK) Well, I finally got the chance to do exactly that—-and even better, my colleague and co-teacher Drew Levanti was present too! (More on Drew and Chris.)
The result was simply spectacular—beyond my wildest dreams, really. As a result of the stimulating questions put to us, and the beautiful combination of our geeky obsessions, this is the single best overview I’ve given so far on how the Orphic Hymns can teach us about origins of astrology, as well as the generative nature of magical language.
So buckle up and listen in! It’s all FREE and there are both audio (Podcast) and video (Youtube) versions available.

I can’t say enough about my brilliant interlocutors in this conversation. Together we’re building a new understanding of the origins of Hellenistic astrology that links it to extremely ancient Mediterranean animist astral traditions. So exciting!!!
ENJOY!!!
This discussion was inspiring! Powerful enough to spark a precog dream [note, I hadn't listened yet!] where you two showed up and asked me why I wasn't in the STAR class. I've signed up, of course. Thank you for your passion in the Hymns.
