This program was rescheduled from 4/18/2013 when technical difficulties prevented the broadcast. Recent events and conversations with friends have brought to mind the sort of helplessness that many feel. Ideas like "The Secret" and the law of attraction have gotten a lot of attention, but they only tell part of the story.  The Law of Attraction is only one of the seven Hermetic Principals described in the Kybalion, a book that purports to describe the secrets of alchemy, transformation of the self and one's environment (which can include gold if you need that sort of thing).  Tonight Saul Ravencraft and David Marsh will discuss these ideas and how they can apply to your life whether you are a "magical practitioner" or not.  It's a wizard's rules for the road.

Jonathan Maxwell returns to the program to discuss what may be a very important and relevant topic for today. Many people on all sides of the political spectrum express a lot of fear and concern about what is happening in the world and they all have solutions.  Increasingly we hear words like "disenfranchised" as people feel that they are being overwhelmed by their opposition.  So far this has all been political and in the arena of ideas, but could it get worse?  Are our rights and freedoms going to be threatened beyond mere inconvenience?  In his book, Murderous Intellectuals: German Elites and the Nazi SS, Jonathan explored what made the atrocities of World War II possible.  We'll discuss the climate and realities of that time in relation to what is happening in society today, This will not be a show about politics, but a look at how humans can be transformed through their circumstances.  How do we prevent our own ideals from making us tolerant of dehumanizing those who oppose us and terrible things done f

Do you want to see something scary?  It seems that a lot of people who are interested in the strange, odd and unusual are also fans of horror, both classic and modern.  Our regular guest, Joseph Fotinos is an expert on both.  He portrayed horror host, Professor Griffin on the "Midnight Shadow Show".  It's always great to catch up with Joseph to reminisce about the glories of the past and the thrills in the future.

There's a little music and then it's all fixed. Author, Jeff Denelek, returns to the program to talk about something more personal: spirituality.

We’ll discuss the nature of these kinds of deceptions.  Are they always intentional?  What is “healthy skepticism”?  How do we pursue interests in the paranormal without becoming cynical about it?

Tune in with Saul Ravencraft and David Marsh for a discussion with hospice nurse, Becki Hawkins, on death and dying.  There is a lot of controversy about what causes hauntings.  One of the theories is that deaths that are violent or filled with fear create these circumstances.  With that in mind how people approach the end of their life and how we care for them in their final days should matter a great deal. Saul will discuss Becki’s experiences and thoughts on the matter.  Few of us see death in person.  This is an important episode that may change your views on some things.  It really brings it all down to the human issues.
