Topic: Gnostic Tarot

Miguel Conner previews his upcoming books, *The Occult Elvis* and a work on David Bowie, exploring the mystical lives of these cultural icons. He also mentions the release of the Gnostic Tarot and the Virtual Alexandria Academy. The segment concludes with a discussion on the suppression of the divine feminine, referencing Dr. Joanna Kutylo’s work on the Kundalini experience and the idea that controlling women is a prerequisite for controlling nature.

Peter Mark Adams provides updates on his research into the Sola Busca Tarot deck, noting a shift in his interpretation from Gnostic Christian to a purely Hellenistic perspective. He explains that the deck's metaphysics were intended to support legitimate power rather than being inherently evil. The discussion touches on the work of David Betts and Ludwig Klages' book, Cosmogonic Eros, regarding embodiment as a primary spiritual aim.

The Wheel of Fortune card in the Tarot represents the dark medieval concept of the three fates and the cycle of life. For those embedded in the material world, this cycle eventually leads to an end, but Gnostic perspectives suggest a reality beyond this circus. Referencing Carl Jung, the segment emphasizes knowing rather than merely believing in a higher spiritual state.
