Topic: Occulture

Greg Carlwood reflects on meeting Maja D'Aoust at the Astro Gnosis conference and discusses the logistical difficulties of hosting live events. He shares more details about his refusal to sign Hollywood contracts, including a pilot he filmed with Jay Dyer and Isaac Weishaupt titled Pop Occulture. He emphasizes his commitment to maintaining total independence for The Higher Side Chats despite the financial temptations of traditional media.

Author and anthropologist Carl Abrahamson joins the program to discuss his book, Occulture: The Unseen Forces That Drive Culture Forward. Abrahamson credits artist Genesis P-Orridge with coining the term "occulture," which represents the synthesis of the occult and mainstream culture. The discussion establishes that these two areas have historically coexisted and influenced one another despite the occult often being hidden or misunderstood.
