Topic: Scarlet Imprint

Esoteric scholar Peter Mark Adams joins the program to discuss his analysis of the Sola Busca Tarocchi, a 15th-century Renaissance relic currently housed in a Milan museum. His book, The Game of Saturn, explores the deck's connection to elite magical practices, dark pacts, and the "Capstone Cabal." The artifact is highlighted as a rare instance of an aristocratic magical heirloom entering the public sphere.

Adams emphasizes that in the 15th-century worldview, magical energies were viewed as having "agency" rather than being impersonal forces. This perspective changes how one interprets the deck's influence through history. Currently, Scarlet Imprint is producing a high-quality reproduction of the deck using imagery provided by the Brera Gallery, making the artifact accessible to modern researchers.

Adams reveals that during his research into the Sola Busca deck, he experienced intense energy that left him paralyzed for four days. He felt "led by the nose" to specific clues and texts despite not being a classical scholar. He directs listeners to Scarlet Imprint for the book and deck reproduction, and to his essays in the Paranthropology Journal for further reading on ritual and entities.

Carl Abrahamson provides his contact information and promotes his various projects, including his book Resonances and his work with the publisher Scarlet Imprint. He directs listeners to his Patreon and personal website for his blogging, record company, and filmmaking endeavors. Greg Carlwood praises the quality of Scarlet Imprint’s physical books in an era of throwaway digital culture.

In 2009, the Italian Ministry of Culture purchased the original Sola Busca deck for 800,000 euros, and it is now housed in the Brera Gallery in Milan. Scarlet Imprint is currently producing a high-quality reproduction of the deck using imagery provided by the gallery. This marks the first time in 500 years that a perfect reproduction of the artifact has been made available to the public.

The process of decoding the Sola Busca deck involved intense energetic experiences that felt like being led by an external force. Peter Mark Adams' research on ritual and entities is available through the Paranthropology journal and his Academia.edu page. The collaboration with Scarlet Imprint has resulted in a book and deck reproduction that preserves the artisanship and scholarly understanding of elite occult beliefs.

The host reflects on the intersection of simulation theory and astrology, noting the strange weather events and cryptid sightings following the eclipse path. A teaser for the "Plus" version of the show mentions upcoming discussions on NASA deceptions, the flat earth model, and the work of publisher Scarlet Imprint. The episode concludes with a preview of future topics including Chicago cryptid sightings and abductions.

The interview concludes with information on where to find Gordon White's work, specifically through the UK esoteric publisher Scarlet Imprint. White mentions his blog, Rune Soup, and his activity on Twitter as primary ways for listeners to engage with his research. Greg Carlwood praises White's approach as a "change of the guard" for ancient understanding and paranormal research.
