Magical Egypt and The Legacy of John Anthony West | Chance Gardner and Vanese McNeil

Rune Soup

Chance Gardner and Vanese McNeil, producers of the legendary documentary series Magical Egypt, join the show this week.

We discuss

• Getting history right and wrong.
• The legacy of John Anthony West and R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz.
• Materialism and its impact on studying history.
• The latest series of Magical Egypt -which Gordon is in!

I mention at the outset that this episode was actually recorded six months ago. The plan was to release it at the same time as a video on hermeticism that I was going to shoot at an Ancient Egypt exhibition in Canberra (which is mentioned in my animism series). But that didn't happen, and then I thought I would do it at the Island of the Sun in Bolivia, and so on. Anyway, it's not six months later and I am choosing to blame the curse of the mummy, lol.

A super fun chat, nonetheless. And a real high point in my own life to actually be in the legendary Magical Egypt series myself.
