"The Infinite and the Beyond" is an esoteric podcast for the introspective pagan mind where we explore and discuss a variety of topics which relate to life and one''s unique spiritual journey. Show topics center around paganism, the occult, parapsychology, science, society, and culture in the 21st century.
In the latest episode of The Infinite and the Beyond, we speak with author, teacher, and sorcerer Jason Miller about his work and his new book Financial Sorcery, magical strategies to create real and lasting wealth. In a Corner in the Occult we learn about the often over looked Illustrator of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, Pamela Colman Smith. We see who won a copy of Leslie Fish's album “Avalon is Risen” that was featured back in Episode #029. In the Essence of Magick, we learn about “symbols” and what role they play in the work of the magickal practitioner. And as a treat we get to hear some new music by Damh the Bard from his recent album “Antlered Crown and Standing Stone.” - Blessed Be!
