I have an upcoming live SKYPE interview on the Beyond Reality Radio show, March 27, 2017, 12:00 AM-2:00 AM EST.  The interview will be available for listening or for download shortly after the first airing of the show; it will appear in the show’s website archives and on YouTube.

Visit Beyond Reality Radio at http://beyondrealityradio.com/

My two hosts each have 25 + years of experience as radio personalities & are prominent in the field of the paranormal.  Jason Hawes is co-creator of the NBC/Syfy reality show Ghost Hunters & a NY Times Best Selling Author with 6 books to his credit.  JV Johnson is the owner and operator of LMGi Radio Group, promoter of SCARE-A-CON events and publisher/editor of TAPS ParaMagazine.

I am looking forward to having a fun, speculative chat with these intrepid adventurers into the unknown, the unusual &the strange - or, as I like to call it, Lovecraft country.

This Sunday, March 26., 2017,  my pre-recorded interview on The Paracast with Gene Steinberg & Christopher O'Brien will be telecast.   The Paracast is one of the longest running and most well-respected paranormal radio shows and has earned its title as “The Gold Standard of Paranormal Radio.”

The show runs on Sunday, March 26, 2017, 4:00 AM–7:00 AM Eastern Time on GCN Radio and Boost Radio Network; and Sunday at 10:00 PM Eastern on IRN Internet Radio Network (1:00 AM–4:00 AM Pacific, 3:00 AM–6:00 AM Central, and 09:00 UTC).

You will be able to find my interview on YouTube  as well.   Everything seems to find its way to YouTube eventually.

My short essay “Magickal & Virtual Egregores in the 21st Century." (March  20, 2017) can be read or downloaded now.  This essay examines the similarities and the differences between magickal egregores, i.e. entities created by magickal practitioners for various occult purposes, and virtual egregores, which are  created by software developers and gaming artists for entertainment purposes.

Earlier in March, I was a guest on Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole, hosted by Jason Colwell, 7:45 – 9 PM EST, March 7, 2017.  This interview is now available for listening or for download.

I recently published a short essay, " Magickal & Virtual Egregores in the 21st Century." (March  20, 2017)

"Magickal &Virtual Egregores in the 21st Century" examines the similarities and the differences between magickal egregores, i.e. entities created by magickal practitioners for various occult purposes, and virtual egregores, which are  created by software developers and gaming artists for entertainment purposes.

Both types of entities function as sources of information; pure information, in effect.   Magickal egregores are often used by magicians  to exchange information between the astral plane and the physical plane.  I would argue that virtual egregores can do likewise (or at least, they will be able to do this, once artificial intelligence is perfected.

Please check out the essay at the following link.

I also did an interview with Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole, hosted by Jason Colwell,  7:45 – 9 PM EST, March 7, 2017.  This interview is now available for listening or for download.

I have an upcoming SKYPE interview on the Deeper Down the Rabbit Hole.  The interview will take place on Tuesday night, March 7, 2017 from 7:45 – 9:00 PM EST. 

The interview will be available for listening or for download shortly after the first airing of the show; it will appear in the show’s website archives, on YouTube and other web locations.

The hosts Andrieh Vitimus, magickal practitioner for fifteen years and author of the influential book: Hands On Chaos Magic (Llewellyn) and Jason Colwell, instructor at the Quantum Life Science Institute in Ohio, push the envelope on every episode of their show on htp://www.para-x.com to determine “just how far the rabbit hole of reality and metaphysics really goes”, as they describe it. 

The show is focused on results driven magickal practices and active spirituality, with the important goal of bringing the occult arts to individuals who can then transform themselves and start making a difference in the workaday world.  I will, of course, be discussing my book H.P. Lovecraft & the Black Magickal Tradition (2015) and any other subjects that my hosts and their audience might want to discuss.  It will be a lot of fun, so please check it out!

The show can be reached via the website address: http://deeper-down-the-rabbit-hole.com/

Later in March, I will also be interviewed on the Mysterious Matters Cultural, Paranormal and Science Podcast, the date to be determined. The host of the show is Bob Bain and the show is produced in Nashville, TN. 

Mr. Bain is convinced (and rightly so) that there are invisible forces at play every day in our lives and that these “mysterious” forces can manipulate what we see, what we think and even what we achieve.

I agree, and I would further add that in the 21st century, contemporary physics is moving closer and closer to an accurate study of these mysterious forces.  But the invisible world isn’t really invisible; it is merely subatomic, part and parcel of the Quantum Universe.

I hope to have a nice, speculative discussion with Mr. Bain about all of these issues, as I discuss my book and my current and future projects.
