I encountered Michael’s work online through the magic of substack, but I already had one of his books on my shelf. He’s a writer, musician, farmer, teacher, and probably several more professions that didn’t get named.
This was a fun conversational tour, which started with the question: When did you start to notice that people were under a spell? It’s a little variation on the question that drives this podcast, which is: When did you first start to see the edges of the matrix/ narrative / pattern?
We talked about the magical spells of influence, propaganda, and the archons, mediumship, and then had a very nice interlude of current astrological conditions. (Recording date was February 6; the flurry of life had me delayed in posting!)
A note about mediumship and channeling: there’s long been a warning against playing around with mediumship because it can be a situation where another being enters one’s body and pushes out the human being. This is understood to happen most strongly through trance, where the human has no memory or consciousness of what has transpired. What we discussed was a “lighter” form of this sort of channeling, where a human is still semi-conscious, but also—as is the primary topic of discussion—appears under a spell.
The word archons comes from the Greek, translated as rulers, and is used in the famous and time-appropriate verse Ephesians 6:12. The Greek interlinear is pictured below.
