À propos de cet audio

The weekly occult podcast diving into the deep end of mythology, high-strangeness and religion. A show for seekers upon the path and wanderers of the outer abyss. Where others stay surface level, we go deep into the rabbit holes of demonolatry, chaos magick, gnosticism Thelema, Aleister Crowley, fallen angels, the ars goetia, MKULTRA, the black cross of Saturn and of course Ancient Egypt.

  • The Egyptian Baphomet: The Ancient Goat of Mendes (Part 5)

    The Egyptian Baphomet: The Ancient Goat of Mendes (Part 5)
    Nov 7 2026
    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this episode we conjure Heka Astra to the microphone to share her one-of-a-kind personal research into the Baphomet as it is interpreted through the lens of ancient Khemetic spiritual tradition. By going down the ancient Egypt rabbit hole, a number of confusing puzzle pieces suddenly snap into place (as is usually the case when we look at Egyptian wisdom). Strangely, by taking Baphomet over to Egypt we arrive full circle at some traditional Christian mysteries in their prototypical form. Go figure. In the free side of the show we begin by discussing Banebjedet, the most obvious connection to the Baphomet, what the Ram represented in Egypt and what it has to do with the Ba soul -a soul whose name sounds eerily similar to the sound a ram makes. Perhaps I’m saying too much. Let Heka explain it. In the extended show we bring up the creator of humans, the potter named Knum who is so bible coded it’s kind of embarrassing. We also discuss the hidden one, Amun. Thank you and enjoy the show!In this week’s episode we discuss:Banebjedet, the Ram of MendesThe Ba SoulOsirisThe Djed PillarDifferences between SHEEPS and GOATS?Ram symbolismIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we discuss even further:Knum, the Creator DeityThe Devil of the TarotPanCorkscrew Horned SheepAmun, the HiddenLord of Two HornsWhere to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoThis episode was written and researched by the personal efforts of Heka Astra’s own scholarship.

    The Definitive Guide To The Baphomet: Simon Magus, The Head of John the Baptist and The Fall of Tracy Twyman (part 4)
    Oct 31 2026
    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we wrap up everything we’ve learned so far about the Baphomet and its history as an archetype through history, esotericism and conspiracy lore. In the free side of the show we finish our discussion about the heretical practices of the gnostics, investigate the claims of who or what’s decapitated head was supposedly worshipped by the Templars and their shadowy connections to Simon Magus. In the extended show we submit ourselves to the mighty gaze of Abraxas and discover what dirty laundry he shares with the fallen angel goat demon Azazel who also lurks behind this same constellation of mysteries. In the conclusion we examine the murky world of bloodline occultism that Tracy Twymann was investigating during her demise and how it sits in relation to the even murkier world of conspiracy that leads to the darkest places imaginable. In the next episode, we’ll be applying our own occult research (led by Heka Astra) to begin understanding in earnest what the Baphomet represents from a pre-Abrahamic perspective. Thank you and enjoy the show.On the free side of the show we discuss:Gnostic sects who thanked the serpent and treated the creator as the enemyThe whore-holy wisdom of Thunder, Perfect MindWhose head the Templars really kept on the altarSimon Magus, the ram swap, and the three-day risingLibertine rites and the New DionysusIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we continue further down the rabbit hole and discuss: Abraxas: the rooster-headed god Azoth, the A-to-Z universal fire of the AlchemistsAzazel’s garment swap, the scapegoat, and the Lilith-Samael unionCathar consolamentum and the Book of Baptism by FireTracy Twyman’s Dragon Court years and the end of the trail…Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoThis episode was researched greatly and written by Tim Hacker before it was re-written with various additions and rephrasing and shortenings by Luke Madrid with original commentary by Malachor 5, Mari Sama, Julian The Philosopher.Sources: Tracy R.

  • The Definitive Guide To The Baphomet: Islamic Hermes, Snake Worshippers and The Sister-Wife of Jesus (part 3)

    The Definitive Guide To The Baphomet: Islamic Hermes, Snake Worshippers and The Sister-Wife of Jesus (part 3)
    Oct 24 2026
    Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we break on through to part 3 of our totally exhaustive, in-depth guide to the Baphomet where we discover the Islamic version of our favorite Hermetic super heroes and the secret identity of Enoch who is mythologized as the first man to use writing, built the pyramids and preserved esoteric wisdom for the generations following the Great Flood. In the extended show, we do a detailed comparison between strange occult practices in various gnostic cults and trace how their mystic lineages overlapped and diverged from the rich tapestry of ancient Hermeticism as it evolved through the ages. By the end we begin to weave together a number of various threads which have only come up as puzzle pieces in former episodes. By the end of the series we promise to unveil in earnest the most authentic description of the Baphomet outside of an oath-bound secret organization and finally get to the bottom of what this figure really means. Thank you and enjoy the show!In the free show we discuss:-The three Hermeses of Abu Ma‘shar: before the Flood, after the Flood in Babylon, and later in Egypt-Hermes as Idris, and Idris as the Enoch who walked with God-The first man to use a pen, the pyramids at Akhmim, and the arts carved into stone so the survivors could read them-The Harranian Sabians, Sir Walter Scott’s theory, and Kevin van Bladel on the “religion of Hermes”-The Emerald Tablet, Apollonius of Tyana, and mercury as both sage and substance-The second Hermes who taught Pythagoras, and the third who wrote on venom and made glass-Asclepius, the wrong snake on the ambulance, and Plato’s Phaedrus on why the king rejected writing-Al-Mas‘udi, the Active Intellect, and al-Suhrawardi’s pillar of light-Poimandres, the Demiurge, and the question of whether Hermes is the apocryphal Enoch-Mount Hermon, the place of the curse, and the angels who made a pact-The Mandaeans, the Sabians of the Koran, and their baptism that sounds like the Baptism of Wisdom-John the Baptist as their prophet, and the door that opens onto SophiaIn the extended show available at www.Patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we continue by discussing:-Asclepius on men who are both mortal and immortal, and the knowledge that makes them akin to the gods-What Gnosticism actually is, the Nag Hammadi library, and why the Church Fathers only gave us the hit pieces-Robert M. Price, Carl Jung, and the argument over whether the word “Gnostic” should even exist-Pneumatic and hylic, the spark in the body, and Plato’s Timaeus on why even a good Demiurge builds shoddy copies-Sophia, Chokmah, the Shekinah, and Metatron-Simon Magus, the Naassenes, Irenaeus, and Clement’s attempt to reclaim the word-The Ophites who thanked the serpent for the fruit, and Jehovah as the craftsman who kept the tree locked-Marcion, Valentinus, the Sethians, the Borborites, and the Cainites-Sophia’s fall, Prunikos, and the erotic allegory of Ophite creation-Ialdabaoth, the Hebdomad, the serpent who is sometimes Christ and sometimes the liar-Adam, Eve, the transfer of the spark, and why some Gnostics still call the serpent evilWhere to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewholerabbit936Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitOrder Stickers: https://www.stickermule.com/thewholerabbitOther Merchandise: https://thewholerabbit.myspreadshop.com/Music By Spirit Travel Plaza:https://open.spotify.com/artist/30dW3WB1sYofnow7y3V0YoThis week’s episode was written by Tim Hacker with, help, revisions and research by Luke Madrid with additional commentary by Heka Astra, Mari Sama, Julian Solaninka and Malachor 5.BibliographyTracy R.
