Re-visioning the Daimon: A Conversation w. Ike Baker & David Chaim Smith
David Chaim Smith and I have engaged in an ongoing series of public dialogues over the past year and a half which have attempted to reframe common tropes in Kabbalah, occultism, and related communities of study and practice. This conversation, one of the most meaningful we have had, seeks to identify the major conceptual misapprehensions that often inhibit entry into the more profound aspects of metaphysical practice. David Chaim Smith is internationally renowned for his work as an astral cartographer, Kabbalistic metaphysician, author, and teacher.
