Intro to Aleister Crowley w/ Lon Milo Duquette
Lon Milo Duquette comes onto The Container to talk about Aleister Crowley, the central character of his new novel Young Aleister Crowley and the Magician’s Revolt. Aleister Crowley has been a brilliant yet controversial center of occult studies and practices for over 100 years. He gave us everything from Thelema to the Thoth Tarot, and his methods and insights continue to fascinate magical practitioners through generations. Who exactly was he and what makes him such a worthy figure of study in the 21st century? We cover all that and more. Lon Milo Duquette is a legend in the occult world in his own right, penning many of the defining classics of our era. He’s brought us clear explanations for some of the most esoteric magical systems and concepts, offering lucidity and spiritual rigor along with laugh out loud humor.

Make the Most of Ketamine Therapy w/ Anna Krishtal
Anna Krishtal is a ketamine coach and host of the Ketamine Connections podcast. She joins us to talk the ins and outs of ketamine, the compound at the forefront of the psychedelic renaissance. Ketamine is the leading chemical used in legal psychedelic therapy in the US, and it's widely considered as one of the most versatile, effective, and direct tools available to improve mental health. But as Anna emphasizes, getting the highest potential out of Ketamine requires intention going in and integration coming out. We get to all of it: the basics of Ketamine (like what it is and what it is like to take), how to make the most of your journey (the power of intention and integration), and how this drug has personally impacted Anna.

How Spirituality, Politics, and Philosophy Shape Reality w/ C. Derick Varn
C. Derick Varn is a poet, philosopher, and podcaster (among so much else). He comes on The Container to talk about how we make reality. Spoiler alert: it's a mixture of spirit, mind, history, politics, and so on. In particular, he helps us understand why the political left broke off from spirituality. We even talk a little bit about how to enchant the incredible theoretical work of Marx and those he later influenced. Varn gives us so much rich context to chew on. And we're even more excited because Varn is a long-time podcasting hero of Jonathan's, so that makes it all the more fun and rewarding.

Energy Healer on Your Hidden Abilities w/ Lubaina Choudhury
Lubaina Choudhury is a powerful energy healer with a hands-on, in-depth knowledge of how to care for and operate this magnificent human body. Her background is in Eastern traditions like yoga. But her mentor delivered high impact teachings from the Kabbalah, a fundamental force in Western Occultism. Now, she blends East and West (along with her own inherent gifts and honed skills) into a healing modality that far surpasses what we are told is possible. In this episode, she talks to us about her path and how her power to heal informs her view of the universe and daily life. We come away with a far richer understanding of how to inhabit this strange realm we call reality.
