In this episode, I speak with Coby Michael author of "The Poison Path Herbal." Coby explains what the poison path is, and the marginalized nature of both baneful herbs and those who have traditionally worked with them. He also discusses connections with hoodoo and rootwork, different ways of working with the plants, plants as a manifestation of the spirit realm, the alchemical nature of some of the plants, and why the poison path isn’t a dominant feature in Wicca despite being a part of traditional witchcraft.

In this episode, I am joined by Tamra Lucid, musician, riot girl, documentary producer and author of the recently published Making the Ordinary Extraordinary: My Seven Years in Occult Los Angeles with Many Palmer Hall. Along with talking about her experience with Manly Palmer Hall, Tamra discusses his wife Marie, who was a mystic and philosopher in her own right who had developed a map of consciousness, Tamra talks about the value of dusty old books, the importance of wisdom over smarts, and music as a metaphysical experiment. We also take a moment to reminisce about the dearly departed Bodhi Tree Bookstore in West Los Angles.

In this episode, I am joined by Paul Levy, author of several books including the recently published Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus that Plagues Our World. Paul discusses the nature of Wetiko as the psycho-spiritual disease that is at the root of a collective psychosis that is leading us down a path of ecocide and collective suicide. He touches upon Jung’s concept of the shadow, the shamanic archetype of the wounded healer, the path of the Bodhisattva, and the necessity of connecting with our creative nature and waking from the spell of separateness as the antidotes to the mind-virus of Wetiko, which he argues, is an ally to our collective awakening.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Tim Read, one of the directors of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy in the UK and co-editor of the recently published Psychedelics and Psychotherapy. Tim discusses the history of psychedelic therapy, where it is heading, the usefulness of challenging experiences, training psychedelic therapists, and the public’s changing perceptions of psychedelic therapy. He also discusses how psychedelic therapy is helping to shift views on the nature of consciousness and how it can open the doors to synchronicities. Tim and I also discuss the ongoing Covid pandemic as an analogy of a challenging psychedelic experience.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
