Bless me Fader for I have sinned, it’s been 4 months since my last episode...
[where were you? why didn’t you call? where have you been? we were worried to death!]
yeah, well, sorry about that... it really couldn’t be helped... Hansel’s Moon rocks are so heavy with symbolism, they kept me busy in the library way longer than I could have imagined...
I kept coming across new information that begged inclusion in this episode, but I needed to read and digest a whole bunch of it before I could figure out where it belonged... of course most of this new information was very old stuff I’d never bothered to read before...
[uh, excuse you]
once I did, though, a funny thing happening...
[what?]
ideas that I’d spent my entire life taking as uh, gospel suddenly appeared in a completely new light... well, new to me that is...
see, there were texts and academic papers that had always been there... kinda like distant stars... and after traveling for ages, when their light finally hit my eyeballs...
BAM! just like that, I GOT religion...
[Glory! Glory! Amen and Amen.]
well, not like that... let’s just say I GOT it...
[let’s hope you make the most of it my boy]
🎶 Anachronist 🎶
Hi there, and welcome back to the Hansel and Gretel Code... this here is Episode 27
[oooh yes, y’all... we’re gonna do this again, like it’s normal anymore]
In our last episode we got pretty deep into the formidable rabbit hole known as Hermeticism... and found ourselves hot on the trail of Hermes Trismegistus... otherwise known as Thrice Greatest Hermes
[hip hip, HOORAY!]
that’s right... he’s the famous guy who’s name comes up in all the Hermetic material — and was always presumed to be its author...
[there goes one of the most remarkable men the world has ever known] George Wilson - Banker
[do you have any idea who he really is?] John Maloney - Federal Investigator
[no, and I don’t think that’s important. it’s enough to know that he’s the Lone Ranger] George Wilson - Banker
🎶
[ahem]
okay so he’s not the Lone Ranger... and he wasn’t even the author of those texts... still, I think it really IS important to know exactly who Hermes Trismegistus is or was...
[why?]
according to history, Hermes Trismegistus was a prophetic, wise and god-like character whose mysterious identity was something everybody was — and still is — eager to weigh in on...
[yeah, so what?]
well, plenty of academics, past and present, have given it their best shot by guessing at his identity, except it’s obvious all they were doing was applying logic to something that logic alone can never fully fathom... or even accept...
[why not?]
you and I know that the Hermetic Arts — Astrology, Alchemy and Theurgy … the big 3 that gave him his famous epithet as thrice great: — are Intuitive Arts... and so applying my Intuition to the question of Hermes Trismegistus I was able to discover his true identity... and I had promised to reveal it in this episode...
[I remember]
so, when I DO tell you who he really was, you’re not only gonna understand a whole lot more about who Hansel is... you’re gonna understand a whole lot more about your own Intuition as well...
[alright, if you say so]
so, before I spill the beans on Hermes T, remember that last time we kinda fell asleep, and that’s when we caught a dreamy glimpse of the emerald tablet...
🎶 sound of bagpipes 🎶
[it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, right]
OOH! not the emerald isle! the emerald tablet...
[dad joke groans]
c’mon, you know the emerald tablet, right...? as above so below...? it’s one of the 3 most famous of all the texts attributed to Hermes Trismegistus...
[who cares?]
hey, we’re only dealing with this guy and Hermeticism in general because Hansel’s Moon rocks were specifically meant to symbolize the Hermetic arts, and everything they mean to humanity...
[bollix, just bollix]
yeah, well, that whole business of Hansel sneaking outside the house to collect pebbles that looked silver under the light of the Moon... that makes the intuitive connection to Hermeticism pretty obvious...
[maybe]
it became even MORE obvious after we took that Time Machine trip up to Sweden and met Johannes Bureus — the intuitive Swedish polymath...
and just taking a peek at his writings. we found rock solid connections between Hansel’s Moon Rocks, Runes and each one of the Hermetic Arts...
remember?
[no!]
okay, I get it, Hermeticism is one hell of a complicated subject that logically seems way off topic for a German fairytale...
[ya got that right]
and sure, it may be a rabbit hole, but for my money, it’s a deeply rewarding one that our author actually wanted us to enter and explore...
so we could side-step it and just move on to the next line of the fairytale
[I think that we should do that]
yeah, but if we did, we’d be missing out on way too many of the jewels hidden in plain sight — which is to say: between the lines of this fairytale...
and that’s why we’re about to go even deeper into the infernal depths of Hermeticism, and specifically, into one of it’s darkest and least explored tunnels: Theurgy...
[ah, why?]
well, that’s so we can meet some honest to god Theurgists who are, of course, ancestors of Hansel and the Holzhacker family...
[I don’t wanna!]
hey, don’t worry, this is gonna be fun...
[are you sure?]
oh yeah, we’re even gonna play a little game of uh, Simon Says
[really?]
yeah... come on... let’s go...
[alright, but you go first]
*🎶*🎶*
PART ONE [09:05]
TEIL EINS: In which we finally meet the Cumean Sibyl and learn about her travel agency business
[I don’t know where to go next]
so this rabbit hole of Theurgy ain’t no ordinary hole in the ground... it’s got a bunch of entrances scattered around the Mediterranean... this one is located just outside of Napoli, it leads all the way down to Hades, and it’s guarded by the Cumean Sibyl...
[who’s that?]
Domenichino: The Cumean Sibyl
well, she was the priestess who lived in a cave at this particular entrance to the rabbit hole... and she, like all ancient sibyls, provided prophesies and divinations to anyone who was brave enough, or desperate enough, or maybe even just like us: smart enough to seek her out...
[so dark]
just so you know... divinations and prophesies are a legitimate product of Theurgy... and sure, I know, that kind of thing has always been easy to fake... the Cumean Sibyl though, had a reputation for coming up with the real deal...
[seriously?]
if you’re looking for proof though, or some kind of testimonial: one of her most famous customers was Aeneas, a refugee from the Trojan War who - with a little help from the sibyl - found fame and fortune, AND got a nice epic poem named after himself...
Not bad, heh?
[just show me the money]
of course Aeneas wasn’t an ancestor of the Holzhacker family, but he WAS an ancestor of Romulus and Remus AND Julius Caesar...
[Gallia est omnes divisa in partes tres...]
[ahem]
[friends, romans, countrymen., lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do...]
[what are you doing, you moron?]
okay, okay... Aeneas sought out the Sibyl because he wanted to have a little face time chat with his uh, dead father, Anchises, and well, that was a helluva long time ago... so the technology at the time was pretty antiquated, which meant that Aeneas had to go the long route and travel through this very same tunnel of Theurgy in order to reach his dad all the way down there in Hades...
a journey that’s known as a Katabasis...
[so what?]
well, in order to book a Katabasis, you needed the services of a theurgic travel agent and guide like the Sibyl...
as SHE herself put it:
getting down there is the easy part...
getting back up, ain’t no slam dunk, buddy...
[oh that’s not good]
later theurgists pulled a switcheroo that pretty much revolutionized the sibilline travel agency business by eliminating some of the danger...
[how?]
they used a brand new technology known as Necromancy...
[what’s that?]
in Necromancy, the theurgist calls UP the spirits of the dead and makes THEM come to YOU instead of you having to go DOWN and meet them on their turf... and that automatically eliminates the danger of not finding your way back up from Hades...
[oh, good!]
you and I though...? we’re gonna do it the old fashioned way and let those spirits chill while we make the trip down to visit them...
[oh no]
hey, we really do need to meet the Cumean Sibyl and she’s too old school for Necromancy... besides, when it comes to Theurgy, performing that kind of magic — Necromancy — for ourselves... ain’t quite the wisest thing in the world...
[nonsense!]
yeah, well, first of all, we’d need a damn good Grimoire...
[what's that?]
you, know, it’s that spirit phone book we mentioned back in E. 22... the one with all the correct names and numbers and such...
[oh yeah!]
and forget about that other theurgic technology, the one that critics and academics have always called "animating statues"
[what is that?]
well, you remember that from Episodes 25 and 26... don’t you?
[no!]
okay, we said that the ancient theurgists would whisper a request into the ear of a statue representing a god or goddess, and then patiently wait for that deity to come down, enter into the statue, and give an answer in the form of a physical nod of the head... what Jung called a Numen or a sign...
[I remember]
well, as I said, that kind of Theurgy amounted to calling divine spirits DOWN from above... in this case, we’d have to call spirits UP from below, and when you do that, you never know for sure who’s gonna show up...
[uh oh]
not unless you’re a pro yourself, or you’ve got a professional operator making the call for you...
and that’s what the Sibyl was... she was a professional Theurgist, always ready to act as go-between or medium — which is what any priestess or priest really is... she performed the requisite ritual of patient, meditative waiting for an answer from the divine spirit on behalf of anybody unwilling or unable to do that for themselves...
***
of course, there’s never any guarantee that a particular go-between, medium, priestess or priest has the chops to bring about the necessary and genuine moment of divine numen... this opinion was given the name: Donatism...
oh wait, sometime early in the 5th Century CE it was declared heretical to believe that the ecclesiastical powers of even the most depraved and brazen of pedophile er, I mean sinful priests were invalidated by their personal mis-conduct...
***
anyway, the Sibyl wrote down her numinous, oracular answers on oak leaves, and the story goes that they were somehow collected in books that she herself sold to the last King of Rome...
[um yes, you’re getting 2 for the price of 1]
Wikipedia tells us that according to Tacitus (Tacitus 6.12):
The books were...kept in the Temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill, Rome, to be consulted only in emergencies. The temple burned down in the 80s BC, and the books with it, necessitating a re-collection of Sibylline prophecies from all parts of the empire. These were carefully sorted and those determined to be legitimate were saved in the rebuilt temple.
[what a waste of time.]
This collecting of lost prophesies sounds an awful lot like the fate of so much fairy tale material in the hands of the Grimms... dontcha think?
[no!]
well, trust me, oak leaves or not, it’s the Cumean Sibyl who’s been answering all of the questions we’ve been asking of this fairytale material... she’s the one who’s been leading both of us, you and me, to all of this wild-ass, intuitive, historical and theologic material by acting as go-between... that is between you and me and the author of Hansel and Gretel...
[wow!]
so, in this episode, instead of hopping on the Time Machine, the sibyl is gonna take us through the very same passageway she led Aeneas through on his way to visit his father...
[that’s awesome]
okay, just so you know, the story goes that before they got started, Aeneas had to jump through a couple of hoops... the most difficult one was that he had to break off a branch of gold growing on a particular tree in the forest around Naples...
[why?]
well, that was so he could bring it as a hostess gift for Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld...
[oh boy, oh boy...]
don’t worry, I’m not gonna ask you to go to my donation page and break off any of YOUR hard-earned cash (although just in case you wanna, I’ll leave a link)
but if you WOULD please donate the grace of a rating or review of the podcast, or just shoot me an email and let me know that you’re listening... I’m sure Persephone will make sure that you will be royally entertained...
[are you not entertained?]
[I love it]
and before we start I wanna mention 2 super friends and supporters of this podcast: one of them is Danny van Leeuwen, a fellow podcaster and friend from Boston... Danny’s a long-time healthcare professional and patient advocate... you can hear Danny and his guests discussing Best Health on Health Hats the podcast... you can also find him on his YouTube channel...
I’ll leave a link...
🎶 [I’m Danny van Leeuwen, and I approve this message] 🎶
my other super-friend and supporter is Edwin Alvarez... Edwin is a dedicated practitioner of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in Chicago... he’s also a good friend from my time studying and teaching at Pacific College of Chinese Medicine in Chicago... since graduating over 10 years ago, Edwin has immersed himself in a deep study of the sometimes enigmatic, always fascinating, classics of Chinese Medicine and Asian Culture... so, in some ways, it doesn’t surprise me that this deep dive into a classical story of Western Culture appeals to his Intuitive nature... you can find Edwin’s practice in the Chicago phone book and on the web...
I’ll leave a link...
so, a big thank you and shout out to both youse guys, not only for your generosity in throwing some real bread my way, but for the grace of letting me know you’re actually listening to the podcast... I really, really appreciate that my frents...
🎶 Danke für meine guten Freunde 🎶
PART TWO [20:49]
*🎶*🎶*
TEIL ZWEI: In which we get to choose a summer camp, the Vatican, um, "opens the books**," and we get to play a game of telephone
[hello. is there somebody there? can you hear me? you’re scaring me.]
**
see wikipedia for what it means to open the books...
**
so, right out of the gate, the first guy we meet is someone you’re likely to have heard of...
[no, really?]
yeah... his name is Simon, and he’s an honest to god celebrity who became famous because of a write-up he got in the New Testament... specifically, we’re talking about the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 8:9-24) where they call him
[spaghetti]
uh, no... they call him Simon Magus...
the bible says that Simon was something of a magician or sorcerer who either astounded people or bewitched them — it all depends on which version or translation you read... of course his real claim to fame is that the ugly, ecclesiastic practice of simony was named after him...
[yup!]
and that’s because he tried to buy his way into a very specific, but utterly enigmatic aspect of the magical mystery tour, er I mean the miracle working powers of the apostles...
of course, the bible makes it sound like Simon was just another wise guy trying to bribe the apostles... after all, calling him a magus makes him just like the 3 wise guys, er, wise men — you know, the magi — who followed a star to Bethlehem... don’tcha think...?
[no sir!]
well, you DO remember how simony worked its way into our fairytale from back in Episode 5, don’t you?
[no!]
yeah, I didn’t think so...
simony came to mean the buying and selling of indulgences — those get outta jail free, er, get outta purgatory cards for yourself or your dead relatives... for century after century after century, that was the top selling item in the Vatican Gift shop...
[oh yeah]
back upstairs though, in the executive suite, simony also meant the buying and selling of lucrative ,uh, positions... you know, à la Rod Blagojevich...
[and you use the same techniques, and Chicago’s no different. They just got a lot more violent thugs, like Obama. Capeesh?]
[oh brother]
okay, okay... we’re talking ecclesiastic positions, like bishoprics and such... each of THOSE offices — and there must have been hundreds if not thousands of them spread all across Medieval Europe — had a nice income, attached to it... and even if you had to kick the majority of that action back upstairs, you still got your taste...
come to think of it, it WAS almost like becoming a made guy... once they made you bishop or cardinal and gave you a crew, nobody could fuck with you... nobody except maybe a commission of bosses, or the capo di tutti capi, the pope himself, that is...
but I digress...
[ahem]
here’s the thing though... the deeper I got into reading about Simon, the more I came to wonder if making him the fall guy for simony, wasn’t just a clever hatchet job on the part of the bosses...
see the weird thing about Simon is: all that New Testament talk about his magic or sorcery sits right next to talk about apostles doing the VERY SAME THING...!
[what the hell?]
yeah, except in their case it’s not called magic, it’s called "performing signs and working miracles..."
[Amen!]
yeah, well, the New Testament calls Simon a magician, but my sense is that he was really just an honest — and honest to god — theurgist...
[you’re kidding, right?]
hey, this is no joke... see Theurgy, pretty much amounts to calling on your god or godess to do what otherwise seems humanly impossible, which, is what a miracle is... right?
[precisely]
and the difference between a miracle and magic is what, exactly...?
[I dunno]
well, it’s a pretty important question, because even though the bible doesn’t call ANYBODY a theurgist***, that’s EXACTLY what any biblical character "performing signs and working miracles" was...
***
technically, that is... in Daniel 5:7, there’s mention of Chaldeans — which actually was a euphemism for theurgists...
***
and I DO mean ANYBODY...!
[Jesus Christ!!]
uh, yeah, him too...
[what are you talking about?]
well, I thought maybe it was just me who couldn’t help wondering why all those biblical miracle workers got tossed into 2 different camps...
[huh?]
hey, we’re all familiar with Camp Holy, Holy, right...?
[of course]
right... of course, there’s Old Camp Holy Holy and New Camp Holy Holy... obviously, the counselors at Old Camp Holy Holy are all those Old Testament miracle workers... you know, guys like Moses and Joseph and Daniel — just to name a few...
***
there are, in fact, plenty of unnamed theurgists from the Old Testament, but there are also a couple of others who get the Simon treatment in terms of how their story gets told... one of which, a guy named Manasseh, gets some very special treatment in 2 Kings...
***
[definitely]
and then at New Camp Holy Holy you’ve got all your New Testament miracle workers... guys like the apostles, and St. Paul, and fer Chrissake, what about the big guy himself — J.C.
[excuse me?]
OOOH! whaddya think...? changing water into wine and curing leprosy without antibiotics — to say nothing about raising the dead... it’s all pretty impressive stuff... dontcha think...?
[yes sir!]
yeah... I think so too...
but then across the lake you’ve got that other camp... the one with all the BAD guys... the one where all of THEIR miracles are called "sorcery and magic..."
[naturally]
and that’s Camp Simon...
[affirmative!]
so the bible doesn’t LIST any of Simon’s miracles... it just says:
...for some time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria.
[yeah so, what?]
well, I think it’s pretty obvious that calling Simon’s miracles sorcery doesn’t prove that Simon was a bad guy... in fact, it’s not all that hard to read between the lines here and understand that the biblical description of Simon was WAY more Fox News than CNN...
[what?]
the only thing that’s obvious is that by calling Simon’s miracles sorcery, they tried to make us understand that Camp Simon was on the wrong side of the lake... and just in case we didn’t get the message, the bible says:
He boasted that he was someone great...
[that’s bad]
yeah, well, that’s what we’re supposed to think... except, I don’t know... what’s wrong with a little boasting when you know you’re pretty effin’ good?
[I am the greatest!]
right...?
[ooh]
so mixed in with all the propaganda and character assassination, the bible still manages to give us some facts about Simon and his camp... it says:
...all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, ‘this man is rightly called the Great Power of God.’
[some people say...]
fact is, Simon really DID have a loyal following of very happy campers who must have been pretty impressed by all of his, uh, sorcery... they were called Simonians, and according to some guys we’re gonna hear from later, they — like modern-day Rajneeshis — were into free love, baby!
[I like that!]
now my point is, it’s more than possible that what Simon was doing wasn’t any different at all from what the apostles were doing... none of which was 3rd rate magic in the form of entertainment... you know, plain old sleight of hand, like Penn and Teller...
in all likelihood, it was honest to god Theurgy — with honest to god miracles... nevertheless, according to the bosses, hanging out in Camp Simon was a Big Bozo No-No...
[that's a Bozo No No]
[oh god! oh jesus!]
something I find pretty weird though, is that the bible never accuses Simon of being in league with demons and devils... then again, it wasn’t long before that kind of unspoken, biblical innuendo was turned into a more Fox-Newsy gospel truth by all sorts of shills, er, I mean pius apologists and champions of Christianity...
in other words, through a very lengthy game of telephone, the biblical rumors about Simon passed from writer to writer to writer until everyone in Christendom came to believe that Simon — along with every theurgist outside the Vatican franchise — was in league with the devil...
🎶 [inquisition splash] 🎶
[oh absolutely]
okay, so it looks like the Cumean Sibyl is giving me the high sign so I guess it’s time for a pit stop...
[box. box.]
[ahem]
for our next episode, she’s got at least 7 guys lined up who wanna play Simon Says with us...
before we go, she just wants us to know that even though she was known for oracles and trips to Hades, that was never the aim of her theurgic practice... however lucrative her divination / travel agency business was - it was all just a by-product of her Theurgy...
and herein lies the crux of the matter of Theurgy... not to mention a whole shitload of medieval history...
the real practice of Theurgy, which is no joke, amounts to getting yourself right with your god or goddess, whoever the heaven or hell that might be...
the object of Theurgy was never magic or miracles... the object was to return your own soul to its divine origin...
that was the real magic...
in fact, the same thing is true for Astrology and Alchemy... which is why the dedicated practitioner of any Hermetic Art was, in truth, a magician or, as the bible put it: a Mage or Magus...
[you can’t be serious]
hey, just think of those 3 wise men... at least one of them had to be an astrologer, and the guy who brought the gold you gotta figure was an Alchemist... is it too far-fetched to understand the 3rd guy must have been a Theurgist...? as for calling them Magi, well, that’s self-explanatory... yet despite being known as magicians, the Vatican still calls them saints...
hey, come to think of it, even dead saints have to make magic, er, I mean perform miracles, in order to get elected into the club, don’tcha know...
so why wasn’t Simon Magus afforded the same courtesy...?
[uh, I don’t know]
🎶 they call me a god 🎶
I’ll be back with episode 28 before you know it... while you’re waiting, you might as well:
[talk amongst yourselves...]
and, oh yeah... you know the drill
[visit us on the web @...] betweenthelines.xyz
alrighty, then ciao a tutti...
🎶 they call me a god 🎶
[ciao, ciao]
got a question, or just want to say hi...?
