In this episode of Discovrse, Abammon the Great and Dr. Anna Stone speak with Kabbalist Yirah the Ari, whose work has attracted a growing following for his open discussion of advanced teachings from authentic Jewish Kabbalah.

Yirah shares insights into the deeper relationship between Gnosticism and Kabbalah, the hidden mystical structures within the New Testament, and the prophetic techniques he claims to have used in predicting the coming Iran conflict.

We also discuss the large translation effort he and his students are currently undertaking to bring foundational Kabbalistic texts into English, making material accessible that has historically been difficult to study outside of Hebrew.

Toward the end of the conversation, Yirah hints at a mysterious collaborative project connected to a broader world peace initiative, suggesting that ancient mystical knowledge may have a role to play in shaping the future.

This episode explores the deeper mechanics of Kabbalistic practice, the transmission of esoteric traditions, and the possibilities that emerge when hidden knowledge enters the public sphere.

In this episode of Discovrse, Dr. Anna Stone and Abammon the Great explore one of the most controversial questions in the occult: whether magic is simply psychological—or a real force operating within nature.We examine modern research into psi phenomena, including investigations conducted by U.S. intelligence programs and contemporary parapsychology organizations studying consciousness and anomalous perception. From there, we look back to the medieval metaphysical models that once explained magical influence through natural philosophy—frameworks that also attempted to describe sound, light, and the subtle forces that move through the cosmos.Along the way we discuss how historical theories of occult qualities and hidden sympathies differ from modern occult ideas about “belief” and “willpower,” and why many classical magicians saw magic as a lawful interaction with the hidden structure of reality.The episode closes with personal experiences and unusual manifestations that challenge the idea that magic is merely symbolic or psychological.Is magic superstition… misunderstood science… or something stranger entirely?Topics Covered• Modern research into psi phenomena• Intelligence agency experiments with psychic perception• Medieval metaphysics and natural magic• Occult sympathies and hidden forces in nature• Why classical magicians rejected the “belief model” of magic• Personal encounters with physical magical manifestationsJoin our College and Temple:www.collegeofmagicians.org&Our Occult App: https://www.livegrimoire.comA weekly show exploring magic, mysticism, parapsychology, and the hidden traditions of the Western esoteric world with Dr. Anna Stone and Abammon the Great.#Magic #Occult #Parapsychology #PsiPhenomena #Hermeticism #EsotericTradition #Witchcraft #Mysticism #HiddenKnowledge #Magick

What is Theurgy — and how does it differ from ordinary magic?In this episode of Discovrse, we sit down with Abbas the Alchemist for a wide-ranging conversation on the Divine Art. We explore what Theurgy actually means in the classical sense, how it developed in late antiquity, and how Arabic alchemy preserved and transformed elements of the Greek initiatory current.From there, the conversation moves into deeper waters:• The relationship between Theurgy and Alchemy• Arabic alchemical influence on Western esotericism• The nature of evil and demiurgy• Theurgic ascent vs. sorcery• Personal experiences with ritual practice• And a late-episode dive into Hecate and liminal goddess currentsThis isn’t surface-level occult talk. It’s a serious discussion of the initiatory tradition — where ritual, philosophy, and lived experience intersect.If you’re interested in Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, alchemy, or mysticism, this one goes deep.
