Introducing 855: Ex-Witch Exposes Hidden Dangers of New Age | Angela Scafidi from The Confessionals. Follow the show: The Confessionals She thought she was chasing light, but step by step it was leading her deeper into darkness. In this episode, Angela Scafidi shares her raw testimony of being pulled into the world of New Age spirituality and witchcraft, where what began as a desire to help people spiraled into full immersion. Astrology, tarot, Reiki, yoga, and ritual circles slowly turned into what she now recognizes as a coven . What felt empowering at first became consuming, as she describes years of going further and further down this rabbit hole with no desire to escape, convinced she had found truth and enlightenment . But behind the illusion, something darker was at work. What she once believed were spirit guides and spiritual encounters revealed themselves to be demonic deception, opening doors that only led to deeper bondage . Everything changed when the Holy Spirit interrupted her life, leading her to completely renounce it all, burning the objects, stripping her home of everything tied to the occult, and turning fully to Jesus Christ in a moment of radical surrender . What follows is a powerful story of deliverance, transformation, and redemption. Proof that no matter how deep you go, Jesus still pulls people out of the fire.

The Virtual Alexandria rejoices when Tobias Churton arrives, and this time he’ll discuss his latest book, Celestial Realms: A History of Heaven since before the Dawn of Time. He’ll provide a comprehensive investigation into the diverse ideas and experiences of the afterlife across a vast range of religious and cultural traditions throughout human history. We’ll explore everything from the ancient mythologies of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the sophisticated concepts found within the world’s major religions and Indigenous cultures. You’ll engage with the enduring question of whether a celestial realm is a physical home for the gods, a moral reward, or a deeply felt inner state of being. And you know we’ll cover the Gnostic idea of the Pleroma.

A very important topic, and the sequel to my chat with Angie Speaks on her book, Late-Stage Babylon: Navigating the Post-Secular Spiritual Crisis. In an era of deep cultural upheaval, the resurgence of interest in UAPs and non-human technology signals the birth of a new secular mythology where extraterrestrials replace traditional deities. This shift represents a form of secular eschatology, reframing ancient longings for divine intervention and revelation into a scientific quest for contact with higher intelligence. While these flying saucers often function as Jungian mandalas symbolizing a collective desire for psychic wholeness, a modern “materialist capture” threatens to reduce this numinous mystery to cold discussions of propulsion systems and surveillance. Ultimately, we must decide if the alien question is an invitation to spiritual awakening or a tool of the counterfeit spirit used to encourage human submission to vast, inhuman forces.

This Black Iron Prison will bring down Plato’s Cave with the sound of mystic music. I’ll uncover the hidden science behind ancient Gnostic rituals — revealing how sacred chanting, vowel sequences, and bodily stillness were sophisticated technologies for inducing altered states of consciousness. Drawing on primary Sethian texts and modern neuroscience, this presentation shows how these practices stimulated the brain’s limbic circuit to produce genuine ecstatic experience—and offered a path to healing the deepest trauma of human existence.

The title says a lot, but Gram Pong will bring it all together and finish his provocative trilogy. The truth is that we are changing ages. The various secret factions that have ruled humanity for millennia, often fighting one another, are now pushing us toward a brave new world we will not like. What’s more, many of the secret societies we think of as caricatures or extinct might be as relevant as ever. Are you ready to expose them? Kirk and others seemed to have tried, but we have Sophia and memes on our side.

Sacred cows will fall, and new paradigms arise as Kevin Cann discusses his new book, Platonic Surrealism: UFOs and the Extra-Consciousness Hypothesis. We’ll dive deep into the true nature of the UFO phenomenon, moving beyond popular science fiction to uncover a more complex reality. We are systematically debunking alien myths that have dominated headlines for decades, such as the Roswell crash narrative and the persistent claim that technologies like fiber optics were reverse-engineered from starships. Our investigation dismantles the “nuts-and-bolts” hardware fantasy, explaining why popular concepts like warp drives and antigravity propulsion are currently unfeasible engineering dead ends. Instead, we explore the Extra-Consciousness Hypothesis, which suggests that what we see in the sky is a reflexive “appearance engine” that assumes the forms we expect to see. Join us as we bridge the gap between technical science and the profound mystery of the Plasmaverse, revealing how humans function as vital processing nodes within a living, conscious universe.

Mike Fiorito arrives at the Virtual Alexandria to discuss his new book, The Innerspace of Outerspace: Exploring Other Worlds Through Music. Let’s explore the liminal realm where music acts as a vital portal to unseen dimensions and a map for the inner space of the human mind. We delve into the "tone science" of Sun Ra, whose cosmic jazz arrived like a signal from another universe, challenging conventional reality and offering a path to a more liberated alter-destiny. The journey continues through the ambient dreamscapes of Brian Eno and the progressive rock visions of Jon Anderson, exploring how these giants were inspired by non-human intelligences and realities beyond the material world. Alongside the insights of musical pioneers like Syd Barrett and Steven Halpern, we discover how sound serves as a universal language and a bridge to a sacred understanding of oneness with all of creation.

Let’s step into a world where ancient spells and incantations still resonate, their meanings revived for modern seekers of manifestation, love, protection, healing, prophecy, and even vengeance. For this, I’ll be joined by Enid Baxter Ryce, who will discuss her book, Ancient Spells and Incantations: Echoes of Magic Through the Ages and Across Cultures.

How about an Easter Special? We won’t be foolish and compare it to Ishtar, but we’ll cover the gifts of the goddess because how Gnostic is that? I’m thrilled to talk to Dr. Joanna Kujawa and continue our discussion on her book, Alien Goddess: UFOs, AI, and the Goddesses of Ascension. Christ descended and rose, but so did many powerful goddesses, such as Inanna. We’ll also discuss the Eleusinian Mysteries, the subtleties of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and Pistis Sophia.

Get ready for an intense sequel, as Rev. Clifford L. Falen Jr arrives again in the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll continue his case that we’re in a planetary prison, where human consciousness is under a dark enchantment by a materialist narrative designed to harvest energy through cycles of various forms of loosh. He’ll go even deeper, going into DNA, genetics, and mind control. You’ll get the psychic and spiritual keys to unlock the gates of the Black Iron Prison if you can handle shocking truths.

Flatley to discuss his new book, The Occult Timothy Leary: The Tarot, Magical States, and Post-Terrestrial Evolution. We’ll explore the hidden esoteric life of a renowned psychedelic pioneer, tracing his transformation from a Harvard psychology professor into a fugitive philosopher of the occult.
