In this week’s episode we break out the military-grade thesaurus and embark down the long, winding road back to the shadowy origins from which some of our most common turns of phrase originate, illuminating their esoteric origins and what exactly they meant in the first place. On the free side of the show we pull back the curtain to explore exactly how many phrases we use in everyday life that secretly go back to the Fraternal Order of Free Masons! There’s a lot. In the extended side of the show we explore the multitude of common phrases that go back to the bible and a few others that are so ancient we don’t even know at all. Thank you and enjoy the show!

In this episode we discuss:
Getting the Third Degree
Hoodwinked
Fair and Square
Plumb
On The Level
Black Balled
Spill The Beans
Burry The Hatchet
Powow

In the extended side of the show (available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit) we go even further down the lexicological rabbit hole and discuss:
Skin of the Teeth
Apple of my Eye
Sour Grapes
Going The Extra Mile
The Whole Nine Yards
Riding Shotgun
Pulling Your Leg

In this week’s episode we invite Tim over for coffee, whip out the Edgar Cayce Companion Guide and wax philosophic from the back of our moving truck as we explore the words, prophecies and metaphysics of America’s greatest and most well documented psychic. In this first half of the episode we explore the caveats of whether or not one should engage in communication with spirits, how exactly that works and the way to do it safely. We were surprised to learn that Cayce’s advice aligns well with esoteric practice and we pause briefly to read from the Bardo Thodol. Leading into the extended show, the conversation shifts to the idea of what it means to have a spirit, what exactly spirit is in the first place and how it differs from the “soul.” So, grab a fistful of coffee, sip deeply, buckle up, thank you and enjoy the show.

In this week's episode we discuss:
Talking with spirits
Gods and Deities
Power of Prayers
What Form Spirits Have

In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go further down the rabbit whole to discuss:
Spirit vs. Soul!
What is an Entity?

In this week’s discussion we gather for tea around the fire and share the prophecies, advice and metaphysics straight from the sleeping prophet himself, Edgar Cayce. Having covered his life’s story in quite some depth, we set aside all the formalities and jump right into the most revealing sections of Edgar Cayce’s revelations organized neatly by topic, read them together and talk shop regarding the spicy details therein. As I’d hoped, Cayce’s source gave us quite a bit to talk about, beginning with a multi-faceted view of the now popular concept of the Akashic Record, the system log of the entire universe and most importantly how we, as psychics or magicians, may tap into it. In the extended side of the show we hone in our conversation on angels, what Cayce said about them and how it compares with Hermetic wisdom and traditional descriptions of them. Even if you don’t know or care at all about Edgar Cayce we think there’s probably still quite a bit for you to enjoy. Thank you and enjoy the show!

In this week’s episode we discuss:
The Akashic Record
The Collective Unconscious
The Aura
Egyptian + New Age Wisdom?
How to Tap In To the Source

In the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go a bit more occult and discuss:
What are angels?
Chaos Magick
