Welcome to Roon Soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the paranormal.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

This week we are taking the new format out for another spin by welcoming back to popular previous guests Miguel Connor and Chris Knowles,

to double talk the most contemporary of ancient philosophies,

Gnosticism and whether or not we live in the most Gnostic of times.

Monsieur's Connor and Knowles, thank you very much for your time and thank you for playing Gnostic bingo. and Nostick

Nostick bingo.

Great to be here, thanks Gordon.

Yeah, great to be talking to both here.

Yeah, yeah, so this is episode two of a kind of newish format and I would

like to begin by describing a universe to you. So the world is potentially the opposite

of what most people believe it is.

What we know about space is miniscule and deliberately occluded by a tiny elect who are nevertheless

very interested in it.

The population is mired in distracting phantasms. The scuttle but in the

agora is that the apocalypse could be any day now and the whole shebang is ruled

over by a deluded potentate who is far too confident in his own skills than perhaps he should be.

So, is this a modern universe or is this an ancient universe?

That's a great meme quote.

That should be a meme, Gordon.

That was really good.

And yeah, as obviously you, I don't know if you want to call it preaching to the choir.
