Do you have a favorite? Not meant to, but mostly the unloved ones, the unvisited ones, the cases that get dusty and ignored.

All the broken and shunned creatures.

Someone's got to care for them.

Who shall it be if not us?

Yes. Welcome to Roon soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the very best new and old ideas for living in this world, coming to you from 43 degrees south on a small farm in deepest Tasmania.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

This week we welcome back to the show The One and Only Peter Gray.

Peter is an author, speaker, and half of the A Culture Defining Publishing House Scarlet

Imprint. Peter joins us today to talk about his

latest book, The Two Antichrist's. This means we go into Jack Parsons' influence

on science fiction and science fiction's influence on Jack Parsons, Elron Hubbard's fascination with

Alisto Crowley and some of the ways he out Crowley the Beast himself in many

respects. Also magical individualism, the future of witchcraft, and by extension, possibly the future of all life itself, both on and off planet.

Enjoy.

Peter, congratulations on the book.

Thanks, thanks, Gordon.

It was, yeah, it was a pleasure to, a pleasure to get this one written.

Yeah, it has that sense.

And you know, funny, it's, I'm reading through it, here's my first thought. Here we are in 2021, and you wrote a space book for Scarlet in print, and I wrote an eco-book.

Yeah, and I'm like, yeah.

I thought we do, I thought we just saw a different moment.

Exactly, exactly.
