Podcast SummaryGnostic Media Research & Publishing's podcast with host Jan Irvin.A show that takes you far beyond the commonly understood concepts of religious practice, history, philosophy, the ancient mysteries, and politics, into the heart of cognizance itself. My focus is to bring together the leading independent and academic scholars from their respective fields of study to discuss shamanism, entheogens / psychedelics, religion, fertility cults, archaeoastronomy, direct religious experience, politics, and much more. My hope is that by providing a forum where both academic and independent scholars can present their ideas and research in a complete format, I will help to facilitate further understanding in these related fields - not only for the listening audience, but also for the researchers and everyone involved. Here the word 'gnostic' pertains to knowledge, and not necessarily dogmatic "Gnostic" teachings. The word gnostic has it's origins in the word 'knowledge' or to know [Greek gnosis, knowledge, from gignoskein, to know]. This is a one of a kind show, so sit back and relax as I take you on journey through time to deepest recesses of your mind. Jan Irvin of GnosticMedia.com is an independent researcher, author and lecturer in ancient and modern religious practices. He's the author of The Holy Mushroom: Evidence of Mushrooms in Judeo-Christianity; A critical re-evaluation of the schism between John M. Allegro and R.
