THE WORLD OF THE WESTERN ESOTERIC TRADITION
OCCULT - MYSTICISM - MAGIC - PARANORMALSupport the Thoth-Hermes podcast!
Dear Friends and Listeners:
The show is taking a short break over Solstice season.
Please do not be discouraged: episodes will return very early in the new year. I require some balance and reflection in the several meaningful roles I am thankful to have in my life at the moment. This time will also allow some interesting new content seeds to germinate. Thank you for your interest and listening. I invite you to dwell in the Mysteries!
Hear you soon.

S9-E4 – Kremmerz, before and after-David Pantano
For many Giuliano Kremmerz is still quite unknown. Well, today's guest David Pantano has set out to change this, and today we want to do a step together in that direction. And the topic is worth it! Kremmerz tried to create a Hermetic School that is much less arcane...
S9-E3 – Pagan Resistance-Rhyd Wildermuth
First of all, thanks for your patience and apologies for last week's cancellation, but sometimes life just takes over. Podcasting is a great pleasure for me, but professional obligations need to be prioritized anyway. One thing I need to say though: for the next few...
S9-E2 – Quietist Occultism-Steve Dee
When I discovered (well, I was actually made aware of it through a friend) Steve Dee's latest book "Chaos Monk", I was immediately taken in by the title. That combination seemed so intriguing: How would Chaos magic and monastism be part of the same narrative? But when...

A few words about this page
Thoth-Hermes has been a plan I have been cherishing for a while: a website treating different subjects from the world of the Western Esoteric Tradition … At the centre of the activity there is a podcast, presenting mainly high quality interviews with important authors, thinkers and and experts, but also other aspects of the field.
I am European. Over the centuries Europe has given birth to most of the currents of what we call the Western Tradition. Over the last century or so there has been a shift towards North America, where many of the leading experts are now located. Also what we find on the internet comes often out of North America and the Anglo-Saxon world. Thoth-Hermes will try to give a strong European accent to our field, but is of course at any time open to esotericists from the whole planet.
I am an Artist. This is why I have also a special interest in artists who are working with influences and impressions from the Esoteric realm in their art, be it performing arts, music or visual art. The podcast and the website will therefore regularly feature artists and their work.
