This is a very special episode – by its content, but also by its duration: Therefore we did not only split the interview in three parts instead of the usual two, but also play one additional piece of music.
In order to help you navigate more easily through the episode, do not forget that all Thoth Hermes episodes starting with Season 4 use Chapter marks. If your podcast player allows the use of Chapters (most of them do nowadays) you can easily jump back and forth between chapters!
Music played in this episode
1) IN PRINCIPIO (INCANTATIONS) – by Heather Dale

2) PHARAOH RAMSES II, by Derek Fiechter
Music in the Ancient Egyptian Style about the most powerful of all pharaohs
3) BUILDING THE CIRCLE, by Master Wilburn Burchette
The enigmatic WILBURN BURCHETTE burned most of his musical artifacts, but his impartiality to his own music didn’t deter its success. Creating music that resonated a cross between horror scores and Californian New Age, Burchette self-distributed on the Burchette Brothers label in collaboration with his brother, Kenneth, from 1971 to 1977.
4) THE WOLF’S SONG, by Jonna Jinton
A Lullaby from Swedish children’s book author Astrid Lindgren in “Ronya the Robber’s Daughter” inspired young Swedish Singer and Photographer Jonna Jinton to this beautifully dreamy song.
Das ist eine angenehme Überraschung!:) Frater V.D zu hören..!!
