On this episode of Coffee & Divination, we welcome back author and magician John Michael Greer. He's written numerous works on a variety of topics, including ecology, politics, appropriate technology, oil depletion, Druidry, divination, and magic. (He has written over 50 titles so far.) In this discussion, we delve into some of the magical underpinnings of politics today, as well as in the more distant past. His recent thought-provoking book, "The King in Orange: The Magical and Occult Roots of Political Power," was our jumping off point, and I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation. -- John Michael Greer's Ecosophia blog: https://www.ecosophia.net -- Link to "The King in Orange": https://www.innertraditions.com/books/the-king-in-orange -- John Michael Greer's works: https://bookshop.org/shop/jmg -- JMG's Dreamwidth page: https://ecosophia.dreamwidth.org -- Theme music: Come with Me by JoAnna Farrer.
