This is Renegade Files Episode 54, Occult Magic in Modern Science.

From our modern perspective we like to imagine that because technology builds upon previous knowledge to achieve gains, that we are at the pinnacle of science and understanding. While it’s possible that this is true, it’s also possible that ancient knowledge surpassed some of what we now know in certain instances, because natural connections and the cyclical nature of the cosmos were so much more a part of everyday life then.

Science is quick to tell us that in the old days, religion and folklore were used to both explain the world and control the masses. Is it possible that when science replaced religion as a way to explain the world, it also became the new way to control the masses?

If that’s the case, then we can finally begin to understand why, time and time again, the old symbolism and myths of occult magic and ritual reappear in our modern scientific institutions and endeavors.

So don the ceremonial cloak of mysticism and dust off your telescope. Join me as we travel from Alchemy to Outer Space and cross the tumbled stone bridges that make up the surprising connections of Occult Magic in Modern Science.
