Researcher, writer, and multimedia artist David Metcalfe is our guest in podcast episode 132.
“David Metcalfe is an independent researcher, writer and multimedia artist focusing on the interstices of art, culture, and consciousness. He is a contributing editor for Reality Sandwich, The Revealer, the online journal of NYU’s Center for Religion and Media, and The Daily Grail. He writes regularly for Evolutionary Landscapes, Alarm Magazine, Modern Mythology, Disinfo.com, The Teeming Brain and his own blog The Eyeless Owl. His writing has been featured in The Immanence of Myth (Weaponized 2011), Chromatic: The Crossroads of Color & Music (Alarm Press, 2011) and Exploring the Edge Realms of Consciousness (North Atlantic/Evolver Editions 2012). Metcalfe is an Associate with Phoenix Rising Digital Academy, and is currently co-hosting The Art of Transformations study group with support from the International Alchemy Guild. Metcalfe’s most recent project is a collaboration with Dr. R. Andrew Chesnut, Chair of Catholic Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University, exploring the sanctification of death in the popular faith traditions of the Americas.”
David Metcalfe has emerged as one of the leading independent researchers in his field. I find his writing both accessible and insightful. The respect and reverence with which he treats his subjects makes his work even more special. I think this is crucial to David’s success and one of the reasons why I wanted to have him on as a guest.
Join David Metcalfe and I in the Occult of Personality Membership Section for the second part of this fascinating conversation, including a brief discussion of Ramon Lull and the Lullian wheel!

Very interesting show! Really enjoyed it.
A fascinating conversation, and one that delves into some really important — or rather necessary — issues regarding esotericism, parapsychology, and the relationship between them. Thank you both, Greg and David.
Another thoughtful and informative interview. Thanks!
You’re most welcome, Terrence! Thank you for listening, taking the time to comment, and supporting the show. I hope to talk with David again soon, whether in this context or another.
Hi David,
Missed you on FB and went looking for you. Searching I came on this wonderful website. I will certainly spend time reading it. In the meantime I have this link for you. The lecture may interest you. https://www.ritmanlibrary.com/2014/01/infinite-fire-webinar-v-gustav-meyrink-his-esoteric-novels/
