On this week’s episode we’re joined by the heroically wise Tim Hacker, creator of the Cryptic Chronicles podcast who collaborated with us to answer a question we get asked all too often; “WTF is Gnosticism?” In the free show we discuss Yaldabaoth, the blind, ignorant God who created the material universe and the oppressive cast of middle managers in the fourth dimension known as the archons. We explore their appearance in the Nag Hammadi library discovered in 1945, their descriptions in the gnostic texts and why we find slivers of Gnosticism throughout mainstream religion. In the extended show we discuss Sabaoth, the son of the Demiurge, The Gnostic Sophia, her place on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, Alien Overlords, The Hypostasis of the Archons and why the world is secretly an Escape Room.
