Video Description
Season four begins with the mandrake. Ammon Hillman reads Dioscorides, who calls the plant the Circean, and reports that Pythagoras called the mandrake his little prophet. The old sources knew it by many names, including the prime communion and the organ of Typhon (Τυφῶν). Hillman says the plant belongs to the tropane family, like belladonna and thorn apple, and that these were not taken for pleasure. They were a working medicine.
Dioscorides then describes what the mandrake does. It can bring on mania (μανία) and rob the voice, aphonos (ἄφωνος), a word used of the tragic chorus. Hillman reports that doctors used it to cut away wrath and aggression, and surgeons used it to put a patient under for hours. The juice made a philtron (φίλτρον), the love potion, and the plant carried both the stupefying and the prophetic power. In his account, the goal was to enter a controlled madness and come back out changed.
Then he ties it to the rite. The mandrake, he says, is bound to Circe, to the queen who turns men into beasts, to the sibyls (Σίβυλλαι), and to the colleges of priestesses at the end of the Bronze Age. The episode’s claim, reported here rather than endorsed, is that this drug was one part of a constellation, dote and antidote balanced, and that madness itself was the medicine. He closes with the question the whole season pursues: what was the naked boy doing with Jesus, and what does the evidence in the old pharmacology say about it.

Drinkin’ whiskey when that whiskey’s burnin’ through my veins.
Indian goes crazy and the Scotsman wants to bash out the brain.
Englishman don’t know why.
Got a little mixed up in the hills of Carolina.
Got you sellin’ and you got your drinkin’ whiskey.
Oh yeah!
Drinkin’ whiskey.
Oh yeah!
tonight on the season premiere of lady babylon satanic initiation i have managed to secure for
you an interview of an extraordinary wonderful celebrity i’ve brought it to you bringing it
right to you tonight we’re going to be able to ask some hard-hitting questions starting with
round one tonight we’re going to move forward into that new discovery that new bronze age discovery
And we’re going to look at a specific drug, a compound that’s so important.
It’s going to lead us along the path of the mystery.
Tonight, season four begins, Lady Babylon.
Tonight’s subject of medicinal madness is brought to you by necessity in the present.
We’re going to look at these drugs.
We’re going to look at the combos that they’re using.
We’re going to look at the people who are using them.
We’re going to ask why.
And tonight we get to drop into a very sleepy place, a place where we can breach all of those
bounds that we don’t normally breach. We can bring forward in that religious ecstasy. We can bring
forward that music. I think we have an example of some musical ecstasy. Can you hit it, Chewy?
So, can we pull up the headline? Yeah, this is just something to pull out of the present,
right? Something just to anchor us here. Yeah, woman has loud and full body orgasm
during LA Philharmonic concert. So, what is that old association? Tonight,
the reason that we have to come through this appearance of the orgasm or the orgasmos
in greek that or gay root we’re coming to the orgia we’re coming to the place where we bring
out the bakic voice where we bring that out right and in order to get there um we have to anchor
ourselves with you know why why are we doing this the drugs that were in that bronze age hair that
constellation of drugs are tangled within a right that involves sexuality it involves the individual
coming to the point of the what you and i would call the orgasm under the influence and if that
individual does not have within themselves that milk of calm if they do not have that milk of
calm they won’t be coming back so this is uh the knowledge here is fantastic the the capability of
these bronze age priestesses pharmacologically is considerable so tonight i want to look at
mandrake but before we do i want to put everything within context and the reason that we’re here
in season four is we are hunting we are hunting for the mystery we are putting jesus within the
evidence we’re looking at the evidence of what we have so that we can say what was that naked kid
doing with jesus now i’ve been asking that question for several years what was that naked
kid doing with jesus and i can tell you that from the different types of response that i’ve
the responses that i’ve gotten from the academic community um by and large overwhelmingly
it is fearful people don’t want to talk about it so tonight i thought we’d nail down jesus
and see what he thinks it’s chewy roll that it’s me everybody’s favorite lord and savior jesus
Christ. And, uh, I just wanted to take a short break from my very busy schedule of, uh, you
know, miracles and, of course, other really important Jesus duties up here so that I could,
uh, have a little divine intervention with you. Let’s see. You’ve got a question for
me here. Let’s, uh, let’s read it. I have just one very important question. Uh, what
were you doing with that naked kid with whom you’re arrested with at 4 a.m. in the public
part? Oh, uh, yeah, you’re referring to Mark 1451. Ah, sharing the gospel. Good word. I know what it
looks like. Uh, listen, um, trust me, I was already cancelled 2,000 years ago, so, uh, I don’t think
I can be cancelled again. It’s all right. I love you. Stay blessed, and try not to do anything I
I agree with 80% of you.
He looks guilty, doesn’t he?
He looks really guilty.
Credits.
Credits to Jesus for answering and for understanding that the cost of such things,
of his ability to speak, shouldn’t be more than $40.
Yeah.
Yeah.
thank you, Jesus, for your response. At least Jesus had the guts to stand there and to look us in the
eye and to give us an answer. The majority of people that you encounter, that you ask them this
question, what kind of answers will they give you? We’re overheating here. What kind of answers will
they give you yeah you’ll be shocked at what you get you’ll see the person come right out come right
out from that proposition we don’t care do we no we are here because we want to get to the real
we want to get to the bottom we don’t care about what theories are and i want to re-emphasize that
this season we don’t care what your theories are we don’t care what books you write we don’t care
what classes you teach. We don’t care what you’re selling. We’re here to find out what that
crystal clear reality tastes like. Yeah, we’re here for that spring, right? You guys are all
devotees of the muse. We don’t care that Harvard and Yale have dropped the ball and Princeton has
shot its own brains out. We don’t care. We don’t care that they academically committed suicide.
We don’t care. We don’t care that Harvard and Yale and every other ivory tower association on the planet is scrambling to figure out where they went wrong. We don’t care. Ours is the evidence. This is the museum. We have the sources. We have the texts. Let’s jump into one tonight. This is our first. I just want to give you the first Greek text that I’ve got up here. Yes, beautiful. Thank you, Chewy.
yeah I’m just gonna give you a little bit of diascorides a little bit of
diascorides and this time I’m gonna do a little bit differently I’m gonna let you
see the text I’m gonna flash it up here and I’m gonna tell you that we’re gonna
be looking at mandrake we’re gonna be looking at mandrake and then I want to
put the take go ahead and take the text down and now I’m gonna read it to you
for those of you who do such things you pause it and you can go back over the
Greek but for those of you who say I’m not into the Greek but I want to hear
what this has to say for you we’ll take that down i want to read to you about mandrake um we call
this plant he says the circean the circean and when he says that right away we all run we all run
to the folks at the university and we tell them this is a compound a polythronic compound that
is called by the name that you can then piece together all of its component parts to restore
it, to make it one. It’s the Circean. The Circean. Okay, what is this Circean thing? This is what
they’re looking for in Spain, right? It’s what they’ve got in their hair. It’s what they’ve got
in their hair. Okay, so let’s look at one of the constituents of the Circean compound. It is this
mandrake the root of mandrake and when I say Circe and I want you to remember I
want you to remember that we are talking about late Bronze Age monarchies that
are ruled by women who have extra specialized knowledge that knowledge is
being used militarily it’s being used medicinally and it is being used
in a very destructive way, as well as a very positive way, too. You could say it was their
artificial intelligence, right? It was that burst, that fluorescence. And there are people who are
known to be the pioneers of these fields. You might be surprised to find out, but Pythagoras
calls this combination his oracular prophet. Give me some prophet. I need the prophet. So
strangely enough, though, this prophet is a mantic, a mantic prophet. Yes. And this prophet
gives you the future through insanity, through lunacy, through mania, through mania. Now,
Here’s the thing, though, for those of you who need it, this drug can cure that violent,
wrathful, fierce impulse.
Yes, fantastic.
That’s how it’s being used medically.
That’s how the doctors use it.
Apparently very good.
Stabilize your brain.
Yes.
They’re inducing a state.
They’re inducing a state.
Let’s see what else he says about this drug.
You’re going to be surprised.
You’re going to be surprised.
So this is one of the Circean elements, one of the Circean elements.
And what do we know about this Circean element?
Well, we know the Egyptians call it blah, blah, blah.
You know, we’ve got all these different regions, but Pythagoras calls the mandrake this, his little anthropomorph.
Isn’t that nice?
Isn’t that nice?
Throw up, give the mandrake up there, let people see the creepy root.
um yes and notice that uh this old drug this old drug even the zoroastrians he says
call it this original or prime communion this prime communion the romans have their names for
right and some people call it the the penis of typhon some people call it penis typhon we know
We know that the people that are involved have these baskets, yes, these baskets with these dildos, and it only makes sense that this medicated dildo that we’re using to administer this drug.
Remember, guys, that we’re not, you’re not in Kansas anymore.
I forgot to tell you the ship.
We’re already there.
You’ve got to realize that this is coming from the worship of the great mother
who is actively involved in the sexual maturation of what you and I would call a child.
Yes.
So already we’re in a foreign world.
We’re in a foreign world.
We’re going to have to get up, sniff that air, and we’re going to say,
okay this isn’t this isn’t what i want right this isn’t what i want it’s culturally this is but it’s
there so we’re gonna have to deal with it we’re gonna have to see um the right as it was in the
real yes good good good so pythagoras is steeped in the use of this in mania inducing drug and
And remember, it is only the minads who end up bringing through the a-fonia.
You say, what?
Yeah, it turns out if you take this drug, it turns out if you take this drug,
Dioscorides tells you that it can put you into a place where you’re a-fonos.
Yes, and what does that mean?
It means literally without a voice.
It means literally without a voice.
but it is a word used of the tragic chorus. It is a dropping, a roughening, a harshening of the voice
chemically, chemically. In other words, we’re inducing a mania, a psychosis. We’ll show you
the drugs in a minute, but you’re inducing a psychosis with these things that involves a
visionary state that is complete horror and you say why would you want to do that and they say
well antiquity the doctors say well it helps with the aggression problem yeah it helps with the
aggression problem you put somebody through this initiation and you bring them out securely
you know it’s part of their health they didn’t say mental health right but it’s a way of casting out
the demons, fantastic, you can see, you can see the health is there, okay, so here we are with
the mandrake, and he says it’s very useful, it’s very useful, the root and its juice are very
useful, in the philtron, in the philtron, I think I’ve got the Greek, let’s just go through some of
these forms of the Greek up here, we’ll start up here, this is the type of power that you’re
dealing with, the carotikos. Isn’t that nice? The stupefying. And the carotikoi are a whole group
of powers, right? Of drugs. Good. Let’s go to the next one. Yeah. Look at, oh, this is, you know,
whenever we’re dealing with serials, we got to get into the sataneos, right? Remember,
take it down all of these drugs and this is hard for us to understand but they’re using not one
drug at a time they’re using compounds against other compounds so multiple component drugs
that are the dote and the antidote or the anti-pharmacon being these mixtures that are
used to buffer right to maximize the potential without killing the patient so they’re under the
Influence of a lot of drugs and you know, they tweak it with the more opium here
Do you have you seen how much nice Gordy’s has on opium, right?
The surgeons are using mandrake if they want to put you to sleep to take something out of you or to cauterize
He says they have to put you under the influence of the mandrake
It can knock you out for two to three hours and their hours are like two and a half hours
hours. And that’s why he says the surgeons used them. The surgeons used them, right?
Good, good, good. But we have these states. What if we are missing something here and that
we have failed in our struggle for mental health? We’ve failed to cast out our demons
because we drop the ball. We drop the ball. We let the compounds and the knowledge of those
compounds go. We let them go, and now we’ve got nothing on the receiving end. We know that these
chemicals work in the brain. We know they do certain things. We know that when you enter death,
the brain acts differently. Yes, yes. Now, what do we know about inducing this state?
in an individual through a polypharmaceutical process, right? The only way we’re going to get
there is through the mandrake, is through the actual evidence, the actual drugs that are used.
This is fantastic. This is fantastic. The juice makes a filter. And what is a filtron? I’ve got
another. Just keep bringing me up the Greek. Maybe it’s one of these. There we go. Just click away,
okay is this the philtron yes it is okay look at here people look at look at what we’ve got
isn’t this gorgeous look at this philtron you know what you use these things for
you use these things to bring yourself to the moment to the moment that you’re able to understand
the past and the future all at the present right this is temple of aphrodite stuff
Temple of Aphrodite stuff.
And I just want you to notice that it can just mean the thing that causes love and affection.
That thing that brings you there.
So remember, when we’re talking antiquity, we’re talking the sexiness of the science is off the chart.
All of it is complaining about, oh man, I’ve been taking so many aphrodisiacs, I can’t get an erection anymore.
What am I going to do for that?
right? So what do you, in order to exist in a society where they’re using all of these drugs
in a very sophisticated way, you’ve got to have a college of priestesses, please. Those of you at
the Bronze Age that realize the level that we’re working with here, it’s just phenomenal. It’s
off the charts the um education here is off the charts it’s wonderful um i just want to make one
quick note from the text right um you’ll get a lot of talk about well you know you take so much and
you know you take uh you take even more double that and this kind of group of symptoms you’ll
get you won’t just get you won’t just get the mania the psychosis right that’s stage one by
the way for all of you who are keeping track with our drug cocktails yes that’s we’re at stage one
here is the mania right so you have to keep it at a certain level right you don’t go off the edge
and you know thank goodness there’s guys like nikandu who say look here’s the antidotes
for when you catch these people out and they’ve just they’ve they’re off the edge and all they
can do is make animal noises right remember where are we we’re at the late bronze age and if you’re
not careful circe queen of the etruscans is going to cut off your gonads and give you drugs anally
through with a wand and put you into a cage turn you into that eunuch a servant right oh god turn
you into that pig where do you think the sibyls are coming from in the bronze age where do you
think that tradition is coming from sibyl is a truscan word man that c is the word for gods
i didn’t get that from anywhere i got that from john lettuce you want to look up
oh look up john lettuce see what he says about sibyls yeah love it love it i love this stuff
so here we are we still got the mandrake and i still want you to see what are we doing we’re
we’re going into, oh, we’re going into that manic. We’re going into that manic stage. Okay. So what
is the delirium that is so beneficial medicinally that we are bringing, right? What is that? Because
that’s the state that we want to get to. And we’re only going to get there with a proper balance of
drugs and the right sexual act. That’s going to get us. Somebody asked me, what’s the purpose of
all of the use of this drug, right? That these guys like Pythagoras and these oracles are
flipping out on. What’s the use of this kind of thing? Is it just vision? Is it just insight?
And I would have to say, I would have to say, you and I are sitting in a history of oracles.
It doesn’t matter what countries you’re from. It doesn’t matter what your peoples are,
what your ethnicities are. It doesn’t matter what your language is. You are still sitting
within a history that is a struggle for the mystery itself for the performance of the mystery
to bring back that cup of lady babylon is the greatest danger to the christian religion it’s
the greatest danger to the um the followers of moses i’m not talking those israelis that are
out partying the disco right who talk about the dotties i’m not talking about those people i’m
talking about the orthodox talking about the fundamentalists right um this greatest threat
to their system is the control of the mystery is the control of the mystery and what was this
mystery that was operating in the ancient world what was the purpose out of it every time
out of it comes the oracular capacity to read the future and the past in the present now
hang on before you jump and you’re like oh it’s fortune telling right it is fortune telling but
it’s fortune telling on a scientific level it’s fortune telling via chemistry and via music yeah
it’s an it’s an accelerated form of learning it’s the pythagorean root it’s the reason he’s
in the cave yes it’s a development it’s a development for jesus and mary ever got together
he had to cast seven demons out of her right so these states of mania that are associated with
the sauter right we’re originally states of mania associated with the sauter with the sauter yeah
throw me up these last i need to devil said hurry up tonight we’re gonna have at seven
at half past we’re gonna have a old boy who’s going to bring us some new info from britain’s
he’s he’s been running back in time for us um go ahead and bring up which of these have we not
scene there we go yeah i just want you to see here’s strich struchnon right and look at three
and four struchnon manicon and struchnon hypnoticon so you have very different you know
effects here mentally and diascorides we’ll mention these so you have the regular sleep and
then you have the manic state right and some of the plants are better at introducing that
maniac state that that good mania right okay let’s get another one i just want you to see
the whole school mao to be mad from taking him bane right so when you’re tripping when you’re
tripping on this stuff and you’ve got the purple stain and they know you’re one of those right
they’ll probably call you the prophet time they’ll probably call you the galloy right
you’ve got different names for them um these the followers of cotito don’t you like that one oh
that’s a good one um this is what you’ve got on board this is what you’re doing this is what
you’re doing to enter um go ahead and put up a c kiss i want people to see a c kiss um look here
you know this is to be crazy money apple taste post from the communion drink right from the
potion itself, right? There’s a heart to the mandrake. Oh, Eve is always, she’s always right
there, pertinent. There’s a heart to the mandrake. And Dioscortes says, you can give somebody that
heart, that fruit, right? You can give somebody that fruit. And that fruit is the thing that
opens the eyes that fruit is the heightened awareness yeah it is that thing which got us
all kicked out of the garden yeah right now we have to have that painful childbirth don’t be
fooled this all goes back to the childbirth if you don’t have a fetus somehow involved here
you’re in the wrong place. And if you aren’t considering, seriously considering drinking
fetal juice, then you don’t drink the blood and eat the flesh. Yes, you don’t drink the blood
and eat the flesh. With the mandrake, with the mandrake, we can follow. We can say, okay,
we’ve got another group. We’ve got another group of drugs that are what I’m calling constellations.
That’s my own. I’m just trying to characterize what’s going on. But we’ve got another constellation
of drugs that has a very specific role that you can see driven throughout the history from the
earliest recorded Greek that we’ve got. From the earliest recorded Greek, when all we’ve got is
the one I saw, right? All we’ve got is the one I saw. We have those drugs from the very beginning
and we have these women. And I just, I really wanted to stress, we are starting to see,
because the Bronze Age archaeology is flourishing right now, we’re beginning to see different kind
society that is this poison arrow horse culture um and we we see that there are surprise surprise
there are women who are the generals you know the chinese didn’t like this in the bronze age
um they had a very male driven and were a look down upon female um power yeah um because their
problem was with those guys who were riding around whose women are the generals yeah and who were
fighting out in the front yeah and their mobile horse troops yeah the greeks had to deal with
these people too right uh these were the amadzone or these were the um masagitai yeah these were the
people who were there these are the people who were there to um use that poison in the arrow
So mandrake tonight, mandrake. We’ve got to root ourselves in the physical nature
of what they were doing. Tonight’s mandrake shows us that we can have families of drugs
that are meant to achieve certain effects in health, certain effects in cult. We can have
those families of drugs and our last surprise tonight we are looking for those of you who are
interested in the more esoteric right i know a lot of people are talking about esoteric right
but if you really want the esoteric you want to know what rights were used by the caesars
you want to know what rights were the rulers rights and you want to follow those which we can
we can’t i can tell you what augustus caesar did in the privacy of his own bedroom yeah i can tell
you that i can tell you that why because that that drug has left a fingerprint and when i say
drug please people please understand i did not mean a single drug i do not mean one thing we
bring up those tropane alkaloids look at this this is these are the drugs we’re talking about
people look at this from from from our plants here our family here’s our mandrake right here’s our
belladonna here’s our datura and look at the chemicals that we’re getting these are these
all have that tropane ring right with that one nitrogen oh this is gorgeous and these look what
wait cocaine it’s over there right right now you’re starting to get the bacchic frenzy
this is not the place for the hippies right hippies should not hippies don’t
don’t show up don’t show up singing songs don’t if you’re gonna participate
in these rights you’re gonna have to enter the darkness you’re gonna have to
enter that mania you’re going to have to worship Malina we the goddess of black
black mania, dark, black, putrid mania. These are the gods of death, man. This is Lhasa
stepping forward. This is the one who’s going to smash your pumpkin with a giant sledgehammer,
right? This is the death and resurrection of the mystery. For those of you who call yourselves
Christians, this is the mystery that you took up after your master Jesus, who was himself
arrested in a public park at 4 a.m. with a naked boy. Tonight, we welcome his old boy here.
Is his old boy here? Nope, he’s not here. You’re four minutes late. We’re going to have to
We revoke the pay that he does not get.
As we wait for Allboy, just to give us a little background on the Britons,
our interest is with the Puella, is with the Puella who brings the miraculous cure.
And here he is.
Here’s Allboy.
Allboy, let me introduce you to the group.
it’s um all boy is a intensive greek student and he has an interest in finding out things britain
and tonight i just want to ask him as an ignoramus as somebody who does not study this field it isn’t
it is not my field um but i like to dabble in it because we all can read right i tell me something
do we have any overlap between these classical bronze age queens performing their magic and
doing their sexual thing do we have any overlap between these and you know are there britons
anywhere that we can pull up a rock and find these same people tell me about it i’ve definitely first
of all can you hear me okay okay so um basically i’ve um come at this from a point of view where
I actually was looking into this history and mythology and I started noticing these sort of
themes and then when I stumbled across your work I noticed that there was these similarities and
that was kind of spurred me on to look into it deeper for sure so as I’ve gone into some of the
texts and I’m looking at it through this lens of trying to well just seeing it from everything
that you’ve been sort of teaching and showing in these past videos and there’s definitely more
tapes that are cropping up that are that are similar so basically today um the presentation
that i’ve got we’ve we’ve looked at some of the uh the irish mythology it’s actually taken us to
the irish mythology and to uh to mave so that’s who we’re going to be looking at today fantastic
do you want to just throw her out there um i know that let me ask this i know that meave is the same
uh is is the same person as medb is the same person perhaps as mab what is it with the overlap
of these princesses can we can we keep these people straight or are they all becoming one
well they’re definitely um the linguistics definitely think there’s some connection
between the old irish and the the old welsh so move which is sometimes spelled medb
Her name is assumed to be cognate with the Celtic Medu, which means mead from the Proto-Indo-European Medu, which is mead or honey.
This is continued into the Old Irish, Mid, the Old Welsh, Medh, Modern Day Welsh, Medh, which is spelled M-E-D-D, and Breton, Mez.
So Breton is kind of like the Brittany area.
So this was a colony that left from Cornwall and set up in Brittany, sort of post-Roman era.
So you also get the adjective medwá, which is derived from the noun,
and underlies the old Irish maith, which is strong or intoxicating.
And in the Welsh, you get medw, which means drunk.
and so you can see that this see the thing that i like about the the welsh is that you can see
the component word so for example meth means the mead you have methu which is intoxicated
there’s a herbal remedy called methaglin and which that’s got quite a history to it seems to be a bit
of a watered down version of it these days but when you’re reading the old text it does seem to
be more of like a herbal kind of remedy and then the doctor is actually a methig so you can see
how the component it has connotations associated with healing and also intoxication and that’s
where um the crossover seems to be because um Maeve’s daughter Findavar some people actually
link um that name with Guinevere because in the Welsh it’s pronounced Gwynhwyvar so it’s slightly
different in the welsh and in the old welsh and the old irish there’s there’s this kind of
connection which some people say exists it makes me think that that um pulaskian they think maybe
the proto-indo-european was pulaskian or something um it makes me think that this overlap between
the mycenaean digamma and medois uh versus medea versus your um britons and counts welsh
irish using this very same root it makes me think that somehow that’s older and it’s coming through
linguistically it’s coming through different branches i wonder do you think what do you
think of the magic angle of all of this because aren’t don’t all of these women have magical
powers yeah for sure so there’s there’s a few kind of areas that link from mave so you have um a
goddess kind of aspect you also have a sovereignty aspect and you also just have the um hers like a
ruler and a a healer and ev all of the meetings that take place um the large meetings they always
occur in the mead hall as well so that’s kind of like her her space if she’s the uh the mead woman
which is what they believe her name means so this is where all the meetings take place in the mead
hall and um with regards to the magic there’s there’s definitely inclinations to that in the
text um especially as you have one there’s one text which actually mentions that um kukulon’s
chariot rider he actually it says has a mantle made of raven’s feathers which was given to him
by simon magus so there’s and then there’s these other kind of sections where because
cuckoo and he’s kind of like a hero figure and he you know he basically slaughters everybody that
he comes across but he goes into these frenzies these rages and he often mentions this kind of
an underlying meaning to the text you can tell you know for example um if you find one so one of the
four tellings uh regarding kukulane this is what it says fair of deeds the man i see wounded saw
is his fair skin on his brow shines the hero’s light victory’s seat is in his face seven gems
of champions brave deck the center of his orbs his eyes naked are the spears he bears and he hooks a
red cloak around noblest faces he i see he respects all womankind young the lad and fresh
his hue with a dragon’s form in in fight so that’s just an example of um of how he’s described and
there are actually a couple of um of sooths so in the feast of rikriu you have um three champions
and they’re basically they’re all in a competition to see who’s the greatest champion
and it kind of escalates as the story goes along and eventually they decide to go to
maven allele’s castle to see who can prove themselves to be worthy of the champion’s portion
which is kind of like a prize so these three charities they’re all racing towards the castle
and um and maeve asks findavar um to describe the chariot and she says i see another chariots
coming along the plane give us its description quoth meve i see in sooth so this is a soothsayer
which is kind of almost like a prophecy it’s the kind of sea with a second sight and basically she
describes the horse coming and then um when you get onto the description of cuckoo this is what
they have to say in the chariot a sad melancholy man comeliest of the men of erin around him a soft
crimson pleasing tunic fastened across the breast where it stands open with the salmon brooch of
inlaid gold against which his bosom heaves beating in full strokes and then it goes to describe
in great detail his horses and then it says set in each of his eyes eight red dragon gemstones
his two cheeks blue white and blood red he emits sparks of fire and burning breath
with a ray of love in his look a shower of pearls may thinketh have fallen into his mouth each of
his two eyebrows as black as the side of a black spit on his two thighs rests his golden hilted
sword and fastened to the copper frame of the chariot is his blood red spear it goes on and
just describes him but you can basically i can i can tell here that there’s an underlying theme
there’s a there’s a second meaning to this script in my opinion and i can kind of see some of the
images that i get from from your work and from what i’ve seen from your presentations
what do you what do you think all boy about the prophetic side so you’ve got that tradition of
in monmouth’s work of merlin being that prophet right somehow somehow he has stepped outside
and he’s able to have this uncanny ability to understand the future in in the present
so he’s always he’s beyond everybody’s reach that oracular power of the sybil is associated
with with specific drug cult ritual so i guess what i’m asking is does this thing just thrive
in nature do we just have it coming over and over are we perpetuating a priesthood through time
or is this something that just spontaneously um erupts how is merlin that oracular prophet how
has he captured that role so much so that the prophets that the prophets the diascorides are
talking about um are are claiming that these are their base powers these drugs are their base
powers so is merlin when uh first of all is merlin a drug user and second of all what’s the real
power of prophecy here and is it natural is it just coming up or is it some kind of you know
some kind of perpetuation of a priestly thing so in jeffrey of monmouth’s work it’s it’s clearly
seen as a really important aspect of the community as well i suppose because one of the uh the kings
he’s desperate to get merlin back he takes off into the woods and jeffrey of monmouth himself
is clearly familiar with the the greek classics um i’ve seen people describe his vita merlin it’s
actually written in um in hexameter from what i’ve seen and he mentions and cites quite a lot
of these works such as ovid um epistles from pontus things like this and he compares merlin
to silenus to some degree in the life of merlin and he takes off into the woods because he doesn’t
want anything to do with money people he just wants to live in the woods with the animals and
and the trees and nature and he’s obsessed with his uh with his apple trees so there’s also always
mention of these apples and um actually avalon where arthur later goes when he’s when he’s
wounded is that comes from the avalon comes from the word apple as well it means the isle of apples
so there’s always these mention of the apples as well so i i personally do believe that there was
drug use going on and um there was an early writer called uh camden i believe if memory serves
and he actually says that the uh the celtic bellus or belliness um comes from hembain because
the welsh language funnily enough also kind of letters mutate so the beginning of a word the
letter can change a bit like in the greek you know how it tunes the the words when they run into each
each other so they sound better the welsh kind of does the same and a contraction of bellin would
be melon which means yellow so it’s something to do with this yellow bright god and um and
obviously belting the burning these big fires the worshiping the god uh bell so i think looking at
the uh the cultures as well where the scene is you know breathing in this this fumigation and
taken on the qualities of the deity you know it does seem it seems to tick the
boxes for me personally anyway yeah nice gorgeous gorgeous it always comes back
to those apples of the disparities doesn’t it and it’s almost as if nature
has a has a state that you can discover that you can go there and discover and
that you have clues along the way and it’s putting it together and finding it
And all of a sudden, when you found that, you get weird things like this great healer, right?
When you said Merlin takes Arthur there, right?
He takes him to be healed, right, to her.
So, I mean, there’s a reason that Cersei kills Odysseus and brings him back to life, right?
And Lycafron is the one who brings that in.
So there’s something about these.
I’ve often wondered, oh boy, if it is not the case that through time, the Sybil propagates herself
and that the Romans weren’t as crazy as we thought they were because they said that very thing.
Even the smarty Greeks with their Heraclitus understood the power of the propagation of the
Sibyl? Was it a fact that she lived over a thousand years? Was it a fact that she always
appeared to be a teenager? Was it a fact that she gave the laws that start our civilization?
And I mean us, modern, on both sides of the pond, right? That civilization, we are what we are
because of these traditions. And these traditions, look at the Hinbein, these traditions are rooted
and some advanced pharmacology um that holds great promise for medicine if if you can take
a substance like scopolamine or atropine um and under the right circumstances you can cause
somebody to enter that maniac phase and then bring them out of it and they achieve some sort of
re-circuit ring re re re circuitizing um reorganization reorientation of the brain i
don’t know what it is the the neuro guys will figure it out but but yeah there’s something
there’s something there that we can’t we can’t overlook this oh boy um thank you for coming
tonight and i know that i’ll have much demand to bring you back please continue this research
i want to be i want to be creating a history for us here where we can see the movements of these
things i had somebody just asked me today what happened that you know it when the sibyls failed
when they when it the flame died out the iraqi flame died out and christianity took over um and
oppress that movement is that where we lost progress medically is that where we slowed
ourselves down yeah with this history nobody nobody studies this stuff but now that they found
the they found the henbane thank goodness they found him because i thought this was i thought
this wasn’t going to be sexy at all but now now it’s totally sexy filters can i ask you one last
question and then i’m gonna go i’m i’m i’ll be at the meeting tonight um on lady babylon but
i wanna i wanna ask you this what is the sex connection everything you’ve been reading about
what have you gotten just like a general sense of the sex connection yeah it’s it’s definitely
there because um if you look at at may of herself um it looks like she had nine husbands and you
actually you had to marry her to become the king and the deal was sealed with a with an offer from
a from a cup um from a chalice so and even in the texts for example she’s not married to cullen but
um when when he comes she knows he’s going to be he’s got this rage so she does everything to
placate him they bring out thrice and 50 women this is a a number that crops up time and time
again thrice and fifty and um and then she but she spends the night with him herself as well
even though her husband’s in the castle so you know she’s spending that time with him and it
says in the text as well he gets the uh the champions reward which is a drink from a chalice
some wine and she gives him a dragon stone as well and it says the size of both of his eyes and then
i’ve been to a few um of these old buildings these old aristocratic houses just in england
and i have seen images of um of the man feeding from the breast as well so you know
there’s people who who are definitely trying to preserve this anyway definitely yeah and uh we
didn’t get there tonight but in that okay so if we know that the sexuality is part part and parcel
of the whole foundation of the right um and the kings and the passing on of power right all that
kind of stuff right it’s all there all the way back to georgia where we’re talking about um
kingdoms yeah definitely um could it be could it be i i hate to keep pushing this because people
don’t they don’t want to talk about it but could it be that they were doing they found something
that they were doing something medically that was sexual and involved drugs that’s just uh
because of our weird kind of perverted history that we don’t we can’t look at it for what it
is is there any hope this is a i’ll ask is there any hope all boy for for um bringing back the
the sex right without without cracking the ceiling of the universe you know what i mean
i think definitely i think definitely there’s a way to do it i think it’s it’s down to understanding
as well really and i think you know you present that idea to to somebody who hasn’t got the
context and the background and you know they’re probably it would seem quite abstract to them but
certainly when you’re reading these these mythologies and these texts it just seems
you know people didn’t kind of bat an eyelid to that kind of thing you know cullen’s wife
she’s letting him go off and do these types of things so i think there’s definitely scope
think it’s just getting a bit more of an understanding out there you know to a wider
audience it’s just a matter of time before we we have fetal communion fetal communion that will
enable us to fend off certain diseases enable us to live longer healthier lives maybe less
inflammatory lives something something um anti-carcinogenic you know something something
that gives us you know why did they hold up this serpent why did they follow these traditions why
is this the thing that has been more influential right you we think that we’re in a judeo-christian
society i hear people talk about that all the time you can talk about monotheist society
you talk about the west um but that still obscures the fact that our entire history is not about
nations and peoples it’s about a right and it’s about the use of a right the jews the orthodox
jews and the christians the fundamentalists they know they have an inst instinct because it’s
baked into their own foundations i love this i love this let’s bring lady babylon uh back and
all boy um we’ll do that you and i will bring her back how’s that yeah let’s make waves doing it
yeah let’s get on it all right all right thanks for coming tonight and thanks to everybody for
being here and thanks to all boy who is our new star uh hail satan thank you drinking whiskey
