At this point I'd be happy with quarterly episodes. Your show is brilliant and touches on topics that are seldom explored in a public forum these days.

I wish I could reassure them that divination was traditional practice at least until the Inquisition or maybe Luther. These texts look nice and pious. I do not believe the Tarot is heretical. Altho partly pagan, partly Christian it is not evil or forbidden by scripture. :) Anna</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://chasinghermes.com/2010/01/25/15-magic-in-ancient-greece.aspx#comment-11433902</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:15:50 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment on #10: Seven Alchemical Principles, part 2 (40:10)</title><link>http://chasinghermes.com/2009/06/21/10-seven-alchemical-principles-part-2.aspx#comment-11403607</link><dc:creator>Christel Mckee</dc:creator><description>I went over this website and I conceive you have a lot of good information, saved to bookmarks (:.&lt;br /&gt;Some genuinely nice and useful info on this website, likewise I believe the design has got  great features.&lt;br /&gt;Perfectly composed articles, Really enjoyed looking through.&lt;br /&gt;I like this web site so much, bookmarked.&lt;br /&gt;Some truly nice stuff on this internet site, I  it.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://chasinghermes.com/2009/06/21/10-seven-alchemical-principles-part-2.aspx#comment-11403607</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Aug 2011 00:39:21 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment on Suggestion box</title><link>http://chasinghermes.com/2009/03/04/let-us-know-what-you-think.aspx#comment-11181955</link><dc:creator>Alchemic Duck</dc:creator><description>Hello, very enlightening podcast!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My recommendation would be to discuss the topic of animals and plants as part of the alchemic process of earth.

It would be safe to say that my spirituality is Egyptian Neoplatonism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I'd like to add here regarding creatio ex nihilo in regards to both Neoplatonists and Christians is that they both agree on the idea. However, for the Neoplatonists to suggest that the One creates ex nihilo is to say that the One differentiates Himself, in a topological sense the One is non-observable and hence Nothing. God in emanating Himself, differentiates Himself in processing the Many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Christians on the other hand understand the idea that God creates from "nothing" in opposition to creating from pre-existing matter. It is an act of divine fiat. The difference here is that God is not identified with the unobservalbe and unintelligible One as Nothing. This is why you have the Creator/Creature distinction in christianity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neoplatonism has alway found that this understanding smacks of dualism and philosophically unjustifiable. Hence, if God creates from Nothing, what is to individuate God from Nothing? Neoplatonistis have always understood the question in a topological sense and therefore resulting in much more philosphical refinement. Immanence and Transcedence are identical in Neoplatonism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only caviat here gentleman is that certain Eastern Christians, notably Copts and Eastern Orthodox christians (Maximus the Confessor, Gregory Palamas), seem to have a middle position if not even a close approximation to the Neoplatonic position, due to there inheritance of the Neoplatonist "Psuedo-Dionysius," who I think is a certain, very lofty Pagan Neoplatonist (a teacher in a very high place) in his day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for this program and website.</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://chasinghermes.com/2010/02/20/-16-neoplatonism-and-the-theurgy-of-iamblichus.aspx#comment-10757230</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jun 2011 14:17:59 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment on #11: Good and Evil (34:42)</title><link>http://chasinghermes.com/2009/09/09/good-and-evil.aspx#comment-10436208</link><dc:creator>CatsFriends</dc:creator><description>Where can I read more about this?</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://chasinghermes.com/2009/09/09/good-and-evil.aspx#comment-10436208</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Jun 2011 13:09:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment on Update: Gone to the lab</title><link>http://chasinghermes.com/2009/05/21/update-gone-to-the-lab.aspx#comment-10355759</link><dc:creator>Aesthetics</dc:creator><description>Do not quite understand, do you transfer your texts</description><guid isPermaLink="true">http://chasinghermes.com/2009/05/21/update-gone-to-the-lab.aspx#comment-10355759</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jun 2011 15:17:01 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
