A throwback to 20 years ago tonight, as 1999 became 2000 at Apocalypse in Cardiff. Mark Devlin on the decks and Kid Fury on the mic. (And yes, I now know that 2000 was’t the real start of the new millennium!)
Q&A VIDEO SESSION, DECEMBER 2019
One last Q&A session for the year where I give my thoughts on some questions posed to me over the months.

GOOD VIBRATIONS PODCAST, VOL. 149: RYAN GABLE – THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF CHRISTMAS
The last GV episode of the year – a highly symbolic release for the Winter Solstice.
As Kate Bush remarked in her song, ‘December will be magic(k) again.’ Sure enough, here most of us are acting out the same strange rituals we do every year at this time, but with few of us ever questioning the symbolic relevance of them, or their origins.
On hand to shed some light is Ryan Gable, occult scholar, author of the book ‘Occult Arcana,’ and host of the five-times-weekly ‘Secret Teachings’ radio show. Ryan guides us through the eclectic customs from past cultures that shape the traditions of Christmas that have survived into these times – the Winter Solstice, Roman Saturnalia, the Cult of Mithras, Northern European Yule, Odin and his eight-legged horse Sleipnir, Chronos/ Father Time/ The Grim Reaper, Dutch Sinter Klaas, Hanika and Kwanza.
We also touch on the internal alchemical process of the raising of the Chrism oil, and the ancients’ ingestion of red and white spotted mushrooms which may be one of the inspirations for the gift-giving Father Christmas.
No-one, however, can explain why it’s necessary to endure Wham!, Mariah Carey, Slade and Cliff Richard every time you walk into a shop in December.
