This week we are joined by Ben Stimpson, an upcoming author who's book centres on Ancestor Veneration & Connection. In this episode we go deep into discussions of #indigenisation and #colonialism and notions of collective identity. We examine magic and ritual as a technology of memory that is inherent in the landscape and how to go about identifying with your own history, power and identity.

About my Channel:

I'm an archaeologist with a focus on Late Antique religion and Western Esotericism.. I'm currently pursuing a Masters in Egyptology & Middle Eastern Heritage at UCL. My research interests are around the ethics of the antiquities trade in the Middle East, especially the reception & exchange of religious texts. Welcome to my YouTube channel. I talk about ancient magic in the material record, theurgy & philosophy as well as theoretical approaches to the study of esotericism. I take special notice of Neoplatonism & Hermetism and make content relating to these currents using academic material. I hope to make education on these topics accessible and informative to help give people a sense of structure and depth in their spiritual practice.
