Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 22, 2026
Gnostic author Miguel Conner traces the vampire myth from the Mesopotamian night demon Lilith through Slavic heretic-revenants, colonial bloodsucker legends, and Bram Stoker's Dracula to Jack D. Forbes' concept of Wetiko, the 'cannibal psychosis' of greed. He argues that every age invents a vampire that mirrors its own fears, whether death, outsiders, disease, desire, or consumption. Using Jungian archetypes and Gnostic cosmology, he presents the vampire as the shadow made flesh and asks whether the parasitic forces feeding on humanity are outside us or within us.
Ravenna Dame on The Return of Sophia
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 15, 2026
Aeon Byte host Miguel Conner welcomes Ravenna 'Raven' Dame, a self-described 'Gnostic witch' who says she began channeling the Gnostic goddess Sophia after activating her third eye in February, following a stillbirth in 2024. Raven claims Sophia split her soul into many vessels to survive a war waged by 'the fallen' led by her son, the Demiurge, and has been asleep for 3,500 years. She describes herbal protocols she says were channeled from the gods, which Conner credits with improving his arterial disease, and the two promote a 'Tree of Life' AI app meant to guide users through spiritual awakening.
