Hi Rudolf,
I received a link to your podcast from a good friend of mine as he thought this podcast would give me some inspiration regarding the esoteric work that I’m practicing. I must admit that I have no knowledge about magic or esotericism, but I am very interested in practicing esoteric work. I have recently been practicing mirror scrying using Jean Dubuis’s fundamentals of esoteric knowledge, but I havent been succeeding it quite well. My friend suggested that listening to Josephine McCarthy would give me great information about western esotericism. Thank you for this podcast, I really appreciate it!
Kind Regards,
Flora
Thank you, FLora! I am glad that your friend gave you that hint, and especially that it helped you. Hope you will stay with us listening for a long time!
