Key topics
  • In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon.

  • Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone.
  • The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda.
  • They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom.
  • Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations.
  • They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.
