Liminal CurrentsDavid Beth on Kosmic Gnosis, Heidegger and working with the deadDavid Beth is not a man to mince words. He speaks the Truth as he experiences it. He also just happens to be damn nice, incredibly wise and articulate. David is the author of Voudon Gnosis, and multiple essays and articles. He also runs Theion Press and speaks at many conferences worldwide. As you can probably tell by the length of the episode, David has a lot to share and this conversation was a blast to be a part of.
