6 - the Soul Spectacle

Today the lens of Showmanship becomes a microscope that looks deep into the nebulous connections between Showmanship and the mystical art of Alchemy. By looking at the two things side by side we can develop a more majestic and esoteric perspective on the frivolous art of Showmanship. In many ways the whole project of the Way of the Showman is to go beyond the first and simplest level of jokes and tricks. This episode dives deeper. We sail our Showmanship out onto the Sea of Illumination and struggle our way into our brass helmeted diving suit before letting ourselves sink down to the Abyssal Planes to seek for hidden and forgotten treasures.Some of the things I mention.The Clown Manifesto by Nalle LaaneleThe Lost Knowledge of the Imagination by Gary LachmanPhilosophers Stonethe book of the Law by Aleister CrowleySupport the show...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo.
