110. Chris Knowles // Jack Kirby, Black Magick LARPs & the Siren of the Philosophers
Chris Knowles is the synchromystic mind behind The Secret Sun, a blog that should be required reading for any open-minded types out there.
Some of you are no doubt aware of Chris’s work on his blog, and if you’re not, you’ll get a crash course here. And just a crash course, not a deep dive. Because Chris is so much more than just his blog. He’s also the author or co-author of three books, the Eagle Award-winning “Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes”, “The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths, and the Movies”, and “The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll”. He’s also had a career in the advertising, publishing and entertainment fields.
All of that forms the basis for our chat here, about Jack Kirby, black magick LARPs, and if you’re on Patreon, the siren of the philosophers.
