Erik Krogstad: Inside the Golden Dawn — Magick, Masonry & The Veil of Ashes (EP038)

"Masonry was never supposed to be that big. It was a fluke in the system — we're getting back to normal." Temple Chief Erik Krogstad of the Philadelphia Golden Dawn — 33° Freemason, former pro MMA fighter, and author of The Veil of Ashes — joins Alex Aldea and Dave Ferrigno for a conversation that runs from the inside of a working magical temple to fake gurus, "healed vs. scabbed over," the egregore test, alchemy hidden in Masonic ritual, and why no one is coming to save you.His debut novel carries forewords from three past guests of this show — Mark Stavish, Jaime Paul Lamb, and Michael Czech — which tells you the circles this conversation moves in.Find Erik: https://www.erikkrogstad.com | Substack: https://erikkrogstad.substack.com | Instagram: @erik.krogstad.authorWatch the video edition with chapters: https://youtu.be/NA2YwRi0W0YEvery episode + more: https://brothersofthearcana.com
