The Secret Cipher of Allen Greenfield

After a bit of a hiatus, we've returned with a (great) beast of an episode. The legendary Allen Greenfield joins us to discuss all things Occult, O.T.O., and Secret Ciphers. Allen is a revolutionary occultist who famously discusses the links between magical ritual and the UFO phenomenon. He is the author of many books, including most famously 'The Secret Cipher of the Ufonauts'. He recently made a splash on the Para-occult investigation series 'Hellier', and he a whole load of fun to talk to. The interview ran long, so we've split in two, so look out for the next part dropping next week. Joining me in the co-host chair is the mysterious yet approachable Ulysses Black. Main theme by Simon Smerdon (Mothboy) Music bed by chriszabriskie.com Allen Greenfield Bio (via tallengreenfield.com): T Allen Greenfield (the "T" or "Tau" being a customary title given to an esoteric prelate in the Doinel lineage upon their consecration) is a native of Augusta, Georgia, USA. With relatively brief sojourns in Tampa, Florida, Tucson, Arizona, and Key West, Florida, he has lived much of his life thus far in Atlanta. By the age of sixteen, he had become a world traveler, and has visited many countries all over the globe in the years since, from France to French Polynesia; from Canada to Venezuela; Greece to Grenada, Israel to Indiana. He is a long-time student of esoteric spirituality and Gnosticism, a study he began in 1960. A past (elected) member of the British Society for Psychical Research, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) (from 1960), etc., he has twice been the recipient of the "UFOlogist of the Year Award" of the National UFO Conference (1972 and 1992), which has run continuously on an annual basis for 41 years. He is a Borderland Science Research Associate (BSRA). He has personally conducted on site UFO abduction investigations in Brooksville, FL; Pascagoula, MS; and Brown Mountain, NC. He considers the UFO phenomenon to be a "signal" from the Collective Unconscious that the neglect of a magical spirituality by society as a whole is a cause of emotional plague and social disaster.
