Esoterica Magazine
Приєднався 25 жов 2021
Esoterica is a magazine for those not well equipped to quiet their brain, who inhale thoughtful articles and videos topics that hover near the periphery of popular culture and the news agenda and ruminate on them for weeks, much to the chagrin of their lovers, partners, and co-workers. Esoterica plans to democratize the publishing landscape, running work by veterans and newbies alike. It's a salon of big idea that will cater to an audience craving, well-thought out and articulated big ideas. As Leonard Cohen so poignantly wrote: “Somebody Said Lift That Veil.” Well, that someone is us. Welcome to Esoterica, the magazine that will bring your brain back to the post-pandemic world.

Leah's Picks Episode 1: In The Courtyard of the Kabbalist

“In the Courtyard of the Kabbalist” will take you back to Jerusalem, circa 1999, when a would-be rabbi, a hip ba’al t'shuvah and a Muslim custodian working on Al-Aqsa get wrapped up in the mystery of a missing archeological find. Oddly, it gave me hope for the future. This is the first of a new experiment: five minute book reviews. esotericamagazine.substack.com #fiction #bookrecommendations #b...

Still a Classic Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Переглядів 80Рік тому
In our third episode, Leah and Susan reread Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. We both read the book in college and both of us were surprised at how political the book was, tackling issues from economic disparity to religion to sexism. From today's perspective, we focused on female rage and how in many ways, not much has change in the 176 years since it's been published. Will it still be a classic...

I always enjoy Cara’s interviews on the Borden case. Thank you all!!
Thank you!
ah yes, Chelsea, my mother
He's never actually solved any cold case on his entire series though 😂
Very cool podcast.
P r o m o S M
I was lucky enough to get an advance copy through my work as a bookseller with Indigo and I really enjoyed the book. Congratulations on a great debut.
I've received my copy from Dundurn Press and I'm on Chapter 14 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. What a fantastic book! Well done Chelsea. You've hit the ball our of the park on your first novel. I can't wait to see what you write next.
PS. Prof Mike Arntfield is Canadian, Schlesinger is American and the UK has an excellent English forensic psychologist, former prison governor Professor David Wilson. Just saying. It's not always about America, even though they think so! (classic sociopathic, emotionally retarded behaviour....only joking!!).
Mike Arntfield is very good. As good as forensic psychologist Prof Louis Schlesinger in my opinion. He really understands why people commit some of the most terrible acts that a human being can do. Highly recommended listening to and reading him if you're interested in or studying this field. Thanks for posting this interview.

I would love someone like Dr Arntfield to review my brother’s mysterious death from 40 years ago. I just had someone come forward with new information that takes a new focus on old suspects that were ruled out. Only this time there’s a bad cop involved. Now I’m too afraid to go to the police with the newest information.
Just bought this book
Peter, I have everyone of your books! From London, On. And I Love the way you tell a story, but could you please do a story about Christian "Tex" Magee from Strathory ont! !!! 1968, 69
.May they continue to go after other Epstein associates like Courtney Love, who herself is going to trial soon for kidnap and attempted murder of her son in law, and trying to stage it as a suicide. She also knows Prince Andrew well.
This is a boring interview
Eye opening, very informative, hopefully many people will view this and come to a understanding of the use of psychedelics and how they could play an important part in treating mental health.....
Great insight but I don't buy for one second that he wasn't assassinated. Where are the prison tapes?
Good questions. I'll follow up with the author
