Ravenna Dame on The Return of Sophia
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioOct 15, 2026
Aeon Byte host Miguel Conner welcomes Ravenna 'Raven' Dame, a self-described 'Gnostic witch' who says she began channeling the Gnostic goddess Sophia after activating her third eye in February, following a stillbirth in 2024. Raven claims Sophia split her soul into many vessels to survive a war waged by 'the fallen' led by her son, the Demiurge, and has been asleep for 3,500 years. She describes herbal protocols she says were channeled from the gods, which Conner credits with improving his arterial disease, and the two promote a 'Tree of Life' AI app meant to guide users through spiritual awakening.
David Crawford on Near Death Experiences & How To Escape the Loosh Matrix
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 29, 2026
David Crawford, a former Zen monk raised on Gnostic ideas, describes a five-day near-death experience in 2024 after alcohol-induced bleeding varices nearly killed him. Instead of white light or angels, he found a shabby, bureaucratic overlay of his hospital staffed by indifferent 'psychopomps' who seemed intent on erasing his memory and pushing him into a new body. In his book 'A Manual for the Dead', he frames the afterlife as a soul-recycling system run by apathetic archon-like middle managers and offers four keys for keeping your sovereignty after death.
The Shaman Poet on Good Archons? Rethinking Gnosticism Through Channeling
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 16, 2026
Self-described Shaman Poet Rory Campbell Delgado joins Aeon Byte host Miguel Conner to argue that the Gnostic Archons are not evil, but a necessary part of Source that gives humanity something to awaken against. He describes 20 years of channeling some 250 beings, including an Andromedan guide named Anouk, Thoth, Mary Magdalene, and Aleister Crowley. During live channeling sessions, a voice presented as Sophia claims she will reincarnate as a girl in 2032, and a voice presented as Crowley claims he opened a portal he could never close.
Sunshine Witchski on The Spiritual Path to Sobriety
Aeon Byte Gnostic RadioSep 10, 2026
Recovering alcoholic and witch Sunshine Witschke joins host Miguel Conner, himself a recovering cocaine addict, to explore addiction as a spiritual crisis rather than only a physical or mental disease. She describes leaving traditional AA after her many higher powers of gods, ancestors, and spirits clashed with its Christian-tinged culture, and creating the Witch's 13 Steps to Recovery built on tarot, ritual, and community. The conversation weaves Gnostic and Buddhist ideas of illusion, Carl Jung's influence on the 12 steps, and Sunshine's claim that the American Dream is a Masonic-born egregore that has run out of control.
