Gabriel recently began teaching occult symbolism and tarot on his Youtube channel, Slick Dissident. This guy has a huge range of knowledge to share and in this episode we kick off what will likely be many shows together, as we strengthen our skin to better live our dreams. Difficult to encapsulate in a description, our discussion demonstrates flow as we weave threads through martial arts, dance, tarot, Disney/Marvel, MK Ultra, the cult of castration, poetry, psychic self defense, dream analysis, and much more. It's one you won't soon forget.
