In this episode of Brothers of the Arcana, hosts Alex Aldea and Dave Ferrigno sit down with P.D. Newman — esotericist, author, and tarot expert — to explore the hidden connections between Tarot, Esotericism, Golden Dawn traditions, Kabbalah, Psychedelics, Freemasonry, and Spirituality.From the power of intuition in tarot reading to the role of entheogens in mystical experiences, Newman takes us deep into the language of the universe — symbols, rituals, and the pursuit of esoteric knowledge. He also shares how a near-death experience shaped his spiritual outlook, discusses the role of psychoactive plants in Masonic rituals, and reveals why empowering younger Masons is vital for the future of Freemasonry.Whether you’re drawn to tarot reading, astrology, personal growth, or the mysteries of the Golden Dawn, this conversation will expand your understanding of the unseen forces shaping our lives.📖 Key Topics & TakeawaysTarot as a mirror for self-reflectionThe Golden Dawn’s esoteric influence on tarotWhy intuition matters more than rigid systemsSkepticism & misconceptions around tarotEntheogens and altered states of consciousnessDMT, spirits, and entities — subjective or real?The decline of wisdom in modern spiritualityFreemasonry as a reflection of societyPsychedelics in Masonic rituals & symbolismThe power of symbols and language in shaping reality📺 Chapters01:17 Introduction to Tarot & Esotericism04:25 Understanding Tarot: A Primer11:37 The Golden Dawn and Tarot Traditions19:46 Skepticism and Acceptance of Tarot24:19 Exploring Entheogens and Spirituality32:37 Exploring Trance States and Visual Phenomena37:06 Entities in Psychedelic Experiences41:42 DMT, Aliens & Metaphysical Knowledge49:14 Freemasonry as a Reflection of Society55:33 Empowering the Next Generation of Masons57:35 A Lightning Strike & Near-Death Experience01:05:41 Psychedelics in Masonic Rituals01:10:33 Angelic Encounters & Acacia in Freemasonry01:16:39 Language, Theurgy & The Power of Words01:21:41 The Power of Words and Language01:30:07 Current Projects & Future Workshttps://t.co/IoAa0okBRGPD's Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/dionysus.zagreus.71PD's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p.d.newman/?hl=enPD's X: https://x.com/PD_Newman🔔 Support & SubscribeIf you enjoy deep conversations on Tarot, Spirituality, Esotericism, Freemasonry, and Psychedelics, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe to Brothers of the Arcana.👉 Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrsF82SPRffV7nDFEwcSwCA🌐 Connect with Us: https://linktr.ee/brothersofthearcana🔥 Hashtags#tarot #esotericism #goldendawn #kabbalah #astrology #spirituality #freemasonry #psychedelicscience #tarotreading #Entheogens #personalgrowth #ArcanaPodcast #pdnewman #brothersofthearcana
