This week we begin our in-depth exploration of the 1967 series that changed TV forever: Patrick McGoohan's masterpiece, "The Prisoner".

Surreal, clever, gripping, beautiful, groundbreaking, and career-ending, this series broke television's rules and forever elevated the medium of episodic television to new heights. Cited as a major inspiration for J.J. Abrams' Lost (and with a series finale that made people even angrier than Hurley being the stupid island), this show is positively infamous. With good cause, too. Nothing can prepare you for the vibes, the psychological mindf*ckery, the costumes.

Originally airing out of the intended episode order, and with no official canonical sequence, we have opted to follow along in sequence with the following youtube channel which has the entire series for free and in good quality.

Everything's coming up snakes!

In this episode we explore Tyler's unique connection to a class of ancient serpentine beings known in the Vedas as the Naga.

They're deeply connected to the waters that shape the earth, the land itself, and the elements, stretching into the depths of primordial deep-time and the origins of humanity as we know it.

Tyler shares some of his incredible and wild experiences with us regarding these awe-inspiring beings, his initiatory relationships with them, and how they have shaped his life and practice. We talk shop about the differences between amulets, East and West, and how Thai magic dramatically opens up the possibilities for variety in enchanted objects, in both function and in formula.

Tyler also gives us the rundown on four Naga oils he has been working on for a good while which he is preparing to release to the public very soon in exchange for donations, all four of which sound fantastic. All of Tyler's work at Cormorant Cunning Craft is donation-based and he offers group ceremonies often, which we here at Soapbox recommend! Follow him for updates and details.
