Thank you to both channels for helping me to become a realized being, I truly enjoy both aspects on the channels. Please do not stop making such brilliant videos because my attainment became possible with the help of Esoterica & Foolish Fish!
If I was stranded on a deserted Island the one book I would bring with me would be "How to survive on a deserted stranded island" Excellent interview, so glad you two decided to do this - I can't wait to watch the 2nd part where you are interviewed. Thank you both!
I literally just found Foolish Fish's channel a few days ago, and now I find this jewel with 2 people I adore very dearly, for giving me hope in humanity. Thank you.
You two are my favorite TH-camrs for the esotericism. This was excellent. I've learned more from you two and gotten more leads to past eras literature in the last year or so, than I found in 40+ years of my own sleuthing. Thank you and Bless you Justin Sledge and Foolish Fish guy.
It really is the crossover to end all crossovers! It was a joy to watch this, and the same goes for Dr. Sledge's interview with you. You are both supremely talented at communicating your knowledge to a wider audience. And you both come across as two very warm, open and thoughtful people, qualities which make these interviews all the more generative and enriching to watch. Thank you both for all that you do.
another comment as a side note (exciting!): when I watched your most recent upload a few hours ago you had 99.8K subs, and now after returning to finish this vid I refreshed and you have 99.9K! Almost there, I'm so happy for you!
My favorite channels ever in TH-cam: foolish fish, Esoterica, let's talk religion, Arcana les mystères du monde. Thank you poisson for this. T'es incroyable cher ami.
Thank you so much for this interview! I love interviews because not only they inform us on different topics but we get to see more of the "natural" side of the people involved in it. I started with the Esoterica part where you mention that this one is the first part so I decided to come here first. Thanks a bunch for the list of books mentionned in the interview! Now, I'm running off to watch Dr. Jutin Sledge interviewing you ! 😊
My Lord, talk about a match made in the Watkins Rare Books section (my version of heaven)! Thank you Denis and Justin for this gift, a crossover from two of my favourite channels!
This is for you also, re: Tibetan Buddhism. A way into studying it. My graduate school guide was Dr. Reginald Ray. He writes with great clarity. You may have already checked out his works. While I haven't read his books on somatic meditation and that aspect of things, for sure the two you will zip through even though they're not short: "Secret of the Vajra World: The Tantric Buddhism of Tibet" and "Indestructible Truth: The Living Spirituality of Tibetan Buddhism". You're welcome! Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for this interview! I must confess i haven’t heard of Dr. Justin Sledge and i just looked at his channel and Wow!… I immediately subscribed his channel.
I cant even express how excited this makes me. I watch almost no tv or youtube, 90% of what i watch is the two of you, so this is making me feel like a kid in a candy store. After a hard week, this is the medicine i needed. And seeing there theres TWO OF THESE VIDEOS?! What a gift.
Didn't know this interview existed and I am ecstatic. Dr. Sledge was of the first academic sources that I found on youtube for the occult and I've been watching his stuff ever since. Love this. P.S. I respect his ability to read all of this stuff and still resist trying to practice any of it, haha.
Hey hey! Thank you so much for doing this. When I was watching the live stream of Esoterica and you were on and suggested a channel cross over I got super excited! You two have the most watched channels in my household. We appreciate you and Dr. Sledge!
Dr. Sledge nailed it on Jung. Not so much the archtype but the technical aspect of the Hermetica has been ignored too much in light of Jung’s popularism.
Been a subscriber of both Esoterica and Foolish Fish for some time now. Esoterica has been great for an in-depth academic standpoint. Dr. Sledge shows his amazing breadth of knowledge in every video. Everything is always succinctly explained yet always pleasantly lighthearted. At Foolish Fish, I've also found incredibly insightful information but from a more practical standpoint which is equally amazing. This was definitely a pleasant surprise! Please continue making this much-needed content!
I could never put into words how much joy it brings me to see a materialist and an idealist be able to sit down and converse in such a respectful manner. Far too often people from these two camps seem to be able to do nothing but argue and disrespect the views of the other. I would also like to thank both of you for all the thoughtful and insightful videos that each of you have produced. I can say with total confidence that my life is better because of the content that has been produced be each of you. Bravo, gentlemen!
It seems that a love of weird books can overcome all philosophical barriers 😄. Jokes aside, Justin is a gentleman and a star and I count myself a very lucky man to have the privilege of thinking of him as a new friend.
Justin has such a friendly relaxed manner, it's hard not to be, precisely, "really chill"! :D Thank you so much for watiching and for your kind words :)
Thank you both for mentioning Hackett Publishing, whom I've never heard of before. It has been a very interesting and satisfying cross over discussion.
I’m laughing and having scenes flash through my brain of Joe Vs. The Volcano with the Luggage being filled with books for ya’ll! Fun interview with a tremendous interaction of two gifted individuals. Thanks, guys! Many blessings!
I am so blessed to have watched two of my favorite content makers come together to have such a delightful conversation! Much love to both of you. May you both prosper and continue doing the work that we all love so much! Blessings unending to you both. So mote it be.
A year ago or so after having watched the first couple of Esoterica videos I left a comment that contained two parts: Expressions of gratitude, and asking if he would perhaps consider doing an episode on the history of the Tarot! :D So refraining from any sort of requests like that I'll just leave it at letting you know how much I'm smiling while listening to you two. Thank you both for sharing. Subscribed and looking forward to exploring your content!
So happy to have been able to be virtually involved with the packing process currently going on at Anathema Publishing! I'm extremely excited to see that beautiful print close up! Best wishes to you, Gabriel! 🤩
There's a lot of Tarot history prior to 1950... really, almost all. The strange walk from the 'Tarot of the Egyptians' to the Qabalistic Tarot of Mathers is a walk through 19th c occultism, mostly in France. Great set of interviews!
Oh my god! Can't wait to be off work to watch this! Two of my favorite channels joining forces? WHAT?! :D Love, deep appreciation and gratitude from Canada!
I more than recommend the rabbi's tarot to the both of you. it is an incredibly comprehensive and in depth guide to just the major arcana. it gives incredibly in depth descriptions to the cards and what I find even more interesting is it talks extensively about the symbolism within the Hebrew language and essentially what each character represents and the overall process described by them
Thank you for this. I really enjoyed this all the way through. I hit the like button on his hot take. When he spoke honestly about Jung I got the giggles.
When Justin mentioned computer programming made me think of a few fictional book series where programmers are magicians, and fun reads for me as a programmer: The Wizardry series by Rick Cook, starting with Wizard's Bane The "Off to Be the Wizard" series by Scott Meyer
Ahhhhh!!!! I love you both! Heading over to Dr. Sledge's channel to check out the counterpart now! Also my bf is a linguist and I can't wait to get him that book of roots, he's gonna flip, great recommendation. Edit - if you put a reader together I would get it, that's a great idea. Or, and this would be huge, but like an annotated bibliography of occult texts.
One question i would have loved to see: I was wondering if Dr. Sledge "believes" in magick. I know he's not a practitioner and his views are usually neutral or on the skeptic side. But that little detail seems pretty huge to me 😂
@@TheEsotericaChannel I don't want to sound rude, but I want to understand how studying esotericism and magic for years, being into parapsyhology as a kid and having in depth conversations with practitioners while also believing that the practices themselves don't work makes any sense.
@@churka5984 I believe they have a psychological impact. I also deeply respect a wide range of religious people despite being a non- theist materialist. Disagreement does not imply lack of respect and even admiration.
2 of my favourite channels! Informative, inciteful and unexpectedly, with some laugh out loud moments!... Thank you to you both. So many other books for the list also.
LmAO Being In Time👀 “I know you’re talking about me” I actually had to pause the vid because I was laughing too much while cutting potatoes for my potato gratin
This is fantastic. The lack of interviews and collaborations on magic youtube has always left me somewhat... is morose too strong a word? It's the best fit - but no longer! Thanks, to both of you! And congratulations on 100k!
Amazing! It makes me so happy seeing you two together. You’ve both had a massive impact on my spiritual and intellectual path in the last year. Dr. Justin Sledge has that type of intellect that is hard to fathom. At least I can say I know a bit more about one little area than him. That is until he becomes an expert and uploads a video. Haha. So much love for both of you
@Foolish Fish + @Esoterica...A dynamic duo in action! I respect Dr. Sledge's views on Carl Jung's misapplication of alchemy as a spiritual practice...not so sure I agree with him though. The question: are there texts or scrolls on spiritual alchemy that were around prior to the days of Carl Jung? My understanding has always been that material and spiritual alchemy are interrelated...they go hand in hand...in order for a base metal to transmute into gold, the practitioner's spirit or soul must also become pure enough. I came upon this understanding long before I even heard of Carl Jung. Segue: anyone here remember coding in Fortran or Cobol? :)

When Justin mentioned computer programming made me think of a few fictional book series where programmers are magicians, and fun reads for me as a programmer:
The Wizardry series by Rick Cook, starting with Wizard's Bane
The "Off to Be the Wizard" series by Scott Meyer
The Shin Megami Tensei series started from a short story about a programmer summoning demons. They have come a long way since the NES days.
It's quite impressive to me how someone could be so learned in occultism and not be a practitioner.
Having an academic interest can be just that.

I actually had to pause the vid because I was laughing too much while cutting potatoes for my potato gratin
Thanks, lots of value, highly recommend the quality of content👍🏼
Thank you "Foolish Fish" and Dr. Justin Sledge.
The multiverse of knowledge!
This is fantastic. The lack of interviews and collaborations on magic youtube has always left me somewhat... is morose too strong a word? It's the best fit - but no longer! Thanks, to both of you! And congratulations on 100k!
I do have him on my subscription.love both of you guys.
Amazing! It makes me so happy seeing you two together. You’ve both had a massive impact on my spiritual and intellectual path in the last year.
Dr. Justin Sledge has that type of intellect that is hard to fathom. At least I can say I know a bit more about one little area than him. That is until he becomes an expert and uploads a video. Haha.
So much love for both of you
@Foolish Fish + @Esoterica...A dynamic duo in action! I respect Dr. Sledge's views on Carl Jung's misapplication of alchemy as a spiritual practice...not so sure I agree with him though. The question: are there texts or scrolls on spiritual alchemy that were around prior to the days of Carl Jung? My understanding has always been that material and spiritual alchemy are interrelated...they go hand in hand...in order for a base metal to transmute into gold, the practitioner's spirit or soul must also become pure enough. I came upon this understanding long before I even heard of Carl Jung. Segue: anyone here remember coding in Fortran or Cobol? :)
Two channels that I’m in love with!❤️💜💙💚💛
Thank you for watching, @Kirk! :D
