Howling with writer and cultural commentator Angie Speaks about Carl Jung, Rudolf Steiner, spirituality, Sophia, A.I. and identity politics.
From the heights of celebrity to the corridors of tech power, the rationalist ideals of the modern age are being abandoned. In their place, we’re witnessing a revival of religion, mysticism, and the occult.
Why are figures like Kat Von D and Russell Brand converting to Catholicism? Why are Elon Musk and Peter Thiel funding esoteric research and invoking the arcane? Why are U.S. senators speaking in hushed tones about nonhuman intelligences under the cold glare of mainstream news cameras? This isn’t irony—it’s a crisis. In a world supposedly ruled by science and reason, belief is back with a vengeance.
Drawing on the insights of Carl Jung and the darker undercurrents of the digital age, this book decodes a culture turning inward—toward archetype, myth, and shadow. As the boundary between the rational and the irrational dissolves, Late-Stage Babylon offers a map for navigating the strange terrain of our post-secular future.
Tabitha (Angie) Baba-Ahmed, known as Angie Speaks, is a writer and video essayist. Her work has been featured in publications such as NewsWeek and Spiked Magazine and presently, she hosts  the thought-provoking podcast Mystic and the Machine. Delving deeper into cultural matters, her video essays, available on her YouTube channel Depth Diaries, offer an analytical and depth-psychology-driven exploration of contemporary issues.

Howling with depth psychologist and writer Elizabeth Nelson about myths of warrior women allies, bawdy crones, the healing power of humour and embodied sensuality.
“As homo faber, human beings are makers of many things—including the stories, poetry, songs, and images that comprise the great goddess tradition. We have a material record of Her presence for millennia, despite toxic patriarchy. We are also homo faber in our embodied actions that leave no material trace yet influence critical moments in someone’s story. Two fascinating goddesses—Inanna and Demeter—owe their being to the actions of a supposedly small or minor character, which only goes to show: there are no small parts, only small actors. This presentation explores two goddess makers: the warrior ally Ninshuber, who performed a pivotal role in Inanna’s release from the Sumerian underworld, and the crone/midwife/trickster Baubo, whose lascivious dance punctured Demeter’s paralyzing despair.”
— Elizabeth Nelson, Warrior Allies & Bawdy Crones

Howling with Jungian Analyst and writer Vladislav (Vlado) Šolc about the book he co-authored with George Didier, Dark Religion: Fundamentalism From The Perspective of Jungian Psychology
“Jungian analysts Vlado Šolc and George Didier set out to explore the psychological dynamics and causes of religious fundamentalism and fanaticism. The book offers an in-depth-psychological analysis of what happens when a person becomes possessed by the unconscious energies of the Self.  The book also reveals that spirituality is an inherent dimension and one of the most essential human needs. It only becomes “dark” when it ignores, or separates itself from its own vital roots.”

― Wendell Berry
"Man will continue to invent technologies outside of himself until he either destroys the world or realizes that everything he's created is an inferior copy of the technologies that exist within himself. The question is: which will come first?"
