Chicken Philosophy is a YouTube channel and Podcast in which Edward, Gwydion, Frater BT & sometimes Pymander Aquarian read and discuss, alternately, Carl Jung's Black Books, The Nag Hammadi, The Divine Pymander, The I Ching, and Ibn Arabi's Meccan Revelations. Other books we have read on Chicken Philosophy in the past and finished include The Arbatel of Magic, Teilhard de Chardin's Divine Milieu, Ashtavakra Gita, "Transformations" by John Dan Reib, The Secret of the Golden Flower, The Ninety-Five Theses and Other Writings of Martin Luther, and Tao Te Ching.
Chicken Philosophy Calendar: edward-reib.com/chickenphilosophycalendar.pdf (Just print it in high quality color on glossy paper and tape it to the inside of your cubical at work, and when your co-workers ask you about it, BOOM! another Chicken Philosopher, maybe. If you want.)
