Greg Kaminsky interviews C.M. Mayo about Metaphysical Odyssey
into the Mexican Revolution: Francisco I. Madero and His Secret
Book, Spiritist Manual.
"I found C.M. Mayo’s
book to be very engaging and well-written. This is not your typical
history, or even esoteric history book. Mayo is a profoundly
creative and insightful artist who is able to bring her own perspective
into the frame while enhancing our understanding of her subjects.
This is a masterful introduction to a topic that hasn’t
been explored in this accessible way before, and may never be
again. If you enjoy esotericism, history, politics, and the way
that they sometimes intersect, I highly recommend you read C.M.
Mayo’s Metaphysical
Odyssey into the Mexican Revolution."

C.M. Mayo Discusses
the Translation of Francisco I. Madero's Secret Book of 1911,
Spiritist Manual
Recorded at the PEN / Sol
Literary Magazine Reading Series event of February 22,
2012 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. C.M. Mayo introduces and
discusses her translation— the first into English—
of Francisco I. Madero's
secret book of 1911, Spiritist
Manual. Madero was the leader of Mexico's 1910 Revolution
and President of Mexico from 1911-1913. (Note: this is an abbreviated
version of the
longer podcast, which includes the reading by Gerard Helferich,
author of Stone of Kings.)
(APPROX 26 MINUTES)
Note: In this talk I
mention that I had not been able to find a copy of the original
Spanish edition, Manual Espírita, anywhere on-line.
Shortly after I posted this podcast I found
this free PDF download available from a Mexican government
website. It is also now available at the end of the translation
of my own book, Odisea
metafísica hacia la Revolución Mexicana: Francisco
I. Madero y su libro secreto, Manual espírita—
C.M. Mayo
***UPDATE: The
all-new book-length introduction, which includes important new
research, Metaphysical
Odyssey Into the Mexican Revolution: Francisco I. Madero and
His Secret Book, Spiritist Manual, was published in late
2013 in Kindle and 2014 in paperback. |

Podcast Series host Greg Kaminsky interviews Mitch Horowitz,
author of Occult America.
(While these three
interviews with Horowitz do not discuss Mexico nor Madero, they
provide an outstanding overview of developments in the19th and
20th century U.S. and many of the individuals who were important
direct or indirect influences on Madero. (More about Madero's
influences over at the
Q & A.) For those interested in more about esoteric traditions,
check out this in-depth
blog interview with Occult of Personality podcast host Greg
Kaminsky.)

Kardec
Radio hosted by Dr.
Vanessa Anseloni, offers podcasts of interviews and sermons on
Spiritism for the Spiritist community in English. From the podcasts
I've listened to to date, the ideas are very much in line with
those espoused by Madero in his Spiritist Manual. |
