Rune Soup is about magic and animism. It is a podcast, it is this newsletter, and it is a thriving and welcoming premium member community of magical folk from right across the whole world who are interested in exploring animism, practical enchantment, manifestation, healing, intention work, synchronicities, gnosticism, fortune telling and just generally living more satisfactory lives using magic.
We cover all those topics and more -like shamanism, psychedelics, psi, culture, art, fortune telling, UFOs, entheogens, ancient mysteries, After Death research and all that good stuff- on the show, on the blog and in quarterly courses in the members area.
There’s often a strong chaos magic inflection to the whole thing because I refuse to admit the 90s have ended.
About Gordon
Well, mercy me! Yeah, all right. You can find some interviews with me here. You can check out my books here. You can book a shamanic healing session with me here.
What else? I have lived and travelled all over the world and moved onto a little permaculture farm in Southern Tasmania at the beginning of 2018.
I wrote this bio for my first appearance on the great Richard Hoagland’s The Other Side of Midnight. Waste not, want not, eh?
Australian by birth, Gordon White’s family has strong connections to the wider South Pacific thanks to his grandfather’s experience in colonial administration in Nauru and New Guinea. He spent much of his early years exploring and diving in Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia.
Gordon first became interested in western occultism at the age of thirteen, following a series of intense dream experiences, and this interest became a lifelong pursuit.
His esoteric leanings found an inspirational overlap with his exploration of the Pacific following the publication of Graham Hancock’s classic Fingerprint of the Gods. This led him to study documentary production at a university level, film an underwater documentary about Nan Madol and then go on to work for BBC Magazines, Discovery Channel and news media companies in both hemispheres.
After moving to London, he held senior data and analytics positions in global media companies, as well as starting a chaos magic blog and podcast called Rune Soup… which ultimately led to the publication of his first four books, The Chaos Protocols, Star.Ships: A Prehistory of the Spirits, Pieces of Eight, and Ani.Mystic: Encounters with a living Cosmos.
Over the course of this journey, Gordon has had the privilege of speaking to some of the world’s leading authorities in Assyriology, religious studies, genetic research, hermeticism, psi research, the history of western magic and ufology.
The overriding mission of his work is an attempt to cohere an evidence-based western magical worldview that combines history, paranormal research, the best available scientific research and ufology.
Fun trivia about Gordon:
He has been in both the actual DeLorean from Back To The Future and the Batmobile from the original Adam West series.

He has lived on two volcanoes.
He has dived on a sunken city.
