The inaugural episode titled 'Rite of the Broken Halo' marks the beginning of the Cult of Psyche podcast series.
This is the foundational episode of Cult of Psyche, designated as Episode 0 and aired on November 17, 2025. The title 'Rite of the Broken Halo' suggests themes of spiritual deconstruction, fallen divinity, or the rejection of traditional sacred symbols. As the series opener, this episode likely established the show's tone and introduced core concepts that would recur throughout the podcast. The 'broken halo' imagery evokes ideas of corrupted or abandoned spirituality, divine rebellion, or the transformation of sacred symbols into something more complex or subversive. Without a transcript, the specific content remains unknown, but the ritualistic framing of the title suggests this may have been presented as a ceremonial beginning to the podcast's exploration of consciousness, occult topics, and alternative spirituality. The episode number '0' reinforces its role as a foundational or preparatory installment.
