Back in May 2023, I went to my local Voodoo Manbo’s shop looking for a spiritual consultation. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I definitely wasn’t expecting to go on a personal spiritual journey that was, at times, difficult, but has, so far, been quite rewarding. “I guess I wasn’t supposed to be […]
Over the years I’ve had the same crazy dream. It always starts out with me being dropped off by some male stranger, in a beat up pick-up truck, on a very overcast, and cloudy day. I think it’s fall based on the fact that we’re both dressed in jackets and jeans. I walk through a […]
The ancient Romans used magic in everyday life; even to kill them. According to William Smith’s A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, people would regularly consult with magical professionals. Two examples are augurs and astrologers. Augurs were trained to read signs in the natural world, like rock formations and wind directions. Necromancy was a […]
Every day I find some kind of occult related creator content dropped into my YouTube suggestions, so it wasn’t exactly a surprise to see a tarot history video in there. What was a surprise was the fact that it was on the famed French fashion house Christian Dior’s channel … um, excuse me, what? Yes, […]
It was the 1980s and every holiday season, school would get out on the Friday before Christmas, which meant I’d spend the next 2 weeks with my grandparents while my mom was at work. My grandfather, a computer engineer (read as: middle class hacker), would pirate movies with his coworkers in their downtime. As soon […]
Janelle Shane started to train a GPT-3 on its headlines, just to see which ones it’d come up with on its own, and I honestly can’t think of a more insightful way to end this ridiculously miserable, hell hole of a year than that. Reading through the rest of her tumblog is a jaunt through […]
The description on this latest YouTube find states: “Through the magic, or rather, science of bio-data sonification, this flush of oyster mushrooms get a shot at playing a eurorack modular synthesizer before they become dinner.” Sigh … I think I just found my new favorite channel. This guy’s hooking friggin’ cordyceps mushrooms and giant amethysts […]
On the latest episode of ‘Excuse me,what?’, they visit the people of the “psychic capitol of the world.” Cassadaga, Florida, USA … a tiny, 57 acre, unincorporated community, built by a leader in the American Spiritualism movement, which peaked in popularity in the latter half of 19th century. This town has more psychic mediums per […]
I noticed the other day that the YouTube channel AfterSkool had created a condensed version of Randall Carlson’s work, and thought you’d appreciate it. Watch that new video featuring Randall Carlson and his work here. I had the opportunity to see Randall Carlson in Minneapolis, back in 2014, at the (now defunct) Paradigm Symposium . […]
Acyuta Bhava (Adam Elenbaas of Nightlight Astrology) has a brand new video out about the astrological significances shared with famous cults, UFO sightings, and even alien abductions that all made the headlines. He covers Heaven’s Gate, Stalinism, the famous Betty and Barney Hill case, Carl Sagan’s orginal Cosmos series, even Nike’s Air Jordan logo. This […]
