Trees talk, and those close to the earth have known this for lifetimes upon lifetimes. Science is listening now too. Bushcraft & Shrooms Shift Happens (here on the Fringe!) recently interviewed a bushcrafter and psychonaut who, like Thoreau, left the rat race to live in the woods. Towards the end of the show, he shares his thoughts on trees, mushrooms, and more.  Episode 265: https://fringe.fm/shows/shift-happens/ Spinning Vinyl and Macrame In […]
This time around on Black Hoodie Alchemy, Keats Ross of the PragMagick podcast is here to get our fingers deep in the dark recesses of our unconscious minds, doing some kinds of ghost-busting that you've probably never considered before! Yes, we'll be celebrating the Halloween season a little bit -- and for most you that are listening to this outside of October, don't be discouraged! The content is applicable to […]
Over the years I've done a few exceptionally creepy guest spots on other broadcasts, a few of which were specifically geared for the Halloween season. If you're looking for some really wild Halloween podcasts to listen to, I'd recommend any of these! The links I am posting are all to Spotify, but you can find these wherever you stream your podcasts. Â The Psychology of Halloween - The Secret Teachings […]
Those of a certain generation will remember late nights with cable TV.  We'd aimlessly flick through channels, hoping to find something to watch while drowsing off.  At midnight, the national anthem and a waving flag would signal station signoff before static ruled the airwaves until morning. Maybe you nodded off to the blue grid of the cable guide channel as it scrolled through the channel offerings. Perhaps a scene […]
Therapeutic ketamine treatments for pain, depression, or anxiety are often accompanied by music for a more powerful, moving healing experience. There is a stereotype that psychedelic music and medicine are the province of hippies, but today's doctors, neuroscientists, and researchers are getting on board the hippie jams bus, and for good reason. Supportive Soothing Two types of music are typically used in therapeutic ketamine treatments: rich instrumentals or natural, […]
Slowly but surely, science is catching up with the spiritual teachings of millennia regarding frequency and vibration. Neuroscience labs are starting to validate what shamans and sages have always known, but from a different angle: they're more interested in the "what and how" than the more elusive and ethereal "why." You Know It When You Feel It It's baffling that anyone could doubt the effects of tones and beats. We […]
Last year, I made a list of some of my favorite lesser-known and cosmically-horrific movies. I highly recommend you check that list out too while you're already looking through this one! With the last theme being cosmic in one way or another, this will be a list aimed at an existential mindf***k. Maybe there's a twist at the end, or maybe the twist is just the warped and unique ways […]
This time around, the show gets pretty X-Files-ish with my colleague, AP Strange -- a writer, researcher, investigator, and collector of Forteana. Strange gives us a brief history of Charles Fort and the ideas of "Fortean" investigation and phenomena, which essentially encompasses anything unexplainable with some shades of specificity that we'll get into. You can listen to the episode right here! Â Armed with an impressive Fortean library, AP Strange […]
Get ready to get down to the brass tacks of mysticism, magick, and the religious experience. Firstly, what is the difference between these three, and how do things like dreams, psychedelic drugs, and hypnosis fit into it all? Another way to describe this is as an episode about altered states of consciousness and adaptation. Listen to the episode right here! With dreams, we use symbols to quantify emotional values with […]
