This week, we get back to our roots some more. Considering science, mysticism, and folklore all at once, we dive down the rabbit holes of dream phenomena and the entities people encounter during them, including the shadow people of sleep paralysis and even the classical Greek mythology of the siren. You can listen to the episode right here! Little known today, the siren was considered a common dream entity thousands […]
On the show this week, my good friend and fellow researcher Mike Mazzei joins me to discuss both UFOs and ancient history -- but not in the traditional "ancient alien" sense of the topic. Host of the podcast, Mind Escape, it is co-hosted by his cousin Maurice who is currently on hiatus, preparing their new documentary to soon release at the Roswell UFOXPO conference this month, March 10-12th! You […]
The first aerial photograph was taken in 1858 from a Parisian hot air balloon. Today, archaeologists seek hidden ancient ruins with drones. It would take thousands of Indiana Jones(es) to process and analyze of the massive amounts of satellite, GIS, thermal, LIDAR, and historical archaeological data researchers use and cross-reference. Indy didn't have AI, but we do. Buried Kiva In 2014, archaeologists surveyed an ancient Ancestral Puebloan site in New […]
"Atheist" isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a witch. Some modern witches want you to reconsider that assumption. Apparently, they don't all worship a Goddess and Great Horned God.  Science and the Supernatural Adoption of the scientific method and a rising distaste for organized religions have led to a sharp increase (and more popular acceptance) of atheists and agnostics. Witches, however, continue to […]
Everything I’m about to tell you is true - and if we can do it, you can too. Just be prepared to smell like a french fry for a very, very long time… The Big Thirsty Truck When gas prices inch up, people start talking about biodiesel again.  About 20 years ago, my frugal husband got so pissed about gas prices - and taxes - that he decided to […]
Does consciousness affect physics - and by extension, the universe - we inhabit? Many scientists and spiritual leaders say “yes.” The Physicist Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder is a researcher, musician, author, and theoretical physicist. Her work focuses on the intersection of consciousness and the physical laws of the universe - and she believes them to be inextricably intertwined. The Monk Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Master and Nobel Peace Prize […]
Female worker bees waggle and dance after a pollen hunting trip like cowgirls on a dance floor. Are they counting a two-step? 1-2-3 Bee Scientists and beekeepers know that bees are highly intelligent, but a surprising new study reveals that bees can count to five. They even understand the concept of zero. Researchers have confirmed that bees - like humans, primates, and some other vertebrates - order their counting from […]
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 […]
Researchers announced yesterday they've found the world’s oldest known map of the stars. Dating from the 2nd century BC , the map is attributed to the Greek astronomer and mathematician, Hipparcus. Amazingly, it was found hidden behind overlaid ink within later medieval texts found in Egypt. Papyrus and other writing surfaces were valuable and often “recycled" in ancient times, with scribes writing over old text. Today's advanced imaging techniques can […]
