So I wanted to get into the like origins of Halloween, 38 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.240 but I must admit I was very traumatized by the Valentine's episode. You were 39 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:29.759 traumatized, yeah, because, like, dude, you're like, what you 40 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.840 can see the whole studio in your glasses right now?

Just I do need to 51 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.560 show this. So so moder Man is very intentional, and he's not. 52 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.240 He's not afraid of showing his influence from other great heroes. And I said, 53 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.360 the masters before him. So you know, you might see the Superman 54 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:43.120 logo on the do rag that where you point it, you know, Yeah, 55 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.040 yeah, there you go, there you go. They hit him with 56 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:50.839 the beam of enlightenment. Yeah, but there's more because when I turn a 57 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:58.240 walk away and my mission is complete, they're always reminded by the same Yeah. 58 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.639 No, yeah, move the camera. Yo. If that's not a 59 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.480 beacon of justice, I don't know. Oh man, and he's throwing up 60 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:11.439 the mudras. It's a beach towel. Oh it is real.

But for anybody out 63 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:23.720 there who grew up like super Christian, there was a character named Bible Man. 64 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.399 There was a superhero, Alex. Do you know about Bible Man? 65 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.040 Bible You don't know? It was a Catholic man. Oh yeah, yeah. 66 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.360 You had like Pope Man or whatever. So you had staff Man, 67 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:42.199 you had mass Man mass Man. Yeah. But anyway, there was a 68 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.040 character named Bible Man and he was like Christian Batman and he was like all 69 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.160 purple and yellow and super jazz. I had a lightsaber too, That's right, 70 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.120 I had a lightsaber. He was just like, so they just took 71 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.720 ship from everywhere. Oh yeah yeah, and he would just beat the ship 72 00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.560 out of people and then like quote Bible versus uh huh yeah, Like wait, 73 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.199 so it's like pulp fiction. Oh yeah, okay, that's that's pretty 74 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.519 good. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's kind of like pulp fiction. 75 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.439 But anyway, Ryan is the new age version of Bible Man mujer man is. 76 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.639 I've even got the the Tibetan beads that Alex bought me, the prayer 77 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.480 beads. It's this is sick, really ties it together. This is possibly 78 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:28.240 my aumn what was it? Aman? This is possibly my favorite like alter 79 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.759 ego of yours that's ever spawned from your mind. There's more where that came 80 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:36.920 from. So I was really traumatized by the Valentine's episode because I did all 81 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.199 this research and then we blew through the notes on like ten minutes. Oh 82 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:44.879 that part, okay, so we're gonna paste this one out. But I 83 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.399 also have about eight times more notes this time, so it should go like 84 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:54.399 eight times as long. Then so about you know, sixteen minutes. Okay, 85 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.360 okay, I just wait for that. Yeah, but no, I 86 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.120 want to get into it because the roots of Hallween are very cool, and 87 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.279 actually I did not know it as well as I thought I did. I'm 88 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.279 I'm definitely gonna have to read a lot of this because before we get into 89 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.399 the nitty gritty real quick.

And I had like a huge like Harvard weapon that was actually like 125 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.440 a martial arts training weapon. That sounds pretty awesome. It was cool. 126 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:48.759 I think my favorite is one year I went as a star Lord. I 127 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.480 think I remember that. That was cool. I remember that.

So I didn't wear a 145 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.519 wig or anything. I had pure blue hair dang ye and then ran around 146 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.919 in like a red onesie.

Were we ever off the subject? 150 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:13.919 Well, I was just gonna get right into it, but I kind 151 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.120 of like this better because it avoids the problem of running out of notes. 152 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.320 There you go, what's our what's our favorite like Halloween movie to watch around? 153 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.399 Oh, it doesn't have to be a scary movie. Okay, Well 154 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.799 here's the thing the audience might know. I talk about it all the time. 155 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.799 I don't like scary movies, but every year during October, that's when 156 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.279 I get it all out of my system. I get I'm like time it 157 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.320 is. Man, it feels like appropriate, like you know, it's starting 158 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.360 to get a little bit cold, that all the leaves are starting to die, 159 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.519 the trees are changing colors. It just feels like, Okay, I 160 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.600 need to watch Michael Myers like Stab of chick O g Halloween. Oh yeah, 161 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.200 okay, I watched that movie every single year in October. Do you 162 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.320 know what I think you should watch this year during Halloween season? Have you 163 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.240 ever seen the original Children of the Corn? Nope? Watch it? Okay, 164 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.159 bet it's not scary. No, yeah, it's just like a Stephen 165 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.840 King movie. Some of my favorites though, love Evil Dead so much. 166 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:13.559 That's scary. That's I mean, it's that you've just seen it enough times. 167 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.919 That's all it is. Maybe I don't know how scary older older like 168 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:22.159 horror movies do not scare me in the slightest. It's only when like we 169 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.639 started getting into the like two thousands, and then it was all just like 170 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.759 cheesy jump scares yas. That's not I don't I just can't do it. 171 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.000 I don't like it, Like it makes me feel like I'm having a heart 172 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.759 attack. But uh, I mean I love like the Shining I watch that 173 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.519 every year Nightmare before Christmas. Yeah, you got to watch Children in the 174 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.679 Corn bet I'll do. I'm pretty sure that Stephen King is it. I 175 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.559 could be totally wrong. I think probably. I'm not sorry. What about 176 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.559 you? What's like you? I don't know. I mean, like og 177 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:56.000 Halloween is is always like the best contender. But there's a couple of movies 178 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.639 that I really like watching around Halloween time and they are so strange. Like 179 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:07.399 have youll ever heard of Pumpkinhead. I don't pumpkin that. It's not a 180 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.840 good movie, but it's a great movie. You know, when you get 181 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.360 into the realm of horror, it's okay if it's not a good movie, 182 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.440 yeah, because yeah it's you know, it's like part of it. But 183 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.279 Pumpkinhead, that's a good one. I mean, I always love Friday the 184 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:31.840 thirteenth that that those movies are dope. I'm very much like I just like 185 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.600 the original ones, the first one, yes, whereas the mom Yeah, 186 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:41.639 I don't. I don't even like, I don't even know if I've seen 187 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.200 a lot of the sequels. I remember I saw h two. Oh the 188 00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.840 Halloween one which was that Salloween Yeah, really bad. I never saw it. 189 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.519 It was really really bad. I don't think I saw any of the 190 00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.559 Jason Vorhees sequels. I think maybe I watched Nightmare on ELM Street two maybe, 191 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.879 but I don't seconds weird. I just really like the original ones and 192 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.679 I'll watch those, like except for Evil Dead, Like I watch all the 193 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.840 Evil deads like, I love those. They're sick. What about you, 194 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.480 Alex, what's some of your favorite don't do this to me? Oh, 195 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.679 yeah, you don't watch anything. I don't, right, you don't, 196 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.559 And to be honest with you, like, I know what those movies are. 197 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.799 You've never seen any Pumpkinhead No? Uh, And I've seen them, 198 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.360 but like, I just don't. I don't watch them at Halloween. Like 199 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.559 I'm not a big Halloween person at all. Really No, I'm more like, 200 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.399 let's just get through Halloween and get to Thanksgiving. Wow. I mean 201 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.159 that's the truth. Ever since I was a kid, like Halloween is its 202 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.919 like pretty much always been my favorite. I mean I always loved Christmas. 203 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:52.679 It was super fun. But I mean, when you're a kid, candy 204 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.159 is everything, dude, Just beyond the candy, though, it's the atmosphere 205 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.039 is everywhere around you. That's true. It feels like you're in a fantasy 206 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.879 world. Yeah, everywhere you get to go up to strangers doors and demand 207 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.639 that they do not even just that, but like you go to businesses during 208 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.000 the month of October and it's all decorated, Like everywhere you go, it's 209 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.159 all around you. You know, everybody is celebrating in some way. Bro. 210 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.279 That's been so I'm like, you know, working with my brother now 211 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:28.919 cutting yards, I see like dozens every day of yards that are fully decorated 212 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.960 and how yeah crazy stuff. I mean some of it's like real creepy. 213 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:39.440 Yeah. So let me you don't know this. My new boss, he 214 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:45.080 uh, his family, He's got two daughters and his wife. All they 215 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:50.080 do is Halloween. She in the neighborhood. She is a queen of Halloween. 216 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.120 Really, and so the last couple of days at work, I've had 217 00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.200 to powerwash their driveway to get ready for this tent, huge wedding tent that 218 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.759 they do a what's called like a walk through, like a haunted house thing, 219 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.120 a haunted house thing, and then you go up on the porch and 220 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:10.120 then and so he's also I've got to go over there on Halloween to get 221 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.519 painted like a zombie, just scared little kids. You're gonna do it, 222 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:17.559 Yeah, I might do it. His boss was like, bring everybody you 223 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.320 know, I need zombies. I might do it if we're free, I'm 224 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.480 gonna I'm gonna talk to anybody I might. I want to. That would 225 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.600 be so much fun. No, so he's got in his yard right now. 226 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.919 Not even Halloween just is just the prep. There's like six different fifteen 227 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:38.480 twenty foot tall werewolf, skeleton witch dude, like headless horsemen, and they 228 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.440 all like talk and move and stuff. That's crazy, Hey, wild little 229 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:48.639 teaser. Part of the reason that the myth of like were wolves and vampires 230 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.720 and things like that even exist today is tied to the origins of he Okay, 231 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:53.679 I'm ready to get into it. Yeah, let's get into it. 232 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.320 I'm ready, let's go. I got to recommend it Actually, I got 233 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:02.960 a few recommendations for the viewers on a stress that we are talking just like 234 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.000 Halloween classics. I'm not sitting here recommending like a list top notch horror films 235 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.000 or anything of that nature. I'm just saying great movies to watch around Halloween 236 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.079 time. Okay, first of all, it's not a movie Nick is gonna 237 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.920 obsessively agree with this one. Over the Garden Yeah, everybody's got to watch 238 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:23.319 Over the Garden Wall. It's a ten episode, eleven minutes apiece cartoon mini 239 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:30.599 series. It is very mysterious and mystical, and it's the like's Elijah Wood. 240 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:37.079 Yeah, the Fall vibes and like the Halloween vibes are just so potent. 241 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.960 It's amazing. What else were you? There is a cult classic Halloween 242 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:47.440 anthology. I think it's on Netflix. It's called Trick or Treat. It 243 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.200 is. It's not a very particularly scary movie. It's more like a intentionally 244 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.799 B list, campy horror film. Okay, cool, and it's about like 245 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:00.960 it's just about like the spirit of Halloween and like cool. You would see 246 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.720 it written as Sam Hayn, that's the original Gaelic holiday that we're going to 247 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.880 talk about. A lot. It's written like Sam Hayne, but has pronounced 248 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:11.079 some oun. The being is named that, and that's the name of the 249 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.599 entity that's like killing people or whatever. It's just a cool little movie. 250 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:19.039 He's Got a pumpkin Head, not to be confused with pumpkin Head, the 251 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:25.400 movie, which is about a witch that uh manifests a demon from a pumpkin 252 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.039 patch. It's this weird demonic entity with the head that looks like a pumpkin. 253 00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.640 It's called pumpkin Head. It's great movie. Highly recommend pumpkin Head. 254 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.519 Okay, in your research, what's do you know? What's the deal with 255 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.359 pumpkins? Like, other than the fact that they I didn't see anything really 256 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.480 about. I think it's just about the harvest. I mean, we're gonna 257 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.799 get into that. But dude, like what you were saying, it's your 258 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.880 it's your favorite time of the year. I think October is definitely my favorite 259 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.599 month. Like, that's why me and Jenny chose to get married in October. 260 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:53.960 It's an awesome month, dude, Like I wanted to be married by 261 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.359 pumpkins. It's just it's cool. So let's get into it. Let's let's 262 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.039 let's get into the halloing stuff, because I actually do have a lot more 263 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:07.200 notes this time. Let's go like a lot just the entire history, and 264 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.039 there's probably so much more than I didn't fathom or didn't come across. So 265 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:18.440 I always thought that Halloween was a Celtic or Druidic holiday, but actually it's 266 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:23.480 far older than that, and it's believed by some archaeological evidence today that it 267 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:30.240 actually this tradition has existed for at least five thousand years in pre Celtic Gaelic 268 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:33.880 Ireland, which is crazy. And they have all these mounds and burial sites 269 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.680 where they have all these bodies dug up in mass graves. And we're going 270 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.680 to get into the why. So it's the Festival of sam Un on October 271 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:48.240 thirty first. Again it's spelled like sam Hayne. It symbolizes the descent of 272 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.680 the sun. So you know, you have the fall equinox, yeah, 273 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:56.440 and whatever that is September twenty second or first, or you know, depending 274 00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:02.119 on the year, and then between September whenever the equinox is, and between 275 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:06.559 the winter solstice. I didn't actually look at the calendar and like verify this 276 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:08.000 for myself. It's just something I kept coming across and reading, and I 277 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:14.200 was like, sounds right to me. So between the fall equinox and between 278 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:21.079 the winter solstice, supposedly, October thirty first is the day that is equidistant 279 00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:26.200 between those days where it goes from the equinox to then you have on October 280 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.240 thirty first, the sun begins this like rapid descent beneath the horizon and the 281 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.960 days begin to rapidly get darker. And I guess that makes sense because doesn't 282 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:38.000 time what is a spring? It jumps back in November right like right after 283 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:42.359 Halloween fall back, Yeah, right after Halloween. So October thirty first is 284 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:48.240 the day where we're equidistant between the equinox and the solstice. So the ancients 285 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:53.400 in ancient Gaelic Ireland, which you know, there's not even a lot known 286 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:59.839 about Gaelic culture today, like it's very mysterious, very It's very similar to 287 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.720 the mysticism of Egypt as well as the Druids too, but a lot of 288 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.240 them were wiped out and like their records are just like that pretty much. 289 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.599 Yeah, but yeah, so it's the the idea of this this festival that 290 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:17.039 was celebrated was most of it was about the descent of the sun, the 291 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:21.920 days are getting darker. And it's also this it's signifying the darkness over the 292 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.319 next six months of the year too, because in these ancient societies they had 293 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.599 these belief systems about how like the sun rules, its rain is in the 294 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.839 sky for six months, and then the darkness rules for six months. And 295 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.839 they believed because you know, the crops are beginning to die, the cold, 296 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.720 the dark is coming, the harvest is complete, farm season is over. 297 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.559 It's survival for the next six months until spring, you know. So 298 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.160 Gaelic Goddess of the harvest. Now listen, I may be ninety nine percent 299 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.000 English and Irish, but that does not mean that I know how to pronounce 300 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:57.319 this shit. Okay, you know, I just have to throw that out 301 00:21:57.359 --> 00:22:02.599 there. Yeah, these this I'm telling you, the way they pronounce this 302 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.519 stuff, and then when you see it written, it is so different. 303 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:11.960 I've seen like, like Gaelic stuff very hard to pronounce, like a weird 304 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.000 the way it's spelled is. So I just want to clarify, I'm not 305 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.400 going to be pronouncing this stuff right, I'm just gonna say it like it's 306 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:25.400 written. Uh So, the Gaelic Goddess of the Harvest tail two tail tu 307 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:30.920 t a i l t i U dies of exhaustion from teaching people how to 308 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:36.799 harvest, so leading up to the salmon day where the sun is equidistant between 309 00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:41.039 the equinox and the solstice. The myth in Gaelic Ireland is that the goddess 310 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.240 of the harvest dies from exhaustion from all this farm going on for you know, 311 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.480 six months. And then Luge the god of the sun. Let's see 312 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:49.960 what's going on with the god of the sun. He mourns her death. 313 00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:55.920 He establishes a harvest festival in her honor. His wife Airyu is the queen 314 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.079 of the forest who rules the summer with him for the six months while the 315 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.519 sun rains in the sky through the spring. In the summer, whoa okay 316 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:08.519 Alatha the dark Femorian prince, which the Fomorians in Irish mythology were like this 317 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:12.319 dark race of demonic gods that were always at war with the Tuatha din On 318 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:18.480 which were like the Irish gods. So the dark prince Ilatha kills him. 319 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.440 He drives the spear through the sun while he's in his vulnerable state. So 320 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.440 the vulnerable state of Lug the sun god is when he is exiting from a 321 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.079 bath with one foot on a cauldron and the other foot on a ram. 322 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.880 The cauldron in the ram are symbolic of the summer. In the winter solstice, 323 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.400 you have Capricorn and the ram Capricorn, and then you have Cancer the 324 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:41.640 cauldron. I don't know why the cauldron represents, but the Sun is in 325 00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:47.279 Cancer during the summer solstice and then Capricorn or in the winter solstice. So 326 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:52.920 having one foot on each symbolizes the Sun's temporal position, meaning time, the 327 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:59.319 temporal position between these astra astrological houses during the fall equinox in the winter solstice. 328 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.559 Okay, the sun got a slain. The knights begin to grow longer, 329 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.759 so the ancients are having this whole mythology about. Okay, Halloween is 330 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:14.799 when the darkness comes into rain. You know, this falls in the Dark 331 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:22.240 Prince, the Prince, the Dark Prince elopes with Luke's wife Airyu, symbolizing 332 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.119 the reign of darkness for the next six months. And then this is actually 333 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:30.000 a smite character. You might recommend that recognize this. Luke's son Ku Kulane. 334 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.400 Oh remember him, Yeah, we played him. Luke's son Ku Kulane. 335 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.359 He's later born in the winter through an immaculate conception. It can be 336 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.240 interpreted that he is also the human incarnation of Luke, just like who Jesus 337 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.839 Jesus. But this is way before we're seeing all these christ principles of the 338 00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:51.880 Sun and the Son of the Sun, but also culture, because it's it's 339 00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:55.279 the truth. It's it's the truth that we come from the divine and there 340 00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.119 is a being or some sort of force that is born here that it's just 341 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.640 the story of its even mastery. That's all it is. But he's he's 342 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.759 reborn, and it symbolizes the rebirth of the Sun and the days growing longer. 343 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:11.440 So eventually Luke is reborn as cuck, which is the same as uh 344 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:17.160 Osiris being reborn as Horus. Or you got God in Jesus, or you 345 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:22.359 got uh Nimrod. And I'm not maybe i'll call there's no reason to call 346 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.839 Alex names right now. He didn't do anything. We already covered Nimrod. 347 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:30.720 Do you remember what that is. It's the it's the Babylonian version. Yeah. 348 00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:37.240 And what's the Nimrod? That's the Christmas tree. Remember we did it 349 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:44.119 on the Christmas episode and another virgin birth it's in every myth evers. Yeah, 350 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.440 I think so is the human incarnation or like the sun. I'm not 351 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:49.960 sure if it's the other way around. I can't remember. We did it 352 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:55.599 a year ago, you know, but yeah, and then so okay, 353 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.559 during this time, the the Gaelic Irish people were fascinated with the astrology, 354 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.640 the stars. I mean, just like all the other wisdom traditions, you 355 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.000 know, they're looking at the stars. They're contemplating the mysteries of life and 356 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:12.759 death because all the crops dying and then they have to survive. How it 357 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:18.079 starts man for all these religions and cultures, and well, that's what you 358 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.759 did when you didn't have TV, right, I mean for being funny, 359 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.160 Well you don't have distractions and you can ponder big ideas like that. Well, 360 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:30.400 also like life back then, for the most part, I feel like 361 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:33.920 life was about survival, you know, like even when we were born in 362 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.440 the nineties, there's all this technology everywhere. We society for the last i 363 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:44.279 don't know, one hundred plus barely years has had this constant vision of the 364 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.599 future and technology and these advancements. But I feel like aon's ago, five 365 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.319 thousand years ago, they're not thinking about that. They're they're thinking about like 366 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.240 life and death. You know, they're looking at the next meal. Yeah, 367 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.119 like the way they think is different from the way we think. Now, 368 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.839 they're really thinking about this stuff like it's so real and it's so important, 369 00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:04.599 and it's all they're looking at the sky every night, and they believe 370 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.000 that it's more than just stars. You know, they think it's gods and 371 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.400 beings and fairies and fairies come from Ireland. We're gonna rt into that, 372 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:18.599 and we got further into the future and further away from the truth that it 373 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.359 really is being's up there. Oh yeah, one hundred percent. I mean 374 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.119 you think about it once. Once your bellies full and all your chores are 375 00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:29.200 done and all that stuff, what else is there to do? You're gonna 376 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:32.920 sit around and be like, okay, but what does all this mean? 377 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.319 Like what is all this about? Especially you're looking up in the sky and 378 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:41.319 and you know, their skies there's no light pollution anywhere. It's like a 379 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.759 freaking Renaissance painting or so, you know, they're they're like completely you know, 380 00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.720 your mind goes crazy. You're trying to learn what all this stuff means. 381 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:56.200 Also yourself like driving and you're like, whoa, this is like real 382 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.039 life, Like what the heck of my I doing? How did I get 383 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:04.720 here? Yeah? Sometimes yeah, yeah, you get those existential Yeah. 384 00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:10.119 And I mean I feel like especially with in like circles like we are in 385 00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:15.759 where we think about ourselves very often as a soul rather than a person. 386 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.079 You know, it's sometimes you snap back into the person and you're like, 387 00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.720 yeah, whoa, I forgot for a little bit. You know. It's 388 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.799 yeah, it's it's kind of weird. You know. What's wild to me 389 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.599 is think about people that don't think like that. Yeah, you know, 390 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.200 like you're telling the NPCs, right, yeah, for for lack of a 391 00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.319 better yeah, like like more you know, I don't know. I don't 392 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.680 mean this in a rude way, but like more simple minded fault. It 393 00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:48.559 is a thing with that subject, I think, is it is it what 394 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.240 you're saying? Is it simple? Or is it so far distracted? Yeah? 395 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:57.279 I mean it no, Yeah, no, can be true. Yeah, 396 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.200 that's a good point though, actually kind of go in tandem. Yeah. 397 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.880 No, it's it's crazy to ponder. So they're thinking about the transience 398 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:12.000 of life and death and the passage between worlds. Okay, they believed that 399 00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:15.880 on the day of what we now call Halloween or sam Ouon, that the 400 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.839 veil between worlds was at its thinnest right, yes, and that spirits passed 401 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:26.240 freely back and forth between realms yea. And they believed I had something. 402 00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:33.720 The veil between the spirit world and the physical world is thinner, okay. 403 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.359 Oh. Here it is the Tuatha deada Non, which were the Irish Gaelic 404 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.759 gods. It's also believed that they every year in the mythology, they waged 405 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.400 their final war against the Femorians, the dark demonic gods, and they win, 406 00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.000 and that victory was achieved. So it's like there's also like these conflicting 407 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:53.839 themes of like it depends how far back in the ancient past you go. 408 00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:59.480 Like over time during the Medieval Ages, Halloween or this tradition got scarier and 409 00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.359 darker, more about witchcraft and black magic and sorcery because there was paranoia and 410 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:11.519 panic about religious themes in medieval Europe because of the rise of Catholicism and and 411 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.559 you know, the the inquisitions and conquesting all these countries and their pagans and 412 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.119 their pagans, you know, and it's there was this kind of like spiritual 413 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.599 paranoia that came up to the medieval times, but in the far ancient past 414 00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:26.519 it was it was more like it was more like a c like Elda Delo 415 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.519 Smertos right in Mexico. Yes, it's it's it's like a celebration. Yeah. 416 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.200 Like they had these ancient burial mounds in Ireland, very tall hills, 417 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:41.720 and the archaeologists have found there's like hundreds or thousands of graves around these mounds. 418 00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:45.440 And the Irish believed that the mounds or the hills were so special because 419 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:49.440 it's where the gods and the fairies lived. So on this day they would 420 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:52.960 return to these mounds. If there was you know, dead or dying, 421 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.960 they would bury them there. And they believed that they could burn offerings to 422 00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:02.680 assist the spirits of the dead to cross through the veil and help them like 423 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.319 cross through to the other side on this day that is, or that they 424 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.480 would return to visit that is very similar to the day of the day. 425 00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:19.039 Yeah. So it's believed that the laws of nature and the laws of nature 426 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:25.279 were suspended during this time and those supernatural feats were possible. The Celts, 427 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.200 the Druids, the Gaelics, Eventually the Celtics, which was Scotland, you 428 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:33.119 know, they caught onto this tradition. They believed that the passage between worlds 429 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.279 was possible. They believed that the gods had won the war. And I 430 00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:38.559 already said that, I'm just catching up to my notes. The evil Femorians, 431 00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:42.000 they beat them in this final battle. They achieved victory. They're purging 432 00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:48.440 the demonic gods from Ireland on this day. They believed that the veil between 433 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.680 the physical and the spiritual worlds. I say they believed. I'm just reading 434 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.720 what I wrote, But what I really mean is archaeologist, you know, 435 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:02.680 historians, they find that this veil symbology that keeps, you know, occurring 436 00:32:02.720 --> 00:32:07.400 through cultures comes through the bridal veil of Isis, the wife of Osiris. 437 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.599 Right, she's depicted as the veiled one. You know that. You know 438 00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:15.039 Heleno Bovotsky, Yeah, one of her, one of her books is called 439 00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:21.519 Isis Unveiled. She's just right, Yeah, She's just symbolized as this bridal 440 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:23.799 veil. She's the bride of the sun god. And you have similar themes. 441 00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:30.000 And in Gaelic there's there's an idea that maybe there was some sort of 442 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:34.920 transmission of culture somehow between Egypt and Ireland. Definitely with the Druids, it's 443 00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.519 like, not sure if it's proven, but there's so many similarities between their 444 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.319 spiritual systems, you know, and the way they believe things. So the 445 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.119 veil between the phys the physical and the spiritual worlds comes from the Egyptian goddess 446 00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:51.119 Isis, the bride of the soular god of Cyrus. It's believed that the 447 00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:55.119 mysteries and of creation and the mysteries of the universe lie beyond the veil between 448 00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:59.559 the world. So the ancients were always contemplating this veil, trying to penetrate 449 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:02.160 its miss streets. So this day was so special because they believed it's the 450 00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:06.920 day that anybody could penetrate, right, because everything's so thin because of the 451 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.599 position of the sun on the solstices and the equinoxes is like that halfway point 452 00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.559 between the crossing of the sun. So they just thought, you know, 453 00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.240 the veil has to be thinner. Yeah, and maybe there's something to it. 454 00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:19.119 Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I always like there's got 455 00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.440 to be something to it. I was gonna mention, like, I feel 456 00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:25.839 like, ever since I was a little kid. Something about Halloween feels different, 457 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.640 like kind of similar to Christmas. How Like there's this like very specific 458 00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:36.079 feeling. It's almost like the air is different. Same tradition, like you 459 00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.000 stay up all night, you leave candy corn out, and then the Great 460 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:44.599 Pumpkin comes down the chimney and leaves you tricks and treats. What that doesn't 461 00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:54.839 happen in your house? No, but it's likest my head. I can't 462 00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:59.319 believe y'all don't know about that. I really, for like a good second 463 00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:05.799 there, I was like, is he being for real right now? Pumpkinhead 464 00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.960 Man? Right, pumpkinhead I love that movie. It's it's like an eighties 465 00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:13.199 you mention that. Yeah, it's good, dude. You mentioned I saw 466 00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.079 that when I was like twelve and a minute. Charlie Brown and the Great 467 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.400 Grape Pumpkin. That's my movie. It's a good one. That's a good 468 00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.480 one. That's a really good shout out. My cousin Lee, who has 469 00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:28.440 been on the show Smith. That was one of his favorite. We used 470 00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.639 to watch that together. Awesome, he was. He loved The Great Pumpkin. 471 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:35.679 Honestly, that's another one that like you gotta watch every year. Yeah, 472 00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.239 you gotta watch. That's a good one. It is. It's such 473 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:44.360 a cozy, cozy Okay, Ryan, back to what you're saying, do 474 00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:49.119 you think that the veil is actually thinner or do you think that it's one 475 00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:53.599 of those like egregorical everybody thinks the veil is thinner, so it actually is. 476 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:57.559 Kind of no, It's like, I don't know that. How could 477 00:34:57.599 --> 00:34:59.719 I know? Right, Like, I don't know that the veil is thinner 478 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:02.440 on Halloween than any of the day. I just believe that if there is 479 00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:05.760 such a veil, which there is, If there is such a veil, 480 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:12.920 I believe that it's always being affected by these astrological lot like today's an eclipse. 481 00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.360 The gotta be something going on with that. You know, there's a 482 00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.400 reason that the Aztecs were sacrificing thousands of people a day under solar eclipses, 483 00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:22.480 right, there's a reason for this. We in modern times may not know 484 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.519 secret societies, and you know a lot of these mystery schools know, but 485 00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:30.519 there's a reason they did this, and they observed the celestial bodies the eclipses, 486 00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.679 and I think there's something to it, and I know that people at 487 00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:37.280 NASA. I know this because of some of our contacts through you know, 488 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.280 knowing government officials and being persons of interest of the you know, the department 489 00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:45.360 events all that stuff. I know that when they do certain rocket launches, 490 00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:52.480 they observe socitices and equinoxes and do weird rituals facing cardinal directions when they launch 491 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.400 rockets, like something that they do in private, which is wild. I 492 00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:59.280 mean, yeah, there's something to it. I just I don't know. 493 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:02.760 I get the hunch though, that it's for real, you know. Now, 494 00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:07.079 the intermission tells me if there's a day where the veil is thinnest, 495 00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:12.079 it has to be Easter because of the mythology behind that, and also like, 496 00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:16.679 uh, the majority of Dad's major experiences with the Lady happened on Easter. 497 00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:21.960 So my mind is just like they're they're m there's something special about all 498 00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:24.599 of these holidays obviously, you know. Sure, Yeah, there's a reason 499 00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:29.960 that there's also you notice that they're the major holidays we celebrate are at the 500 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.199 different seasons. Yeah, there's a reason for that. Yeah, it's what 501 00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.119 they came to the astrological alignments, right, yeah, all sure, Now 502 00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:43.599 I think it's possible that like all of those major holidays that are around like 503 00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:47.079 alignments and stuff like that. It could like the veil could be thin on 504 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:52.199 all of them, and like maybe in some cultures they thought that it was 505 00:36:52.360 --> 00:37:00.239 thinner at certain times than others. But I feel like that's probably exactly why 506 00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:04.760 they do these rituals on these holidays and these I mean, that's why these 507 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:07.119 holidays exist in the first place, because they fall in these alignments. I 508 00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.760 think. I think it's all got to do with the veil being thin. 509 00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:15.880 Yeah, I mean I can see why they think that about this holiday though, 510 00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.440 because we're talking several thousand years ago. They're all, you know, 511 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.480 for all of time back then, they're watching everything die every year, Like 512 00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.360 there's got to be some meaning to you know, the mystery of life. 513 00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:29.559 All the crops die at the same time together, you know, like the 514 00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:35.280 I don't know, right, there's definitely something to that. So the Celtic 515 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:40.880 goddess of Winter kyl Leak, that's a very hard one to kaylileoh, I 516 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:45.719 think that's perfect. Is a parallel to isis Her name actually means or is 517 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.840 translated to mean the veiled one. Wow. So she saves Lug, the 518 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.920 sun god, the god you know, the god of the sun. Who 519 00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.960 what does she do? She also saved us IRUs m hm that she saves 520 00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:59.800 Lug as an infant and rules in partnership with Brigid, the goddess of the 521 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:06.119 bring, assuming her role in some ooon, which is the holiday it was 522 00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:09.880 the original name holiday in psalm Un until Beltane, which is the holiday of 523 00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.559 May, like you know, like the May Queen, the bonfires of maytcha, 524 00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:20.360 that's not something we celebrate America. Right over in Europe, that's that's 525 00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:27.239 like a big holidays in May. These two deities are interpreted by historians and 526 00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:30.000 scholars to be like two aspects of the same deity. But like one of 527 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.719 them rules in the spring. In the summer, one of them rules got 528 00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:35.840 us a winter in the night, in the darkness. But it's like the 529 00:38:35.920 --> 00:38:40.880 same entity rising and setting with the seasons. Salm Un is the equal point 530 00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.679 between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. According I'm just didn't I didn't 531 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:50.239 count the days, you know what I mean. The four solar holidays marked 532 00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.159 the midpoint between the seasons, still celebrated today in their Indo European forms. 533 00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:59.000 We've got Easter, Christmas, Halloween, and what would be the one we're 534 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.840 missing here, spring fall, summer Thanksgiving? Would that be it, right, 535 00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.079 I don't know. I don't know. It could just be Beltane and 536 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:12.880 we just don't celebrate it here in America. The fourth of July, all 537 00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:17.760 right, that's what I'm talking about. That was a different kind of So 538 00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:22.880 again, this this some ouon by historians and scholars that they speculate that this 539 00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:28.039 is a pre Celtic Gaelic holiday that's been celebrated for five thousand years plus. 540 00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:31.320 It's based on their ancient Mounads sites. We talked a little bit about that. 541 00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.679 They believed that the barrier mountains were the portals to the spirit world. 542 00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.480 On some oon so like on this day, they believed that a spiritual portal 543 00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:44.199 was awakened so the spirits could roam between the worlds, and the burial mounds 544 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:49.360 were the portals. Yes. Also, fun fact, this is totally random, 545 00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:55.119 but the name Bledsoe actually literally translates to mean a hill or a wow 546 00:39:57.199 --> 00:39:59.519 And it's weird when you think about it, right, because we're going to 547 00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:02.639 get into this a little bit later, but they believed that also what lived 548 00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:07.320 in these mounds are the fairies. To the Irish fairies or gods. But 549 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:14.639 if you think about popular UFO lore, there's a whole subculture of like spiritual 550 00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:20.000 consciousness angle UFO researchers who are like, they're like the fay from Irish folklore. 551 00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:22.360 The fairies. Yeah, but it's believed that they come from the hills 552 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.320 or the mounds, and that the hill brings people closer to the fairies. 553 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:29.760 Well yeah, we even talked about it on the Angels episode. Yeah. 554 00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.360 Yeah, it's just another you know, another culture's depiction of it, right, 555 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.360 same thing. So, Diana Pasolka, who wrote the book American Cosmics, 556 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:42.039 she's she's in my dad's book. I'm not sure if she published this. 557 00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:46.360 I've never read her book, but she told my dad that part of 558 00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:51.159 her research before she was seriously involved with like meeting a lot of these UFO 559 00:40:51.280 --> 00:40:54.719 players, like years back, she actually went to Ireland as part of her 560 00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:02.440 research, and she was investigating like ancient cave sites and found depictions and like 561 00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:12.000 ancient like several thousand year old drawings from Gaelic Irish ancients of light beings coming 562 00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:15.760 down and creating humanity. Like, so oh, but you said she hasn't 563 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:19.119 like I don't know, I haven't. I don't have, but I don't 564 00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:22.719 know if she I wonder if there are photos. I don't know. But 565 00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.239 there's something about the whole Irish thing and the UFO thing and the fairies and 566 00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:28.639 the light beings. Well it seems like, I mean, we've talked about 567 00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:32.079 it. Seems like so many cultures have their version, right, right, 568 00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:36.480 that's true, that's true. Yeah, But I'm finding the Irish connection crazy 569 00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:39.239 because and it's probably just because I recently found out through the twenty three and 570 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:43.679 me thing that I'm Irish. My mind is like paying attention to that right 571 00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:45.679 now, whereas before I never cared, you know what I mean. So 572 00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:47.599 it's like, oh, this is cool, this is cool, and I'm 573 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:53.639 seeing all these details and I'm clicking in my brain. But so where was 574 00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:57.480 that here? Closer to the spirit world? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 575 00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:02.719 okay. They believe the barrier mounds burial mounds autocorrected the barrier. The 576 00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:07.159 burial mounds or portals to the spirit world. They were places of extreme spiritual 577 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:13.079 potency, so the elevations of the mounds, according to the ancient Irish folk, 578 00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:17.400 believed that they were closer to the spirit world because they're higher They were 579 00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.400 also believed to be the mounds where the places of the al she or. 580 00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:24.840 They are the people of the fairy mounds. They're like the fairies, they're 581 00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:30.039 bright spirits of nature. At these locations, the ancient Gaelics put great emphasis 582 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.639 on assisting the dead's transition into the spirit world. Also, the Anglo Saxons 583 00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:40.840 reverred to referred to November as Blood Month. They offered crops and animals sacrifice 584 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:45.199 to gods in exchange for the harvest, because you know, the harvest is 585 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.400 that's why you have all this like scythe symbolism with Saturn and the harvest. 586 00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:52.400 Yeah, all the crops are dying in the fault. It's like death is 587 00:42:52.480 --> 00:43:00.239 coming to harvest the crops. It's similar symbolism in defiance of the cold ark 588 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:05.480 in the gloom. They would hold these several like oftentimes like seven day festivals, 589 00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:09.360 and like kings, like back then, the kings of Ireland, whatever 590 00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:15.360 region they're from, I suppose they would hold these massive feasts and they would 591 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:22.719 have these massive bonfires. Also believed that the word bonfire etymologically stems from bone 592 00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:29.440 fire because of sacrificial rituals at these festivals. They would have massive bonfires and 593 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:35.280 well, I'm not sure about human but definitely animals. They would throw in 594 00:43:35.360 --> 00:43:38.599 animals and crops because they're thinking it's like an equivalent exchange, like we throw 595 00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:43.519 in animals and crops and then the spirits of nature are gonna bless us with 596 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.960 more more. So they would have massive fires with just animal bones everywhere. 597 00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:52.119 Bone fire, bone fires, that's where it comes from. That's cool. 598 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:58.760 Yeah, and there's evidence of there's like archaeological evidence of like massive bonfire pits 599 00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:04.239 at these mounds, sacred mounds in Ireland. So it's it's it's crazy how 600 00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:08.000 you know, the archaeology meets with the mythology too. But let's see they 601 00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:10.639 put let me catch up to where I was. I don't have my glasses 602 00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:16.320 on two, they held these feasts. Oh, it's also the end of 603 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:22.320 farming season, so they're celebrating they've harvested all their food and now they're gonna, 604 00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:23.360 you know, they have to survive through the rest of the cold. 605 00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:30.519 They believed that the fairies or the bright nature spirits also held festivals in the 606 00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:34.599 spirit world simultaneously. They were celebrating on earth below that the gods and the 607 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:38.880 spirits are celebrating as well in the realms above. They wore masks during these 608 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:44.519 festivals because they believed that the thinning of the veil not only affected the realms 609 00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:47.280 of physical and spirit, but also affected the realms of the conscious and the 610 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.519 subconscious. So they believed that wearing the mask would allow their subconscious shadow side 611 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.800 to come out. So at some point in history they would have festivals similar 612 00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:01.519 to like Bachanalia, where they would just do like the craziest stuff imaginable, 613 00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:07.079 Like they would have orgies and like just they're letting their shadow room free. 614 00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:08.360 You know. It's I want to think about that for a second, because 615 00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:13.440 like I'm sure you do. You put on a mask, right, any 616 00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:16.920 mask, and you just start acting different, you know what I mean, 617 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:22.159 Yeah, it's still yourself, but it's like no one knows who I am, 618 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.239 you know what I'm curious about. I wonder if that's where the jacket 619 00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:29.559 lantern came from. I wonder if that was the kind of masks that they 620 00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.400 would wear. Cut a face in a freaking pumpkin, put it on their 621 00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:35.559 head. I don't know if. Surprisingly enough, I didn't look into jacket 622 00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:37.840 lanterns at all. I wish I did but I wonder if about pumpkins or 623 00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:40.000 anything. I wonder if that's what it was. I thought you'd know more 624 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.559 about pumpkin lid into it, Yeah, look into it. Do like a 625 00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:47.360 good pumpkinhead, I know, but there's a there's a good one actually in 626 00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:52.599 the twenty eighteen version of Halloween, there's a good pumpkinhead. Oh yeah. 627 00:45:52.840 --> 00:45:58.440 It cuts the dude's head off and then he like I guess he like takes 628 00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:01.119 his brain out or no, then he puts candles in his eyes like a 629 00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:05.960 Jack o' lantern. But I'm pretty sure they copied that right from the movie 630 00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:08.920 Terrifier. But it doesn't matter because it's awesome both times, because it does 631 00:46:08.960 --> 00:46:14.800 also happen in Terrifier. Do not recommend that movie for the Faint of Heart's 632 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:17.519 extreme movie? Yeah, series, that's the first movie I watched as an 633 00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:20.760 adult, like a horror film that I was like, I feel like, 634 00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:27.760 very uncomfortable. It's a very very dreadful glory film about a demonic clown named 635 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:31.960 Art. But anyway, moving on from that, yeah, it's like I 636 00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:37.360 don't agree with this, you know, I think it's pretty clear in modern 637 00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:38.519 times to see like, you know, right, from wrong, Like, 638 00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:45.320 but I could see where they're coming from. In ancient times, they believed 639 00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:49.079 that that one day of the year where the veil was thinner, where they 640 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.960 could let their shadow side room free and just do whatever they want, similar 641 00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:55.119 to how they did in like Dianic and rituals. Yeah, they believed that 642 00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:59.239 it was like a purging of the negativity. Yeah, I mean, dude, 643 00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:02.000 we're talking about thousand years exactly. Yeah, they thought it's a completely 644 00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.719 different world. But you know, it's like, you know, imagine going 645 00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:07.599 to like an eyes wide, shut mask party and then you gotta, you 646 00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:09.840 know, go home to your wife the next day. It's pretty weird. 647 00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:13.960 It's not it's not good for you. Sure, it's not recommended, but 648 00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:22.760 they did believe that way. So according to Halloween Costumes dot Com Credible Credible, 649 00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:29.000 jack O'Lantern origin comes from Ireland as well. So according to the Irish 650 00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.440 folklore, there was a man sentenced to roam the earth for the rest of 651 00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:37.639 eternity. This man was called Jack o Lantern and he was thought to be 652 00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:42.800 a ghostly figure that walked around with a coal burning inside of a carved turnip 653 00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:46.360 to light the way. The story goes that a man named Stingy Jack decided 654 00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:51.280 to invite the devil to have a drink and then strict him into shape, 655 00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:55.119 shifting into a coin to pay with. When the devil agreed, Jack decided 656 00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:59.840 that he wanted the coin for different reasons and kept it in his pocket next 657 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.800 to a silver cross to keep the coin from returning to its original form. 658 00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:08.039 Dang, that's crazy, Berry, You know what, I just had the 659 00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:13.360 craziest thought. We should eventually do an episode on like Faustian type stuff. 660 00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.800 Are you familiar with that? You know, the old story of like meeting 661 00:48:15.800 --> 00:48:20.079 the devil at the crossroads and making a deal. That's how old German writer 662 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.000 named goh It. I don't know how to pronounce it that well, but 663 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.280 it's like g o E t h e. He's like one of the most 664 00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:30.960 famous classical writers in all of German history. Like I remember walking around Frankfurt 665 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:32.400 the first time I was there and seeing a statue in his honor. He's 666 00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:37.119 like, he's a classic writer and he came up with Faust. It's the 667 00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:40.360 It's the story of Faust goes to the woods. He's at a crossroads and 668 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:43.880 he makes a deal with the devil. That's where it all comes from. 669 00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:46.280 It's wow, that's sick German folklore. But that could be a cool episode, 670 00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:50.480 Yeah, something like that, something about folk tales. I don't know, 671 00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:53.760 Yeah, it could be cool. Did he ever come across a boy 672 00:48:53.840 --> 00:49:00.000 with a fiddle? I don't know. I love that. It's amazing. 673 00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:04.000 That was like my favorite song to play on guitar Hero three. You know 674 00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:09.159 that the main fiddle guy in that band is from like right around here, 675 00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:14.639 Charlie Daniels, or is Charlie Daniels, he's the lead. I didn't you 676 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:16.320 know he's from Leland. Yeah, yes, that's wild, dude. My 677 00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:21.280 dad took me to where he grew up. That's cool, dude. He 678 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:24.719 grew up on a swamp, like literally like in a swamp or maybe was 679 00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:30.440 it Leland or Bergall because Bergall literally means swamp. I don't remember if where 680 00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:35.800 specifically it was. I remember being little and because my dad was always really 681 00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:38.920 into Charlie Daniels band, and he took me there. We were like on 682 00:49:38.960 --> 00:49:42.039 a road trip or something, and we were passing by and he was like, 683 00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.280 I'm gonna take you to Charlie daniels old house. That's awesome. Yeah, 684 00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:50.239 yeah, well, I have good news where we're only about halfway through 685 00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:53.920 our notes here. Oh cool, so we're doing pretty well. Not Valentine's 686 00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:59.960 Day. I made sure we weren't gonna run out this time, Okay, 687 00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:01.360 So moving on. They let their shat aside run free. That's where the 688 00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:06.440 masks and the costumes come from. They would hold these large ritual bondfires or 689 00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:09.239 bone fires, and they would burn the sacrificial offerings because they believed that the 690 00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:16.519 immolation or the burning of a sacrificial altering offering on an altar would transport the 691 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:21.800 offering to the spiritual realms. And if you look at a lot of like 692 00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.800 these ancient mystery traditions, a lot of times the divine or the creator of 693 00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.199 the cosmosis seen as like a flame or a fire, you know, like 694 00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.519 the fire of the Holy. Yeah, it was just believed that through the 695 00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:37.000 fire it would be transmitted to the spirit world. So again there's all this 696 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:42.679 evidence of you know, the bonfires around the mounds. So over time it 697 00:50:42.840 --> 00:50:46.079 became more associated, like I said earlier, because with fear and darkness, 698 00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:51.880 because of paranoia, with the rise of Christianity, it started picking up more 699 00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.920 themes of like black magic, evil, spirits. They believed that on the 700 00:50:55.079 --> 00:51:00.880 eve of October thirty first, So again this is probably more so the medieval 701 00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:04.119 era, which is only like a thousand plus years ago. You know, 702 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:10.320 we're past ancient Gaelic history for the moment. They believed that supernatural creatures would 703 00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:15.000 roam through the veil on the eve of October thirty first, so I guess 704 00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:19.760 October thirtieth, like the night before, Yeah, when the veil is increasing 705 00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:22.159 in its potency. They believed that these demonic creatures would come through, and 706 00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:27.360 they would pierce through from the dark void, and they would roam the land, 707 00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:32.400 haunting churchyards, farms and crossroads. In Ireland, it was called again 708 00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:36.840 I do not know how to pronounce this, but it was called oich shamhana 709 00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:42.880 or a goblin knight, goblin night, goblin knight. The spirits are roaming 710 00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.719 to land in search of victims to haunt and possess, is what they believed. 711 00:51:46.039 --> 00:51:51.079 Travelers would carry a hazel stick or a black shafted knife, used them 712 00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:53.639 as protection charms. They would have protection charms in their house a lot of 713 00:51:53.679 --> 00:51:57.960 time. It's like a five pointed star because actually, you know, pre 714 00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:01.519 Satanic Panic and modern Christianity times. The five point of star pointed up right 715 00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:06.599 actually is believed to be protection from evil. Whoa, you know, this 716 00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.400 is my tailisman. It protects me from the horseman. What are you? 717 00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:15.039 What's happening? I have no idea. I don't understand the reference. Like 718 00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:19.559 what was that uh from the movie with the headless horseman? Take about like 719 00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:22.559 sleepy yeah, yeah, and the guy that is one of the characters in 720 00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:24.679 the movie, and he's like everybody's dying around him and he's in the middle 721 00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:28.800 of the road. He goes, he's clutching across this is my talent, 722 00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:30.880 that's deep. It protects me from the horseman. And then the horseman comes 723 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:36.840 up behind him and just wop. So the charms didn't work. It was 724 00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:38.920 proved in the Johnny Depp movie. That was the Johnny Depp movie, right, 725 00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:43.159 that's the version. Yeah, I've actually me and Olivia we laugh about 726 00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:45.559 that, so I say that all. It's been a long time since I 727 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:47.559 saw that one. I've never seen that one. It's great. I need 728 00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:51.599 to watch it. I said that like Tony the Tiger, but it really 729 00:52:51.840 --> 00:52:57.440 it really is. I saw a dude, dude. They had the like 730 00:52:57.639 --> 00:53:02.119 the funniest some people. This stuff that was still relevant in Mexico, honestly, 731 00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:07.559 was was so amazing to see. I didn't I've never talked about Mexico 732 00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:08.840 yet. I mean, I know this isn't the episode, but it was 733 00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:12.800 our first time recording since getting back from Mexico, right yeah, oh yeah, 734 00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:15.079 We'll have to talk about that in one of the next episodes. But 735 00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:20.079 dude, the stuff that was relevant there was wild, like years oh beyond. 736 00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:22.159 I saw a guy walking around with like a polo shirt with Tony the 737 00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:27.320 Tiger on it. I'm telling you, bro, like it is a different 738 00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:30.400 realm. It was magic. It was like it was it was like a 739 00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:39.159 shamanic retreat for me in a decade and he just had like a polo shirt 740 00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:43.639 with Tony. I loved it. It was all kinds of stuff like that 741 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:50.199 little Wooden Marionette puppets of like Woody and Bart Simpson and Captain America and like 742 00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:52.920 it was. It was amazing. I loved it. In a future episode, 743 00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:57.679 I'll talk about Mexico. Yeah, awesome. So they would carry the 744 00:53:57.800 --> 00:54:00.480 charms, okay, so they believed that a Blacks spirit bore would stalk the 745 00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:07.880 ritual bonfires and attack the last person to leave. Wow. Yeah, right. 746 00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:13.360 They would dress up in costumes of eventually that idea of the costumes morphed, 747 00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:15.639 you know, the masks and all that because they believed it's like the 748 00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:20.719 evil spirits that coming through are tricking them, so they would wear the costumes 749 00:54:20.800 --> 00:54:24.760 and the masks to deceive and prank the evil spirits. So it's like trick 750 00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:29.360 or treat, you know, like the trick being We're going to prank the 751 00:54:29.440 --> 00:54:31.480 evil spirits. We're gonna fight fire with fire because they're trying to deceive us 752 00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:35.320 with lies and deception, so we're going to throw it back at them as 753 00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:38.760 like a magical ritual, right, So they would wear masks and costumes and 754 00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.000 they would dance around the ritual bonfires on this night with all their charms and 755 00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:50.039 sacrifices. So that's where trick or treat comes from. And the North Shetland 756 00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:54.320 Isles it was known as hallow Mass, which is the night that trolls would 757 00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:59.719 come out of the wilderness and steal livestock and crops. So in certain parts 758 00:54:59.719 --> 00:55:04.519 of England it was known as witch Leyden where people would walk around the foothills 759 00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:07.880 in the dark of night with lit candles. If the dark or if the 760 00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.559 candle went out, that meant that there was a witch nearby and they were 761 00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:16.519 going to be attacked with curses or hexes w So the okay, So I 762 00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:27.119 wanted to talk about like how symbols are used. They're like very complex, 763 00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:36.079 Like symbolism is so important as many P Hall said. Check it out firebook 764 00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:37.840 right here, The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall. 765 00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:42.920 It is a phenomenal book. It is one of the most like it's about 766 00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:46.159 seven hundred pages with the addition I have, and like it covers. I 767 00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:50.599 just opened it to a random page. The orphic mysteries, flip through on 768 00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:52.760 the sphinx, the back, it can die and icy in rights. It 769 00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:59.119 has almost every the Holy Spirit, like anything you can think of that's esoteric, 770 00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.639 the towel cross, the Egyptian town, the crux in Sada, the 771 00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:10.000 unk just covers everything you think of Persian magic, Babylonian, Chaldean reptiles. 772 00:56:12.079 --> 00:56:15.440 I reptiles, Yeah right, I didn't even read what about isis the version 773 00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:16.920 of the world? Anyway. My point is, Manley P. Hall, 774 00:56:17.199 --> 00:56:22.079 is, if you look at the history of the transmission of occult text throughout 775 00:56:22.239 --> 00:56:27.440 all time even until now, like up to the twentieth century. Manley P. 776 00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:30.000 Hall is one of those names where when you get into this subject, 777 00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:34.320 he's one of those Titanic legendary names that everyone's like, you got to check 778 00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:36.159 him out, you gotta check him out, you got to check them out. 779 00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:42.039 And he was so knowledgeable in the mysteries of the occult and the esoteric 780 00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:46.159 that he was actually gifted in honorary thirty through third thirty. Talked about that, 781 00:56:46.880 --> 00:56:51.840 Jeff Harmon, Yes, it was gifted in honorary thirty third degree initiation 782 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:53.320 into the Freemasons, and then he had a mysterious death. So it's like 783 00:56:53.320 --> 00:57:00.840 who knows. But my point is one of his most famous quotes is symbolism. 784 00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:02.960 Can you look this quote up for me, because I don't know what 785 00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:06.360 word for word, but it's I know the gist of it. Just just 786 00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:12.719 type like Manly P. Hall quote symbolism language. It's like, it's like 787 00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:16.400 symbolism is the language of the unconscious mind or there's something to that effect. 788 00:57:16.519 --> 00:57:21.960 But you got to be pretty cool for your parents to name you Manly. 789 00:57:22.559 --> 00:57:27.440 Yeah, you know what I mean. I don't know if uh tell me 790 00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:30.119 if I'm on here. This is the first thing that popped up. Symbolism 791 00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:35.320 is the language of the mysteries by symbols men have ever sought to communicate to 792 00:57:35.440 --> 00:57:38.760 each other those thoughts which transcend the limitations of language. That's it. No, 793 00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:40.920 that's it. That's it. Wow, And that's what I want to 794 00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:47.719 talk about. How a lot of these symbols that have existed throughout all the 795 00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:52.599 ages of time, they have meanings that are far more complex then we have 796 00:57:52.880 --> 00:58:00.159 the bandwidth of like linguistic capabilities to describe into fab them. So like when 797 00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:02.880 you look at a five pointed star, or you look at a cross, 798 00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:08.039 or you look at I don't know, an on or I mean any symbol 799 00:58:08.039 --> 00:58:12.599 you can think of, metatrons, cute, whatever, any any sacred, 800 00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:16.880 geometric, esoteric symbol. You look at it and it evokes feelings and images 801 00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:22.320 and complex thoughts and emotions that go beyond what you can just describe. Right. 802 00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:29.480 That's He's that quote is so eleg describes. It's like it's like symbols, 803 00:58:30.320 --> 00:58:35.039 you know, like there's there's there's there's a ritual magic type stuff for 804 00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:39.760 ceremonial magic where it's like you know, drawing certain symbols to connect to the 805 00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:45.079 geometry of the lines and the shapes and the angles, and like trying to 806 00:58:46.119 --> 00:58:49.840 become in a trance like state and feel the energy, you know, like 807 00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:52.360 getting a square in a compass and drawing out certain patterns, Like there's an 808 00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:57.519 actual belief that there is an energy in the math and the numbers of the 809 00:58:57.559 --> 00:59:00.320 symbols, Like there's some sort of divine energy that comes from a realm that's 810 00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:05.079 beyond the physical world. You know. It's like there's something too, there's 811 00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:08.280 something complex about symbols that is beyond what we can fathom. That's that's the 812 00:59:08.320 --> 00:59:13.360 point, you know. The compass is part of the Mason logo exactly in 813 00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:15.960 the square. Yeah, And you know, if you think about it, 814 00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:20.960 like there's only so far you can go with like rudimentary spoken or written language. 815 00:59:21.400 --> 00:59:27.199 The brain, the human mind is so much bigger than even what we 816 00:59:27.440 --> 00:59:32.400 can create as a written or spoken language, Like we can't we can't communicate 817 00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:37.440 everything to one another. There are certain things that are just too big for 818 00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:43.679 us to even communicate. And symbolic or metaphorical where the abstract, yeah, 819 00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:46.719 I think, you know, symbolism is like a portal into the spiritual world 820 00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:51.679 of the abstract. Yeah, there are things that just can't be rationalized. 821 00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:55.519 They just can't because they're formless. Yeah, rationality is like low key, 822 00:59:57.000 --> 01:00:00.719 like kind of invented by humanity. Like if you think about it, like, 823 01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:04.360 you know, sure things kind of work in this realm, they kind 824 01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:08.519 of work together or whatever, but in the realm above us, like we 825 01:00:08.719 --> 01:00:14.239 have no clue how any of it works. But we're getting these like these 826 01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:19.559 like little drops and these little things from that realm that we can only describe 827 01:00:19.719 --> 01:00:22.760 with symbols. Yeah, because that's how it appears to us. Right, 828 01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:27.719 We're in this this silly, little rudimentary meat body, you know, right, 829 01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:32.239 Right, So I say all that to say that traditionally, because of 830 01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:37.039 you know, the symbolism thing, Traditionally, night has been associated with evil 831 01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:42.480 because of the paranoia with the rise of the Christianity in the medieval ages. 832 01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:45.519 That you get all the symbolism of witches and speaky demons and spirits in the 833 01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:50.960 night. But it's like, you know, symbols don't have to have an 834 01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:53.440 evil meaning. I think that anything that exists in nature, even death, 835 01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:59.000 is not inherently evil, right, It's inherently natural. Yes, it's inherently 836 01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:02.079 a part of the process of creation. Yeah, you know, so like 837 01:01:04.599 --> 01:01:09.719 over time it became associated with the color black and the color orange, the 838 01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:14.199 bond, the fires of the night, the I mean, I guess you 839 01:01:14.239 --> 01:01:16.840 could say pumpkins, but I really imagine it because of the darkness of night 840 01:01:16.880 --> 01:01:20.920 and the fires burning into the night. So we have these themes of black 841 01:01:21.000 --> 01:01:25.039 and orange of Halloween, which eventually became you know, witches and demons and 842 01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:29.119 spooks and goblins and you know, and and and you know, in the 843 01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:32.159 Shetland ailes are thinking goblins are taking their crops, and it morphed into this 844 01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:38.039 dark thing, you know. But like before that, it was more like 845 01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:42.639 just assisting the spirits into the next realm. You know. Yeah, that's 846 01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:45.360 my whole point. It's like, there's this association to the symbolism, but 847 01:01:45.480 --> 01:01:51.000 there might be something more natural behind it. That's that's not understood anymore in 848 01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:54.320 modern times. You know. Yeah, no, absolutely, And who knows, 849 01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:58.400 bruh, we didn't live a couple thousand years ago. Maybe there was 850 01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:07.840 goblins, he did, but there was gnomes. Bro tiktokk videos on the 851 01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:13.679 TikTok I felt like Danny McBride show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 852 01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:15.760 I mean, dude, if they if they have a whole like history 853 01:02:16.159 --> 01:02:22.599 like that can be observed where they're carrying around specific knives to hoard off goblins. 854 01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:24.719 Yeah, maybe there were goblins. Wait, y'all don't have a Goblin 855 01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:29.559 knife. I do not. I don't have it on me. Yeah, 856 01:02:29.639 --> 01:02:30.679 you got a good shall at Goblin Well, I mean yeah, I just 857 01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:34.679 don't. I don't keep it on me. I definitely want a Goblin Knight. 858 01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:37.800 I definitely want one. Yeah, Goblin knife on Goblin Knight. Just 859 01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:44.960 my my personal reflection on everything here so far is basically like your personal reflection 860 01:02:45.239 --> 01:02:50.239 is in Ryan's classes. Yeah, his angelic. I'm about to hit him 861 01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:55.280 with the light beam. Sorry, what were you guys? Say? No, 862 01:02:55.440 --> 01:03:00.079 So it's like the vailis thin. Do with at what you will, 863 01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:04.199 right. You've got some people who are like, oh, I'm going to 864 01:03:04.280 --> 01:03:07.880 use this to communicate with my passed away relatives and like usher them into the 865 01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:13.960 next life. And then you got other people that are like the goblins exactly. 866 01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:19.599 Overtime and overtime it became this ridiculous thing, you know, it's it's 867 01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:24.119 crazy, and now we just walk around getting candy from our neighbors. So 868 01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:30.079 where the goblins take due? Yeah, we're the spirits. We're the goblins. 869 01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:35.519 We are the spirits with the masks and the costumes and coming to steal 870 01:03:35.599 --> 01:03:39.159 the crops in the livestock, the candy, corn and the fruits. All 871 01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:44.280 year you spent your hard earned money and then the goblins just came and took 872 01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:47.360 it. Yeah, they're making sacrifices to us. Yes. Well, I 873 01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:52.320 like how we're saying us, like we still go trigger treating, but we 874 01:03:52.480 --> 01:03:55.039 don't. I'm almost thirty, Like we don't do that, you know, 875 01:03:55.719 --> 01:04:00.400 thirty? Yeah I am thirty now. Yeah we did do that for a 876 01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:03.559 while. But why can't I go trick or treating? Bro, I might 877 01:04:03.639 --> 01:04:06.679 go scare the tricker treats as a zombie. I'm really considering it, but 878 01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:10.719 I don't know if I feel good about scaring kids. I don't know. 879 01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:15.039 I'm part of Halloween. Yeah. It also you got to remember, anybody 880 01:04:15.079 --> 01:04:18.840 who's going through that thing is literally paying to go through it, or does 881 01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:21.360 he charge people? No, No, it's just like, well they are 882 01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:24.800 choosing to go through. Yeah. I just don't know if I want to 883 01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:28.000 be responsible for like traumatizing some kid. No, no, you know, 884 01:04:28.719 --> 01:04:30.920 now, if it's a child, just stay still. That's true. I 885 01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.639 mean, I'd be the friendly zombie. You got to pick and choose. 886 01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:39.039 But me, though, I love scaring kids. You gotta go as mudra 887 01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:43.480 man zombie, I thought. Dude, I honestly thought about just showing up 888 01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:46.880 as mudra man just to troll his boss. I wouldn't do that. Don't 889 01:04:46.880 --> 01:04:48.559 worry. I would not do that. You're like, all right, put 890 01:04:48.599 --> 01:04:55.639 the making up for me, for your safety. I don't care. He's 891 01:04:55.719 --> 01:05:00.519 the mudra ma's the zombie. So, speaking back to the symbolism thing over 892 01:05:00.639 --> 01:05:03.440 time, the creatures of the now night, like the owls, the toads, 893 01:05:04.039 --> 01:05:09.719 the reptiles, the cats. They were associated in the medieval era as 894 01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:14.159 the wizards, the witches. Familiar. Yeah, you know, just just 895 01:05:14.280 --> 01:05:16.079 through association because they they roam around in the night, so they have to 896 01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:19.320 be a part of the darkness. Well. Also there was another thing that 897 01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:24.320 culture, like basically, you know, older women who lived alone, if 898 01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:28.159 they were widowed or whatever, like, they would usually feed cats around their 899 01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:30.159 area. They would have cats. That's kind of how like the quote unquote 900 01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:34.159 crazy cat Lady things started. But like thousands or maybe hundreds of years ago, 901 01:05:34.280 --> 01:05:39.760 rather like people thought they were witches. Look at all cats hanging out 902 01:05:39.800 --> 01:05:43.159 around them, Like, what, she must be a witch. She stays 903 01:05:43.159 --> 01:05:45.920 in her house all day with all those freaking cats, and like, you 904 01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.679 know, that's that's where a lot of that stuff came from too. It's 905 01:05:47.719 --> 01:05:53.199 interesting, it's pretty wild. They would have these rituals where they would throw 906 01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:56.519 torches in the bonfire, making them brighter and hotter, and they would say, 907 01:05:57.000 --> 01:06:00.119 brave bone, fire, burn to keep the fairies away. Why did 908 01:06:00.199 --> 01:06:03.800 you keep him away? Remember? Over time it became more like in fear 909 01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:08.920 of the spirits and the tricks, they're like stigmatized it like between thousands of 910 01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:13.000 years of where it started and then where it was in the Middle Ages with 911 01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:15.800 all the witchcraft and stuff, it became more like, okay, now we 912 01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:20.360 want to keep spirits away. It's like it's like Middle Age Satanic panic kind 913 01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:27.079 of the Medievay. Actually just like actually it's just been that since Catholicism has 914 01:06:27.119 --> 01:06:31.960 existed pretty much pretty much. Yeah, it's what yield. There you go. 915 01:06:32.320 --> 01:06:36.519 It was borderline satanic panic for an entire age of two thousand years. 916 01:06:36.679 --> 01:06:39.800 What do you really think about it. No, yeah, it's that's kind 917 01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:43.320 of crazy. I think we're like finally starting to get out of it. 918 01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:45.320 Yeah, it feels that way at least, I think so like people are 919 01:06:45.440 --> 01:06:48.880 chilling down a little. Well, some people, well you know, mooder 920 01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:54.199 Man's been Yeah, you've been putting in work. You've been putting it. 921 01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:58.519 Word bro and Slippy. Yes, I mean, of course flying around by 922 01:06:58.519 --> 01:07:04.840 our angel, he guides me, following him. Yeah, he's Navve. 923 01:07:05.239 --> 01:07:09.000 You know, I played as Slippy when I was a kid because my big 924 01:07:09.039 --> 01:07:13.000 brothers would be like Fox or Falco. I like playing Slippy was peppy. 925 01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:16.280 I like Peppy to like, but Slippy was my guy. I love Slippy. 926 01:07:16.320 --> 01:07:19.920 I always did hat where's your hat? At it fell and I didn't 927 01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:23.280 feel like I'll get it. Hang on, you don't got to do that. 928 01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:27.559 So we're actually almost at the end of our notes here pretty much. 929 01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:32.159 So the night is the embodiment of the mysteries of the unconscious mind and nature 930 01:07:32.360 --> 01:07:35.760 on the metaphysical level. So, like I believe when you look at symbolism 931 01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:40.559 for what it really is, it's like you know, night, darkness, 932 01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:46.000 death, cold, It's it's not evil, but it's symbolic of the subconscious 933 01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:53.159 or the lower realm of the invisible or the hidden or the formless void. 934 01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:56.960 You know, it's like that doesn't at the highest level that it's not evil, 935 01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:00.719 it's just a part of nature. Yeah, yeah, I mean there 936 01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:04.280 are cultures the great macrocosm. There are cultures that look view death as evil, 937 01:08:04.840 --> 01:08:08.679 you know, right, yeah, it's not. It's just I believe 938 01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:12.960 in the scheme of the great macrocosmic, you know, existence of everything in 939 01:08:13.000 --> 01:08:18.680 the infinite, like they're there, there's there's no there's no evil in the 940 01:08:18.960 --> 01:08:24.880 natural order of the universe. I believe that like we here on this level 941 01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:29.079 are the ones creating evil, but like in reality, you know, it's 942 01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:33.359 it's coming from it's like it's coming from mankind. But then the ones in 943 01:08:33.439 --> 01:08:41.880 power are spiritually convincing us that you know, it's you don't think there are 944 01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:47.159 any sort of like evil or dark energies out there like that are beyond human 945 01:08:47.399 --> 01:08:53.520 in the great cosmic scale. No, I think it's like manifestations in the 946 01:08:53.600 --> 01:08:57.279 realm of thought from us. I don't. I don't think there's a devil. 947 01:08:57.600 --> 01:09:00.800 I just don't. Oh yeah, I think I think that there are 948 01:09:00.359 --> 01:09:05.800 parasitic thought forms and negative spirits that exist because of the human race having lived 949 01:09:05.800 --> 01:09:10.680 here for so many thousands of years that we create like an Yeah, I 950 01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:13.880 think it's more like that, like it's on the our level. But dude, 951 01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:16.000 like you zoom out and you look at the great scale of everything, 952 01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:20.239 like it's you know, it's like you look fifty trillion light years away and 953 01:09:20.279 --> 01:09:25.000 it's just like stars are bumping into each other and exploding. Like it's not 954 01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:29.880 evil, it's just it's it's just nature is created and then it dies, 955 01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:32.399 and then it's created again and then it dies. Like it's I don't I 956 01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:36.760 don't think that evil is created by the divine, you know, I think 957 01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:42.680 we see it. It's interesting because you know, like if you get kind 958 01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:46.319 of philosophical about it, you know, we're created by the divine. Yeah, 959 01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:50.279 and but we're created in its image. We're like lesser gods, you 960 01:09:50.359 --> 01:09:55.479 know, because we have that spark, right that animals don't have. Yeah, 961 01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:58.960 it's I don't know. I don't know. That's something that I like 962 01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:02.640 to ponder about because like I I don't know, man, there's because there 963 01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:09.239 are some things that you can observe in nature that feel a little wrong, 964 01:10:09.600 --> 01:10:14.479 like feel pretty like there are there are certain animals that will like straight up 965 01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.960 like kill and torture other animals for like sport, like you know what I 966 01:10:18.039 --> 01:10:24.720 mean. There are things on smaller scales that that are nature and not involved 967 01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:29.079 with humanity that are like that's true, that's kind of that's kind of crazy, 968 01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:31.760 like a praying mantis eating the head of its mate, like you know, 969 01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:35.479 yeah, likes female spiders. Yeah, there's some stuff. I don't 970 01:10:35.479 --> 01:10:41.079 know. It seems like it seems like in a lot of ancient cultures they 971 01:10:41.159 --> 01:10:46.479 always describe a dark shadow like entity or yeah, that's true. I just 972 01:10:46.640 --> 01:10:48.920 I don't know, like where I'm at, Like, I don't I don't 973 01:10:49.079 --> 01:10:54.880 believe that there truly is a force that in the great scheme of things that 974 01:10:55.039 --> 01:10:58.119 actually can oppose the light. Well, no, it's not, it's not 975 01:10:58.279 --> 01:11:00.840 that could it could oppose it maybe, but it is. It's like counter 976 01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:05.399 there's something that it's yin and yang. It's you know, there's always an 977 01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:10.800 an well, for lack of a better term, and equal opposite. It 978 01:11:10.880 --> 01:11:15.119 may not literally be equal, but also dude, like what if that darkness 979 01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:19.239 existed as a part of this realm? Because you know, it's like you 980 01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:24.119 know, the snake that eats the rat, or the locusts that swarm the 981 01:11:24.159 --> 01:11:28.239 crops, like they're as above so below. Yeah, if it exists in 982 01:11:28.319 --> 01:11:31.000 this realm, it has to exist in the other realm. It has to 983 01:11:31.800 --> 01:11:35.439 But also like it's a part of the process of life and death, you 984 01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:39.399 know what I mean. Like, I don't think that animals are just like 985 01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:45.199 you know, maybe super smart animals like chimpanzees or certain birds or elephants, 986 01:11:45.279 --> 01:11:47.399 can you know, get revenge on you and you can hold grudges and things 987 01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:50.319 like that. But like I don't know, Like I just I don't think 988 01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:55.319 of nature in terms of evil. I think of it in terms of natural 989 01:11:55.920 --> 01:11:59.319 you know, like it's neutral and like we put the meaning on it because 990 01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:01.920 of ours since activity to life and death. Like it's it's just this great 991 01:12:02.039 --> 01:12:06.640 process that we don't understand. That's just my take on it. Sure there 992 01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:12.680 is evil, Yeah, I see what you're saying. From the Wisdom tradition 993 01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:15.680 mythology, it's like there was the great cosmic mind. You know, there's 994 01:12:15.720 --> 01:12:20.199 God, the original true God, and then from that manifested the feminine, 995 01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:26.199 the Mother, who then created the physical which is the realm that we existed. 996 01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:30.239 But it's like birth is painful, right, Like, what's the first 997 01:12:30.239 --> 01:12:32.880 thing that happens in human birth? You come out and you're crying. It's 998 01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:38.560 agony. It's you're choking to breathe and your senses are disoriented, and you 999 01:12:38.680 --> 01:12:41.720 have no knowledge in you're screaming. Crying is the first thing you ever do. 1000 01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:46.520 It's like the separation from the divine into the realm is it's like a 1001 01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:51.039 test, you know. It's like we come here to grow to be more 1002 01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:56.920 spiritual and like on the cosmic level of intelligence. I don't know if any 1003 01:12:56.920 --> 01:12:59.640 of that makes sense. No, I definitely see what you're saying. It's 1004 01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:04.960 int't I've never thought about it from that lens before of there not being like 1005 01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:11.079 some cosmic reflection of the spirit of evil, because you know, we talk 1006 01:13:11.159 --> 01:13:14.479 about as above so below. If it exists here, it exists there. 1007 01:13:14.600 --> 01:13:21.399 That that kind of reflection thing. I've never thought about the possibility that that 1008 01:13:21.720 --> 01:13:30.439 counterpart, that shadow counterpart, came from this realm exclusively and didn't exist anywhere 1009 01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:33.000 else. The gnostic myth, the gnostic myth, which I'm not saying this 1010 01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:35.920 is truth. I'm just saying it's one version of the story. The gnostic 1011 01:13:35.960 --> 01:13:40.399 myth is like you know, again there's that original mind, the logos, 1012 01:13:40.560 --> 01:13:45.039 God, the true all or the infinite, and then from it came Sophia, 1013 01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:46.159 which you could say is the lady or the mother. And then from 1014 01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:50.640 her came the Demiurge, which is like the the manipulator of this realm. 1015 01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:55.279 You know, like there is a force, there is a dark force, 1016 01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:58.720 right, but I'm just saying it's like it's on our level. Yeah, 1017 01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:00.039 you know what I mean, Like it's the realm. I mean, it 1018 01:14:00.079 --> 01:14:03.680 goes, it's the realm. It goes right along with like this is hell 1019 01:14:04.239 --> 01:14:06.640 kind of thing. You know. I think it's the exactly. That's what 1020 01:14:06.680 --> 01:14:10.479 I'm trying to get at. Like I think it is the realm. Okay, 1021 01:14:10.520 --> 01:14:13.239 we come here and it's supposed to be hard. It's supposed to be 1022 01:14:13.399 --> 01:14:16.600 tough because it's like the pain of growing into it. We're separated from the 1023 01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:21.319 divine and now we have to grow on our own, which is a painful 1024 01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:26.479 project. Bro. Middle school sucked, right, Like you get through these 1025 01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:29.479 growing pains of puberty, you know, you have all these problems and you 1026 01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:31.640 get to high school. That really sucks. You know, growing up sucks. 1027 01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:33.479 Like, really, when you think about it, it's fun, it's 1028 01:14:33.479 --> 01:14:36.600 awesome, but it also sucks at the same time. It's tough. Sure, 1029 01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:44.239 it's the mirror of growing into the the spiritual intellig'll explain it it was, 1030 01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:49.079 but like the process of human life is a mirror image of the divine 1031 01:14:49.119 --> 01:14:54.479 in creation. It's like that's the as above, so below it's it's a 1032 01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:58.439 Really that's an super interesting way of looking at it. That's cool. I 1033 01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:03.239 want to think about that more. Like I think I think the Devil is 1034 01:15:03.399 --> 01:15:08.079 not some force out there that's stalking us, like we've been made to believe 1035 01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:14.600 by the Catholic Empire, but I think in reality, it exists inside every 1036 01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:17.399 one of us, because we have the light and the shadow yin Yang we 1037 01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:25.159 are both. We human beings are Lucifer and Christ or we are God and 1038 01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:29.279 the Devil, and like it's up to us and our free will to choose 1039 01:15:29.319 --> 01:15:31.479 a light. Yeah. You know, it's like that old Native American myth. 1040 01:15:31.560 --> 01:15:34.520 You have the two wolves inside of you, and it's like they're fighting 1041 01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:38.880 for your soul, and like whichever one you feed is the one that you 1042 01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:41.680 know wins wins. Yeah, that's that's how I see it, you know, 1043 01:15:41.840 --> 01:15:44.399 like there is a force, but I don't think there's a devil. 1044 01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:48.800 Yeah, I definitely don't think there's a devil. Yeah there's something. Yeah. 1045 01:15:48.920 --> 01:15:51.720 But anyway, so that was that was a really fun tangent. So 1046 01:15:51.800 --> 01:15:56.720 the Night the Knights, the embodiment of the mysteries of the unconscious mind and 1047 01:15:56.880 --> 01:16:00.279 nature. On the metaphysical level and the far distant ancient past, it was 1048 01:16:00.359 --> 01:16:03.680 considered a time some oon or Halloween. It was considered a time of positive 1049 01:16:03.720 --> 01:16:09.199 contemplation and assistance of the dead and their passage between the worlds. Exactly similar 1050 01:16:09.239 --> 01:16:14.319 to eldadlo smaritos. They're having like tequila and ofrindas and you know, all 1051 01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:17.439 this food and cakes and pastries and candy to their dead, and they're partying 1052 01:16:17.479 --> 01:16:20.479 with them and they're there in their mind. It's like they're coming back to 1053 01:16:20.600 --> 01:16:25.800 visit us. It was like that. In the ancient past. Divination was 1054 01:16:25.840 --> 01:16:30.119 heavily practiced, even by the least mystical, because they believed that the entities 1055 01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:32.800 of the spirit world, good and bad, were all closer during this day. 1056 01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:39.720 So like even your ordinary non spiritual pre Celtic, Gaelic, Irish dude 1057 01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:43.760 or or you know whoever five thousand years ago, it was like, Okay, 1058 01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:45.840 today's the day to start throwing bones and seeing if I could get an 1059 01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:48.479 answer from the spirits. Today is my day. Yeah, that was the 1060 01:16:48.560 --> 01:16:55.680 day. So and that's that's basically it. So happy Halloween. You wrap 1061 01:16:55.920 --> 01:17:02.600 that up? Whoa, I got whiplashed from that. So happy Halloween. 1062 01:17:03.720 --> 01:17:10.159 Damn got it? Okay, hell yeah son, you really just cut us 1063 01:17:10.239 --> 01:17:13.600 off. I mean you know, that's that's all I got. You dropped 1064 01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:16.960 the mic on us. Just uh, just gone like a vapor man, 1065 01:17:17.119 --> 01:17:21.359 just like puff a smoke in a bone like a vapor. Yeah, dude, 1066 01:17:21.520 --> 01:17:26.319 just out here throwing bones around. Yeah. Listen, kids, check 1067 01:17:26.399 --> 01:17:30.039 your candy for razor blades always, Yeah, dude, they could. I 1068 01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:35.720 was so scared of that as a kid. I uh, I basically used 1069 01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:41.359 the minimum amount of time from when the candy touched my bag before it got 1070 01:17:41.399 --> 01:17:45.039 into my mouth, so like I never even had time to consider if there 1071 01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.039 was razor blades in it. It was. I already ate it. It 1072 01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:49.840 was gone, dude. Do you remember. Also, like, in addition 1073 01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:53.760 to the razor blade thing, they had us hyped up as kids that also 1074 01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:57.359 like all the gang shootouts and murderings were going on during Hell Yeah, like 1075 01:17:57.840 --> 01:18:00.439 it was so scary, like watch your bag. Even my parents would be 1076 01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:03.720 like, you gotta be careful on Halloween. That's when the crazies come out 1077 01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:06.640 and come with you. It's like, what, there's just a bunch of 1078 01:18:06.760 --> 01:18:11.399 kids walking around the neighborhood getting candy. It's that. Yeah, I never 1079 01:18:11.600 --> 01:18:15.840 saw anything paranoia exactly. It's it's it's just that there's always just there's paranoia. 1080 01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:21.439 There's always paranoia about danger and evil. Yeah, Happy Halloween, Happy 1081 01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:31.920 Halloween, Bye guys, Bye Pumpkinhead. Check it. Weird things happen in 1082 01:18:31.960 --> 01:18:46.279 the backyard of whatsoe house. Shit, it's so weird coming closer to it, 1083 01:18:53.399 --> 01:19:03.880 like smiraling on the inside of it. No one knows discome for I 1084 01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:24.000 ever did. Sighed and happy
