<v Speaker 6>Nick Creating, Sir. Appreciate the invite.

31
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 3>As always, I enjoyed the occult Rejects roundtable discussions we

32
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 3>have here, but tonight, you know specifically because I ever

33
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 3>since I encountered a Kentucky vampire cult years ago that

34
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 3>I've long been interested in these subjects.

35
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 6>So JJ vance not.

36
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 3>The vice president, it's the operation GCD. Definitely looking forward

37
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 3>to the conversation. Julia and Heidi is always great to

38
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 3>join you. It's that's great to meet you.

39
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, thank you very much. Yeah, And when I had

40
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>asked her to come on, I was like, I have

41
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to ask him to come on because I'm gonna be honest.

42
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.319
<v Speaker 2>I really didn't entertain vampire cults too much until you

43
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>had me on and we talked about it. I was like, yoh,

44
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 2>this is really interesting. So I got to get my

45
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>man off for this. So thank you. Like I had

46
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>told you, I think I said, you probably inspired this somehow,

47
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>so I appreciate it. And next, lest but not least,

48

<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, so.

83
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I guess, you know, I guess maybe if you can

84
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe even give us, like a I guess, an idea

85
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>like where you were in your life when this evens,

86
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Like how did you even come about to get get

87
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>into it? You know what I'm saying.

88
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, for sure. So I joined this on it was

89
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.240
<v Speaker 8>the whole thing started online and those of you who's

90
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 8>seen the videos will kind of know the genesis of

91
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 8>the story and the Internet of two thousand and three

92
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 8>was not the Internet of twenty twenty five. It was

93
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 8>different in many, many ways. So I was in high

94
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 8>school at the time. I think I was fifteen. I

95
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 8>might've been sixteen, just but I was a kid, you know,

96
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 8>living with my mom in Australia, which is where I

97
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 8>grew up, and you know, I just was not having

98
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 8>a great time. I was a weird little kid in

99
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 8>a very very boring, suburban beach front kind of existence.

100
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.279
<v Speaker 8>I was a little goth kid, you know, and into

101
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 8>weird music and listen to a lot of like David

102
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 8>Bowie and The Cure and yeah, you know, jam and

103
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 8>reading a lot of and Rise, reading a lot of

104
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 8>other horror novels, and very into the paranormal and the

105
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.959
<v Speaker 8>occult even then. I've been into that since I was

106
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 8>a teeny tiny little kid reading books about witches and

107
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 8>ghosts and stuff. And I just didn't really have a

108
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 8>huge community around me of people in real life. I

109
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 8>had friends, you know, like there are a couple of

110
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 8>people in the TikTok comments who are like, did you

111
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:42.480
<v Speaker 8>ever think of making a friend? I was like, I

112
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 8>had friends, Like, come on, now, I wasn't. I wasn't

113
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 8>a complete loser. But you know, I didn't have a

114
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 8>lot of people in real life that I was able

115
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 8>to vibe with about these bigger things that I was into.

116
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.879
<v Speaker 8>And so, like a lot of people my age, even older,

117
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 8>you know, in that time on the Internet, I went

118
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 8>online and I looked for people who had similar interests.

119
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.959
<v Speaker 8>I was very motivated, even at a young age. You've

120
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 8>been in my teens, you know, to find something more.

121
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 8>I had a real sense that there was something that

122
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 8>existed outside of just paying your bills and working a

123
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 8>shitty job and you know, doing your algebra homework. I

124
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 8>had had some supernatural and paranormal experiences and some spiritual experiences,

125
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 8>and so I took to you know, ask Jeeves. I guess,

126
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 8>just like free everybody using Google. So I asked Jeeves,

127
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 8>you know, vampires, real vampires, real online like, show me

128
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.079
<v Speaker 8>what you got. And came across all sults of strange

129
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 8>and wonderful websites that existed again back in the old

130
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.240
<v Speaker 8>days of the Internet. But one of the websites I

131
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 8>came across was this internet forum that claimed to be

132
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:55.879
<v Speaker 8>run by Anne Rice's Vampires, which is ludicrous on first blush,

133
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.040
<v Speaker 8>but you know, the saga continues.

134
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

135
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 7>So this is like a real cult that's still I

136
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 7>mean they still have it's still operating, and that's.

137
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 8>A great question. What I can say is this, the

138
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 8>people who ran this group definitely do still have an

139
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 8>online presence. And the presence that they have online now

140
00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 8>you know, you can it's a URL that anybody can

141
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 8>type in, and anyone can go to this little back

142
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 8>end site, but you can't see anything. They have a

143
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 8>form that you can fill out and you can say,

144
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 8>you know, were you a current are you a current member?

145
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 8>Where you a former member? Are you a total new

146
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.440
<v Speaker 8>person to this whole thing? And you can request to

147
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 8>join and then they will or will not give you

148
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 8>the log in for the back end of their site.

149
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 8>So it operates. I assume in some sense. I have

150
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 8>not been part of it since I guess they kicked

151
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 8>me out in twenty eleven. The last contact I had

152
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 8>with any of these people was twenty fourteen and it

153
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 8>did not go well. So I don't know how active

154
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 8>it is behind the scenes, but yeah, it's still there.

155
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 4>Did they give names like my name is this? My

156
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:05.440
<v Speaker 4>name is that?

157
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 7>Like specific vampires from like the novens?

158
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so the kind of the setup of the whole group,

159
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 8>and this was part of what when I first found

160
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Speaker 8>it made me think of like, oh, this is a

161
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 8>bunch of bullshit, you know, like I don't know, I'm

162
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 8>assuming we can swear on the occult rejects and I'm

163
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 8>assumed cursing is signed. Sometimes like no, I'm like, I'm

164
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 8>from Australia. There's nothing i can do about that. But yeah,

165
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 8>so most internet forums fandom stuff, you know, and rise

166
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 8>or whatever fandom that you were looking at that existed

167
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 8>at the time. And still if you sign up, you're

168
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 8>signing up either as yourself or you're signing up and saying, hey,

169
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 8>you know, I would love to join your like fune

170
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 8>little role playing game. I would like to play the

171
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 8>role of Lastett. Here's my audition. And then everybody kind

172
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 8>of knows, all right, we're all writing collaboratively. It's a

173
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 8>role play. In real life, I'm celess, but I'm going

174
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.360
<v Speaker 8>to be like lestat. On the internet, this group was

175
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.759
<v Speaker 8>very different. You were not allowed to audition to play

176
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 8>a role. You were not allowed to go on there

177
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 8>and be like I am Nostratu and I'm here to

178
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 8>drink a beer with Lissette in the bar, you had

179
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.600
<v Speaker 8>to just be you. But the moderators at the forum

180
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 8>were the vampires that we had all step We had

181
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 8>a you know, armand we had a Louis met a Marius.

182
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 8>And those people never revealed their real names. They were

183
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 8>in character all the time. And the part that really

184
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 8>turned it into kind of a cult like environment. And

185
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 8>this went on, you know, for me eleven years, I

186
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 8>think I was involved. Other people were involved for much

187
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 8>much longer, but the mosque never dropped at any point,

188
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:53.200
<v Speaker 8>and they really created this environment where they were insisting

189
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 8>we are the immortal vampires, like in one way or another,

190
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:00.039
<v Speaker 8>we are who we claim to be, and if you

191
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 8>don't believe it, you know, we're going to make your

192
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 8>life very difficult. Like either we're either you're just going

193
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 8>to get the boot and you're out of the club,

194
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 8>or we're going to belittle you and bully you and

195
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:13.679
<v Speaker 8>harass you until you come to the party. And there

196
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 8>was a lot of like manipulation that went into convincing

197
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 8>us that this was the truth.

198
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Scientist, I don't know if you know, Oh, I was

199
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 1>just going to say, I didn't know if you knew

200
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 1>about some of the other ones. I actually interviewed an

201
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 1>ex vampire already. He was from the nether really yeah,

202
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 1>and he was in a guys one.

203
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:36.559
<v Speaker 5>It was this guy.

204
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 1>He's a famous guy and they do like shows and

205
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 1>you can go to the show and like they have

206
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 1>like raves and stuff like that, and like back about

207
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the same timeframe.

208
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.440
<v Speaker 5>I can't remember the guy's name that he was a part.

209
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 8>Of the same Is this the Sanguinarian group, It's not,

210
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.960
<v Speaker 8>it's not he has the best and is it?

211
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 5>I think it might be Father's the best.

212
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.799
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well I know, I know, I know those folks

213
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 8>a little bit.

214
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. He sent me a whole bunch of literature. It

215
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 5>was super interesting.

216
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>He sent me like the Temple of the Vampire books

217
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and stuff, and I read a whole bunch of it before.

218
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>So fascinating to hear too, Like he was explaining about

219
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 1>like the mental vampiism versus.

220
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, energy stuff. And that's a funny thing about the

221
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 8>group I was in, Like even though at first blush

222
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 8>you look at it and you think, well, that's peyton

223
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 8>ridiculous of course, Like this person on the internet forum

224
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:30.879
<v Speaker 8>is not a fictional vampire written by Anne Rice. God

225
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:34.679
<v Speaker 8>rest your soul, But there was a lot of intersection

226
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.159
<v Speaker 8>with the groups that you just mentioned, you know, like

227
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 8>what they would call like the real vampire community, the

228
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 8>sanguinarian community, the other kin community, like all of these

229
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 8>things kind of coalescing in a oddly frightening way.

230
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 6>Wow, it sounds like go ahead, I know you're done.

231
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 6>How to go ahead?

232
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

233
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna say, so, did you like get

234
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.159
<v Speaker 1>involved with the other ones? Do they all come together

235
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 1>and like meet at certain times or.

236
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 8>I mean not explicitly, I guess. I think like with

237
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 8>any weird subculture, you know, in the same way as

238
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 8>the goth subculture intersects with the vampire subculture oftentimes just

239
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 8>because you got some shared interests. There were definitely individual

240
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.799
<v Speaker 8>members of the group I was in, and possibly also

241
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 8>moderators that did intersect with the sanguinarian community. It's a

242
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Speaker 8>little convoluted, but very very much. Toward the end of

243
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.200
<v Speaker 8>my involvement with the group, the people involved in running

244
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.279
<v Speaker 8>the group I was in actually founded a like vampire's

245
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.120
<v Speaker 8>only Facebook that they call get Fanged, and the whole

246
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:45.120
<v Speaker 8>get Fanged group was strictly for sanguinarians, so there was overlap,

247
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 8>but to my I mean, I never met anybody that

248
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 8>I know to be a moderator who was like at

249
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 8>any of these events. I've gone to the events, though,

250
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 8>like sometimes I'll go to an endless night ball in

251
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 8>New Orleans. A lot I have my thoughts on a

252
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 8>lot of those people, so I like to keep myself

253
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:07.039
<v Speaker 8>on the gently on the outside looking in. But yeah,

254
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 8>there was definitely I think there was probably a lot

255
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.759
<v Speaker 8>more overlap than I even realize at this point.

256
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.519
<v Speaker 5>Wow, okay, awesome, thank you.

257
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.240
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you welcome, so.

258
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 3>Celesti, you were saying, well, now I have a new

259
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 3>question also to add on there. I appreciate that what's

260
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 3>the sanguinarian.

261
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 6>What is this?

262
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 8>So the sanguinarian community, And again, being not myself a

263
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.159
<v Speaker 8>part of that community, I can only speak as a

264
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.639
<v Speaker 8>kind of fringe outsider. So if I if anything up

265
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.320
<v Speaker 8>and somebody watches this, don't come from me, oh my gosh.

266
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:44.519
<v Speaker 8>But my understanding is that the sanguinarian community is a

267
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 8>vampire based subculture where the participants do drink human blood.

268
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.200
<v Speaker 8>They believe in some sense that they are vampires or

269
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.679
<v Speaker 8>that they are and sometimes sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's

270
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 8>like an it's an energy exchange, right, that's the purpose.

271
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 8>So we're not talking like, you know, filling up an

272
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:04.279
<v Speaker 8>eight pint glass and down in it.

273
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.480
<v Speaker 4>But some of them will blood eggs.

274
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.360
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, or you know, you'll have a donor and someone

275
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.200
<v Speaker 8>you know, you'll have your your donor who shut up.

276
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he said, it's all like they he was each other. Yeah,

277
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and it has to be like all checked out and

278
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>like yeah, contracts.

279
00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

280
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

281
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

282
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.039
<v Speaker 8>It's because in a way it kind of overlaps again,

283
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.720
<v Speaker 8>it's it is not necessarily the kink scene, but it

284
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.679
<v Speaker 8>intersects with the kink scene, so you.

285
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Have a way of Yeah, I can easily, I can

286
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.799
<v Speaker 2>even say that's like you'll sometimes wonder if that's why

287
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.639
<v Speaker 2>you get that kind of even within like I saw

288
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 2>that with the oto, how I could see how it

289
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:47.840
<v Speaker 2>does kind of connect to the kink scene in a way,

290
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's how you get some of the

291
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.879
<v Speaker 2>more weirder ones showing up.

292
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah I'm not I'm not into Yeah, I'm not into

293
00:15:55.679 --> 00:16:00.320
<v Speaker 7>kink shaming or anything like that, but I mean, I

294
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 7>just it's the thought of it to me is just

295
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.279
<v Speaker 7>like you have to wonder if there's not a bit

296
00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 7>of like mental illness involved.

297
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 4>When you take it to that point, I.

298
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.679
<v Speaker 8>Think the body people there is I mean, when you

299
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 8>think about just the prevalence of mental illness generally, I mean,

300
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 8>so many of us are not necessarily entirely well for

301
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:24.159
<v Speaker 8>various reasons, and there's a lot of trauma that brings

302
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:25.960
<v Speaker 8>people into communities like that. I mean, even in the

303
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:27.960
<v Speaker 8>goth community, there's a lot of trauma at play because

304
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 8>you're an outsider, you've been an outside of your whole life.

305
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 8>You're not fitting into the mainstream. I think the same

306
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 8>is true of the wider occult community. And very sadly, you know,

307
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 8>sometimes it's mild mental illness where you just have not

308
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 8>a great childhood and maybe you struggle with some stuff.

309
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 8>And other times it's very severely unchecked mental illness and

310
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.399
<v Speaker 8>that is its own problem.

311
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.639
<v Speaker 7>But yeah, you're right, you know, yeah, like drinking blood

312
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.039
<v Speaker 7>and starting a cult. Hey, I wouldn't mind starting a

313
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:58.159
<v Speaker 7>cult if it was like like fake vampirism.

314
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm down with that. Like I could.

315
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.480
<v Speaker 7>I'd almost see myself getting involved with fake vamporism cults

316
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.400
<v Speaker 7>because I grew up in the generation where it was

317
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 7>like Twilight, and you know, it was very much kind

318
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 7>of sensationalized, and I would have found myself like wanting

319
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:16.839
<v Speaker 7>to be a part of that stuff.

320
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.240
<v Speaker 4>Sure, But I was going to ask, oh, yeah, you

321
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 4>go ahead, JJ.

322
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:23.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, that's a great point. That's well, that's that's

323
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 3>exactly I was going to ask. Less, was the impact

324
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:28.519
<v Speaker 3>of these these errors of film and whatnot. It sounds

325
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 3>like you joined this form around the time of the

326
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.119
<v Speaker 3>turn of the millennium.

327
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.039
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think I probably signed up around two thousand

328
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.160
<v Speaker 8>and three, so right about then.

329
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, so you saw the full scope of some

330
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 3>of these films, Like Juliet just pointed out, like, did

331
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.720
<v Speaker 3>that impact this community at all?

332
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:46.880
<v Speaker 6>All these films?

333
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:50.920
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I think like the vampire boom that happened

334
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 8>in the early two thousands, Like, that's what it felt

335
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 8>like to me, much like we kind of had witchcraft

336
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.319
<v Speaker 8>boom a little bit in like twenty twenty because everybody

337
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.920
<v Speaker 8>was stuck in their houses and so witch talk became huge,

338
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 8>you know, on TikTok. I think the early two thousands

339
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 8>had a little vampire boom for whatever reason. I think

340
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.519
<v Speaker 8>Twilight was a big part of that. For sure.

341
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 6>Julian was enjoying that.

342
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:12.720
<v Speaker 7>Huh, dude, I would have joined it in a second

343
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.079
<v Speaker 7>back in seventh grade.

344
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:20.240
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, because it's appealing, Like there's something very airy, universally

345
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:23.039
<v Speaker 8>appealing about the vampire as an archetype like it. You know,

346
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 8>vampires if we don't count like Nosfaratu, which is a

347
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 8>whole mother matter. But you know, they're they're sexy, and

348
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 8>they're eternally young, and they're powerful, and you know if

349
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.240
<v Speaker 8>you're especially in the world of Anne Rice and Twilight honestly,

350
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.160
<v Speaker 8>but you know, if you're a vampire, you don't never

351
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.720
<v Speaker 8>see like a poor, homeless vampire. You don't never see

352
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:46.599
<v Speaker 8>like a vampire that's like old and decrepit. In this

353
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:50.039
<v Speaker 8>in this new media incarnation, what you see is like

354
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 8>young and beautiful and intelligent and educated and philosophical and rich. Yeah,

355
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.920
<v Speaker 8>and who doesn't if you're a sad little goth kid

356
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.319
<v Speaker 8>with their friends, who doesn't sit in your bedroom thinking

357
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:07.000
<v Speaker 8>like damn, my life kind of sucks, be really cool

358
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:07.359
<v Speaker 8>if a.

359
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 7>Vampire, Yeah, grand Pitt literally interview.

360
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.839
<v Speaker 3>There was some big cultural films, cultural impact films.

361
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:19.839
<v Speaker 6>Right, what was the Vampire?

362
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they were Empire film Blade also.

363
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Like the Amazing Yeah, they.

364
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.160
<v Speaker 8>Were, Yeah, the first one. I liked second one. Was

365
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 8>all right after that, let's not talk about it.

366
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.880
<v Speaker 7>I mean, going all the way back to the beginning

367
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 7>of time, they are mentioned of vampires. I actually just

368
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:48.680
<v Speaker 7>covered this in a separate episode on another show. And

369
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.400
<v Speaker 7>uh they even say like the very first wife of Adam,

370
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:58.400
<v Speaker 7>her name was Lilith, that she she was even vampiic,

371
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 7>kind of like an immortal be being who sustained off

372
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.240
<v Speaker 7>of the life of other people or something like that.

373
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 7>And I mean it goes all the way back to

374
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 7>literally the beginning of time, So there is an obsession

375
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.319
<v Speaker 7>with it. But I also think that the obsession comes

376
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 7>from there's a little bit of truth in it, that

377
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.079
<v Speaker 7>there are beings out there. They were worshiped in the

378
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.200
<v Speaker 7>old days as like these gods of old and hey,

379
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 7>somebody said you and me black nightclub vampire cole, I'm down.

380
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I would do it.

381
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:38.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but see I would be a ginger goth in there, exiled,

382
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 7>so nobody wants me at the party otimate.

383
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:45.720
<v Speaker 5>Everybody loves gingers. I don't know.

384
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:51.599
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but yeah, there's like a sexiness to the vampire thing.

385
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.119
<v Speaker 7>You never see like a crackheaded, you know, vampire that's

386
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:01.519
<v Speaker 7>like not very resourceful. It's all watched a show when

387
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:04.799
<v Speaker 7>I was growing up. It was called Dark Shadows. Yeah,

388
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.599
<v Speaker 7>I don't know if you're familiar with that. I was

389
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 7>obsessed with it. And then Tim Burton did that with

390
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:17.759
<v Speaker 7>Johnny Depp. He made Johnny Depp barnabas Collins, and I

391
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 7>think that movie is incredible.

392
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:20.039
<v Speaker 4>I love it.

393
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 7>But even that show in itself, I would have joined

394
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 7>a Dark Shadows cult. I definitely would have. I loved it,

395
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:27.640
<v Speaker 7>loved it.

396
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:30.440
<v Speaker 5>So did they have the literature for you?

397
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:33.680
<v Speaker 1>They're just like I was explaining, like he had books

398
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on books on books, like there was so many books.

399
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, with that empire and stuff.

400
00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:41.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. And I think it's because like if if the

401
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.319
<v Speaker 8>and I got to go back now and watch the episode,

402
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:46.160
<v Speaker 8>because that's how I'm like listened to the epith. That

403
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 8>sounds fascinating. But if it's the same group that I'm

404
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:54.200
<v Speaker 8>thinking of, parts of that sanguinaryan community and like the

405
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:57.079
<v Speaker 8>real vampire community, it does kind of cross into almost

406
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.200
<v Speaker 8>being a religion or like a you know, I'm not

407
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.200
<v Speaker 8>like a formal religion, but they have just like Felamides,

408
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 8>they have holy books, they have like tenets, right, they

409
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:10.119
<v Speaker 8>have rituals our group was not so much like that.

410
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.400
<v Speaker 8>It was a lot more chaotic in free form. I mean,

411
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.599
<v Speaker 8>if we had like a holy book, you know, it

412
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.759
<v Speaker 8>was Anne Rice's books and one thing that did, one

413
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.799
<v Speaker 8>thing that did happen, which was a little weird. And

414
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:25.880
<v Speaker 8>you know, with time and age and maturity, I realized

415
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 8>that it's not as like spooky and inexplicable as I

416
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:32.359
<v Speaker 8>thought it was when I was sixteen. But they were

417
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:35.200
<v Speaker 8>able to get a bunch of us advanced reader copies

418
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 8>some of Ann's books before they were released, which at

419
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 8>the time, you know, in the early two thousands seemed

420
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 8>really weird. We were like, wow, how did this happen?

421
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:49.599
<v Speaker 8>And there was this whole kind of magical element to

422
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.000
<v Speaker 8>it where Lestat on the Forum had said, you know,

423
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 8>I'm going to get you guys, some of you guys

424
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:59.039
<v Speaker 8>advanced copies of the book before it's been published, and

425
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.119
<v Speaker 8>there's going to be little clues and synchronicities and secrets

426
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 8>hidden in there to do with the forum and to

427
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.680
<v Speaker 8>do with you guys, and some of you are going

428
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.279
<v Speaker 8>to be in the book, it like under different names,

429
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 8>and so we were all kind of going through the

430
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 8>book trying to figure it out. So yeah, No, no

431
00:23:16.759 --> 00:23:22.519
<v Speaker 8>structured tenets, you know, or laws aside from I guess

432
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.880
<v Speaker 8>the great law, which was you have to believe and

433
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:31.559
<v Speaker 8>if you don't believe, you're going to be on the outs. Well.

434
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 7>I know that vampire novels are very are kind of

435
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:39.480
<v Speaker 7>synonymous with like romance novels, but just kind of like

436
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:41.279
<v Speaker 7>that has like.

437
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 4>The vampire element, kind of like Twilight.

438
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.720
<v Speaker 7>But I know several serial killers who were inspired by

439
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.359
<v Speaker 7>romance novels. I mean there is a serious obsession with it.

440
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:56.359
<v Speaker 7>Did they ever ask you, like extort you for money

441
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 7>or anything like that, like you can get this copy

442
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:01.319
<v Speaker 7>if you pay X dollars or anything.

443
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 8>Nothing super explicit. Somebody on TikTok asked me this as well.

444
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.200
<v Speaker 8>And I think it's because when you talk about when

445
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.440
<v Speaker 8>you talk about cults, oftentimes people are like, well, where's

446
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.400
<v Speaker 8>the financial incentive, because that is sort of typical as

447
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.359
<v Speaker 8>the cult leader makes a lot of money. You know,

448
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.599
<v Speaker 8>you look at Keith Nary from nexim or you look

449
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:23.359
<v Speaker 8>at like any of these assholes they wind up riches kings.

450
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:29.599
<v Speaker 8>There were attempts made to monetize the group I was

451
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:36.000
<v Speaker 8>in on and off, mostly through like subscriptions to special

452
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.240
<v Speaker 8>like forums or access to special archives. They had this whole,

453
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:43.519
<v Speaker 8>very strange period of time where they ran a kind

454
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:47.039
<v Speaker 8>of sister website that was supposed to be a paranormal

455
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 8>investigation group called the Talamasca. That's a big thing in

456
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:52.160
<v Speaker 8>an RISI's books. And they were like, oh, you can

457
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.680
<v Speaker 8>join up and join the Talamasca and research the paranormal,

458
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:58.039
<v Speaker 8>but you're going to have to pay you know, nine

459
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:00.480
<v Speaker 8>a month or whatever it is. But none of that

460
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.279
<v Speaker 8>really took off. And I think a big part of

461
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.599
<v Speaker 8>the reason that it didn't is most of us on

462
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.240
<v Speaker 8>this site were young, like either actual minors like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,

463
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.000
<v Speaker 8>or just in early college, still living with our parents.

464
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.519
<v Speaker 8>Like no one had very deep pockets. So the monetization

465
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 8>didn't go anywhere for them. But I think for them

466
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 8>it was all about the attention and the power and

467
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 8>the control.

468
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 4>Did they ever show their faces.

469
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:33.319
<v Speaker 8>Nope, never, not to my knowledge. I mean. And this

470
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.079
<v Speaker 8>is the other weird thing though, And I've been down

471
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:38.880
<v Speaker 8>the rabbit hole for the past week since you know,

472
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.759
<v Speaker 8>I didn't intend to start telling this story on TikTok.

473
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.039
<v Speaker 8>I was recovering from a sinus infection and I was

474
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 8>looking at my TikTok account. No, man, I had a

475
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:50.440
<v Speaker 8>lot of engagement recently, like just yapping on the internet.

476
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:52.279
<v Speaker 8>What if I just like, what if I just tell

477
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:54.640
<v Speaker 8>this cult story and see what happens? And then you know,

478
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.240
<v Speaker 8>I'm at collectively almost two million views of all the

479
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 8>videos since them, which is it? Kind of it kind

480
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 8>of slowed down on TikTok, but then on Instagram reels

481
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 8>it went bananas. But yeah, like this idea of like

482
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 8>did they or did they not show their faces? I've

483
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 8>been back in my archives, like archived a lot of

484
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:18.440
<v Speaker 8>material back in the day while I was part of

485
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.400
<v Speaker 8>this group. I saved chat logs, I saved ale instant

486
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.279
<v Speaker 8>messenger logs.

487
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I have like oh yeah, you can see like on

488
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 2>your on your Instagram, you even.

489
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:31.400
<v Speaker 8>The web share Yeah, screenshots of like what the website

490
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:35.000
<v Speaker 8>used to look like and everything. So I was ruthless.

491
00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:36.759
<v Speaker 8>I was known for it at the time, and it

492
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.519
<v Speaker 8>made them very uncomfortable and probably continues to make them

493
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 8>very uncomfortable.

494
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.279
<v Speaker 2>But I you know what you could probably do now

495
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.000
<v Speaker 2>that I'm just saying, if you ever wanted to, like,

496
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:47.640
<v Speaker 2>oh I wish I could go back, you could probably

497
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:50.359
<v Speaker 2>use the wayback machine and possibly find some of them.

498
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 10>There's some stuff there, I looked, Yeah, yeah, Because the

499
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:58.559
<v Speaker 10>forum was password protected and you had to have an

500
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:01.160
<v Speaker 10>account to really see anything, you can't find anything much

501
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:01.920
<v Speaker 10>like with.

502
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 8>Regard to that, but you know, you can see their

503
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.559
<v Speaker 8>old websites and stuff it's Banana's. But regarding their faces,

504
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:15.599
<v Speaker 8>there was so many layers of like bullshit and subterfuge

505
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.720
<v Speaker 8>and obfuscation, and so there was never a moment when

506
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:21.920
<v Speaker 8>like the person playing with STAT who you know, who

507
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 8>we thought was the stat There was never a moment

508
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.920
<v Speaker 8>will with STAT like turned the webcam on and was like, hey, MTV,

509
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:32.400
<v Speaker 8>welcome to my crib. But there were members like regular

510
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 8>people like me right who I became friends with over

511
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:38.279
<v Speaker 8>the years, very close, stayed in these people's houses, you know,

512
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.839
<v Speaker 8>traveled with them, who in retrospect very likely were involved

513
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 8>in some way. And over the past week I've been

514
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:47.880
<v Speaker 8>talking to a lot of other members from the time,

515
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.000
<v Speaker 8>and we've been exchanging notes and putting the puzzle pieces

516
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 8>together and something else shows just this is an exclusive

517
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:58.119
<v Speaker 8>scoop for the the Occult Rejects because I wasn't sure

518
00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:59.640
<v Speaker 8>if I was going to talk about this publicly and

519
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:03.559
<v Speaker 8>I'm not on TikTok, but one of the ladies who

520
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:09.599
<v Speaker 8>probably started the whole cult. That's the working theory. She

521
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:13.119
<v Speaker 8>was an older woman. She almost certainly founded the whole thing.

522
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:16.599
<v Speaker 8>She never admitted to it, but we've all been able to,

523
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:20.559
<v Speaker 8>you know, connect the dots. She actually died like seven

524
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:25.759
<v Speaker 8>days before I started making my videos, and I found

525
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:28.440
<v Speaker 8>that out yesterday. I found her obituary and I was like.

526
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.559
<v Speaker 4>Oh, dang, so she never saw your stuff?

527
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.640
<v Speaker 5>No, maybe not. Let you be free to do it,

528
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 5>you know what I mean?

529
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 8>Did you feel like kind of a spiritual strange little

530
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.359
<v Speaker 8>like crossing over, you know something, This lady left this

531
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:50.039
<v Speaker 8>modal coil and somehow the truth was set free. But

532
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:51.880
<v Speaker 8>that was weird. So I guess in theory, I have

533
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.920
<v Speaker 8>seen one of their faces just in a twenty minute

534
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:59.000
<v Speaker 8>long memorial video, which was very surreal.

535
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.440
<v Speaker 4>Did she look notable.

536
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:09.279
<v Speaker 8>Or just like a little old lady? She really seventy

537
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:10.119
<v Speaker 8>five year old woman.

538
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:14.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I was gonna say, did she look like she

539
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:16.400
<v Speaker 7>was eternally sixteen or anything?

540
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.640
<v Speaker 8>Very Unfortunately we're all concerned to know she did not.

541
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:25.799
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, sorry, Celeste, I'm going to jump in really quick.

542
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 11>I called as I was a little bit late. I

543
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:31.759
<v Speaker 11>apologize to everybody, and thank you Nick obviously for hosting me.

544
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:35.240
<v Speaker 11>But so this is very interesting to me. You're saying,

545
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:38.440
<v Speaker 11>like a woman, uh, sort of founded the cult.

546
00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 12>And I know that.

547
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 11>I've discussed this with Heidi, I've discussed this with JJ

548
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 11>and I'm sure Julia is familiar with it. But the

549
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 11>idea in process obviously Marianne Grimston and like this kind

550
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.799
<v Speaker 11>of like Mother Prophet Seer Love later. And my friend

551
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:55.240
<v Speaker 11>Ashley who's in the chat right now, she is studying

552
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 11>another called out of North Carolina called the Word of Faith,

553
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.000
<v Speaker 11>and they are called is also run by a woman,

554
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:05.119
<v Speaker 11>an older woman, and they call her the Mother Prophet.

555
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:08.319
<v Speaker 11>So I was just wondering if you called her any

556
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 11>kind of particular titles other than her character.

557
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.359
<v Speaker 8>We never knew her identity for sure. Like, the only

558
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:19.000
<v Speaker 8>way I know that this woman almost certainly did found

559
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:22.359
<v Speaker 8>the whole thing is through like you know, almost twenty

560
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:27.279
<v Speaker 8>years of various different people sleuthing and putting the pieces

561
00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:30.039
<v Speaker 8>together and you know, adding it all up over the years.

562
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:34.279
<v Speaker 8>So this woman never came clean as herself and said

563
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.519
<v Speaker 8>yeah it's me, I'm behind it. She never stepped you know,

564
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:40.799
<v Speaker 8>out onto the stage and took any kind of responsibility

565
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:43.559
<v Speaker 8>that we would have given her a special name. She

566
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 8>was just always behind that smokes her. And she played Louis,

567
00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 8>who's like the sad boy. And Rice's character Brad Pitt. Yeah,

568
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.720
<v Speaker 8>brad Pitt. She played Brad Pitt. But yeah nos so

569
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.359
<v Speaker 8>in her case. No. But I will say that even

570
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:04.119
<v Speaker 8>she did exist on the forum in this group as herself.

571
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:06.960
<v Speaker 8>She did have a username and logged on and would

572
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.480
<v Speaker 8>tell people about, you know, her gardening and her grandkids

573
00:31:09.559 --> 00:31:12.920
<v Speaker 8>and her piano playing and stuff like that. She met

574
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:15.319
<v Speaker 8>some people in real life. I was not one of them,

575
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:17.799
<v Speaker 8>but she did go to meetups and so on. But

576
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:20.359
<v Speaker 8>Onie ever as herself. And the only way that she

577
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 8>was special as herself was that she claimed that she

578
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 8>had met the vampires in real life and that she

579
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:33.400
<v Speaker 8>was a big part of why so many people came

580
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.480
<v Speaker 8>to believe because she was like, look, I'm at the time,

581
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.519
<v Speaker 8>you know, a sixty year old grandma. Why would I

582
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 8>ally to you guys about any of this, Like, I'm

583
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.319
<v Speaker 8>an upstanding member of the community. I've worked the same

584
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:47.720
<v Speaker 8>university job for forty years. I used to be an

585
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.160
<v Speaker 8>opera singer. I'm a very normal person, but I'm telling

586
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:54.240
<v Speaker 8>you that vampire is real because I've met one. And

587
00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:55.839
<v Speaker 8>that was the only way that she was special. So

588
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 8>she didn't get like a special title. No one gave

589
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:00.559
<v Speaker 8>her credit for running the soul operation. We really didn't

590
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.839
<v Speaker 8>find out until years later, but she did distinguish herself

591
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.279
<v Speaker 8>insofar as she was the special one who had actually

592
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:10.319
<v Speaker 8>had this face to face contact that all of us,

593
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 8>you know, desperately wanted.

594
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 7>Basically was it was like she's seen them, She's telling

595
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 7>you they're real. But I mean, I'm just surprised that

596
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 7>they didn't try to, like say, if you paid X

597
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.559
<v Speaker 7>number dollars, you could get to meet one of them

598
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:32.279
<v Speaker 7>or something, or like, I'm surprised they didn't. They didn't

599
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:36.960
<v Speaker 7>try to like monetize that in some way, like I mean.

600
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:38.960
<v Speaker 8>I need one go ahead.

601
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:41.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, JJ No, that was That's a great point.

602
00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:42.960
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking the same thing. What was their in game?

603
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.799
<v Speaker 3>But they're not trying to monetize it, Like, what is

604
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:45.400
<v Speaker 3>their in game?

605
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, they make a lot of money on these balls

606
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:49.960
<v Speaker 1>she's talking about. You have to dress a certain way,

607
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 1>you have to have everything to the utmost like like

608
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:54.319
<v Speaker 1>a big deal.

609
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:57.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and if they were in some way connected with that,

610
00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:59.400
<v Speaker 8>which I don't know if they were or not. I mean,

611
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.640
<v Speaker 8>you know, gain before anyone's lawyers descend upon me. I'm

612
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:05.920
<v Speaker 8>definitely not saying that my group no, were officially a

613
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:10.720
<v Speaker 8>part of that, but there may have been other income streams.

614
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:15.240
<v Speaker 8>But I think also any attempts they made to monetize

615
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 8>just didn't work. I mean, their last ditch effort to

616
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:22.640
<v Speaker 8>monetize was around about twenty ten and they started this

617
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:26.480
<v Speaker 8>like vampire Facebook thing. It was pretty well made site.

618
00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:28.279
<v Speaker 8>I wish I had screenshots of that, but I don't.

619
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:30.680
<v Speaker 8>I mean, it worked very well. They clearly had hired

620
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:33.319
<v Speaker 8>a web designer who really knew what they were doing,

621
00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:35.240
<v Speaker 8>and they had a whole thing set up, and they

622
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.880
<v Speaker 8>were trying to position that and launch it as you know,

623
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.839
<v Speaker 8>this is the alternative Vampire's only Facebook, and we're going

624
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:44.759
<v Speaker 8>to be rich off that, and I think it just

625
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.160
<v Speaker 8>didn't go anywhere. I don't know if that's because so

626
00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:53.039
<v Speaker 8>many people in the community again just like didn't really

627
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:56.160
<v Speaker 8>have the money and weren't that interested. But yeah, they

628
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:58.240
<v Speaker 8>didn't monetize it. I think what they were in it for,

629
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.519
<v Speaker 8>I mean I have a couple of theories. Main theory

630
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:06.319
<v Speaker 8>is that these people were just not well, especially this

631
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 8>like older lady you know, who passed away recently. Not

632
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:12.800
<v Speaker 8>to speak ill of the dead, but I just don't

633
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 8>think that you could possibly be a well human being

634
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:20.360
<v Speaker 8>if you spend thirty plus years of your life as

635
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 8>a fully grown adult with children and grandchildren and a

636
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:26.880
<v Speaker 8>job and a life lying to miners on the internet

637
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.599
<v Speaker 8>that you are a vampire or have met vampire something.

638
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:34.000
<v Speaker 8>It's not right in your head. You're not doing well. Yeah,

639
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 8>so mental illness possibly, But I think it was attention.

640
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:41.960
<v Speaker 8>I think it was control. I think being able to

641
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:47.239
<v Speaker 8>convince a huge group of people to believe something bananas

642
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:50.960
<v Speaker 8>has a lot of appeal for a certain type of person,

643
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:53.280
<v Speaker 8>and so I think that was the payoff.

644
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 7>Really, how many people do you, like roundabouts were involved

645
00:34:58.719 --> 00:35:01.400
<v Speaker 7>in the group when you were When I was.

646
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.639
<v Speaker 8>A part of the group, there were about I want

647
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:09.119
<v Speaker 8>to say, three or four hundred people like registered as.

648
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:15.159
<v Speaker 4>That's pretty good, that's pretty good for Yeah, I mean

649
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:17.400
<v Speaker 4>not all of them are hustred or something.

650
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:20.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, not all of them were like regularly active. So

651
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.400
<v Speaker 8>we had definitely that many people who were there and

652
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:25.800
<v Speaker 8>observing or whatever. I would say in terms of like

653
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.800
<v Speaker 8>active participating members, probably close it about one hundred and

654
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:33.840
<v Speaker 8>fifty and then off that there was even smaller inner

655
00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:37.960
<v Speaker 8>circle group of which I was unfortunately part, and that

656
00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:40.840
<v Speaker 8>was maybe like thirty people thirty thirty five people who

657
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:43.519
<v Speaker 8>were you know, going and meeting each other offline and

658
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 8>going to meet up events and extremely invested in like

659
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:51.320
<v Speaker 8>the narrative. But yeah, pretty big group comparatively.

660
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Did you just get rid of it with age or

661
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:59.239
<v Speaker 4>they you said they kicked you out or oh yeah.

662
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:04.000
<v Speaker 8>They kicked me out, which I would use to.

663
00:36:03.360 --> 00:36:05.599
<v Speaker 7>Send me proof and they were like, you know what,

664
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 7>You're out of the group pretty much.

665
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 8>Honestly, yeah, I would love to say that I had

666
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:14.920
<v Speaker 8>just matured and become a more sensible person and walked away,

667
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.559
<v Speaker 8>but very sadly, no, they eroded my mental health over

668
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:22.679
<v Speaker 8>I mean, you know, other things were also eroding my

669
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 8>mental health and fairness. They're not completely responsible, but I

670
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:29.079
<v Speaker 8>was not doing well in my early twenties and my

671
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:33.760
<v Speaker 8>late teens, and I think for me, you know, a

672
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.599
<v Speaker 8>lot of my peers who were in the same group

673
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:38.920
<v Speaker 8>were able to take things a little bit more lightly,

674
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 8>and they were able to kind of participate. And yes,

675
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.400
<v Speaker 8>it was impacting them and changing the way they viewed

676
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:48.079
<v Speaker 8>the world, and they were invested, but they weren't quite

677
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:51.480
<v Speaker 8>as invested as I was. You know, I was all

678
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:58.760
<v Speaker 8>in to a damaging degree. But I also really really

679
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:04.960
<v Speaker 8>struggled to fully believe even though I was all in,

680
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:08.079
<v Speaker 8>even though I really wanted it to be true, I

681
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:11.360
<v Speaker 8>really struggled with just like being like, Okay, cool, yeah,

682
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:14.559
<v Speaker 8>this is all real. Let's move let's move on with

683
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.760
<v Speaker 8>with you know, whatever's going on. And so I think

684
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:20.920
<v Speaker 8>the doubt and the constantly looking for answers. You know,

685
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.559
<v Speaker 8>I was constantly I mean that's why I have files

686
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.199
<v Speaker 8>on my computer to this day with all the evidence.

687
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:29.880
<v Speaker 8>I was always talking to people, asking questions, trying to

688
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:34.119
<v Speaker 8>find out the truth. I would have conversations with the vampires,

689
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:37.599
<v Speaker 8>the moderators and say, look, there's been ten years. You

690
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:39.840
<v Speaker 8>guys can just tell me what's really going on, Like,

691
00:37:39.880 --> 00:37:41.519
<v Speaker 8>we don't have to do we don't have to do

692
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:44.079
<v Speaker 8>all this. You know, if we're friends, we're friends, we've

693
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 8>built a relationship over a decade, you'd just be real

694
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:51.280
<v Speaker 8>with me. And they wouldn't. And so then I took

695
00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:53.639
<v Speaker 8>matters into my own hands to try and discover the

696
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:55.119
<v Speaker 8>truth whether they were going to tell me or not,

697
00:37:55.239 --> 00:37:58.719
<v Speaker 8>which included tracking down IP addresses and talking to people

698
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:00.280
<v Speaker 8>that they didn't want me to talk to.

699
00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.199
<v Speaker 4>I'll get you kicked out every time.

700
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:06.559
<v Speaker 8>Yes it will, Yes, it will. And so that's it,

701
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.480
<v Speaker 8>and that's why they booted me. Ultimately, was just having

702
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:14.199
<v Speaker 8>conversations with the wrong people, asking too many questions. And

703
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:17.000
<v Speaker 8>I think from their perspective, you know, not to not

704
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.719
<v Speaker 8>to be overly fair to a bunch of people who

705
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:24.559
<v Speaker 8>light and manipulated miners for years, But from their perspective,

706
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:26.079
<v Speaker 8>I think it was like this. You know, I was

707
00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:30.239
<v Speaker 8>making trouble. I was not just swallowing what they had

708
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:34.079
<v Speaker 8>to tell me and sitting down quietly and dealing with it.

709
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:34.960
<v Speaker 8>And they didn't like that.

710
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.960
<v Speaker 4>So mm hmm, yeah, no kidding.

711
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:40.440
<v Speaker 5>Hey, JJ, that sounds like the Mormons.

712
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 6>I was going to say the exact same thing.

713
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.639
<v Speaker 3>That sounds like the same damn experience serious former Mormons.

714
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 6>I was thinking the same thing.

715
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:50.679
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, And I.

716
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:54.119
<v Speaker 8>Feel like it's common to a lot of those groups, right, Like,

717
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:57.760
<v Speaker 8>but my roommate actually is a former Mormon, so I've.

718
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.559
<v Speaker 7>I've heard Mormon and stuff.

719
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:03.599
<v Speaker 8>But also, you know scientology, you've got the same thing.

720
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:06.079
<v Speaker 8>If you're out, you're out. That's it. You're a non person,

721
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:08.679
<v Speaker 8>and they're going to tell us wise about you and

722
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:11.920
<v Speaker 8>turn other people against you. And this was much the same,

723
00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:14.239
<v Speaker 8>just on a very smaller scale.

724
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Well the scientologists are hiding? What what are they hiding?

725
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:24.760
<v Speaker 8>I have series.

726
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:31.280
<v Speaker 7>I'd rather be a part of the vampire cult than

727
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:36.559
<v Speaker 7>the Mormons, just just saying they're waiting. I'd much rather

728
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:40.079
<v Speaker 7>be part of a vampire cult. But I did have

729
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:43.760
<v Speaker 7>a question for you. Have you ever watched the show

730
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:50.000
<v Speaker 7>or the movie called Catfish? Yeah, okay, so you know

731
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:54.119
<v Speaker 7>how like in the in the movie Catfish, like the

732
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:57.360
<v Speaker 7>original Catfish story, he shows up and it's that one

733
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:01.159
<v Speaker 7>lady and she's playing like many many roles. I mean,

734
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:05.079
<v Speaker 7>she's got like twenty Facebook accounts set up, she's got

735
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:10.280
<v Speaker 7>like cousins and brothers and like moms and all this stuff,

736
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:14.559
<v Speaker 7>and it's just one lady. And you know, she had

737
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:17.960
<v Speaker 7>convinced this guy had completely fallen in love with her,

738
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:21.679
<v Speaker 7>and you know, showed up and she even like brought

739
00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.079
<v Speaker 7>him in her house and was still trying to keep.

740
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:24.760
<v Speaker 4>The ruse up.

741
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:28.159
<v Speaker 7>So I mean, the thing is, when you start digging

742
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:30.639
<v Speaker 7>in and you start trying to find answers because you

743
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:36.159
<v Speaker 7>feel like something's fishy, they will at all costs try

744
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:40.440
<v Speaker 7>to keep the fantasy alive. Oh yeah, so they they

745
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:42.880
<v Speaker 7>probably would have rather gotten rid of you than to

746
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:47.039
<v Speaker 7>just been like, hey, nobody's really a vampire here, we're busted.

747
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:51.480
<v Speaker 7>You know, They're gonna go down to the last moment

748
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.719
<v Speaker 7>getting people to think they're really vampires than to just

749
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:56.800
<v Speaker 7>be like busted, you know what I mean.

750
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.519
<v Speaker 8>I remember watching Catfish for the first time. I can't

751
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.079
<v Speaker 8>remember when that came out, but it's going to have

752
00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 8>been sometime in the early two thousands, I think, And

753
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:07.480
<v Speaker 8>I remember watching it at the time and being like,

754
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:10.280
<v Speaker 8>this is the same. Like I knew on some level,

755
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:12.760
<v Speaker 8>I was like, what I am involved in it is

756
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:16.440
<v Speaker 8>going to it is going to be this. And there

757
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:22.960
<v Speaker 8>was always sorry already so much, so much whispering behind

758
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:26.239
<v Speaker 8>the scenes between those of us who were participants of this, saying,

759
00:41:26.239 --> 00:41:27.840
<v Speaker 8>you know, oh, do you think that so and so

760
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:30.480
<v Speaker 8>is real? Do you think that this person's really a plant?

761
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:32.360
<v Speaker 8>You know? Is this a fake profile? Is that a

762
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.039
<v Speaker 8>fake profile? Like we were highly suspicious the whole time.

763
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:39.960
<v Speaker 8>I found out years later, actually, like a couple of

764
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.320
<v Speaker 8>years ago, I reconnected with some people who were part

765
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.599
<v Speaker 8>of this group, and one of these women said to me,

766
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.320
<v Speaker 8>she was like, you know, you can tell me now,

767
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.639
<v Speaker 8>were you one of the vampires? I was like, bitch, no,

768
00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.719
<v Speaker 8>my life had been so much easier if that had

769
00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:57.880
<v Speaker 8>been the truth. You know, But that's the level of

770
00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:02.719
<v Speaker 8>distrust and like weirdness that it created between all of

771
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:04.320
<v Speaker 8>those Yeah.

772
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:08.480
<v Speaker 1>No, for sure, what are your theories not not legally

773
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:12.119
<v Speaker 1>tendering any kind of uh aspect behind that?

774
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah? Yeah, we got to cover cover our legal basis

775
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:23.840
<v Speaker 8>my theories. So, as I said, you know, yesterday was

776
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.280
<v Speaker 8>a weird day because I found this lady's obituary and

777
00:42:26.920 --> 00:42:29.760
<v Speaker 8>by adding certain things, I mean there were pictures in

778
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:32.239
<v Speaker 8>this lady's like oh bit slide show that I remember

779
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:33.840
<v Speaker 8>being posted to the forum. So I was like, oh,

780
00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:37.280
<v Speaker 8>this is her, And then I ran it by a

781
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:39.400
<v Speaker 8>friend of mine who actually met this woman in real life.

782
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:41.760
<v Speaker 8>I said, just to confirm, is this is this you know,

783
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:43.559
<v Speaker 8>I'm not going to say her name, but is this

784
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:48.360
<v Speaker 8>Bonnie fake name? Is this Bonnie from the forum who

785
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:50.920
<v Speaker 8>we all think probably played Louis and my friend was like, well,

786
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:56.880
<v Speaker 8>that's her. So I guess theory one is it really

787
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.800
<v Speaker 8>was just a bunch of and Rise supers who were

788
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 8>also not well in some way or how to void

789
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:07.679
<v Speaker 8>that they needed to fill, and they were filling that

790
00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:14.199
<v Speaker 8>by being highly manipulative and sketchy on the Internet. That's

791
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:17.639
<v Speaker 8>that's the first and probably most likely theory. But I

792
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 8>do have a kind of secondary theory which dovetails into

793
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:25.440
<v Speaker 8>the occult a little bit. You know, I'm a witch

794
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:27.480
<v Speaker 8>full time now, that's what I do as a job,

795
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:29.960
<v Speaker 8>and in that line of work, I've seen a lot

796
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:33.239
<v Speaker 8>of shit and gotten down a lot of rabbit holes

797
00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.159
<v Speaker 8>and and a lot of research and reading. And you know,

798
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:39.760
<v Speaker 8>the concept of the aggregor right where or like theater

799
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:43.559
<v Speaker 8>eggor tulpa thought form. It's got different names that people use,

800
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:47.000
<v Speaker 8>but the idea that like a concentrated amount of belief

801
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:52.159
<v Speaker 8>and focus and sometimes meditation or magical practice can create

802
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.360
<v Speaker 8>a being or a manifestation or like a thing that

803
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:01.320
<v Speaker 8>exists independently from the people who are putting that energy

804
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:03.599
<v Speaker 8>into it. There is a part of me that thinks

805
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:06.079
<v Speaker 8>that something like that was going on in this group,

806
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:10.760
<v Speaker 8>not by accident but purposefully And I say that because

807
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:14.000
<v Speaker 8>a lot of the people who were running this forum,

808
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:18.000
<v Speaker 8>I mean Lastat especially, but some of the other moderators too,

809
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:22.039
<v Speaker 8>knew a lot about the occult. They were posting about Felima,

810
00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:26.800
<v Speaker 8>they were posting about Ederer Rosen Tulpa's Tibetan Buddhism, and

811
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.960
<v Speaker 8>so that calls into question, like was there some other

812
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:35.400
<v Speaker 8>purpose for all this beyond just like trala la la

813
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:37.360
<v Speaker 8>la la to pretend to be vampires. You know.

814
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.719
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask earlier because I was wondering,

815
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:44.719
<v Speaker 2>like sometimes just like even if people just being manipulated

816
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and used it might be an occultist this somewhere, And

817
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask if they entertained the occult

818
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:52.760
<v Speaker 2>on this form. I just didn't get to asking it,

819
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:54.400
<v Speaker 2>So I guess I guess they didn't. They were open

820
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:54.800
<v Speaker 2>about it.

821
00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:59.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they were open about it. They were looking back,

822
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:03.679
<v Speaker 8>you know, I think teaching us in some ways. I

823
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:05.440
<v Speaker 8>mean a lot of us were kids. I was a kid,

824
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.760
<v Speaker 8>and I definitely learned about a lot of these occult

825
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:12.760
<v Speaker 8>topics and was sort of guided through how to do

826
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:17.039
<v Speaker 8>further research and learn more by these people. Dreams were

827
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:20.079
<v Speaker 8>a huge part of what they did like dreaming and

828
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:23.760
<v Speaker 8>dream work and lucid dreaming and dream walking each other

829
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:28.320
<v Speaker 8>and stuff like that. I first heard the term synchronicity

830
00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:30.440
<v Speaker 8>on this forum and like read the works of Carl

831
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:38.239
<v Speaker 8>Jung because of the forum. So yeah, actually, because.

832
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:40.800
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, Joy, who was.

833
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Saying, oh, I said they would like get in your dreams?

834
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:45.599
<v Speaker 4>Is that what that means?

835
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:48.360
<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, that was a whole That was a whole

836
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:50.719
<v Speaker 8>other thing. And i mean, look, i am a full

837
00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.159
<v Speaker 8>time professional witch and I've experienced some weird shit, but

838
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:55.480
<v Speaker 8>I'm also a skeptic. Like it's a weird line to draw,

839
00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:57.639
<v Speaker 8>but I've kind of got Scully on one shoulder and

840
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:01.880
<v Speaker 8>Molder on the other, you know. But there were some

841
00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:05.559
<v Speaker 8>things that I can't really explain. There was some dream experiences.

842
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:07.360
<v Speaker 8>I've always been a lucid dreamer. I've always been a

843
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:09.519
<v Speaker 8>very vivid dreamer since I was a tiny little kid.

844
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:11.960
<v Speaker 8>But there are some things that happened while I was

845
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:16.679
<v Speaker 8>a part of this forum that were extremely strange. Waking

846
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:20.719
<v Speaker 8>up Lake with my body covered in bruises in places

847
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.719
<v Speaker 8>wouldn't have made sense for me to be like knocking

848
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:27.679
<v Speaker 8>myself around, you know. Yeah, weird stuff.

849
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:32.519
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that sounds pretty wild. Yeah, I was piggyback on

850
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:34.679
<v Speaker 3>next tape. And I was curious too when you mentioned

851
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:39.280
<v Speaker 3>earlier Julia about the Lilith, the original vampire. So Michael

852
00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Quina's wife, Lilith, when they first started the Temple of Set,

853
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.199
<v Speaker 3>she starts this thing called I'm not sure if you're

854
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.639
<v Speaker 3>familiar with this list the vampire order.

855
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:48.719
<v Speaker 6>Or the Order of the Vampire.

856
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:49.360
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

857
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:52.639
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so there's some sort of.

858
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Mash mashed together of the Lima, like you were saying,

859
00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:58.639
<v Speaker 3>and uh and some sort of vampire business.

860
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:03.159
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, what And it's like you see that

861
00:47:03.239 --> 00:47:03.480
<v Speaker 4>a lot.

862
00:47:03.519 --> 00:47:05.920
<v Speaker 8>I think, pardon me, I'm getting slipking over this cold.

863
00:47:06.159 --> 00:47:09.239
<v Speaker 8>You see that a lot. I think with for whatever reason,

864
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:12.519
<v Speaker 8>Thelema just seems to like slot very nicely into just

865
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.719
<v Speaker 8>like there are other belief systems and it kind of

866
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:18.039
<v Speaker 8>but you know, you've seen that with the Tiffony and Oto, right,

867
00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:22.000
<v Speaker 8>like that's HP Lovecraft mythology, but it's blended with Thelema,

868
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:27.400
<v Speaker 8>and so yeah, I don't know whether there was something

869
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:32.280
<v Speaker 8>purposeful going on behind the scenes that was ramping up

870
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:35.199
<v Speaker 8>to become more organized or more like official in some way.

871
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:37.519
<v Speaker 8>Maybe it did, and I just don't.

872
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.880
<v Speaker 11>Know about it, you know, Well, I have a little

873
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:44.800
<v Speaker 11>thing to sort of piggyback off JJ is that there

874
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:46.639
<v Speaker 11>is I don't know if you're familiar with it, sluss,

875
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:47.920
<v Speaker 11>but there is an order.

876
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:50.679
<v Speaker 12>It's called vampire Buddhism for vampires.

877
00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:51.760
<v Speaker 8>Excuse me, oh, I don't know.

878
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:56.000
<v Speaker 11>He So it's very larpye and like a lot of

879
00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:59.320
<v Speaker 11>of the we'll say, very online Buddhists, especially on Twitter, we.

880
00:47:59.280 --> 00:47:59.960
<v Speaker 12>All laugh at it.

881
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:04.639
<v Speaker 11>But there is something that you're you're right about, because

882
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:06.880
<v Speaker 11>we do talk a lot about like things like the

883
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:11.719
<v Speaker 11>Carnel Ground, and we have vampires and obviously like the

884
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:16.079
<v Speaker 11>kind of Babylon figure like the Dikinis, the Red Girls,

885
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:19.840
<v Speaker 11>a scarlet woman that's very prominent in Buddhism. So, and

886
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:23.639
<v Speaker 11>they are sometimes considered vampires. But it's a conceptual it's

887
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:27.199
<v Speaker 11>not literal. It's just it's a strictly conceptual. So I

888
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:30.360
<v Speaker 11>but I can understand if you were a more literalist person,

889
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:33.559
<v Speaker 11>like you're saying, like you were taking sort of these

890
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:37.480
<v Speaker 11>books that are fictional, but you're sort of taking them

891
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.840
<v Speaker 11>out of their context and making them like a liturgical

892
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:41.960
<v Speaker 11>or religious text.

893
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:43.360
<v Speaker 12>This is very interesting.

894
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:50.239
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's and I think, you know, you

895
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.639
<v Speaker 8>bring up a really great point there too, because they're

896
00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:55.400
<v Speaker 8>in the in the tradition of witchcraft that I now practice.

897
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:59.679
<v Speaker 8>Let's enter it from that angle. I practice like kind

898
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:05.199
<v Speaker 8>of hybrid tread craft, like traditional witchcraft blended with sort

899
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:08.000
<v Speaker 8>of folk Catholicism, that sort of where my practice pulls.

900
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:11.440
<v Speaker 8>But in traditional witchcraft and in folkloric witchcraft, I mean

901
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:16.280
<v Speaker 8>you're drawing on folk tales. You're drawing on groom wires

902
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:20.280
<v Speaker 8>written by people, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years ago,

903
00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.920
<v Speaker 8>which are in turn drawing on folk tales to formulate

904
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:26.960
<v Speaker 8>this sort of spiritual system in this magical practice. And

905
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:31.920
<v Speaker 8>so I think that the line between stories and reality

906
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:35.440
<v Speaker 8>is not quite as like firmly delineated as sometimes we

907
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:38.519
<v Speaker 8>think it is, especially if you're a magical practitioner, if

908
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:43.000
<v Speaker 8>you're an occultist, like story and narrative are kind of

909
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:47.559
<v Speaker 8>the driving force of an occult worldview, whether or not

910
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:53.079
<v Speaker 8>your story is you know, Crowley's writings or HP Lovecraft

911
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:56.320
<v Speaker 8>writings through the lens of Crowley, you know, or fairy

912
00:49:56.360 --> 00:50:00.159
<v Speaker 8>tales like there, it becomes the lens you are looking

913
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:02.719
<v Speaker 8>at the world through. And so I think, you know,

914
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:05.840
<v Speaker 8>in your case, you're talking about. The vampire is not,

915
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:07.960
<v Speaker 8>of course, a literal thing that's going to go come

916
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:09.320
<v Speaker 8>to your house and drink your blood in the middle

917
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:11.639
<v Speaker 8>of the night. It's a it's a sort of metaphorical

918
00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:16.159
<v Speaker 8>or symbolic kind of role. But I think sometimes there's

919
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:22.199
<v Speaker 8>more overlap in those things than we realize, if that

920
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:22.760
<v Speaker 8>makes sense.

921
00:50:23.800 --> 00:50:26.239
<v Speaker 11>Absolutely. I mean this is something that I Nick knows.

922
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:29.679
<v Speaker 11>I'm really fascinated by this idea of like parafiction and metafiction.

923
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:33.639
<v Speaker 11>Like looking at the exactly like what you said, like

924
00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:37.239
<v Speaker 11>Crowley's writing, it'ssel full of fiction, but the people can't

925
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.199
<v Speaker 11>really distinguish it. So there's a point where it doesn't

926
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:41.440
<v Speaker 11>even matter because it is kind of real.

927
00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:43.280
<v Speaker 12>It is real if you believe it.

928
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:45.960
<v Speaker 8>Mm hmmmmmm mm hm.

929
00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:54.480
<v Speaker 2>So you did mention, Oh you said the lima was

930
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:56.280
<v Speaker 2>like definitely, was that like more of a bigger thing

931
00:50:56.840 --> 00:50:58.199
<v Speaker 2>that really peaked me?

932
00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:03.360
<v Speaker 8>Like on the forum, not explicitly, they were putting ideas

933
00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:08.320
<v Speaker 8>out there that were, you know, Belama adjacent, I would say,

934
00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:11.719
<v Speaker 8>but they were mishmashing a lot of different spiritual concepts.

935
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:14.400
<v Speaker 8>There was just a real there seemed to be for them,

936
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:18.760
<v Speaker 8>Like for these ban biomoderators a real fascination and definitely

937
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:26.280
<v Speaker 8>a level of knowledge about topics that definitely far exceeded

938
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:28.199
<v Speaker 8>what most of us are. What, like the average you

939
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:29.320
<v Speaker 8>on the street wouldn't know.

940
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you have any members on there that had like

941
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:35.039
<v Speaker 2>sigils that they've made of themselves, like as their logo

942
00:51:35.079 --> 00:51:36.960
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that.

943
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:39.639
<v Speaker 8>I can't remember that off the top of my head,

944
00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:42.079
<v Speaker 8>but I'm sure we did. I mean, sigil magic. It

945
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.280
<v Speaker 8>did become yeah, it did become a yeah. And because

946
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:48.119
<v Speaker 8>I think I know where you're going with I think

947
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:53.000
<v Speaker 8>I know where you're going with that. Maybe I don't

948
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:56.880
<v Speaker 8>recall it, but it wouldn't surprise me. And I think

949
00:51:57.519 --> 00:51:59.599
<v Speaker 8>the if I'm right about where you're going with that,

950
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:01.480
<v Speaker 8>I think the concept is the same. I mean, I

951
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:03.559
<v Speaker 8>think I've seen people in the chat saying, you know,

952
00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:07.880
<v Speaker 8>energy vampires. I think that there were there was some

953
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:12.360
<v Speaker 8>kind of energetic exchange happening, whether that whether you know,

954
00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:15.079
<v Speaker 8>we use the term energy vampire or a psychic vampire

955
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:17.239
<v Speaker 8>for just regular people in our lives who kiss us

956
00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:20.199
<v Speaker 8>off right, You're like boss who sucks the air out

957
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:24.079
<v Speaker 8>of the room immediately he walks in. If you're talking

958
00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:26.239
<v Speaker 8>about it, in an occult context, you're talking about somebody

959
00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:29.159
<v Speaker 8>who's doing it more purposefully. They're trying to suck that

960
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:31.679
<v Speaker 8>energy out of you to kind of benefit themselves. And

961
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:35.599
<v Speaker 8>I think that there was a level of like energy

962
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.960
<v Speaker 8>siphoning or energy like vamporism going on in that in

963
00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:43.719
<v Speaker 8>that place, I suspect purposefully. I don't remember sigils being

964
00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:46.920
<v Speaker 8>a part of it explicitly, but it also wouldn't surprise

965
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:47.760
<v Speaker 8>me if that were the case.

966
00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:50.480
<v Speaker 12>Well did you?

967
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:55.280
<v Speaker 7>I was just going to say, did you have any

968
00:52:55.280 --> 00:52:58.519
<v Speaker 7>other supernatural experiences while you were a part of that

969
00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:01.280
<v Speaker 7>cole other than like the and stuff.

970
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:06.360
<v Speaker 8>Most of what I directly experienced was stuff that took

971
00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:10.320
<v Speaker 8>place in like a a dream or dream adjacent space.

972
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:14.159
<v Speaker 8>So and for that reason, you know, again, it's hard

973
00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:17.199
<v Speaker 8>for me because I'm pretty pragmatic and skeptical, but I'm

974
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:19.960
<v Speaker 8>also somebody who like lives in this world and does

975
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:25.519
<v Speaker 8>this for a living. So I, in my brain, I

976
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:29.119
<v Speaker 8>hold two realities to be true at once. One, the

977
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:31.679
<v Speaker 8>brain is weird, and when we're asleep or hop asleep,

978
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:36.480
<v Speaker 8>it does also its a weird shit. But how you're

979
00:53:36.519 --> 00:53:38.400
<v Speaker 8>going to interpret that weird shit that your brain is

980
00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.360
<v Speaker 8>doing is really going to depend what your worldview is.

981
00:53:40.400 --> 00:53:42.519
<v Speaker 8>If you're a super like you know, my partner is

982
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:46.239
<v Speaker 8>extremely scientific. He's like, he doesn't really He's fascinated by

983
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:48.559
<v Speaker 8>mysticism and the occult, but he doesn't really ascribe to it.

984
00:53:48.599 --> 00:53:51.639
<v Speaker 8>He's a very sort of science based guy. And so

985
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:54.719
<v Speaker 8>if he has a hypnagogic hallucination of something, he's waken

986
00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:56.559
<v Speaker 8>up from a dream and he sees, you know, a

987
00:53:56.599 --> 00:53:58.360
<v Speaker 8>guy standing in the corner of his room, he's just

988
00:53:58.400 --> 00:54:01.360
<v Speaker 8>going to be like, my brain's and something weird. If

989
00:54:01.400 --> 00:54:04.159
<v Speaker 8>I see that, I'm going to say, my brain's doing

990
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:06.719
<v Speaker 8>something weird. But what is it trying to tell me?

991
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:09.639
<v Speaker 8>Is there some you know, why is this happening today

992
00:54:09.880 --> 00:54:12.199
<v Speaker 8>instead of last week? Is there some message that I'm

993
00:54:12.239 --> 00:54:14.159
<v Speaker 8>supposed to be taking from this thing that I'm seeing?

994
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:17.679
<v Speaker 8>Which I realize I'm rambling now, But to your point,

995
00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:21.159
<v Speaker 8>most of the things that I experienced in the cult

996
00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:23.920
<v Speaker 8>that I would describe as in some way paranormal took

997
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:28.159
<v Speaker 8>place in that kind of sphere. The biggest weirdest thing

998
00:54:28.320 --> 00:54:32.519
<v Speaker 8>was that I did have one night an experience where

999
00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:37.000
<v Speaker 8>I had been very frustrated with my lack of direct

1000
00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.800
<v Speaker 8>experience all these other people, you know, this now dead

1001
00:54:40.840 --> 00:54:43.039
<v Speaker 8>seventy five year old woman were walking around being like,

1002
00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:45.280
<v Speaker 8>oh yeah, I meet the vampires all the time, and

1003
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:47.079
<v Speaker 8>they send me roses and take me out to lunch.

1004
00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:51.360
<v Speaker 8>And I'm like, bitch, excuse me, Like where's my interaction?

1005
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:55.800
<v Speaker 8>You know, I'm pissed. I'm like, she looks like a

1006
00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:58.559
<v Speaker 8>tiny old woman and I'm a hot seventeen year old.

1007
00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:02.639
<v Speaker 8>What's going on over? Because stuff, where's.

1008
00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:04.320
<v Speaker 2>My It's like a mindfuck. I can see that.

1009
00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:08.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, so I can go in to bed that

1010
00:55:08.880 --> 00:55:11.679
<v Speaker 8>night and I'm like, you know, kind of talking in

1011
00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:14.960
<v Speaker 8>my head to one of these vampire moderators that I

1012
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:20.239
<v Speaker 8>had a rapport with, and mentally, I'm just like, listen, motherfucker,

1013
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:23.480
<v Speaker 8>Like this has gone on long enough. We have we

1014
00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:25.440
<v Speaker 8>have been talking back and forth for so long, and

1015
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:27.159
<v Speaker 8>you've been playing these mind games with me, and you've

1016
00:55:27.159 --> 00:55:30.719
<v Speaker 8>been sending me these little dreams like show up, show up, motherfucker.

1017
00:55:31.320 --> 00:55:31.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm ready.

1018
00:55:32.039 --> 00:55:35.639
<v Speaker 8>I won't go crazy. So I full sleep and I

1019
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:37.880
<v Speaker 8>wake up in the middle of the night as as

1020
00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:40.239
<v Speaker 8>you do sometimes, and I'm rolling over and I stretch

1021
00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:42.880
<v Speaker 8>my legs out a nice, big, like sleepy time stretch.

1022
00:55:43.280 --> 00:55:46.760
<v Speaker 8>And my foot connects with a shape on the end

1023
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:49.360
<v Speaker 8>of my bed like a like a heft, and I

1024
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:51.079
<v Speaker 8>think a trust is just like one of my cats

1025
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:54.360
<v Speaker 8>or something, and so I kind of opened my eyes blearly,

1026
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:57.599
<v Speaker 8>I'm kind of feeling around this lungk and I realized

1027
00:55:57.599 --> 00:56:00.519
<v Speaker 8>that it's too big to be a cat. And when

1028
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:02.320
<v Speaker 8>I open my eyes, I see that it's a figure

1029
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:05.880
<v Speaker 8>sitting on the end of my bed. And it was

1030
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:08.920
<v Speaker 8>very odd because I don't get sleep paralysis. I definitely

1031
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:12.679
<v Speaker 8>do have hypnogogic hallucinations, I definitely do have lucid dreams,

1032
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:16.440
<v Speaker 8>but I've never been asleep paralysis girly. So I'm seeing

1033
00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:19.480
<v Speaker 8>this thing sitting at the end of my bed, and cognitively,

1034
00:56:19.519 --> 00:56:22.400
<v Speaker 8>I'm realizing, this is what you asked for, this is

1035
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.679
<v Speaker 8>what you wanted to happen, like this is your chance.

1036
00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:30.199
<v Speaker 8>But then my entire body is flooded with terror, just

1037
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:33.320
<v Speaker 8>extreme terror, like what I hear people when people describe

1038
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:36.280
<v Speaker 8>sleep paralysis, I assume that this is what they're experiencing,

1039
00:56:36.320 --> 00:56:40.039
<v Speaker 8>like it was that level of visceral just like and

1040
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:47.679
<v Speaker 8>then as I'm experiencing this, suddenly it's almost like getting anesthesia.

1041
00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:50.440
<v Speaker 8>I'm suddenly not afraid at all anymore. All the physical

1042
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:53.599
<v Speaker 8>trappings of anxiety, like your heart rate going up and

1043
00:56:53.639 --> 00:56:56.840
<v Speaker 8>all of that, it just goes. And so again, cognitively,

1044
00:56:56.920 --> 00:56:59.599
<v Speaker 8>I know I'm scared, but I can't access the fear

1045
00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:03.639
<v Speaker 8>anymore more either. And as I'm looking at all this happened. This,

1046
00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:08.320
<v Speaker 8>this person is crawling up to bed, toward me, and

1047
00:57:08.360 --> 00:57:12.400
<v Speaker 8>my brain is my brain is like, stay awake, stay awake,

1048
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:14.360
<v Speaker 8>stay awake, stay awake. You wanted this, don't go sleep,

1049
00:57:14.679 --> 00:57:20.639
<v Speaker 8>sleep And I just fall asleep. And I woke up

1050
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:23.639
<v Speaker 8>in the morning and my bedside light was on, which

1051
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:25.840
<v Speaker 8>it had been off before I had gone to bed.

1052
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:28.400
<v Speaker 8>My bedroom door is open, which it had been closed

1053
00:57:28.440 --> 00:57:32.519
<v Speaker 8>before I went to bed, and I was like, well,

1054
00:57:33.519 --> 00:57:35.800
<v Speaker 8>and I think from memory, I logged onto the forum

1055
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:37.960
<v Speaker 8>later that day, the group that I was a part of,

1056
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:41.280
<v Speaker 8>and spoke to that moderator and he said some cryptic

1057
00:57:41.320 --> 00:57:45.599
<v Speaker 8>shit about you know, you know, how did you sleep

1058
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:50.679
<v Speaker 8>or whatever, you know, which could have been just innocuous coincidence.

1059
00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:53.159
<v Speaker 7>But at the time, like you didn't say anything about it.

1060
00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:55.639
<v Speaker 8>I think I had. I might have had a conversation

1061
00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:57.880
<v Speaker 8>with him about it, but it was it was one

1062
00:57:57.880 --> 00:57:59.719
<v Speaker 8>of those things too, where you never wanted to like,

1063
00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:03.880
<v Speaker 8>you never wanted them to think that you were going crazy,

1064
00:58:04.079 --> 00:58:05.920
<v Speaker 8>because if they thought you were going crazy and you

1065
00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:07.639
<v Speaker 8>were like getting in way over your head, you were

1066
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:09.320
<v Speaker 8>also going to get the boot, like if you were

1067
00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:12.920
<v Speaker 8>too crazy. So you had to kind of play it gingerly.

1068
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:14.320
<v Speaker 8>And I think, I, you know, I'm sure we had

1069
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:17.280
<v Speaker 8>it back and forth about it where he said some

1070
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:20.400
<v Speaker 8>cryptic shit and I read into it and was secretly panicking,

1071
00:58:20.440 --> 00:58:23.480
<v Speaker 8>but I was just like, oh, yeah, it's looked fine.

1072
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:24.159
<v Speaker 8>Why do you ask?

1073
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:29.000
<v Speaker 7>You know, right, he's basically saying like like cryptic shit

1074
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:33.199
<v Speaker 7>like nice Pj's last night, or right right, I hear.

1075
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:35.000
<v Speaker 8>You say you're sleep bitch like whatever.

1076
00:58:35.239 --> 00:58:36.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

1077
00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:39.679
<v Speaker 7>So I just have to say, for me, if I

1078
00:58:39.800 --> 00:58:42.639
<v Speaker 7>experienced something like that, whether it was related to the

1079
00:58:42.679 --> 00:58:46.280
<v Speaker 7>form or not, I would perceive that it was and

1080
00:58:46.440 --> 00:58:49.440
<v Speaker 7>also it would make me feel like it was more

1081
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:52.239
<v Speaker 7>real than ever. I don't know, you know, because you

1082
00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:54.719
<v Speaker 7>were awfully young when you were involved with this, and

1083
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:57.360
<v Speaker 7>I know how I was at that age, and I

1084
00:58:57.360 --> 00:58:59.480
<v Speaker 7>feel like that would have been proof to me that

1085
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:02.679
<v Speaker 7>these are this is like real and I'm really involved

1086
00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:03.719
<v Speaker 7>with something here.

1087
00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:06.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I can see how you got.

1088
00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:09.880
<v Speaker 7>Wrapped in that, because damn is all I got to

1089
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:10.559
<v Speaker 7>say about that.

1090
00:59:11.400 --> 00:59:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Did they try and like encourage you to have because

1091
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:18.079
<v Speaker 1>in the other interview I did, he spoke a lot

1092
00:59:18.159 --> 00:59:23.320
<v Speaker 1>about dreams but also dream sexually connecting, and I would assume,

1093
00:59:24.639 --> 00:59:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, if they're in this group and they're

1094
00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:29.559
<v Speaker 1>trying to harness energy, that's like a really good way

1095
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it.

1096
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:36.239
<v Speaker 9>As sorry.

1097
00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:43.960
<v Speaker 8>The eleant in the room. Yeah, yes, it was. Again,

1098
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:46.960
<v Speaker 8>it was one of those weird things where that was

1099
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.119
<v Speaker 8>a topic that was definitely broached. It was also because

1100
00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:53.880
<v Speaker 8>it was also like still in a weird sense role play,

1101
00:59:54.000 --> 00:59:56.480
<v Speaker 8>Like it was still you know, these these people are

1102
00:59:56.760 --> 00:59:59.079
<v Speaker 8>these characters, and even though we really believe that they

1103
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:01.880
<v Speaker 8>are these characters. We had a chat room, you know,

1104
01:00:01.880 --> 01:00:03.760
<v Speaker 8>a group chat room, and people would go in and

1105
01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:05.960
<v Speaker 8>like write little scenes together. We had this whole thing

1106
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:08.159
<v Speaker 8>where there was like a graveyard that we would all

1107
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:10.199
<v Speaker 8>go hang out in and write these little stories together.

1108
01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:14.880
<v Speaker 8>And multiple times over the history of my involvement with

1109
01:00:14.920 --> 01:00:18.519
<v Speaker 8>this group, various different members had you know, like cyber

1110
01:00:18.639 --> 01:00:21.840
<v Speaker 8>sax with the moderators and things like that, and there

1111
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:25.039
<v Speaker 8>definitely were conversations about Oh, I'm going to come visit

1112
01:00:25.039 --> 01:00:27.639
<v Speaker 8>you in your dreams. Nudge n dwink wink. You know,

1113
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:33.320
<v Speaker 8>never really happened to me. Interestingly, I think I was

1114
01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:36.000
<v Speaker 8>way too crazy pants and they were just like, oh,

1115
01:00:36.079 --> 01:00:39.199
<v Speaker 8>let's not give her any more fuel for that fire.

1116
01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:44.440
<v Speaker 8>She believes enough, she's enough of a loose canon without

1117
01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:46.800
<v Speaker 8>us adding that to the mix. But one of the

1118
01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:50.480
<v Speaker 8>things that did occur in the group, which in rent,

1119
01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:53.079
<v Speaker 8>I mean it could never happen today, like somebody's parents

1120
01:00:53.119 --> 01:00:57.239
<v Speaker 8>would be filing in lawsuit. There were kids who were

1121
01:00:57.239 --> 01:01:00.280
<v Speaker 8>like thirteen and fourteen who these people were having is

1122
01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:03.679
<v Speaker 8>like cyber sex relationships with you know.

1123
01:01:05.719 --> 01:01:07.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, every cult is a sex cult.

1124
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:09.960
<v Speaker 8>It's inevitable.

1125
01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, fourteen was the age right for Joseph too,

1126
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>so I mean, but really, honestly, if they're practicing a

1127
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>cult magic, then they're they're going to know that, you know,

1128
01:01:24.199 --> 01:01:26.320
<v Speaker 1>especially if it's virginal hate to be weird.

1129
01:01:27.320 --> 01:01:28.679
<v Speaker 5>That's some powerful magic.

1130
01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:34.079
<v Speaker 4>You seen year old vamp sex right.

1131
01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:36.440
<v Speaker 8>Right, That's that's the that's the business that's going to

1132
01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:38.800
<v Speaker 8>make you young forever in one way or another, more

1133
01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:44.360
<v Speaker 8>imprisoned forever. You know, if it were twenty twenty five, right, Yeah.

1134
01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Well that's why I had wanted to do it. I

1135
01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:46.679
<v Speaker 2>wanted to bring it up because I thought I could

1136
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>have been part of you know, like JJ was even

1137
01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to this before, like what's what's their means? What

1138
01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:53.880
<v Speaker 2>are they getting out of this? I was wondering if

1139
01:01:53.920 --> 01:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>there was some sort of Yeah, if there was even

1140
01:01:56.559 --> 01:01:58.559
<v Speaker 2>just a hate saying it, just like Larper's who are

1141
01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>even just trying to get some online as you send

1142
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:07.239
<v Speaker 2>me a picture because something you're a.

1143
01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:11.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we've been talking about vampire cult here on the

1144
01:02:11.639 --> 01:02:15.880
<v Speaker 3>cult rejects across the United States, Mexico and now some

1145
01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:18.719
<v Speaker 3>Australia stuff. So is this the question we ask every

1146
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:21.519
<v Speaker 3>other time is what's the Is this like Australian MK

1147
01:02:21.639 --> 01:02:23.320
<v Speaker 3>ultro situations connected to this.

1148
01:02:23.320 --> 01:02:27.239
<v Speaker 6>Because that's what it seems like with the American Mexican versions.

1149
01:02:27.599 --> 01:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Well that is true. I forgot that we have covered

1150
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>those vampire.

1151
01:02:32.280 --> 01:02:36.199
<v Speaker 6>We talked a lot of vampire stuff somewhat unrelated.

1152
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:38.880
<v Speaker 3>He played a vampire, but he then finds that money

1153
01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>to finance the sex cult stuff.

1154
01:02:48.840 --> 01:02:51.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean everybody in this group. I was one

1155
01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:53.679
<v Speaker 8>of the only Australian people so everybody else was was

1156
01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:59.440
<v Speaker 8>US based. Even kulture thing is interesting. I mean, I

1157
01:02:59.480 --> 01:03:03.079
<v Speaker 8>don't believe this I will have yet, but like in

1158
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:06.679
<v Speaker 8>my in my decade plus to like ruminate on all

1159
01:03:06.719 --> 01:03:11.360
<v Speaker 8>the experiences and just let my galaxy brain like ponder possibilities.

1160
01:03:11.719 --> 01:03:15.719
<v Speaker 8>There have been moments where I've been like this psyop,

1161
01:03:15.880 --> 01:03:19.039
<v Speaker 8>like was this some sort of like government like CIA

1162
01:03:19.400 --> 01:03:22.920
<v Speaker 8>psychic recruitment technique? And then I'm like, no, you need

1163
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:25.400
<v Speaker 8>to I don't even smoke weed, but if I did, like,

1164
01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:27.239
<v Speaker 8>you need to stop, you need to put it down.

1165
01:03:28.239 --> 01:03:30.480
<v Speaker 8>That's a little too kooky. But you know, I mean,

1166
01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:33.920
<v Speaker 8>the thing is that the universe and the world and

1167
01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:39.119
<v Speaker 8>the Internet for sure are much weirder than we think

1168
01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:40.000
<v Speaker 8>they are. You know.

1169
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:43.519
<v Speaker 7>But I think you're on the right track because I

1170
01:03:43.599 --> 01:03:46.119
<v Speaker 7>think they set up these forums and stuff not saying

1171
01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:47.440
<v Speaker 7>anything about you because.

1172
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:48.599
<v Speaker 4>Obviously you're a lovely person.

1173
01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:51.079
<v Speaker 7>Oh no, of course, I think you look for levels

1174
01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:55.119
<v Speaker 7>of psychopathy and people. I think the QAnon thing should

1175
01:03:55.159 --> 01:03:57.320
<v Speaker 7>prove that to everyone.

1176
01:03:57.559 --> 01:03:59.599
<v Speaker 4>They weaponize these.

1177
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:02.440
<v Speaker 7>Forums, They get into people's heads, they get them believe

1178
01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:07.000
<v Speaker 7>in stuff. They see what levels they can push you

1179
01:04:07.119 --> 01:04:11.320
<v Speaker 7>to act out in reality. And so yeah, I mean

1180
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:13.239
<v Speaker 7>I think you were part of one, but I think

1181
01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:16.559
<v Speaker 7>there's many, many, many diverse, different ones you can become

1182
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:19.920
<v Speaker 7>a part of. And they look for like people with

1183
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:24.679
<v Speaker 7>levels of psychopathy that they can control and manipulate and essentially,

1184
01:04:25.159 --> 01:04:27.119
<v Speaker 7>you know, have them do things.

1185
01:04:27.679 --> 01:04:29.800
<v Speaker 8>I think you hit the name.

1186
01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:32.599
<v Speaker 6>I think they just want to study these study human behavior.

1187
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.679
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I'm glad you said that.

1188
01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:39.400
<v Speaker 8>I'm glad you put brought up the QAnon thing though.

1189
01:04:40.159 --> 01:04:42.000
<v Speaker 8>That's why I have a One of my best friends

1190
01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:46.199
<v Speaker 8>is a just got her PhD. And she's working in

1191
01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:49.880
<v Speaker 8>a research capacity, or was until very recently for reasons,

1192
01:04:49.880 --> 01:04:55.119
<v Speaker 8>but she's working on research to do with online extremism

1193
01:04:55.159 --> 01:05:01.039
<v Speaker 8>and you know how groups online can become a little

1194
01:05:01.119 --> 01:05:05.760
<v Speaker 8>dangerous for various reasons. She's been reading school shooter manifestos

1195
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:07.599
<v Speaker 8>for the best better part of five years, and she's

1196
01:05:07.840 --> 01:05:10.519
<v Speaker 8>very tired and very sad, as you can imagine. But

1197
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:13.440
<v Speaker 8>over the last seat week we were talking about this.

1198
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:15.320
<v Speaker 8>She's known about this part of my history for years,

1199
01:05:15.320 --> 01:05:16.719
<v Speaker 8>but she was like, you really need to read this

1200
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:20.960
<v Speaker 8>book by this woman who just published a nonfiction book

1201
01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:23.679
<v Speaker 8>about QAnon. And the book's called The Quiet Damage by

1202
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:27.960
<v Speaker 8>Jesslin Cook. It's really, really really good. Highly recommend everybody

1203
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:31.760
<v Speaker 8>read it. But it talks about what it looks like

1204
01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:35.159
<v Speaker 8>for regular people to get entangled in things like this,

1205
01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:39.199
<v Speaker 8>entangled into communities and into belief systems that do completely

1206
01:05:41.079 --> 01:05:45.639
<v Speaker 8>change their outlook on life, but also have these overatching consequences,

1207
01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:49.039
<v Speaker 8>not just for their immediate families and their social groups,

1208
01:05:49.079 --> 01:05:53.920
<v Speaker 8>but for you know, possibly the country, the world. And

1209
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:56.480
<v Speaker 8>I think it's I think it's much more common when

1210
01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:58.679
<v Speaker 8>we think QAnon is the example that people point to

1211
01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:01.320
<v Speaker 8>is the real like oh boy, like that's the crazy

1212
01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:05.119
<v Speaker 8>the crazies, right, But there's a lot of groups like.

1213
01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:09.239
<v Speaker 7>That, And I was gonna say there was like varying

1214
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:13.199
<v Speaker 7>degrees of it. There's somebody who's been in our chat

1215
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:17.039
<v Speaker 7>the last couple of minutes. His name is Drew, and

1216
01:06:17.159 --> 01:06:20.159
<v Speaker 7>I actually did a show with him before and we

1217
01:06:20.239 --> 01:06:24.119
<v Speaker 7>talked about the Hoover Dam and there was a guy

1218
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:27.159
<v Speaker 7>who got obsessed with QAnon and he got in his

1219
01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:29.719
<v Speaker 7>car and drove it to the Hoover Dam and was

1220
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:30.519
<v Speaker 7>going to try to.

1221
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:31.920
<v Speaker 4>Blow it up or something like that.

1222
01:06:31.960 --> 01:06:36.440
<v Speaker 7>I mean, it's it's crazy, it's absolutely crazy. People get

1223
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:39.280
<v Speaker 7>obsessed with these things. But I have to say though, do.

1224
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:41.079
<v Speaker 4>You remember when my Space came out?

1225
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:46.559
<v Speaker 7>All right, that was like the thing to do before Facebook,

1226
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:49.519
<v Speaker 7>and you had like your top five friends or whatever.

1227
01:06:50.559 --> 01:06:52.280
<v Speaker 4>You put a little on your.

1228
01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:55.280
<v Speaker 8>If you took someone out of your top five.

1229
01:06:56.400 --> 01:07:01.039
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I mean I was so to MySpace when it

1230
01:07:01.079 --> 01:07:05.679
<v Speaker 7>first came out, and I didn't catfish. The movie had

1231
01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:09.960
<v Speaker 7>not come out yet, and there were several times I

1232
01:07:10.079 --> 01:07:13.880
<v Speaker 7>was catfished. And when I look back on it, these profiles,

1233
01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:17.079
<v Speaker 7>they'd have like five pictures and they were all like,

1234
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:22.639
<v Speaker 7>you know, like supermodel edited, like super hot emo guys,

1235
01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:26.360
<v Speaker 7>because that was like my generation was like emo guys.

1236
01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:31.400
<v Speaker 7>And they all had on like Sleeping with Sirens t

1237
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:34.119
<v Speaker 7>shirts and they just were like the perfect Like, oh

1238
01:07:34.159 --> 01:07:37.000
<v Speaker 7>my god, I was so obsessed. Easily I could have

1239
01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:40.639
<v Speaker 7>been lured to the mall, kidnapped, raped, thrown in a van,

1240
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:43.840
<v Speaker 7>dead by the river. It would have been so easy

1241
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:46.599
<v Speaker 7>because nobody thought about that stuff back then, like oh,

1242
01:07:46.639 --> 01:07:49.239
<v Speaker 7>this can't be a real person. Let me do some

1243
01:07:49.599 --> 01:07:53.039
<v Speaker 7>FBI type shit and find out, like you know, and

1244
01:07:53.079 --> 01:07:53.599
<v Speaker 7>look at this.

1245
01:07:53.800 --> 01:07:54.840
<v Speaker 4>It just wasn't.

1246
01:07:55.840 --> 01:07:59.480
<v Speaker 7>Nowadays, I think everybody's a freaking sci op person.

1247
01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:04.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't even trust family members anymore. But like it's

1248
01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:06.400
<v Speaker 4>just right thing back.

1249
01:08:06.239 --> 01:08:09.039
<v Speaker 8>Then, and it was harder to even like even if

1250
01:08:09.039 --> 01:08:12.400
<v Speaker 8>you had thought to yourself this, like, you know, xx

1251
01:08:13.519 --> 01:08:16.960
<v Speaker 8>my wrist slit. XX boy looks a little sketchy. I

1252
01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:18.600
<v Speaker 8>don't know if he's real or not. Like, even if

1253
01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:21.720
<v Speaker 8>that had crossed your mind, the tools to sleuth it

1254
01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:24.399
<v Speaker 8>out were not there. No, it wasn't like it is now.

1255
01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:27.199
<v Speaker 8>You have like, you know, your little AI Facebook up

1256
01:08:27.199 --> 01:08:29.119
<v Speaker 8>sites where you can upload someone's picture and be like,

1257
01:08:29.399 --> 01:08:32.039
<v Speaker 8>exactly where else on the Internet this person has been

1258
01:08:32.199 --> 01:08:34.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, yeah.

1259
01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:37.000
<v Speaker 7>Like a Google image search of that person's profile, pick

1260
01:08:37.119 --> 01:08:40.000
<v Speaker 7>and then they turn up to be like somebody else.

1261
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:42.600
<v Speaker 7>I mean, that's how that catfish lady got away with

1262
01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:45.680
<v Speaker 7>it for so long, because she would take like pictures

1263
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:49.279
<v Speaker 7>from Google or other people's facebooks and like upload them,

1264
01:08:49.359 --> 01:08:52.439
<v Speaker 7>and dude, she had a whole network worked out. But

1265
01:08:53.359 --> 01:08:56.960
<v Speaker 7>social media and these forums and stuff and themselves I

1266
01:08:57.000 --> 01:09:01.600
<v Speaker 7>think were very They were created by design, obviously for

1267
01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:04.279
<v Speaker 7>some type of outcome, and I think that they've been

1268
01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:06.199
<v Speaker 7>working perfectly for whatever.

1269
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:06.800
<v Speaker 8>That is.

1270
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:15.239
<v Speaker 2>Something I wanted to ask, and I actually mean this seriously.

1271
01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:17.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to get an that's what's going on

1272
01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>here or how far does this go besides vampires in

1273
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:23.880
<v Speaker 2>this thing? Did they entertain other things that were maybe

1274
01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:27.479
<v Speaker 2>like you know, fairies and gnomes or like, I'm being serious,

1275
01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:29.520
<v Speaker 2>but no, I take.

1276
01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:33.039
<v Speaker 8>It in real life? Who think gnomes are real?

1277
01:09:33.279 --> 01:09:35.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, no, no, but I'm just you know what

1278
01:09:35.479 --> 01:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, It's fine.

1279
01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:42.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, no, not really. I mean I think that there

1280
01:09:42.760 --> 01:09:47.279
<v Speaker 8>was some We definitely had, like a paranormal board on

1281
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:49.479
<v Speaker 8>the forum. I mean for anyone who's listening, and you

1282
01:09:49.520 --> 01:09:51.399
<v Speaker 8>guys will well know, but for anyone who's listening is

1283
01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:53.439
<v Speaker 8>like forums boards why you know, like you had your

1284
01:09:53.560 --> 01:09:56.079
<v Speaker 8>main forum, but then you had your sub boards kind

1285
01:09:56.079 --> 01:09:58.560
<v Speaker 8>of like in a discord server for like different stuff.

1286
01:09:59.239 --> 01:10:02.239
<v Speaker 8>And there was definitely a paranormal board where people would

1287
01:10:02.239 --> 01:10:06.000
<v Speaker 8>talk about. Ghosts were a big thing, like ghost spirits, apparitions,

1288
01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:09.319
<v Speaker 8>stuff like that. And I think if anyone ever came

1289
01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:13.039
<v Speaker 8>across like an interesting story about an encounter with something

1290
01:10:13.039 --> 01:10:15.479
<v Speaker 8>else like an alien or a gnome or whatever, I'm

1291
01:10:15.479 --> 01:10:17.439
<v Speaker 8>sure we would talk about it. But it wasn't so

1292
01:10:17.520 --> 01:10:21.279
<v Speaker 8>much part of the world, you know, what they were

1293
01:10:21.279 --> 01:10:22.920
<v Speaker 8>building and trying to really push.

1294
01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:25.920
<v Speaker 2>On people, so it was like really just strictly. I

1295
01:10:25.920 --> 01:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>guess what I'm trying to get out was like there's

1296
01:10:27.439 --> 01:10:30.039
<v Speaker 2>in like other forums for other things that it was

1297
01:10:30.079 --> 01:10:32.479
<v Speaker 2>just strictly really that vampire.

1298
01:10:32.640 --> 01:10:35.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it was like vampires all day, every day, okay,

1299
01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:38.560
<v Speaker 8>or mostly all night because you know there's.

1300
01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:46.319
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Jin said something about a PDF of Buddhism for vampires.

1301
01:10:46.399 --> 01:10:47.199
<v Speaker 4>What is that?

1302
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

1303
01:10:49.000 --> 01:10:51.760
<v Speaker 11>So he was a guy that the guy who runs it,

1304
01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:56.159
<v Speaker 11>he was a very famous Typhoni and Oto member, and

1305
01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:59.960
<v Speaker 11>he he did train I don't know how extensively.

1306
01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:04.279
<v Speaker 12>He doesn't say that's usually how it goes, but he did.

1307
01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:09.000
<v Speaker 11>He has some kind of initiation into some basic vagoriana practices.

1308
01:11:09.439 --> 01:11:13.319
<v Speaker 11>So then he created like a whole system of psychic vampiism.

1309
01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:16.319
<v Speaker 11>He called it Buddhism for vampires because, as I said,

1310
01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:20.520
<v Speaker 11>we do discuss like very carnal ground kinds of ideas.

1311
01:11:20.760 --> 01:11:23.720
<v Speaker 11>So yeah, I mean there, but it is it is

1312
01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:26.560
<v Speaker 11>like Celestin Nick we're talking about. It is typhony and Oto,

1313
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.039
<v Speaker 11>but then it's also there are vau Griana things there

1314
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:34.880
<v Speaker 11>are maybe like a kind of that like superficial I'm

1315
01:11:35.000 --> 01:11:37.399
<v Speaker 11>using the word in a more occultist way, but more

1316
01:11:37.399 --> 01:11:41.760
<v Speaker 11>of a satanic you know, flavor, but it's not it's

1317
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:46.399
<v Speaker 11>not really like crazy Satanism. It's more just the aesthetic

1318
01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:48.399
<v Speaker 11>maybe like maybe a goth aesthetic.

1319
01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:50.960
<v Speaker 12>So that's really what Buddhism for vampires is.

1320
01:11:50.960 --> 01:11:53.640
<v Speaker 11>But even if you look at the logo for it,

1321
01:11:53.640 --> 01:11:56.279
<v Speaker 11>it is just the seven seven seven thing like the

1322
01:11:56.359 --> 01:11:57.159
<v Speaker 11>Telema star.

1323
01:11:57.760 --> 01:11:58.800
<v Speaker 12>That's all is.

1324
01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:00.680
<v Speaker 11>But they just they make they gave it like a

1325
01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:07.720
<v Speaker 11>Buddhist Flairsonian mean, w.

1326
01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:10.439
<v Speaker 8>J Jin will be better at explaining that than me,

1327
01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:15.279
<v Speaker 8>because I'm a I'm only a peripheral o geo nowhere.

1328
01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:22.720
<v Speaker 11>Well, I mean, I'm I'm honestly my background is more

1329
01:12:22.840 --> 01:12:25.159
<v Speaker 11>like you sluss in a way because like I came

1330
01:12:25.159 --> 01:12:28.520
<v Speaker 11>from a left time path Catholicism kind of like I

1331
01:12:28.560 --> 01:12:32.239
<v Speaker 11>was really into grimoires and like you know, left hand

1332
01:12:32.279 --> 01:12:34.720
<v Speaker 11>path saints and all that stuff, as everybody.

1333
01:12:34.439 --> 01:12:36.439
<v Speaker 8>Already like Cyprian and stuff.

1334
01:12:36.760 --> 01:12:40.479
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, like Cyprian, and there's other ones there's like saying

1335
01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:44.239
<v Speaker 11>Lucy obviously, Saint Peter all those yeah, also left time path.

1336
01:12:44.319 --> 01:12:48.520
<v Speaker 11>So it depends, right, But uh so Typhony and Otio. Well,

1337
01:12:48.560 --> 01:12:50.600
<v Speaker 11>I'm familiar with Kenneth Grant, so I'll explain it like this.

1338
01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:54.039
<v Speaker 11>Julia is Kenneth Grant. He basically wrote a series of

1339
01:12:54.079 --> 01:12:58.119
<v Speaker 11>parafictional books, just like I mentioned before, So his books

1340
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:03.319
<v Speaker 11>are half fiction half oto material, but he takes it

1341
01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:06.960
<v Speaker 11>in a Lovecraftian way. Well, there's really two factions. There's

1342
01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:09.479
<v Speaker 11>a love Craftian faction, and you can see this with

1343
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:12.239
<v Speaker 11>Temple of Set, like I really like Don Webb. Don

1344
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:16.319
<v Speaker 11>Webb also Temple of Set, but he became a Buddhist afterwards, interestingly,

1345
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:19.039
<v Speaker 11>but he wrote a lot of these kind of books

1346
01:13:19.079 --> 01:13:24.840
<v Speaker 11>on a Lovecraft and how they were using this idea

1347
01:13:24.840 --> 01:13:27.520
<v Speaker 11>of Lovecraft in their magic, and how Aquino was so

1348
01:13:27.720 --> 01:13:30.359
<v Speaker 11>into it. But then there's this other faction that is

1349
01:13:30.600 --> 01:13:34.239
<v Speaker 11>into Conan, the Barbarian and the Hyperborean stories.

1350
01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:34.880
<v Speaker 8>I do.

1351
01:13:37.600 --> 01:13:40.000
<v Speaker 11>Though there was a kind of factional divide. I just

1352
01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:43.079
<v Speaker 11>find that very interesting. But basically he's talking about like

1353
01:13:43.119 --> 01:13:46.600
<v Speaker 11>abistle gods and the Mavre and he calls it the

1354
01:13:46.640 --> 01:13:49.119
<v Speaker 11>Gray Lodge. I also have a thing called the Gray Lodge.

1355
01:13:49.119 --> 01:13:52.680
<v Speaker 11>It's not related, but it is interesting that we both

1356
01:13:52.720 --> 01:13:56.920
<v Speaker 11>have the same title. But basically he's he's bringing these

1357
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:01.359
<v Speaker 11>ideas that not necessarily come from mythology, are not necessarily

1358
01:14:01.399 --> 01:14:04.359
<v Speaker 11>come from excuse me, like a religious cosmology, but he's

1359
01:14:04.439 --> 01:14:09.560
<v Speaker 11>drawing from this kind of fictional mythology that's contemporary, and

1360
01:14:09.600 --> 01:14:15.039
<v Speaker 11>they're bringing into actual magical ideas not just the facts

1361
01:14:15.079 --> 01:14:20.479
<v Speaker 11>of the fiction, but they're actually applying like more technical ideas,

1362
01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:23.239
<v Speaker 11>and then they're slotting in the names.

1363
01:14:23.319 --> 01:14:26.520
<v Speaker 12>The faces, the aesthetic, it's all of it.

1364
01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:30.920
<v Speaker 7>And so could you do that with anything though? Could

1365
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:34.399
<v Speaker 7>you do that with like vampires and put them in there? Yeah?

1366
01:14:34.520 --> 01:14:37.520
<v Speaker 8>Yes, okay, that's what pass magicians magic.

1367
01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna say, chass magic with typhony and

1368
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:42.039
<v Speaker 1>sex magic to the goddess.

1369
01:14:42.199 --> 01:14:46.079
<v Speaker 2>That's another reason why I asked about the sigils as well,

1370
01:14:46.239 --> 01:14:49.760
<v Speaker 2>and there are I'm just saying a lot of chas

1371
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:51.680
<v Speaker 2>magicians and love sigils. So that's why I was asking

1372
01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:52.640
<v Speaker 2>if people are using something.

1373
01:14:52.680 --> 01:14:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, j wealth of knowledge.

1374
01:14:57.760 --> 01:15:01.800
<v Speaker 3>I love you for sure always, Jim, thank you.

1375
01:15:02.039 --> 01:15:04.840
<v Speaker 8>That was an awesome and awesome explanation. I've always been

1376
01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:07.520
<v Speaker 8>fascinated by the Tifoni and Oto. I mean, I love lovecraft,

1377
01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:11.279
<v Speaker 8>and even though I have not now and will not

1378
01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:14.239
<v Speaker 8>ever join the Oto in any capacity for personal reasons,

1379
01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:20.880
<v Speaker 8>I am fascinated, you know by that. I think there's

1380
01:15:21.119 --> 01:15:24.760
<v Speaker 8>it's such rich fodder like stories are rich fodder, right,

1381
01:15:25.399 --> 01:15:30.439
<v Speaker 8>especially if you get a rich mythology like love crafty

1382
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:33.479
<v Speaker 8>and mythology or I mean, I am only possibly familiar

1383
01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:35.960
<v Speaker 8>with Conan the Barbarian, but you're kind of you're taking

1384
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:38.920
<v Speaker 8>an intellectual property or a world or a mythology that

1385
01:15:39.000 --> 01:15:43.399
<v Speaker 8>already has all the interlocking parts, but also an engine

1386
01:15:43.840 --> 01:15:46.199
<v Speaker 8>of people who have fed into it, even though most

1387
01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:49.000
<v Speaker 8>people are not reading HP. Love Crofts work and being like, oh,

1388
01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:52.920
<v Speaker 8>that's all definitely real. It's it's energy behind it from

1389
01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:55.279
<v Speaker 8>people for you know, well not hundreds of years, but

1390
01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:58.159
<v Speaker 8>people for like a very long time reading and investing

1391
01:15:58.199 --> 01:16:02.119
<v Speaker 8>and being interested, and that that's energy. That's energy that

1392
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:04.039
<v Speaker 8>they was a little battery.

1393
01:16:04.800 --> 01:16:09.199
<v Speaker 4>They made a show about it, right, my am. I

1394
01:16:09.239 --> 01:16:10.920
<v Speaker 4>the only one who saw that. It was like HB.

1395
01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Love Craft Show.

1396
01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:13.920
<v Speaker 2>County.

1397
01:16:13.960 --> 01:16:15.479
<v Speaker 8>I didn't watch it, but I heard it was.

1398
01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:21.199
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, I saw the first season and it's everything

1399
01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:25.239
<v Speaker 7>you would expect it to be. But yeah, no, this stuff,

1400
01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:29.000
<v Speaker 7>this stuff really interests me because you know, I talk

1401
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:31.880
<v Speaker 7>a lot about occultism and stuff like that, but I

1402
01:16:31.880 --> 01:16:34.079
<v Speaker 7>don't I don't know the ins and outs of it,

1403
01:16:34.319 --> 01:16:38.359
<v Speaker 7>like you know, Gin or even Celeste or Nick. I

1404
01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:44.079
<v Speaker 7>just I know that peripheral. If I want to know

1405
01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:47.199
<v Speaker 7>something about the process church, I'll ask you aj.

1406
01:16:49.720 --> 01:16:50.319
<v Speaker 6>That I do know.

1407
01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:52.039
<v Speaker 3>There you go, I can tell I can help you

1408
01:16:52.079 --> 01:16:54.000
<v Speaker 3>with that that as well. But one thing I did

1409
01:16:54.079 --> 01:16:56.039
<v Speaker 3>know about the Typhony and Oto is they have further

1410
01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:58.920
<v Speaker 3>offshoots that are these werewolf and vampire orders.

1411
01:16:58.960 --> 01:17:01.960
<v Speaker 8>I believe interesting. Interesting.

1412
01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:05.000
<v Speaker 11>One thing I want to I just want to deny

1413
01:17:05.119 --> 01:17:08.119
<v Speaker 11>any rumors that I'm associated with any of this. I

1414
01:17:08.199 --> 01:17:10.680
<v Speaker 11>really come from it from a chaos magic perspective. That's

1415
01:17:10.720 --> 01:17:13.760
<v Speaker 11>really my interest, Julia, is that I like the the

1416
01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:16.640
<v Speaker 11>lifting of frameworks like that. You can take just the

1417
01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:20.680
<v Speaker 11>magic framework and you can sort of apply ideas to it,

1418
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:23.760
<v Speaker 11>but I take it all conceptual. So that's a true

1419
01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:26.840
<v Speaker 11>chaos magic. Maybe you could say true chaos magician. You

1420
01:17:26.920 --> 01:17:29.399
<v Speaker 11>just take it comes completely in your mind. And so

1421
01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:33.119
<v Speaker 11>Buddhism makes it's like the next logical step if you're

1422
01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:33.960
<v Speaker 11>able to do that.

1423
01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:37.720
<v Speaker 12>Whereas some people they require all this.

1424
01:17:39.079 --> 01:17:41.680
<v Speaker 11>I Nick will laugh, but I call it like the

1425
01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:46.239
<v Speaker 11>ceremonial LARPing, like they you know, they require the ren fare.

1426
01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:48.479
<v Speaker 11>I'm not saying that it's I'm not saying that you

1427
01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:50.560
<v Speaker 11>don't burn candles and do all that stuff that can

1428
01:17:50.600 --> 01:17:53.079
<v Speaker 11>be useful for sure. But I'm just saying if you

1429
01:17:53.199 --> 01:17:58.000
<v Speaker 11>need like a whole ritual like thing, then yeah, maybe

1430
01:17:58.039 --> 01:18:00.199
<v Speaker 11>you would be more interested in like Typhony and don't

1431
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:01.800
<v Speaker 11>you I'm just interested in the ideas.

1432
01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:06.600
<v Speaker 7>The ritualism interests me because I remember one time I

1433
01:18:06.640 --> 01:18:08.800
<v Speaker 7>was talking to Nick and he made me laugh my

1434
01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:12.319
<v Speaker 7>fucking ass off because he said he was doing something

1435
01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:15.520
<v Speaker 7>in his bedroom with swinging some incense or doing something

1436
01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:16.640
<v Speaker 7>and his.

1437
01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:18.199
<v Speaker 4>Wife walked in and was like, what are you doing

1438
01:18:18.319 --> 01:18:21.079
<v Speaker 4>the Catholic rise.

1439
01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:26.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, literally, it's the Catholicism has a lot of

1440
01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:28.119
<v Speaker 7>that ritualism in it.

1441
01:18:27.840 --> 01:18:30.159
<v Speaker 4>So it just it interests me about that.

1442
01:18:30.279 --> 01:18:32.840
<v Speaker 2>So one thing I did want to mention about the

1443
01:18:33.359 --> 01:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Typhonian order. If you're like into like the Limaic magic

1444
01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:41.399
<v Speaker 2>or even Golden Down or a lot of like I

1445
01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:43.439
<v Speaker 2>would even assume maybe even the Temple is set, I

1446
01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:46.840
<v Speaker 2>don't you know stuff like that. At least with Alma,

1447
01:18:47.000 --> 01:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be practicing like the Hexagram ritual, in

1448
01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:55.520
<v Speaker 2>the Pentagram ritual probably for a long time. You know,

1449
01:18:55.600 --> 01:18:57.079
<v Speaker 2>that's going to be like, you know, something that you

1450
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>were used to doing constantly and in the hexagram ritual.

1451
01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:04.359
<v Speaker 2>You use the LVX formula and in there at some

1452
01:19:04.439 --> 01:19:10.880
<v Speaker 2>point you acknowledge purfos in Typhon. And the weird thing

1453
01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:14.359
<v Speaker 2>is that the whole LVX formula is Egyptian. That's why

1454
01:19:14.359 --> 01:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>he uses a pofos. But then twas is in the

1455
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Greek Pophus having Typhon, you know, and that's kind of

1456
01:19:20.239 --> 01:19:21.880
<v Speaker 2>like the rising beast in my opinion. You know, that's

1457
01:19:21.880 --> 01:19:24.359
<v Speaker 2>where I think it's symbolizing you. You even go like

1458
01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>that when you when you acknowledge a profis in Typhon.

1459
01:19:27.520 --> 01:19:30.800
<v Speaker 2>So I have wondered if I do think that when

1460
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:33.560
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the typhony in order, maybe at the

1461
01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:35.439
<v Speaker 2>beginning it was more for people that he thought that

1462
01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:40.039
<v Speaker 2>might have like had experienced maybe like actual magical experiences

1463
01:19:40.159 --> 01:19:44.119
<v Speaker 2>or the abyss. I could be wrong, But another reason

1464
01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:46.079
<v Speaker 2>why I do think that might be possible is because

1465
01:19:46.239 --> 01:19:47.720
<v Speaker 2>when it first started, I don't know if it's still

1466
01:19:47.760 --> 01:19:51.840
<v Speaker 2>like this. He took the same like pretty much adopted

1467
01:19:51.880 --> 01:19:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the same oto initiations or degrees. But you do not

1468
01:19:57.000 --> 01:19:58.880
<v Speaker 2>have to start off at the first if you if

1469
01:19:58.880 --> 01:20:02.600
<v Speaker 2>he didn't think you belonged it. So now if you

1470
01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:05.199
<v Speaker 2>did have a magical experience, and in my opinion, you

1471
01:20:05.199 --> 01:20:07.039
<v Speaker 2>did cross the abyss. You shouldn't be coming in starting

1472
01:20:07.079 --> 01:20:09.680
<v Speaker 2>a fucking first, you should be coming in where you belong.

1473
01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:12.000
<v Speaker 2>So I'm wondering if that is just more proof of

1474
01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:14.960
<v Speaker 2>why I do think that that might be the difference

1475
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:17.479
<v Speaker 2>between that order as well, Like I don't think. I

1476
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:20.319
<v Speaker 2>think maybe at exception, he wasn't so much trying to

1477
01:20:21.079 --> 01:20:23.319
<v Speaker 2>have people come there that I don't know what the

1478
01:20:23.319 --> 01:20:23.880
<v Speaker 2>fuck they're doing.

1479
01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:28.600
<v Speaker 4>That makes sense, Like newbies.

1480
01:20:28.520 --> 01:20:30.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, are people who don't actually know what magic.

1481
01:20:33.359 --> 01:20:37.199
<v Speaker 8>Didn't want?

1482
01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:40.319
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't it take a while to really understand what it is?

1483
01:20:40.359 --> 01:20:41.319
<v Speaker 4>Because I mean.

1484
01:20:42.760 --> 01:20:46.039
<v Speaker 7>There's so many Actually I have a question for use list,

1485
01:20:46.159 --> 01:20:49.319
<v Speaker 7>and you're the first witch I've ever met, So don't

1486
01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:49.920
<v Speaker 7>judge me.

1487
01:20:50.760 --> 01:20:54.439
<v Speaker 4>I did being a part of this cult? Did it

1488
01:20:54.520 --> 01:20:56.239
<v Speaker 4>lead you into those interests?

1489
01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:59.479
<v Speaker 7>Like did it lead you down the thought of like

1490
01:20:59.560 --> 01:21:02.079
<v Speaker 7>I want to do witchery stuff?

1491
01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:05.279
<v Speaker 1>You know? Not?

1492
01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:10.159
<v Speaker 8>Really? I have a weird like story with how that

1493
01:21:10.279 --> 01:21:12.880
<v Speaker 8>part of my life like kicked off And it sounds

1494
01:21:12.920 --> 01:21:15.479
<v Speaker 8>like very cringe almost to tell it, but like literally,

1495
01:21:15.520 --> 01:21:19.000
<v Speaker 8>when I was like six and seven years old, I

1496
01:21:19.119 --> 01:21:21.760
<v Speaker 8>was like pretending to be a fortune teller, like in

1497
01:21:21.800 --> 01:21:24.399
<v Speaker 8>my like little like hut in the garden, and like

1498
01:21:24.880 --> 01:21:28.000
<v Speaker 8>I was just always extremely drawn to that stuff, reading

1499
01:21:28.039 --> 01:21:30.039
<v Speaker 8>a lot of like kids books, but reading books about

1500
01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:32.479
<v Speaker 8>witches and stuff when I was like very little. So

1501
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:34.600
<v Speaker 8>I don't know where that comes from for me. I

1502
01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:37.319
<v Speaker 8>mean a lot of kids have spooky interests, but for me,

1503
01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:40.399
<v Speaker 8>it really was like lifelong, and it just evolved over

1504
01:21:40.479 --> 01:21:45.199
<v Speaker 8>time into researching and learning about more serious stuff, and

1505
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:48.359
<v Speaker 8>beginning when I was wickaned, primarily when I was a

1506
01:21:48.520 --> 01:21:51.640
<v Speaker 8>teenager because much like fan pass By having a boom,

1507
01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:54.239
<v Speaker 8>so we're witches because of the craft.

1508
01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:55.119
<v Speaker 4>And stuff I was gonna see.

1509
01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:58.439
<v Speaker 7>I wonder did those two things kind of like ran together,

1510
01:21:58.560 --> 01:22:02.079
<v Speaker 7>Like maybe the in the cult kind of fueled your

1511
01:22:02.159 --> 01:22:03.119
<v Speaker 7>other interests.

1512
01:22:03.479 --> 01:22:07.560
<v Speaker 8>It definitely few It definitely like fueled it to some

1513
01:22:07.640 --> 01:22:11.680
<v Speaker 8>degree it existed beforehand, but it definitely kind of it

1514
01:22:11.760 --> 01:22:13.600
<v Speaker 8>introduced me to a lot of occult topics that I

1515
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:17.039
<v Speaker 8>probably wouldn't have found otherwise until much later, stuff like

1516
01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:19.760
<v Speaker 8>to Betan Buddhism and the mysticism into Betan Buddhism. I mean,

1517
01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:23.560
<v Speaker 8>I wouldn't probably have encountered that on my own until

1518
01:22:23.640 --> 01:22:25.760
<v Speaker 8>much much later if I hadn't been in the cult.

1519
01:22:26.039 --> 01:22:29.399
<v Speaker 8>So it springboarded me into more serious occultism at like

1520
01:22:29.439 --> 01:22:32.520
<v Speaker 8>a young age. But I think I would always have

1521
01:22:33.439 --> 01:22:35.680
<v Speaker 8>found that to be like a path that I would

1522
01:22:35.720 --> 01:22:38.319
<v Speaker 8>have gone down. It just it took it in a

1523
01:22:39.479 --> 01:22:42.319
<v Speaker 8>in an interesting direction at an earlier age, I think.

1524
01:22:42.920 --> 01:22:44.960
<v Speaker 7>And you do it professionally, you said, for like the

1525
01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:46.479
<v Speaker 7>last seven or eight years.

1526
01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:51.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. So I have done like magic and psychic stuff

1527
01:22:51.119 --> 01:22:53.960
<v Speaker 8>for work since I was about nineteen, but very like

1528
01:22:54.079 --> 01:22:57.800
<v Speaker 8>part time. I started as an online psychic as a

1529
01:22:57.800 --> 01:23:00.439
<v Speaker 8>part time job when I was about nineteen, from a

1530
01:23:00.439 --> 01:23:03.840
<v Speaker 8>cye called Cassamba, which still exists. I do not work

1531
01:23:03.880 --> 01:23:06.159
<v Speaker 8>for them anymore because they would not pay me enough.

1532
01:23:08.079 --> 01:23:10.359
<v Speaker 8>But I did that, you know, as a side hustle

1533
01:23:10.439 --> 01:23:15.319
<v Speaker 8>all through college, and you know, continued to do such

1534
01:23:15.359 --> 01:23:17.279
<v Speaker 8>things as a side hustle for a long time. And

1535
01:23:17.319 --> 01:23:23.079
<v Speaker 8>then in about twenty sixteen twenty seventeen, maybe I was

1536
01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:26.720
<v Speaker 8>very very unhappy in my marketing job, my full time

1537
01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:30.399
<v Speaker 8>marketing job for a retro clothing company, and I kind

1538
01:23:30.399 --> 01:23:33.760
<v Speaker 8>of rage quit to just do it full time. I

1539
01:23:33.800 --> 01:23:35.880
<v Speaker 8>worked for a while out in Jackson Square in the

1540
01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:38.319
<v Speaker 8>French Quarter as that one of the little Terror readers

1541
01:23:38.359 --> 01:23:40.840
<v Speaker 8>set up at a lot cool going out there. It

1542
01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:43.920
<v Speaker 8>was cool except people got stabbed a lot, and that

1543
01:23:44.000 --> 01:23:44.720
<v Speaker 8>wasn't so cool.

1544
01:23:45.079 --> 01:23:47.159
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I had no shit, you know.

1545
01:23:48.880 --> 01:23:51.560
<v Speaker 8>I was not a fan of that. So after a

1546
01:23:51.560 --> 01:23:53.840
<v Speaker 8>little while out there, I got a job at some

1547
01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:56.319
<v Speaker 8>of the little stores in the French Quarter, just reading

1548
01:23:56.359 --> 01:23:59.239
<v Speaker 8>cards and stuff, and worked for a while at the

1549
01:23:59.279 --> 01:24:01.880
<v Speaker 8>vampire broutine in the French Quarter, which is another interesting

1550
01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:05.560
<v Speaker 8>kind of like intersection of vampires coming back into the story.

1551
01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:08.520
<v Speaker 8>And then I got my own store in the French

1552
01:24:08.600 --> 01:24:10.600
<v Speaker 8>Quarter in twenty twenty, Like right at the beginning of

1553
01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:13.760
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty, I signed this lease on my own storefront,

1554
01:24:13.800 --> 01:24:17.520
<v Speaker 8>which you know, in Tara Reader New Orleans terms, is

1555
01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:19.640
<v Speaker 8>like you've hit the big, the big big, if you're

1556
01:24:19.680 --> 01:24:22.359
<v Speaker 8>getting your own shop, you know. So I super stroked

1557
01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:25.239
<v Speaker 8>about that. I was in business with a friend of mine.

1558
01:24:25.479 --> 01:24:28.520
<v Speaker 8>We decorated the whole place, super excited, and then COVID

1559
01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:33.319
<v Speaker 8>lockdowns happened. I was gonna say yeah, and so for

1560
01:24:33.399 --> 01:24:35.520
<v Speaker 8>me though, actually it was a lifesaver because I actually

1561
01:24:35.560 --> 01:24:37.720
<v Speaker 8>hate talking to people face to face. Like I'm a

1562
01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:41.479
<v Speaker 8>very low energy person as far as like being one

1563
01:24:41.520 --> 01:24:44.039
<v Speaker 8>on one in person with people. I don't I love

1564
01:24:44.079 --> 01:24:47.239
<v Speaker 8>the Internet. I love talking online and phone and all

1565
01:24:47.279 --> 01:24:49.720
<v Speaker 8>of that, but it drains me very quickly having to

1566
01:24:49.760 --> 01:24:54.479
<v Speaker 8>be like face time with people face. So I was

1567
01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:58.359
<v Speaker 8>already kind of almost wishing I hadn't signed this lease

1568
01:24:58.359 --> 01:24:59.840
<v Speaker 8>because I was like, oh God, am I going to

1569
01:24:59.920 --> 01:25:01.920
<v Speaker 8>do those for sixty hours a week for like the

1570
01:25:01.920 --> 01:25:03.520
<v Speaker 8>rest of my life? Just go down to the French

1571
01:25:03.600 --> 01:25:06.319
<v Speaker 8>Quarter and have to find parking and deal with people?

1572
01:25:06.479 --> 01:25:09.640
<v Speaker 8>Oh uh? And then yeah, the lockdown's happened. I was

1573
01:25:09.760 --> 01:25:11.840
<v Speaker 8>very lucky. The person I was renting from said that

1574
01:25:11.880 --> 01:25:13.479
<v Speaker 8>it was cool, we would just cancel the lease, and

1575
01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:16.680
<v Speaker 8>I pivoted everything online. And so for the past five

1576
01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:19.600
<v Speaker 8>years full time, I've just been I do spell work

1577
01:25:19.640 --> 01:25:23.640
<v Speaker 8>for people. I do readings, I do truants like mediumship

1578
01:25:23.680 --> 01:25:25.199
<v Speaker 8>sessions and stuff like that.

1579
01:25:25.840 --> 01:25:27.960
<v Speaker 7>What is spell What's spell work?

1580
01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:32.199
<v Speaker 8>Pretty much what it sounds like. So you know, if

1581
01:25:32.199 --> 01:25:36.640
<v Speaker 8>you're if you're a magical practitioner or an occultist, you know, uh,

1582
01:25:36.880 --> 01:25:38.560
<v Speaker 8>they're going to people are going to call it different things,

1583
01:25:38.600 --> 01:25:41.399
<v Speaker 8>depending on what they practice and what their path is.

1584
01:25:43.079 --> 01:25:46.079
<v Speaker 8>More ceremonial magicians are probably going to call it rituals

1585
01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:49.000
<v Speaker 8>rather than spell work, which sounds kind of like Shinzy.

1586
01:25:49.119 --> 01:25:50.880
<v Speaker 8>You know, we can do a little spell work with

1587
01:25:50.920 --> 01:25:55.359
<v Speaker 8>our little jars and our little candles. But but yeah,

1588
01:25:55.439 --> 01:25:59.239
<v Speaker 8>it's it's essentially it's a ritual or a spell that

1589
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:03.560
<v Speaker 8>is done with various different materials in order to impact

1590
01:26:03.880 --> 01:26:08.680
<v Speaker 8>or affect a desired outcome. And so if you learn

1591
01:26:09.319 --> 01:26:13.239
<v Speaker 8>witchcraft or magic, or you know, you've become initiated into

1592
01:26:13.560 --> 01:26:15.760
<v Speaker 8>any of the initiatory traditions, you're going to learn how

1593
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:18.960
<v Speaker 8>to do it in a certain way. In my opinion,

1594
01:26:19.039 --> 01:26:22.279
<v Speaker 8>anyone can learn. As Nick was saying earlier, I don't

1595
01:26:22.279 --> 01:26:24.960
<v Speaker 8>think that means everybody on the planet is going to

1596
01:26:25.039 --> 01:26:27.800
<v Speaker 8>experience real magic, because that does take years of study

1597
01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:31.800
<v Speaker 8>and sometimes it just takes circumstance and kismet whether or

1598
01:26:31.840 --> 01:26:34.039
<v Speaker 8>not you're going to have that experience or not. But

1599
01:26:34.359 --> 01:26:36.600
<v Speaker 8>in theory, you don't have to be special in any

1600
01:26:36.600 --> 01:26:38.680
<v Speaker 8>way to learn how to do magic. Anyone can learn

1601
01:26:38.680 --> 01:26:41.319
<v Speaker 8>how to do magic. However, for my clients, a lot

1602
01:26:41.359 --> 01:26:44.079
<v Speaker 8>of them don't want to do that. They would rather

1603
01:26:44.159 --> 01:26:46.680
<v Speaker 8>just pay somebody else to do it, and so I

1604
01:26:46.720 --> 01:26:48.000
<v Speaker 8>do it for them.

1605
01:26:48.119 --> 01:26:48.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

1606
01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:51.720
<v Speaker 7>Interesting, that's so interesting. Have you ever had anybody be

1607
01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:56.399
<v Speaker 7>like I want this person dead or do something bad

1608
01:26:56.479 --> 01:26:57.279
<v Speaker 7>to this person.

1609
01:26:57.680 --> 01:27:04.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm not serious. Oh yeah, it happens.

1610
01:27:04.880 --> 01:27:07.840
<v Speaker 3>What's the curse environment situation here, for example? What's your

1611
01:27:07.840 --> 01:27:09.399
<v Speaker 3>opinion of haunted dolls?

1612
01:27:09.520 --> 01:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Curses?

1613
01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:13.600
<v Speaker 8>Oh, I think haunted dolls exist, but I have a

1614
01:27:14.119 --> 01:27:17.960
<v Speaker 8>I guess, a quirky opinion on haunted dolls. I think exists.

1615
01:27:17.960 --> 01:27:20.439
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if anyone here has read the work

1616
01:27:20.479 --> 01:27:22.920
<v Speaker 8>of Oh my god, what is her name? I'm going

1617
01:27:22.960 --> 01:27:25.359
<v Speaker 8>to forget now. She wrote the Exorcists Handbook. Her name

1618
01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:30.640
<v Speaker 8>is Josephine something, but I'm now McCarthy.

1619
01:27:30.000 --> 01:27:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Like real stuff.

1620
01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:35.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Josephine McCarthy is a occultist from the UK. She's

1621
01:27:35.840 --> 01:27:40.800
<v Speaker 8>fascinating lady, and she really knows her shit. And she

1622
01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:43.239
<v Speaker 8>worked as a as a straight up exorcist, not in

1623
01:27:43.239 --> 01:27:45.720
<v Speaker 8>the Catholic tradition, She's not Catholic, but she worked as

1624
01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:48.560
<v Speaker 8>like an exorcist for years and years and years. And

1625
01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:51.800
<v Speaker 8>she has an interesting theory about like haunted objects, haunted dolls.

1626
01:27:52.359 --> 01:27:55.399
<v Speaker 8>She says that in her experience professionally over like thirty

1627
01:27:55.399 --> 01:27:59.119
<v Speaker 8>plus years of doing exorcisms, anything with a face is

1628
01:27:59.159 --> 01:28:01.199
<v Speaker 8>something that is hear, it is going.

1629
01:28:01.439 --> 01:28:03.840
<v Speaker 4>Why does that give me the fucking creeps.

1630
01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I was hoping you're gonna say that

1631
01:28:07.000 --> 01:28:08.239
<v Speaker 3>they don't exist, That's what I was hoping.

1632
01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:13.159
<v Speaker 8>I'm sorry. No, I think I've never met one personally,

1633
01:28:13.239 --> 01:28:14.279
<v Speaker 8>but I do think they're real.

1634
01:28:14.560 --> 01:28:17.239
<v Speaker 4>Like Annabelle, I've met a doll?

1635
01:28:18.119 --> 01:28:20.239
<v Speaker 8>Really you did? Ye?

1636
01:28:20.880 --> 01:28:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

1637
01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:21.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

1638
01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:24.199
<v Speaker 7>Is that that's Chucky West?

1639
01:28:24.840 --> 01:28:27.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, down down in the Key West, in Key West.

1640
01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:28.720
<v Speaker 8>I've seen him too.

1641
01:28:29.159 --> 01:28:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're they're dangerous folks down there. You don't put

1642
01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:34.000
<v Speaker 3>a hanted doll in a civil war for it, or

1643
01:28:34.039 --> 01:28:36.640
<v Speaker 3>some historian buff such as myself might stumble across it.

1644
01:28:36.760 --> 01:28:39.560
<v Speaker 3>No bad photograph. We didn't get cursed for about ten

1645
01:28:39.640 --> 01:28:44.279
<v Speaker 3>or twelve years, did you really? Yeah?

1646
01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:45.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that can happened.

1647
01:28:46.079 --> 01:28:49.119
<v Speaker 9>I do, and I think you know, yeah.

1648
01:28:48.760 --> 01:28:53.119
<v Speaker 8>Depending on your worldview, right, spirits are everywhere you know,

1649
01:28:53.159 --> 01:28:56.520
<v Speaker 8>They're not They're not special and only hiding in these

1650
01:28:56.560 --> 01:29:00.640
<v Speaker 8>like very specific areas, fing you up. Spirits are all

1651
01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:02.680
<v Speaker 8>over the place. I last night, so I lived with

1652
01:29:02.720 --> 01:29:07.000
<v Speaker 8>another occultist. My my roommate is former Mormon now an occultist.

1653
01:29:07.199 --> 01:29:07.720
<v Speaker 8>Lovely guy.

1654
01:29:09.079 --> 01:29:12.159
<v Speaker 7>Oh so transition from one transition.

1655
01:29:13.119 --> 01:29:17.239
<v Speaker 8>To he's amazing. But I was when I came out

1656
01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:19.319
<v Speaker 8>of my room last night into the kitchen. I was

1657
01:29:19.319 --> 01:29:21.840
<v Speaker 8>just going to get water or something, and he's in

1658
01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:23.600
<v Speaker 8>the kitchen also when he pulls me aside and he

1659
01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:26.760
<v Speaker 8>was like, I just need to tell you that. When

1660
01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:29.439
<v Speaker 8>I was coming in here earlier, I glanced into the

1661
01:29:29.439 --> 01:29:32.560
<v Speaker 8>living room and I thought I saw you sitting in

1662
01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:35.560
<v Speaker 8>a chair with your hand, with your hands over your eyes.

1663
01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:39.079
<v Speaker 8>And then I looked again and realized it wasn't you.

1664
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:41.960
<v Speaker 8>I just think you should know. And I said, yeah, okay,

1665
01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:46.399
<v Speaker 8>that's good intel to have. I said, how did it feel?

1666
01:29:46.520 --> 01:29:49.680
<v Speaker 8>He said wet? I said wet. He was like, it

1667
01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:52.520
<v Speaker 8>felt wet. I didn't like it. I was like, okay,

1668
01:29:52.560 --> 01:29:54.520
<v Speaker 8>that's not great. I said, well, what are you going?

1669
01:29:54.600 --> 01:29:55.640
<v Speaker 8>What are we going to do about this? You know,

1670
01:29:55.680 --> 01:29:58.960
<v Speaker 8>we're instantly in occult roommate problem solving mode, because neither

1671
01:29:58.960 --> 01:30:01.000
<v Speaker 8>one of us has time for that. We're not really scared.

1672
01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:05.039
<v Speaker 8>We're just like, h no. And so he goes and

1673
01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:08.520
<v Speaker 8>gets some of his his his cleansing cologne and sprints

1674
01:30:08.520 --> 01:30:10.479
<v Speaker 8>is it over the chair in the living room. And

1675
01:30:10.479 --> 01:30:12.239
<v Speaker 8>I'm trying to think to myself, like this is spirit.

1676
01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:14.199
<v Speaker 8>I've lived in this house for almost eight years and

1677
01:30:14.359 --> 01:30:18.560
<v Speaker 8>I don't really experience any you know, problematic spirit activity

1678
01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:21.399
<v Speaker 8>for the most part, So what could this be? And

1679
01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:22.840
<v Speaker 8>then I said, I said to my room and I

1680
01:30:22.920 --> 01:30:25.319
<v Speaker 8>was like, you know, it's interesting you say wet. I said,

1681
01:30:25.319 --> 01:30:27.920
<v Speaker 8>when I first moved in here, I did distinctly get

1682
01:30:27.920 --> 01:30:31.279
<v Speaker 8>the impression that somebody had died in the bathtub in

1683
01:30:31.520 --> 01:30:34.640
<v Speaker 8>like the in the bathroom in the hallway. And he

1684
01:30:34.800 --> 01:30:36.800
<v Speaker 8>was like, oh shit, And I said, yeah, I said,

1685
01:30:36.800 --> 01:30:38.760
<v Speaker 8>but I've never had any problem with that spirit, Like

1686
01:30:38.800 --> 01:30:41.199
<v Speaker 8>I just said to her. You know, I'm a little crazy,

1687
01:30:41.239 --> 01:30:43.159
<v Speaker 8>so if I think there's a spirit around, I'll be like, Hi,

1688
01:30:43.760 --> 01:30:46.920
<v Speaker 8>I need to do things. Please don't disrupt my life. Sorry,

1689
01:30:47.600 --> 01:30:49.399
<v Speaker 8>I said, yeah, me and that spirit are cool, Like,

1690
01:30:49.439 --> 01:30:52.520
<v Speaker 8>I don't think it would be causing problems. And then

1691
01:30:52.560 --> 01:30:55.319
<v Speaker 8>I remembered that the night before I had taken a

1692
01:30:55.319 --> 01:30:58.199
<v Speaker 8>bath in that bathroom where this woman I think drowned,

1693
01:30:58.840 --> 01:31:00.960
<v Speaker 8>and I had forgotten to in the bathtub, like I

1694
01:31:00.960 --> 01:31:02.520
<v Speaker 8>had been on the phone with someone and I didn't

1695
01:31:02.560 --> 01:31:03.760
<v Speaker 8>want them to know I was in the bath so

1696
01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:05.239
<v Speaker 8>like I got out of the bath and just like

1697
01:31:05.319 --> 01:31:07.119
<v Speaker 8>kept the stopper in so I didn't have the water

1698
01:31:07.159 --> 01:31:09.880
<v Speaker 8>gurgling sound. And I had left the bath full for

1699
01:31:09.960 --> 01:31:12.439
<v Speaker 8>the entire day, and I was like, Oh, that's it.

1700
01:31:12.479 --> 01:31:20.399
<v Speaker 8>The spirit's pissed like this, she.

1701
01:31:20.439 --> 01:31:21.520
<v Speaker 4>Cut out, she cut out.

1702
01:31:21.920 --> 01:31:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, she did say that she was having a

1703
01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:27.239
<v Speaker 2>bad weather there so that this might have happened.

1704
01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:32.079
<v Speaker 7>It's the magic, the spirit, it's.

1705
01:31:33.760 --> 01:31:38.199
<v Speaker 1>The water bathtub portal sucked her back in because I'm

1706
01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:43.119
<v Speaker 1>not kidding the spirit's.

1707
01:31:41.560 --> 01:31:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to ask more questions about Josephin McCarthy.

1708
01:31:44.760 --> 01:31:52.399
<v Speaker 7>Another question, Come yeah, JJ, are you really cursed?

1709
01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:53.880
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

1710
01:31:54.279 --> 01:31:57.359
<v Speaker 3>I run, I read and Nick I read him a

1711
01:31:57.399 --> 01:31:59.840
<v Speaker 3>letter a couple of couple of months ago. Robert the

1712
01:32:00.039 --> 01:32:04.000
<v Speaker 3>oh that is wrote him a letter. Let me tell you, Julie,

1713
01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:06.680
<v Speaker 3>I can feel I can feel a long, long discussion

1714
01:32:06.680 --> 01:32:08.600
<v Speaker 3>in the last twelve or so years have been cursed

1715
01:32:08.600 --> 01:32:09.880
<v Speaker 3>by that damn Robert the Doll.

1716
01:32:10.279 --> 01:32:12.640
<v Speaker 6>They were talking about it on the Rejects last year.

1717
01:32:13.159 --> 01:32:16.000
<v Speaker 3>It or I'm out, I'm out, I'm leaving this place.

1718
01:32:16.039 --> 01:32:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not even going to one near this thing. And

1719
01:32:17.520 --> 01:32:18.880
<v Speaker 3>you're talking what you do to it?

1720
01:32:19.199 --> 01:32:20.479
<v Speaker 5>You had to make it mad.

1721
01:32:20.560 --> 01:32:20.840
<v Speaker 9>Did you?

1722
01:32:21.079 --> 01:32:23.239
<v Speaker 3>I took a photograph with it without asking him. Apparently

1723
01:32:23.279 --> 01:32:25.680
<v Speaker 3>you got to ask him first. And at the time

1724
01:32:25.720 --> 01:32:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Yeah, that's ridiculous. I'm not I'm going

1725
01:32:27.920 --> 01:32:29.600
<v Speaker 3>to ask this a stupid doll.

1726
01:32:29.800 --> 01:32:34.199
<v Speaker 1>I can take a photograph, I hear what well, looking now, JJ,

1727
01:32:34.399 --> 01:32:38.680
<v Speaker 1>looking out.

1728
01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:38.680
<v Speaker 6>Like this thing might be onto something here.

1729
01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:44.119
<v Speaker 4>I might be cursed you before you took the picture, but.

1730
01:32:44.079 --> 01:32:44.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm not gonna lie to you.

1731
01:32:44.960 --> 01:32:47.840
<v Speaker 3>So like every year around it like December first, about

1732
01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:50.199
<v Speaker 3>every year, I'd start considering. After about year five or so,

1733
01:32:50.239 --> 01:32:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I'd start considering, damn it, did that doll curse me?

1734
01:32:52.800 --> 01:32:53.000
<v Speaker 1>You know?

1735
01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:54.600
<v Speaker 3>And then around the year twelve, I was like, I'm

1736
01:32:54.600 --> 01:32:56.680
<v Speaker 3>gonna finally write that doll letter and say I'm sorry,

1737
01:32:57.079 --> 01:32:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry.

1738
01:32:58.680 --> 01:32:59.880
<v Speaker 4>Did you really Jake?

1739
01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:03.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I hope, but imagine how that went.

1740
01:33:04.720 --> 01:33:05.119
<v Speaker 6>I don't think.

1741
01:33:05.319 --> 01:33:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, I hope it hasn't gone well since then. I'm

1742
01:33:08.039 --> 01:33:09.239
<v Speaker 3>to be honest with you, it's.

1743
01:33:09.119 --> 01:33:11.319
<v Speaker 5>Uh, you're gonna have to go back there.

1744
01:33:11.600 --> 01:33:13.199
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, face to face apology.

1745
01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:16.439
<v Speaker 11>We need to find the current Darrow who can deal

1746
01:33:16.479 --> 01:33:18.479
<v Speaker 11>with it for you, like in person.

1747
01:33:18.479 --> 01:33:18.960
<v Speaker 9>That's what's up.

1748
01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:22.039
<v Speaker 11>Then you need to go to like the doll and

1749
01:33:22.079 --> 01:33:24.159
<v Speaker 11>you have to like give him like a seven day.

1750
01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:24.880
<v Speaker 12>Candle or something.

1751
01:33:25.119 --> 01:33:25.800
<v Speaker 5>The homage it.

1752
01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:27.279
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'm still.

1753
01:33:27.079 --> 01:33:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Writ in the Chamber of commerce to tell them they're

1754
01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:31.560
<v Speaker 3>irresponsible for putting a haunted Kerstell out in public like

1755
01:33:31.600 --> 01:33:32.800
<v Speaker 3>that flagrantly.

1756
01:33:33.399 --> 01:33:37.319
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you need an exorcism, you need like you need,

1757
01:33:37.439 --> 01:33:40.560
<v Speaker 7>like the power of Christ compels you like that.

1758
01:33:41.800 --> 01:33:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I think we should have Jonathan do it from the cults.

1759
01:33:44.600 --> 01:33:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Let him know, Lord have mercy.

1760
01:33:51.239 --> 01:33:51.439
<v Speaker 8>Though.

1761
01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:55.319
<v Speaker 7>You need to get tied down, strayed with p sue it,

1762
01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:56.960
<v Speaker 7>do all of it.

1763
01:33:57.439 --> 01:33:58.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to get naked, because half the time they

1764
01:33:59.000 --> 01:34:00.560
<v Speaker 1>get naked they rip their close off.

1765
01:34:00.720 --> 01:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1766
01:34:01.680 --> 01:34:05.520
<v Speaker 7>Sure, yeah, piss and ship everywhere or else desertate.

1767
01:34:06.840 --> 01:34:08.479
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure what this solation is, but I'm not

1768
01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:10.399
<v Speaker 3>the first person to be cursed by Robert the doll.

1769
01:34:10.960 --> 01:34:12.920
<v Speaker 3>The whole room that he sits in down there at

1770
01:34:13.119 --> 01:34:15.560
<v Speaker 3>this old Civil War fort where he's they've been into

1771
01:34:15.560 --> 01:34:18.319
<v Speaker 3>a museum of Robert for some reason. It sits on

1772
01:34:18.319 --> 01:34:18.960
<v Speaker 3>a mound by.

1773
01:34:18.880 --> 01:34:21.560
<v Speaker 5>The way to curse people, by the way to curse.

1774
01:34:21.760 --> 01:34:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Exactly exactly intentionally. There's flagrant irresponsibles.

1775
01:34:26.319 --> 01:34:30.520
<v Speaker 4>They put him on what's that, They put him on

1776
01:34:30.560 --> 01:34:32.000
<v Speaker 4>a mound the.

1777
01:34:32.079 --> 01:34:34.239
<v Speaker 3>Well the Civil War fort was built on top of

1778
01:34:34.279 --> 01:34:37.359
<v Speaker 3>the mound. He's inside the Civil Wars ah.

1779
01:34:37.399 --> 01:34:40.920
<v Speaker 4>She's back, Oh, gosh, your bag.

1780
01:34:42.760 --> 01:34:43.439
<v Speaker 8>God damn it.

1781
01:34:44.199 --> 01:34:45.600
<v Speaker 4>I had at least three more.

1782
01:34:48.079 --> 01:34:50.520
<v Speaker 1>We were talking about ghosts while you were gone to

1783
01:34:51.680 --> 01:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I definitely say it's because you left the water in

1784
01:34:54.600 --> 01:34:58.279
<v Speaker 1>the tub and that's a portal and you might have

1785
01:34:58.680 --> 01:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know.

1786
01:35:01.119 --> 01:35:02.920
<v Speaker 4>One thing I summoned it?

1787
01:35:03.399 --> 01:35:06.239
<v Speaker 9>Can you hear c lest I can hear you?

1788
01:35:06.279 --> 01:35:06.880
<v Speaker 5>Can you hear me?

1789
01:35:07.079 --> 01:35:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Yes, you sound great?

1790
01:35:08.359 --> 01:35:10.119
<v Speaker 8>Okay, sorry about that.

1791
01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:10.760
<v Speaker 5>That was weird.

1792
01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:13.479
<v Speaker 8>Don't talk shit about gross. I guess this lady was

1793
01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:15.159
<v Speaker 8>pissed at me and she was like, let's shut the

1794
01:35:15.159 --> 01:35:18.800
<v Speaker 8>whole shit down, like stop saying words about me.

1795
01:35:20.239 --> 01:35:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Denied. One thing I did want to ask you about. Uh,

1796
01:35:24.720 --> 01:35:27.840
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned josephin McCarthy. Did you know about her her

1797
01:35:27.880 --> 01:35:28.600
<v Speaker 2>magical order?

1798
01:35:30.039 --> 01:35:32.159
<v Speaker 8>I heard about it. I don't know a ton about it,

1799
01:35:32.199 --> 01:35:33.000
<v Speaker 8>but I did hear about it.

1800
01:35:33.039 --> 01:35:36.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually, uh, you know, I do

1801
01:35:36.279 --> 01:35:38.239
<v Speaker 2>you know I've talked about before. I think I've even

1802
01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:40.800
<v Speaker 2>mentioned it once or twice, But you know, I have

1803
01:35:40.920 --> 01:35:43.000
<v Speaker 2>talked about tons of times that I was in the

1804
01:35:43.000 --> 01:35:46.199
<v Speaker 2>OTO and I had stopped going for a bit before

1805
01:35:46.520 --> 01:35:48.560
<v Speaker 2>COVID happened, and then I started joining in on the

1806
01:35:48.640 --> 01:35:51.439
<v Speaker 2>zoom things. And when I had stopped going for probably

1807
01:35:51.439 --> 01:35:54.640
<v Speaker 2>about like sixty eight months. I was actually using that

1808
01:35:54.760 --> 01:35:57.840
<v Speaker 2>system instead. Oh really, Yeah, so when you said that was.

1809
01:35:57.840 --> 01:36:01.119
<v Speaker 8>Like, oh did you find it? You found it to

1810
01:36:01.159 --> 01:36:03.000
<v Speaker 8>be a good workable system.

1811
01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I think. So it's a little bit more personal. You're

1812
01:36:05.479 --> 01:36:09.199
<v Speaker 2>not really from what I as far as I got,

1813
01:36:09.279 --> 01:36:12.560
<v Speaker 2>you're not really working with it's hard to explain, like

1814
01:36:12.680 --> 01:36:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Pantheon's a gods. It's actually just very personal stuff. So

1815
01:36:16.000 --> 01:36:19.000
<v Speaker 2>that's interesting. I mean, you are doing ritual work, but

1816
01:36:19.039 --> 01:36:22.560
<v Speaker 2>it's not like I don't remember it wasn't It's it's different.

1817
01:36:22.680 --> 01:36:23.560
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely different.

1818
01:36:23.640 --> 01:36:26.359
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. I like her approach a lot. I think she's

1819
01:36:26.600 --> 01:36:29.760
<v Speaker 8>a fascinating person. And if you know, if I'm sure

1820
01:36:29.760 --> 01:36:31.920
<v Speaker 8>you have, but if if anyone ever listens to her talk,

1821
01:36:32.000 --> 01:36:35.720
<v Speaker 8>you know, on podcasts or whatever, she's just a wonderful

1822
01:36:35.920 --> 01:36:38.199
<v Speaker 8>breath of fresh air in the occult world. Because she's

1823
01:36:38.239 --> 01:36:40.560
<v Speaker 8>a you know, a slight not older woman, but she's

1824
01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:43.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, I think in her fifties, I believe. And

1825
01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:47.399
<v Speaker 8>she's got this like strong Northern England accent. She's just

1826
01:36:47.439 --> 01:36:49.359
<v Speaker 8>like very mad, she's very matter of fact.

1827
01:36:49.359 --> 01:36:50.880
<v Speaker 2>She's like shoots from the hip.

1828
01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:52.600
<v Speaker 8>Oh you know, yeah, you know.

1829
01:36:52.880 --> 01:36:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know one thing she did say that

1830
01:36:56.800 --> 01:36:59.319
<v Speaker 2>did kind of actually help nudge me out of the

1831
01:36:59.319 --> 01:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>OTO and sense too. Uh. And it's not that like

1832
01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm promoting her stuff, because again I used, you know,

1833
01:37:04.880 --> 01:37:07.399
<v Speaker 2>very did very little. She even says, to go through

1834
01:37:07.439 --> 01:37:09.880
<v Speaker 2>the whole course expect I think seventeenth to twenty years.

1835
01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:13.920
<v Speaker 2>So obviously I didn't do much. But uh, she the

1836
01:37:13.920 --> 01:37:16.239
<v Speaker 2>way she had put it, and it really dawned on me,

1837
01:37:16.359 --> 01:37:18.520
<v Speaker 2>like really good when she said this. One time, I

1838
01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:21.000
<v Speaker 2>was listening to a podcast that she did, and she

1839
01:37:21.079 --> 01:37:23.239
<v Speaker 2>did say that when you go to these orders, they said,

1840
01:37:23.279 --> 01:37:26.920
<v Speaker 2>all you're gonna do is get their their shade of magic.

1841
01:37:27.039 --> 01:37:30.880
<v Speaker 2>She says. Let's say the outlet is actual magic, and well,

1842
01:37:31.319 --> 01:37:33.279
<v Speaker 2>you're tapping into that, and then it comes to that

1843
01:37:33.359 --> 01:37:36.039
<v Speaker 2>light bulb. She says, once like the OTO is like

1844
01:37:36.079 --> 01:37:39.079
<v Speaker 2>throwing that red shade on top of it. That's the OTO.

1845
01:37:39.159 --> 01:37:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Then like let's say the gold Ones the Golden don

1846
01:37:42.079 --> 01:37:44.159
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, You're not actually really tapping

1847
01:37:44.199 --> 01:37:46.600
<v Speaker 2>into the source, you're just learning to tap into their

1848
01:37:46.680 --> 01:37:47.439
<v Speaker 2>shade of magic.

1849
01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:49.520
<v Speaker 8>She says, I think it's.

1850
01:37:49.439 --> 01:37:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Much better for you to just go to the source.

1851
01:37:51.880 --> 01:37:53.119
<v Speaker 2>And she said, that's what she.

1852
01:37:53.199 --> 01:37:54.479
<v Speaker 9>Thought sties for.

1853
01:37:55.199 --> 01:37:56.439
<v Speaker 12>That's really profound out.

1854
01:37:56.560 --> 01:37:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And when I heard that, I was like, that's interesting,

1855
01:37:58.439 --> 01:37:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I said, because I could see what you know I

1856
01:38:00.319 --> 01:38:03.800
<v Speaker 2>have because there is a specific idea with the O

1857
01:38:03.880 --> 01:38:06.439
<v Speaker 2>t O or other orders, they have their own pantheons

1858
01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:09.359
<v Speaker 2>and their own like ideas are almost religious text.

1859
01:38:09.720 --> 01:38:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Right.

1860
01:38:11.399 --> 01:38:15.319
<v Speaker 7>Does this lady do distant exorcisms? Because I think JJ

1861
01:38:15.479 --> 01:38:17.119
<v Speaker 7>needs one.

1862
01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:21.600
<v Speaker 8>I think she's retired now. Unfortunately, I think.

1863
01:38:21.479 --> 01:38:22.840
<v Speaker 4>I wrote about you, Celeste.

1864
01:38:22.840 --> 01:38:26.520
<v Speaker 7>Do you do any distant exorcisms?

1865
01:38:26.840 --> 01:38:29.560
<v Speaker 8>Most of the magic I do for clients is distance.

1866
01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:37.359
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, you know, Robert, Robert the Dall Exorcist, you know,

1867
01:38:37.479 --> 01:38:39.680
<v Speaker 8>you know some some players can help me out. I

1868
01:38:39.680 --> 01:38:41.199
<v Speaker 8>feel like we could. I feel like we could figure

1869
01:38:41.199 --> 01:38:43.720
<v Speaker 8>something out. Robert the Doll still bothering you all these

1870
01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:44.279
<v Speaker 8>years later.

1871
01:38:45.520 --> 01:38:47.119
<v Speaker 6>You wouldn't believe. You wouldn't believe the tales of I

1872
01:38:47.279 --> 01:38:48.319
<v Speaker 6>told you he would.

1873
01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:51.079
<v Speaker 4>He's being totally serious.

1874
01:38:51.960 --> 01:38:55.439
<v Speaker 3>Nick nixt heard of a portion of what I've gone

1875
01:38:55.479 --> 01:38:57.000
<v Speaker 3>through over the last twelve or so.

1876
01:38:57.239 --> 01:38:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I was even going to say, just at the time

1877
01:38:58.640 --> 01:39:01.479
<v Speaker 2>that I've known him, I could probably say he's probably.

1878
01:39:05.239 --> 01:39:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Your curse. He needs it.

1879
01:39:09.039 --> 01:39:10.800
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I got to hook him up with that Saint

1880
01:39:10.880 --> 01:39:12.119
<v Speaker 12>Cyprian stuff.

1881
01:39:12.159 --> 01:39:16.600
<v Speaker 8>So yeah, there you go, on the case, we'll do it.

1882
01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:19.319
<v Speaker 7>So I have a question for a celest I mean,

1883
01:39:19.479 --> 01:39:22.000
<v Speaker 7>obviously I don't I don't deal in any of this stuff.

1884
01:39:22.039 --> 01:39:26.159
<v Speaker 7>But in your opinion, you know, magic is real, magic works,

1885
01:39:27.399 --> 01:39:29.479
<v Speaker 7>but not everybody knows what they're doing.

1886
01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:32.159
<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, yep, that's okay.

1887
01:39:33.560 --> 01:39:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, certain magic like we've talked about before, solomonic

1888
01:39:37.680 --> 01:39:39.960
<v Speaker 1>magic and stuff you got. You can't be messing around

1889
01:39:40.319 --> 01:39:43.399
<v Speaker 1>like you will, yeah, talk about.

1890
01:39:43.239 --> 01:39:46.520
<v Speaker 8>Because because it's very because it is very real, and

1891
01:39:46.560 --> 01:39:51.560
<v Speaker 8>I think, like obviously everybody's going to have their own

1892
01:39:51.600 --> 01:39:54.479
<v Speaker 8>take on that and their own experiences. And like I said,

1893
01:39:54.600 --> 01:39:57.640
<v Speaker 8>my my own partner is extremely supportive of what I

1894
01:39:57.680 --> 01:39:59.760
<v Speaker 8>do and interested and wants to hear about it. But

1895
01:39:59.840 --> 01:40:02.880
<v Speaker 8>like he has such a I don't want to call

1896
01:40:02.920 --> 01:40:04.680
<v Speaker 8>it a black and white worldview because that's not fair,

1897
01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:08.479
<v Speaker 8>but it is such a pragmatic worldview that what interests

1898
01:40:08.520 --> 01:40:10.720
<v Speaker 8>him is data. He's like a big data science guy,

1899
01:40:10.760 --> 01:40:13.399
<v Speaker 8>and that's mysticism to him is like data and facts

1900
01:40:13.439 --> 01:40:17.000
<v Speaker 8>and numbers. Stuff that flies over my head, right, Like

1901
01:40:17.119 --> 01:40:20.760
<v Speaker 8>I don't understand name that. Yeah, that he's magic.

1902
01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Johnny says that numbers are God's language, so exactly.

1903
01:40:25.359 --> 01:40:28.560
<v Speaker 8>Exactly, So, you know, my partner and we meet in

1904
01:40:28.560 --> 01:40:31.319
<v Speaker 8>the middle because he is, whether he wants to admit

1905
01:40:31.359 --> 01:40:33.239
<v Speaker 8>it or not, a very mystical person. He's just coming

1906
01:40:33.279 --> 01:40:35.479
<v Speaker 8>at it from this this different angle. But all of

1907
01:40:35.520 --> 01:40:41.199
<v Speaker 8>this to say the question of like, is magic real?

1908
01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:44.600
<v Speaker 8>I mean it's very real to me. And I've seen

1909
01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:49.199
<v Speaker 8>things happen because of magic and as a result of

1910
01:40:49.239 --> 01:40:52.920
<v Speaker 8>magic that I really can't explain otherwise. And I think,

1911
01:40:53.039 --> 01:40:56.319
<v Speaker 8>but I think that some people who engage in the

1912
01:40:56.319 --> 01:40:59.119
<v Speaker 8>occult or dabble I hate to use that word because

1913
01:40:59.119 --> 01:41:01.199
<v Speaker 8>it feels a bit dismissed, but like dabble in witchcraft

1914
01:41:01.279 --> 01:41:03.600
<v Speaker 8>or debt. You know people who see rituals on the

1915
01:41:03.600 --> 01:41:05.800
<v Speaker 8>internet and they're like, oh, you know, I'll summon this

1916
01:41:05.880 --> 01:41:08.439
<v Speaker 8>solomonic demon. That sounds like a fun time. It's not

1917
01:41:08.520 --> 01:41:11.880
<v Speaker 8>a fun time I do it.

1918
01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:14.680
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't sound like a fun time to me. I mean,

1919
01:41:14.760 --> 01:41:16.800
<v Speaker 4>were you were scared getting into this?

1920
01:41:17.119 --> 01:41:19.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I've been scared so much.

1921
01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:21.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, Oh thank you for being honest. By

1922
01:41:21.720 --> 01:41:22.000
<v Speaker 4>the way.

1923
01:41:22.560 --> 01:41:25.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, No, I think it's important to talk about I

1924
01:41:25.960 --> 01:41:28.720
<v Speaker 8>will say when I first got you know, involved with

1925
01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:32.079
<v Speaker 8>magic and witchcraft. I wasn't scared at all. But then

1926
01:41:32.680 --> 01:41:35.680
<v Speaker 8>early twenty twenty, after I had been doing this already

1927
01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:39.159
<v Speaker 8>for like a long time, I had my ass handed

1928
01:41:39.159 --> 01:41:42.600
<v Speaker 8>to me in a way that was terrifying to the

1929
01:41:42.640 --> 01:41:45.640
<v Speaker 8>point where like, after I came through that experience, I

1930
01:41:45.840 --> 01:41:48.920
<v Speaker 8>was like this close to throwing out all my shit,

1931
01:41:49.760 --> 01:41:52.479
<v Speaker 8>getting rid of all my books and being like that's

1932
01:41:52.520 --> 01:41:54.920
<v Speaker 8>it for me, because that got a little too real.

1933
01:41:56.000 --> 01:41:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I think that you're smarter now because I will say this,

1934
01:41:59.439 --> 01:42:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm a nurse as well, like a registered nurse, and

1935
01:42:02.319 --> 01:42:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the most scary thing we ever see as a nurse

1936
01:42:04.680 --> 01:42:07.439
<v Speaker 1>that thinks she knows everything right, and like you're you're

1937
01:42:07.439 --> 01:42:10.800
<v Speaker 1>a better nurse if you don't really know everything and

1938
01:42:10.840 --> 01:42:12.079
<v Speaker 1>you're willing to ask for help.

1939
01:42:12.159 --> 01:42:16.239
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, absolutely, you were like you were like having

1940
01:42:16.279 --> 01:42:20.560
<v Speaker 7>scary like like demons or ghosts or.

1941
01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:26.880
<v Speaker 8>I had an experience with a spirit and I had

1942
01:42:26.920 --> 01:42:28.279
<v Speaker 8>been you know, I don't know, I don't know if

1943
01:42:28.319 --> 01:42:30.560
<v Speaker 8>it's close to what JJ has has been through, but

1944
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:34.640
<v Speaker 8>I was having some experiences that there was just a

1945
01:42:34.680 --> 01:42:38.800
<v Speaker 8>little bit too many bad things clustering in a short

1946
01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:41.479
<v Speaker 8>space of time, and you know, I'm again very much

1947
01:42:41.479 --> 01:42:43.800
<v Speaker 8>a skeptic. I'm like, Okay, bad things happen. You know,

1948
01:42:44.000 --> 01:42:45.720
<v Speaker 8>sometimes you're just gonna have bad day. Your car is

1949
01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:47.760
<v Speaker 8>going to break down, a family member is going to

1950
01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:51.680
<v Speaker 8>get hurt, like it just happens's life. But if too

1951
01:42:51.760 --> 01:42:54.199
<v Speaker 8>many of those things cluster in a small space of

1952
01:42:54.239 --> 01:42:58.319
<v Speaker 8>time for me with my worldview, I'm like, hmm, okay.

1953
01:42:59.199 --> 01:43:01.399
<v Speaker 8>And so I had done what I usually do in

1954
01:43:01.399 --> 01:43:03.720
<v Speaker 8>those situations, which was I had, you know, done a

1955
01:43:03.840 --> 01:43:06.279
<v Speaker 8>ritual to just kind of cleanse myself in my space

1956
01:43:06.319 --> 01:43:08.560
<v Speaker 8>and get rid of any ick that was floating around.

1957
01:43:09.000 --> 01:43:11.680
<v Speaker 8>And when I did that, the candle I was burning

1958
01:43:12.000 --> 01:43:14.720
<v Speaker 8>went completely black. It was you know, a glass jar

1959
01:43:14.920 --> 01:43:18.600
<v Speaker 8>candle and in candle magic candle divination. If you're burning

1960
01:43:18.640 --> 01:43:20.640
<v Speaker 8>something and it goes all the way down black soot,

1961
01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:23.840
<v Speaker 8>that is not a good sign. And halfway through it

1962
01:43:23.840 --> 01:43:27.079
<v Speaker 8>burning down, the candle exploded and then nearly burned down

1963
01:43:27.319 --> 01:43:31.239
<v Speaker 8>the room that I was burning it in. So at

1964
01:43:31.239 --> 01:43:34.720
<v Speaker 8>that point I was like, something's up. That's not good.

1965
01:43:35.439 --> 01:43:37.520
<v Speaker 8>And I talked to a couple of friends of mine

1966
01:43:37.560 --> 01:43:42.800
<v Speaker 8>and some mentors about what could be going on, and yeah,

1967
01:43:43.840 --> 01:43:47.279
<v Speaker 8>let's go rounds with Robert will live stream it.

1968
01:43:51.640 --> 01:43:54.239
<v Speaker 7>Please please live stream it.

1969
01:43:54.479 --> 01:43:56.199
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I want to be a part of it. I

1970
01:43:56.399 --> 01:43:59.920
<v Speaker 4>want it out too. I probably a part of it.

1971
01:44:00.199 --> 01:44:01.039
<v Speaker 6>I don't want to anywhere near that.

1972
01:44:01.119 --> 01:44:05.520
<v Speaker 8>Damn, a ghost just turned off my entire ass computer

1973
01:44:05.600 --> 01:44:07.640
<v Speaker 8>set up. I probably shouldn't be so ballsy, like, yeah,

1974
01:44:07.680 --> 01:44:11.359
<v Speaker 8>let's go, let's take down Robert. But anyway, what happened

1975
01:44:11.520 --> 01:44:14.399
<v Speaker 8>was at that point I asked friends for their thoughts.

1976
01:44:14.840 --> 01:44:16.560
<v Speaker 8>This is something that I will say if anyone is

1977
01:44:16.600 --> 01:44:20.520
<v Speaker 8>a practitioner or they want to be a practitioner, get

1978
01:44:20.560 --> 01:44:24.239
<v Speaker 8>yourself a tight group of occultist friends that you trust,

1979
01:44:24.399 --> 01:44:27.359
<v Speaker 8>who you can turn to if you're having an experience,

1980
01:44:27.399 --> 01:44:30.680
<v Speaker 8>whether it's a dream or weird stuff happening in your life,

1981
01:44:30.800 --> 01:44:33.800
<v Speaker 8>or you think you're seeing a spirit. It's so important

1982
01:44:33.800 --> 01:44:36.600
<v Speaker 8>to be discerning because sometimes it's just you and you're tired,

1983
01:44:36.680 --> 01:44:38.920
<v Speaker 8>and you're paranoid and your head's all fucked up. So

1984
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:41.600
<v Speaker 8>get people you trust that you can talk to, who

1985
01:44:41.640 --> 01:44:44.680
<v Speaker 8>can check for you, and just be a little bit

1986
01:44:44.680 --> 01:44:47.399
<v Speaker 8>of a grounding influence. But very sadly, in this instance,

1987
01:44:47.439 --> 01:44:49.840
<v Speaker 8>my friend was kind of looking into it for me

1988
01:44:49.880 --> 01:44:52.600
<v Speaker 8>and he said, oh no, there's definitely summons up there's

1989
01:44:52.640 --> 01:44:54.840
<v Speaker 8>something around you or in your house or you know,

1990
01:44:54.880 --> 01:44:59.039
<v Speaker 8>you got to get rid of it. So he gave

1991
01:44:59.079 --> 01:45:02.880
<v Speaker 8>me his recommendation of what kind of ritual I should

1992
01:45:02.920 --> 01:45:05.079
<v Speaker 8>do to really deal with this thing. And basically it

1993
01:45:05.119 --> 01:45:08.800
<v Speaker 8>was a it's called a spirit trap ritual. We kind

1994
01:45:08.800 --> 01:45:11.560
<v Speaker 8>of my friend's a conjure man, so it was kind

1995
01:45:11.560 --> 01:45:16.560
<v Speaker 8>of in this folk conjure pop gaetia part other. We

1996
01:45:16.560 --> 01:45:18.119
<v Speaker 8>weren't so many any demons to do it, but it

1997
01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:21.199
<v Speaker 8>was sort of a solomonic folk magic ritual to get

1998
01:45:21.359 --> 01:45:22.039
<v Speaker 8>deal with the spirit.

1999
01:45:22.399 --> 01:45:25.119
<v Speaker 2>To say, well, is in solomonic magic you are trying

2000
01:45:25.119 --> 01:45:26.960
<v Speaker 2>to trap a demon into a specific.

2001
01:45:26.640 --> 01:45:29.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you're trying to bind bind the spirit. And so

2002
01:45:29.800 --> 01:45:32.399
<v Speaker 8>we used this right or I use this right to

2003
01:45:32.439 --> 01:45:34.359
<v Speaker 8>do it that he told me all the steps to do.

2004
01:45:34.399 --> 01:45:38.520
<v Speaker 8>I got everything ready and the ritual involved. You know,

2005
01:45:38.560 --> 01:45:42.159
<v Speaker 8>it used planetary hours. If anyone watching or I'm sure

2006
01:45:42.199 --> 01:45:44.119
<v Speaker 8>somebody y'all on the call have done it. But if

2007
01:45:44.159 --> 01:45:47.680
<v Speaker 8>you're using like planetary magic, it's very specific timing wise,

2008
01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:49.319
<v Speaker 8>You've got to be up at a certain time down

2009
01:45:49.359 --> 01:45:52.960
<v Speaker 8>to the minute to call on certain energies and certain spirits.

2010
01:45:53.560 --> 01:45:56.319
<v Speaker 8>So anyway I prep everything, I get it all organized.

2011
01:45:57.279 --> 01:45:59.119
<v Speaker 8>This was quite a few years ago. I told my

2012
01:45:59.159 --> 01:46:01.479
<v Speaker 8>boyfriend at the time, like, don't worry about me tomorrow.

2013
01:46:01.600 --> 01:46:03.239
<v Speaker 8>Just ignore me. I'm going to be doing some stuff.

2014
01:46:03.359 --> 01:46:07.000
<v Speaker 8>Just live your life. If I'm chanting in a room,

2015
01:46:07.039 --> 01:46:11.680
<v Speaker 8>don't worry about it. And the morning that I was

2016
01:46:11.720 --> 01:46:13.079
<v Speaker 8>due to do this, I think I had to start

2017
01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:17.199
<v Speaker 8>at five am. I woke up in the worst pain

2018
01:46:17.239 --> 01:46:21.960
<v Speaker 8>of my life and I had like eleven out of

2019
01:46:22.000 --> 01:46:25.119
<v Speaker 8>ten GI pain. I was like, not, I'm going to

2020
01:46:25.159 --> 01:46:27.520
<v Speaker 8>be an elegant. I was shitting my brains out.

2021
01:46:27.560 --> 01:46:31.399
<v Speaker 7>I was showing like stoic knew it.

2022
01:46:33.199 --> 01:46:38.239
<v Speaker 8>And I I was oscillating between like the bathtub and

2023
01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:41.319
<v Speaker 8>the toilet and then trying to get like because I

2024
01:46:41.359 --> 01:46:43.079
<v Speaker 8>had to do shit on the hour every hour for

2025
01:46:43.119 --> 01:46:45.479
<v Speaker 8>this ritual. And I remember messaging with my friend and

2026
01:46:45.520 --> 01:46:49.000
<v Speaker 8>being like, I think I'm dying, Like I am in

2027
01:46:49.199 --> 01:46:54.560
<v Speaker 8>so much pain. Can I can't stop shitting like what

2028
01:46:55.119 --> 01:46:59.159
<v Speaker 8>I had finish this ritual? And he was like, well, yeah,

2029
01:46:59.199 --> 01:47:01.039
<v Speaker 8>the spirit doesn't want to go and it's pissed at you.

2030
01:47:01.119 --> 01:47:03.960
<v Speaker 8>And I was like, fantastic, Well, I might have to

2031
01:47:03.960 --> 01:47:05.680
<v Speaker 8>go to a hospital, Like what do you recommend I

2032
01:47:05.680 --> 01:47:06.800

<v Speaker 8>get it done. You just got you cannot stop doing

2034
01:47:09.520 --> 01:47:12.640

2035
01:47:12.720 --> 01:47:16.359
<v Speaker 8>was witnessing this all and being like, you look like shit.

01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:19.319
<v Speaker 8>Like I was running a fever. I couldn't walk. My

2037
01:47:19.600 --> 01:47:21.359
<v Speaker 8>partner at the time was like, you have to go

2038
01:47:21.439 --> 01:47:24.560
<v Speaker 8>to a hospital, and I was like, no, I have

2039
01:47:24.600 --> 01:47:27.039
<v Speaker 8>to finish chanting to Saturn.

2040
01:47:28.239 --> 01:47:30.600
<v Speaker 1>You say, you know, if I don't finish this, we're

2041
01:47:30.600 --> 01:47:32.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna have locknest monster in the bathtub.

<v Speaker 5>Listen, We're gonna have.

2043
01:47:34.079 --> 01:47:36.359

01:47:36.479 --> 01:47:37.520
<v Speaker 8>go back to bed and shut up.

2045
01:47:37.560 --> 01:47:40.399
<v Speaker 7>And shooting your pants is definitely a fucking problem.

<v Speaker 4>It's a problem. I'm in there, yeah, crying out the

2047
01:47:43.760 --> 01:47:44.399

<v Speaker 5>It's not it's not, no.

2049
01:47:48.520 --> 01:47:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Serious, I know it happens.

2050
01:47:52.159 --> 01:47:55.199
<v Speaker 8>I do not recommend the colonoscopy by spirit It's like

2051
01:47:55.279 --> 01:47:56.399
<v Speaker 8>not as.

2052
01:47:58.560 --> 01:47:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like.

2053
01:48:01.920 --> 01:48:02.840
<v Speaker 4>It was spiritual.

2054
01:48:03.920 --> 01:48:06.880
<v Speaker 5>But I'm done, right, So I finished colonoscopy.

2055
01:48:07.119 --> 01:48:12.880
<v Speaker 8>Go to colonoscopy will be the title of autobiography. My god. So,

2056
01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:15.119
<v Speaker 8>but I did it. I finished it. It got done.

2057
01:48:15.119 --> 01:48:17.600
<v Speaker 8>I think it took it was about a twelve hour process,

2058
01:48:17.600 --> 01:48:19.520
<v Speaker 8>like on the hour, every hour. I somehow managed to

2059
01:48:19.600 --> 01:48:24.279
<v Speaker 8>like force myself through it. And at the end of

2060
01:48:24.359 --> 01:48:28.399
<v Speaker 8>that process, like literally the moment I finished that last

2061
01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:30.359
<v Speaker 8>chant and I sealed this jar and it was all

2062
01:48:30.399 --> 01:48:36.359
<v Speaker 8>done fine physically fine wow, And I put it out

2063
01:48:36.359 --> 01:48:37.560
<v Speaker 8>in the garden, which was you know. I was like,

2064
01:48:37.600 --> 01:48:39.439
<v Speaker 8>what do I do with this fucking jar at this point,

2065
01:48:39.479 --> 01:48:41.439
<v Speaker 8>And my friend was like, Okay, well, you're going to

2066
01:48:41.479 --> 01:48:43.239
<v Speaker 8>want to put it obviously away from your house. And

2067
01:48:43.279 --> 01:48:44.359
<v Speaker 8>I said, but how am I going to know if

2068
01:48:44.399 --> 01:48:46.640
<v Speaker 8>it worked? I mean, should have been obvious at the

2069
01:48:46.640 --> 01:48:48.960
<v Speaker 8>point in time that I was no longer extremely unwell

2070
01:48:49.000 --> 01:48:50.159
<v Speaker 8>that it had worked. But I was like, how do

2071
01:48:50.239 --> 01:48:51.279
<v Speaker 8>I know? How do I know what's in here? I

2072
01:48:51.319 --> 01:48:54.960
<v Speaker 8>don't know? And my friend said, you're just you're just

2073
01:48:54.960 --> 01:48:56.520
<v Speaker 8>gonna know. You're just going to know. So you hear

2074
01:48:56.560 --> 01:48:59.079
<v Speaker 8>this a lot from other people in the occult when

2075
01:48:59.119 --> 01:49:01.520
<v Speaker 8>your first like really learning serious magic. Oh, you're just

2076
01:49:01.560 --> 01:49:03.840
<v Speaker 8>gonna know. It's such an annoying thing to hear. It's like,

2077
01:49:03.840 --> 01:49:06.960
<v Speaker 8>what do you mean, I'm just gonna know? Ock you Anyway,

2078
01:49:07.239 --> 01:49:09.960
<v Speaker 8>I put it in my front yard, where at the

2079
01:49:10.039 --> 01:49:12.880
<v Speaker 8>time I had this gigantic catinet bush that was just

2080
01:49:12.920 --> 01:49:15.520
<v Speaker 8>growing all over the yard. I mean, catnip is a mint,

2081
01:49:15.560 --> 01:49:18.119
<v Speaker 8>it takes over everything, grows like a weed, and this

2082
01:49:18.159 --> 01:49:21.760
<v Speaker 8>plant was very robust. And three days later the entire

2083
01:49:21.840 --> 01:49:24.880
<v Speaker 8>plant had died. The whole thing was dead. And I

2084
01:49:24.920 --> 01:49:29.439
<v Speaker 8>was like, well, wow, that worked, I guess, but it

2085
01:49:29.479 --> 01:49:32.359
<v Speaker 8>was terrifying. It was a terrifying experience, and not because

2086
01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:36.920
<v Speaker 8>anything spooky supernatural was happening, like things weren't appearing to

2087
01:49:36.960 --> 01:49:41.079
<v Speaker 8>me or like being spooky, but the toll that it

2088
01:49:41.119 --> 01:49:43.720
<v Speaker 8>had taken on my physical body, which you know, if

2089
01:49:43.720 --> 01:49:45.520
<v Speaker 8>you're a science minded person, you can say, well, that's

2090
01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:47.920
<v Speaker 8>probably just totally totally coincidence, like bitch, you write too

2091
01:49:47.960 --> 01:49:51.199
<v Speaker 8>much taco bell, Like that's what's going on there, right,

2092
01:49:51.439 --> 01:49:57.920
<v Speaker 8>like not like uh. And it was horrifying, horrifying, and

2093
01:49:57.960 --> 01:50:02.600
<v Speaker 8>I very nearly because apparently this spirit had no way

2094
01:50:02.600 --> 01:50:05.399
<v Speaker 8>ill intent. It wasn't trying to fuck me up. Apparently

2095
01:50:05.399 --> 01:50:08.680
<v Speaker 8>this was literally just a spirit that was ambiently around

2096
01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:11.079
<v Speaker 8>and that had noticed me and was like, oh, there's

2097
01:50:11.119 --> 01:50:15.199
<v Speaker 8>a witch. I'll just say hi, you know, and I'll

2098
01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:17.720
<v Speaker 8>just say hi in a way that starts ruining her life,

2099
01:50:17.720 --> 01:50:19.239
<v Speaker 8>because that's a good way to get attention.

2100
01:50:20.159 --> 01:50:21.600
<v Speaker 5>Oh and the energy.

2101
01:50:21.680 --> 01:50:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, even if they don't mean to, they're gonna

2102
01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:26.319
<v Speaker 1>suck some suck some blood, right if we want to

2103
01:50:26.359 --> 01:50:27.199
<v Speaker 1>go vampiric.

2104
01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:30.199
<v Speaker 8>Yep. And that's why that was my very hard one

2105
01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:33.039
<v Speaker 8>lesson of here's how we have good spiritual boundaries and

2106
01:50:33.119 --> 01:50:37.680
<v Speaker 8>good spiritual cleanliness. But yeah, I very nearly threw in

2107
01:50:37.720 --> 01:50:38.880
<v Speaker 8>the towel at that point.

2108
01:50:38.960 --> 01:50:42.840
<v Speaker 7>So you live in New Orleans obviously, Okay, Yeah, I

2109
01:50:42.840 --> 01:50:45.000
<v Speaker 7>mean I feel like I've been there a few times.

2110
01:50:45.199 --> 01:50:47.279
<v Speaker 4>I just feel like it's a haunted place to live.

2111
01:50:47.760 --> 01:50:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

2112
01:50:47.960 --> 01:50:49.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, to be honest with you, I mean.

2113
01:50:51.720 --> 01:50:54.039
<v Speaker 7>You're saying like something could have happened in that place

2114
01:50:54.359 --> 01:50:57.279
<v Speaker 7>before you moved in or something like that. A lot

2115
01:50:57.319 --> 01:51:01.039
<v Speaker 7>of the places, like even driving by them be like gosh,

2116
01:51:01.119 --> 01:51:04.359
<v Speaker 7>this just gives me the he begbis like it's a

2117
01:51:04.399 --> 01:51:07.159
<v Speaker 7>haunted kind of creepy dark place.

2118
01:51:08.000 --> 01:51:10.439
<v Speaker 8>There's there's a lot of energy here, I think. I

2119
01:51:10.479 --> 01:51:12.199
<v Speaker 8>mean the place that I live in. I'm not down

2120
01:51:12.279 --> 01:51:15.079
<v Speaker 8>like in the French Quarter or anything. Because your girl

2121
01:51:15.319 --> 01:51:17.680
<v Speaker 8>does not make that kind of psychic money. I'm not

2122
01:51:18.199 --> 01:51:20.279
<v Speaker 8>agree yet, So I'm not you know, like I'm not

2123
01:51:20.399 --> 01:51:23.199
<v Speaker 8>raking it in but you know, I live in a

2124
01:51:23.239 --> 01:51:27.199
<v Speaker 8>house on the outskirts of Orleans Paris, so I'm still

2125
01:51:27.199 --> 01:51:29.760
<v Speaker 8>technically in New Orleans, but it's more the suburbs. My

2126
01:51:29.800 --> 01:51:33.319
<v Speaker 8>house was built in like nineteen sixty three, I think

2127
01:51:33.520 --> 01:51:36.840
<v Speaker 8>nineteen nineteen fifty nineteen fifty three, so it's not like

2128
01:51:36.960 --> 01:51:40.600
<v Speaker 8>old old history, haunty. But yeah, New Orleans is just

2129
01:51:40.640 --> 01:51:44.079
<v Speaker 8>a place with a lot of energy, spirits and also

2130
01:51:44.319 --> 01:51:45.279
<v Speaker 8>just like I.

2131
01:51:45.199 --> 01:51:48.560
<v Speaker 7>Mean Hurricane to Trina stuff about to say the like,

2132
01:51:48.760 --> 01:51:52.119
<v Speaker 7>I mean, yeah, even if you don't live right in

2133
01:51:52.119 --> 01:51:54.920
<v Speaker 7>the quarter, I just I feel like with all that

2134
01:51:55.079 --> 01:52:01.000
<v Speaker 7>energy that even came through with that is kind of wild,

2135
01:52:01.079 --> 01:52:04.000
<v Speaker 7>but patty and angry. It's funny you mentioned her. I

2136
01:52:04.000 --> 01:52:05.800
<v Speaker 7>don't know if anybody else knows who that is, but

2137
01:52:05.840 --> 01:52:09.840
<v Speaker 7>that's the one they always get on ghost adventures.

2138
01:52:09.840 --> 01:52:11.159
<v Speaker 4>Do you know who I'm talking about?

2139
01:52:11.199 --> 01:52:15.800
<v Speaker 7>It's this It's the one lady they're always consulting on

2140
01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:19.079
<v Speaker 7>ghost adventures when they call in a hychic. That's that's

2141
01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:21.359
<v Speaker 7>who she's talking about.

2142
01:52:22.439 --> 01:52:24.760
<v Speaker 8>And I don't know that she's extremely wealthy. I just

2143
01:52:24.840 --> 01:52:27.319
<v Speaker 8>assume that she is.

2144
01:52:27.000 --> 01:52:30.199
<v Speaker 4>She is too, Yeah, they're always.

2145
01:52:29.920 --> 01:52:32.159
<v Speaker 7>Calling her in, and I almost don't feel like she's

2146
01:52:32.279 --> 01:52:35.760
<v Speaker 7>very good on the episodes. It's like she walks in

2147
01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:38.560
<v Speaker 7>there and she just says some real vague generalities, and

2148
01:52:38.600 --> 01:52:40.920
<v Speaker 7>it's like, why didn't she freaking hire me to do that.

2149
01:52:41.079 --> 01:52:43.960
<v Speaker 4>I go in there and tell you more than she did, not.

2150
01:52:44.119 --> 01:52:44.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure.

2151
01:52:47.840 --> 01:52:51.680
<v Speaker 8>No, I mean, I think celebrity celebrity psychics and celebrity

2152
01:52:52.800 --> 01:52:55.079
<v Speaker 8>occultists are their whole own thing.

2153
01:52:54.920 --> 01:52:55.159
<v Speaker 7>You know.

2154
01:52:55.199 --> 01:52:57.239
<v Speaker 8>And I mean, God, I don't want my mouth to

2155
01:52:57.279 --> 01:53:00.560
<v Speaker 8>get me into trouble this evening, so let's not it's not.

2156
01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:04.720
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, I mean that's the other thing I think.

2157
01:53:04.720 --> 01:53:08.399
<v Speaker 8>Any It's not that they aren't legit people who become

2158
01:53:08.439 --> 01:53:11.680
<v Speaker 8>public figures and do things, but I think the nature

2159
01:53:11.720 --> 01:53:16.359
<v Speaker 8>of media also is that the legit stuff doesn't really sell.

2160
01:53:17.119 --> 01:53:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I know, you know, yeah, there's magicians that have

2161
01:53:21.640 --> 01:53:24.239
<v Speaker 1>rabbits and hats, and then there's magicians.

2162
01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:27.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah and they both yeah.

2163
01:53:27.199 --> 01:53:28.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2164
01:53:29.000 --> 01:53:34.039
<v Speaker 7>Somebody said something about glittering generalities one of my favorite

2165
01:53:34.279 --> 01:53:37.039
<v Speaker 7>logical fallacies. Well, it's like they get in there and

2166
01:53:37.079 --> 01:53:40.840
<v Speaker 7>she's like, oh my next burning you know, she'll like

2167
01:53:40.880 --> 01:53:42.920
<v Speaker 7>scratch it real quick, Oh look at this scratch on

2168
01:53:42.960 --> 01:53:43.359
<v Speaker 7>my neck.

2169
01:53:44.840 --> 01:53:48.680
<v Speaker 5>Come on, Patty, did you have a mother. Did you

2170
01:53:48.760 --> 01:53:49.279
<v Speaker 5>have a mother?

2171
01:53:50.039 --> 01:53:51.079
<v Speaker 9>I think you had a mother.

2172
01:53:53.439 --> 01:53:58.439
<v Speaker 8>Somebody in your family was a smoker. It's like, yeah, okay.

2173
01:53:58.600 --> 01:54:03.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, all of them masks narrow it down something like that.

2174
01:54:07.720 --> 01:54:13.399
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I feel like someone you know, mother, father, grandmother,

2175
01:54:13.520 --> 01:54:16.960
<v Speaker 7>may bee Caucasianian.

2176
01:54:18.880 --> 01:54:25.119
<v Speaker 4>How would you guess? I'm not obviously Celesti. I'm not

2177
01:54:25.159 --> 01:54:25.800
<v Speaker 4>making fun of me.

2178
01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:27.640
<v Speaker 8>No, No, I don't feel that way at all. I

2179
01:54:28.560 --> 01:54:31.720
<v Speaker 8>just see similar similar feelings.

2180
01:54:31.840 --> 01:54:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I have a friend. Actually, her name's Whitney. You

2181
01:54:34.760 --> 01:54:36.680
<v Speaker 7>guys may know her, Whitney Fox.

2182
01:54:37.119 --> 01:54:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Uh, she's the she's the real deal. She's a really

2183
01:54:40.640 --> 01:54:41.239
<v Speaker 4>cool lady.

2184
01:54:42.319 --> 01:54:45.720
<v Speaker 7>And uh yeah, I just I feel like people who

2185
01:54:45.760 --> 01:54:48.960
<v Speaker 7>actually have a talent for it, they're not They're not

2186
01:54:49.039 --> 01:54:52.079
<v Speaker 7>on Ghost Adventures, they're not you know.

2187
01:54:52.640 --> 01:54:57.920
<v Speaker 8>So no, I agree. I mean, I think it's also

2188
01:54:57.920 --> 01:55:00.600
<v Speaker 8>possible that some of these people who become like big

2189
01:55:00.800 --> 01:55:05.119
<v Speaker 8>media figures, not to single out Patty, but folks in

2190
01:55:05.199 --> 01:55:08.279
<v Speaker 8>that in that wheelhouse. I think sometimes, you know, maybe

2191
01:55:08.279 --> 01:55:11.119
<v Speaker 8>there is a legitimate skill and a talent and a

2192
01:55:11.159 --> 01:55:14.840
<v Speaker 8>gift there, but once you have to do it once

2193
01:55:14.880 --> 01:55:17.479
<v Speaker 8>a week on television with with fucking I don't even

2194
01:55:17.520 --> 01:55:19.439
<v Speaker 8>know who who is on ghost Adventures at Zach Bag

2195
01:55:19.560 --> 01:55:21.760
<v Speaker 8>and whoever? It is like, you know, some like backwards

2196
01:55:21.800 --> 01:55:25.279
<v Speaker 8>baseball cap looking ass go toe guy being like the

2197
01:55:25.319 --> 01:55:28.279
<v Speaker 8>Ghost House you know, did you hear that?

2198
01:55:28.560 --> 01:55:29.359
<v Speaker 5>Did you hear that?

2199
01:55:29.800 --> 01:55:33.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah? It must. It probably creates a need to just

2200
01:55:34.039 --> 01:55:37.239
<v Speaker 8>like play the role and not worry about really like

2201
01:55:37.359 --> 01:55:38.880
<v Speaker 8>tapping in on a deeper level.

2202
01:55:39.000 --> 01:55:43.119
<v Speaker 7>Well, I'll say one, there's one show that is like

2203
01:55:43.199 --> 01:55:46.079
<v Speaker 7>that that I will say to this day. I'm a

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was trying to because he was he was retired,

2215
01:56:22.560 --> 01:56:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I think, a detective in New York. But I never

2216
01:56:24.479 --> 01:56:25.279
<v Speaker 2>never got a response.

2217
01:56:25.479 --> 01:56:28.359
<v Speaker 7>Well he I can only imagine you two talking to

2218
01:56:28.439 --> 01:56:33.640
<v Speaker 7>each other with your big New York accents. But yeah, no,

2219
01:56:33.800 --> 01:56:36.800
<v Speaker 7>she's she fascinates me. But you so do use Celeste.

2220
01:56:36.800 --> 01:56:37.399
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna lie.

2221
01:56:37.439 --> 01:56:39.079
<v Speaker 7>I kind of would like to have you on my

2222
01:56:39.199 --> 01:56:43.279
<v Speaker 7>show and ask you all kinds of which craft three questions.

2223
01:56:43.319 --> 01:56:45.920
<v Speaker 8>Oh yeah, I'm down. I'm down. I haven't done a

2224
01:56:46.079 --> 01:56:48.279
<v Speaker 8>podcast in forever. And then I feel like in this

2225
01:56:48.359 --> 01:56:50.800
<v Speaker 8>last week, everybody's like, do you want to be on

2226
01:56:50.880 --> 01:56:51.920
<v Speaker 8>a podcast?

2227
01:56:53.039 --> 01:56:55.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, it's funny. Is another podcaster that I'm

2228
01:56:55.520 --> 01:56:58.079
<v Speaker 2>friends with literally hit me up, like, you know, I've

2229
01:56:58.119 --> 01:56:59.600
<v Speaker 2>been trying to get her on for a while.

2230
01:57:00.840 --> 01:57:04.760
<v Speaker 8>Oh I think I know, because I kind of went

2231
01:57:05.039 --> 01:57:08.000
<v Speaker 8>like self mode for the past, like gear, and I

2232
01:57:08.039 --> 01:57:10.359
<v Speaker 8>really wasn't I wasn't even really updating my Instagram. It

2233
01:57:10.439 --> 01:57:14.279
<v Speaker 8>was just like mostly strictly business stuff, not putting out

2234
01:57:14.279 --> 01:57:16.199
<v Speaker 8>a bunch of other content. I was really burned out

2235
01:57:16.239 --> 01:57:20.079
<v Speaker 8>from just the content mill and the constant demands of

2236
01:57:20.119 --> 01:57:23.239
<v Speaker 8>the Internet. And then I went and decided to make

2237
01:57:23.279 --> 01:57:25.520
<v Speaker 8>a stupid TikTok and here we.

2238
01:57:25.479 --> 01:57:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Are now TikTok every time.

2239
01:57:30.319 --> 01:57:33.680
<v Speaker 2>That's well, the good timing Jen has a question, Yeah,

2240
01:57:33.720 --> 01:57:34.439
<v Speaker 2>go for it, Jen.

2241
01:57:35.279 --> 01:57:37.399
<v Speaker 12>Okay, So thank you very much, Hidi and Nick.

2242
01:57:37.960 --> 01:57:40.359
<v Speaker 11>So I have one comment, one question, and obviously I

2243
01:57:40.399 --> 01:57:42.479
<v Speaker 11>said I would deticase, Heidi in the chat.

2244
01:57:42.359 --> 01:57:43.520
<v Speaker 12>So I will do that.

2245
01:57:44.600 --> 01:57:47.920
<v Speaker 11>So Celest you were talking about how your partner is

2246
01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:52.039
<v Speaker 11>very analytical, so of course Nick knows I love Kabala.

2247
01:57:52.199 --> 01:57:54.199
<v Speaker 11>So I'll just bring up a little This is kind

2248
01:57:54.239 --> 01:57:56.760
<v Speaker 11>of a boy magic what you're talking about. It's very hard,

2249
01:57:57.119 --> 01:58:00.479
<v Speaker 11>it's very you know, it's very hermetic, like you're very

2250
01:58:00.520 --> 01:58:02.880
<v Speaker 11>like in the clear blue lightning.

2251
01:58:02.560 --> 01:58:03.159
<v Speaker 12>You could say.

2252
01:58:03.640 --> 01:58:07.199
<v Speaker 11>So that's that is like you're saying, he is kind

2253
01:58:07.239 --> 01:58:08.119
<v Speaker 11>of a mystic.

2254
01:58:08.680 --> 01:58:09.359
<v Speaker 12>Yeah he is.

2255
01:58:09.399 --> 01:58:12.000
<v Speaker 11>He's tuned into the numbers, but it's just boy magic

2256
01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:14.000
<v Speaker 11>because that's how he looks at it.

2257
01:58:14.079 --> 01:58:18.600
<v Speaker 12>Hard data. Women are more they are less dense.

2258
01:58:18.640 --> 01:58:20.720
<v Speaker 11>I've said this many times on the show, but they

2259
01:58:20.720 --> 01:58:24.039
<v Speaker 11>have a they're less dense than men. So they you

2260
01:58:24.079 --> 01:58:27.159
<v Speaker 11>guys need a little more finesse, a little more care.

2261
01:58:27.239 --> 01:58:30.760
<v Speaker 11>That's why the rituals, that's why the all the spiritual technologies.

2262
01:58:31.079 --> 01:58:33.319
<v Speaker 12>Men just kind of like need the know how and

2263
01:58:33.359 --> 01:58:34.760
<v Speaker 12>then we can kind of get there.

2264
01:58:35.880 --> 01:58:38.399
<v Speaker 11>Women kind of have to prepare themselves, but they can

2265
01:58:38.399 --> 01:58:41.039
<v Speaker 11>get there too. It's just it's all obviously I think

2266
01:58:41.039 --> 01:58:43.359
<v Speaker 11>of it as all like just consciousness, so you can

2267
01:58:43.359 --> 01:58:44.199
<v Speaker 11>get there if you want.

2268
01:58:44.279 --> 01:58:45.960
<v Speaker 12>It's just how you prepare yourself.

2269
01:58:46.000 --> 01:58:48.000
<v Speaker 11>But I thought that was really interesting because I think

2270
01:58:48.039 --> 01:58:50.439
<v Speaker 11>you're tapped into like he is a mystic, and I

2271
01:58:50.479 --> 01:58:52.199
<v Speaker 11>know a lot of people like this. They would not

2272
01:58:52.279 --> 01:58:55.640
<v Speaker 11>consider themselves occultists or mystics, but they have like a

2273
01:58:55.760 --> 01:58:58.560
<v Speaker 11>very keen analytical eye and analytical knowledge.

2274
01:58:58.560 --> 01:58:59.800
<v Speaker 12>Like Lisa is very much like this.

2275
01:58:59.840 --> 01:59:02.079
<v Speaker 11>I don't think she's like that dude at all, but

2276
01:59:03.079 --> 01:59:05.560
<v Speaker 11>she just it's a very if you have like a

2277
01:59:05.760 --> 01:59:09.039
<v Speaker 11>science that kind of brain, I think you're you are

2278
01:59:09.079 --> 01:59:12.439
<v Speaker 11>able to do it if you are open minded. And

2279
01:59:12.479 --> 01:59:17.560
<v Speaker 11>then my question was did Vampire the Masquerade the White

2280
01:59:17.600 --> 01:59:18.199
<v Speaker 11>Wolf game?

2281
01:59:18.920 --> 01:59:22.039
<v Speaker 12>Was that like really old fashioned by the time you

2282
01:59:22.479 --> 01:59:23.359
<v Speaker 12>were kind of in the.

2283
01:59:23.319 --> 01:59:26.960
<v Speaker 11>Scene or what did did you see it play kind

2284
01:59:26.960 --> 01:59:31.359
<v Speaker 11>of a role in how people you know, like the

2285
01:59:31.439 --> 01:59:34.279
<v Speaker 11>vampire balls and all of that, Like, yeah, familiar with

2286
01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:34.920
<v Speaker 11>that a little bit?

2287
01:59:35.319 --> 01:59:39.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, No, I think, I mean, I think you know,

2288
01:59:39.600 --> 01:59:43.920
<v Speaker 8>White Wolf games, whether it's tabletop or LARPing, are gonna

2289
01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:47.319
<v Speaker 8>that's a that's eternally popular, you know. I mean, I'm

2290
01:59:47.319 --> 01:59:50.159
<v Speaker 8>in a I'm in a VTM game right now. We

2291
01:59:50.199 --> 01:59:53.359
<v Speaker 8>haven't met for ages. We meet on zoom, but I

2292
01:59:53.399 --> 01:59:57.840
<v Speaker 8>am a big fan of White Wolf. I love role playing,

2293
01:59:57.880 --> 02:00:02.720
<v Speaker 8>mostly tabletop. I'm not big on LARPing. Surprisingly, I don't

2294
02:00:02.800 --> 02:00:04.800
<v Speaker 8>like people in real life, you know, to keep me

2295
02:00:04.840 --> 02:00:08.880
<v Speaker 8>away from them. But yeah, no, I think that the

2296
02:00:08.920 --> 02:00:13.920
<v Speaker 8>White Wolf universe definitely did seep into elements of the

2297
02:00:13.960 --> 02:00:15.840
<v Speaker 8>group that I was in. The biggest thing that I

2298
02:00:15.840 --> 02:00:17.960
<v Speaker 8>can think of. I'm glad you asked this question, actually,

2299
02:00:17.960 --> 02:00:20.520
<v Speaker 8>But the biggest way that I think it impacted some

2300
02:00:20.600 --> 02:00:24.239
<v Speaker 8>of the terminology from White Wolf games was creeping in

2301
02:00:25.039 --> 02:00:28.600
<v Speaker 8>to the way that the Vampire moderators interacted with us.

2302
02:00:29.359 --> 02:00:32.199
<v Speaker 8>And the biggest way that that happened was the idea

2303
02:00:32.279 --> 02:00:36.239
<v Speaker 8>of gules. If anyone's played like VTM or a White

2304
02:00:36.279 --> 02:00:41.399
<v Speaker 8>Wolf game, the ghule is a physically human, well a

2305
02:00:41.479 --> 02:00:44.800
<v Speaker 8>mostly physically human character that is the servant or the

2306
02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:48.399
<v Speaker 8>you know, thrall of a vampire character. So in the

2307
02:00:49.600 --> 02:00:53.319
<v Speaker 8>role playing game Vampire the Musquerade, your vampire character can

2308
02:00:53.920 --> 02:00:56.680
<v Speaker 8>give a human being a certain amount of blood and

2309
02:00:56.720 --> 02:00:59.880
<v Speaker 8>that character becomes kind of like your little mortal slave

2310
02:01:00.119 --> 02:01:01.800
<v Speaker 8>and you can go send them to do errands for

2311
02:01:01.840 --> 02:01:04.680
<v Speaker 8>you and do stuff during the day, pick up your

2312
02:01:05.079 --> 02:01:08.800
<v Speaker 8>dampile laundry, whatever does you need them to do. In

2313
02:01:09.119 --> 02:01:12.279
<v Speaker 8>the cult that I was in that idea started to

2314
02:01:12.319 --> 02:01:17.680
<v Speaker 8>really permeate. So the truly unhinged Kucku Banana is. Stuff

2315
02:01:17.680 --> 02:01:19.600
<v Speaker 8>that went on toward the end is that a bunch

2316
02:01:19.680 --> 02:01:21.800
<v Speaker 8>of us were told that we actually had vampire blood.

2317
02:01:22.079 --> 02:01:24.640
<v Speaker 8>We didn't remember getting the vampire blood because it was

2318
02:01:24.680 --> 02:01:28.399
<v Speaker 8>all happening while we were sleeping. But you know, the

2319
02:01:28.760 --> 02:01:31.800
<v Speaker 8>the vampires who ran this cult were supposedly coming to

2320
02:01:31.840 --> 02:01:34.560
<v Speaker 8>some of us in the night and giving us their blood,

2321
02:01:34.560 --> 02:01:37.880
<v Speaker 8>and we were becoming ghouls. So in the world of

2322
02:01:37.960 --> 02:01:41.640
<v Speaker 8>the cult, I was a ghoul and had vampire blood

2323
02:01:41.880 --> 02:01:44.039
<v Speaker 8>and was told that that's why I was so sick.

2324
02:01:44.079 --> 02:01:46.640
<v Speaker 8>It turns out that I have a chronic illness, that's

2325
02:01:46.640 --> 02:01:49.800
<v Speaker 8>why I'm so sick, but I was told it was

2326
02:01:49.840 --> 02:01:50.960
<v Speaker 8>vampire blood. So there you go.

2327
02:01:52.000 --> 02:01:55.119
<v Speaker 11>Well that's really interesting so us because Nicholas to Beer,

2328
02:01:55.199 --> 02:01:57.560
<v Speaker 11>I'm not sure if you're familiar with him, but yeah,

2329
02:01:58.199 --> 02:02:00.960
<v Speaker 11>like the I think is the thing is the Temple

2330
02:02:01.000 --> 02:02:03.399
<v Speaker 11>of Blood in the Order of the Dragon, and like

2331
02:02:03.479 --> 02:02:06.199
<v Speaker 11>everyone knows, he's like really sick though, and like that

2332
02:02:06.319 --> 02:02:09.239
<v Speaker 11>whole group is quite weird and very extreme.

2333
02:02:09.800 --> 02:02:11.119
<v Speaker 12>But they they.

2334
02:02:10.960 --> 02:02:14.319
<v Speaker 11>Talk about like these very ideas that you're talking about,

2335
02:02:14.479 --> 02:02:17.960
<v Speaker 11>Like they think they are actually like immortal vampires, and.

2336
02:02:17.840 --> 02:02:20.479
<v Speaker 12>They do feed people their blood unwittingly.

2337
02:02:20.840 --> 02:02:23.680
<v Speaker 11>So I just think that that's very fascinating that they're

2338
02:02:23.720 --> 02:02:29.439
<v Speaker 11>borrowing this kind of very extreme you know, Luciferian ish.

2339
02:02:29.680 --> 02:02:33.399
<v Speaker 11>I'm not sure on their whole ideology, but yeah, very

2340
02:02:33.439 --> 02:02:42.760
<v Speaker 11>interesting blood. Yeah, they give people their own blood unwittingly

2341
02:02:43.039 --> 02:02:47.439
<v Speaker 11>in food and drinks, and they say it's to improve though,

2342
02:02:47.479 --> 02:02:50.399
<v Speaker 11>because they think they're like pure bloodline. Like that's Nicholas

2343
02:02:50.439 --> 02:02:54.520
<v Speaker 11>Severer's like whole thing. He thinks he's like the Gray Arian.

2344
02:02:55.079 --> 02:02:57.239
<v Speaker 11>I don't know, he thinks he's like good Like he

2345
02:02:57.880 --> 02:03:00.000
<v Speaker 11>just thinks he's like pure descendant of whatever.

2346
02:03:00.600 --> 02:03:01.279
<v Speaker 2>And so it's.

2347
02:03:01.199 --> 02:03:03.399
<v Speaker 3>Interesting because I've seen that in the plotline of a

2348
02:03:03.439 --> 02:03:08.560
<v Speaker 3>film recently called The Golden Child.

2349
02:03:08.640 --> 02:03:13.840
<v Speaker 4>Were you like Eddie Murphy.

2350
02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:14.520
<v Speaker 6>Review of that on.

2351
02:03:16.800 --> 02:03:17.920
<v Speaker 2>It like the Oatmeal or whatever?

2352
02:03:17.960 --> 02:03:18.279
<v Speaker 8>That was?

2353
02:03:18.479 --> 02:03:21.119
<v Speaker 4>Love that show. It's in the oat meal. It's in

2354
02:03:21.159 --> 02:03:21.720
<v Speaker 4>the oatmeal.

2355
02:03:21.960 --> 02:03:24.199
<v Speaker 7>Hey, but I was going to see it reminds me

2356
02:03:24.319 --> 02:03:28.439
<v Speaker 7>of of mid Midnight Mass as well.

2357
02:03:29.640 --> 02:03:32.279
<v Speaker 5>That was from the Great Brotherhood of the North.

2358
02:03:32.399 --> 02:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>This is all very ancient, uh magic, So all of that,

2359
02:03:37.119 --> 02:03:40.439
<v Speaker 1>all of these things, yeah, but all that one.

2360
02:03:41.159 --> 02:03:42.359

2363
02:03:48.760 --> 02:03:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Just watched it too. That's that's good.

2364
02:03:50.640 --> 02:03:52.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I recently just watched it.

2365
02:03:52.159 --> 02:03:54.159
<v Speaker 7>I think the funniest part is when they go to

2366
02:03:54.279 --> 02:03:58.239
<v Speaker 7>like the uh to talk to the dragon Lady and he's.

2367
02:03:58.119 --> 02:04:01.079
<v Speaker 4>Like this is good to keep the up, and he's like,

2368
02:04:01.399 --> 02:04:02.760
<v Speaker 4>nothing wrong with my yang.

2369
02:04:06.640 --> 02:04:11.159
<v Speaker 7>Anyways, Anyways, I did I did want to say I

2370
02:04:11.239 --> 02:04:15.279
<v Speaker 7>played Magic the Gathering when I was a youngster and.

2371
02:04:15.640 --> 02:04:16.239
<v Speaker 8>The Great Game?

2372
02:04:17.079 --> 02:04:17.800
<v Speaker 4>Do you like that one?

2373
02:04:18.039 --> 02:04:20.680
<v Speaker 8>I'm not good at it because I can't math, but people,

2374
02:04:21.640 --> 02:04:21.960
<v Speaker 8>you know.

2375
02:04:23.119 --> 02:04:25.680
<v Speaker 4>I was going to say, though, you know, I started

2376
02:04:25.680 --> 02:04:26.399
<v Speaker 4>playing it when.

2377
02:04:26.279 --> 02:04:28.600
<v Speaker 7>I was around like sixteen or seventeen or something like that,

2378
02:04:28.640 --> 02:04:30.640
<v Speaker 7>and I used to go to like the conventions or

2379
02:04:31.159 --> 02:04:34.199
<v Speaker 7>whatever and play against other the tournaments and stuff. If

2380
02:04:34.239 --> 02:04:37.680
<v Speaker 7>somebody would have started a Magic the Gathering cult when

2381
02:04:37.720 --> 02:04:39.520
<v Speaker 7>I was at eight, I would have joined it.

2382
02:04:39.600 --> 02:04:50.119
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I think that's.

2383
02:04:45.640 --> 02:04:47.199
<v Speaker 8>Like I want to join a cult.

2384
02:04:49.279 --> 02:04:52.199
<v Speaker 7>I would do it just because, okay, because I was

2385
02:04:52.279 --> 02:04:54.920
<v Speaker 7>young and impressionable, and also I'm working on a cult

2386
02:04:55.039 --> 02:04:58.079
<v Speaker 7>series right now. It's called Into the CULTI Verse, and

2387
02:04:58.119 --> 02:05:01.399
<v Speaker 7>I want to join a cult, what it's all about.

2388
02:05:01.439 --> 02:05:03.560
<v Speaker 7>And then I'm going to report back the facts.

2389
02:05:03.720 --> 02:05:04.720
<v Speaker 2>And I don't.

2390
02:05:04.600 --> 02:05:06.359
<v Speaker 6>Recommend that they don't like you when you do that.

2391
02:05:06.880 --> 02:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty much like what I like that.

2392
02:05:09.239 --> 02:05:12.199
<v Speaker 7>Nobody will have me anyways, JJ. Unless you start a COLT,

2393
02:05:12.319 --> 02:05:13.239
<v Speaker 7>maybe you'll have me.

2394
02:05:14.119 --> 02:05:15.199
<v Speaker 5>You'll get a roper money.

2395
02:05:15.199 --> 02:05:17.439
<v Speaker 6>The mormers will take you.

2396
02:05:17.760 --> 02:05:18.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to pay.

2397
02:05:19.000 --> 02:05:20.479
<v Speaker 2>You got to go down to Brazil and go to

2398
02:05:20.520 --> 02:05:23.039
<v Speaker 2>the what's that one that we keep talking about, JJ,

2399
02:05:23.119 --> 02:05:25.359
<v Speaker 2>that we got to cover one day?

2400
02:05:25.880 --> 02:05:28.439
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and the eye is saturd It was called.

2401
02:05:29.920 --> 02:05:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Is some wild one? Yeah, yeah, some ship like that, Joey.

2402
02:05:33.479 --> 02:05:35.680
<v Speaker 3>You can sign a billion year contract with Scientology if

2403
02:05:35.680 --> 02:05:36.479
<v Speaker 3>you want to do a COLT.

2404
02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:40.800
<v Speaker 6>It's only a billion years. I think that's going to

2405
02:05:41.039 --> 02:05:41.960
<v Speaker 6>only a billionaires.

2406
02:05:42.600 --> 02:05:44.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's going to be a noe for me.

2407
02:05:44.319 --> 02:05:44.560
<v Speaker 8>Dog.

2408
02:05:44.760 --> 02:05:47.760
<v Speaker 7>But the thing is, I would like to join like

2409
02:05:47.840 --> 02:05:50.039
<v Speaker 7>a cult temporarily, like.

2410
02:05:50.000 --> 02:05:52.399
<v Speaker 6>A friend of your cold than that, like just to

2411
02:05:52.439 --> 02:05:53.359
<v Speaker 6>go to a couple.

2412
02:05:53.039 --> 02:05:56.399
<v Speaker 7>Of crock pot lunches and then just you know, take

2413
02:05:56.479 --> 02:06:00.920
<v Speaker 7>some notes down and just you know, investigated INVESTI guys

2414
02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:04.720
<v Speaker 7>a little bit and then just be out. But anyways,

2415
02:06:04.760 --> 02:06:07.560
<v Speaker 7>I think if you have enough passion behind something, and

2416
02:06:07.600 --> 02:06:10.560
<v Speaker 7>you're involved with something enough, it would be easy to

2417
02:06:10.840 --> 02:06:13.680
<v Speaker 7>become involved in like a club or a group where

2418
02:06:14.119 --> 02:06:16.479
<v Speaker 7>what eventually ends up becoming a cult.

2419
02:06:16.560 --> 02:06:18.039
<v Speaker 4>Because I mean.

2420
02:06:17.920 --> 02:06:21.199
<v Speaker 7>I was stealing Magic the Gathering cards from Walmart and

2421
02:06:21.279 --> 02:06:23.640
<v Speaker 7>just like stuffing my bra with them and shoving them

2422
02:06:23.640 --> 02:06:24.359
<v Speaker 7>down my pants.

2423
02:06:24.399 --> 02:06:25.840
<v Speaker 4>I was obsessed with it.

2424
02:06:26.640 --> 02:06:29.520
<v Speaker 7>I was indeed, man, that is magic.

2425
02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:47.079
<v Speaker 11>Magic the Gathering is definitely there's definitely stick. Oh I think, yeah.

2426
02:06:42.399 --> 02:06:45.000
<v Speaker 7>I mean, yeah, I agree, jin, I think it gets

2427
02:06:45.039 --> 02:06:47.479
<v Speaker 7>a hold of your mind for sure, because I became

2428
02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:49.399
<v Speaker 7>completely obsessed with it.

2429
02:06:49.479 --> 02:06:51.560
<v Speaker 4>I had the video game.

2430
02:06:51.479 --> 02:06:54.520
<v Speaker 7>I met people in real life and played it. I

2431
02:06:54.520 --> 02:06:57.239
<v Speaker 7>mean I did, I did all of it. I mean,

2432
02:06:57.560 --> 02:06:59.920
<v Speaker 7>but the thing I grew out of it. But I

2433
02:07:00.000 --> 02:07:02.479
<v Speaker 7>I feel like some of this stuff, like they set

2434
02:07:02.560 --> 02:07:04.680
<v Speaker 7>up these forums and stuff because a lot of people

2435
02:07:04.720 --> 02:07:09.760
<v Speaker 7>don't grow out of this. They they don't capture asking questions.

2436
02:07:09.880 --> 02:07:12.199
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, it's to capture your attention.

2437
02:07:12.439 --> 02:07:16.199
<v Speaker 11>Like for me, I was like, I'm more like identified

2438
02:07:16.199 --> 02:07:18.760
<v Speaker 11>with some of what Celeste was saying, because like I am,

2439
02:07:19.000 --> 02:07:21.880
<v Speaker 11>I'm goth a little bit like not full. But yeah,

2440
02:07:21.920 --> 02:07:25.399
<v Speaker 11>I was always adjacent to that subculture or whatever.

2441
02:07:25.720 --> 02:07:26.520
<v Speaker 12>I like magic.

2442
02:07:26.600 --> 02:07:29.039
<v Speaker 11>I was never into vampires, but I do like magic

2443
02:07:29.039 --> 02:07:31.720
<v Speaker 11>because I was always interested in i't caull things. So

2444
02:07:32.000 --> 02:07:34.680
<v Speaker 11>it's always to draw your attention, like who, like, what

2445
02:07:34.720 --> 02:07:37.520
<v Speaker 11>consciousness are you going to capture with what story?

2446
02:07:38.159 --> 02:07:40.359
<v Speaker 12>So I've read all the Anne Reichs books. I didn't

2447
02:07:40.359 --> 02:07:42.039
<v Speaker 12>mind them, but it wasn't it's not going to be

2448
02:07:42.079 --> 02:07:45.119
<v Speaker 12>something that I'm It wasn't the capture the thing that

2449
02:07:45.199 --> 02:07:48.920
<v Speaker 12>captured me. So you were captured by magic the gathering.

2450
02:07:49.159 --> 02:07:52.760
<v Speaker 12>Heidi was obviously born a Mormon, JJ obviously became a Mormon.

2451
02:07:52.840 --> 02:07:54.960
<v Speaker 12>Nick was captured by the Oto. I'm not saying in

2452
02:07:54.960 --> 02:07:55.880
<v Speaker 12>a negative way.

2453
02:07:56.520 --> 02:08:00.239
<v Speaker 11>Just we all everyone here kind of proved is that

2454
02:08:00.319 --> 02:08:03.720
<v Speaker 11>the real American religion is actually a little weird, a

2455
02:08:03.760 --> 02:08:07.640
<v Speaker 11>little magin role and like a lot of like what

2456
02:08:07.880 --> 02:08:11.000
<v Speaker 11>you think individualistic in a way.

2457
02:08:12.159 --> 02:08:16.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I mean I think that's very well said. Yeah,

2458
02:08:16.479 --> 02:08:18.600
<v Speaker 4>very well said. Definitely.

2459
02:08:20.960 --> 02:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. A lot of aliens that is interesting that does

2460
02:08:25.600 --> 02:08:26.239
<v Speaker 2>show up on it.

2461
02:08:28.520 --> 02:08:30.640
<v Speaker 8>It's aliens all the way down at the end of

2462
02:08:30.640 --> 02:08:33.279
<v Speaker 8>the day.

2463
02:08:33.199 --> 02:08:34.439
<v Speaker 5>It's aliens and women.

2464
02:08:34.720 --> 02:08:37.560
<v Speaker 8>It's ultra terrestrial women all the way down there.

2465
02:08:38.239 --> 02:08:39.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

2466
02:08:40.640 --> 02:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Uh go, probably about another like ten minutes if anybody

2467
02:08:43.640 --> 02:08:46.399
<v Speaker 2>else has any more questions. I know I meant typed

2468
02:08:46.399 --> 02:08:47.840
<v Speaker 2>in the chat. I wanted to wrap it up, like

2469
02:08:47.920 --> 02:08:48.279
<v Speaker 2>not yet.

2470
02:08:49.920 --> 02:08:50.960
<v Speaker 8>I know everyone went quiet.

2471
02:08:51.199 --> 02:08:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I know, yeah, because they're probably like.

2472
02:08:54.159 --> 02:08:55.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm long winded.

2473
02:08:55.199 --> 02:08:57.920
<v Speaker 7>I didn't want to get started on something I couldn't stop.

2474
02:09:00.359 --> 02:09:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Jenny, you got another.

2475
02:09:01.399 --> 02:09:04.079
<v Speaker 12>Question, Yeah, i'llsoleus.

2476
02:09:04.159 --> 02:09:07.680
<v Speaker 11>The question is what are some of your most Obviously

2477
02:09:07.720 --> 02:09:09.439
<v Speaker 11>you don't want to I understand if you don't want

2478
02:09:09.479 --> 02:09:12.520
<v Speaker 11>to get into personal details of like your clients, But

2479
02:09:12.600 --> 02:09:14.840
<v Speaker 11>what are some of the more interesting cases that you

2480
02:09:14.880 --> 02:09:18.680
<v Speaker 11>would be willing to like share that you've done magically

2481
02:09:18.800 --> 02:09:19.439
<v Speaker 11>or for people?

2482
02:09:19.920 --> 02:09:20.159
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

2483
02:09:20.720 --> 02:09:25.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so I think, like you know, my clients, I

2484
02:09:25.760 --> 02:09:27.600
<v Speaker 8>get a lot of repeat clients, which I think is

2485
02:09:27.640 --> 02:09:30.399
<v Speaker 8>not always common in this industry. But I do have

2486
02:09:30.439 --> 02:09:32.640
<v Speaker 8>a really wonderful client base of people who kind of

2487
02:09:32.720 --> 02:09:35.000
<v Speaker 8>keep coming back either and not you know, not like

2488
02:09:35.079 --> 02:09:36.880
<v Speaker 8>keep coming back like every week they're blowing me up,

2489
02:09:36.920 --> 02:09:40.479
<v Speaker 8>but you know, keep coming back for inside or readings.

2490
02:09:40.560 --> 02:09:43.840
<v Speaker 8>Readings was a big bread and butter of my work

2491
02:09:43.880 --> 02:09:46.079
<v Speaker 8>for a long long time, and that's really all I did,

2492
02:09:46.520 --> 02:09:50.600
<v Speaker 8>and I've only branched out into doing sort of bespoke

2493
02:09:50.720 --> 02:09:54.560
<v Speaker 8>spell work bespoke ritual for people over the past three issuars.

2494
02:09:55.640 --> 02:09:58.119
<v Speaker 8>I didn't think that it was going to be as

2495
02:09:58.119 --> 02:10:00.720
<v Speaker 8>popular as it has been, but out that a lot

2496
02:10:00.720 --> 02:10:03.680
<v Speaker 8>of people have a lot of magic that they want

2497
02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:05.479
<v Speaker 8>to do that they either don't know how to do

2498
02:10:05.600 --> 02:10:07.960
<v Speaker 8>or they're too lazy to do themselves. So that is

2499
02:10:08.119 --> 02:10:11.319
<v Speaker 8>that is not my job. As far as the most interesting,

2500
02:10:12.439 --> 02:10:14.079
<v Speaker 8>I get a lot of the kind of standard stuff

2501
02:10:14.079 --> 02:10:16.680
<v Speaker 8>that you would imagine a lot of like my ex

2502
02:10:17.039 --> 02:10:19.119
<v Speaker 8>left and I want him back. I get a lot

2503
02:10:19.119 --> 02:10:22.039
<v Speaker 8>of you know, I want a promotion at my job,

2504
02:10:22.159 --> 02:10:23.560
<v Speaker 8>or I need a new job, and I don't know

2505
02:10:23.560 --> 02:10:27.359
<v Speaker 8>how to do that. But then I do get some

2506
02:10:27.359 --> 02:10:33.239
<v Speaker 8>sort of more unhinged requests. I guess I met a

2507
02:10:33.279 --> 02:10:37.319
<v Speaker 8>couple of people who needed it. Yeah, well, not that

2508
02:10:37.399 --> 02:10:40.159
<v Speaker 8>many homicidal people, and I have a system for dealing

2509
02:10:40.159 --> 02:10:43.840
<v Speaker 8>with that. But I do have people who want to,

2510
02:10:44.079 --> 02:10:47.439
<v Speaker 8>you know, either protect themselves from somebody or they need

2511
02:10:47.479 --> 02:10:53.279
<v Speaker 8>to exact some form of vengeance, shall we say. And

2512
02:10:53.359 --> 02:10:56.760
<v Speaker 8>one such case, which I will talk about without naming names,

2513
02:10:56.760 --> 02:10:59.760
<v Speaker 8>but I had a client and a friend a couple

2514
02:10:59.760 --> 02:11:03.399
<v Speaker 8>of year years ago who had been slighted by an

2515
02:11:03.399 --> 02:11:06.720
<v Speaker 8>individual and was upset about it, and so her whole

2516
02:11:06.720 --> 02:11:08.640
<v Speaker 8>thing was, you know, she was very upset, very distraught,

2517
02:11:08.640 --> 02:11:11.399
<v Speaker 8>and she said, I want this person to be punished.

2518
02:11:11.520 --> 02:11:14.239
<v Speaker 8>And I said, okay, well what kind of punishment are

2519
02:11:14.279 --> 02:11:16.520
<v Speaker 8>we talking about here, Like, let's have a conversation. And

2520
02:11:16.560 --> 02:11:19.399
<v Speaker 8>I always make sure that I do a divination first,

2521
02:11:19.479 --> 02:11:22.399
<v Speaker 8>because sometimes it's just not a good idea to go

2522
02:11:22.439 --> 02:11:26.159
<v Speaker 8>getting yourself involved in a situation like that. But she

2523
02:11:27.439 --> 02:11:30.399
<v Speaker 8>wanted him. He was he was a I kind of

2524
02:11:30.560 --> 02:11:32.479
<v Speaker 8>if he was like a YouTuber or like a twitch

2525
02:11:32.479 --> 02:11:34.520
<v Speaker 8>streamer or something like that, but he was like a

2526
02:11:34.600 --> 02:11:37.600
<v Speaker 8>mildly famous in his like little niche kind of guy.

2527
02:11:38.359 --> 02:11:41.640
<v Speaker 8>And she said, I really want him to lose this

2528
02:11:41.760 --> 02:11:45.520
<v Speaker 8>celebrity boxing match that he's about to be a part of.

2529
02:11:45.640 --> 02:11:48.640
<v Speaker 8>There was some sort of YouTube live streamed pay per

2530
02:11:48.760 --> 02:11:52.279
<v Speaker 8>view influencer boxing match going on, and she really wanted

2531
02:11:52.279 --> 02:11:54.439
<v Speaker 8>this guy to lose. And I thought, you know, well

2532
02:11:54.479 --> 02:11:56.920
<v Speaker 8>that's fairly innocent. I don't give it in about this guy.

2533
02:11:56.920 --> 02:11:58.399
<v Speaker 8>He seems like piece of shit, like, yeah, all right,

2534
02:11:58.479 --> 02:12:00.960
<v Speaker 8>let's just some magic for him to lose this boxing match.

2535
02:12:01.359 --> 02:12:03.079
<v Speaker 8>But then she kind of caveat it, and she said,

2536
02:12:03.119 --> 02:12:04.479
<v Speaker 8>but I also want him to get a little bit

2537
02:12:04.560 --> 02:12:07.960
<v Speaker 8>injured in the process. I was like, okay, so do

2538
02:12:08.039 --> 02:12:11.039
<v Speaker 8>the ritual, and I'll be honest with you, like my

2539
02:12:11.079 --> 02:12:13.640
<v Speaker 8>stuff usually does work. Sometimes it takes a little longer

2540
02:12:13.680 --> 02:12:15.960
<v Speaker 8>to work than I think it's going to, like timelines

2541
02:12:15.960 --> 02:12:18.640
<v Speaker 8>with magical weird. But I have a pretty good track

2542
02:12:18.720 --> 02:12:20.520
<v Speaker 8>record of my stuff working.

2543
02:12:21.680 --> 02:12:30.800
<v Speaker 13>But right right in the middle of the story, are

2544
02:12:30.800 --> 02:12:35.000
<v Speaker 13>we back, Yes, yes, okay, yeah, oh man, all.

2545
02:12:34.920 --> 02:12:37.079
<v Speaker 8>Right, either he was going to win this boxing match

2546
02:12:37.119 --> 02:12:38.279
<v Speaker 8>or he was not. You know, it was gonna it

2547
02:12:38.319 --> 02:12:41.159
<v Speaker 8>was gonna work, or it wasn't. And she was going

2548
02:12:41.239 --> 02:12:43.439
<v Speaker 8>to be watching live my client, and it was like,

2549
02:12:43.439 --> 02:12:45.800
<v Speaker 8>oh fuck if I if I screw the pooch on

2550
02:12:45.840 --> 02:12:47.680
<v Speaker 8>this one, it's going to be real bad for business.

2551
02:12:48.000 --> 02:12:52.880
<v Speaker 8>So anyway, I hear about it later and she was like,

2552
02:12:53.000 --> 02:12:55.399
<v Speaker 8>well he lost the match. I was like, oh, dope,

2553
02:12:55.479 --> 02:12:59.640
<v Speaker 8>that's awesome. Few she was like, yeah, and his bicep exploded,

2554
02:13:00.319 --> 02:13:03.640
<v Speaker 8>like the muscle, the muscle in his bicep. I guess,

2555
02:13:03.720 --> 02:13:07.880
<v Speaker 8>like I don't know, a tendon snapped or something, but

2556
02:13:07.960 --> 02:13:13.000
<v Speaker 8>he had like some crazy gnarly bicep injury. And so yeah,

2557
02:13:13.000 --> 02:13:15.479
<v Speaker 8>that that worked very successfully.

2558
02:13:19.800 --> 02:13:28.119
<v Speaker 7>That's will frozen again. I had a question to.

2559
02:13:28.680 --> 02:13:32.600
<v Speaker 9>Go, shoot, oh good, you froze again.

2560
02:13:32.720 --> 02:13:34.359
<v Speaker 4>So I wasn't sure if you're there.

2561
02:13:34.439 --> 02:13:36.119
<v Speaker 8>In and out, I don't know what's going on. I

2562
02:13:36.159 --> 02:13:38.560
<v Speaker 8>guess the spirit's like, that's enough of you, bitch, but

2563
02:13:38.640 --> 02:13:40.520
<v Speaker 8>go ahead, go ahead if you have a question.

2564
02:13:41.479 --> 02:13:43.319
<v Speaker 7>Well, I was just gonna say, do you ever get

2565
02:13:43.359 --> 02:13:49.720
<v Speaker 7>scared if like doing ritualism like this, like, does does

2566
02:13:50.079 --> 02:13:53.119
<v Speaker 7>anything negative come back on you or the person who

2567
02:13:53.199 --> 02:13:56.399
<v Speaker 7>requested it?

2568
02:13:56.439 --> 02:14:00.399
<v Speaker 8>In my experience, neither U and I think that because

2569
02:14:00.439 --> 02:14:05.119
<v Speaker 8>like so I'm not wicked, and only some schools of

2570
02:14:05.119 --> 02:14:08.560
<v Speaker 8>occultism really even believe in this idea of like, you know,

2571
02:14:09.119 --> 02:14:12.560
<v Speaker 8>rebound impact from a spell. You know, in the wick

2572
02:14:12.640 --> 02:14:14.760
<v Speaker 8>in religion, it's like, okay, anything you're going to put

2573
02:14:14.760 --> 02:14:17.319
<v Speaker 8>out there, you get back on you three times. And

2574
02:14:17.359 --> 02:14:20.279
<v Speaker 8>that's just not a tenet that everybody believes in. I

2575
02:14:20.319 --> 02:14:24.479
<v Speaker 8>do believe in energy moving around, and I while I

2576
02:14:24.520 --> 02:14:27.880
<v Speaker 8>don't really think that there's this sort of score sheet

2577
02:14:28.119 --> 02:14:30.640
<v Speaker 8>out there with some like supreme being being like, well,

2578
02:14:30.720 --> 02:14:32.840
<v Speaker 8>you did the bad things, so now you're going to

2579
02:14:32.880 --> 02:14:34.720
<v Speaker 8>get the bad thing. I don't think it's quite I mean,

2580
02:14:34.760 --> 02:14:37.199
<v Speaker 8>if it were like that, a lot of really bad

2581
02:14:37.199 --> 02:14:39.239
<v Speaker 8>people would be having really bad lives and they don't.

2582
02:14:39.640 --> 02:14:41.960
<v Speaker 8>So you know, proofs in the pudding there a lot.

2583
02:14:41.960 --> 02:14:44.479
<v Speaker 7>I have to agree with you on that because I've

2584
02:14:44.520 --> 02:14:49.520
<v Speaker 7>said several times you know, when you watch a movie,

2585
02:14:50.079 --> 02:14:52.239
<v Speaker 7>you always expect for the good guy to win in

2586
02:14:52.279 --> 02:14:55.079
<v Speaker 7>the end against evil, But in real life it's not

2587
02:14:55.239 --> 02:14:57.920
<v Speaker 7>like that. It's usually the bad guy wins in the end,

2588
02:14:58.159 --> 02:14:59.520
<v Speaker 7>and that's reality.

2589
02:15:00.239 --> 02:15:02.840
<v Speaker 4>And so if I hate.

2590
02:15:02.640 --> 02:15:05.119
<v Speaker 7>To say this, but it's like if if it was like,

2591
02:15:05.159 --> 02:15:07.439
<v Speaker 7>if you do something bad, something bad's going to happen

2592
02:15:07.479 --> 02:15:11.159
<v Speaker 7>to you, then I mean, all the satanic pedophiles that

2593
02:15:11.239 --> 02:15:14.680
<v Speaker 7>run our country would not be freaking billionaires live in

2594
02:15:15.199 --> 02:15:18.039
<v Speaker 7>you know, lavish lifestyles. So it's like the bad guy

2595
02:15:18.119 --> 02:15:20.359
<v Speaker 7>wins in the end. Sometimes I hate to say that,

2596
02:15:20.479 --> 02:15:21.680
<v Speaker 7>but that's what it seems like.

2597
02:15:22.159 --> 02:15:24.039
<v Speaker 8>Well, And it's also like if you guys, is in

2598
02:15:24.079 --> 02:15:26.039
<v Speaker 8>the show The Good Place where they try and like

2599
02:15:26.119 --> 02:15:29.319
<v Speaker 8>figure out what the moral like tally sheet would even

2600
02:15:29.359 --> 02:15:32.079
<v Speaker 8>look like and how you would calculate that. Like, I

2601
02:15:32.119 --> 02:15:34.920
<v Speaker 8>think I do believe that there is some kind of

2602
02:15:34.960 --> 02:15:36.840
<v Speaker 8>like I mean, I believe in God. I think that

2603
02:15:37.239 --> 02:15:42.399
<v Speaker 8>God is real, but I don't think that human morality

2604
02:15:42.399 --> 02:15:44.760
<v Speaker 8>and human action can be reduced to this sort of

2605
02:15:44.800 --> 02:15:47.680
<v Speaker 8>like easy checks and balances. Yes, no bad, good kind

2606
02:15:47.720 --> 02:15:51.640
<v Speaker 8>of thing. I do always do my own sort of

2607
02:15:51.640 --> 02:15:53.960
<v Speaker 8>soul searching and divination before I take a client on,

2608
02:15:54.600 --> 02:15:56.800
<v Speaker 8>before I decide, like am I going to do this work?

2609
02:15:57.079 --> 02:16:00.399
<v Speaker 8>But I to be honest, I will get energetic drained.

2610
02:16:00.439 --> 02:16:02.560
<v Speaker 8>I'll say that if I And that's regardless of the

2611
02:16:02.640 --> 02:16:04.399
<v Speaker 8>kind of work that I'm doing, whether it's like kind

2612
02:16:04.399 --> 02:16:07.039
<v Speaker 8>of texting and cursing, whether it's much more benevolent, like

2613
02:16:07.319 --> 02:16:09.640
<v Speaker 8>if I have a full three days of spell work,

2614
02:16:09.680 --> 02:16:11.079
<v Speaker 8>it will drain the funk out of me and I'll

2615
02:16:11.119 --> 02:16:14.239
<v Speaker 8>have to go to bed and sleep. But it doesn't

2616
02:16:15.199 --> 02:16:17.279
<v Speaker 8>I mean, touch Wood, you freaked me out. Now it's

2617
02:16:17.319 --> 02:16:19.079
<v Speaker 8>so far it hasn't like come and bit me in

2618
02:16:19.119 --> 02:16:24.039
<v Speaker 8>the ass yet I feel like the spirits are very

2619
02:16:24.239 --> 02:16:26.560
<v Speaker 8>present on this conversation and doing all sorts of things

2620
02:16:26.600 --> 02:16:29.159
<v Speaker 8>with the internet connections, so like, don't bite me in

2621
02:16:29.199 --> 02:16:34.000
<v Speaker 8>the ass, you know. But yeah, I know Robert's gonna

2622
02:16:34.000 --> 02:16:41.040
<v Speaker 8>come ert and now it's all remind me.

2623
02:16:41.120 --> 02:16:43.440
<v Speaker 7>Never to meet up with you and go bowling. I

2624
02:16:43.520 --> 02:16:46.520
<v Speaker 7>just don't want that energy in my life.

2625
02:16:48.680 --> 02:16:51.159
<v Speaker 6>Before worn don't don't ever take a picture of Robert

2626
02:16:51.200 --> 02:16:52.239
<v Speaker 6>the doll. He will curse you.

2627
02:16:54.159 --> 02:16:56.399
<v Speaker 4>I'm not going to do it. I'm never going to

2628
02:16:56.520 --> 02:16:56.840
<v Speaker 4>do it.

2629
02:16:57.360 --> 02:16:59.280
<v Speaker 8>I saw him, but I don't think. I don't think

2630
02:16:59.319 --> 02:17:00.879
<v Speaker 8>I took a picture. I think I was like, I'm

2631
02:17:00.879 --> 02:17:02.719
<v Speaker 8>gonna heed that morning, far.

2632
02:17:02.600 --> 02:17:07.120
<v Speaker 6>More wiser than I.

2633
02:17:07.120 --> 02:17:09.360
<v Speaker 7>I bet your I bet if you posted that picture,

2634
02:17:09.479 --> 02:17:11.399
<v Speaker 7>only got like ten likes on it too, and now

2635
02:17:11.399 --> 02:17:12.399
<v Speaker 7>you're cursed forever.

2636
02:17:13.399 --> 02:17:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I know, I don't really have any social media outside

2637
02:17:17.000 --> 02:17:19.360
<v Speaker 3>of my podcast, and this was probably twelve years ago.

2638
02:17:19.559 --> 02:17:21.959
<v Speaker 6>I'm not even sure what happened to the photo it was.

2639
02:17:22.000 --> 02:17:25.360
<v Speaker 4>You didn't even get a single like on it? JJ wow.

2640
02:17:26.319 --> 02:17:29.600
<v Speaker 3>And for what memory card? You know what I mean, Like,

2641
02:17:29.639 --> 02:17:31.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm not certainly ever left the actual memory card of

2642
02:17:31.600 --> 02:17:32.079
<v Speaker 3>the camera.

2643
02:17:35.799 --> 02:17:38.479
<v Speaker 8>That'sious. Robert takes his privacy.

2644
02:17:38.559 --> 02:17:42.159
<v Speaker 3>He's like, you don't have to print it, Apparently you

2645
02:17:42.159 --> 02:17:44.200
<v Speaker 3>just have to have it on, you know, on a

2646
02:17:44.239 --> 02:17:46.760
<v Speaker 3>memory card, apparently roding away in the back of a

2647
02:17:46.799 --> 02:17:47.520
<v Speaker 3>closet somewhere.

2648
02:17:47.520 --> 02:17:50.959
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure, hey, quick question. Something I heard that might

2649
02:17:51.000 --> 02:17:51.879
<v Speaker 4>be total bullshit.

2650
02:17:52.639 --> 02:17:54.760
<v Speaker 7>If you cut your hair on a full moon or

2651
02:17:54.799 --> 02:17:57.479
<v Speaker 7>something like, when are you you're only supposed to cut

2652
02:17:57.479 --> 02:17:58.680
<v Speaker 7>your hair on certain days?

2653
02:17:58.799 --> 02:18:01.079
<v Speaker 4>I have a hair coming up. This is per.

2654
02:18:01.360 --> 02:18:05.559
<v Speaker 11>Information waning Julia waning always on a waning.

2655

<v Speaker 8>Right now. I think it's I think it is wedding currently.

2657
02:18:14.280 --> 02:18:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Actually, oh, thank god, I need a good haircut.

2658
02:18:17.719 --> 02:18:17.959
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

2659
02:18:18.000 --> 02:18:20.920
<v Speaker 7>There you go saying it's been years since I've gotten

2660
02:18:20.920 --> 02:18:23.000
<v Speaker 7>a good haircut, and I feel like it's always because

2661
02:18:23.000 --> 02:18:24.280
<v Speaker 7>I get it cut at the wrong time.

2662
02:18:24.559 --> 02:18:26.639
<v Speaker 4>Somebody told me this last time. I said, every time

2663
02:18:26.680 --> 02:18:27.920
<v Speaker 4>I go, I get a shitty.

2664
02:18:27.559 --> 02:18:30.479
<v Speaker 7>Fucking haircut, and they said it's because you're only supposed

2665
02:18:30.520 --> 02:18:34.399
<v Speaker 7>to cut your hair on the waning moon. I didn't

2666
02:18:34.479 --> 02:18:37.840
<v Speaker 7>couldn't remember which one it was, but I just you know,

2667
02:18:37.879 --> 02:18:39.719
<v Speaker 7>if there's anything to that, I think I want to

2668
02:18:39.760 --> 02:18:40.520
<v Speaker 7>do it next time.

2669
02:18:40.920 --> 02:18:42.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, that's that's old.

2670

<v Speaker 2>Astrology, definitely, let us know how that goes.

2671
02:18:50.399 --> 02:18:53.159
<v Speaker 11>Never on, you never cut your hair on a dark moon,

2672
02:18:53.879 --> 02:18:56.479
<v Speaker 11>and usually what you do is you collect the.

2673
02:18:56.440 --> 02:18:57.360
<v Speaker 12>Hair and then you burn it.

2674
02:18:57.360 --> 02:18:59.479
<v Speaker 11>If you want to be really old school, you collect

2675
02:18:59.520 --> 02:19:01.719
<v Speaker 11>the hair offt like after they sweep it up.

2676
02:19:01.719 --> 02:19:03.840
<v Speaker 12>You don't want them take it any burning yourself.

2677
02:19:05.440 --> 02:19:09.719
<v Speaker 7>See what happened was Nick cut his hair on a

2678
02:19:09.799 --> 02:19:12.280
<v Speaker 7>dark moon and now never grow back.

2679
