36
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.479

37
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 8>Kentucky vampire cult years ago that I've long been interested

38
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 8>in these subjects. So JJ vance not the vice president,

39
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 8>it's Operation GCD. Definitely looking forward to the conversation Julia

42
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 5>Awesome, thank you very much. Yeah, And when I had

43
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 5>asked her to come on, I was like, I have

44
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 5>to ask him to come on, because I'm gonna be honest,

45
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 5>I really didn't entertain vampire cults too much until you

46
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 5>had me on and we talked about it. I was like, oh,

47
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 5>this is really interesting. So I got to get my

48
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 5>man off for this. So thank you, Like I had

49
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 5>told you, I think I said, you probably inspired this somehow,

50
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 5>so I appreciate it. And next, lest but not least,

87
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 5>idea like where you were in your life when this evens,

88
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.360
<v Speaker 5>Like how did you even come about to get get

89
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 5>into it, you know what I'm saying.

90
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure. So I joined this on. It was

91
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing started online, and those of you who's

92
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>seen the videos will kind of know the genesis of

93
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>the story. And the Internet of two thousand and three

94
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 1>was not the Internet of twenty twenty five. It was

95
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 1>different in many many ways. So I was in high

96
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>school at the time. I think I was fifteen. I

97
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>might have been sixteen, just but I was a kid,

98
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, living with my mom in Australia, which is

99
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>where I go up, and you know, I just was

100
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>not having a great time. I was a weird little

101
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 1>kid in a very very boring, suburban beach front kind

102
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of existence. I was a little goth kid, you know,

103
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and into weird music and listen to a lot of

104
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>like David Bowie and The Cure and yeah, you know,

105
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Jam and reading a lot of and Rise, reading a

106
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of other horror novels, and very into the paranormal

107
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and the occult even then. I've been into that since

108
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I was a teeny tiny little kid, reading books about

109
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 1>witches and ghosts and stuff. And I just didn't really

110
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>have a huge community around me of people in real

111
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 1>life I had friends, you know, like there are a

112
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 1>couple of people in the TikTok comments who are like,

113
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 1>did you ever think of making a friend? I was like,

114
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I had friends, Like, come on, now, I wasn't I

115
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a complete loser, but you know, I didn't have

116
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in real life that I was

117
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 1>able to vibe with about these bigger things that I

118
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>was into. And so, like a lot of people my age,

119
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 1>even older, you know, in that time, on the Internet,

120
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I went online and I looked for people who had

121
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>similar interests. I was very motivated, even at a young age.

122
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 1>You've been in my teens, you know, to find something more.

123
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I had a real sense that there was something that

124
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 1>existed outside of just paying your bills and working a

125
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>shitty job and you know, doing your algebra homework. I

126
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>had had some supernatural and paranormal experiences and some spiritual experiences,

127
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>and so I took to you know, ask Jeeves. I

128
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>guess was like free everybody using Google. So I asked Jeeves,

129
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, vampires, real vampires, real online, like, show me

130
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:45.079
<v Speaker 1>what you got, and came across all sults of strange

131
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and wonderful websites that existed again back in the old

132
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>days of the Internet. But one of the websites I

133
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>came across was this internet forum that claimed to be

134
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 1>run by Anne Rice's Vampires, which is ludicrous on first blush,

135
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the saga continues.

136
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 5>I love it.

137
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 9>So this is like a real cult that's still I

138
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 9>mean they still have it's still operating, and.

139
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a great question. What I can say is this,

140
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the people who ran this group definitely do still have

141
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>an online presence. And the presence that they have online

142
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 1>now you know, you can it's a URL that anybody

143
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>can type in, and anyone can go to this little

144
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 1>back end site, but you can't see anything. They have

145
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a form that you can fill out and you can say,

146
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, were you a current are you a current member,

147
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>where you a former member? Are you a total new

148
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>person to this whole thing? And you can request to

149
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>join and then they will or will not give you

150
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 1>the log in for the back end of their site.

151
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.159
<v Speaker 1>So it operates. I assume in some sense I have

152
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 1>not been part of it since I guess they kicked

153
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.519
<v Speaker 1>me out in twenty eleven. The last contact I had

154
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 1>with any of these people was twenty fourteen and it

155
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>did not go well. So I don't know how active

156
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it is behind the scenes, but yeah, it's still there.

157
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 9>Did they give names like my name is this? My

158
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 9>name is that? Like specific vampires from like the nos.

159
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so the kind of the setup of the whole group,

160
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and this was part of what when I first found

161
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>it made me think of like, oh, this is a

162
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 1>bunch of bullshit, you know, like I don't know, I'm

163
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>assuming we can swear on the occult regents and I'm

164
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>assumed cursing is signed. Sometimes like no, I'm like, I'm

165
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 1>from Australia. There's nothing I can do about that. But yeah,

166
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 1>so most internet forums fandom stuff, you know, and rice

167
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 1>or whatever fandom that you were looking at that existed

168
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>at the time. And still if you sign up, you're

169
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>signing up either as yourself or you're signing up and saying, hey,

170
00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I would love to join your like fune

171
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.320
<v Speaker 1>little role playing game. I would like to play the

172
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>role of Lastett. Here's my audition. And then everybody kind

173
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>of knows, all right, world writing collaboratively, it's a role

174
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 1>play in real life. I'm celess, but I'm going to

175
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>be like lestat on the internet. This group was very different.

176
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.159
<v Speaker 1>You were not allowed to audition, to play a role.

177
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>You were not allowed to go on there and be

178
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>like I am Nostratu and I'm here to drink a

179
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>beer with Lissette in the bar. You had to just

180
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>be you. But the moderators at the forum were the

181
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 1>vampires that we had all step We had a you know,

182
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 1>armand we had a Louis met a Marius. And those

183
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:33.960
<v Speaker 1>people never revealed their real names. They were in character

184
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.039
<v Speaker 1>all the time. And the part that really turned it

185
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>into kind of a cult like environment. And this went on,

186
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, for me eleven years, I think I was involved.

187
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Other people were involved for much much longer. But the

188
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 1>mosque never dropped at any point, and they really created

189
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 1>this environment where they were insisting we are the immortal vampires,

190
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>like in one way or another, we are who we

191
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 1>claim to be, and if you don't believe it, you know,

192
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>we're going to make your life very difficult. Like either

193
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>we're either you're just going to get the boot and

194
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 1>you're out of the club, or we're going to belittle

195
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 1>you and bully you and harass you until you come

196
00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 1>to the party. And there was a lot of like

197
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 1>manipulation that went into convincing us that this was.

198
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 5>The truth scientigence, right.

199
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if you know, Oh, I was just

200
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 6>going to say, I didn't know if you knew about

201
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.039
<v Speaker 6>some of the other ones. I actually interviewed an ex

202
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 6>vampire already. He was from another really yeah, and he

203
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 6>was in a guys one.

204
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 7>It was this guy.

205
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.639
<v Speaker 6>He's a famous guy and they do like shows and

206
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 6>you can go to the show and like they have

207
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 6>like graves and stuff like that, and like back about

208
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:48.600
<v Speaker 6>the same timeframe.

209
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.440
<v Speaker 7>I can't remember the guy's name that he was a part.

210
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Of the same Is this the Sanguinarian group. It's not,

211
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not. He has the best and is it?

212
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 7>I think it might be the best.

213
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, those well, I know, yeah, I know, I know

214
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>those folks a little bit.

215
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah. He sent me a whole bunch of literature. It

216
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 7>was super interesting.

217
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.120
<v Speaker 6>He sent me like the Temple of the Vampire books

218
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.000
<v Speaker 6>and stuff, and I read a whole bunch of it before.

219
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:14.320
<v Speaker 7>So fascinating to hear too.

220
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:20.159
<v Speaker 6>Like he was explaining about like the mental vampiism versus yeah.

221
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Energy stuff, and that's a funny thing about the group.

222
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I was in like even though at first blush you

223
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>look at it and you think, well, that's peyton ridiculous,

224
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, like this person on the internet forum is

225
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>not a fictional vampire written by Anne Rice. God Rest

226
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 1>your soul. But there was a lot of intersection with

227
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the groups that you just mentioned, you know, like what

228
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>they would call like the real vampire community, the sanguinarian community,

229
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 1>the other kin community, like all of these things kind

230
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of coalescing in a oddly frightening way.

231
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 4>Wow, it sounds like, go ahead, I know you're done.

232
00:12:59.399 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 4>How to go ahead?

233
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:00.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

234
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.200
<v Speaker 6>I was just gonna say, so, did you like get

235
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.159
<v Speaker 6>involved with the other ones? Do they all come together

236
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 6>and like meet at certain times or I mean.

237
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Not explicitly, I guess I think like with any weird subculture,

238
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the same way as the goth subculture

239
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 1>intersects with the vampire subculture, oftentimes just because you got

240
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:23.799
<v Speaker 1>some shared interests. There were definitely individual members of the

241
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.799
<v Speaker 1>group I was in, and possibly also moderators that did

242
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.559
<v Speaker 1>intersect with the sanguinarian community. It's a little convoluted, but

243
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.279
<v Speaker 1>very very much. Toward the end of my involvement with

244
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 1>the group, the people involved in running the group I

245
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>was in actually founded a like Vampire's Only facebook that

246
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 1>they call get Fanged, and the whole get Fanged group

247
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>was strictly for sanguinarians, So there was overlap. But to

248
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>my I mean, I never met anybody that I know

249
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a moderator who was like at any of

250
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 1>these events. I've gone to the events, though, like sometimes

251
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to an Endless Night ball in New Orleans

252
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I have my own thoughts on a lot

253
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 1>of those people, so I like to keep myself on

254
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the gently on the outside looking in. But yeah, there

255
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>was definitely I think there was probably a lot more

256
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 1>overlap than I even realize at this point.

257
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 7>Wow, okay, awesome, thank you.

258
00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you welcome, Celesti.

259
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.840
<v Speaker 8>You were saying, well, now I have a new question

260
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 8>also to add on there. I appreciate that what's the sanguinarian.

261
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:28.919
<v Speaker 4>What is this?

262
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>So the sanguinarian community, And again being not myself a

263
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 1>part of that community, I can only speak as a

264
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of fringe outsider. So if if anything up and

265
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody watches this, don't come from me, oh my gosh.

266
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:47.519
<v Speaker 1>But my understanding is that the sanguinarian community is a

267
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>vampire based subculture where the participants do drink human blood.

268
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>They believe in some sense that they are vampires or

269
00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 1>that they are and sometimes sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's

270
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>like it's an energy exchange, right, that's the purpose. So

271
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.919
<v Speaker 1>we're not talking like, you know, filling up an eight

272
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>pint glass and down in it.

273
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.480
<v Speaker 9>But some of them will blood eggs.

274
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, or you know, you'll have a donor and someone

275
00:15:14.519 --> 00:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, you'll have your your donor who up.

276
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 6>Yeah he said, it's all like they he was on

277
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:26.080
<v Speaker 6>each other. Yeah, and it has to be like all

278
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.120
<v Speaker 6>checked out and like yeah contracts.

279
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

280
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

281
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.519
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

282
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 1>It's because in a way it kind of overlaps. Again,

283
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it is not necessarily the kink scene, but it

284
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>intersects with the kink scene.

285
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.120
<v Speaker 5>So you have a way of saying, yeah, I can easily,

286
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:44.399
<v Speaker 5>I can even say that's like you'll sometimes wonder if

287
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:46.240
<v Speaker 5>that's why you get that kind of even within Like

288
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 5>I saw that with the ot O, how I could

289
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.279
<v Speaker 5>see how it does kind of connect to the kink

290
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:51.600
<v Speaker 5>scene in a way, And I think that's how you

291
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.879
<v Speaker 5>get some of the more weirder ones showing up.

292
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.559
<v Speaker 9>Yeah I'm not I'm not into Yeah, I'm not into

293
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 9>kink shaming or anything like that, but I mean, I

294
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 9>just it's the thought of it to me is just

295
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 9>like you have to wonder if there's not a bit

296
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 9>of like mental illness involved when you take it to

297
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:14.679
<v Speaker 9>that point.

298
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.559
<v Speaker 1>I think the body people there is. I mean, when

299
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you think about just the prevalence of mental illness generally,

300
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.919
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so many of us are not necessarily entirely

301
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.159
<v Speaker 1>well for various reasons, and there's a lot of trauma

302
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.759
<v Speaker 1>that brings people into communities like that. I mean, even

303
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 1>in the goth community, there's a lot of trauma at

304
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 1>play because you're an outsider, you've been an outside of

305
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>your whole life. You're not fitting into the mainstream. I

306
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>think the same is true of the wider occult community.

307
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.639
<v Speaker 1>And very sadly, you know, sometimes it's mild mental illness

308
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>where you just have not a great childhood and maybe

309
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:46.799
<v Speaker 1>you struggle with some stuff. And other times it's very

310
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:50.399
<v Speaker 1>severely unchecked mental illness and that is its own problem.

311
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.639
<v Speaker 9>But yeah, you're right, you know, yeah, like drinking blood

312
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 9>and starting a cult. Hey, I wouldn't mind starting a

313
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 9>cult if it was like like fake vamporism. I'm down

314
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 9>with that. Like, I could almost see myself getting involved

315
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 9>with fake vamporism cults because I grew up in the

316
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.079
<v Speaker 9>generation where it was like Twilight, and you know, it

317
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:17.160
<v Speaker 9>was very much kind of sensationalized, and I would have

318
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.279
<v Speaker 9>found myself like wanting to be a part of that stuff. Sure,

319
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.839
<v Speaker 9>But I was going to ask, oh, yeah, you go ahead, JJ.

320
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 8>Well, no, that's a great point. That's well, that's that's

321
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.319
<v Speaker 8>exactly I was going to ask. Less, was the impact

322
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 8>of these these errors of film and whatnot. It sounds

323
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.559
<v Speaker 8>like you joined this form around the time of the

324
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:36.240
<v Speaker 8>turn of the millennium.

325
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think I probably signed up around two thousand

326
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and three, so right about then.

327
00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, okay, so you saw the full scope of some

328
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:46.759
<v Speaker 8>of these films, Like Juliet just pointed out, like, did

329
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:48.720
<v Speaker 8>that impact this community at all?

330
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 4>All these films?

331
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think like the vampire boom that happened

332
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 1>in the early two thousands, Like that's what it felt

333
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.799
<v Speaker 1>like to me, much like we kind of had witchcraft

334
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.319
<v Speaker 1>boom a little bit in like twenty twenty because everybody

335
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>was stuck in their houses and so which talk became huge,

336
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, on TikTok. I think the early two thousands

337
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>had a little vampire boom for whatever reason. I think

338
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Twilight was a big part of that. For sure.

339
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 4>Julian was enjoying that.

340
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.720
<v Speaker 9>Huh dude, I would have joined it in a second

341
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 9>back in seventh grade. Yeah, because it's.

342
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Appealing, Like, there's something very, very universally appealing about the

343
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:27.440
<v Speaker 1>vampire as an archetype like it. You know, vampires if

344
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.119
<v Speaker 1>we don't count like Nosparatu, which is a whole mother matter,

345
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 1>but you know, they're they're sexy, and they're eternally young,

346
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're powerful, and you know, if you're especially in

347
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 1>the world of Anne Rice and Twilight honestly, but you know,

348
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're a vampire, you don't never see like a poor,

349
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>homeless vampire. You don't never see like a vampire that's

350
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:52.160
<v Speaker 1>like old and decrepit. In this in this new media incarnation,

351
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 1>what you see is like young and beautiful and intelligent

352
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:02.319
<v Speaker 1>and educated and philosophical and rich. Yeah, who doesn't if

353
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.759
<v Speaker 1>you're a sad little goth kid with no friends, who

354
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sit in your bedroom thinking like, damn, my life

355
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:15.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of sucks, be really cool if a vampire, Yeah.

356
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:16.920
<v Speaker 9>Pitt literally interview.

357
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 8>There was some big cultural films, cultural impact films, right,

358
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:24.839
<v Speaker 8>what was the vampire Yeah, Empire.

359
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Film Blade, also.

360
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:35.359
<v Speaker 5>Like the Amazing Yeah they.

361
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Were Yeah, the first one I liked, second one was

362
00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.960
<v Speaker 1>all right after that, let's not talk about it.

363
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.880
<v Speaker 9>I mean, going all the way back to the beginning

364
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 9>of time, they are mentioned of vampires. I actually just

365
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 9>covered this in a separate episode on another show. And

366
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.400
<v Speaker 9>uh they even say like the very first wife of Adam,

367
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:01.400
<v Speaker 9>her name was Lilith, that she she was even vampiric,

368
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:06.119
<v Speaker 9>kind of like an immortal being who sustained off of

369
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.599
<v Speaker 9>the life of other people or something like that. And

370
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.400
<v Speaker 9>I mean it goes all the way back to literally

371
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 9>the beginning of time, So there is an obsession with it.

372
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.799
<v Speaker 9>But I also think that the obsession comes from there's

373
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.440
<v Speaker 9>a little bit of truth in it, that there are

374
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.759
<v Speaker 9>beings out there. They were worshiped in the old days

375
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.839
<v Speaker 9>as like these gods of old and hey, somebody said

376
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.440
<v Speaker 9>you and me black nightclub vampire Cole, I'm down.

377
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 5>I would do it.

378
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.519
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, but see I would be a ginger goth in

379
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.079
<v Speaker 9>their exiled So nobody wants me at the party.

380
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:48.720
<v Speaker 7>Everybody loves Gingers. I don't know.

381
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:54.599
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, but yeah, there's like a sexiness to the vampire thing.

382
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 9>You never see like a crackheaded, you know vampire. That's

383
00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.720
<v Speaker 9>it's like not very resourceful. It's always My mom watched

384
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:05.839
<v Speaker 9>a show when I was growing up. It was called

385
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:09.440
<v Speaker 9>Dark Shadows. Yeah, I don't know if you're familiar with that.

386
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 9>I was obsessed with it. And then Tim Burton did

387
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 9>that with Johnny Depp. He made Johnny Depp barnabas Collins,

388
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 9>and I think that movie is incredible. I love it.

389
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.119
<v Speaker 9>But even that show in itself, I would have joined

390
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.559
<v Speaker 9>a Dark Shadows cult. I definitely would have. I loved it,

391
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.680
<v Speaker 9>loved it.

392
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 7>So did they have the literature for you?

393
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.680
<v Speaker 6>They're just like I was explaining, like he had books

394
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.160
<v Speaker 6>on books on books, like there was so many books.

395
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:42.359
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah with that vampire and stuff.

396
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And I think it's because like if if the

397
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.319
<v Speaker 1>and I got to go back now and watch the episode,

398
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 1>because that's how I'm like listened to the episod, that

399
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 1>sounds fascinating. But if it's the same group that I'm

400
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.079
<v Speaker 1>thinking of, parts of that sanguinary and community and like

401
00:21:57.119 --> 00:21:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the real vampire community, it does kind of cross into

402
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.039
<v Speaker 1>almost being a religion or like a you know, I mean,

403
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>not like a formal religion. But they have just like Felamidas,

404
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 1>they have holy books, they have like tenets, right, they

405
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 1>have rituals. Our group was not so much like that.

406
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 1>It was a lot more chaotic in free form. I mean,

407
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 1>if we had like a holy book. You know, it

408
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:22.759
<v Speaker 1>was Anne Riis's books and one thing that did one

409
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.799
<v Speaker 1>thing that did happen, which was a little weird, and

410
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, with time and age and maturity, I realized

411
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:32.079
<v Speaker 1>that it's not as like spooky inexplicable as I thought

412
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it was when I was sixteen. But they were able

413
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>to get a bunch of us advanced reader copies some

414
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of Anne's books before they were released, which at the time,

415
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the early two thousands, seemed really weird.

416
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 1>We were like, wow, how did this happen? And there

417
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:53.319
<v Speaker 1>was this whole kind of magical element to it, where

418
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Lestat on the forum had said, you know, I'm going

419
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:00.039
<v Speaker 1>to get you guys, some of you guys advanced a

420
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.519
<v Speaker 1>the book before it's been published, and there's going to

421
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.839
<v Speaker 1>be little clues and synchronicities and secrets hidden in there

422
00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:08.039
<v Speaker 1>to do with the forum and to do with you guys,

423
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 1>and some of you are going to be in the book,

424
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>it like under different names, and so we were all

425
00:23:13.319 --> 00:23:16.119
<v Speaker 1>kind of going through the book trying to figure it out.

426
00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:24.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, no, no structured tenets, you know, or laws

427
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.119
<v Speaker 1>aside from I guess the great law, which was you

428
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.640
<v Speaker 1>have to believe and if you don't believe, you're going

429
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to be on the outs.

430
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.960
<v Speaker 9>Well, I know that vampire novels are very are kind

431
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 9>of synonymous with like romance novels, but just kind of

432
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:46.960
<v Speaker 9>like that has like the vampire element, kind of like Twilight.

433
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.720
<v Speaker 9>But I know several serial killers who were inspired by

434
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:55.359
<v Speaker 9>romance novels. I mean, there is a serious obsession with it.

435
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.359
<v Speaker 9>Did they ever ask you, like extort you for money

436
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 9>or anything like that, like you can get this copy

437
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 9>if you pay X dollars or anything.

438
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Nothing super explicit. Somebody on TikTok asked me this as well.

439
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's because when you talk about when

440
00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you talk about cults, oftentimes people are like, well, where's

441
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the financial incentive? Because that is sort of typical as

442
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 1>the cult leader makes a lot of money. You know,

443
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.599
<v Speaker 1>you look at Keith Nary from nexim or you look

444
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>at like any of these assholes, they wind up riches kings.

445
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:32.599
<v Speaker 1>There were attempts made to monetize the group I was

446
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>in on and off, mostly through like subscriptions to special

447
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.839
<v Speaker 1>like forums or access to special archives. They had this

448
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:46.279
<v Speaker 1>whole very strange period of time where they ran a

449
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of sister website that was supposed to be a

450
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.920
<v Speaker 1>paranormal investigation group called the Talamasca. That's a big thing

451
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:55.039
<v Speaker 1>in n Ris's books. And they were like, oh, you

452
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:58.680
<v Speaker 1>can join up and join the Talamasca and research the paranormal,

453
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.359
<v Speaker 1>but you're going to have to pay you know, twenty

454
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>nine ninety nine a month or whatever it is. But

455
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 1>none of that really took off. And I think a

456
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 1>big part of the reason that it didn't is most

457
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.039
<v Speaker 1>of us on this site were young, like either actual

458
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:16.000
<v Speaker 1>minors like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or just in early college

459
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 1>still living with our parents. Like no one had very

460
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>deep pockets. So the monetization didn't go anywhere for them.

461
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:24.440
<v Speaker 1>But I think for them it was all about the

462
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.039
<v Speaker 1>attention and the power and the control.

463
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:32.799
<v Speaker 9>Did they ever show their faces.

464
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Nope, never, not to my knowledge. I mean, and this

465
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 1>is the other weird thing though, And I've been down

466
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the rabbit hole for the past week since. You know,

467
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I didn't intend to start telling this story on TikTok.

468
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 1>I was recovering from a sinus infection and I was

469
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:49.880
<v Speaker 1>looking at my TikTok account. No, man, I had a

470
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of engagement recently, like just yapping on the internet.

471
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 1>What if I just like, what if I just tell

472
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:57.599
<v Speaker 1>this cult story and see what happens? And then you know,

473
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm at collective League almost two million views of all

474
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the videos since then, which is it? Kind of it

475
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of slowed down on TikTok, but then on Instagram

476
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:13.480
<v Speaker 1>reels it went bananas. But yeah, like this idea of

477
00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:15.680
<v Speaker 1>like did they or did they not show their faces?

478
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I've been back in my archives, like archived a lot

479
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>of material back in the day while I was part

480
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of this group. I saved chat logs, I saved ale

481
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:25.279
<v Speaker 1>instant messenger logs.

482
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.319
<v Speaker 5>I have like, oh yeah, you can see like on

483
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 5>your on your Instagram, you even.

484
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 1>The web share. Yeah, screenshots of like what the website

485
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>used to look like and everything. So I was ruthless.

486
00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I was known for it at the time, and it

487
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.519
<v Speaker 1>made them very uncomfortable and probably continues to make them

488
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:44.400
<v Speaker 1>very uncomfortable.

489
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.279
<v Speaker 5>But I you know what you could probably do now

490
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.000
<v Speaker 5>that I'm just saying, if you ever wanted to, like,

491
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.640
<v Speaker 5>oh I wish I could go back, you could probably

492
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.359
<v Speaker 5>use the wayback machine and possibly find some of them.

493
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>There's some stuff there I looked. Yeah.

494
00:26:58.359 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

495
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Because the forum password protected and you had to have

496
00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:03.880
<v Speaker 1>an account to really see anything, you can't find anything

497
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:06.279
<v Speaker 1>much like with regard to that, but you can see

498
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 1>their old websites and stuff. It's Banana's. But regarding their faces,

499
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 1>there was so many layers of like bullshit and subterfuge

500
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 1>and obfuscation, and so there was never a moment when

501
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>like the person playing with stat who you know, who

502
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:26.519
<v Speaker 1>we thought was the stat. There was never a moment

503
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.920
<v Speaker 1>while Will Stat like turned the webcam on and was like, hey, MTV,

504
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>welcome to my crib. But there were members like regular

505
00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>people like me right, who I became friends with over

506
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.279
<v Speaker 1>the years, very close, stayed in these people's houses, you know,

507
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.839
<v Speaker 1>traveled with them, who in retrospect very likely were involved

508
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.880
<v Speaker 1>in some way. And over the past week I've been

509
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>talking to a lot of other members from the time

510
00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and we've been exchanging notes and putting the puzzle pieces together,

511
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 1>and something else shows just this is an exclusive scoop

512
00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:01.279
<v Speaker 1>for the occult rejects because I wasn't sure if I

513
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 1>was going to talk about this publicly, and I may

514
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>not on TikTok. But one of the ladies who probably

515
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:12.720
<v Speaker 1>started the whole cult, that's the working theory. She was

516
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 1>an older woman. She almost certainly founded the whole thing.

517
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:19.599
<v Speaker 1>She never admitted to it, but we've all been able to,

518
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:23.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, connect the dots. She actually died like seven

519
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:28.759
<v Speaker 1>days before I started making my videos, and I found

520
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:31.440
<v Speaker 1>that out yesterday. I found her obituary and I was like.

521
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.559
<v Speaker 9>Oh, dang, so she never saw your stuff?

522
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.640
<v Speaker 7>No, maybe not. Let you be free to do it,

523
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.400
<v Speaker 7>you know what I mean?

524
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you feel like kind of a spiritual strange little

525
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:48.359
<v Speaker 1>like crossing over, you know something? This lady left this

526
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>modal coil and somehow the the truth was set free.

527
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:54.759
<v Speaker 1>But that was weird, So I guess in theory, I

528
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:58.640
<v Speaker 1>have seen one of their faces just in a twenty

529
00:28:58.680 --> 00:29:01.960
<v Speaker 1>minute long memorial video, which was very surreal.

530
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.440
<v Speaker 9>Did she look notable.

531
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Or just like a little old lady? She really seventy

532
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:13.119
<v Speaker 1>five year old woman.

533
00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:17.000
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I was going to say, did she look like

534
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 9>she was eternally sixteen or anything?

535
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Very unfortunately we're all concerned to know she did not.

536
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:28.799
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, sorry, Celeste, I'm going to jump in really quick.

537
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I called as I was a little bit late.

538
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.240
<v Speaker 10>I apologize to everybody, and thank you Nick obviously for

539
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.799
<v Speaker 10>hosting me. But so this is very interesting to me.

540
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.440
<v Speaker 10>You're saying like a woman, uh, sort of founded the cult.

541
00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>And I know that.

542
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:44.839
<v Speaker 10>I've discussed this with Heidi, I've discussed this with JJ

543
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 10>and I'm sure Julia is familiar with it. But the

544
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 10>idea in process obviously Marianne Grimston and like this kind

545
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:55.200
<v Speaker 10>of like Mother Prophet Seer Love later. And my friend Ashley,

546
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:58.839
<v Speaker 10>who's in the chat right now, she is studying another

547
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.160
<v Speaker 10>calls out of North Caro Lina called the Word of

548
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker 10>Faith and they are called is also run by a woman,

549
00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 10>an older woman, and they call her the Mother Prophet.

550
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 10>So I was just wondering if you called her any

551
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 10>kind of particular titles other than her character.

552
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.359
<v Speaker 1>We never knew her identity for sure. Like the only

553
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>way I know that this woman almost certainly did found

554
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing is through like you know, almost twenty

555
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 1>years of various different people sleuthing and putting the pieces

556
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.039
<v Speaker 1>together and you know, adding it all up over the years.

557
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.559
<v Speaker 1>So this woman never came clean as herself and said, yeah,

558
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 1>it's me, I'm behind it. She never stepped, you know,

559
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.799
<v Speaker 1>out onto the stage and took any kind of responsibility

560
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:46.519
<v Speaker 1>that we would have given her a special name. She

561
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>was just always behind that smokes her. And she played Louis,

562
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:54.880
<v Speaker 1>who's like the sad boy, and Rice's character Brad Pitt. Yeah,

563
00:30:54.920 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Brad Pitt. She played Brad Pitt. But yeah, nos so

564
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>in her case. No. But I will say that even

565
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:07.119
<v Speaker 1>she did exist on the forum in this group as herself.

566
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>She did have a username and logged on and would

567
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.480
<v Speaker 1>tell people about you know, her gardening and her grandkids

568
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and her piano playing and stuff like that. She met

569
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:18.319
<v Speaker 1>some people in real life. I was not one of them,

570
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:20.799
<v Speaker 1>but she did go to meetups and so on. But

571
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Onie ever as herself, and the only way that she

572
00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:31.400
<v Speaker 1>was special as herself was that she claimed that she

573
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.279
<v Speaker 1>had met the vampires in real life and that she

574
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:36.400
<v Speaker 1>was a big part of why so many people came

575
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to believe because she was like, look, I'm at the time.

576
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:42.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, a sixty year old grandma. Why would I

577
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.480
<v Speaker 1>ally to you guys about any of this, Like, I'm

578
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:48.319
<v Speaker 1>an upstanding member of the community. I've worked the same

579
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>university job for forty years. I used to be an

580
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 1>opera singer. I'm a very normal person. But I'm telling

581
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you that vampire is real because I've met one. And

582
00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:58.839
<v Speaker 1>that was the only way that she was special. So

583
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.119
<v Speaker 1>she didn't get like a special time idle. No one

584
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:03.279
<v Speaker 1>gave her credit for running the soul operation. We really

585
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't find out until years later, but she did distinguish

586
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 1>herself insofar as she was the special one who had

587
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:13.359
<v Speaker 1>actually had this face to face contact that all of us,

588
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, desperately wanted.

589
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.960
<v Speaker 9>Basically was it was like she's seen them, She's telling

590
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.599
<v Speaker 9>you they're real. But I mean, I'm just surprised that

591
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:29.119
<v Speaker 9>they didn't try to, like say, if you paid X

592
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.559
<v Speaker 9>number dollars, you could get to meet one of them

593
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:35.279
<v Speaker 9>or something, or like, I'm surprised they didn't they didn't

594
00:32:35.319 --> 00:32:39.799
<v Speaker 9>try to like monetize that in some way, like I mean,

595
00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 9>I need one go ahead.

596
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, JJ.

597
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 4>No, that that's a great point.

598
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:45.960
<v Speaker 8>I was thinking the same thing what was their in game,

599
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.799
<v Speaker 8>but they're not trying to monetize it, Like what is

600
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.359
<v Speaker 8>their in game?

601
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:50.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, they make a lot of money on these balls

602
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:52.960
<v Speaker 6>she's talking about. You have to dress a certain way,

603
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.440
<v Speaker 6>you have to have everything to the utmost, like like

604
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:57.319
<v Speaker 6>a big deal.

605
00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And if they were in some way connected with

606
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.400
<v Speaker 1>which I don't know if they were or not. I mean,

607
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, again, before anyone's lawyers descend upon me, I'm

608
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.920
<v Speaker 1>definitely not saying that my group no were officially a

609
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>part of that, but there may have been other income streams.

610
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:18.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think also any attempts they made to monetize

611
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 1>just didn't work. I mean, their last ditch effort to

612
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:25.640
<v Speaker 1>monetize was around about twenty ten and they started this

613
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.960
<v Speaker 1>like vampire Facebook thing. It was. It was pretty well

614
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>made site. I wish I had screenshots of that, but

615
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I mean, it worked very well. They clearly

616
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.799
<v Speaker 1>had hired a web designer who really knew what they

617
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:37.960
<v Speaker 1>were doing, and they had a whole thing set up

618
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.599
<v Speaker 1>and they were trying to position that and launch it.

619
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:45.400
<v Speaker 1>As you know, this is the alternative Vampire's only Facebook,

620
00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:47.039
<v Speaker 1>and we're going to be rich off that. And I

621
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:51.440
<v Speaker 1>think it just didn't go anywhere. I don't know if

622
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that's because so many people in the community again just

623
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>like didn't really have the money and weren't that interested,

624
00:33:57.680 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 1>and but yeah, they didn't monetize it. I think what

625
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>they were in it for. I mean, I have a

626
00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:06.480
<v Speaker 1>couple of theories. Main theory is that these people were

627
00:34:06.519 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 1>just not well, especially this like older lady you know,

628
00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 1>who passed away recently. Not to speak ill of the dead,

629
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 1>but I just don't think that you could possibly be

630
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a well human being if you spend thirty plus years

631
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of your life as a fully grown adult with children

632
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:28.719
<v Speaker 1>and grandchildren and a job and a life lying to

633
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:31.639
<v Speaker 1>miners on the internet that you are a vampire or

634
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:33.599
<v Speaker 1>have met vampire something. It's not right in your head.

635
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:39.719
<v Speaker 1>You're not doing well. Yeah, so mental illness possibly, But

636
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:42.599
<v Speaker 1>I think it was attention. I think it was control.

637
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.719
<v Speaker 1>I think being able to convince a huge group of

638
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:52.079
<v Speaker 1>people to believe something bananas has a lot of appeal

639
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.400
<v Speaker 1>for a certain type of person, and so I think

640
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that was the payoff.

641
00:34:56.360 --> 00:35:01.039
<v Speaker 9>Really, how many people do you, like round about were

642
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.400
<v Speaker 9>involved in the group when you were When I was.

643
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:08.639
<v Speaker 1>A part of the group, there were about I want

644
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:12.559
<v Speaker 1>to say three or four hundred people like registered as aaing.

645
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:18.159
<v Speaker 9>That's pretty good, that's pretty good for Yeah, I mean

646
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:20.400
<v Speaker 9>not all of them are hustred or something.

647
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not all of them were like regularly active. So

648
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:26.400
<v Speaker 1>we had definitely that many people who were there and

649
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:28.800
<v Speaker 1>observing or whatever. I would say in terms of like

650
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:33.199
<v Speaker 1>active participating members probably close it about one hundred and fifty.

651
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 1>And then off that there was even smaller inner circle

652
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:41.119
<v Speaker 1>group of which I was unfortunately part, and that was

653
00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:44.159
<v Speaker 1>maybe like thirty people thirty thirty five people who were

654
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:46.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, going and meeting each other offline and going

655
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to meet up events and extremely invested in like the narrative.

656
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.320
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, pretty big group comparatively.

657
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 9>Did you just get rid of it with age or

658
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:01.760
<v Speaker 9>they use said they kicked you out or.

659
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah they kicked me out, which I would use to.

660
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 9>Send me proof and they were like, you know what,

661
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:10.000
<v Speaker 9>you're out of the group.

662
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Pretty much honestly, Yeah, I would love to say that

663
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.039
<v Speaker 1>I had just matured and become a more sensible person

664
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and walked away, but very sadly, no, they eroded my

665
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:25.000
<v Speaker 1>mental health over I mean, you know, other things were

666
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 1>also eroding my mental health and fairness. They're not completely responsible.

667
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:31.599
<v Speaker 1>But I was not doing well in my early twenties

668
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:36.079
<v Speaker 1>and my late teens, and I think for me, you know,

669
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of my peers who were in the same

670
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 1>group were able to take things a little bit more

671
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:45.519
<v Speaker 1>lightly and they were able to kind of participate. And yes,

672
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:48.400
<v Speaker 1>it was impacting them and changing the way they viewed

673
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:51.079
<v Speaker 1>the world, and they were invested, but they weren't quite

674
00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:54.480
<v Speaker 1>as invested as I was. You know, I was all

675
00:36:54.559 --> 00:37:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in to a damaging degree. But I also really really

676
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:07.960
<v Speaker 1>struggled to fully believe even though I was all in,

677
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.079
<v Speaker 1>even though I really wanted it to be true, I

678
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:14.360
<v Speaker 1>really struggled with just like being like, Okay, cool, yeah,

679
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 1>this is all real. Let's move let's move on with

680
00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:20.760
<v Speaker 1>with you know, whatever's going on. And so I think

681
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the doubt and the constantly looking for answers. You know,

682
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:26.519
<v Speaker 1>I was constantly I mean that's why I have files

683
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:29.199
<v Speaker 1>on my computer to this day with all the evidence.

684
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I was always talking to people, asking questions, trying to

685
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:37.119
<v Speaker 1>find out the truth. I would have conversations with the vampires,

686
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.599
<v Speaker 1>the moderators and say, look, there's been ten years, you

687
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:42.840
<v Speaker 1>guys can just tell me what's really going on? Like,

688
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.519
<v Speaker 1>we don't have to do we don't have to do

689
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.079
<v Speaker 1>all this. You know, if we're friends, we're friends, we've

690
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.800
<v Speaker 1>built a relationship over a decade, you'd just be real

691
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:54.280
<v Speaker 1>with me, and they wouldn't. And so then I took

692
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:56.639
<v Speaker 1>matters into my own hands to try and discover the

693
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:58.119
<v Speaker 1>truth whether they were going to tell me or not,

694
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:01.719
<v Speaker 1>which included tracking down he addresses and talking to people

695
00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:03.239
<v Speaker 1>that they didn't want me to talk to.

696
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:06.480
<v Speaker 9>I'll get you kicked out every time.

697
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Yes it will, Yes, it will. And so that's it,

698
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's why they booted me. Ultimately, was just having

699
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:17.199
<v Speaker 1>conversations with the wrong people, asking too many questions. And

700
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I think from their perspective, you know, not to not

701
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:22.719
<v Speaker 1>to be overly fair to a bunch of people who

702
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:27.559
<v Speaker 1>light and manipulated miners for years, but from their perspective,

703
00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I think it was like this. You know, I was

704
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:33.239
<v Speaker 1>making trouble. I was not just swallowing what they had

705
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 1>to tell me and sitting down quietly and dealing with it.

706
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:37.960
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't like that.

707
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:42.519
<v Speaker 7>So mm hmmm, yeah, no kidding, Hey, JJ, that sounds

708
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:43.440
<v Speaker 7>like the Mormons.

709
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:45.920
<v Speaker 4>I was going to say the exact same thing.

710
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:50.639
<v Speaker 8>That sounds like the same damn experience serious former Mormons.

711
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 4>I was thinking the same thing.

712
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:53.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and I.

713
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Feel like it's common to a lot of those groups, right, Like,

714
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.519
<v Speaker 1>but my roommate actually is a former Mormons, so I've

715
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I've heard Mormon stuff. But also, you know, scientology, you've

716
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>got the same thing. If you're out, you're out. That's it.

717
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.360
<v Speaker 1>You're a non person, and they're going to tell us,

718
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:13.880
<v Speaker 1>socialise about you, and turn other people against you. And

719
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.239
<v Speaker 1>this was much the same, just on a very smaller scale.

720
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:26.800
<v Speaker 8>Well, the scientologists are hiding what what are they hiding?

721
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I have theories.

722
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:34.280
<v Speaker 9>I'd rather be a part of the vampire cult than

723
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:39.559
<v Speaker 9>the Mormons, just just saying they're waiting. I'd much rather

724
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.079
<v Speaker 9>be part of a vampire cult. But I did have

725
00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:46.760
<v Speaker 9>a question for you. Have you ever watched the show

726
00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 9>or the movie called Catfish? Yeah, okay, so you know

727
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:57.119
<v Speaker 9>how like in the in the movie Catfish, like the

728
00:39:57.199 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 9>original Catfish story, he shows up and it's the one

729
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.159
<v Speaker 9>lady and she's playing like many many roles. I mean,

730
00:40:04.199 --> 00:40:08.079
<v Speaker 9>she's got like twenty Facebook accounts set up. She's got

731
00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:13.280
<v Speaker 9>like cousins and brothers and like moms and all this stuff,

732
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:17.559
<v Speaker 9>and it's just one lady, and you know, she had

733
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.960
<v Speaker 9>convinced this guy had completely fallen in love with her,

734
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.679
<v Speaker 9>and you know, showed up and she even like brought

735
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:26.880
<v Speaker 9>him in her house and was still trying to keep

736
00:40:26.920 --> 00:40:30.039
<v Speaker 9>the ruse up. So, I mean, the thing is, when

737
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.519
<v Speaker 9>you start digging in and you start trying to find

738
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.440
<v Speaker 9>answers because you feel like something's fishy, they will, at

739
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:42.159
<v Speaker 9>all costs try to keep the fantasy alive. Yeah, so

740
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.760
<v Speaker 9>they probably would have rather gotten rid of you than

741
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:48.599
<v Speaker 9>to just been like, hey, nobody's really a vampire here.

742
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:53.400
<v Speaker 9>We're busted. You know, They're gonna go down to the

743
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:57.360
<v Speaker 9>last moment getting people to think they're really vampires than

744
00:40:57.440 --> 00:40:59.840
<v Speaker 9>to just be like busted, you know what I mean?

745
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:03.159
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent. I remember watching Catfish for the first time.

746
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember when that came out, but it's going

747
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to have been sometime in the early two thousands, I think,

748
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:10.320
<v Speaker 1>And I remember watching it at the time and being

749
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:13.280
<v Speaker 1>like this is the same. Like I knew on some level,

750
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, what I am involved in is going

751
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.519
<v Speaker 1>to it is going to be this, And there was

752
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:26.039
<v Speaker 1>always sorry already so much, so much whispering behind the

753
00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:29.239
<v Speaker 1>scenes between those of us who were participants of this, saying,

754
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, oh, do you think that so and so

755
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:33.480
<v Speaker 1>is real? Do you think that this person's really a plant?

756
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:35.360
<v Speaker 1>You know? Is this a fake profile? Is that a

757
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:39.000
<v Speaker 1>fake profile? Like we were highly suspicious the whole time.

758
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I found out years later, actually, like a couple of

759
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.320
<v Speaker 1>years ago, I reconnected with some people who were part

760
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:48.599
<v Speaker 1>of this group, and one of these women said to me,

761
00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:50.320
<v Speaker 1>she was like, you know, you can tell me now,

762
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:53.679
<v Speaker 1>were you one of the vampires? I was like, bitch, no,

763
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:57.719
<v Speaker 1>my life had been so much easier if that had

764
00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:01.719
<v Speaker 1>been the truth. You know, that's the level of distrust

765
00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and like weirdness that it created between all of those Yeah.

766
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:11.480
<v Speaker 6>No, for sure, what are your theories not not legally

767
00:42:11.599 --> 00:42:15.119
<v Speaker 6>tendering any kind of uh aspect behind that?

768
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, we got to cover cover our legal basis

769
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:26.840
<v Speaker 1>my theories. So, as I said, you know, yesterday was

770
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a weird day because I found this lady's obituary and

771
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:32.760
<v Speaker 1>by adding certain things, I mean there were pictures in

772
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:35.239
<v Speaker 1>this lady's like oh bit slide show that I remember

773
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:36.840
<v Speaker 1>being posted to the forum. So I was like, oh,

774
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:40.280
<v Speaker 1>this is her? And then I ran it by a

775
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:42.400
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine who actually met this woman in real life.

776
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I said, just to confirm, is this is this? You know,

777
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:46.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to say her name, but is this

778
00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Bonnie fake name? Is this Bonnie from the forum who

779
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:53.920
<v Speaker 1>we all think probably played Louis? And my friend was like, well,

780
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that's her. So I guess theory one is it really

781
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:03.519
<v Speaker 1>was just a bunch of n Riis super fans who

782
00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:07.880
<v Speaker 1>were also not well in some way or had to

783
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.519
<v Speaker 1>void that they needed to fill, and they were filling

784
00:43:10.519 --> 00:43:16.599
<v Speaker 1>that by being highly manipulative and sketchy on the internet.

785
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:20.519
<v Speaker 1>That's that's the first and probably most likely theory. But

786
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I do have a kind of secondary theory which dovetails

787
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:28.079
<v Speaker 1>into the occult a little bit. You know, I'm a

788
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:30.480
<v Speaker 1>witch full time now, that's what I do as a job.

789
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.039
<v Speaker 1>In that line of work, I've seen a lot of

790
00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:36.400
<v Speaker 1>shit and gotten down a lot of rabbit holes and

791
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.159
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of research and reading. And you know

792
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the concept of the aggregor right where or like theater

793
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:46.559
<v Speaker 1>eggor tulpa thought form. It's got different names that people use,

794
00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:50.000
<v Speaker 1>but the idea that like a concentrated amount of belief

795
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:55.159
<v Speaker 1>and focus and sometimes meditation or magical practice can create

796
00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:00.400
<v Speaker 1>a being or a manifestation or like a fai that

797
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:04.320
<v Speaker 1>exists independently from the people who are putting that energy

798
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:06.599
<v Speaker 1>into it. There is a part of me that thinks

799
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.079
<v Speaker 1>that something like that was going on in this group,

800
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:13.760
<v Speaker 1>not by accident, but purposefully. And I say that because

801
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the people who were running this forum,

802
00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean Lastat especially, but some of the other moderators too,

803
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.039
<v Speaker 1>knew a lot about the occult. They were posting about Felima,

804
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:29.800
<v Speaker 1>they were posting about Ederer Rosen Tulpa's Tibetan Buddhism, and

805
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.599
<v Speaker 1>so that calls into question was there some other purpose

806
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:38.519
<v Speaker 1>for all this beyond just like Trala la la la

807
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:40.039
<v Speaker 1>la to pretend to be vampires.

808
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:40.360
<v Speaker 6>You know.

809
00:44:40.880 --> 00:44:43.719
<v Speaker 5>I was going to ask earlier because I was wondering,

810
00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:47.719
<v Speaker 5>like sometimes just like even if people just being manipulated

811
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.400
<v Speaker 5>and used, it might be an occultist this somewhere, And

812
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:52.880
<v Speaker 5>I was going to ask if they entertained the occult

813
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.760
<v Speaker 5>on this form. I just didn't get to asking it,

814
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:57.400
<v Speaker 5>So I guess I guess they didn't. They were open

815
00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:57.800
<v Speaker 5>about it.

816
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they were open about it. They were looking back,

817
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:06.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think teaching us in some ways. I

818
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:08.440
<v Speaker 1>mean a lot of us were kids. I was a kid,

819
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and I definitely learned about a lot of these occult

820
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:15.639
<v Speaker 1>topics and was sort of guided through how to do

821
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:20.039
<v Speaker 1>further research and learn more by these people. Dreams were

822
00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.079
<v Speaker 1>a huge part of what they did, like dreaming and

823
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:26.760
<v Speaker 1>dream work and lucid dreaming and dream walking each other

824
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:31.320
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. I first heard the term synchronicity

825
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:33.440
<v Speaker 1>on this forum and like read the works of Carl

826
00:45:33.559 --> 00:45:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Jung because of the forum. So yeah, actually, because.

827
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:45.960
<v Speaker 9>Go ahead, he was saying, Oh, I said they would

828
00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:48.599
<v Speaker 9>like get in your dreams. Is that what that means?

829
00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:49.199
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

830
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was a whole That was a whole other thing.

831
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:54.440
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, look, i am a full time professional

832
00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:56.599
<v Speaker 1>witch and I've experienced some weird shit, but I'm also

833
00:45:56.599 --> 00:45:58.599
<v Speaker 1>a skeptic. Like it's a weird line to draw, but

834
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:01.119
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of got Scully one shoulder and Molder on

835
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the other, you know. But there were some things that

836
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't really explain. There was some dream experiences. I've

837
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:10.519
<v Speaker 1>always been a lucid dreamer. I've always been a very

838
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:12.639
<v Speaker 1>vivid dreamer since I was a tiny little kid. But

839
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:15.079
<v Speaker 1>there were some things that happened while I was a

840
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:19.880
<v Speaker 1>part of this forum that were extremely strange. Waking up

841
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Lake with my body covered in bruises in places wouldn't

842
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:28.559
<v Speaker 1>have made sense for me to be like knocking myself around,

843
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:30.679
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah, weird stuff.

844
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:33.159
<v Speaker 4>Wow, that sounds pretty wild.

845
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.360
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I was piggyback on next tape, and I was

846
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:39.320
<v Speaker 8>curious too when you mentioned earlier Julia about the Lilith,

847
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:44.679
<v Speaker 8>the original vampire. So Michael Quina's wife, Lilith, when they

848
00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:47.159
<v Speaker 8>first started the temple A set, she starts this thing

849
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:49.280
<v Speaker 8>called I'm not sure if you're familiar with this list.

850
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:54.800
<v Speaker 4>The vampire order or the order of the Vampire. Yeah. Yeah,

851
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:55.719
<v Speaker 4>so there's some sort of.

852
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:59.679
<v Speaker 8>Mashed together of the Lima, like you were saying, and

853
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:01.639
<v Speaker 8>in some sort of vampire business.

854
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:03.639
<v Speaker 9>Oh my god.

855
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's like you see that a lot. I think,

856
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:09.519
<v Speaker 1>pardon me, I'm getting sloking over this cold. You see

857
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:12.719
<v Speaker 1>that a lot? I think with for whatever reason, Thelema

858
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.599
<v Speaker 1>just seems to like slot very nicely into just like

859
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:19.159
<v Speaker 1>the other belief systems, and it kind of but you know,

860
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.320
<v Speaker 1>you've seen that with the Tiffony and Oto, right, like

861
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that's HP Lovecraft mythology, but it's blended with Thelma and

862
00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:31.960
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I don't know whether there was something purposeful

863
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:35.400
<v Speaker 1>going on behind the scenes that was ramping up to

864
00:47:35.440 --> 00:47:38.199
<v Speaker 1>become more organized or more like official in some way.

865
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it did, and I just don't know about it.

866
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:41.079
<v Speaker 1>You know.

867
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.679
<v Speaker 10>Well, I have a little thing to sort of piggy

868
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:48.360
<v Speaker 10>back off JJ. Is that there is I don't know

869
00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:50.920
<v Speaker 10>if you're familiar with it's lust, but there is an order.

870
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.679
<v Speaker 2>It's called vampire Buddhism for vampires.

871
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, oh, I don't know.

872
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:59.000
<v Speaker 10>He So it's very larpaye and like a lot of

873
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:01.960
<v Speaker 10>of the we'll say, very online Buddhists, especially on Twitter,

874
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:05.400
<v Speaker 10>we all laugh at it. But there is something that

875
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:08.920
<v Speaker 10>you're you're right about, because we do talk a lot

876
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:11.639
<v Speaker 10>about like things like the Carnel Ground, and we have

877
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:17.039
<v Speaker 10>vampires and obviously like the kind of Babylon figure like

878
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:20.679
<v Speaker 10>the Dikinis, the Red Girls, a scarlet woman that's very

879
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:24.800
<v Speaker 10>prominent in Buddhism. So and they are sometimes considered vampires.

880
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.079
<v Speaker 10>But it's a conceptual. It's not literal. It's just it's

881
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:31.679
<v Speaker 10>a strictly conceptual. So I but I can understand if

882
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:35.119
<v Speaker 10>you were a more literalist person, like you're saying like

883
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.719
<v Speaker 10>you were taking sort of these books that are fictional,

884
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:41.480
<v Speaker 10>but you're sort of taking them out of their context

885
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:44.960
<v Speaker 10>and making them like a liturgical or religious text.

886
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:46.360
<v Speaker 2>This is very interesting.

887
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's and I think, you know, you

888
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:55.639
<v Speaker 1>bring up a really great point there too, because they're

889
00:48:56.199 --> 00:48:58.400
<v Speaker 1>in the in the tradition of witchcraft that I now practice.

890
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Let's enter it from that, I practice like a kind

891
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:08.199
<v Speaker 1>of hybrid tread craft, like traditional witchcraft blended with sort

892
00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of folk Catholicism, that sort of where my practice pulls.

893
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:14.440
<v Speaker 1>But in traditional witchcraft and in folkloric witchcraft, I mean

894
00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you're drawing on folk tales. You're drawing on groom noirs

895
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:23.280
<v Speaker 1>written by people, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years ago,

896
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:26.920
<v Speaker 1>which are in turn drawing on folk tales to formulate

897
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:29.960
<v Speaker 1>this sort of spiritual system in this magical practice. And

898
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.920
<v Speaker 1>so I think that the line between stories and reality

899
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:38.440
<v Speaker 1>is not quite as like firmly delineated as sometimes we

900
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:41.519
<v Speaker 1>think it is, especially if you're a magical practitioner, if

901
00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:46.000
<v Speaker 1>you're an occultist, like story and narrative are kind of

902
00:49:46.039 --> 00:49:50.559
<v Speaker 1>the driving force of an occult worldview, whether or not

903
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:56.079
<v Speaker 1>your story is you know, Crowley's writings or HP lovecraft

904
00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:59.320
<v Speaker 1>writings through the lens of Crowley, you know, or fairy

905
00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:03.320
<v Speaker 1>tales like it becomes the lens you are looking at

906
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the world through. And so I think you know, in

907
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:09.400
<v Speaker 1>your case you're talking about the vampire is not, of course,

908
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:11.159
<v Speaker 1>a literal thing that's going to go come to your

909
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 1>house and drink your blood in the middle of the night.

910
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:16.159
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a sort of metaphorical or symbolic kind

911
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:22.119
<v Speaker 1>of role. But I think sometimes there's more overlap in

912
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:25.760
<v Speaker 1>those things than we realize, if that makes sense.

913
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. I mean this is something that I Nick knows.

914
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:32.679
<v Speaker 10>I'm really fascinated by this idea of like parafiction and metafiction,

915
00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:36.639
<v Speaker 10>like looking at the exactly like what you said, like

916
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:40.239
<v Speaker 10>Crowley's writing, it'ssel full of fiction, but the people can't

917
00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:42.199
<v Speaker 10>really distinguish it. So there's a point where it doesn't

918
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:44.440
<v Speaker 10>even matter because it is kind of real.

919
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:46.280
<v Speaker 2>It is real if you believe it.

920
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmmmmm mm hm.

921
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:57.480
<v Speaker 5>So you did mention, Oh you said the lima was

922
00:50:57.519 --> 00:50:59.280
<v Speaker 5>like definitely, was that like more of a bigger thing

923
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:00.519
<v Speaker 5>that really.

924
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Like on the forum, not not explicitly they were putting

925
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:10.760
<v Speaker 1>ideas out there that were, you know, Belama adjacent, I

926
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:13.679
<v Speaker 1>would say, but they were mishmashing a lot of different

927
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.599
<v Speaker 1>spiritual concepts. There was just a real there seemed to

928
00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:19.679
<v Speaker 1>be for them, like for these ban Bio moderators, a

929
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:25.800
<v Speaker 1>real fascination and definitely a level of knowledge about topics

930
00:51:25.880 --> 00:51:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that definitely far exceeded what most of us are. What,

931
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:32.320
<v Speaker 1>like the average you on the street wouldn't know.

932
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:35.440
<v Speaker 5>Did you have any members on there that had like

933
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:38.039
<v Speaker 5>sigils that they've made of themselves, like as their logo

934
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:39.960
<v Speaker 5>and stuff like that.

935
00:51:40.760 --> 00:51:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember that off the top of my head,

936
00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:45.079
<v Speaker 1>but I'm sure we did. I mean, sigil magic. It

937
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:48.280
<v Speaker 1>did become yeah, it did become a yeah. And because

938
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:51.119
<v Speaker 1>I think I know where you're going with I think

939
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I know where you're going with that. Maybe I don't

940
00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:59.719
<v Speaker 1>recall it, but it wouldn't surprise me. And I think

941
00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:02.760
<v Speaker 1>if I'm right about where you're going with that, I

942
00:52:02.760 --> 00:52:04.800
<v Speaker 1>think the concept is the same. I mean, I think

943
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I've seen people in the chat saying, you know, energy vampires.

944
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that there were there was some kind of

945
00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:15.920
<v Speaker 1>energetic exchange happening, whether that whether you know, we use

946
00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:18.400
<v Speaker 1>the term energy vampire or a psychic vampire for just

947
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:20.599
<v Speaker 1>regular people in our lives who piss us off. Right,

948
00:52:20.760 --> 00:52:23.320
<v Speaker 1>You're like boss who sucks the air out of the

949
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:27.400
<v Speaker 1>room immediately he walks in. If you're talking about it

950
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:29.639
<v Speaker 1>in an occult context, you're talking about somebody who's doing

951
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:32.760
<v Speaker 1>it more purposefully. They're trying to suck that energy out

952
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of you to kind of benefit themselves. And I think

953
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that there was a level of like energy siphoning or

954
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:42.559
<v Speaker 1>energy like vamporism going on in that in that place,

955
00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I suspect purposefully. I don't remember sigils being a part

956
00:52:46.960 --> 00:52:50.159
<v Speaker 1>of it explicitly, but it also wouldn't surprise me if

957
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:50.760
<v Speaker 1>that were the case.

958
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Well did you.

959
00:52:56.800 --> 00:52:58.280
<v Speaker 9>I was just going to say, did you have any

960
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:01.480
<v Speaker 9>other supernatural experience while you were a part of that

961
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:04.280
<v Speaker 9>cole other than like the dreams and stuff?

962
00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Most of what I directly experienced was stuff that took

963
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:13.320
<v Speaker 1>place in like a a dream or dream adjacent space.

964
00:53:13.519 --> 00:53:17.159
<v Speaker 1>So and for that reason, you know, again, it's hard

965
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:20.159
<v Speaker 1>for me because I'm pretty pragmatic and skeptical, but I'm

966
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:22.960
<v Speaker 1>also somebody who like lives in this world and does

967
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:28.519
<v Speaker 1>this for a living, so I in my brain, I

968
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:32.119
<v Speaker 1>hold two realities to be true at once. One the

969
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:34.679
<v Speaker 1>brain is weird, and when we're asleep or hop asleep,

970
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:39.639
<v Speaker 1>it does also a weird shit. But how you're going

971
00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:41.639
<v Speaker 1>to interpret that weird shit that your brain is doing

972
00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:43.519
<v Speaker 1>is really going to depend what your worldview is. If

973
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:46.559
<v Speaker 1>you're a super like you know, my partner is extremely scientific.

974
00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:49.920
<v Speaker 1>He's like, he doesn't really He's fascinated by mysticism and

975
00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the occult, but he doesn't really ascribe to it. He's

976
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:54.840
<v Speaker 1>a very sort of science based guy. And so if

977
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:57.880
<v Speaker 1>he has a hypnagogic hallucination of something, he's waken up

978
00:53:57.880 --> 00:53:59.840
<v Speaker 1>from a dream and he sees, you know, a guy's

979
00:53:59.880 --> 00:54:01.519
<v Speaker 1>to in the corner of his room, he's just going

980
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:04.519
<v Speaker 1>to be like, my brain's doing something weird. If I

981
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:07.800
<v Speaker 1>see that, I'm going to say, my brain's doing something weird.

982
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:10.639
<v Speaker 1>But what is it trying to tell me? Is there

983
00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:13.280
<v Speaker 1>some you know, why is this happening today instead of

984
00:54:13.360 --> 00:54:15.679
<v Speaker 1>last week? Is there some message that I'm supposed to

985
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:18.360
<v Speaker 1>be taking from this thing that I'm seeing, Which I

986
00:54:18.400 --> 00:54:22.320
<v Speaker 1>realize i'm rambling now, But to your point, most of

987
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the things that I experienced in the cult that I

988
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:27.360
<v Speaker 1>would describe as in some way paranormal took place in

989
00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:31.480
<v Speaker 1>that kind of sphere. The biggest weirdest thing was that

990
00:54:31.519 --> 00:54:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I did have one night an experience where I had

991
00:54:35.880 --> 00:54:40.760
<v Speaker 1>been very frustrated with my lack of direct experience. All

992
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:44.280
<v Speaker 1>these other people, you know, this now dead seventy five

993
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:46.440
<v Speaker 1>year old woman, were walking around being like, oh, yeah,

994
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I meet the vampires all the time, and they send

995
00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:50.960
<v Speaker 1>me roses and take me out to lunch, and I'm like, bitch,

996
00:54:52.320 --> 00:54:55.199
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, Like where's my interaction? You know, I'm pissed.

997
00:54:56.800 --> 00:54:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, she looks like a tiny old woman and

998
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm a hot seventeen year old. What's going over? I

999
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:03.800
<v Speaker 1>can be his stuff?

1000
00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:07.400
<v Speaker 5>Where's my It's like a mindfucker, I can see that.

1001
00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:10.840
<v Speaker 9>Yeah right, yeah, so.

1002
00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:12.639
<v Speaker 1>I can going to bed that night and I'm like,

1003
00:55:12.719 --> 00:55:16.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of talking in my head to one

1004
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:19.800
<v Speaker 1>of these vampire moderators that I had a rapport with,

1005
00:55:20.639 --> 00:55:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and mentally, I'm just like listen, motherfucker, Like this has

1006
00:55:24.760 --> 00:55:27.400
<v Speaker 1>gone on long enough. We we have been talking back

1007
00:55:27.440 --> 00:55:29.039
<v Speaker 1>and forth for so long, and you've been playing these

1008
00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:30.760
<v Speaker 1>mind games with me, and you've been sending me these

1009
00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:35.119
<v Speaker 1>little dreams like show up, show up, motherfucker. I'm I

1010
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:38.800
<v Speaker 1>won't go crazy. So I full sleep and I wake

1011
00:55:38.880 --> 00:55:40.960
<v Speaker 1>up in the middle of the night, as as you

1012
00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:43.400
<v Speaker 1>do sometimes, and I'm rolling over and I stretch my

1013
00:55:43.480 --> 00:55:46.400
<v Speaker 1>legs out a nice, big, like sleepy time stretch, and

1014
00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:49.840
<v Speaker 1>my foot connects with a shape on the end of

1015
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:52.559
<v Speaker 1>my bed, like a like a heft, and I think

1016
00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:54.599
<v Speaker 1>a trust is just like one of my cats or something,

1017
00:55:55.400 --> 00:55:58.199
<v Speaker 1>and so I kind of opened my eyes blearly. I'm

1018
00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:00.679
<v Speaker 1>kind of feeling around this long and I realized that

1019
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:03.639
<v Speaker 1>it's too big to be a cat. And when I

1020
00:56:03.639 --> 00:56:05.639
<v Speaker 1>open my eyes, I see that it's a figure sitting

1021
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:09.360
<v Speaker 1>on the end of my bed. And it was very

1022
00:56:09.360 --> 00:56:12.079
<v Speaker 1>odd because I don't get sleep paralysis. I definitely do

1023
00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:15.760
<v Speaker 1>have hypnagogic hallucinations. I definitely do have lucid dreams, but

1024
00:56:15.800 --> 00:56:19.559
<v Speaker 1>I've never been asleep paralysis. Girly, So I'm seeing this

1025
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:22.480
<v Speaker 1>thing sitting at the end of my bed, and cognitively,

1026
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm realizing, this is what you asked for, this is

1027
00:56:25.400 --> 00:56:27.639
<v Speaker 1>what you wanted to happen, like this is your chance.

1028
00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:33.199
<v Speaker 1>But then my entire body is flooded with terror, just

1029
00:56:33.320 --> 00:56:36.320
<v Speaker 1>extreme terror, like what I hear people. When people describe

1030
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:39.280
<v Speaker 1>sleep paralysis, I assume that this is what they're experiencing,

1031
00:56:39.320 --> 00:56:43.039
<v Speaker 1>like it was that level of visceral just like And

1032
00:56:43.079 --> 00:56:50.679
<v Speaker 1>then as I'm experiencing this, suddenly it's almost like getting anesthesia.

1033
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm suddenly not afraid at all anymore. All the physical

1034
00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:56.599
<v Speaker 1>trappings of anxiety, like your heart rate going up and

1035
00:56:56.639 --> 00:56:59.800
<v Speaker 1>all of that, it just goes. And so again, cognitively,

1036
00:56:59.800 --> 00:57:02.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm no one'm scared, but I can't access the fear

1037
00:57:02.719 --> 00:57:06.639
<v Speaker 1>anymore either. And as I'm looking at all this happened. This,

1038
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:11.280
<v Speaker 1>this person is crawling up to bed toward me, and

1039
00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:15.400
<v Speaker 1>my brain is my brain is like, stay awake, stay awake,

1040
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.360
<v Speaker 1>stay awake, stay awake. You wanted this, don't go sleep

1041
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:23.360
<v Speaker 1>thro sep and I just fall asleep. And I woke

1042
00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:26.360
<v Speaker 1>up in the morning and my bedside light was on,

1043
00:57:26.440 --> 00:57:28.840
<v Speaker 1>which it had been off before I had gone to bed.

1044
00:57:28.960 --> 00:57:31.440
<v Speaker 1>My bedroom door is open, which it had been closed

1045
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:35.519
<v Speaker 1>before I went to bed, and I was like, well,

1046
00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think from memory, I logged onto the forum

1047
00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:40.960
<v Speaker 1>later that day, the group that I was a part of,

1048
00:57:41.119 --> 00:57:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and spoke to that moderator and he said some cryptic

1049
00:57:44.320 --> 00:57:48.599
<v Speaker 1>shit about you know, you know, how did you sleep

1050
00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:53.679
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, you know, which could have been just innocuous coincidence.

1051
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:56.159
<v Speaker 9>But at the time, like you didn't say anything about it.

1052
00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:58.639
<v Speaker 1>I think I had. I might have had a conversation

1053
00:57:58.719 --> 00:58:00.880
<v Speaker 1>with him about it, but it was it was one

1054
00:58:00.880 --> 00:58:02.719
<v Speaker 1>of those things too where you never wanted to like,

1055
00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you never wanted them to think that you were going crazy,

1056
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:08.920
<v Speaker 1>because if they thought you were going crazy and you

1057
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:10.639
<v Speaker 1>were like getting in way over your head, you were

1058
00:58:10.639 --> 00:58:12.320
<v Speaker 1>also going to get the boot, like if you were

1059
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:15.920
<v Speaker 1>too crazy. So you had to kind of play it gingerly.

1060
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:17.320
<v Speaker 1>And I think I, you know, I'm sure we had

1061
00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it back and forth about it where he said some

1062
00:58:20.320 --> 00:58:23.400
<v Speaker 1>cryptic shit and I read into it and was secretly panicking,

1063
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:26.480
<v Speaker 1>but I was just like, oh, yeah, it's looked fine.

1064
00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Why do you ask, you.

1065
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:32.280
<v Speaker 9>Know, right, he's basically saying like like cryptic shit like

1066
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.280
<v Speaker 9>nice Pj's last night, or right right, I hear you.

1067
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Say you're sleep bitch like whatever.

1068
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:40.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just have to say,

1069
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:44.760
<v Speaker 9>for me, if I experienced something like that, whether it

1070
00:58:44.840 --> 00:58:48.000
<v Speaker 9>was related to the form or not, I would perceive

1071
00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:51.239
<v Speaker 9>that it was, and also it would make me feel

1072
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:54.360
<v Speaker 9>like it was more real than ever. I don't know,

1073
00:58:54.639 --> 00:58:56.519
<v Speaker 9>you know, because you were awfully young when you were

1074
00:58:56.519 --> 00:58:59.159
<v Speaker 9>involved with this, and I know how I was at

1075
00:58:59.159 --> 00:59:01.480
<v Speaker 9>that age, and I feel like that would have been

1076
00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:04.320
<v Speaker 9>proof to me that these are this is like real

1077
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:08.440
<v Speaker 9>and I'm really involved with something here. And yeah, I

1078
00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:11.639
<v Speaker 9>can see how you got wrapped in that, because damn

1079
00:59:12.239 --> 00:59:13.559
<v Speaker 9>is all I got to say about that.

1080
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:18.039
<v Speaker 6>Did they try and like encourage you to have because

1081
00:59:18.039 --> 00:59:21.079
<v Speaker 6>in the other interview I did, he spoke a lot

1082
00:59:21.159 --> 00:59:26.320
<v Speaker 6>about dreams but also dream sexually connecting, and I would assume,

1083
00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:29.840
<v Speaker 6>I mean, like, if they're in this group and they're

1084
00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:31.519
<v Speaker 6>trying to harness energy, that's.

1085
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:32.880
<v Speaker 7>Like a really good way to do it.

1086
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:35.079
<v Speaker 5>That aspect.

1087
00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, et in the room. Yeah, yes, it was. Again,

1088
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.960
<v Speaker 1>it was one of those weird things where that was

1089
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.119
<v Speaker 1>a topic that was definitely broached. It was also because

1090
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:56.880
<v Speaker 1>it was also like still in a weird sense role play,

1091
00:59:57.000 --> 00:59:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Like it was still you know, these these people are

1092
00:59:59.719 --> 01:00:02.079
<v Speaker 1>these characters, and even though we really believe that they

1093
01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:04.840
<v Speaker 1>are these characters. We had a chat room, you know,

1094
01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:06.760
<v Speaker 1>a group chat room, and people would go in and

1095
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:08.960
<v Speaker 1>like write little scenes together. We had this whole thing

1096
01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:11.159
<v Speaker 1>where there was like a graveyard that we would all

1097
01:00:11.159 --> 01:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>go hang out in and write these little stories together.

1098
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>And multiple times over the history of my involvement with

1099
01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:21.519
<v Speaker 1>this group, various different members had you know, like cyber

1100
01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>sax with the moderators and things like that, and there

1101
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:28.039
<v Speaker 1>definitely were conversations about Oh, I'm going to come visit

1102
01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>you in your dreams. Nudge nudgewinkquink. You know, never really

1103
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>happened to me. Interestingly, I think I was way too

1104
01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>crazy pants and they were just like, oh, let's not

1105
01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>give her any more fuel for that fire. She believes enough,

1106
01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:48.639
<v Speaker 1>she's enough of a loose canon without us adding that

1107
01:00:48.679 --> 01:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to the mix. But one of the things that did

1108
01:00:50.320 --> 01:00:53.599
<v Speaker 1>occur in the in the group, which in rent I

1109
01:00:53.599 --> 01:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>mean it could never happen today, like somebody's parents would

1110
01:00:56.360 --> 01:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>be filing in lawsuit. There were kids were like thirteen

1111
01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:04.559
<v Speaker 1>and fourteen who these people were having these like cyber

1112
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>sex relationships with you know, yeah.

1113
01:01:09.280 --> 01:01:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Every cult's a sex cult.

1114
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>It's inevitable.

1115
01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:18.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, fourteen was the age right for Joseph too,

1116
01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:23.360
<v Speaker 6>so I mean, but really, honestly, if they're practicing a

1117
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:26.920
<v Speaker 6>cult magic, then they're they're going to know that, you know,

1118
01:01:27.199 --> 01:01:29.320
<v Speaker 6>especially if it's virginal hate to be weird.

1119
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:33.599
<v Speaker 7>That's some powerful magic, you know what.

1120
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:36.239
<v Speaker 9>I seen year old vamp sex.

1121
01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Right right, That's that's the that's the business that's going

1122
01:01:39.400 --> 01:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to make you young forever in one way or another,

1123
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>more imprisoned forever, you know if it we're twenty twenty five, right, Yeah.

1124
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:47.960
<v Speaker 5>Well that's why I had wanted to do it. I

1125
01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:49.679
<v Speaker 5>wanted to bring it up because I thought I could

1126
01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:52.440
<v Speaker 5>have been part of you know, like JJ was even

1127
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:54.360
<v Speaker 5>trying to this before, like what's what's their means? What

1128
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:56.880
<v Speaker 5>are they getting out of this? I was wondering if

1129
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:59.480
<v Speaker 5>there was some sort of yeah, if there was even

1130
01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:01.559
<v Speaker 5>just a hate saying it's just like LARPers, who are

1131
01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:04.880
<v Speaker 5>even just trying to get some online ass, you know, because.

1132
01:02:07.440 --> 01:02:09.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, send me a picture because.

1133
01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:10.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm thinking you're already.

1134
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:12.559
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

1135
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:14.840
<v Speaker 8>We've been talking about vampire cult here on the cult

1136
01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:19.880
<v Speaker 8>rejects across the United States, Mexico and now some Australia stuff.

1137
01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:22.159
<v Speaker 8>So is this the question we ask every other time

1138
01:02:22.280 --> 01:02:25.599
<v Speaker 8>is what's the is this like Australian mk ultro situations

1139
01:02:25.599 --> 01:02:26.320
<v Speaker 8>connected to this.

1140
01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:30.840
<v Speaker 4>Because that's what it seems like with the American Mexican versions.

1141
01:02:31.039 --> 01:02:35.960
<v Speaker 5>That is true. I forgot that we have covered those vampire.

1142
01:02:35.280 --> 01:02:39.199
<v Speaker 4>We talked a lot of vampire stuff somewhat unrelated.

1143
01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:41.880
<v Speaker 8>He played a vampire, but he then finds that money

1144
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:46.000
<v Speaker 8>to finance the sex cult stuff.

1145
01:02:51.840 --> 01:02:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean everybody in this group. I was one

1146
01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:56.719
<v Speaker 1>of the only Australian people, so everybody else was the

1147
01:02:56.840 --> 01:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>US base. Even kulture thing is interesting. I mean, I

1148
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>don't really believe this I will have yet, but like

1149
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:09.519
<v Speaker 1>in my in my decade plus to like ruminate on

1150
01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:12.559
<v Speaker 1>all the experiences and just let my galaxy brain like

1151
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:16.559
<v Speaker 1>ponder possibilities. There have been moments where I've been like

1152
01:03:17.800 --> 01:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>this psyop, like was this some sort of like government

1153
01:03:21.079 --> 01:03:25.239
<v Speaker 1>like CIA psychic recruitment technique? And then I'm like, no,

1154
01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you need to I don't even smoke weed, but if

1155
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:29.599
<v Speaker 1>I did, like, you need to stop, you need to

1156
01:03:29.599 --> 01:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>put it down. That's a little too kooky. But you know,

1157
01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the thing is that the universe and the

1158
01:03:36.400 --> 01:03:41.119
<v Speaker 1>world and the Internet for sure are much weirder than

1159
01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:42.599
<v Speaker 1>we think they are.

1160
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:43.000
<v Speaker 11>You know.

1161
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:46.559
<v Speaker 9>But I think you're on the right track because I

1162
01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:49.119
<v Speaker 9>think they set up these forums and stuff. Not saying

1163
01:03:49.159 --> 01:03:52.039
<v Speaker 9>anything about you because obviously you're a lovely person. Oh no,

1164
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:55.079
<v Speaker 9>of course, I think you look for levels of psychopathy

1165
01:03:55.159 --> 01:03:58.519
<v Speaker 9>and people. I think the QAnon thing should prove that

1166
01:03:58.639 --> 01:04:04.519
<v Speaker 9>to everyone. They weaponize these forums, They get into people's heads,

1167
01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:09.000
<v Speaker 9>they get them believe in stuff. They see what levels

1168
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:13.199
<v Speaker 9>they can push you to act out in reality, and

1169
01:04:13.280 --> 01:04:15.800
<v Speaker 9>so yeah, I mean I think you were part of one,

1170
01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:19.000
<v Speaker 9>but I think there's many, many, many diverse, different ones

1171
01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:21.360
<v Speaker 9>you can become a part of. And they look for

1172
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:25.480
<v Speaker 9>like people with levels of psychopathy that they can control

1173
01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:30.119
<v Speaker 9>and manipulate and essentially, you know, have them do things.

1174
01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you hit the name.

1175
01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:35.599
<v Speaker 4>I think they just want to study these study human behavior.

1176
01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I'm glad you said that.

1177
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you put brought up the QAnon thing though.

1178
01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why I have a one of my best friends

1179
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:49.199
<v Speaker 1>is a just got her PhD. And she's working in

1180
01:04:49.199 --> 01:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a research capacity, or was until very recently for reasons.

1181
01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:58.119
<v Speaker 1>But she's working on research to do with online extremism

1182
01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:04.039
<v Speaker 1>and you know how groups online can become a little

1183
01:05:04.119 --> 01:05:08.760
<v Speaker 1>dangerous for various reasons. She's been reading school shooter manifestos

1184
01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:10.599
<v Speaker 1>for the best better part of five years, and she's

1185
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:13.519
<v Speaker 1>very tired and very sad, as you can imagine. But

1186
01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>over the last seat week we were talking about this.

1187
01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>She's known about this part of my history for years,

1188
01:05:18.320 --> 01:05:19.719
<v Speaker 1>but she was like, you really need to read this

1189
01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>book by this woman who just published a nonfiction book

1190
01:05:23.960 --> 01:05:26.679
<v Speaker 1>about QAnon. And the book's called The Quiet Damage by

1191
01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Jesslin Cook. It's really really, really good. Highly recommend everybody

1192
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>read it. But it talks about what it looks like

1193
01:05:35.000 --> 01:05:38.159
<v Speaker 1>for regular people to get entangled in things like this,

1194
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:42.199
<v Speaker 1>entangled into communities and into belief systems that do completely

1195
01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:48.639
<v Speaker 1>change their outlook on life, but also have these overatching consequences,

1196
01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:52.039
<v Speaker 1>not just for their immediate families and their social groups,

1197
01:05:52.079 --> 01:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>but for you know, possibly the country, the world. And

1198
01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it's much more common when

1199
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:01.679
<v Speaker 1>we think, and honest, the example that people point to

1200
01:06:01.800 --> 01:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>was the real like oh boy, like that's the crazy

1201
01:06:04.400 --> 01:06:08.119
<v Speaker 1>the crazies, right, But there's a lot of groups like.

1202
01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:12.239
<v Speaker 9>That, and I was gonna say there was like varying

1203
01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:16.199
<v Speaker 9>degrees of it. There's somebody who's been in our chat

1204
01:06:16.440 --> 01:06:20.039
<v Speaker 9>the last couple of minutes. His name is Drew, and

1205
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:23.159
<v Speaker 9>I actually did a show with him before and we

1206
01:06:23.239 --> 01:06:27.119
<v Speaker 9>talked about the Hoover Dam and there was a guy

1207
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:30.159
<v Speaker 9>who got obsessed with QAnon and he got in his

1208
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:32.719
<v Speaker 9>car and drove it to the Hoover Dam and was

1209
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:34.920
<v Speaker 9>going to try to blow it up or something like that.

1210
01:06:34.960 --> 01:06:39.440
<v Speaker 9>I mean, it's it's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. People get

1211
01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:41.880
<v Speaker 9>obsessed with these things. But I have to say, though,

1212
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:46.480
<v Speaker 9>do you remember when my Space came out? All right,

1213
01:06:46.719 --> 01:06:49.639
<v Speaker 9>that was like the thing to do before Facebook, and

1214
01:06:49.679 --> 01:06:53.199
<v Speaker 9>you had like your top five friends or whatever. Put

1215
01:06:53.239 --> 01:06:54.400
<v Speaker 9>me you put a little.

1216
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:59.559
<v Speaker 1>On yourn if you took someone out of your top five. Yeah,

1217
01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that's a little better.

1218
01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:03.960
<v Speaker 9>Yes. I mean I was so into my Space when

1219
01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:08.440
<v Speaker 9>it first came out, and I didn't catfish. The movie

1220
01:07:08.480 --> 01:07:12.760
<v Speaker 9>had not come out yet, and there were several times

1221
01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:15.960
<v Speaker 9>I was catfished. And when I look back on it,

1222
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:19.559
<v Speaker 9>these profiles, they'd have like five pictures and they were

1223
01:07:19.599 --> 01:07:25.639
<v Speaker 9>all like, you know, like supermodel edited, like hot emo guys,

1224
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:29.360
<v Speaker 9>because that was like my generation was like emo guys.

1225
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:34.400
<v Speaker 9>And they all had on like Sleeping with Sirens t

1226
01:07:34.559 --> 01:07:37.119
<v Speaker 9>shirts and they just were like the perfect Like, oh

1227
01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:40.000
<v Speaker 9>my god, I was so obsessed. Easily I could have

1228
01:07:40.079 --> 01:07:43.360
<v Speaker 9>been lured to the mall, kidnapped, raped, thrown, in a

1229
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:46.360
<v Speaker 9>van dead by the river. It would have been so

1230
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:49.599
<v Speaker 9>easy because nobody thought about that stuff back then, like, oh,

1231
01:07:49.639 --> 01:07:52.239
<v Speaker 9>this can't be a real person. Let me do some

1232
01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:56.039
<v Speaker 9>FBI type shit and find out, like, you know, and

1233
01:07:56.079 --> 01:08:00.480
<v Speaker 9>look at this. It just wasn't nowadays. I think everybody's

1234
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:03.719
<v Speaker 9>a freaking sci op person. I don't even trust my

1235
01:08:03.840 --> 01:08:08.840
<v Speaker 9>family members anymore. But like, it's just your right thing

1236
01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:10.480
<v Speaker 9>back then, and it.

1237
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:12.559
<v Speaker 1>Was harder to even like even if you had thought

1238
01:08:12.599 --> 01:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to yourself this, like, you know, xx my wrist slit.

1239
01:08:17.760 --> 01:08:20.359
<v Speaker 1>XX boy looks a little sketchy. I don't know if

1240
01:08:20.359 --> 01:08:22.199
<v Speaker 1>he's real or not. Like, even if that had crossed

1241
01:08:22.199 --> 01:08:26.199
<v Speaker 1>your mind, the tools to sleuth it out were not there. No,

1242
01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:28.359
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't like it is now. You have like you know,

1243
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:31.159
<v Speaker 1>your little AI Facebook up sites where you can upload

1244
01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>someone's picture and be like, exactly where else on the

1245
01:08:33.680 --> 01:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Internet this person has been, you know, yeah.

1246
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:40.000
<v Speaker 9>Like a Google image search of that person's profile pick

1247
01:08:40.119 --> 01:08:43.000
<v Speaker 9>and then they turn up to be like somebody else.

1248
01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:45.600
<v Speaker 9>I mean that's how that catfish lady got away with

1249
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:48.680
<v Speaker 9>it for so long, because she would take like pictures

1250
01:08:48.680 --> 01:08:52.279
<v Speaker 9>from Google or other people's facebooks and like upload them

1251
01:08:52.359 --> 01:08:55.439
<v Speaker 9>and dude, she had a whole network worked out. But

1252
01:08:56.359 --> 01:08:59.800
<v Speaker 9>social media and these forums and stuff and themselves, I

1253
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:04.600
<v Speaker 9>think we're very They were created by design, obviously for

1254
01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:07.279
<v Speaker 9>some type of outcome, and I think that they've been

1255
01:09:07.319 --> 01:09:09.880
<v Speaker 9>working perfectly for whatever. That is.

1256
01:09:14.199 --> 01:09:18.239
<v Speaker 5>Something I wanted to ask, and I actually mean this seriously.

1257
01:09:18.479 --> 01:09:20.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm just trying to get an that's what's going on here?

1258
01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:24.359
<v Speaker 5>Or how far does this go besides vampires in this thing?

1259
01:09:24.399 --> 01:09:27.199
<v Speaker 5>Did they entertain other things that were maybe like you know,

1260
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:31.680
<v Speaker 5>fairies and gnomes or like, I'm being serious, but no,

1261
01:09:31.960 --> 01:09:32.520
<v Speaker 5>I take.

1262
01:09:32.319 --> 01:09:36.039
<v Speaker 1>It in real life? Who think gnomes are real?

1263
01:09:36.279 --> 01:09:36.520
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

1264
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:38.840
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, but I'm just you know what I'm saying.

1265
01:09:40.039 --> 01:09:45.279
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, Yeah, no, not really. I mean I think

1266
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:49.359
<v Speaker 1>that there was some We definitely had like a paranormal

1267
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:52.159
<v Speaker 1>board on the forum. I mean for anyone who's listening,

1268
01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and you guys will will know, but for anyone who's

1269
01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:56.079
<v Speaker 1>listening is like forums boards, but you know, like you

1270
01:09:56.119 --> 01:09:58.239
<v Speaker 1>had your main forum, but then you had your sub

1271
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>boards kind of like in a discord stare for like

1272
01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:04.239
<v Speaker 1>different stuff. And there was definitely like a paranormal board

1273
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>where people would talk about ghosts were a big thing,

1274
01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>like ghost, spirits, apparitions, stuff like that. And I think

1275
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>if anyone ever came across like an interesting story about

1276
01:10:14.920 --> 01:10:17.359
<v Speaker 1>an encounter with something else like an alien or a

1277
01:10:17.399 --> 01:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>gnome or whatever, I'm sure we would talk about it.

1278
01:10:19.800 --> 01:10:23.479
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't so much part of the world, you know,

1279
01:10:23.520 --> 01:10:26.159
<v Speaker 1>what they were building and trying to really push on people.

1280
01:10:27.159 --> 01:10:29.199
<v Speaker 5>So it was like really just strictly I guess what

1281
01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:30.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to get out was like there was in

1282
01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:33.159
<v Speaker 5>like other forums for other things that it was just

1283
01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:35.439
<v Speaker 5>strictly really that vampire.

1284
01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was like vampires all day, every day, okay,

1285
01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>or mostly all night because you know there's.

1286
01:10:41.720 --> 01:10:49.319
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, Jin said something about a PDF of Buddhism for vampires.

1287
01:10:49.399 --> 01:10:50.199
<v Speaker 9>What is that?

1288
01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:51.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay?

1289
01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:54.760
<v Speaker 10>So he was a guy that the guy who runs it,

1290
01:10:54.920 --> 01:10:59.119
<v Speaker 10>he was a very famous Typhoni and OTO member, and

1291
01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:03.039
<v Speaker 10>he he did train I don't know how extensively.

1292
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:07.279
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't say that's usually how it goes, but he did.

1293
01:11:07.680 --> 01:11:12.000
<v Speaker 10>He has some kind of initiation into some basic Vagoriana practices.

1294
01:11:12.439 --> 01:11:16.239
<v Speaker 10>So then he created like a whole system of psychic vampirism.

1295
01:11:16.680 --> 01:11:19.319
<v Speaker 10>He called it Buddhism for vampires because, as I said,

1296
01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:22.359
<v Speaker 10>we do discuss like very carnal ground.

1297
01:11:22.479 --> 01:11:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Kinds of ideas.

1298
01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:26.720
<v Speaker 10>So yeah, I mean there, but it is it is

1299
01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:28.239
<v Speaker 10>like Celestin Nick we're talking about.

1300
01:11:28.279 --> 01:11:29.560
<v Speaker 2>It is typhony and oto.

1301
01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:33.279
<v Speaker 10>But then it's also there are Vagriana things there are

1302
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:38.319
<v Speaker 10>maybe like a kind of that like superficial I'm using

1303
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:40.479
<v Speaker 10>the word in a more occultist way, but more of

1304
01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:41.880
<v Speaker 10>a Satanic.

1305
01:11:42.760 --> 01:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, flavor.

1306
01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:47.680
<v Speaker 10>But it's not it's not really like crazy Satanism. It's

1307
01:11:47.720 --> 01:11:51.399
<v Speaker 10>more just the aesthetic maybe like maybe a goth aesthetic.

1308
01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:53.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's really what Buddhism for vampires is.

1309
01:11:53.960 --> 01:11:56.640
<v Speaker 10>But even if you look at the logo for it,

1310
01:11:56.640 --> 01:11:59.279
<v Speaker 10>it is just the seven seven seven thing, like the

1311
01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:00.239
<v Speaker 10>telemus are.

1312
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:03.479
<v Speaker 2>That's all is. But they just they made they gave.

1313
01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:11.399
<v Speaker 10>It like a Buddhist Flairsonian.

1314
01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Mean, Jin will be better at explaining that than me,

1315
01:12:13.560 --> 01:12:18.279
<v Speaker 1>because I'm a I'm only a peripheral oh geo nowhere.

1316
01:12:22.119 --> 01:12:25.720
<v Speaker 10>Well, I mean, I'm I'm honestly my background is more

1317
01:12:25.840 --> 01:12:28.159
<v Speaker 10>like you sluss in a way, because like I came

1318
01:12:28.159 --> 01:12:31.520
<v Speaker 10>from a left time path Catholicism kind of like I

1319
01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:35.479
<v Speaker 10>was really into grimoires and like you know, leftown path

1320
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:37.800
<v Speaker 10>saints and all that stuff as everybody.

1321
01:12:37.439 --> 01:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>Already like Cyprian and stuff.

1322
01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:43.479
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, like Cyprian, and there's other ones. There's like saying

1323
01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:47.239
<v Speaker 10>Lucy obviously, Saint Peter all those, Yeah, also left Time Path.

1324
01:12:47.319 --> 01:12:51.520
<v Speaker 10>So it depends, right, But uh so Typhony and at Well,

1325
01:12:51.520 --> 01:12:53.600
<v Speaker 10>I'm familiar with Kenneth Grant, so I'll explain it like this,

1326
01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:57.039
<v Speaker 10>Julia is Kenneth Grant. He basically wrote a series of

1327
01:12:57.079 --> 01:13:00.239
<v Speaker 10>parafictional books just like we were I mentioned before, or

1328
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:05.640
<v Speaker 10>so his books are half fiction half oto material, but

1329
01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:08.640
<v Speaker 10>he takes it in a Lovecraftian way. Well, there's really

1330
01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:11.880
<v Speaker 10>two factions. There's a love Craftian faction, and you can

1331
01:13:11.920 --> 01:13:14.319
<v Speaker 10>see this with Temple of Set, like I really like

1332
01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:17.479
<v Speaker 10>Don web Don Webb also Temple Set, but he became

1333
01:13:17.479 --> 01:13:21.119
<v Speaker 10>a Buddhist afterwards, interestingly, But he wrote a lot of

1334
01:13:21.159 --> 01:13:26.439
<v Speaker 10>these kind of books on a Lovecraft and how they

1335
01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:29.079
<v Speaker 10>were using this idea of Lovecraft in their.

1336
01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Magic, and how Aquino was so into it.

1337
01:13:31.439 --> 01:13:34.399
<v Speaker 10>But then there's this other faction that is into Conan,

1338
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:40.920
<v Speaker 10>the Barbarian and the Hyperborean stories. I do, so there

1339
01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:43.439
<v Speaker 10>was a kind of factional divide. I just find that

1340
01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:47.119
<v Speaker 10>very interesting. But basically he's talking about like abistle gods

1341
01:13:47.159 --> 01:13:50.199
<v Speaker 10>and the Mavre, and he calls it the Gray Lodge.

1342
01:13:50.279 --> 01:13:52.319
<v Speaker 10>I also have a thing called the Gray Lodge. It's

1343
01:13:52.359 --> 01:13:55.800
<v Speaker 10>not related, but it is interesting that we both have

1344
01:13:55.880 --> 01:14:00.920
<v Speaker 10>the same title. But basically, he's he's bringing these ideas

1345
01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:04.520
<v Speaker 10>that not necessarily come from mythology, are not necessarily come

1346
01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:07.760
<v Speaker 10>from excuse me, like a religious cosmology, but he's drawing

1347
01:14:07.800 --> 01:14:12.800
<v Speaker 10>from this kind of fictional mythology that's contemporary, and they're

1348
01:14:12.800 --> 01:14:18.039
<v Speaker 10>bringing it into actual magical ideas, not just the facts

1349
01:14:18.079 --> 01:14:23.479
<v Speaker 10>of the fiction, but they're actually applying like more technical ideas,

1350
01:14:23.560 --> 01:14:26.239
<v Speaker 10>and then they're slatting in the names.

1351
01:14:26.319 --> 01:14:29.520
<v Speaker 2>The faces, the aesthetic, it's all of it.

1352
01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:33.439
<v Speaker 9>And so could you do that with anything?

1353
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Though?

1354
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:36.600
<v Speaker 9>Could you do that with like vampires and put them

1355
01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:36.960
<v Speaker 9>in there?

1356
01:14:37.199 --> 01:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yes, Okay, that's what pass magicians magic.

1357
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:43.359
<v Speaker 6>I was just gonna say, chass magic with typhony and

1358
01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:45.039
<v Speaker 6>sex magic to the goddess.

1359
01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:49.079
<v Speaker 5>That's another reason why I asked about the sigils as well.

1360
01:14:49.319 --> 01:14:53.199
<v Speaker 5>There I'm just saying a lot of chaos magicians and

1361
01:14:53.239 --> 01:14:55.039
<v Speaker 5>love sigils. So that's why I was asking if people

1362
01:14:55.039 --> 01:14:55.479
<v Speaker 5>are using some.

1363
01:14:59.079 --> 01:15:00.680
<v Speaker 9>J of knowledge.

1364
01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:04.800
<v Speaker 4>I love you.

1365
01:15:05.039 --> 01:15:08.319
<v Speaker 1>That was an awesome awesome explanation. I've always been fascinated

1366
01:15:08.359 --> 01:15:10.520
<v Speaker 1>by the Tifoni and OTO. I mean, I love Lovecraft,

1367
01:15:11.520 --> 01:15:14.279
<v Speaker 1>and even though I have not now and will not

1368
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:17.239
<v Speaker 1>ever join the OTO in any capacity for personal reasons,

1369
01:15:19.279 --> 01:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I am fascinated, you know by that. I think there's

1370
01:15:24.119 --> 01:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>it's such rich fodder, Like stories are rich fodder, right,

1371
01:15:28.399 --> 01:15:33.439
<v Speaker 1>especially if you get a rich mythology like love crafty

1372
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:36.479
<v Speaker 1>and mythology or I mean, I am only possibly familiar

1373
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:38.960
<v Speaker 1>with Conan the Barbarian, but you're kind of you're taking

1374
01:15:39.000 --> 01:15:41.920
<v Speaker 1>an intellectual property or a world or a mythology that

1375
01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:46.399
<v Speaker 1>already has all the interlocking parts, but also an engine

1376
01:15:46.840 --> 01:15:49.199
<v Speaker 1>of people who have fed into it, even though most

1377
01:15:49.199 --> 01:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>people are not reading HP. Love Croft's work and being like, oh,

1378
01:15:52.000 --> 01:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that's all definitely real. It's it's energy behind it from

1379
01:15:56.119 --> 01:15:58.279
<v Speaker 1>people for you know, well not hundreds of years, but

1380
01:15:58.279 --> 01:16:01.119
<v Speaker 1>people for like a very long time reading and investing

1381
01:16:01.199 --> 01:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>and being interested. And that's energy. That's energy that they

1382
01:16:06.239 --> 01:16:07.039
<v Speaker 1>was a little battery.

1383
01:16:07.800 --> 01:16:12.199
<v Speaker 9>They made a show about it, right, my am. I

1384
01:16:12.239 --> 01:16:13.920
<v Speaker 9>the only one who saw that. It was like HB.

1385
01:16:14.039 --> 01:16:15.000
<v Speaker 9>Love Craft Show.

1386
01:16:16.520 --> 01:16:16.920
<v Speaker 3>County.

1387
01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:18.479
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch it, but I heard it was.

1388
01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:24.199
<v Speaker 9>Oh yeah, I saw the first season, and it's everything

1389
01:16:24.279 --> 01:16:28.239
<v Speaker 9>you would expect it to be. But yeah, no, this stuff,

1390
01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:32.000
<v Speaker 9>this stuff really interests me because you know, I talk

1391
01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:34.880
<v Speaker 9>a lot about occultism and stuff like that, but I

1392
01:16:34.880 --> 01:16:37.079
<v Speaker 9>don't I don't know the ins and outs of it,

1393
01:16:37.319 --> 01:16:41.359
<v Speaker 9>like you know, Gin or even Celeste or Nick. I

1394
01:16:41.479 --> 01:16:47.079
<v Speaker 9>just I know that peripheral. If I want to know

1395
01:16:47.159 --> 01:16:49.960
<v Speaker 9>something about the process church, I'll ask you a j.

1396
01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:54.479
<v Speaker 4>That I do know. There you go, I can tell

1397
01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:56.079
<v Speaker 4>I can help you with that that as well.

1398
01:16:56.079 --> 01:16:57.960
<v Speaker 8>But one thing I did know about the Typhony and

1399
01:16:57.960 --> 01:16:59.680
<v Speaker 8>Oto is they have further offshoots.

1400
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:01.960
<v Speaker 4>There are these werewolf and vampire orders.

1401
01:17:01.960 --> 01:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe interesting interesting.

1402
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:08.000
<v Speaker 10>One thing I want to I just want to deny

1403
01:17:08.119 --> 01:17:11.119
<v Speaker 10>any rumors that I'm associated with any of this. I

1404
01:17:11.199 --> 01:17:13.680
<v Speaker 10>really come from it from a chaos magic perspective. That's

1405
01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:17.239
<v Speaker 10>really my interest, Julia, is that I like the lifting

1406
01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:20.039
<v Speaker 10>of frameworks like that. You can take just the magic

1407
01:17:20.119 --> 01:17:23.680
<v Speaker 10>framework and you can sort of apply ideas to it,

1408
01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:26.760
<v Speaker 10>but I take it all conceptual. So that's a true

1409
01:17:26.840 --> 01:17:29.840
<v Speaker 10>chaos magic. Maybe you could say true chaos magician. You

1410
01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:32.399
<v Speaker 10>just take it comes completely in your mind. And so

1411
01:17:32.439 --> 01:17:36.119
<v Speaker 10>Buddhism makes it's like the next logical step if you're

1412
01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:40.399
<v Speaker 10>able to do that. Whereas some people they require all

1413
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:44.359
<v Speaker 10>this I Nick will laugh, but I call it like

1414
01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:48.640
<v Speaker 10>the ceremonial LARPing, like they you know, they require the

1415
01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:51.199
<v Speaker 10>ren fare. I'm not saying that it's I'm not saying

1416
01:17:51.239 --> 01:17:53.159
<v Speaker 10>that you don't burn candles and do all that stuff.

1417
01:17:53.279 --> 01:17:55.840
<v Speaker 10>That can be useful for sure, But I'm just saying

1418
01:17:55.840 --> 01:18:00.600
<v Speaker 10>if you need like a whole ritual like thing, then yeah,

1419
01:18:00.720 --> 01:18:03.199
<v Speaker 10>maybe you would be more interested in like Typhoni and ounce.

1420
01:18:03.439 --> 01:18:05.159
<v Speaker 10>I'm just interested in the ideas.

1421
01:18:06.119 --> 01:18:09.600
<v Speaker 9>The ritualism interests me because I remember one time I

1422
01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:11.800
<v Speaker 9>was talking to Nick and he made me laugh my

1423
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:15.319
<v Speaker 9>fucking ass off because he said he was doing something

1424
01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:18.520
<v Speaker 9>in his bedroom with swinging some incense or doing something,

1425
01:18:18.600 --> 01:18:20.880
<v Speaker 9>and his wife walked in and was like, what are

1426
01:18:20.920 --> 01:18:28.800
<v Speaker 9>you doing? The Catholic rise. Yeah, literally, it's the Catholicism

1427
01:18:29.119 --> 01:18:31.479
<v Speaker 9>has a lot of that ritualism in it. It just

1428
01:18:31.720 --> 01:18:33.159
<v Speaker 9>it interests me about that.

1429
01:18:33.279 --> 01:18:35.840
<v Speaker 5>So one thing I did want to mention about the

1430
01:18:36.359 --> 01:18:41.000
<v Speaker 5>Typhonian order. If you're like into like the Limaic magic

1431
01:18:41.159 --> 01:18:44.399
<v Speaker 5>or even Golden Down or a lot of like I

1432
01:18:44.439 --> 01:18:46.479
<v Speaker 5>would even assume maybe even the temple is set I

1433
01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:49.840
<v Speaker 5>don't you know stuff like that. At least with Alma,

1434
01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:55.600
<v Speaker 5>you're going to be practicing like the Hexagram ritual, in

1435
01:18:55.680 --> 01:18:58.479
<v Speaker 5>the Pentagram ritual probably for a long time. You know,

1436
01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:00.279
<v Speaker 5>that's gonna be like, you know, something that you were

1437
01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:04.199
<v Speaker 5>used to doing constantly. And in the Hexagram ritual you

1438
01:19:04.520 --> 01:19:07.720
<v Speaker 5>use the LVX formula, and in there at some point

1439
01:19:07.760 --> 01:19:14.039
<v Speaker 5>you acknowledge purfos in Typhon. And the weird thing is

1440
01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:17.399
<v Speaker 5>that the whole LVX formula is Egyptian. That's why it

1441
01:19:17.439 --> 01:19:19.239
<v Speaker 5>uses a pofos. But then twas is in the Greek

1442
01:19:19.840 --> 01:19:23.319
<v Speaker 5>Pophus having Typhon, you know, and that's kind of like

1443
01:19:23.359 --> 01:19:25.119
<v Speaker 5>the rising beast in my opinion. You that's where I

1444
01:19:25.119 --> 01:19:27.720
<v Speaker 5>think it's symbolizing you. You even go like that when

1445
01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:30.840
<v Speaker 5>you when you acknowledge a purfis in Typhon. So I

1446
01:19:30.880 --> 01:19:34.239
<v Speaker 5>have wondered if I do think that when it comes

1447
01:19:34.279 --> 01:19:37.039
<v Speaker 5>to the typhony in order, maybe at the beginning it

1448
01:19:37.079 --> 01:19:38.760
<v Speaker 5>was more for people that he thought that might have

1449
01:19:38.880 --> 01:19:44.159
<v Speaker 5>like had experienced maybe like actual magical experiences or the abyss.

1450
01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:47.479
<v Speaker 5>I could be wrong, But another reason why I do

1451
01:19:47.520 --> 01:19:49.720
<v Speaker 5>think that might be possible is because when it first

1452
01:19:49.760 --> 01:19:52.319
<v Speaker 5>started I don't know if it's still like this. He

1453
01:19:52.439 --> 01:19:55.800
<v Speaker 5>took the same like pretty much adopted the same oto

1454
01:19:56.039 --> 01:20:00.359
<v Speaker 5>initiations or degrees. But you do not have to set

1455
01:20:00.479 --> 01:20:02.439
<v Speaker 5>off at the first if you if you didn't think

1456
01:20:02.479 --> 01:20:06.399
<v Speaker 5>you belonged to So now, if you did have a

1457
01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:08.960
<v Speaker 5>magical experience, and in my opinion, you did cross the abyss,

1458
01:20:08.960 --> 01:20:11.359
<v Speaker 5>you shouldn't be coming in starting a fucking first. You

1459
01:20:11.399 --> 01:20:13.880
<v Speaker 5>should be coming in where you belong. So I'm wondering

1460
01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:16.159
<v Speaker 5>if that is just more proof of why. I do

1461
01:20:16.439 --> 01:20:18.680
<v Speaker 5>think that that might be the difference between that order

1462
01:20:18.720 --> 01:20:21.039
<v Speaker 5>as well, Like I don't think. I think maybe at

1463
01:20:21.119 --> 01:20:24.760
<v Speaker 5>exception he wasn't so much trying to have people come

1464
01:20:24.800 --> 01:20:26.920
<v Speaker 5>there that I don't know what the fuck they're doing.

1465
01:20:28.760 --> 01:20:31.520
<v Speaker 9>That makes sense, Like newbies.

1466
01:20:31.520 --> 01:20:33.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, are people who don't actually know what magic.

1467
01:20:36.359 --> 01:20:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Didn't want?

1468
01:20:40.520 --> 01:20:43.319
<v Speaker 9>Doesn't it take a while to really understand what it is,

1469
01:20:43.359 --> 01:20:47.840
<v Speaker 9>because I mean there's so many Actually I have a

1470
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:51.039
<v Speaker 9>question for youse list and you're the first witch I've

1471
01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:56.079
<v Speaker 9>ever met, so don't judge me. I did being a

1472
01:20:56.159 --> 01:20:59.239
<v Speaker 9>part of this cult? Did it lead you into those interests?

1473
01:20:59.600 --> 01:20:59.680
<v Speaker 6>Like?

1474
01:20:59.720 --> 01:21:02.680
<v Speaker 9>Did it lead you found the thought of like I

1475
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:06.680
<v Speaker 9>want to do witchery stuff, you know.

1476
01:21:08.159 --> 01:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Not really. I have a weird like story with how

1477
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:15.479
<v Speaker 1>that part of my life like kicked off, And it

1478
01:21:15.560 --> 01:21:18.479
<v Speaker 1>sounds like very cringe almost to tell it, but like literally,

1479
01:21:18.520 --> 01:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>when I was like six and seven years old, I

1480
01:21:22.119 --> 01:21:24.760
<v Speaker 1>was like pretending to be a fortune teller, like in

1481
01:21:24.800 --> 01:21:27.399
<v Speaker 1>my like little like hut in the garden, and like

1482
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I was just always extremely drawn to that stuff, reading

1483
01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:33.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of like kids books, but reading books about

1484
01:21:33.039 --> 01:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>witches and stuff when I was like very little. So

1485
01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where that comes from for me. I

1486
01:21:37.600 --> 01:21:40.319
<v Speaker 1>mean a lot of kids have spooky interests, but for me,

1487
01:21:40.359 --> 01:21:43.399
<v Speaker 1>it really was like lifelong and it just evolved over

1488
01:21:43.479 --> 01:21:48.199
<v Speaker 1>time into researching and learning about more serious stuff and

1489
01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:51.359
<v Speaker 1>beginning when I was wickaned primarily when I was a

1490
01:21:51.520 --> 01:21:54.760
<v Speaker 1>teenager because much like Fan pass By having a booms,

1491
01:21:54.800 --> 01:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>so we're witches because of the craft and stufah, I was.

1492
01:21:57.560 --> 01:22:00.479
<v Speaker 9>Gonna see, I wonder did those two things kind of

1493
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:03.960
<v Speaker 9>like ran together, Like maybe the interest in the cult

1494
01:22:04.039 --> 01:22:06.119
<v Speaker 9>kind of fueled your other interests.

1495
01:22:06.479 --> 01:22:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It definitely few it definitely like fueled it to some degree.

1496
01:22:10.920 --> 01:22:15.279
<v Speaker 1>It existed beforehand, but it definitely kind of it introduced

1497
01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:16.920
<v Speaker 1>me to a lot of occult topics that I probably

1498
01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have found otherwise until much later, stuff like to

1499
01:22:20.119 --> 01:22:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Betan Buddhism and the mysticism into Betan Buddhism. I mean,

1500
01:22:22.800 --> 01:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't probably have encountered that on my own until

1501
01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>much much later if I hadn't been in the cult.

1502
01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:32.399
<v Speaker 1>So it springboarded me into more serious occultism at like

1503
01:22:32.439 --> 01:22:35.520
<v Speaker 1>a young age. But I think I would always have

1504
01:22:36.439 --> 01:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>found that to be like a path that I would

1505
01:22:38.720 --> 01:22:41.319
<v Speaker 1>have gone down. It just it took it in a

1506
01:22:42.479 --> 01:22:45.319
<v Speaker 1>in an interesting direction at an earlier age, I think.

1507
01:22:45.920 --> 01:22:47.960
<v Speaker 9>And you do it professionally, you said, for like the

1508
01:22:48.039 --> 01:22:49.479
<v Speaker 9>last seven or eight years.

1509
01:22:49.960 --> 01:22:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So I have done like magic and psychic stuff

1510
01:22:54.119 --> 01:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>for work since I was about nineteen, but very like

1511
01:22:57.039 --> 01:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>part time. I sat it as an online psychic as

1512
01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:03.319
<v Speaker 1>a part time job when I was about nineteen, from

1513
01:23:03.319 --> 01:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>a psych called Cassamba, which still exists. I do not

1514
01:23:06.680 --> 01:23:09.159
<v Speaker 1>work for them anymore because they would not pay me enough.

1515
01:23:11.079 --> 01:23:13.359
<v Speaker 1>But I did that, you know, as a side hustle

1516
01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:18.319
<v Speaker 1>all through college, and you know, continued to do such

1517
01:23:18.359 --> 01:23:20.279
<v Speaker 1>things as a side hustle for a long time. And

1518
01:23:20.319 --> 01:23:26.079
<v Speaker 1>then in about twenty sixteen twenty seventeen, maybe I was

1519
01:23:26.319 --> 01:23:29.720
<v Speaker 1>very very unhappy in my marketing job, my full time

1520
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:33.399
<v Speaker 1>marketing job for a retro clothing company, and I kind

1521
01:23:33.399 --> 01:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>of rage quit to just do it full time. I

1522
01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>worked for a while out in Jackson Square in the

1523
01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:41.319
<v Speaker 1>French Quarter as the one of the little Terror readers

1524
01:23:41.319 --> 01:23:43.840
<v Speaker 1>set up at a lot cool going out there. It

1525
01:23:43.960 --> 01:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was cool except people got stabbed a lot, and that

1526
01:23:47.000 --> 01:23:47.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't so cool.

1527
01:23:48.079 --> 01:23:50.159
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, I had no shit, you know.

1528
01:23:51.880 --> 01:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I was not a fan of that. So after a

1529
01:23:54.560 --> 01:23:56.840
<v Speaker 1>little while out there, I got a job at some

1530
01:23:56.880 --> 01:23:59.319
<v Speaker 1>of the little stores in the French Quarter, just reading

1531
01:23:59.359 --> 01:24:02.239
<v Speaker 1>cards and stuff, and worked for a while at the

1532
01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Vampire Boutique in the French Quarter, which is another interesting

1533
01:24:04.960 --> 01:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of like intersection of vampires coming back into the story.

1534
01:24:09.359 --> 01:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>And then I got my own store in the French

1535
01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Quarter in twenty twenty, like right at the beginning of

1536
01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, I signed this lease on my own storefront,

1537
01:24:16.800 --> 01:24:20.520
<v Speaker 1>which you know, in Tara Reader New Orleans terms, is

1538
01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:22.640
<v Speaker 1>like you've hit the big, the big big if you're

1539
01:24:22.680 --> 01:24:24.960
<v Speaker 1>getting your own shop, you know. So I was super

1540
01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:27.840
<v Speaker 1>stroked about that. I was in business with a friend

1541
01:24:27.880 --> 01:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>of mine. We decorated the whole place super excited, and

1542
01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:35.720
<v Speaker 1>then COVID lockdowns happened, I was gonna say yeah, And

1543
01:24:35.800 --> 01:24:38.079
<v Speaker 1>so for me though, actually it was a lifesaver because

1544
01:24:38.119 --> 01:24:40.479
<v Speaker 1>I actually hate talking to people face to face. Like

1545
01:24:40.479 --> 01:24:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm a very low energy person. As far as like

1546
01:24:43.760 --> 01:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>being one on one in person with people, I don't.

1547
01:24:46.640 --> 01:24:49.239
<v Speaker 1>I love the Internet. I love talking online and phone

1548
01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:52.279
<v Speaker 1>and all of that, but it drains me very quickly

1549
01:24:52.359 --> 01:24:54.239
<v Speaker 1>having to be like face.

1550
01:24:54.039 --> 01:24:55.000
<v Speaker 9>Time with people face.

1551
01:24:56.760 --> 01:25:00.680
<v Speaker 1>So I was already kind of almost wishing I hadn't

1552
01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:02.600
<v Speaker 1>signed this lease because I was like, oh God, am

1553
01:25:02.640 --> 01:25:04.439
<v Speaker 1>I going to do this for sixty hours a week

1554
01:25:04.520 --> 01:25:06.079
<v Speaker 1>for like the rest of my life, just go down

1555
01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:08.279
<v Speaker 1>to the French Quarter and have to find parking and

1556
01:25:08.359 --> 01:25:12.439
<v Speaker 1>deal with people? Oh uh? And then yeah, the lockdown's happened.

1557
01:25:12.479 --> 01:25:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I was very lucky. The person I was renting from

1558
01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>said that it was cool, we would just cancel the lease,

1559
01:25:16.439 --> 01:25:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and I pivoted everything online. And so for the past

1560
01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>five years full time, I've just been I do spell

1561
01:25:22.359 --> 01:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>work for people, I do readings, I do truants like

1562
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>mediumship sessions and stuff like that.

1563
01:25:28.840 --> 01:25:30.960
<v Speaker 9>What is spell What's spell work?

1564
01:25:32.920 --> 01:25:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Pretty much what it sounds like? So you know, if

1565
01:25:35.199 --> 01:25:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you're if you're a magical practitioner or an occultist, you know, uh,

1566
01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:41.399
<v Speaker 1>they're going to people are going to call it different

1567
01:25:41.399 --> 01:25:44.399
<v Speaker 1>things depending on what they practice and what their path is.

1568
01:25:46.079 --> 01:25:49.079
<v Speaker 1>More ceremonial magicians are probably going to call it rituals

1569
01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>rather than spell work, which sounds kind of like shinzy.

1570
01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:53.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, we can do a little spell work with

1571
01:25:53.920 --> 01:25:58.359
<v Speaker 1>our little jars and our little candles. But but yeah,

1572
01:25:58.439 --> 01:26:02.239
<v Speaker 1>it's it's essentially, it's a rich or a spell that

1573
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:06.560
<v Speaker 1>is done with various different materials in order to impact

1574
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:11.680
<v Speaker 1>or affect a desired outcome. And so if you learn

1575
01:26:12.319 --> 01:26:16.239
<v Speaker 1>witchcraft or magic, or you know, you've become initiated into

1576
01:26:16.560 --> 01:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>any of the initiatory traditions, you're going to learn how

1577
01:26:18.760 --> 01:26:21.960
<v Speaker 1>to do it in a certain way. In my opinion,

1578
01:26:22.039 --> 01:26:25.279
<v Speaker 1>anyone can learn. As Nick was saying earlier, I don't

1579
01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:27.960
<v Speaker 1>think that means everybody on the planet is going to

1580
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:30.800
<v Speaker 1>experience real magic, because that does take years of study

1581
01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes it just takes circumstance and kismet whether or

1582
01:26:34.840 --> 01:26:37.039
<v Speaker 1>not you're going to have that experience or not. But

1583
01:26:37.359 --> 01:26:39.600
<v Speaker 1>in theory, you don't have to be special in any

1584
01:26:39.600 --> 01:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>way to learn how to do magic. Anyone can learn

1585
01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:44.319
<v Speaker 1>how to do magic. However, for my clients, a lot

1586
01:26:44.359 --> 01:26:47.079
<v Speaker 1>of them don't want to do that. They would rather

1587
01:26:47.159 --> 01:26:49.680
<v Speaker 1>just pay somebody else to do it, and so I

1588
01:26:49.720 --> 01:26:50.359
<v Speaker 1>do it for them.

1589
01:26:51.119 --> 01:26:51.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

1590
01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:54.880
<v Speaker 9>Interesting, that's so interesting. Have you ever had anybody be like,

1591
01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:59.520
<v Speaker 9>I want this person dead or do something bad to

1592
01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:06.960
<v Speaker 9>this Yeah, I'm not serious that. Oh, yeah, it happens.

1593
01:27:07.880 --> 01:27:10.840
<v Speaker 4>What's the curse environment situation here? For example? What's your

1594
01:27:10.840 --> 01:27:12.960
<v Speaker 4>opinion of haunted dolls curses?

1595
01:27:13.800 --> 01:27:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I think haunted dolls exist, but I have a

1596
01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess a quirky opinion on haunted dolls I think exists.

1597
01:27:20.960 --> 01:27:23.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if anyone here has read the work

1598
01:27:23.479 --> 01:27:25.920
<v Speaker 1>of Oh my god, what is her name? I'm going

1599
01:27:25.960 --> 01:27:28.359
<v Speaker 1>to forget now. She wrote the Exorcists Handbook. Her name

1600
01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:36.279
<v Speaker 1>is Josephine something, but I'm now McCarthy like real stuff. Yeah,

1601
01:27:36.359 --> 01:27:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Josephine McCarthy isn' occultist from the UK. She's fascinating lady,

1602
01:27:40.159 --> 01:27:44.439
<v Speaker 1>and she really knows her shit. And she worked as

1603
01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:47.119
<v Speaker 1>a as a straight up exorcist, not in the Catholic tradition.

1604
01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:49.720
<v Speaker 1>She's not Catholic, but she worked as like an exorcist

1605
01:27:49.800 --> 01:27:52.119
<v Speaker 1>for years and years and years, and she has an

1606
01:27:52.119 --> 01:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>interesting theory about like haunted objects, haunted dolls. She says

1607
01:27:55.960 --> 01:27:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that in her experience professionally over like thirty plus years

1608
01:27:59.000 --> 01:28:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of doing exorcism, anything with a face is something that

1609
01:28:02.680 --> 01:28:04.279
<v Speaker 1>a spirit is going to.

1610
01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:06.840
<v Speaker 9>Why does that give me the fucking creeps?

1611
01:28:07.079 --> 01:28:10.000
<v Speaker 8>Oh my god, I was hoping you're gonna say that

1612
01:28:10.000 --> 01:28:11.239
<v Speaker 8>they don't exist, That's what I was hoping.

1613
01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. No, I think I've never met one personally,

1614
01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:17.279
<v Speaker 1>but I do think they're real.

1615
01:28:17.560 --> 01:28:20.239
<v Speaker 9>Like Annabelle, I've met a doll?

1616
01:28:21.119 --> 01:28:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Really?

1617
01:28:21.840 --> 01:28:22.199
<v Speaker 9>You did?

1618
01:28:23.159 --> 01:28:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Ye?

1619
01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:24.039
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

1620
01:28:24.119 --> 01:28:24.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

1621
01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:27.199
<v Speaker 1>Is that that's Chucky West?

1622
01:28:27.840 --> 01:28:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, down down in the Key West, in Key West.

1623
01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I've seen him too.

1624
01:28:32.159 --> 01:28:34.840
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, they're they're dangerous folks down there. You don't put

1625
01:28:34.840 --> 01:28:37.000
<v Speaker 8>a hanted doll in a civil war for it, or

1626
01:28:37.039 --> 01:28:39.640
<v Speaker 8>some historian buff such as myself might stumble across it.

1627
01:28:39.760 --> 01:28:42.560
<v Speaker 8>No bad photograph. We didn't get cursed for about ten

1628
01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:47.279
<v Speaker 8>or twelve years, did you really? Yeah?

1629
01:28:46.880 --> 01:28:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Ye can happen. I do, And I think you know, yeah,

1630
01:28:51.760 --> 01:28:56.119
<v Speaker 1>depending on your worldview, right, spirits are everywhere. You know,

1631
01:28:56.159 --> 01:28:59.520
<v Speaker 1>They're not They're not special and only hiding and these

1632
01:28:59.560 --> 01:29:03.640
<v Speaker 1>like very specific areas fing you up. Spirits are all

1633
01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:05.680
<v Speaker 1>over the place. I last night, so I lived with

1634
01:29:05.720 --> 01:29:09.359
<v Speaker 1>another occultist. My my roommate is for more Mormon now

1635
01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:10.720
<v Speaker 1>an occultist. Lovely guy.

1636
01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:15.159
<v Speaker 9>Oh so transition from one transition.

1637
01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:20.239
<v Speaker 1>To he's amazing. But I was. When I came out

1638
01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:22.319
<v Speaker 1>of my room last night into the kitchen, I was

1639
01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>just going to get water or something, and he's in

1640
01:29:24.880 --> 01:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen also when he pulls me aside and he

1641
01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, I just need to tell you that. When

1642
01:29:29.800 --> 01:29:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I was coming in here earlier, I glanced into the

1643
01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>living room and I thought I saw you sitting in

1644
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:38.560
<v Speaker 1>a chair with your hand, with your hands over your eyes.

1645
01:29:39.319 --> 01:29:42.079
<v Speaker 1>And then I looked again and realized it wasn't you.

1646
01:29:42.800 --> 01:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I just think you should know. And I said, yeah, okay,

1647
01:29:45.640 --> 01:29:49.399
<v Speaker 1>that's good intel to have. I said, how did it feel?

1648
01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>He said wet? I said wet. He was like, it

1649
01:29:53.119 --> 01:29:55.520
<v Speaker 1>felt wet. I didn't like it. I was like, okay,

1650
01:29:55.560 --> 01:29:57.520
<v Speaker 1>that's not great. I said, well, what are you going?

1651
01:29:57.600 --> 01:29:58.640
<v Speaker 1>What are we going to do about this? You know,

1652
01:29:58.680 --> 01:30:01.960
<v Speaker 1>we're instantly in occult roommate problem solving mode because neither

1653
01:30:01.960 --> 01:30:03.359
<v Speaker 1>one of us has time for that shit. We're not

1654
01:30:03.399 --> 01:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>really scared. We're just like, h no. And so he

1655
01:30:07.720 --> 01:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>goes and gets some of his his his cleansing cologne

1656
01:30:10.920 --> 01:30:13.039
<v Speaker 1>and sprints is it over the chair in the living room.

1657
01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:15.239
<v Speaker 1>And I'm trying to think to myself, like, this is spirit.

1658
01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:17.199
<v Speaker 1>I've lived in this house for almost eight years and

1659
01:30:17.359 --> 01:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't really experience any you know, problematic spirit activity

1660
01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:24.399
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, So what could this be? And

1661
01:30:24.439 --> 01:30:25.840
<v Speaker 1>then I said, I said to my room and I

1662
01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:28.319
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know, it's interesting you say wet. I said,

1663
01:30:28.319 --> 01:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>when I first moved in here, I did distinctly get

1664
01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:34.279
<v Speaker 1>the impression that somebody had died in the bathtub in

1665
01:30:34.520 --> 01:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>like the in the bathroom in the hallway. And he

1666
01:30:37.800 --> 01:30:39.800
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh shit, And I said, yeah, I said,

1667
01:30:39.800 --> 01:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>but I've never had any problem with that spirit. Like

1668
01:30:41.800 --> 01:30:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I just said to her. You know, I'm a little crazy,

1669
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.159
<v Speaker 1>so if I think there's a spirit around, I'll be like, hi,

1670
01:30:46.760 --> 01:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I need to do things. Please don't disrupt my life. Sorry,

1671
01:30:50.600 --> 01:30:52.399
<v Speaker 1>I said, yeah, me and that spirit are cool, Like,

1672
01:30:52.439 --> 01:30:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it would be causing problems. And then

1673
01:30:55.560 --> 01:30:58.319
<v Speaker 1>I remembered that the night before I had taken a

1674
01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:01.199
<v Speaker 1>bath in that bathroom where this woman I think drowned,

1675
01:31:01.840 --> 01:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>and I had forgotten to drain the bathtub. Like I

1676
01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>had been on the phone with someone and I didn't

1677
01:31:05.560 --> 01:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>want them to know I was in the bath, So

1678
01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:08.239
<v Speaker 1>like I got out of the bath and just like

1679
01:31:08.319 --> 01:31:10.119
<v Speaker 1>kept the stopper in so I didn't have the water

1680
01:31:10.159 --> 01:31:12.880
<v Speaker 1>gurgling sound. And I had left the bath full for

1681
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:15.439
<v Speaker 1>the entire day. And I was like, Oh, that's it.

1682
01:31:15.479 --> 01:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>The spirit's pissed like this, she cut.

1683
01:31:23.680 --> 01:31:24.560
<v Speaker 9>Out, She cut out.

1684
01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:27.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, she did say that she was having a

1685
01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:30.239
<v Speaker 5>bad weather there so that this might have happened.

1686
01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:35.079
<v Speaker 9>It's the magic, the spirit, it's.

1687
01:31:36.760 --> 01:31:41.199
<v Speaker 6>The water bathtub portal sucked her back in because I'm

1688
01:31:41.199 --> 01:31:46.119
<v Speaker 6>not kidding the spirit's.

1689
01:31:44.560 --> 01:31:50.479
<v Speaker 5>I wanted to ask more questions about Joseph McCarthy another.

1690
01:31:49.239 --> 01:31:55.399
<v Speaker 9>Question, Come yeah, JJ, are you really cursed?

1691
01:31:56.600 --> 01:31:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1692
01:31:59.560 --> 01:32:01.199
<v Speaker 8>And nick I wrote him a letter a couple couple

1693
01:32:01.319 --> 01:32:05.079
<v Speaker 8>of months ago. Robert the Doll, that is, wrote him

1694
01:32:05.119 --> 01:32:07.439
<v Speaker 8>a letter. Let me tell you, Julie, I can feel

1695
01:32:07.479 --> 01:32:10.159
<v Speaker 8>I can fill a long, long discussion. In the last

1696
01:32:10.159 --> 01:32:12.159
<v Speaker 8>twelve or so years, have been cursed by that damn

1697
01:32:12.239 --> 01:32:12.880
<v Speaker 8>Robert the Doll.

1698
01:32:13.279 --> 01:32:15.640
<v Speaker 4>They were talking about him on the Rejects last year.

1699
01:32:16.880 --> 01:32:19.279
<v Speaker 8>I'm out I'm out, I'm leaving this place. I'm not

1700
01:32:19.279 --> 01:32:21.159
<v Speaker 8>even going to one near this thing, and you're talking.

1701
01:32:21.039 --> 01:32:23.239
<v Speaker 7>What you do to it? You had to make it mad,

1702
01:32:23.560 --> 01:32:23.840
<v Speaker 7>did you?

1703
01:32:24.079 --> 01:32:25.880
<v Speaker 4>I took a photograph with it without asking him.

1704
01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:28.680
<v Speaker 8>Apparently you got to ask him first, And at the time,

1705
01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:30.840
<v Speaker 8>I was like, Yeah, that's ridiculous. I'm not I'm going

1706
01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:33.880
<v Speaker 8>to ask this a stupid doll. I can take a photograph.

1707
01:32:34.479 --> 01:32:41.680
<v Speaker 6>I hear what well, looking now, JJ looking out.

1708
01:32:40.079 --> 01:32:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Like this thing might be onto something here. I might

1709
01:32:42.000 --> 01:32:42.840
<v Speaker 4>be cursed.

1710
01:32:44.359 --> 01:32:47.119
<v Speaker 9>Before you took the picture, but.

1711
01:32:47.079 --> 01:32:47.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna lie to you.

1712
01:32:47.960 --> 01:32:50.840
<v Speaker 8>So like every year around it, like December first, about

1713
01:32:50.880 --> 01:32:53.199
<v Speaker 8>every year, I'd start considering. After about year five or so,

1714
01:32:53.239 --> 01:32:55.600
<v Speaker 8>I'd start considering, damn it, did that doll curse me?

1715
01:32:55.800 --> 01:32:56.000
<v Speaker 4>You know?

1716
01:32:56.079 --> 01:32:57.600
<v Speaker 8>And then around the year twelve, I was like, I'm

1717
01:32:57.600 --> 01:32:59.680
<v Speaker 8>gonna finally write that doll letter and say I'm sorry.

1718
01:33:00.119 --> 01:33:03.159
<v Speaker 7>I'm sorry.

1719
01:33:03.479 --> 01:33:05.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I hope.

1720
01:33:05.079 --> 01:33:06.920
<v Speaker 9>But imagine how that went.

1721
01:33:07.720 --> 01:33:09.920
<v Speaker 8>I don't think, well, I hope it hasn't gone well

1722
01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:11.640
<v Speaker 8>since then. I'm gonna be honest with you.

1723
01:33:11.840 --> 01:33:14.840
<v Speaker 6>It's uh, you're gonna have to go back there, Yeah,

1724
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:16.199
<v Speaker 6>face to face apology.

1725
01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:19.439
<v Speaker 10>We need to find the current Darrow who can deal

1726
01:33:19.479 --> 01:33:21.479
<v Speaker 10>with it for you, like in person.

1727
01:33:21.479 --> 01:33:21.960
<v Speaker 7>That's what's up.

1728
01:33:22.600 --> 01:33:25.039
<v Speaker 2>Then you need to go to like the doll and

1729
01:33:25.079 --> 01:33:27.159
<v Speaker 2>you have to like give him like a seven day.

1730
01:33:27.039 --> 01:33:30.279
<v Speaker 7>Candle or something the homage it. Yeah, I'm still.

1731
01:33:30.079 --> 01:33:31.880
<v Speaker 8>Writ in the Chamber of Commerce to tell them they're

1732
01:33:31.880 --> 01:33:34.560
<v Speaker 8>irresponsible for putting a haunted Kerstell out in public like

1733
01:33:34.600 --> 01:33:35.800
<v Speaker 8>that flagrantly.

1734
01:33:37.079 --> 01:33:40.520
<v Speaker 9>You need an exorcism, you need like you need, like

1735
01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:43.560
<v Speaker 9>the power of Christ compels you like that.

1736
01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:47.199
<v Speaker 7>I think we should have Jonathan do it. From the cults.

1737
01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:49.359
<v Speaker 7>Let him know, Lord have mercy.

1738
01:33:51.560 --> 01:33:56.479
<v Speaker 9>Jim though, you need to get tied down, prayed with

1739
01:33:56.680 --> 01:33:59.920
<v Speaker 9>p sue it, do all of it.

1740
01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:02.000
<v Speaker 6>You have to get naked because half the time they

1741
01:34:02.000 --> 01:34:03.920
<v Speaker 6>get naked, they rip their clothes off, you know.

1742
01:34:04.319 --> 01:34:08.520
<v Speaker 9>Oh sure, yeah, piss and ship everywhere or else desertate.

1743
01:34:09.840 --> 01:34:11.600
<v Speaker 8>I'm not sure what this is, but I'm not the

1744
01:34:11.600 --> 01:34:14.039
<v Speaker 8>first person to be cursed by Robert the Doll. The

1745
01:34:14.079 --> 01:34:16.239
<v Speaker 8>whole room that he sits in down there at this

1746
01:34:16.279 --> 01:34:18.640
<v Speaker 8>old Civil War fort where he's they've been into a

1747
01:34:18.720 --> 01:34:21.399
<v Speaker 8>museum of Robert for some reason. It sits on a

1748
01:34:21.439 --> 01:34:21.960
<v Speaker 8>mound by the.

1749
01:34:21.920 --> 01:34:24.560
<v Speaker 7>Way to curse people. By the way, to curse.

1750
01:34:24.760 --> 01:34:32.199
<v Speaker 8>Exactly, exactly intentionally. There's flagrant irresponsibles. They put him what's that?

1751
01:34:32.920 --> 01:34:35.000
<v Speaker 9>They put him on a mound, the.

1752
01:34:35.079 --> 01:34:37.239
<v Speaker 8>Well, the Civil War fort was built on top of

1753
01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:39.119
<v Speaker 8>a mound. He's inside the Civil Wars.

1754
01:34:39.960 --> 01:34:40.960
<v Speaker 7>Ah, she's back.

1755
01:34:42.279 --> 01:34:43.920
<v Speaker 9>Oh gosh, your bag.

1756
01:34:45.760 --> 01:34:46.439
<v Speaker 1>God damn it.

1757
01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:48.680
<v Speaker 9>I had at least three more.

1758
01:34:51.079 --> 01:34:53.520
<v Speaker 6>We were talking about ghosts while you were gone to

1759
01:34:54.359 --> 01:34:57.239
<v Speaker 6>but I definitely say it's because you left the water

1760
01:34:57.439 --> 01:35:01.199
<v Speaker 6>in the tub and that's a portal and you might

1761
01:35:01.239 --> 01:35:01.960
<v Speaker 6>have you know.

1762
01:35:02.479 --> 01:35:05.920
<v Speaker 12>You know one thing I summoned it?

01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:07.319

<v Speaker 5>Yes, you sound great?

1767

<v Speaker 1>Okay, sorry about that.

1768
01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:13.760
<v Speaker 7>That was weird.

1769
01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.479
<v Speaker 1>Don't talk shit about gross. I guess this lady was

1770
01:35:16.479 --> 01:35:18.159
<v Speaker 1>pissed at me and she was like, let's shut the

<v Speaker 1>whole shit down, like stop saying words about me.

1772
01:35:23.239 --> 01:35:27.359
<v Speaker 5>Denied. One thing I did want to ask you about.

1773
01:35:27.439 --> 01:35:30.520
<v Speaker 5>Uh you mentioned josephin McCarthy. Did you know about her

1774
01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:31.600
<v Speaker 5>her magical Order?

1775
01:35:33.039 --> 01:35:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I heard about it. I don't know a ton about it,

1776
01:35:35.199 --> 01:35:36.000
<v Speaker 1>but I did hear about it.

1777
01:35:36.039 --> 01:35:39.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually, uh you know, I do

1778
01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:41.239
<v Speaker 5>you know I've talked about before. I think I've even

1779
01:35:41.239 --> 01:35:43.800
<v Speaker 5>mentioned it once or twice. But you know, I have

1780
01:35:43.920 --> 01:35:46.000
<v Speaker 5>talked about tons of times that I was in the

1781
01:35:46.000 --> 01:35:49.199
<v Speaker 5>OTO and I had stopped going for a bit before

1782
01:35:49.520 --> 01:35:51.560
<v Speaker 5>COVID happened, and then I started joining in on the

1783
01:35:51.640 --> 01:35:54.439
<v Speaker 5>zoom things. And when I had stopped going for probably

1784
01:35:54.439 --> 01:35:57.640
<v Speaker 5>about like sixty eight months, I was actually using that

1785
01:35:57.760 --> 01:36:00.920
<v Speaker 5>system instead. Oh really, So when you said that was.

1786
01:36:00.840 --> 01:36:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Like, oh, did you find it? You found it to

1787
01:36:04.159 --> 01:36:06.000
<v Speaker 1>be a good workable system.

1788
01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:08.439
<v Speaker 5>I think. So it's a little bit more personal. You're

1789
01:36:08.479 --> 01:36:12.199
<v Speaker 5>not really from what I as far as I got,

1790
01:36:12.279 --> 01:36:15.560
<v Speaker 5>you're not really working with It's hard to explain like

1791
01:36:15.680 --> 01:36:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Pantheon's like gods. It's actually just very personal stuff. So

1792
01:36:19.000 --> 01:36:22.000
<v Speaker 5>that's interesting. I mean, you are doing ritual work, but

1793
01:36:22.039 --> 01:36:25.560
<v Speaker 5>it's not like I don't remember it wasn't It's it's different.

1794
01:36:25.680 --> 01:36:26.560
<v Speaker 5>It's definitely different.

1795
01:36:26.640 --> 01:36:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I like her approach a lot. I think she's

1796
01:36:29.600 --> 01:36:32.760
<v Speaker 1>a fascinating person. And if you know, if I'm sure

1797
01:36:32.760 --> 01:36:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you have, but if if anyone ever listens to her talk,

1798
01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, on podcasts or whatever, she's just a wonderful

1799
01:36:38.920 --> 01:36:41.199
<v Speaker 1>breath of fresh air in the occult world because she's

1800
01:36:41.239 --> 01:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>a you know, a slight not older woman, but she's

1801
01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think in her fifties, I believe, and

1802
01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:50.399
<v Speaker 1>she's got this like strong Northern England accent. She's just

1803
01:36:50.439 --> 01:36:52.359
<v Speaker 1>like very mad. She's very matter of fact.

1804
01:36:52.359 --> 01:36:53.880
<v Speaker 5>She's like shoots from the hip.

1805
01:36:53.960 --> 01:36:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh you know, yeah, you know, yeah, well you know.

1806
01:36:57.840 --> 01:37:01.840
<v Speaker 5>One thing she did say kind of actually helped nudge

1807
01:37:01.880 --> 01:37:04.279
<v Speaker 5>me out of the OTO in a sense too. Uh.

1808
01:37:04.359 --> 01:37:06.199
<v Speaker 5>And it's not that like I'm promoting her stuff because

1809
01:37:06.199 --> 01:37:09.479
<v Speaker 5>again I used, you know, very did very little. She

1810
01:37:09.520 --> 01:37:11.399
<v Speaker 5>even says to go through the whole course expect I

1811
01:37:11.439 --> 01:37:14.479
<v Speaker 5>think seventeenth to twenty years. So obviously I didn't do much.

1812
01:37:15.439 --> 01:37:18.079
<v Speaker 5>But uh, she the way she had put it, and

1813
01:37:18.199 --> 01:37:20.680
<v Speaker 5>it really dawned on me, like really good when she

1814
01:37:20.720 --> 01:37:22.560
<v Speaker 5>said this. One time, I was listening to a podcast

1815
01:37:22.560 --> 01:37:25.000
<v Speaker 5>that she did, and she did say that when you

1816
01:37:25.039 --> 01:37:26.960
<v Speaker 5>go to these orders, they said, all you're gonna do

1817
01:37:27.039 --> 01:37:30.640
<v Speaker 5>is get their their shade of magic. She says, let's

1818
01:37:30.640 --> 01:37:34.880
<v Speaker 5>say the outlet is actual magic, and well you're tapping

1819
01:37:34.880 --> 01:37:36.760
<v Speaker 5>into that, and then it comes to that light bulb.

1820
01:37:36.880 --> 01:37:39.479
<v Speaker 5>She says once like the OTO is like throwing that

1821
01:37:39.479 --> 01:37:42.319
<v Speaker 5>red shade on top of it. That's the OTO. Then

1822
01:37:42.319 --> 01:37:45.119
<v Speaker 5>like let's say, the gold Ones, the Golden don you

1823
01:37:45.159 --> 01:37:47.399
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying, You're not actually really tapping into

1824
01:37:47.399 --> 01:37:49.960
<v Speaker 5>the source, You're just learning to tap into their shade

1825
01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:53.039
<v Speaker 5>of magic. She says, I think it's much better for

1826
01:37:53.079 --> 01:37:55.399
<v Speaker 5>you to just go to the source. And she said

1827
01:37:55.399 --> 01:37:57.479
<v Speaker 5>that's what she thought. It still goes for.

1828
01:37:58.199 --> 01:37:59.439
<v Speaker 2>That's really profound out.

1829
01:37:59.560 --> 01:38:01.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, when I heard that, I was like, that's interesting,

1830
01:38:01.439 --> 01:38:03.079
<v Speaker 5>I said, because I could see what you know, how

1831
01:38:03.119 --> 01:38:06.680
<v Speaker 5>you because there's there is a specific idea with the

1832
01:38:06.720 --> 01:38:09.439
<v Speaker 5>O T or other orders. They have their own pantheons

1833
01:38:09.439 --> 01:38:12.359
<v Speaker 5>and their own like ideas are almost religious text.

1834
01:38:12.720 --> 01:38:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1835
01:38:14.399 --> 01:38:18.319
<v Speaker 9>Does this lady do distant exorcisms? Because I think JJ

1836
01:38:18.479 --> 01:38:20.119
<v Speaker 9>needs one.

1837
01:38:21.319 --> 01:38:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I think she's retired now. Unfortunately, I think I wrote.

1838
01:38:24.840 --> 01:38:29.520
<v Speaker 9>About you, Celeste. Do you do any distant exorcisms?

1839
01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Most of the magic I do for clients is distance.

1840
01:38:33.319 --> 01:38:38.119
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, you know.

1841
01:38:37.279 --> 01:38:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Robert some Robert the Dall Exorcist. You know, you know

1842
01:38:40.760 --> 01:38:42.039
<v Speaker 4>some some players can help me out.

1843
01:38:42.600 --> 01:38:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we could. I feel like we could

1844
01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:46.720
<v Speaker 1>figure something out. Robert the still bothering you all these

1845
01:38:46.800 --> 01:38:47.279
<v Speaker 1>years later.

1846
01:38:48.520 --> 01:38:50.680
<v Speaker 4>You wouldn't believe, You wouldn't believe the tales if I told.

1847
01:38:50.520 --> 01:38:57.000
<v Speaker 9>You he would he's being totally serious, Nick, Nick heard

1848
01:38:57.039 --> 01:38:58.880
<v Speaker 9>of a portion of what I've gone through over the

1849
01:38:58.960 --> 01:39:00.399
<v Speaker 9>last twelve I.

1850
01:39:00.359 --> 01:39:01.960
<v Speaker 5>Was even gonna say, just in the time that I've

1851
01:39:02.000 --> 01:39:04.479
<v Speaker 5>known him, I could probably say he's probably.

1852
01:39:08.239 --> 01:39:08.800
<v Speaker 7>Your curse.

1853
01:39:09.439 --> 01:39:10.039
<v Speaker 9>He needs to.

1854
01:39:12.039 --> 01:39:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I got to hook him up with that Saint

1855
01:39:13.880 --> 01:39:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Cyprian stuff.

1856
01:39:15.159 --> 01:39:19.479
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, there you go. On the case, we'll do it.

1857
01:39:19.720 --> 01:39:22.319
<v Speaker 9>So I have a question for a celest I mean,

1858
01:39:22.479 --> 01:39:25.000
<v Speaker 9>obviously I don't I don't deal in any of this stuff,

1859
01:39:25.039 --> 01:39:29.159
<v Speaker 9>but in your opinion, you know, magic is real, magic works,

1860
01:39:30.399 --> 01:39:32.479
<v Speaker 9>but not everybody knows what they're doing.

1861
01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yep, that's okay.

1862
01:39:36.560 --> 01:39:40.600
<v Speaker 6>Well, yeah, certain magic like we've talked about before, solomonic

1863
01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:42.960
<v Speaker 6>magic and stuff you got. You can't be messing around

1864
01:39:43.319 --> 01:39:46.359
<v Speaker 6>like you will, yeah, talk about.

1865
01:39:46.239 --> 01:39:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Because because it's very because it is very real, and

1866
01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I think, like obviously everybody's going to have their own

1867
01:39:54.600 --> 01:39:57.520
<v Speaker 1>take on that and their own experiences. And like I said,

1868
01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:00.479
<v Speaker 1>my my own partner is extremely suppor sort of what

1869
01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:02.640
<v Speaker 1>I do and interested and wants to hear about it.

1870
01:40:02.680 --> 01:40:05.760
<v Speaker 1>But like he has such a I don't want to

1871
01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:07.680
<v Speaker 1>call it a black and white worldview because that's not fair,

1872
01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:11.479
<v Speaker 1>but it is such a pragmatic worldview that what interests

1873
01:40:11.520 --> 01:40:13.720
<v Speaker 1>him is data. He's like a big data science guy,

1874
01:40:13.760 --> 01:40:16.399
<v Speaker 1>and that's mysticism to him is like data and facts

1875
01:40:16.439 --> 01:40:20.039
<v Speaker 1>and numbers. Stuff that flies over my head right, like,

1876
01:40:20.119 --> 01:40:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand name that. Yeah, that he's magic.

1877
01:40:24.520 --> 01:40:27.800
<v Speaker 7>Johnny says that numbers are God's language.

1878
01:40:27.399 --> 01:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>So exactly exactly, so you know, my partner and we

1879
01:40:31.279 --> 01:40:34.000
<v Speaker 1>meet in the middle because he is, whether he wants

1880
01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to admit it or not, a very mystical person. He's

1881
01:40:35.920 --> 01:40:38.359
<v Speaker 1>just coming at it from this different angle. But all

1882
01:40:38.399 --> 01:40:44.199
<v Speaker 1>of this to say the question of like, is magic real?

1883
01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's very real to me. And I've seen

1884
01:40:48.000 --> 01:40:52.199
<v Speaker 1>things happen because of magic and as a result of

1885
01:40:52.239 --> 01:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>magic that I really can't explain otherwise. And I think,

1886
01:40:56.039 --> 01:40:59.319
<v Speaker 1>but I think that some people who engage in the

1887
01:40:59.319 --> 01:41:02.159
<v Speaker 1>occult or dabble I hate to use that word because

1888
01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:04.199
<v Speaker 1>it feels a bit dismissive, but like dabble in witchcraft

1889
01:41:04.279 --> 01:41:06.600
<v Speaker 1>or debt. You know people who see rituals on the

1890
01:41:06.600 --> 01:41:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Internet and they're like, oh, you know, I'll summon this

1891
01:41:08.880 --> 01:41:11.439
<v Speaker 1>solomonic demon that sounds like a fun time. It's not

1892
01:41:11.520 --> 01:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a fun time. I do it.

1893
01:41:15.119 --> 01:41:17.720
<v Speaker 9>It doesn't sound like a fun time to me. I mean,

1894
01:41:17.760 --> 01:41:19.800
<v Speaker 9>were you are scared getting into this?

1895
01:41:20.119 --> 01:41:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've been scared so much.

1896
01:41:22.119 --> 01:41:24.680
<v Speaker 9>Oh my god, Oh thank you for being honest. By

1897
01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:25.239
<v Speaker 9>the way.

1898
01:41:25.560 --> 01:41:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, I think it's important to talk about. I

1899
01:41:28.960 --> 01:41:31.720
<v Speaker 1>will say when I first got, you know, involved with

1900
01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:35.079
<v Speaker 1>magic and witchcraft, I wasn't scared at all. But then

1901
01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:38.680
<v Speaker 1>early twenty twenty, after I had been doing this already

1902
01:41:38.680 --> 01:41:42.159
<v Speaker 1>for like a long time, I had my ass handed

1903
01:41:42.159 --> 01:41:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to me in a way that was terrifying to the

1904
01:41:45.640 --> 01:41:48.640
<v Speaker 1>point where like, after I came through that experience, I

1905
01:41:48.840 --> 01:41:51.920
<v Speaker 1>was like this close to throwing out all my shit,

1906
01:41:52.760 --> 01:41:55.479
<v Speaker 1>getting rid of all my books and being like that's

1907
01:41:55.520 --> 01:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>it for me, because that got a little too real.

1908
01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:02.239
<v Speaker 6>I think that you're smarter now because I will say this,

1909
01:42:02.439 --> 01:42:05.119
<v Speaker 6>I'm a nurse as well, like a registered nurse, and

1910
01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:07.640
<v Speaker 6>the most scary thing we ever see as a nurse

1911
01:42:07.680 --> 01:42:10.439
<v Speaker 6>that thinks she knows everything right, and like you're you're

1912
01:42:10.439 --> 01:42:13.800
<v Speaker 6>a better nurse if you don't really know everything and

1913
01:42:13.840 --> 01:42:15.079
<v Speaker 6>you're willing to ask for help.

1914
01:42:15.159 --> 01:42:19.239
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, absolutely, you were like you were like having

1915
01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:25.760
<v Speaker 9>scary like like demons or ghosts or I had.

1916
01:42:25.640 --> 01:42:30.479
<v Speaker 1>An experience with a spirit and I had been you know,

1917
01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know if it's close to

1918
01:42:31.960 --> 01:42:34.119
<v Speaker 1>what JJ has has been through. But I was having

1919
01:42:34.159 --> 01:42:39.039
<v Speaker 1>some experiences that there was just a little bit too

1920
01:42:39.159 --> 01:42:42.479
<v Speaker 1>many bad things clustering in a short space of time.

1921
01:42:42.520 --> 01:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm again very much a skeptic. I'm like, Okay,

1922
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:47.920
<v Speaker 1>bad things happen, you know, sometimes you're just gonna have

1923
01:42:47.920 --> 01:42:49.840
<v Speaker 1>bad day. Your car is going to break down, a

1924
01:42:49.880 --> 01:42:51.520
<v Speaker 1>family member is going to get hurt, like it just

1925
01:42:51.560 --> 01:42:56.039
<v Speaker 1>happens's life. But if too many of those things cluster

1926
01:42:56.119 --> 01:42:59.239
<v Speaker 1>in a small space of time, for me with my worldview,

1927
01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, hmm, okay. And so I had done what

1928
01:43:03.720 --> 01:43:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I usually do in those situations, which was I had,

1929
01:43:06.039 --> 01:43:08.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, done a ritual to just kind of cleanse

1930
01:43:08.279 --> 01:43:10.279
<v Speaker 1>myself in my space and get rid of any ick

1931
01:43:10.520 --> 01:43:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that was floating around. And when I did that, the

1932
01:43:13.640 --> 01:43:16.600
<v Speaker 1>candle I was burning went completely black. It was you know,

1933
01:43:17.000 --> 01:43:20.680
<v Speaker 1>a glass jar candle, and in candle magic candle divination,

1934
01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:22.800
<v Speaker 1>if you're burning something and it goes all the way

1935
01:43:22.840 --> 01:43:26.000
<v Speaker 1>down black soot, that is not a good sign. And

1936
01:43:26.119 --> 01:43:28.920
<v Speaker 1>halfway through it burning down, the candle exploded and then

1937
01:43:28.960 --> 01:43:32.600
<v Speaker 1>nearly burned down the room that I was burning it in.

1938
01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:37.239
<v Speaker 1>So at that point I was like, something's up. That's

1939
01:43:37.279 --> 01:43:39.880
<v Speaker 1>not good, And I talked to a couple of friends

1940
01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:42.600
<v Speaker 1>of mine and some mentors about what could be going on,

1941
01:43:43.680 --> 01:43:50.279
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, let's go rounds with Robert. Will live stream it?

1942
01:43:54.640 --> 01:43:58.239
<v Speaker 9>Please please live stream it. Oh, I want to be

1943
01:43:58.279 --> 01:44:00.760
<v Speaker 9>a part of it. I will sit out too.

1944
01:44:01.359 --> 01:44:04.079
<v Speaker 4>I probably I don't want to go anywhere near that.

1945
01:44:04.119 --> 01:44:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Damn, a ghost just turned off my entire ass computer

1946
01:44:08.600 --> 01:44:10.640
<v Speaker 1>set up. I probably shouldn't be so ballsy like, yeah,

1947
01:44:10.680 --> 01:44:14.359
<v Speaker 1>let's go, let's take down Robert. But anyway, what happened

1948
01:44:14.520 --> 01:44:17.439
<v Speaker 1>was at that point I asked friends for their thoughts.

1949
01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:19.560
<v Speaker 1>This is something that I will say if anyone is

1950
01:44:19.600 --> 01:44:23.520
<v Speaker 1>a practitioner or they want to be a practitioner, get

1951
01:44:23.560 --> 01:44:27.239
<v Speaker 1>yourself a tight group of occultist friends that you trust,

1952
01:44:27.399 --> 01:44:30.359
<v Speaker 1>who you can turn to if you're having an experience,

1953
01:44:30.399 --> 01:44:33.680
<v Speaker 1>whether it's a dream or weird stuff happening in your life,

1954
01:44:33.800 --> 01:44:36.800
<v Speaker 1>or you think you're seeing a spirit. It's so important

1955
01:44:36.800 --> 01:44:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to be discerning because sometimes it's just you and you're tired,

1956
01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and you're paranoid and your head's all fucked up. So

1957
01:44:42.079 --> 01:44:44.600
<v Speaker 1>get people you trust that you can talk to who

1958
01:44:44.640 --> 01:44:47.680
<v Speaker 1>can check for you and just be a little bit

1959
01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:50.399
<v Speaker 1>of a grounding influence. But very sadly in this instance,

1960
01:44:50.439 --> 01:44:52.840
<v Speaker 1>my friend was kind of looking into it for me

1961
01:44:52.880 --> 01:44:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and he said, oh no, there's definitely summons up. There's

1962
01:44:55.640 --> 01:44:57.840
<v Speaker 1>something around you or in your house or you know,

1963
01:44:57.880 --> 01:45:02.039
<v Speaker 1>you got to get rid of it. So he gave

1964
01:45:02.119 --> 01:45:05.880
<v Speaker 1>me his recommendation of what kind of ritual I should

1965
01:45:05.920 --> 01:45:08.079
<v Speaker 1>do to really deal with this thing. And basically it

1966
01:45:08.119 --> 01:45:11.800
<v Speaker 1>was a it's called a spirit trap ritual. We kind

1967
01:45:11.800 --> 01:45:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of my friend's a conjure man, so it was kind

1968
01:45:14.560 --> 01:45:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of in this folk conjure pop gaetia part other. We

1969
01:45:19.560 --> 01:45:21.119
<v Speaker 1>weren't so many any demons to do it, but it

1970
01:45:21.159 --> 01:45:24.159
<v Speaker 1>was sort of a solomonic folk magic ritual to get

1971
01:45:24.319 --> 01:45:25.039
<v Speaker 1>deal with the spirit.

1972
01:45:25.399 --> 01:45:28.119
<v Speaker 5>To say, well, is in solomonic magic you are trying

1973
01:45:28.119 --> 01:45:29.960
<v Speaker 5>to trap a demon into a specific.

1974
01:45:29.640 --> 01:45:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're trying to bind bind the spirit. And so

1975
01:45:32.800 --> 01:45:35.399
<v Speaker 1>we used this right or I use this right to

1976
01:45:35.439 --> 01:45:37.359
<v Speaker 1>do it. He told me all the steps to do.

1977
01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I got everything ready and the ritual involved. You know,

1978
01:45:41.560 --> 01:45:45.159
<v Speaker 1>it used planetary hours. If anyone watching or I'm sure

1979
01:45:45.199 --> 01:45:47.119
<v Speaker 1>somebody y'all on the call have done it. But if

1980
01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you're using like planetary magic, it's very specific timing wise.

1981
01:45:50.720 --> 01:45:52.279
<v Speaker 1>You've got to be up at a certain time down

1982
01:45:52.359 --> 01:45:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to the minute to call on certain energies and certain spirits.

1983
01:45:56.560 --> 01:45:59.319
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, I prep everything, I get it all organized.

1984
01:46:00.279 --> 01:46:02.119
<v Speaker 1>This was quite a few years ago. I told my

1985
01:46:02.159 --> 01:46:04.479
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend at the time, like, don't worry about me tomorrow.

1986
01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Just ignore me. I'm going to be doing some stuff.

1987
01:46:06.359 --> 01:46:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Just live your life. If I'm chanting in a room,

1988
01:46:10.039 --> 01:46:14.680
<v Speaker 1>don't worry about it. And the morning that I was

1989
01:46:14.720 --> 01:46:16.079
<v Speaker 1>due to do this, I think I had to start

1990
01:46:16.079 --> 01:46:20.199
<v Speaker 1>at five am. I woke up in the worst pain

1991
01:46:20.239 --> 01:46:24.960
<v Speaker 1>of my life and I had like eleven out of

1992
01:46:25.000 --> 01:46:28.119
<v Speaker 1>ten GI pain. I was like, not I'm going to

1993
01:46:28.159 --> 01:46:30.520
<v Speaker 1>be an elegant. I was shitting my brains out.

1994
01:46:30.560 --> 01:46:38.119
<v Speaker 11>I was showing like stoic knew it, and I I

1995
01:46:38.239 --> 01:46:42.880
<v Speaker 11>was oscillating between like the bathtub and the toilet and

1996
01:46:42.920 --> 01:46:44.720
<v Speaker 11>then trying to get like because I had to do

1997
01:46:44.760 --> 01:46:46.640
<v Speaker 11>shit on the hour every hour for this ritual.

1998
01:46:46.640 --> 01:46:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And I remember messaging with my friend and being like,

1999
01:46:49.479 --> 01:46:53.199
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm dying, Like I am in so much pain,

2000
01:46:55.359 --> 01:46:59.159
<v Speaker 1>can I can't stop shitting? Like what I had finish

2001
01:46:59.239 --> 01:47:02.600
<v Speaker 1>this ritual and he was like, well, yeah, the spirit

2002
01:47:02.640 --> 01:47:04.199
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want to go and it's pissed at you. And

2003
01:47:04.239 --> 01:47:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I was like, fantastic, Well I might have to go

2004
01:47:07.039 --> 01:47:08.960
<v Speaker 1>to a hospital, Like what do you recommend I do here?

2005
01:47:09.000 --> 01:47:10.319
<v Speaker 1>And he was like, you just got to get it done.

2006
01:47:10.960 --> 01:47:13.319
<v Speaker 1>You just got you cannot stop doing it now. My

2007
01:47:13.439 --> 01:47:16.319
<v Speaker 1>partner was like, witness My then partner was witnessing this

2008
01:47:16.359 --> 01:47:19.800
<v Speaker 1>all and being like you look like shit. Like I

2009
01:47:19.840 --> 01:47:23.159
<v Speaker 1>was running a fever, I couldn't walk. My partner at

2010
01:47:23.159 --> 01:47:25.439
<v Speaker 1>the time was like, you have to go to a hospital,

2011
01:47:25.880 --> 01:47:29.399
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, no, I have to finish chanting

2012
01:47:29.479 --> 01:47:30.039
<v Speaker 1>to Saturn.

2013
01:47:31.239 --> 01:47:33.600
<v Speaker 6>You say, you know, if I don't finish this, we're

2014
01:47:33.600 --> 01:47:35.960
<v Speaker 6>gonna have locknest monster in the bathtub.

2015
01:47:36.079 --> 01:47:37.119
<v Speaker 7>Listen, We're gonna have.

2016
01:47:37.079 --> 01:47:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Worse problems than me shitting my pants if you don't

2017
01:47:39.479 --> 01:47:40.560
<v Speaker 1>go back to bed and shut.

2018
01:47:40.439 --> 01:47:43.319
<v Speaker 9>Up and shooting your pants is definitely a fucking problem.

2019
01:47:43.439 --> 01:47:46.680
<v Speaker 9>It's a problem. I'm in there, yeah, crying out the

2020
01:47:46.760 --> 01:47:49.920
<v Speaker 9>ass like that. It's not it's not no.

2021
01:47:51.520 --> 01:47:54.079
<v Speaker 5>Serious, I know it happens.

2022
01:47:55.159 --> 01:47:58.439
<v Speaker 1>I do not recommend the colonoscopy by spirit. It's like not.

2023
01:47:58.439 --> 01:48:05.520
<v Speaker 5>As Yeah, it's like air.

2024
01:48:06.880 --> 01:48:09.880
<v Speaker 7>But I'm done, right, So I finished colonoscopy.

2025
01:48:10.119 --> 01:48:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Go to colonoscopy will be the title of autobiography. My god.

2026
01:48:15.800 --> 01:48:18.079
<v Speaker 1>So but I did it. I finished it. It got done.

2027
01:48:18.119 --> 01:48:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it took. It was about a twelve hour process,

2028
01:48:20.600 --> 01:48:22.520
<v Speaker 1>like on the hour, every hour. I somehow managed to

2029
01:48:22.600 --> 01:48:27.239
<v Speaker 1>like force myself through it. And at the end of

2030
01:48:27.359 --> 01:48:31.399
<v Speaker 1>that process, like literally the moment I finished that last

2031
01:48:31.439 --> 01:48:33.359
<v Speaker 1>chant and I sealed this jar and it was all

2032
01:48:33.399 --> 01:48:39.359
<v Speaker 1>done fine physically fine wow, And I put it out

2033
01:48:39.359 --> 01:48:40.600
<v Speaker 1>in the garden, which was you know. I was like,

2034
01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:42.439
<v Speaker 1>what do I do with this fucking jar at this point?

2035
01:48:42.479 --> 01:48:44.600
<v Speaker 1>And my friend was like, okay, well, you're gonna want

2036
01:48:44.600 --> 01:48:46.560
<v Speaker 1>to put it obviously away from your house. And I said,

2037
01:48:46.560 --> 01:48:47.800
<v Speaker 1>but how am I going to know if it worked?

2038
01:48:47.920 --> 01:48:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, should have been obvious at the point in

2039
01:48:49.960 --> 01:48:52.239
<v Speaker 1>time that I was no longer extremely unwell that it

2040
01:48:52.239 --> 01:48:53.399
<v Speaker 1>had worked. But I was like, how do I know?

2041
01:48:53.399 --> 01:48:54.640
<v Speaker 1>How do I know what's in here? I don't know?

2042
01:48:56.680 --> 01:48:58.359
<v Speaker 1>And my friend said, You're just You're just gonna know.

2043
01:48:58.439 --> 01:48:59.920
<v Speaker 1>You're just gonna know. So you hear this a lot

2044
01:49:00.159 --> 01:49:02.640
<v Speaker 1>from other people in the occult when you're first like

2045
01:49:02.680 --> 01:49:04.920
<v Speaker 1>really learning serious magic. Oh, you're just going to know.

2046
01:49:04.960 --> 01:49:06.920
<v Speaker 1>It's such an annoying thing to hear. It's like, what

2047
01:49:06.960 --> 01:49:09.960
<v Speaker 1>do you mean, I'm just gonna know, fuck you. Anyway.

2048
01:49:10.239 --> 01:49:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I put it in my front yard, where at the

2049
01:49:13.039 --> 01:49:15.880
<v Speaker 1>time I had this gigantic catnet bush that was just

2050
01:49:15.920 --> 01:49:18.520
<v Speaker 1>growing all over the yard. I mean, catnip is a mint,

2051
01:49:18.560 --> 01:49:21.119
<v Speaker 1>it takes over everything, grows like a weed, and this

2052
01:49:21.159 --> 01:49:24.760
<v Speaker 1>plant was very robust, and three days later the entire

2053
01:49:24.840 --> 01:49:27.880
<v Speaker 1>plant had died. The whole thing was dead, and I

2054
01:49:27.920 --> 01:49:32.439
<v Speaker 1>was like, well, wow, that worked, I guess, but it

2055
01:49:32.479 --> 01:49:35.359
<v Speaker 1>was terrifying. It was a terrifying experience, and not because

2056
01:49:35.399 --> 01:49:39.920
<v Speaker 1>anything spooky supernatural was happening, like things weren't appearing to

2057
01:49:39.960 --> 01:49:44.079
<v Speaker 1>me or like being spooky, but the toll that it

2058
01:49:44.119 --> 01:49:46.720
<v Speaker 1>had taken on my physical body, which you know, if

2059
01:49:46.720 --> 01:49:48.520
<v Speaker 1>you're a science minded person you can say, well, that's

2060
01:49:48.560 --> 01:49:50.920
<v Speaker 1>probably just totally totally coincidence, like bitch, you write too

2061
01:49:50.960 --> 01:49:54.199
<v Speaker 1>much taco bell, like that's what's going on there, right,

2062
01:49:54.439 --> 01:50:00.920
<v Speaker 1>like not like uh, And it was horrifying, horrifying, and

2063
01:50:00.960 --> 01:50:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I very nearly because apparently this spirit had no way

2064
01:50:05.600 --> 01:50:08.399
<v Speaker 1>ill intent, It wasn't trying to fuck me up. Apparently

2065
01:50:08.399 --> 01:50:11.680
<v Speaker 1>this was literally just a spirit that was ambiently around

2066
01:50:12.199 --> 01:50:14.079
<v Speaker 1>and that had noticed me and was like, oh, there's

2067
01:50:14.119 --> 01:50:18.199
<v Speaker 1>a witch. I'll just say hi, you know, and I'll

2068
01:50:18.199 --> 01:50:20.720
<v Speaker 1>just say hi in a way that starts ruining her life,

2069
01:50:20.720 --> 01:50:22.239
<v Speaker 1>because that's a good way to get attention.

2070
01:50:23.159 --> 01:50:25.880
<v Speaker 6>Oh and the energy, I mean, even if they don't

2071
01:50:25.920 --> 01:50:28.399
<v Speaker 6>mean to, they're going to suck some suck some blood,

2072
01:50:28.479 --> 01:50:30.079
<v Speaker 6>right if we want to go vampiric.

2073
01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Yep. And that's why that was my very hard one

2074
01:50:33.319 --> 01:50:36.039
<v Speaker 1>lesson of here's how we have good spiritual boundaries and

2075
01:50:36.119 --> 01:50:40.680
<v Speaker 1>good spiritual cleanliness. But yeah, I very nearly threw in

2076
01:50:40.720 --> 01:50:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the towel at that point.

2077
01:50:41.960 --> 01:50:45.840
<v Speaker 9>So you live in New Orleans obviously, Okay, Yeah, I

2078
01:50:45.840 --> 01:50:48.000
<v Speaker 9>mean I feel like I've been there a few times.

2079
01:50:48.199 --> 01:50:50.279
<v Speaker 9>I just feel like it's a haunted place to live.

2080
01:50:50.760 --> 01:50:54.920
<v Speaker 9>Oh yeah, to be honest with you, I mean you're

2081
01:50:54.920 --> 01:50:57.680
<v Speaker 9>saying like something could have happened in that place before

2082
01:50:57.720 --> 01:51:00.279
<v Speaker 9>you moved in, or something like that. I'll a lot

2083
01:51:00.319 --> 01:51:03.119
<v Speaker 9>of the places, like even driving by them, I would

2084
01:51:03.159 --> 01:51:06.159
<v Speaker 9>be like, gosh, this just gives me the he begbis

2085
01:51:06.359 --> 01:51:10.159
<v Speaker 9>like it's a haunted kind of creepy dark place.

2086
01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:13.439
<v Speaker 1>There's there's a lot of energy here. I think I

2087
01:51:13.479 --> 01:51:15.199
<v Speaker 1>mean the place that I live in. I'm not down

2088
01:51:15.279 --> 01:51:18.079
<v Speaker 1>like in the French Quarter or anything, because your girl

2089
01:51:18.319 --> 01:51:20.680
<v Speaker 1>does not make that kind of psychic money. I'm not

2090
01:51:21.199 --> 01:51:23.279
<v Speaker 1>angry yet, so I'm not you know, like I'm not

2091
01:51:23.399 --> 01:51:26.199
<v Speaker 1>raking it in. But you know, I live in a

2092
01:51:26.239 --> 01:51:30.199
<v Speaker 1>house on the outskirts of Orleans Paris, so I'm still

2093
01:51:30.199 --> 01:51:32.760
<v Speaker 1>technically in New Orleans, but it's more the suburbs. My

2094
01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:36.319
<v Speaker 1>house was built in like nineteen sixty three, I think

2095
01:51:36.520 --> 01:51:39.840
<v Speaker 1>nineteen nineteen fifty nineteen fifty three, so it's not like

2096
01:51:39.960 --> 01:51:43.600
<v Speaker 1>old old history, haunty. But yeah, New Orleans is just

2097
01:51:43.640 --> 01:51:47.079
<v Speaker 1>a place with a lot of energy, spirits and also

2098
01:51:47.319 --> 01:51:48.279
<v Speaker 1>just like I.

2099
01:51:48.199 --> 01:51:51.560
<v Speaker 9>Mean Hurricane to Trina stuff about to say the like,

2100
01:51:51.760 --> 01:51:55.119
<v Speaker 9>I mean, yeah, even if you don't live right in

2101
01:51:55.119 --> 01:51:57.880
<v Speaker 9>the quarter, I just I feel like with all that

2102
01:51:58.079 --> 01:52:04.000
<v Speaker 9>energy that even came through with that is kind of wild.

2103
01:52:04.079 --> 01:52:07.000
<v Speaker 9>But patty and angry. It's funny you mentioned her. I

2104
01:52:07.000 --> 01:52:08.800
<v Speaker 9>don't know if anybody else knows who that is, but

2105
01:52:08.840 --> 01:52:12.920
<v Speaker 9>that's the one they always get on ghost adventures. Do

2106
01:52:12.960 --> 01:52:15.800
<v Speaker 9>you know who I'm talking about? It's this, It's the

2107
01:52:15.880 --> 01:52:18.920
<v Speaker 9>one lady they're always consulting.

2108
01:52:18.680 --> 01:52:19.920
<v Speaker 12>On ghost adventures.

2109
01:52:19.960 --> 01:52:22.560
<v Speaker 9>When they call in a psychic, that's that's who she's

2110
01:52:22.600 --> 01:52:24.359
<v Speaker 9>talking about.

2111
01:52:25.439 --> 01:52:27.760
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know that she's extremely wealthy. I just

2112
01:52:27.840 --> 01:52:28.720
<v Speaker 1>assume that she is.

2113
01:52:30.000 --> 01:52:33.800
<v Speaker 9>She is too, Yeah, they're always calling her in, and

2114
01:52:33.840 --> 01:52:36.920
<v Speaker 9>I almost don't feel like she's very good on the episodes.

2115
01:52:36.960 --> 01:52:39.680
<v Speaker 9>It's like she walks in there and she just says

2116
01:52:39.720 --> 01:52:42.479
<v Speaker 9>some real vague generalities, and it's like, why didn't you

2117
01:52:42.680 --> 01:52:45.239
<v Speaker 9>freaking hire me to do that? I go in there

2118
01:52:45.239 --> 01:52:46.479
<v Speaker 9>and tell you more than she get.

2119
01:52:46.880 --> 01:52:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Not.

2120
01:52:47.119 --> 01:52:47.680
<v Speaker 9>I'm not sure.

2121
01:52:50.840 --> 01:52:54.680
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean, I think celebrity celebrity psychics and celebrity

2122
01:52:55.800 --> 01:52:59.199
<v Speaker 1>occultists are their whole own thing, you know. And I mean, God,

2123
01:52:59.319 --> 01:53:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't want my have to get me into trouble

2124
01:53:01.039 --> 01:53:05.960
<v Speaker 1>this evening, so let's not it's not. But yeah, I

2125
01:53:06.000 --> 01:53:08.880
<v Speaker 1>mean that's the other thing I think. Any it's not

2126
01:53:08.960 --> 01:53:12.279
<v Speaker 1>that they aren't legit people who become public figures and

2127
01:53:12.680 --> 01:53:15.720
<v Speaker 1>do things. But I think the nature of media also

2128
01:53:16.000 --> 01:53:19.640
<v Speaker 1>is that the legit stuff doesn't really sell.

2129
01:53:20.119 --> 01:53:24.520
<v Speaker 6>Like I know, you know, Yeah, there's magicians that have

2130
01:53:24.640 --> 01:53:27.920
<v Speaker 6>rabbits and hats, and then there's magicians yeah and they

2131
01:53:27.960 --> 01:53:30.960
<v Speaker 6>both yeah.

2132
01:53:30.199 --> 01:53:36.079
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody said something about glittering generalities. One

2133
01:53:36.159 --> 01:53:39.600
<v Speaker 9>of my favorite logical fallacies. Well, it's like they get

2134
01:53:39.640 --> 01:53:43.359
<v Speaker 9>in there and she's like, oh my next burning you know,

2135
01:53:43.479 --> 01:53:45.359
<v Speaker 9>she'll like scratch it real quick. Oh look at this

2136
01:53:45.439 --> 01:53:50.279
<v Speaker 9>scratch on my neck. Come on, Pattie, did you have

2137
01:53:50.319 --> 01:53:50.680
<v Speaker 9>a mother?

2138
01:53:51.399 --> 01:53:54.319
<v Speaker 7>Did you have a mother? I think you had a mother.

2139
01:53:55.520 --> 01:53:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, somebody in your family was a smoker.

2140
01:53:59.039 --> 01:54:03.960
<v Speaker 9>It's like, yeah, okay, yeah, all of a masshole, narrow

2141
01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:13.000
<v Speaker 9>it down something like that. Yes, I feel like someone

2142
01:54:13.159 --> 01:54:22.800
<v Speaker 9>you know, mother, father, grandmother, maybe Caucasianian. How would you guess?

2143
01:54:26.199 --> 01:54:28.800
<v Speaker 9>I'm not obviously celest I'm not making fun of me.

2144
01:54:28.920 --> 01:54:30.640
<v Speaker 1>No, No, I don't feel that way at all. I

2145
01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:34.640
<v Speaker 1>just similar similar feelings.

2146
01:54:34.840 --> 01:54:37.640
<v Speaker 9>Yes, I have a friend. Actually, her name's Whitney. You

2147
01:54:37.760 --> 01:54:42.159
<v Speaker 9>guys may know her, Whitney Fox. Uh, she's the she's

2148
01:54:42.199 --> 01:54:47.319
<v Speaker 9>the real deal. She's a really cool lady. And uh yeah,

2149
01:54:47.359 --> 01:54:49.319
<v Speaker 9>I just I feel like people who actually have a

2150
01:54:49.439 --> 01:54:54.279
<v Speaker 9>talent for it, they're not they're not on ghost adventures, they're.

2151
01:54:54.159 --> 01:54:55.720
<v Speaker 4>Not you know, So.

2152
01:54:58.119 --> 01:55:01.319
<v Speaker 1>No, I agree. I mean, I think it's also possible

2153
01:55:01.359 --> 01:55:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that some of these people who become like big media figures,

2154
01:55:06.319 --> 01:55:08.920
<v Speaker 1>not to single out Patty, but folks in that in

2155
01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:11.520
<v Speaker 1>that Wheelhouse. I think sometimes, you know, maybe there is

2156
01:55:11.600 --> 01:55:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a legitimate skill and a talent and a gift there,

2157
01:55:15.640 --> 01:55:18.159
<v Speaker 1>but once you have to do it once a week

2158
01:55:18.239 --> 01:55:20.720
<v Speaker 1>on television with with fucking I don't even know who

2159
01:55:20.840 --> 01:55:22.920
<v Speaker 1>who is on Ghost Adventures at zach Bag and whoever.

2160
01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:25.399
<v Speaker 1>It is like you know, some like backwards baseball cap

2161
01:55:25.439 --> 01:55:27.600
<v Speaker 1>looking ass go toe guy being.

2162
01:55:27.560 --> 01:55:29.439
<v Speaker 4>Like the Ghost House.

2163
01:55:29.600 --> 01:55:31.119
<v Speaker 6>You know, did you hear that?

2164
01:55:31.560 --> 01:55:32.279
<v Speaker 7>Did you hear that?

2165
01:55:32.800 --> 01:55:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? It must It probably creates a need to just

2166
01:55:37.039 --> 01:55:40.199
<v Speaker 1>like play the role and not worry about really like

2167
01:55:40.359 --> 01:55:41.840
<v Speaker 1>tapping in on a deeper level.

2168
01:55:42.000 --> 01:55:46.079
<v Speaker 9>Well, I'll say one there's one show that is like

2169

01:57:08.000 --> 01:57:10.920
<v Speaker 1>like self mode for the past, like gear and I

2197
01:57:11.039 --> 01:57:13.319
<v Speaker 1>really wasn't I wasn't even really updating my Instagram. It

2198
01:57:13.439 --> 01:57:17.279
<v Speaker 1>was just like mostly strictly business stuff, not putting out

2199
01:57:17.279 --> 01:57:19.159
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of other content. I was really burned out

2200
01:57:19.239 --> 01:57:23.079
<v Speaker 1>from just the content mill and the constant demands of

2201
01:57:23.119 --> 01:57:26.239
<v Speaker 1>the Internet. And then I went and decided to make

2202
01:57:26.279 --> 01:57:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a stupid TikTok and here we are now.

2203
01:57:30.359 --> 01:57:32.199
<v Speaker 9>TikTok every time.

2204
01:57:33.319 --> 01:57:36.680
<v Speaker 5>That's well the good timing. Jen has a question, Yeah,

2205
01:57:36.720 --> 01:57:37.279

<v Speaker 2>Okay, So thank you very much, Hidi and Nick.

2207
01:57:40.960 --> 01:57:43.319
<v Speaker 10>So I have one comment, one question, and obviously I

2208
01:57:43.399 --> 01:57:45.880
<v Speaker 10>said I would deticase Heidi in the chat, so I

2209
01:57:46.000 --> 01:57:49.920
<v Speaker 10>will do that. So celest you were talking about how

2210
01:57:50.000 --> 01:57:54.239
<v Speaker 10>your partner is very analytical, so of course Nick knows

2211
01:57:54.279 --> 01:57:56.720
<v Speaker 10>I love Kabala. So I'll just bring up a little

2212
01:57:56.800 --> 01:57:59.039
<v Speaker 10>this is kind of a boy magic what you're talking about.

2213
01:57:59.079 --> 01:58:02.359
<v Speaker 10>It's very hard, it's very you know, it's very hermetic,

2214
01:58:02.560 --> 01:58:05.600
<v Speaker 10>like you're very like in the clear blue lightning, you

2215
01:58:05.680 --> 01:58:06.119
<v Speaker 10>could say.

2216
01:58:06.640 --> 01:58:10.199
<v Speaker 2>So that's that is like you're saying, he is kind

2217
01:58:10.239 --> 01:58:11.079
<v Speaker 2>of a mystic.

2218
01:58:11.680 --> 01:58:12.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah he is.

2219
01:58:12.399 --> 01:58:15.000
<v Speaker 10>He's tuned into the numbers. But it's just boy magic

2220
01:58:15.079 --> 01:58:16.920
<v Speaker 10>because that's how he looks at it.

2221
01:58:17.079 --> 01:58:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Hard data.

2222
01:58:17.960 --> 01:58:22.000
<v Speaker 10>Women are more they they are less dense. I've said

2223
01:58:22.000 --> 01:58:23.920
<v Speaker 10>this many times on a show, but they have a

2224
01:58:24.079 --> 01:58:27.600
<v Speaker 10>they're less dense than men. So they you guys need

2225
01:58:27.960 --> 01:58:30.600
<v Speaker 10>a little more finesse, a little more care. That's why

2226
01:58:30.640 --> 01:58:34.239
<v Speaker 10>the rituals, that's why the all the spiritual technologies. Men

2227
01:58:34.520 --> 01:58:36.479
<v Speaker 10>just kind of like need the know how and then

2228
01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:39.600
<v Speaker 10>we can kind of get there. Women kind of have

2229
01:58:39.720 --> 01:58:42.159
<v Speaker 10>to prepare themselves, but they can get there too. It's

2230
01:58:42.239 --> 01:58:44.600
<v Speaker 10>just it's all obviously, I think of it as all

2231
01:58:44.680 --> 01:58:47.199
<v Speaker 10>like just consciousness, so you can get there if you want.

2232
01:58:47.279 --> 01:58:48.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just how you prepare yourself.

2233
01:58:49.000 --> 01:58:51.000
<v Speaker 10>But I thought that was really interesting because I think

2234
01:58:51.039 --> 01:58:52.840
<v Speaker 10>you're tapped into like he is a mystic.

2235
01:58:53.239 --> 01:58:54.560
<v Speaker 2>And I know a lot of people like this.

2236
01:58:54.720 --> 01:58:57.840
<v Speaker 10>They would not consider themselves occultists or mystics, but they

2237
01:58:58.159 --> 01:59:01.560
<v Speaker 10>have like a very keen analytic call i and analytical knowledge.

2238
01:59:01.680 --> 01:59:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Lisa is very much like this.

2239
01:59:02.840 --> 01:59:05.039
<v Speaker 10>I'm not saying she's like a dude at all, but

2240
01:59:06.079 --> 01:59:08.520
<v Speaker 10>she just it's a very if you have like a

2241
01:59:08.760 --> 01:59:12.000
<v Speaker 10>science that kind of brain, I think you're you are

2242
01:59:12.079 --> 01:59:15.399
<v Speaker 10>able to do it if you are open minded. And

2243
01:59:15.479 --> 01:59:20.560
<v Speaker 10>then my question was did Vampire the Masquerade the White

2244
01:59:20.600 --> 01:59:24.439
<v Speaker 10>Wolf game? Was that like really old fashioned by the

2245
01:59:24.560 --> 01:59:28.319
<v Speaker 10>time you were kind of in the scene or what

2246
01:59:28.520 --> 01:59:30.520
<v Speaker 10>did did you see it play kind of a role

2247
01:59:30.960 --> 01:59:34.399
<v Speaker 10>in how people, you know, like the.

2248
01:59:34.439 --> 01:59:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Vampire balls and all of that, like, yeah, familiar with

2249
01:59:37.279 --> 01:59:37.880
<v Speaker 2>that a little bit?

2250
01:59:38.319 --> 01:59:42.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, No, I think I mean, I think you know

2251
01:59:42.600 --> 01:59:46.880
<v Speaker 1>White Wolf games, whether it's tabletop or LARPing are gonna

2252
01:59:47.520 --> 01:59:50.279
<v Speaker 1>that's a that's eternally popular, you know. I mean, I'm

2253
01:59:50.319 --> 01:59:53.119
<v Speaker 1>in a I'm in a VTM game right now. We

2254
01:59:53.199 --> 01:59:56.279
<v Speaker 1>haven't met for ages. We meet on zoom. But I

2255
01:59:56.399 --> 02:00:00.800
<v Speaker 1>am a big fan of White Wolf. I love role playing,

2256
02:00:00.880 --> 02:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>mostly tabletop. I'm not big on warping. Surprisingly, I don't

2257
02:00:05.800 --> 02:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>like people in real life, you know, to keep me

2258
02:00:07.840 --> 02:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>away from them. But yeah, no, I think that the

2259
02:00:11.920 --> 02:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>White Wolf universe definitely did seep into elements of the

2260
02:00:16.960 --> 02:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>group that I was in. The biggest thing that I

2261
02:00:18.840 --> 02:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>can think of. I'm glad you asked this question, actually,

2262
02:00:20.960 --> 02:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>But the biggest way that I think it impacted some

2263
02:00:23.600 --> 02:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>of the terminology from White Wolf games was creeping in

2264
02:00:28.039 --> 02:00:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to the way that the Vampire moderators interacted with us.

2265
02:00:32.359 --> 02:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>And the biggest way that that happened was the idea

2266
02:00:35.279 --> 02:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>of gules. If anyone's played like VTM or a White

2267
02:00:39.279 --> 02:00:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Wolf game, the goule is a physically human, well a

2268
02:00:44.479 --> 02:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>mostly physically human character that is the servant or the

2269
02:00:48.039 --> 02:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, thrall of a vampire character. So in the

2270
02:00:52.600 --> 02:00:56.239
<v Speaker 1>role playing game Vampire, the musquerade, your vampire character can

2271
02:00:56.920 --> 02:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>give a human being a certain amount of blood, and

2272
02:00:59.720 --> 02:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that character becomes kind of like your little mortal slave

2273
02:01:03.079 --> 02:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and you can go send them to do errands for

2274
02:01:04.840 --> 02:01:07.479
<v Speaker 1>you and do stuff during the day, pick up your

2275
02:01:08.079 --> 02:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>dampile laundry, whatever does you need them to do. In

2276
02:01:12.119 --> 02:01:15.239
<v Speaker 1>the cult that I was in, that idea started to

2277
02:01:15.319 --> 02:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>really permeate. So the truly unhinged Kuku Banana is. Stuff

2278
02:01:20.680 --> 02:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that went on toward the end is that a bunch

2279
02:01:22.640 --> 02:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>of us were told that we actually had vampire blood.

2280
02:01:25.079 --> 02:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>We didn't remember getting the vampire blood because it was

2281
02:01:27.680 --> 02:01:31.399
<v Speaker 1>all happening while we were sleeping. But you know, the

2282
02:01:31.760 --> 02:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>the vampires who ran this cult were supposedly coming to

2283
02:01:34.840 --> 02:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>some of us in the night and giving us their blood,

2284
02:01:37.560 --> 02:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>and we were becoming ghouls. So in the world of

2285
02:01:40.960 --> 02:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the cult, I was a ghoul and had vampire blood

2286
02:01:44.880 --> 02:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>and was told that that's why I was so sick.

2287
02:01:47.079 --> 02:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>It turns out that I have a chronic illness, that's

2288
02:01:49.640 --> 02:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>why I'm so sick, but I was told it was

2289
02:01:52.840 --> 02:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>vampire blood. So there you go.

2290
02:01:55.000 --> 02:01:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Well that's really interesting.

2291
02:01:56.319 --> 02:01:58.680
<v Speaker 10>So us because Nicholas to Beer, I'm not sure if

2292
02:01:58.680 --> 02:02:02.039
<v Speaker 10>you're familiar with him, Yeah, and like the I think

2293
02:02:02.159 --> 02:02:05.039
<v Speaker 10>his thing is the Temple of Blood in the Order

2294
02:02:05.079 --> 02:02:08.199
<v Speaker 10>of the Dragon, and like everyone knows he's like really

2295
02:02:08.279 --> 02:02:10.920
<v Speaker 10>sick though, and like that whole group is quite weird

2296
02:02:11.119 --> 02:02:15.199
<v Speaker 10>and very extreme. But they they talk about like these

2297
02:02:15.399 --> 02:02:18.920
<v Speaker 10>very ideas that you're talking about, Like they think they are.

2298
02:02:19.039 --> 02:02:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Actually like immortal vampires, and they do feed people their

2299
02:02:22.319 --> 02:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>blood unwittingly.

2300
02:02:23.840 --> 02:02:26.640
<v Speaker 10>So I just think that that's very fascinating that they're

2301
02:02:26.720 --> 02:02:32.199
<v Speaker 10>borrowing this kind of very extreme you know, luciferian ish.

2302
02:02:32.680 --> 02:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure on their whole ideology, but yeah, very interesting.

2303
02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:39.079
<v Speaker 4>Blood.

2304
02:02:42.600 --> 02:02:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they give people their.

2305
02:02:44.159 --> 02:02:49.119
<v Speaker 10>Own blood unwittingly in food and drinks, and they say

2306
02:02:49.199 --> 02:02:52.399
<v Speaker 10>it's to improve because they think they're like pure bloodline.

2307
02:02:52.479 --> 02:02:55.479
<v Speaker 10>Like that's Nicholas Severer's like whole thing. He thinks he's

2308
02:02:55.600 --> 02:02:59.319
<v Speaker 10>like the Gray Arian. I don't know, he thinks he's

2309
02:02:59.359 --> 02:03:02.520
<v Speaker 10>like good, Like he just thinks he's like pure descendant

2310
02:03:02.680 --> 02:03:03.039
<v Speaker 10>or whatever.

2311
02:03:03.600 --> 02:03:05.800
<v Speaker 8>And so it's interesting because I've seen that in the

2312
02:03:05.840 --> 02:03:08.680
<v Speaker 8>plot line of a film recently called The Golden Child.

2313
02:03:11.600 --> 02:03:13.239
<v Speaker 9>Were you like Eddie Murphy.

2314
02:03:16.680 --> 02:03:17.079
<v Speaker 4>Review that.

2315
02:03:19.680 --> 02:03:22.399
<v Speaker 5>Was like the Oatmeal or whatever that was love that show.

2316
02:03:22.640 --> 02:03:25.119
<v Speaker 9>It's in the oat meal. It's in the oatmeal. Hey,

2317
02:03:25.399 --> 02:03:27.359
<v Speaker 9>but I was going to see it reminds me of

2318
02:03:27.760 --> 02:03:29.960
<v Speaker 9>of mid Midnight Mass as well.

2319
02:03:32.640 --> 02:03:35.279
<v Speaker 7>That was from the Great Brotherhood of the North.

2320
02:03:35.399 --> 02:03:39.800
<v Speaker 6>This is all very ancient uh magic, so all of that,

2321
02:03:40.119 --> 02:03:43.079
<v Speaker 6>all of these things, yeah, but all that one.

2322
02:03:44.159 --> 02:03:45.560
<v Speaker 4>You co join us, Julia, for sure.

2323
02:03:46.159 --> 02:03:48.600
<v Speaker 9>Send me the link. I love The Golden Child. I

2324
02:03:48.720 --> 02:03:50.439
<v Speaker 9>made Colby watch it the other day.

2325
02:03:51.760 --> 02:03:53.199
<v Speaker 5>Just watched it too. That's that's good.

2326
02:03:53.640 --> 02:03:56.079
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I recently just watched it. I think the funniest

2327
02:03:56.119 --> 02:03:59.119
<v Speaker 9>part is when they go to like the uh to

2328
02:03:59.319 --> 02:04:02.000
<v Speaker 9>talk to the dry Lady and he's like, this is

2329
02:04:02.079 --> 02:04:05.199
<v Speaker 9>good to keep the yang up, and he's like, nothing wrong.

2330
02:04:05.000 --> 02:04:05.680
<v Speaker 3>With my yang.

2331
02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:14.119
<v Speaker 9>Anyways. Anyways, I did I did want to say I

2332
02:04:14.239 --> 02:04:17.880
<v Speaker 9>played Magic the Gathering when I was a youngster and

2333
02:04:18.640 --> 02:04:20.760
<v Speaker 9>the Great Game. Do you like that one?

2334
02:04:21.039 --> 02:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not good at it because I can't math, but people,

2335
02:04:24.640 --> 02:04:24.880
<v Speaker 1>you know.

2336
02:04:26.119 --> 02:04:28.680
<v Speaker 9>I was going to say, though, you know, I started

2337
02:04:28.680 --> 02:04:31.000
<v Speaker 9>playing it when I was around like sixteen or seventeen

2338
02:04:31.079 --> 02:04:32.319
<v Speaker 9>or something like that, and I used to go to

2339
02:04:32.399 --> 02:04:35.920
<v Speaker 9>like the conventions or whatever and play against other the

2340
02:04:36.079 --> 02:04:38.560
<v Speaker 9>tournaments and stuff. If somebody would have started a Magic

2341
02:04:38.680 --> 02:04:41.920
<v Speaker 9>the Gathering cult when I was at eight, I would

2342
02:04:41.960 --> 02:04:43.680
<v Speaker 9>have joined it. I mean, I think that's.

2343
02:04:48.640 --> 02:04:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Like I want to join a cult.

2344
02:04:52.239 --> 02:04:53.680
<v Speaker 5>I would do it just.

2345
02:04:53.760 --> 02:04:56.960
<v Speaker 9>Because, okay, because I was young and impressionable. And also

2346
02:04:57.000 --> 02:04:59.800
<v Speaker 9>I'm working on a cult series right now. It's called

2347
02:05:00.079 --> 02:05:01.920
<v Speaker 9>to the CULTI Verse, and I want to join a

2348
02:05:02.000 --> 02:05:04.640
<v Speaker 9>cult just to see what it's all about. And then

2349
02:05:04.640 --> 02:05:06.479
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to report back the facts.

2350
02:05:06.720 --> 02:05:08.920
<v Speaker 4>And I don't recommend that they don't like you when

2351
02:05:08.920 --> 02:05:09.279
<v Speaker 4>you do that.

2352
02:05:09.880 --> 02:05:11.439
<v Speaker 5>It's pretty much like what I like that.

2353
02:05:12.239 --> 02:05:15.199
<v Speaker 9>Nobody will have me anyways, JJ. Unless you start a colt,

2354
02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:16.199
<v Speaker 9>maybe you'll have me.

2355
02:05:17.119 --> 02:05:18.199
<v Speaker 7>You'll get a roper money.

2356
02:05:18.199 --> 02:05:19.000
<v Speaker 4>The Mormons will take you.

2357
02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:21.560
<v Speaker 9>I don't want to pay.

2358
02:05:21.960 --> 02:05:23.439
<v Speaker 5>You got to go down to Brazil and go to

2359
02:05:23.520 --> 02:05:26.000
<v Speaker 5>the what's that one that we keep talking about, JJ,

2360
02:05:26.119 --> 02:05:27.199
<v Speaker 5>that we got to cover one day?

2361
02:05:28.880 --> 02:05:32.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and the eye is Saturday.

2362
02:05:32.680 --> 02:05:36.079
<v Speaker 5>That is some wild one. Yeah, yeah, some ship like that.

2363
02:05:36.199 --> 02:05:36.399
<v Speaker 4>Joey.

2364
02:05:36.479 --> 02:05:38.680
<v Speaker 8>You can sign a billion year contract with Scientology if

2365
02:05:38.680 --> 02:05:40.560
<v Speaker 8>you want to join a cult. It's only a billion years.

2366
02:05:43.000 --> 02:05:44.960
<v Speaker 8>I think that's going to only a billionaires.

2367
02:05:45.600 --> 02:05:47.520
<v Speaker 9>I mean, it's going to be a no for me, dog.

2368
02:05:47.760 --> 02:05:50.720
<v Speaker 9>But the thing is, I would like to join like

2369
02:05:50.840 --> 02:05:54.000
<v Speaker 9>a cult temporarily, like a friend of your cold than

2370
02:05:54.039 --> 02:05:56.600
<v Speaker 9>that like just to go to a couple of crock

2371
02:05:56.720 --> 02:05:59.880
<v Speaker 9>pot lunches and then just you know, take some notes

2372
02:06:00.119 --> 02:06:04.520
<v Speaker 9>down and just you know investigated investiguis a little bit,

2373
02:06:04.640 --> 02:06:08.399
<v Speaker 9>and then just be out. But anyways, I think if

2374
02:06:08.479 --> 02:06:11.359
<v Speaker 9>you have enough passion behind something, and you're involved with

2375
02:06:11.479 --> 02:06:14.720
<v Speaker 9>something enough, it would be easy to become involved in

2376
02:06:15.199 --> 02:06:18.479
<v Speaker 9>like a club or a group where what eventually ends

2377
02:06:18.560 --> 02:06:21.880
<v Speaker 9>up becoming a cult. Because I mean I was stealing

2378
02:06:22.039 --> 02:06:24.920
<v Speaker 9>Magic the Gathering cards from Walmart and just like stuffing

2379
02:06:25.000 --> 02:06:27.359
<v Speaker 9>my bra with them and shoving them down my pants.

2380
02:06:27.359 --> 02:06:28.680
<v Speaker 4>I was obsessed with it.

2381
02:06:29.600 --> 02:06:32.479
<v Speaker 9>I was, indeed, man, that is magic.

2382
02:06:32.800 --> 02:06:37.600
<v Speaker 2>Magic the Gathering is definitely there's definitely kala stick. Oh

2383
02:06:37.960 --> 02:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I think pel.

2384
02:06:40.319 --> 02:06:47.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean, yeah, I agree, Jin. I think it

2385
02:06:47.800 --> 02:06:49.960
<v Speaker 9>gets a hold of your mind for sure, because I

2386
02:06:50.159 --> 02:06:54.199
<v Speaker 9>became completely obsessed with it. I had the video game,

2387
02:06:54.479 --> 02:06:57.439
<v Speaker 9>I met people in real life and played it. I

2388
02:06:57.520 --> 02:07:00.239
<v Speaker 9>mean I did, I did all of it. I mean,

2389
02:07:00.560 --> 02:07:02.920
<v Speaker 9>but the thing I grew out of it. But I

2390
02:07:02.960 --> 02:07:05.640
<v Speaker 9>feel like some of this stuff, like they set up

2391
02:07:05.680 --> 02:07:08.359
<v Speaker 9>these forums and stuff because a lot of people don't grow.

2392
02:07:08.239 --> 02:07:08.680
<v Speaker 11>Out of this.

2393
02:07:09.680 --> 02:07:12.680
<v Speaker 9>They they don't capture asking questions.

2394
02:07:12.880 --> 02:07:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's to capture your attention.

2395
02:07:15.439 --> 02:07:19.159
<v Speaker 10>Like for me, I was like, I'm more like identified

2396
02:07:19.199 --> 02:07:21.119
<v Speaker 10>with some of what Celestia was saying, because like I

2397
02:07:22.000 --> 02:07:24.359
<v Speaker 10>I'm Goth a little bit like not full.

2398
02:07:24.439 --> 02:07:28.279
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I was always adjacent to that subculture or whatever.

2399
02:07:28.720 --> 02:07:29.479
<v Speaker 2>I like magic.

2400
02:07:29.600 --> 02:07:32.000
<v Speaker 10>I was never into vampires, but I do like magic,

2401
02:07:32.199 --> 02:07:34.600
<v Speaker 10>So I was always interested in i't call things. So

2402
02:07:35.000 --> 02:07:37.600
<v Speaker 10>it's always to draw your attention, like who, like, what

2403
02:07:37.720 --> 02:07:40.479
<v Speaker 10>consciousness are you going to capture with what story?

2404
02:07:41.159 --> 02:07:43.359
<v Speaker 2>So I've read all the Anne Reichs books. I didn't

2405
02:07:43.359 --> 02:07:45.000
<v Speaker 2>mind them, but it wasn't it's not going to be

2406
02:07:45.079 --> 02:07:48.039
<v Speaker 2>something that I'm It wasn't the capture the thing that

2407
02:07:48.199 --> 02:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>captured me. So you were captured by magic the gathering.

2408
02:07:52.159 --> 02:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Heidi was obviously born a Mormon. JJ obviously became a Mormon.

2409
02:07:55.840 --> 02:07:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Nick was captured by the Oto.

2410
02:07:57.319 --> 02:07:59.960
<v Speaker 10>I'm not saying in a negative way, just we all

2411
02:08:00.920 --> 02:08:04.640
<v Speaker 10>everyone here kind of proves that the real American religion

2412
02:08:04.760 --> 02:08:08.880
<v Speaker 10>is actually a little weird, a little magicalal and like

2413
02:08:09.199 --> 02:08:14.000
<v Speaker 10>a lot of like what you think, individualistic in a way.

2414
02:08:15.159 --> 02:08:19.039
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, I mean I think that's very well said. Yeah,

2415
02:08:19.479 --> 02:08:20.159
<v Speaker 9>very well said.

2416
02:08:21.000 --> 02:08:26.960
<v Speaker 12>Definitely, Yeah, a lot of aliens.

2417
02:08:27.000 --> 02:08:34.159
<v Speaker 5>That is interesting that does show up on It's.

2418
02:08:31.720 --> 02:08:34.039
<v Speaker 1>Aliens all the way down at the end of the day.

2419
02:08:36.199 --> 02:08:37.399
<v Speaker 7>It's aliens and women.

2420
02:08:37.720 --> 02:08:40.479
<v Speaker 1>It's ultra terrestrial women all the way down there.

2421
02:08:41.239 --> 02:08:46.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Uh go probably about another like ten minutes, if

2422
02:08:46.319 --> 02:08:48.680
<v Speaker 5>anybody else has any more questions. I know I meant

2423
02:08:49.159 --> 02:08:50.600
<v Speaker 5>typed in the chat. I wanted to wrap it up,

2424
02:08:50.760 --> 02:08:51.279
<v Speaker 5>like not yet.

2425
02:08:52.920 --> 02:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I know everyone went quiet.

2426
02:08:54.159 --> 02:08:58.119
<v Speaker 5>I know, yeah, because they're probably like, I'm long winded.

2427
02:08:58.199 --> 02:09:00.880
<v Speaker 9>I didn't want to get started on something I couldn't stop.

2428
02:09:03.319 --> 02:09:07.079
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead, Jenny, you got another question, Yeah, i'llsole us.

2429
02:09:07.159 --> 02:09:10.600
<v Speaker 10>The question is what are some of your most Obviously

2430
02:09:10.680 --> 02:09:12.439
<v Speaker 10>you don't want to I understand if you don't want

2431
02:09:12.479 --> 02:09:15.479
<v Speaker 10>to get into personal details of like your clients, But

2432
02:09:15.600 --> 02:09:17.760
<v Speaker 10>what are some of the more interesting cases that you

2433
02:09:17.840 --> 02:09:21.600
<v Speaker 10>would be willing to like share that you've done magically

2434
02:09:21.800 --> 02:09:22.439
<v Speaker 10>or for people.

2435
02:09:22.920 --> 02:09:23.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

2436
02:09:23.720 --> 02:09:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I think, like you know, my clients, I

2437
02:09:28.760 --> 02:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of repeat clients, which I think is

2438
02:09:30.640 --> 02:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>not always common in this industry. But I do have

2439
02:09:33.439 --> 02:09:35.560
<v Speaker 1>a really wonderful client base of people who kind of

2440
02:09:35.720 --> 02:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>keep coming back either and not you know, not like

2441
02:09:38.079 --> 02:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>keep coming back like every week they're blowing me up,

2442
02:09:39.920 --> 02:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>but you know, keep coming back for inside or readings.

2443
02:09:43.560 --> 02:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Readings was a big bread and butter of my work

2444
02:09:46.880 --> 02:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>for a long long time, and that's really all I did,

2445
02:09:49.520 --> 02:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and I've only branched out into doing sort of bespoke

2446
02:09:53.720 --> 02:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>spell work bespoke ritual for people over the past three issuars.

2447
02:09:58.640 --> 02:10:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think that it was going to be as

2448
02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:03.399
<v Speaker 1>popular as it has been, but it turns out that

2449
02:10:03.479 --> 02:10:06.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have a lot of magic that

2450
02:10:06.319 --> 02:10:08.279
<v Speaker 1>they want to do that they either don't know how

2451
02:10:08.319 --> 02:10:10.279
<v Speaker 1>to do or they're too lazy to do themselves. So

2452
02:10:10.600 --> 02:10:13.439
<v Speaker 1>that is that is not my job as far as

2453
02:10:13.479 --> 02:10:16.279
<v Speaker 1>the most interesting. I get a lot of the kind

2454
02:10:16.279 --> 02:10:18.279
<v Speaker 1>of standard stuff that you would imagine a lot of

2455
02:10:18.479 --> 02:10:21.560
<v Speaker 1>like my ex left and I want him back. I

2456
02:10:21.640 --> 02:10:24.359
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of you know, I want a promotion

2457
02:10:24.479 --> 02:10:26.119
<v Speaker 1>at my job or I need a new job and

2458
02:10:26.159 --> 02:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how to do that. But then I

2459
02:10:29.840 --> 02:10:34.359
<v Speaker 1>do get some sort of more unhinged requests. I guess

2460
02:10:35.800 --> 02:10:39.399
<v Speaker 1>I met a couple of people who needed it. Yeah, well,

2461
02:10:40.000 --> 02:10:42.600
<v Speaker 1>not that many homicidal people, and I have a system

2462
02:10:42.680 --> 02:10:45.159
<v Speaker 1>for dealing with that. But I do have people who

2463
02:10:46.359 --> 02:10:49.840
<v Speaker 1>want to, you know, either protect themselves from somebody or

2464
02:10:49.920 --> 02:10:56.079
<v Speaker 1>they need to exact some form of vengeance, shall we say.

2465
02:10:56.159 --> 02:10:59.079
<v Speaker 1>And one such case, which I will talk about without

2466
02:10:59.159 --> 02:11:02.479
<v Speaker 1>naming names, but I had a client and a friend

2467
02:11:02.520 --> 02:11:06.199
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years ago who had been slighted by

2468
02:11:06.239 --> 02:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>an individual and was upset about it. And so her

2469
02:11:09.479 --> 02:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>whole thing was, you know, she was very upset, very distraught,

2470
02:11:11.640 --> 02:11:14.359
<v Speaker 1>and she said, I want this person to be punished.

2471
02:11:14.520 --> 02:11:17.239
<v Speaker 1>And I said, okay, well what kind of punishment are

2472
02:11:17.279 --> 02:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>we talking about here, Like, let's have a conversation. And

2473
02:11:19.560 --> 02:11:22.319
<v Speaker 1>I always make sure that I do a divination first,

2474
02:11:22.479 --> 02:11:25.319
<v Speaker 1>because sometimes it's just not a good idea to go

2475
02:11:25.439 --> 02:11:29.159
<v Speaker 1>getting yourself involved in a situation like that. But she

2476
02:11:30.439 --> 02:11:33.359
<v Speaker 1>wanted him. He was he was a I kind of

2477
02:11:33.560 --> 02:11:35.439
<v Speaker 1>if he was like a YouTuber or like a twitch

2478
02:11:35.479 --> 02:11:37.479
<v Speaker 1>streamer or something like that. But he was like a

2479
02:11:37.600 --> 02:11:40.560
<v Speaker 1>mildly famous in his like little niche kind of guy.

2480
02:11:41.359 --> 02:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>And she said, I really want him to lose this

2481
02:11:44.760 --> 02:11:48.439
<v Speaker 1>celebrity boxing match that he's about to be a part of.

2482
02:11:48.640 --> 02:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>There was some sort of YouTube live streamed pay per

2483
02:11:51.760 --> 02:11:55.279
<v Speaker 1>view influencer boxing match going on, and she really wanted

2484
02:11:55.279 --> 02:11:57.439
<v Speaker 1>this guy to lose. And I thought, you know, well

2485
02:11:57.479 --> 02:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>that's fairly innocent. I don't give it in about this

2486
02:11:59.760 --> 02:12:01.399
<v Speaker 1>guy seems like piece of shit, Like, yeah, all right,

2487
02:12:01.479 --> 02:12:03.880
<v Speaker 1>let's do some magic for him to lose this boxing match.

2488
02:12:04.359 --> 02:12:06.079
<v Speaker 1>But then she kind of caveat it, and she said,

2489
02:12:06.119 --> 02:12:07.399
<v Speaker 1>but I also want him to get a little bit

2490
02:12:07.560 --> 02:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>injured in the process. I was like, okay, so do

2491
02:12:11.039 --> 02:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the ritual and I'll be honest with you, like my

2492
02:12:14.079 --> 02:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>stuff usually does work. Sometimes it takes a little longer

2493
02:12:16.680 --> 02:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to work than I think it's going to, like timelines

2494
02:12:18.960 --> 02:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>with magical weird. But I have a pretty good track

2495
02:12:21.680 --> 02:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>record of my stuff working.

2496
02:12:24.680 --> 02:12:33.760
<v Speaker 9>But right right in the middle of the story, are

2497
02:12:33.800 --> 02:12:34.359
<v Speaker 9>we back.

2498
02:12:34.560 --> 02:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, okay, yeah, oh man, all right, either he

2499
02:12:38.920 --> 02:12:40.439
<v Speaker 1>was going to win this boxing match or he was not.

2500
02:12:40.560 --> 02:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was gonna it was gonna work, or

2501
02:12:41.960 --> 02:12:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't. And she was going to be watching live

2502
02:12:45.319 --> 02:12:47.119
<v Speaker 1>my client, and it was like, oh fuck if I

2503
02:12:47.319 --> 02:12:49.359
<v Speaker 1>if I screw the pooch on this one, it's going

2504
02:12:49.399 --> 02:12:53.199
<v Speaker 1>to be real bad for business. So anyway, I hear

2505
02:12:53.239 --> 02:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>about it later and she was like, well he lost

2506
02:12:56.840 --> 02:12:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the match. I was like, oh, dope, that's awesome. Few

2507
02:13:00.439 --> 02:13:04.119
<v Speaker 1>she was like yeah, and his bicep exploded like the muscle.

2508
02:13:04.640 --> 02:13:08.359
<v Speaker 1>The muscle in his bicep. I guess, like I don't know,

2509
02:13:08.960 --> 02:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>a tendon snapped or something, but he had like some

2510
02:13:12.359 --> 02:13:17.199
<v Speaker 1>crazy gnarly bicep injury. And so yeah, that that worked

2511
02:13:17.600 --> 02:13:18.399
<v Speaker 1>very successfully.

2512
02:13:22.800 --> 02:13:25.600
<v Speaker 12>That's wild frozen again.

2513
02:13:28.880 --> 02:13:30.159
<v Speaker 9>I had a question to.

2514
02:13:31.680 --> 02:13:35.560
<v Speaker 5>Go, shoot, oh good, you froze again.

2515
02:13:35.720 --> 02:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>So I wasn't sure if you're there, you don't out,

2516
02:13:37.880 --> 02:13:40.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what's going on. I guess the spirit's like,

2517
02:13:40.359 --> 02:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>that's enough of you, bitch, but go ahead, go ahead

2518
02:13:42.560 --> 02:13:43.399
<v Speaker 1>if you have a question.

2519
02:13:44.479 --> 02:13:46.239
<v Speaker 9>Well, I was just gonna see, do you ever get

2520
02:13:46.359 --> 02:13:52.600
<v Speaker 9>scared if like doing ritualism like this, Like, does does

2521
02:13:53.079 --> 02:13:56.039
<v Speaker 9>anything negative come back on you or the person who

2522
02:13:56.199 --> 02:13:56.840
<v Speaker 9>requested it?

2523
02:13:59.439 --> 02:14:03.359
<v Speaker 1>In my experience, neither U. And I think that's because

2524
02:14:03.439 --> 02:14:08.079
<v Speaker 1>like so, I'm not wicked, and only some schools of

2525
02:14:08.119 --> 02:14:11.520
<v Speaker 1>occultism really even believe in this idea of like, you know,

2526
02:14:12.119 --> 02:14:15.560
<v Speaker 1>rebound impact from a spell. You know, in the wick

2527
02:14:15.640 --> 02:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>in religion, it's like, Okay, anything you're going to put

2528
02:14:17.760 --> 02:14:20.239
<v Speaker 1>out there, you get back on you three times, And

2529
02:14:20.359 --> 02:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>that's just not a tenet that everybody believes in. I

2530
02:14:23.319 --> 02:14:27.439
<v Speaker 1>do believe in energy moving around, and I while I

2531
02:14:27.520 --> 02:14:30.880
<v Speaker 1>don't really think that there's this sort of score sheet

2532
02:14:31.119 --> 02:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>out there with some like Supreme being being like, well,

2533
02:14:33.720 --> 02:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you did the bad things, so now you're going to

2534
02:14:35.880 --> 02:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>get the bad thing. I don't think it's quite I mean,

2535
02:14:37.720 --> 02:14:40.199
<v Speaker 1>if it were like that, a lot of really bad

2536
02:14:40.199 --> 02:14:42.199
<v Speaker 1>people would be having really bad lives and they don't,

2537
02:14:42.640 --> 02:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>so you know, proofs in the pudding there a lot.

2538
02:14:44.960 --> 02:14:47.439
<v Speaker 9>I have to agree with you on that because I've

2539
02:14:47.520 --> 02:14:52.439
<v Speaker 9>said several times, you know, when you watch a movie,

2540
02:14:53.079 --> 02:14:55.199
<v Speaker 9>you always expect for the good guy to win in

2541
02:14:55.239 --> 02:14:58.000
<v Speaker 9>the end against evil, but in real life it's not

2542
02:14:58.239 --> 02:15:00.880
<v Speaker 9>like that. It's usually the bad guy wins in the end,

2543
02:15:01.159 --> 02:15:06.079
<v Speaker 9>and that's reality. And so if I hate to say this,

2544
02:15:06.279 --> 02:15:08.359
<v Speaker 9>but it's like if if it was like if you

2545
02:15:08.439 --> 02:15:10.640
<v Speaker 9>do something bad, something bad's going to happen to you,

2546
02:15:10.880 --> 02:15:14.560
<v Speaker 9>then I mean all the satanic pedophiles that run our

2547
02:15:14.640 --> 02:15:18.359
<v Speaker 9>country would not be freaking billionaires live in you know,

2548
02:15:18.640 --> 02:15:21.479
<v Speaker 9>lavish lifestyles. So it's like the bad guy wins in

2549
02:15:21.560 --> 02:15:23.800
<v Speaker 9>the end. Sometimes I hate to say that, but that's

2550
02:15:23.840 --> 02:15:24.640
<v Speaker 9>what it seems like.

2551
02:15:25.159 --> 02:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, and it's also like if you guys is in

2552
02:15:27.079 --> 02:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the show The Good Place where they try and like

2553
02:15:29.119 --> 02:15:32.279
<v Speaker 1>figure out what the moral like tally sheet would even

2554
02:15:32.359 --> 02:15:35.319
<v Speaker 1>look like and how you would calculate that, Like I think,

2555
02:15:36.319 --> 02:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that there is some kind of like

2556
02:15:38.359 --> 02:15:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I believe in God. I think that God

2557
02:15:40.600 --> 02:15:45.439
<v Speaker 1>is real, But I don't think that human morality and

2558
02:15:45.560 --> 02:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>human action can be reduced to this sort of like

2559
02:15:48.000 --> 02:15:51.000
<v Speaker 1>easy checks and balances. Yes, no bad, good kind of thing.

2560
02:15:52.520 --> 02:15:55.159
<v Speaker 1>I do always do my own sort of soul searching

2561
02:15:55.239 --> 02:15:58.399
<v Speaker 1>and divination before I take a client on, before I decide,

2562
02:15:58.479 --> 02:16:00.319
<v Speaker 1>like am I going to do this work? But I

2563
02:16:00.800 --> 02:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, I I will get energetically drained. I'll

2564
02:16:03.600 --> 02:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>say that if I And that's regardless of the kind

2565
02:16:05.800 --> 02:16:07.439
<v Speaker 1>of work that I'm doing, whether it's like kind of

2566
02:16:07.600 --> 02:16:10.479
<v Speaker 1>texting and cursing, whether it's much more benevolent, like if

2567
02:16:10.520 --> 02:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I have a full three days of spell work, it

2568
02:16:12.760 --> 02:16:14.159
<v Speaker 1>will drain the funk out of me and I'll have

2569
02:16:14.199 --> 02:16:18.439
<v Speaker 1>to go to bed and sleep. But it doesn't I mean,

2570
02:16:18.520 --> 02:16:20.640
<v Speaker 1>touch Wood, you freaked me out. Now, It's so far

2571
02:16:20.720 --> 02:16:22.439
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't like come and bit me in the ass.

2572
02:16:23.720 --> 02:16:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Yet I feel like the spirits are very present on

2573
02:16:27.840 --> 02:16:29.760
<v Speaker 1>this conversation and doing all sorts of things with the

2574
02:16:29.800 --> 02:16:32.559
<v Speaker 1>internet connections, so like, don't bite me in the ass,

2575
02:16:32.760 --> 02:16:37.159
<v Speaker 1>you know. But yeah, I know Robert's going to come.

2576
02:16:41.680 --> 02:16:44.959
<v Speaker 9>And now it's all remind me never to meet up

2577
02:16:45.000 --> 02:16:46.120
<v Speaker 9>with you and go bowling.

2578
02:16:46.280 --> 02:16:49.360
<v Speaker 7>I just don't want that energy in my life.

2579
02:16:51.680 --> 02:16:54.159
<v Speaker 4>Before worn. Don't don't ever take a picture of Robert

2580
02:16:54.200 --> 02:16:55.159
<v Speaker 4>the doll. He will curse you.

2581
02:16:57.159 --> 02:16:59.399
<v Speaker 9>I'm not going to do it. I'm never going to

2582
02:16:59.520 --> 02:16:59.680
<v Speaker 9>do it.

2583
02:17:00.360 --> 02:17:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw him, but I don't think. I don't think

2584
02:17:02.319 --> 02:17:03.879
<v Speaker 1>I took a picture. I think I was like, I'm

2585
02:17:03.879 --> 02:17:05.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna heed that morning.

2586
02:17:05.399 --> 02:17:06.399
<v Speaker 4>Far more wiser than I.

2587
02:17:10.120 --> 02:17:12.360
<v Speaker 9>I bet your I bet if you posted that picture,

2588
02:17:12.440 --> 02:17:14.360
<v Speaker 9>only got like ten likes on it too, and now

2589
02:17:14.399 --> 02:17:15.319
<v Speaker 9>you're cursed forever.

2590
02:17:16.399 --> 02:17:17.760
<v Speaker 6>I know.

2591
02:17:18.360 --> 02:17:20.639
<v Speaker 8>I don't really have any social media outside of my podcast.

2592
02:17:20.719 --> 02:17:22.959
<v Speaker 8>And this was probably twelve years ago. I'm not even

2593
02:17:23.000 --> 02:17:24.920
<v Speaker 8>sure what happened to the photo it was.

2594
02:17:25.000 --> 02:17:27.959
<v Speaker 9>You didn't even get a single like on it? JJ wow.

2595
02:17:29.319 --> 02:17:29.799
<v Speaker 11>And for what.

2596
02:17:31.280 --> 02:17:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Memory card? You know what I mean, Like, I'm not

2597
02:17:32.959 --> 02:17:35.040
<v Speaker 4>certainly ever left the actual memory card of the camera.

2598
02:17:38.799 --> 02:17:41.440
<v Speaker 1>That'siously Robert did all takes his privacy.

2599
02:17:41.520 --> 02:17:45.079
<v Speaker 8>He's like, you don't have to print it, apparently you

2600
02:17:45.159 --> 02:17:47.159
<v Speaker 8>just have to have it on, you know, on a

2601
02:17:47.239 --> 02:17:49.760
<v Speaker 8>memory card. Apparently riding away in the back of a

2602
02:17:49.799 --> 02:17:50.479
<v Speaker 8>closet somewhere.

2603
02:17:50.520 --> 02:17:53.920
<v Speaker 9>I'm sure, Hey, quick question something I heard that might

2604
02:17:54.000 --> 02:17:56.959
<v Speaker 9>be total bullshit. If you cut your hair on a

2605
02:17:57.040 --> 02:17:59.719
<v Speaker 9>full moon or something like, what are you You're only

2606
02:18:00.159 --> 02:18:02.040
<v Speaker 9>to cut your hair on certain days. I have a

2607
02:18:02.120 --> 02:18:05.479
<v Speaker 9>hair pointment coming up. This is per information.

2608
02:18:05.280 --> 02:18:08.399
<v Speaker 2>Weaning Julia waning always on a waning.

2609
02:18:09.280 --> 02:18:10.040
<v Speaker 9>Is one coming up?

2610
02:18:10.040 --> 02:18:11.719
<v Speaker 12>Because I have a hair appointment.

2611
02:18:14.239 --> 02:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Right now. I think it's I think it is wedding currently.

2612
02:18:17.280 --> 02:18:20.040
<v Speaker 9>Actually, oh, thank god, I need a good haircut.

2613
02:18:20.719 --> 02:18:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

2614
02:18:21.000 --> 02:18:23.879
<v Speaker 9>There you go saying it's been years since I've gotten

2615
02:18:23.920 --> 02:18:26.000
<v Speaker 9>a good haircut, and I feel like it's always because

2616
02:18:26.000 --> 02:18:28.200
<v Speaker 9>I get it cut at the wrong time. Somebody told

2617
02:18:28.239 --> 02:18:29.799
<v Speaker 9>me this last time. I said, every time I go,

2618
02:18:29.879 --> 02:18:32.239
<v Speaker 9>I get a shitty fucking haircut, and they said it's

2619
02:18:32.319 --> 02:18:34.399
<v Speaker 9>because you're only supposed to cut your hair on the

2620
02:18:35.280 --> 02:18:38.840
<v Speaker 9>waning moon. I didn't couldn't remember which one it was,

2621
02:18:38.959 --> 02:18:41.879
<v Speaker 9>but I just you know, if there's anything to that,

2622
02:18:42.000 --> 02:18:43.479
<v Speaker 9>I think I want to do it next time.

2623
02:18:43.920 --> 02:18:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's that's old astrology.

2624
02:18:47.879 --> 02:18:49.079
<v Speaker 5>Definitely, let us know how that goes.

2625
02:18:51.680 --> 02:18:55.479
<v Speaker 10>You never on you never cut your hair on a

2626
02:18:55.600 --> 02:18:59.239
<v Speaker 10>dark moon, and usually what you do is you collect

2627
02:18:59.280 --> 02:19:00.799
<v Speaker 10>the hair and then you burn. If you want to

2628
02:19:00.799 --> 02:19:03.680
<v Speaker 10>be really old school, you collect the hair off like

2629
02:19:03.799 --> 02:19:05.520
<v Speaker 10>after they sweep it up. You don't want them take

2630
02:19:05.600 --> 02:19:06.840
<v Speaker 10>it any burning yourself.

2631
02:19:08.440 --> 02:19:12.680
<v Speaker 9>See what happened with Nick cut his hair on a

2632
02:19:12.799 --> 02:19:15.280
<v Speaker 9>dark moon and never grow back.

2633
02:19:15.440 --> 02:19:22.399
<v Speaker 5>So for the barbha and yeah, that's what's.
