What comes to mind when you hear the words voodoo or hoodoo? Is it witchcraft? Dark forces? Voodoo Dolls and/or possession? It wouldn't surprise me if those are the first thoughts that come to mind. It is actually two separate and distinct spiritual practices. Voodoo is an actual practiced religion and Hoodoo, also known as root work, is a spiritual practice which deals more with the botanical side and other natural objects. Usually, Hoodoo is used for protection, luck and love spells. Both, however, are African-American spiritual practices. Why then, is it viewed by many as evil and harmful? Is Voodoo and/or Hoodoo a closed practice? If this topic interests you, join us and listen!

Throughout time and across the world, the mention of shapeshifters has always been around. The concept of beings who are able to transform into animals is certainly nothing new. In the Native-American lore there exist such beings known as Skinwalkers. These malevolent creatures are known to have the ability to shapeshift at will into animals such as wolves, coyotes and foxes to simply name a few. Aside from shapeshifting they can also mimic voices and animal cries to lure their prey, they can take on human possession and are the cause of nightmares. They are definitely a taboo topic that is rarely spoken about in the native tribes and collecting additional information regarding them is challenging. However, if this topic interests you, joins us and listen!

How could an exorcism possibly get any worse? Well there's always that possibility of death. Exorcisms are dangerous because of the physical and/or mental extremes the victim undergoes. Sometimes that can consist of being tied down, beaten and starved. The situation can escalate and become violent rather quickly. The scariest part of it all is not so much the demons that are being casted out it's the people involved in the ritual. In this episode we will take a look at two different cases involving possession both, however, equally disturbing.

Father Gabriele Amorth was without doubt the most famous exorcist of the modern era. As he was both controversial and known as the Pope's Exorcist. He advocated for the necessity of exorcisms and by his account had performed over 100,000 of them. In this episode we will go over a little bit of his journey that led him to the path of becoming the Pope's Exorcist and we will go over what defines an exorcism and the different types that the Catholic Church acknowledges. I've also included real life audio from one of the exorcisms Father Amorth performed before his passing. If this topic interest you, join us and listen!

Throughout history witchcraft has always been perceived as an evil practice. It is an artform only practiced and/or performed by those who dwell in sin. As society "progressed" there came about precautions that one could look to in order to protect them from the witches' dark arts. So it was handy for both the government and church to have a sort of guide/manual that one could use to convict women of being witches. It was then where the Malleus Maleficarum was created and introduced. This book offered ways in how to identify, interrogate and convict the witches of their time.

Almost everyone has heard about the legend of Bloody Mary which can be summoned through your bathroom mirror. It a very popular "game" to play amongst children especially during sleep overs. Legend has it though, that if you are brave enough to go through with this ritual she will appear to you in the reflection of your mirror. Not only will she show herself to you, but she also has the ability to scratch your face, drive people to the point of insanity and in the most severe of cases kill. The question one might wonder is why is she so angry and aggressive? Who is she? In this episode we will go over 3 possible candidates who are rumored to be the real Mary as well as go over the significance of the elements that compose the ritual. So if this topic interests you, join us and listen!

Amulets and Talismans are magickal tools that most of us wear, carry with and/or place around the house to ward off evil spirits, harm and illnesses and to attract success and/or blessings. If you wear a cross necklace or if you carry a "special" coin with you then you may already be working with these tools. The concept of amulets and talismans is nothing new and in fact has been around for a long time. In this episode we will go over the differences between them and whether or not you should buy them or create them yourselves. If this topic interests you, join us and listen!
