S1: Ep13: Extraterrestrials, Egregores, & Esoterica w/ Mitch Horowitz

Join us for an engaging episode of THE CIRCLE IS podCAST as Rachel True and Mat Auryn welcome Mitch Horowitz, a leading voice in occultism and mysticism. Mitch shares insights from his show Alien Encounters: Fact or Fiction, discussing how terms like "alien" and "ET" are culturally conditioned, drawing comparisons to older concepts like "ghosts" and "goblins." The conversation explores Carl Jung’s view of UFOs as humanity’s modern encounter with the numinous and the concept of egregores, linking ancient thought forms to phenomena like Slenderman. Mitch discusses how pagan symbols permeate American culture and unpacks the difference between the Illuminati in modern conspiracy theories versus historical reality. The episode also touches on the syncretic nature of religious traditions, the spiritual impact of synthetic versus natural textiles, and how media shapes beliefs around the occult and conspiracy theories. This episode is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by the intersections of spirituality, culture, and the unknown.
