Brothers of the Serpent

This episode is a free-form discussion about the topics and information presented by Marty in the UFO episodes, specifically focusing on the previous two episodes, 213 and 214, but also referencing some of the earlier UFO episodes as well.Do these complex rituals actually work? Or are they also a form of deception? Or, are they possibly Quant Suff of an actual science/technology of an earlier age? What is the nature of the things people call the "spirit" realm and the "supernatural"? Are these things accessible to science if it is advanced enough? What is the "simplest hypothesis" for the UFO phenomena? As usual, we have plenty of questions, and no answers.

This is the second episode in the two part series of episodes titled "A History of Unlikely Coincidences" by Marty Garza. We recorded both of these in one sitting, reading through Marty's prepared material(which will hopefully become a book at some point) and discussing. By the time we finished with this episode all of us were too tired to record more, so there will be follow up to discuss these topics more at some point in the future. In this episode we continue from where we left off in the last episode with Jack Parsons, and continue forward discussing L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology, the Collins Elite, the Philip Experiment, and much more.

Marty Garza returns once again with more of his excellent research and insights into the history of the UFO phenomenon.  Marty had so much material prepared that this is the first in a two-part series, the second of which will be released next week as Episode #214. We recorded both episodes in one sitting. Lots of excellent material, as usual, fascinating stuff.  This time we tried something different; Russ did all the reading of Marty's prepared material, like a normal book report, allowing Marty to guide the conversation through both his written material and with further comments and responses to questions from us. As this is the first in a two part series, there isn't actually much mention of "UFOs" in this episode....that will come in the next episode as we reach the conclusions of this part of Marty's research. This episode sets the stage for what we will be exploring next week, as we look at a series of historical accounts and events starting with John Dee and his Enochian Magic, and ending with Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, and Aleister Crowley and the Babylon Working. Brothers of the Serpent Episode 213 If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element

David Mathisen joins us once again to discuss the celestial origins of mythology. This episode we focus on Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. This discussion syncs up well with our current situation here in Texas, as we are in the middle of harvest season and we are making wine ourselves. David tells the story of Dionysus, the thrice-born, giving many of the details and aspects of this mythological personality, and then shows how these details and aspects can be seen in the stars and constellations. As always, David's presentations are entertaining and informative. There was video recorded with this episode, so look for that on our YouTube Channel. You can find out more about David's work at his website, https://www.starmythworld.com/Blog, books, videos, everything.

We've been so far behind on listener emails for so long now that we decided it was time to catch up with a Listener Communications episode. We spend this entire episode reading your emails and responding to the topics and points you bring up. As always, the emails are excellent; fun to read, insightful and funny. We also streamed this show live to the Discord Chat, which is always fun. If you want to get in on the occasional live stream and join hundreds of like-minded snakes in excellent conversations about topics we cover on the show, use the link above and join the chat!  Brothers of the Serpent Episode 211 If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element

Every once in a while we decide we need to make an episode that can serve as an "entry point" for new listeners, and also to talk about our current state of mind and ideas on all the topics we discuss, and how they're connected. We first tried this in Episode 82, at the request of a listener. It was a good idea, and we now think we ought to do it every so often, to talk about these subjects broadly, and to work out where we stand now. So this episode is a rambling, free-form conversation that hopefully can serve as an overview of some of the topics we explore on this podcast, and a bit about why we explore them.

Long time listener and friend of the show Shannon joins us from across the pond in Yorkshire to discuss the fascinating legends, myths and folklore of the area she lives in, as well as a few of her experiences visiting some of the numerous ancient sites that dot the landscape. We talk about legends of druids and devils, giants and dragons, and of course, the fae. Shannon provided copious notes, images, and links for this episode, some of which we will include below, along with a few extra images of specific sites.

We are joined this week by friend of the show Kyle Delisle. We met Kyle on the trip we took to the channeled scablands in Washington State earlier this year with Randall Carlson. Kyle is a Native American of the Iroquois, of the Mohawk nation, and he has been researching Iroquois traditions, legends, and mythology regarding the creation of the world, the creation of humans, giants, and other strange beings that were said to exist long ago. Kyle tells us about the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy, and the possible travels of the ancestors of his people. We read and discuss some of their stories and traditions about encounters with giants. We talk about their detailed creation stories, and speculate on the possibility that some of the symbolism in the traditions may be referring to constellations, and past catastrophes, especially the Younger Dryas period.  All in all, a fascinating and illuminating conversation!

Years ago we went over some of the cases in David Paulides' book, Missing 411-Western United States & Canada. Now we're tackling some of the cases in the next book, Missing 411-Eastern United States & Canada. We've chosen a specific set of cases from the book that are less well known and for the most part show a specific pattern: very young children who go missing and are found alive, days later, miles from where they disappeared. This is part 2 of that case study.We are using the book for reference but we are only covering a very few of the hundreds of cases in this book. We can't stress enough that if you really want to dive into this particular mystery, you should go to David's website, the CanAm Missing Project, purchase the books, and follow his YouTube channel. https://www.canammissing.com/page/page/8396197.htm https://www.canammissing.com/missing_411.html https://www.canammissing.com/missing_411eastern_us.html https://www.youtube.com/user/canammissingproject Brothers of the Serpent Episode 207 If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element
