Brothers of the Serpent

Scotty is back! We have Scotty Baldwin on once again to discuss interesting moments in his career as Front Of House engineer for some of the biggest names in American(and now Chinese) music.   We also discuss archaeoaccoustics, sasquatch, exploring the wilderness of the Boundary Waters, and more.   Thanks to Troy for the episode art!

In this episode, we read from the five papers recently published by the Comet Research Group in their new journal, about evidence for an airburst that destroyed Abu Hureyra ~12,800 years ago, and comparisons of impact proxies at Meteor Crater to materials found at known nuclear test sites.  There is also a paper about a possible impact or airburst much more recently, around 700BC, over Kansas, that was witnessed by the native american Pawnee. We also discuss the new paper about Gunung Padang, a megalithic mound in Indonesia that has evidence it's earliest building phase may be as much as 24,000 years old.

Drew joins us for the final episode on his collection of tales about little people, fae folk, and pygmies, this time from the Americas. It is amazing to hear the striking similarities with stories from the other side of the world.   Thanks to Troy for the episode art!

We discuss some recent scientific discoveries in detail, reading from articles and the source papers about ancient solar storms that caused a massive increase in Carbon 14 in the atmosphere, and fossil prints at White Sands that definitively breaks the "Clovis First" model of the peopling of the Americas. In the final segment we discuss a bit about where our minds are at regarding all these mysteries, as well as future plans for exploration on the podcast and in the field. Hard to believe we've published 300 2+ hour episodes! Thanks for sticking with us, there's more to come!   Solar Superstorm article: https://earthsky.org/human-world/solar-superstorm-tree-rings-14300-years-carrington-miyake/ Paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/pdf/10.1098/rsta.2022.0206 Footprints article: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ancient-footprints-affirm-people-lived-in-the-americas-more-than-20-000-years-ago/

Guest Heather Shy, with degrees in business and finance, discusses accessing the 'Akashic Records' and ancestral knowledge through meditation and hypnosis visualization techniques. They explore connections between these different techniques and the philosophical implications of accessing this kind of information, along with topics like prayer, healing modalities, chakras, and astrology.

This week Drew takes us through the Arthur Conan Doyle saga with the fairies, and how he fell for hoaxed photographs....but we also read some of Doyle's writings on the subject of fae encounters, and they seem entirely rational. We then spend some time reading and discussing the topic of Homo Floresiensis, also known as the "hobbits" of the island of Flores. There are tales of encounters with "little people" that persist on this island to this day, despite the fact that the fossil evidence of these "hobbit" people is at least 12,000 years old, and perhaps as old as 50,000 years. We then move on to tales from Japan, with very similar themes, trickster beings that can be beneficial as long as the humans interacting with them abide by their word.   We will be performing at Howl at the Holler for the annular Eclipse on October the 14th, see the link for details: https://howlattheholler.com/ The Lebanon extension for our upcoming Egypt trip in February has a pre-extension, see the link for details: https://unchartedx.com/site/2023/09/28/feb-24-lebanon-tour-baalbek-still-available-now-with-8-day-jordan-option/   Thanks to all of you who support the show with donations and through Patreon.

Marty Garza joins us again for the 12th part in his series on the strange history of UFOs, aliens, magic, demons, spirituality, consciousness, psychic abilities, dark government agencies, wars, and weapons development. This time we dive deep into some strange connections in myth from ancient biblical and Hebrew texts, shamanism, contact with the spirit world, angels and demons, the Book of Enoch, and CIA projects researching psychic abilities. As always, Marty brings the goods with his detailed approach. We hope you enjoy this latest installment in the UFO series.   Thanks to Troy Hoover for the amazing episode art!

Drew returns for Part 2 of Tales of the Little People, an in depth look at the high strangeness contained in the stories of people's encounters with the supernatural in the form of the Fae Folk.  We discuss similarities with UFO and cryptid sightings in modern times, as well as ghosts, hauntings, and poltergeists.  The discussion then spills over into a Patreon extension.    Join our Patreon, support the show, and get access to continued discussions and bumper tunes! http://www.patreon.com/brothersoftheserpent   --Episode art by Troy Hoover--

Long time listener and friend of the show Drew(LP McQuack in the Discord) joins us this episode to discuss one of our favorite SnakeBros topics - the Little People. Fairies, the Fae, the Good Folk, the Sidhe....they are known by many names and come in many forms. In this episode, the first of a series on this topic, Drew takes us through a collection of tales of the Little People, with weird common elements and high strangeness.   Executive Producers: Jess Redmon Andrea Johnson
