Episode 5- Dark Crystals

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Dark Crystals…No, I don’t mean the 1980’s film and Netflix reboot. However, the 80’s film was pretty awesome from what I can remember from watching it during my childhood. What I’m talking about is…you guessed it, more magical rocks!!! Join me as I explore the metaphysical, folklore, and geology of 4.5 mystical, magical black rocks: Obsidian, Apache Tear, Obsidian, Tourmaline, Onyx, and Hematite.

Episode 2 - The Doppelganger

Episode 2 - The Doppelganger

The word doppelgänger originated from German folklore. The translation of doppelgänger is “double-goer” or “double-walker”. Today the term is used to describe non-relatives that share a likeness or resemblance, but the folklore behind the word suggests a more sinister history. Stories of paranormal encounters with living apparitions or body doubles span cultures throughout history. Is seeing a doppelgänger actually a mystical experience or is it an alteration of perception caused by neurological abnormalities?
This episode explores the folklore, pop culture, sci-fi, social media trends, physics, cosmology, and neuroscience surrounding doppelgangers!
