In this episode we reengage the false-but-true world of the metaphysical hoaxer. This time, we focus on the life and works of anthropologist turned shaman Carlos Castaneda and the many weird scenes and threads which make up his quintessentially American story. Plus: detours through Fellini, Michael Wolf, Ufology, and CU staples like Gray Barker.

Willow Trueman on Channeling Strangeness, Synchronicity, Hypnosis and Much More..

A brief missive from the upturned tortoise shell wherein a soup of syncs bubbles over. Audiobook vortices, the on-high writer writing the writer, and more reckless cosmic speculation.
