Blasphemy

Listen in as Chris explains the information Helena claims to have gotten from the Masters via all kinds of shenanigans and cons. As she lays out her divinely inspired story of human evolution and development, we see her appropriation of "scientific" theories and ideas swirling around at the time. Ideas that laid the groundwork for racial struggles we are still dealing with. Researched, Written, Performed, and Edited by: Chris and Marnee Setty Theme Music: Slow Fade by Thörr

As Chris and Marnee continue their exploration of Spiritualism and Helena Blavatsky's influence on the movement, he covers the establishment of her official organization, The Theosophical Society, and all the fun, very human twists and turns it took along the way.

In the latter half of the 19th century, a fervor overtook the United States. It became the fastest growing religion through the end of the century and is known as Spiritualism. From within this cacophony emerged one of the most influential figures in western esoteric thought. Her name was Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, and the ideas she would make up would spread across Europe and the United States, beliefs that would lead to some really dastardly shit. Join us as Chris takes Marnee through the roots and development of the Spiritualist movement, and introduces The Notorious HPB.

Join Chris as he takes Marnee through the origins, development, and various paths that the myth of the magical gift giver himself took in order to get to us in his current form. Like most beliefs, this one was forged through the pressures, experiences, imaginations, and practical needs of good old humans.

As we continue our look into Christmas, we get a look at the ideas and concepts that formed the foundations of our world. Perspectives that we used to encode meaning and significance into our philosophies, religions, mythologies, societies, and virtually everything. Knowing the language underneath can bring us a lot more understanding around what is actually being said in scenes such as the Nativity of Jesus. Join Chris as he takes Marnee through the Astrological underpinnings of our world and thinking, even the story of Jesus. This one is blasphemous - and long - so settle in and hopefully you stay with us. Researched, Written, and Performed by: Chris Setty Theme Song: Slow Fade by Thorr

We have heard it said in the media over the last 15 years or so that Christmas is under attack by filthy pagans who are trying to stamp out the true meaning of the season. Join Chris as he takes Marnee through the history of the traditions, the ups and downs of its use and acceptance, and the eventual invention of what we have come to know as Christmas.

As the moral panic around Dungeons and Dragons evolved throughout the 80s and 90s, one person in particular would largely shape the narrative being sold to the public, and the police, about occult crimes and their link to the evil influence of the game. Her name was Patricia Pulling, and her tale is one of tragedy, loss, and pain. Pain which she redirected into a full-blown mission to fight the Devil as he lured innocent teenagers into suicide and murder through D&D.

In Part 2, we take a look at the moral crusaders who flooded in to take advantage of the panic over Dungeons & Dragons. It includes a whole host of dubious characters preying upon gullibility. Join Chris as he sits down with Marnee to continue the Satan's RPG series, revealing who the real magical thinkers are.

In the 1980s and 90s, a game came under attack for being a portal to Satanic forces, evil powers that were capturing the minds of impressionable young people, causing them to lose grip with reality, or worse, falling into league with the Devil. This led to beliefs around Dungeons & Dragons tying all kinds of societal issues to its dark influence. Join us as Chris takes Marnee through Part 1 where we discuss what kicked this whole thing off.

Listen as we conclude the Adrenochrome conspiracy theory in Part 2, where Chris sits down with Marnee to explain what Adrenochrome is, how it broke into the popular zeitgeist, and the pretty disgusting path it has taken to become the modern day Blood Libel.
