This week, Reese and Dennis discuss the root of self-love, and the fear that it can inspire. How do we truly own our sovereignty without devolving into conceit? This is explored through a guided meditation from Creator Edward Art Supply Hands, linked below, and extended conversation!

This week, Dennis and Reese discuss love, past relationships, tradwives, and more!

Note: For the discussion around Tradwives, we failed to explicitly clarify the difference between women who enjoy aspects of femininity considered “traditional” from the ideology of “Tradwives.” Staying at home, enjoying baking, making certain clothing choices, etc. are not exclusive to Tradwife ideology, and are not discordant with feminism.

The 72 spirits of the Goetia are listed in the grimoire "The Lesser Key of Solomon," also known as "Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis." This text was compiled in the mid-17th century from older sources. Ose (also spelled Osé, Oze, Oso, or Voso) is indeed listed as the 57th spirit (not the 47th). Ose is described as a Great President of Hell, ruling three legions of demons

The story of Hernán Cortés burning or sinking his ships upon arriving in Mexico is a well-known historical anecdote, though its accuracy is debated. According to historical sources, Cortés did not actually burn his ships, but rather beached and scuttled them. This was done to prevent dissent among his men and to cut off the possibility of returning to Cuba. Cortés himself stated in a letter that he beached the boats, while other accounts suggest he stripped them of useful parts before sinking some of them
