We dive into Season 10, Episode 18 The Book of the Damned! We cheer the return of Charlie and boo the return of more Winchester lies! Lore continues the trials of the Witch of King's Cross, Rosaleen Norton, focusing on Australian vagrancy laws. It ties in, we promise, kinda.

It’s Season 10, Episode 17 Inside Man. We are so happy to get to spend some time with Bobby and watch Rowena’s spell work. We continue the story of Rosaleen Norton’s, the Witch of King’ Cross, and the obscenity trial of her 1949 Melbourne exhibit.

AI suggested we title this episode "The Enigmatic Hamster Jewelry: A Unique Discussion" and that is a probably an accurate summary because we do spend an inordinate amount of time pondering jewelry for hamsters. We do talk about Season 10, Episode 16 "Paint It Black" and argue about whether or not Piero was an F boy. And then we do part 1 of the story of Rosaleen Norton, the Witch of King's Cross, focusing on her coven, the Goat Fold religion, and their practices.
