This week, we look beyond the campfire and into stories that have lived for thousands of years. We’re honoring Indigenous People’s Day by sharing four spirits that still walk between worlds The Wendigo, Deer Woman, The Stick Indians, and Coyote the Trickster. They’re not just myths. They’re lessons about greed, balance, and the price of forgetting who we are.

Political aspirations, royal dynasties, and even the wrestling ring. Some families seem destined for greatness, yet shadowed by an unshakable curse. This week, we explore three families whose legacies were built on power, ambition, and tragedy: the Shah Royal Family of Nepal, whose monarchy ended in blood; the Von Erichs, wrestling legends haunted by loss; and the Kennedys, America’s own dynasty plagued by untimely deaths and scandal. Were these simply coincidences, or something far darker woven into their names?
