Voodoo is a complex and atypical religion that has spread through the Americas through the American Slave Trade from West Africa. It was derived from Vudon, a belief system that propagated countries like Nigeria, Togo, and Ghana. An oral religion and possibly one of the oldest.  During it’s theistic evolution through the years it has combined elements of Catholicism, Christianity, Mysticism, and even Folklore. It has well over 5 million followers today, with worshippers spread throughout South America, the Caribbean Islands, and the Southern United States.  Voodoo has been sensationalized and twisted by pop-culture. Although, to the modern ideal it’s viewed with aberrancy and speculation, the belief of it’s congregants is absolutely serious. Look beyond the corner shops and tourist traps and you’ll find a religion that is living and breathing.  Podcast Art: Robert Neal

14. Interview (Voodoo) w/ Kaleb Mitchell - Spaghetti in the Bedroom

Top 'o the morning, friends! Join Robert, on this the month of Saint Patrick's day, as he's joined by great friend of the show, Jed Shook! Together, we'll discuss the titular man of the holiday himself, his deeds, history, and his legends. You might have heard of the snakes before, but this is only the beginning of the rabbit hole, friends. The myths of Saint Patrick are vast, and frankly, sometimes they get absolutely CRAZY. Join the boys as we discuss the reasoning behind these legends, the evolution of Catholic story telling, and the discovery that Robert might have a deep family connection to this story!

11th Hour - Saint Patrick w/ Jed Shook

With Bryan back, the Boys analyze their first story of the modern era. The Case of the Cottingley Fairies.  In 1917, two little girls from West Yorkshire, England would capture photographs of fairies. For the first time, believers of the paranormal had their first tangible evidence of mythical beings. Spiritualism and Mediums were in the height of their popularity and these pictures would begin a hotbed of investigation, debate, and eventual humiliation. Containing clairvoyants, famous writers, and theosophists; this story is remembered as a unique tale from the beginning of the century.

13. Case of the Cottingley Fairies - “That’s a BIG Ol' Rug”

For 11th Hour's second outing, Robert is joined by David to enjoy a sampling of Norse monsters and creatures. Together, they examine the legendary beings themselves, and maybe how the psychology of the time would lead to their creation. We have four beautiful topics today, all ranging from the spooky Gjengenger, to down right wacky family-friendly animated movie hero himself; Ratatoskr!
