During the height of the second World War, the face of American Intelligence would be changed forever. The age of honorable warfare and gentleman diplomacy were over, soon to be replaced by systems of bureaucratic espionage. The O.S.S. was the forerunner to the modern CIA, and set the precedent for underhanded and often immoral tactics to be used not only enemy armies but also local populace. Join Matt K Ultra and Roswell as they dive into the history, major players, and seedy elements of America's first intelligence agency. 

A primer to grimoires, books of magic and ritual. Establishing a history of spell books, an insight into their cultural perception through the years, and how these tomes of old fit into the early modern world. 

Please allow us to introduce ourselves, we are men of wealth and taste (not really). Welcome to Historica Esoterica, a show where affable hosts MattKUltra & Roswell explore the darker aspects of history, conspiracy and the arcane. A (hopefully) rational look at the fantastical truths, theories, and lore that bubble in the cracks of history.
