I Know, You Know, They Know: Akashic Records, Thieving Creatures, and Telepathy
In Charmed Season 2, Episode 7, guest star Eric (Misha Collins) deciphers an ancient map to the Akashic Records—a mystical book said to contain all knowledge and predict the future. In today’s episode, we’ll break down what the Akashic Records actually are, look at mythological knowledge-stealing creatures, and briefly explore if you can test for telepathic abilities.
Trigger Warning: Some reference to animal mutilations and death.
