Episode 69: Cathleen Allen of @timeline.alchemy!

Cathleen Allen went viral this summer and authored the now iconic meme phrase "I'm a Connecticut hedge fund wife whose lifestyle was obliterated by sudden onset clairvoyance that started showing me evil spirits behind the veil."

I spoke with her about her sudden onset clairvoyance, going viral, seeing dark energy, helping people achieve their highest timelines, soul contracts, past lives, visiting the underworld, spirit guides, and a lot more. She's the real deal!

Hope you all enjoy this episode. You can find Cathleen on Instagram @timeline.alchemy and on the web at cathleenallen.com

We get into her experience of releasing such a personal book, her concerns about pathologizing and commodifying illness, and her reflections on diagnosis and the power of narrative. We also discuss her upbringing in a spiritually diverse environment, her fascination with religious history, particularly the life of Jesus, and her thoughts on syncretism.

Episode 65: With Meredith Graves! Meredith shares her personal journey into witchcraft, her upbringing in a non-religious household, and her interactions with various religious communities. We delve into the cultural role of witches and Meredith discusses her upcoming presentation at the Salem Witchcraft and Folklore Festival, examining the concept of the 'Good Witch' and the implications of magic as a state-controlled entity.

Other topics include the spiritual significance of knitting, the philosophy of magic, and how cultural and historical contexts shape the understanding and practice of witchcraft.
