It's all in a title!

Lets dive into some narrative folklore and light analysis related to the little folk and the abduction phenomenon!

Happy Spooky Season!

I am continually pleased when guest who I truly admire and follow say 'yes' to coming on my silly little internet show and tonight is no different. I am joined by Miguel Conner of Aeon Byte Podcast and thegodabovegod.com for a nice little coffee table discussing on Gnosticism and some of it's many varied facets. If you have been following me for any amount of time you know my interest in Gnostic thought and that I fashion many of my spiritual ideas in the vein of certain Gnostic and Hermetic sects. Miguel is a deep diver into these waters and brings fascinating conversations to the wider world via his Aeon Byte podcast, his God Above God web-site, and his Astro-Gnosis conventions. This show is a nice peek through the cracks into a subject and spiritual way of thinking that might hold more alure than the average listener realizes!

He also is the creator of the Gnostic Tarot and publishes a Gnostic newsletter, all of which you can learn more about here:

Hey, its episode one of our bonus "Spooky Season" programing! Get ready because new short episodes will drop randomly between now and November the 1'st in honor of the thinning of the veil!

Most of this seasons episodes will be narrative re-tellings of fairy tales with a few surprise topics here and there. This first episode is a bit different as I focused on one of my passions; Almanacs.

As the publisher of the only and first ever Practical Distillers Almanac and a practicing astrologist I would be remiss if I didn't pay tribute to the history of those stalwart brown paper books so prevelant in rural homes growing up in Southern Indiana and Kentucky. The Old Farmers Almanac and Farmers Almanac are touched on briefly as well as a general history of Almanacs and some Hoosier Folklore!

Please remember to leave us a five star review and help us draw new listeners, I can't express how important that is to the continuation of this show!

The new 2025 Practical Distillers Almanac is in editing now and set to head to the printers in late October for November/December shipping, keep an eye on www.thealchemistcabinet.com for more information!

Tonight we are joined by the always excellent Chucky Danger and our good friend Noah from Bullwarg. As you can imagine the topics are wide ranging and getting the two of them together has been a pleasure for me. The knowledge these two men carry is astounding and to boot they are just all around good guys.

If you guys aren't following CounterCult podcast you are missing out on great information and a good time, check it out here:

We are joined once again by our good friend Chucky Danger for a wide-ranging conversation touching on many topics including the strangeness in the sky, distilling, the Montana Wall, the Olympics, and some of the more esoteric aspect of water!

It's always a blast hanging with Chucky, his knowledge spanning many topics, and we always have a dynamic conversation that I walk away from with a ton of information and insight.

Tonight, we are joined by Savannah who runs the popular TikTok channel "That Witch Up The Holler" to talk about astrology, Appalachian folklore, her publications, and store bought memaw. This show was an absolute pleasure for Kim and I, to be truthful it was Savannah's channel that helped me pull out of the deep shadow work I went through last fall that nearly physically destroyed me and forced me to get back into the root work that I grew up with and start work on the first volume of The Practical Distillers Almanac.

You can check out her YouTube channel here:

Tonight, Kim and I are joined by out sister Kelly Tennille of Whiskey Thief Distilling to discuss the legend of Two Mile Sasquatch as well as other strangeness both within and outside of the world of distilling which we share. Kelly is always a blast and is one of the single most talented young distillers in the United States. Her work with essential oil distillation is also discussed in this episode and it's just a good all around conversation!

Don't forget to check out www.thealchemistcabinet.com for all of our projects and keep an eye out on the Warehouse section there for our Practical Distillers Almanac 2025 coming soon which serves as both a traditional almanac and a light Grimoire.

Tonight we are joined by Brandon of the Tinfoil Tales podcast to discuss the high strangeness surrounding us in this realm! Brandon dives into his highly Fortean cryptid encounter in Indiana and we go into the Mandela effect, including personal effects thereof.

If you havent checked out Tinfoil Tales I highly encourage you too, particularly for the conspiracy deep dives. Check it out here:
