Lifemancy

Dive into the nightmares of sleep paralysis also known as Old Hag Syndrome. Cultures across the world have created similar folklore surrounding this physiological phenomenon despite being separated by space and time.

Suffering from sleep paralysis is more common than you think. And more people have seen the horrors of the hag than likely want to admit it. It makes you wonder if there isn’t something more to the story. Something real. 

Is the Old Hag a witch? A demon? Something else? 

Timothy Grieve-Carlson weighs in with his thoughts, and Rachel digs into the idea of the Biblical Lilith as the progenitor of the Old Hag. Carl Jung also throws his two cents in with Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious. 

This Halloween Special is full of demonic tricks and treats.

When lightning struck Elizabeth Krohn outside a Houston Synagogue, she left her body and traveled to a lush garden where she had a spiritual experience which proved that there is life after death. After she returned to her earthly body, she brought certain “superpowers” with her like precognition and an ability to see the dead.

She wrote about her story with Jeffrey J. Kripal, Associate Dean of the School of Humanities at Rice University in the book, Changed in a Flash. Together they have combined spirituality and science to place Elizabeth’s near death experience and psychic awakening into context.

Rachel meets with Jeffrey J. Kripal at Rice University to talk about Elizabeth’s abilities, paranormal phenomena, spacetime, and the afterlife.

Since the very first humans walked the earth, we have wanted to know our futures. Whether driven by curiosity or fear, we have a persistent need to know what will happen next. And anytime we reach the limits of our understanding, we turn to divination. Love, career, money, existential doom, there’s no question too big or too trivial when it comes to our happiness, security, and survival.

Rachel explores science-fiction futures, ancient divination systems, and cognitive thin-slicing to show how your intuition might be your most reliable mystical tool for predicting the future. 

Hear Arthur C Clark’s predictions about the year 2000 from the 1964 World’s Fair and Michio Kaku’s predictions for a future we currently only dream about. Find out why the Greeks were obsessed with animal entrails. Listen to Carl Jung tell stories of intuition. And then, learn how to create your own divination dictionary using Apantomancy.
