Stirring the Cauldron

Steven Intermill is the Director at Buckland Museum of Witchcraft & Magick.Raymond Buckland founded the museum  in 1966. After visiting the late Gerald Gardner and his collection on the Isle of Man, Raymond was inspired to start a collection of his own. While working for British Airways, he was able to acquire many of the artifacts in this collection from all around the world. He initially displayed his museum on a few shelves in the basement of his Long Island, N.Y. home. However, over time, Raymond’s witchcraft collection rapidly grew to well over 500 artifacts, ranging from Ancient Egyptian ushabtis to documented artifacts from the Salem Witch trials. This was the first museum of its kind in the United States with an anthropological approach to the world of folklore and the supernatural. Come with Tim Shaw and Marla  for an armchair visit.

Vampire . . . the word immediately conjures up bloodstained fangs, an aversion to sunlight, bats, garlic, and wooden stakes. These undead immortals have haunted our favorite books, television shows, and movies for decades. This exploration of a seemingly supernatural topic delves into past traditions around the world and how those traditions have affected our pop-culture modern-day monster. Explore belief systems as well as origins of various notions we all seem to have about vampires, and unearth the bloody dirt about this mystical creature. Discover differences and similarities between the realm of folklore and what modern media has taught us. Did villagers really use wooden stakes, garlic, and mirrors? What about vampires turning into bats or hypnotizing victims? Did they really cause disease, turn into dogs, and sleep in coffins? Topics are arranged by trait so that the reader can consider each characteristic before believing or dismissing it. So . . . if you’re ready, let’s hunt some vampires.

In the winter of 1985, strange occurrences began to transpire inside Erie Hall on the college campus at Geneseo, New York. Over a period of several months, a number of the students would have their lives forever altered by a series of paranormal events. Apparitions sighted, strange voices heard and moving objects witnessed all became part of the experience shared by those young adults now over twenty years ago. Through the considered efforts of several of these students, a recorded history now exists detailing the day-to-day terror these unsuspecting college dorm mates underwent. Photographs, voice recordings, scribbled notes and formal written journals all now serve to authenticate the events that unfolded around them.  Even though the C2D1 Haunting took place years ago, it is still talked about and all the people who experienced this frightful time will never forget. Christopher is an extreme haunting survivor and still has a lot to say about a time that changed his life forever..  ,

Stonehenge is just one of thousands of stone circles erected throughout Britain and Ireland for over three millennia from 3,000 BC on. How did this building tradition survive for so long, over such a large area and with such complexity and uniformity, when the people of the British Isles lived in separate, isolated communities and left no evidence of a central leadership or obvious communication network? Graham Phillips argues that these stone circles are evidence of an astonishing system of healthcare and preservation of ancient medical knowledge that held together a society scattered across the British Isles. With stones aligned to the sun, moon, and certain stars, these ancient monuments enabled the precise timings necessary for the cultivation of medicinal plants. He explains how the megalithic priesthood possessed medical knowledge well beyond their time and may even have discovered a cure for cancer. Furthermore, because they had no form of writing, the megalithic people developed phenomenal memory techniques to preserve their knowledge over many generations, resulting in a class of wisdomkeepers that were not only healers but the living libraries of their culture. Drawing upon the latest discoveries from recent archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material, Phillips reveals that the megalithic culture survived far longer than previously thought and that the people who held it together were an enigmatic shamanic sect ultimately called the Druids. Uncovering the secrets of ancient megalithic culture and the purpose of their enigmatic stone circles, Phillips contends that all the evidence has now been gathered to unlock the secrets encoded in the stones--and perhaps discover remedies for diseases still uncured by modern medicine today.

Greg Bakun is the host of the radio show Ghost Box Radio. Ghost boxes , which are also referred to as Spirit Boxes and half a dozen other names. Not only did we talk about the Ghost Boxes, from the old Radio Shack Hack box  that people made for themselves, to the current models that are ready to go and greatly improved.   Greg also brought  some really good audio clips ro share  that he captured.

Willie has been a guest on the show several times throughout the years and we keep in touch.  A couple of weeks ago  we were chatting, and mentioned that he was  doing some magazine writing about some of his adventures so I asked him if he had enough stories to fill the hour and join us tonight and he said he had 57 years of stories to tell.  On this week's show, he told several tales including one of being called in the capacity of paranormal consultant to a very disturbed home that was slowly making the homeowner quite ill. When he found an open portal in the back yard, and a terrible, negative atmosphere in the house, he found himself going up against a very powerful force. 

The multiverse is a term that scientists use to describe the idea that beyond the observable universe, other universes may exist as well.  Multiverse theory suggests that our universe, with all its hundreds of billions of galaxies and almost countless stars, spanning tens of billions of light-years, may not be the only one. Instead, there may be an entirely different universe, distantly separated from ours — and another, and another. Indeed, there may be an infinity of universes, all with their own laws of physics, their own collections of stars and galaxies (if stars and galaxies can exist in those universes), and maybe even their own intelligent civilizations. Author Dinah Roseberry's novel Three Months To Change, takes place within the mysterious Multiverse that we'll be talking about during the show.

If you think you're going to die, then you're in for a big surprise. This book will not only challenge your assumptions, it will give you the proof that you never thought existed. Not only are there substantial scientific studies indicating that our consciousness survives death, but those on the other side have come back time and time again with evidential messages for their loved ones. Josie Varga has assembled an incomparable collection of what she terms visits from heaven from around the globe and backed up by testimony from some of the world s leading experts on afterlife communication: This groundbreaking book will lead you to question your own mortality with the realization that we are all eternal energy beings, and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. When you reach the end of this book, you will find that the most prudent explanation is that there is nothing final about death. You always were, and you always will be.

Are ETs healing humans?The answer, of course, is yes! In this landmark book, The Healing Power of UFOs, leading UFO researcher, Preston Dennett, presents a fascinating compilation of more than 300 cases of people who have been healed by extraterrestrials. Supported by firsthand eyewitness testimonies, stretching back more than 100 years to the present day, coming from across the United States and the world, this book proves that healing humans is one of the primary alien agendas on our planet. Verified by doctors and leading UFO researchers, the UFO healing cases represent incontrovertible evidence of UFO reality. Preston Dennett began his research into UFO healings in the early 1990s. His first book, UFO Healings (1996, Wild Flower Press) was the first book published on the subject, and presented more than 100 cases. This new volume presents the original cases (with new information) plus 200 more, many of which have never been published before. Preston Dennett has been documenting and researching healing cases for more than 25 years and is the world’s leading expert on UFO healing accounts. This landmark book is the culmination of his research and settles the question once and for all that medical healings as the result of a UFO encounter do actually happen.The healings include a wide variety of conditions. Injuries and flesh wounds, colds, flu and infections, serious diseases--all have been cured by ETs. Inside you will find:•More than 70 healings of injuries.•More than 50 healings of colds, minor illnesses and ailments.•More than 120 healings of serious illnesses and chronic diseases.•More than 40 healings of cancer.•Cases involving “health upgrades.”•Cases involving healings of animals and even plants.•A study of the connection between UFO abductions and psychic healing.•Accounts in which people have been “rescued” by ETs.•A study of miraculous cures from angels, NDEs, OBEs, lightning strikes, past life therapy, Native American ceremonial healings and more.•Evidence that our governments have obtained UFO healing technology and are using it for themselves.Who is being healed and why? What types of ETs are doing the healing? How are these healings being done? Are ETs our friends or foes? This massive 500-page book dives into the heart of the phenomenon and answers all these questions and more. Ignored for far too long, the UFO healing cases show a positive aspect to a phenomenon that has been saturated with disinformation for decades. The truth can no longer be denied. The aliens have arrived and as this book will show, one of their primary missions is the healing of all humanity.
