For centuries, royal families have ruled under the claim of divine right. But behind the gold crowns and palace walls, many monarchs turned to astrologers, mystics, alchemists, and so-called prophets for guidance.In this episode of GITN, we examine the hidden connection between royalty and the occult.From Queen Elizabeth I’s advisor John Dee, who claimed to speak with angels…to Catherine de’ Medici’s reliance on Nostradamus…to Rudolf II funding alchemy experiments inside Prague Castle…to Rasputin’s mysterious influence over the Romanovs…and the lingering myth of a Habsburg curse tied to royal tragedy.Were these rulers desperate for control in chaotic times?Was the occult used as political theater?Or did secrecy around power create legends that still haunt history?We separate fact from rumor, dive into documented history, and explore how belief in the supernatural shaped some of the most powerful dynasties on Earth.Because when kings and queens look to the stars for answers…history doesn’t stay stable for long.This is GITN.
