A Place of Wild Enchantment....with a Trigger Warning
It's been a hard week and the gals are weary. So, why are they laughing so much? How in the world did they manage to sneak in a longer than average episode (1hr 15min!). We hope you enjoy the sounds of two giddy gals stuck in a hurricane's aftermath in Asheville.
*Note TRIGGER WARNINGS all over this episode. Animals, people, death & suffering. This episode is not for the squeamish or folks with a nervous disposition.

Thanks for listening! Thanks for the help with supplies, money, advice, gift cards, podcast shares, and baked goodies.
Please don't forget us here in WNC. We're still hurting & probably will be for a long time to come.

This episode finds the gals taking a break to record & naturally the conversation turns to the upcoming election, and music, and lucid dreams, and and and ...
The gals are tired but grateful for the many good things. Too many to name them all. It just feels good to sit in the quiet cool (also quite cool!) little temple and take some time to relax and share some stories.

*Note - This is our life since Helene gut-punched our region. We're it sharing with you unvarnished. No opening music yet-it's not time. (But soon!). We're getting there. If y'all keep helping with donations for those in need, kind works, or whatever you can do, it WILL happen. We'll Survive Helene. And these damned political commercials too.
Thank you for sharing our podcast. It really helps us!

**This episode has been edited so much that it's almost wholesome.

Come take a listen as the gals "do what they do" post Helene at the Mother Grove Temple in Asheville, NC. We're not even pretending life is back to any kind of normal (whatever that means). Lots of background sounds as the work seems to never stop. We hope you enjoy.

Thanks for listening! We really appreciate it.

Alicia is ready for the country to settle down. She & Byron have a calmer than usual conversation hitting on alot of their normal topics--real estate, politics ("what is wrong with this country?"), being a kid, death, old memories, the veil, and the like. You can tell Samhain is already having an effect on them...

Hypnic jerks — also called sleep starts — are sudden, involuntary muscle contractions you may experience as you are falling asleep. Hypnic is short for hypnagogic, a word that describes the transition between wakefulness to sleep, which is when these jerks occur.
Revelation 3:20 (King James Version) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Byron doesn't want to camp on the ground anymore, Joe inadvertently names the podcast, and Alicia falls into the YouTube rabbit-hole. They find out that they were both in love with Jacques Cousteau. The subjects are wide-ranging with at least one trigger warning, maybe more. Not too many crows though! We hope you enjoy this episode.

TRIGGER WARNING!! Sexual deviancy discussed and who knows what else? Don't listen if you are sensitive to strangeness and/or worldly topics.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events

In the Bible, Matthew 24:36 says, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only". This verse is about when the Son of Man will come, and it compares it to the days of Noah. In Noah's time, people were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage until the day the flood came and took them all away. The verse says that when the Son of Man comes, it will be similar, and that people will not know what will happen until it happens.
