Hi! We're Angela, Jean & Valerie -- aka 'The Daemons' -- we talk about the All Souls Series by Deborah Harkness.

Due to be released in November, Dr. Diana Walsh-Pasulka’s second book on the UFO subject is to me is a portrait of the UFO phenomenon as manifested personally among those who are interested in the subject. In this way, it is more of a teaching text than a narrative, as her first volume, American Cosmic was. It examines personal truths about the dir…

I have known Thea Wirsching for a few months and my respect for her intellect and deep knowledge of tarot and astrology and their place in American History continues to amaze. Her advice and her singular project entitled the American Renaissance Tarot was one of the guides and inspirations for our own Ufology Tarot. She recently gave a fascinating …

To me, Jeff Kripal’s new book, The Superhumanities is a call to action and a radical reassessment of not just the humanities, but what it means to be human and the potential of what it could mean. You cannot skim this book. It is one of those rare volumes where every sentence and every word is essential. Kripal also eschews the language of the acad…

Dr. Michael Masters is a professor of biological anthropology at Montana Tech in Butte, Montana. His 2019 book was Identified Flying Objects: A Multidisciplinary Scientific Approach to the UFO Phenomenon, which hypothesized that ‘UFOs’ and ‘Aliens’ are our human descendants returning from the future, and which we discussed on RM. His new book, The …

Joshua Cutchin’s new book Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal is a combination of “I knew that” and “How did I not know that?” for me. It seemed that rather than being a rare and ephemeral thing, that placing the UFO experience in the context of something eventually encountered by everyone, namely death, that the seemingly i…

I met remote viewing pioneer Paul Smith at the recent Archives of the Impossible conference in Houston, TX in March. We hit it off immediately and I suggested he come on RM. Smith has been teaching remote viewing (RV) techniques to the public for longer than anyone in the business. He was recruited to the U.S. Army’s State Gate RV program in 1984 a…

A small group has been working for over a year to bring a project to light, and it has finally appeared this week as the Ufology Tarot. This stems from an idea I had a few years ago to encode notable Ufologists, witnesses, and cases in a system of tarot in order to honor, examine, and especially connect them with directly with the user/ reader on a…

Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum (1946-??) In 2019, I told my friend Miguel Romero about the little-known Mexican parapsychologist Dr. Jacobo Grinberg Zylberbaum, but we could find little about him online, except for a few sensationalized articles in Spanish. This year, a documentary on his life, work, and mysterious disappearance in 1994 at the age of 4…

TBOL ch 16 Episode description: Chapter 16 offers us a much needed off-ramp to the familiar roads we are used to traveling on; books, libraries, labs. Miriam is there to gain control of the situation, and Gallowglass is present to lighten the mood of the situation in question. Diana is getting warmer as far as the missing page(s) trail, and Matthew…

TBOL ch 14 Episode description: This title, in our opinion, requires explanation. The word "Bish" (substitute for "Bitch". We substituted the term to avoid distributor problems; Apple Podcasts, Google, Spotify, etc. frown upon titling episodes with *ahem* foul language), is a description for OUR process. WE find Chris to be a conundrum. On the one …

TBOL ch 13 It's time for Benjamin to triple-down on his awfulness. This time, he relishes in terrorizing Miriam to the point of her chanting prayers while in distress. No fear, Miriam. Chris will save the day! Maybe. In the meantime, Matthew tries to keep his cool, while Diana walks a tightrope between quelling Matthew's protectiveness, and trying …

TBOL ch 12 Our reentry into the chapter universe lands us at the Bishop House on Diana's Birthday. Happy Birthday Diana! You get a d*ck in a box, and a reunion with your BFF, Chris! Wait, what?!

It was suggested that I restart the “popup” idea in order to get back to posting shows more often. These programs are about 30 minutes in length and posted within a day of the interview. Susan‘s latest book is entitled Cosmic Witch, and we discussed the events, ideas, and research that led to its writing. Susan sees definite connections between par…

S2 Bonus "That's a wrap!" That's it for the season until next year, and that's it for us until (on/about) the middle of May! We share our fond memories of covering the 10 episodes of this season, along with what we loved, and parts that, in our opinions, maybe fell a little short. Overall, this season -- for us -- did just what it was supposed to a…

S2 Bonus Jane Tranter, co-founder of Bad Wolf Productions, and the British super-producer behind the likes of “His Dark Materials,” “The Night Of,” “Succession,” and (listed last, but certainly NOT regarded least) “A Discovery of Witches,” agreed to a sit-down with us; we discussed all sorts of things regarding the production of ADOW Season 2. From…

S2E10 Jean calls this episode a prologue to Season 3, and it is, but it does manage to tie up Season 2 sufficiently enough for us. We say goodbye to Goody, the coven, Susanna, Father Hubbard, Pierre, Françoise, Jack (!), and Gallowglass in 1591. AND there is the "Hello/Goodbye" to Diana's Dad, Stephen Proctor! Meanwhile, we are getting a glimpse of…

S2E9 Where shall we begin? Let's start at the end: Heart vein! Kit and Louisa's botched revenge! Queen Elizabeth I! Walter Raleigh shows himself to be useless! A house raid! Meeting a weaver's familiar! William Cecil (Lord Burghley) is an an a$$hole! Kit tests Matthew's patience! A baby?!! Is Goody is on death's door?! Matthew puts his foot down! A…

S2E8 Diana studies the "Book of Death" with vigor, but she's not getting the answers she wants, and as a result, we aren't getting a lot of information either! So, let's go back to the future to try to get some news from the home-front. Emily is still calling up the dead, Sarah busts her, and is rather pissed about it. Ysabeau scraps some more with…

S2E7 After departing France, Sept-Tours, and Philippe de Clermont, we feel road-weary -- but the initial reason for this trip was to go to Bohemia and retrieve Edward Kelley and Ashmole 782. The Queen DID give her orders, so off we go. We are met with a ruler who encompasses all of the deadly sins, Emperor Rudolf II. The machinations involved to so…
  continue reading
 
S2E6 Philippe de Clermont doesn't suffer fools lightly. Right now, he's got a couple of fools to deal with in his own house: Diana and Matthew ... yeah, we said it! We play the empathy game, put ourselves in Philippe's shoes, and see that these two star-crossed lovers are gonna make a mess if they don't alter their course soon! Like a weaver, Phili…
  continue reading
 
S2E5 As we make the long hard journey to France (while "roughing" it), Diana receives a lot of advice along the way on how to manage Philippe. Matthew's advice sort of fell flat for us, because he's still the difficult stubborn vampire we've all come to know and love. The correct answer -- of course -- is that no one manages Philippe. Also, side-sa…
  continue reading
 
S2E4 We travel back to the future to visit with Marcus, Ysabeau, Sarah, Emily, Nathaniel and Sophie! With the good, we get the bad ... we spy a Gerbert, a Peter, and a Domenico! We also get to meet Phoebe, who is new to us in this series, but we should probably pay attention to her, because she has a vital role in Marcus's future; reading the books…
