More information can be found about Seth at: Home – A Black Hills Author We discuss his second book, which he reacquired the rights to and re-published as he intended the book to read. We also discuss his other three published books and the horror genre. We discuss plenty of horror and related properties. Among the many tributaries that get fed by the Garden.  After a deadly virus infects the global population, it throws all of the world’s inhabitants into two classes: the inflicted and the immune. Wyatt Tuck, a member of the Immune, finds himself inside a nightmarish onslaught of deadly feuds and riots. Losing his home and family brings him into the paths of other immune—his niece Layla, Easton, and coworker Mitch Burkly—and the opposing inflicted, such as Helen Olsen. When Helen and Tamera meet the Tucks and Mitch at Camp Belt, they will make a shocking discovery. At Camp Belt, an internment camp for the immune, Helen is promoted to Commander. She makes a shocking discovery about the two warring social classes and must rise to action. Will she choose to battle the rising forces created from the charred ash of the world’s dead society? Or does she dare hope to unite a darkened world so it can rise again into the light?

Prof. Chris Forth of the University of Kansas joins us to discuss all things Hyperborea. We're covering the bunk to de-bunk. And, as is the remit of this show, we shall travel in many directions. However, we do start with what Hyperborea literally means; historic roots in writings and legends/myths; and we move into more modern interpretations. Alon the way, we visit the Greeks. Conan the Barbarian, Lovecraft, Helena Blavatsky, Nazis, Agartha, and the list goes on. We get fairly current with how notions of Hyperborea feed into a "white" origin of man and into the Right Wing echosystem. I spend way too much time thinking about the potential of Pete Hegseth having tatoos mapping portals on Greenland as part of foreign policy. Trust me, I tie it all up neatly in a flawless logical bow. Or I don't. You judge,  For the record, I wanted to use the word Sybilene, but never quite found the right time. 

So, we're finally getting to the prohet Ezekial. But first....Yes, there's always something. First, we need to review the types and aspects of the angels. Which is related to the 10 levels and the tree of Life and the idealic man.  Ezekial actually chronicles the process and progression of all prophecies. He was the only one to put these experiences to words.  So, we go through his description and what they represent.  It's quite an education. 

Professor Rick Spence is back and he's covering a lot of ground. He's a retired Professor, an author, repeat presenter of The Great Courses, and co-host of As Strange As It Seems podcast. We cover the mythos and history of the Templars, how they might relate to Freemasons and others, and try to separate fact from legend. We also learn about the Yezidi, the Druze, and Rastafarianism. We touch on Cathars, Johnians and Manicheism. I'm sure I forgot a few. 

Buckley Warde, Esq. met me at one of our firm meetings. I made a reference to the Assyrians and he caught and understood the reference. Thus, he found himself booked on my podcast. Bet you didn't know there were lawyers that did actual fire investigations. Like at the sites. Neither did I. But that's a large part of Warden's practice. From the Florida Sale to the chef who moved too much, we have some tales that usually require CBS or Benoit Blanc to be provided. But that was before I came along.

Phil Marks re-enters the Garden to discuss sigil magick. And we do. But we swiftly entered into the worlds of hidden in plain sight symbology and conspiracy. Phil takes us through Hollywood to Epstein Island and cites names and items that left him wondering if he said too much. 

USA Today bestselling author, Dragon nominee, and award-winning journalist, Jeffery H. Haskell, lives and breathes writing. A passion of his from a young age, he can’t remember a time when he wasn’t telling stories. As a full-time author, he now pursues his life’s calling with the help of his amazing family. The only thing he likes as much as spending time with this family, writing, and speaking about writing, is helping other authors be successful. He will continue to write until he dies, possibly longer if allowed. More information can be found about Jeffery at: JHH – Science Fiction Author Jeff is also a veteran and wanted to write military science fiction. The problem was he wasn't good at it. Turns out he had a disability and once he searched for coping mechanisms, the words tuned good. We discuss his story, his influences. he favorite properties. We have a few disagreements. We also go over some of the science aspects of his works. The story will end up as a 12 book series. 

Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith of UCSB joins us to discuss the archeology, science and related aspects of Kush and neighboring regions that existed alongside ancient Egypt and whose histories are intertwined. This is a good companion show to the recent episode with Mogg Morgan. We confirmed where and what is Kush, Nubia, Punt, and some new names. Such as Yam. We settle the grography. We challenge the stereotypes of skin color homogeneity and words like "Kemet" and titles such as "Black Pharoahs".  We touch on some things like Sheba and Solomon and Exodus. But our main focus is Kush and the Kushites. There's even talk of a dancing pygmy as part of a historical record.  I also spend a minute or two burying Jimmy T.  

Welcome to the pilot and proof of concept show that brings reality TV to radio. Or whatever podcasts are. Your host, Jeff Lippman, talks to the planned, but no longer available, star - Shazza McKenzie! About the only podcast that combines the world and challenges of professional wrestling with semi targeting match making efforts, in a competition meets events style dating show called Booking for Love. The originial lyrics are by Jeff Lippman. The music is AI.  Shazza is Shazza, and cannot be duplicated by fractals, pixels and ones and zeros. 

We are graced once more by Prof. Jon F. White of Crecganford to discuss the mythological stories of Siberia, that made their way into America. We started with some Indo European basics and I got us off track almost immediately. However, we ventured back into the oldest stories including the Cosmic Hunt (not The Wild Hunt) and the Earth Diver.  Somewhere along the line I scratched an itch about Cain and Abel being the Indo European twins of husnabdry v pastoralist; or founder and sacrificer.  I didn't ask - yet - about Jacob wrestling with El and Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Maybe next time. Constellations came up. But which constellations. They're not the same now as they were then. But some are. Linguistics and story tracing has beaten genetics, but genetics and other science testing has supported what the Humanities already discovered. Now you can discover it too. 

Sheri Hoidra, Esquire, joins us again to give us her insights into the lawfare in immigration in the United States. She shares some war stories, frustrations and tales from the front lines. We also discuss some world events and politics. Two radical Centrists who are pretty disgusted with what has become of the rule of law. 

Bernie Taylor of beforeorion.com rejoins the show to discuss Gobekle Tepe and Ephesus. But, as always with Taylor, he’s got a swerve. We’re talking Avionoids, whether Artemis was the goddess at “the Temple of Artemis”, what is Anatolia, and more. We talk lions, palm dates, Amazons, Herculean murders, hunter gatherers to agriculturalists, and Hittites! That’s just a sampling. Plenty of zodiac and astronomy too. 

Welcome back Rex Bundy. He tells his journey of enlightenment and the purposes of his writings. What could be called Bundyism, is a merger of science and religion. We discuss some specific quantum physics reflected in the Pentateuch, or the 5 Books of Moses. Please enjoy this universal conversation brought down to ground level by your humble straw person (me). 

The NWA's AJ Cazana joins me to discuss elections. THE NWA Presidency of course. What did you think? We discuss free and fair elections. how nepotism is a lie, how his father won a free and fair election - easily, and how many ways AJ is over his brother. We also discuss some aspects of the potential new podcast effort between he and Silas Mason. This conversation goes far and wide but sticks tomy core topics of wrestling kayfabe, breaking a little kayfabe, and talking about the alternative parts of the world.  There's a fair amount of confusion over the corner store clerk's name and why Hunter Drake is always around.A few shout outs to Aron Stephens may have happened.
