  • The Life of Jack Parsons [Patreon Preview]
    Jul 24 2024
    This week on the Otherworld Patreon, we are diving deep into the mysterious life of Jack Parsons, an inventor, pioneer of rocket engineering, a founder of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, and a very dedicated occultist. Parsons was deeply involved in the occult, becoming a prominent member of Aleister Crowley's Thelema religion and engaging in various mystical and esoteric practices. Parsons' home in Pasadena became a base camp for all sorts of unusual characters and people affiliated with the occult. Jack also became friends with a specific young author who would one day become very famous... Jack Parsons' life was a fascinating blend of scientific genius and occult mysticism, making him a uniquely enigmatic figure in 20th-century history. In this episode I am joined by friend of the show Wolf Fleetwood-Ross to unravel the strange story of Jack Parsons' life. This is a 2 part series only available on Patreon.

  • Episode 88: Sawyer River Road
    Jul 22 2024
    In the early days of the pandemic, Annalise and her boyfriend decided to go camping at a spot that had been in her family for decades. The location was very isolated, off the grid, and required a six-mile hike through dense forest to reach. As they trekked through the wilderness, they couldn't shake the eerie feeling of being watched. Despite the unease, they pressed on, dismissing it as paranoia. Once at the campsite, they encountered other strange occurrences, and a mysterious sound that left them shaken to their core and grasping for answers.

Afterwards, we heard the rest of the story about what happened between Solveig's mom and Sara. Next week, this series will come to a close.

  • Wendy & Solveig [Patreon Preview]
    Jun 20 2024
    Last year, during the first interview with Solveig, I learned that she had a reading with Wendy coming up. This was early 2023, and I was still just getting to know Wendy (the clairvoyant from the "Ball of Light" episodes) and having trouble wrapping my head around her in general. Then I met Solveig, and it was just so much to process at once. I thought it would be interesting to sort of test them both by recording this reading and ensuring that Wendy knew nothing about Solveig or her story going into it. I also wanted to do this because there were things Wendy had told me in the past that were very similar to some of the things Solveig had told me.
