Across Egypt, Tibet, and West Africa, humanity has written maps for the soul’s final journey.
In this episode, we open the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Tibetan Bardo Thödol, and the Yoruba Ifá verses of Òrun, tracing how three civilizations envisioned death—not as an ending, but as transformation.
Make yourself a cup of tea and prepare! We will cover the journey of the soul after death! And contemplate the nature of reality itself.
This is a journey through sacred manuals of remembrance, morality, and awakening—where every culture seems to believe in the same truth: death is the continuation of consciousness.
It is spooky season you bitch! Come with me on a journey into the world of animal familiars. Throughout the entire ancient world, animals were seen as powerful entities. They were often seen as talismen or even portals between realms.
How interesting that at one point in time, seemingly all of humanity communed with animal spirits. They would even merge their consciousnesses together.
Sadly, through time and colonization, these beliefs and abilities have retreated into the shadows. But the legacy and the possibility of communing with the animal world still remains.
It's time to make a cup of tea and buckle up while pepper gets passionate about the natural world.

From the androgynous wisdom of Obatalá in Yoruba tradition, to Ardhanarishvara, the half-Shiva half-Shakti form of divine wholeness in Hinduism…
From the Holy Hermaphrodite of Greek myth and alchemy, to the gender-shifting priests of Inanna and the Galli of Cybele…
From the revered Hijra of South Asia, the Māhū of Polynesia, the Babaylan of the Philippines, to the Two-Spirit people of Native nations…
Across cultures and millennia, non-binary and trans people were not only accepted — they were honored as healers, mediators, and keepers of sacred knowledge. They embodied the liminal, walking between worlds, bridging masculine and feminine, human and divine.
Yet, with the rise of colonialism and organized religion, these sacred roles were targeted, suppressed, and criminalized. Ancient reverence was replaced by fear, persecution, and erasure.
This episode uncovers the forgotten legacy of non-binary and trans divinity — and asks what it means to remember, reclaim, and reimagine these truths today.

From the palm trees of Mesopotamia to the sacred Ceiba of the Maya, from Odin’s sacrifice on Yggdrasil to the seeds carried by Sky Woman, nearly every culture has told of a Tree of Life. In this episode, we journey across time and tradition, exploring how trees became the bridges between earth and sky, life and death, gods and humans. These myths are more than stories — they’re living reminders of our roots, our spirit, and our bond with the natural world.
I keep singing "you gave me the tree of life, tree of life" (to the tune of kiss of life by Sade ❤︎

According to historians, the birth of civilization is considered to be the creation of agricultural society. The first farmed crops across the entire planet was grains. Barley, wheat, millet, rice, and corn were and are massive cash crops which fed and sustained growing populations.
What if I told you that society itself is built around grain and the worship of grain deities?
In this episode we will talk about the Gods Ceres, Demeter, Ashnan, Osiris, Shennong, Inari Okami, Dewi Sri, Checomecoatl, Mama Sara, Hun Hunahpu, and more.

How have our perceptions of the underworld tainted our ability to decode ancient symbolism ?
What if the darkest place you could go wasn’t a punishment—but a rite of passage? Today, we’re diving deep into the ancient myths of two powerful goddesses: Inanna and Persephone. One descends into the underworld, shedding her power layer by layer. The other is abducted into the realms of death and accepts her fate- which allows her to live between both worlds. These myths aren’t just stories—they’re blueprints of feminine initiation, grief, and return.

Edgar Casey was born in the late 19th century and learned to go into a trance like state as a young boy. As he got older he was able to diagnose peoples illnesses and prescribe natural remedies, he could access other people’s past lives, and was even able to predict future events. He claimed he did this all by communicating with spirits.
Do you think this is an ability that anyone can access?

Take a little time for yourself to breathe deeply and let go of all the things.
I love and appreciate you.

I can't believe I had never heard about Mani! He was a prophet from ancient Iraq who expanded on the teachings Jesus, Zoroaster, and the Buddha.
Most interestingly he believed in looking critically at religious texts and trying to understand them from a logical perspective. One text he was most interested in was THE BOOK OF GIANTS- a lost scripture of the Bible.
Though we hardly hear about Mani, he left a long lasting impact on the religious world and there are traces of him everywhere.

TRIGGER WARNING- this episode speaks of sexual abuse
This episode is a little different than my others- I talk about my story and how I began to do medium work and eventually start having visions. I began to work with an ancestor of mine who practiced "dark magic" through writing and meditation.
This episode was hard for me to share- because I have never shared it publicly. But I recognized that I would have loved to hear someone talk about these things when I was young.
I hope that humanity can work together to heal and end the cycle of abuse and sexual violence.
