Curious Cat - where science & supernatural collide
Curious Cat explores the intersection of science and the supernatural, asking what it means to be a soul in a physical body. Through a lens of curiosity, the show examines life's strange and wonderful complexities, suggesting that where these realms collide is where magic appears. The podcast notes that science is beginning to catch up with these age-old mysteries. Each week, new episodes are produced, offered as acts of love by Storm Mystery Press LLC.

Swimming in Liminal Waters with Daniel Rekshan
Our recent conversation with Daniel Rekshan was unforgettable. In fact, the synchronicities, the general flow, and the subjects we covered had Jesse pretty much gobsmacked for the bulk of the hour. Jenn would label this one an instant classic, and hopes you find it worth a listen and a share and maybe even a five-star review!Daniel Rekshan writes about himself and his creation, D-SETI;"I’m th
The Morrigan - Is Your Belly Full of Blood? Then look for her other, gentler faces.
The Morrigan has come into my life this last year. Sightings of giant ravens, power that I mine in my anger and hurt, potent enough to scorch a path to healing. She is known to be difficult to work with, and I shouldn't say 'she' it is they. The Morrigan is a title. As I have been studying about this Irish goddess, I've learned The Morrigan is many in one, and probably one of t
Bezaliel - An Angel Shunned by Heaven AND Hell - The Shadow of God
In my exploration of angels, there is an angel that has avoided being named to me until now. What I've been finding out is that he is the most misunderstood, shunned creature of God out there. With nicknames like, "Shadow of God" is it any wonder why this angel is surrounded by controversy. Is he a fallen angel? Or one of the Seraphim order doing God's work in secret? Did he in

CASCADIA: Lassen Volcanic National Park
I'm guessing if volcanoes of the Cascade Mountain Range was on Jeopardy, you'd be able to name Mount St. Helens, and maybe Mount Rainer or Hood.

In fact, as a longtime Washington and California girl myself, this one was new to me Until I dug deep into CASCADIA.Overview of Native American History and Oral Tradition about
Bird-o-mancy with Magical Madia - a bonus episode
The conversation was so incredible that none of us had the heart to press the <Stop Recording> button.In this segment, we talk about how Madia learned about bird-o-mancy (thank you Sam the Sky Guy for that moniker) and she took us through the history of this magic. Next we dwelled in the knowledge of Native American practices and asked if there's any such thing as a bad message when it
The Magic of Madia
Jesse and Jenn sat down with Madia expecting the conversation to begin and end with birds. But immediately the magic of tapping, EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, came up and off we went. There is a FANTASTIC mini-episode that spun out of our initial conversation, so look for that next week!One quote from Madia I came back to again and again after we quit recording? "You can't give yo
Jesse's Happy Day (and spoiler alert if you haven't watched Widow's Bay yet!)
It felt like a friendship test. Jenn received a text from Jesse that told her she needed to watch Widow’s Bay. Like NOW. Jenn explained that she didn’t have Apple TV and it had been a crappy day. She wanted to pour ten fingers worth of Japanese whiskey and disappear behind a screen of true crime.But Jesse persisted. Jenn. Jenn. Jenn. Jenn. You will love it. This show is a mix of spooky and funny.

Thunderbirds, Oral Traditions & Secrets Not Meant for the Uninitiated
With a recent video - not sure if it's fake or real - that's going viral on socials of a massive, mythic bird - had to know more about thunderbirds.

Medicine Lake, Hospital Rock & Modoc History
Have you ever been to a place in California called Medicine Lake? It lies near Mount Shasta, its infamous cousin, but they both have volcanic parentage. You see, Medicine Lake is a caldera.

Washington Ghosts of the Pacific Crest Trail
Crossing into Washington state when you're on the northbound Pacific Crest Trail, or NOBO, is a milestone–a damn smile-stone. Crossing the Bridge of the Gods with no proper pedestrian path is akin to Frogger. But once across, you might have the urge to fling your arms up to the sky and shout a victory hoot. After replenishing your supplies in town you hit the trail again, and that's when

There's a trail that runs from the Mexico-U.S. border north through California, Oregon and Washington, ending at the Canadian border.

Space Coast Florida: An NAACP Assassination, Bog Burial Site & More
This week we are going from the East Coast. And next week to the west, because as I researched incidents of high strangeness on Florida's space coast, I found a geolocation full of weirdness in California's space pocket, and yes, I DID make that nickname up.
