It's taken 5 appearances from JJ Johnson of Southern Demonology for us to get to demons. But, here there be demons. The views of demons changed very much once Christianity spread versus before. So we start with Mesopotamia in Sumer, Babylon, Akka and the Levant. We visit and clarify on certain figures like Lilith, Lamasu, Pazzuzu, Peimon and Moloch. Is Beelzebub Ba'al or the reverse? Or neither? How did Zoroastrianism change everything? Some familiar numbers are discussed. Of course, we cover Satan, Lucifer, the Devil and other topics. Which writings are worth your time. Which aren't might surprise you. Are Djinn demons? Are Nephilim demons? Let's dive into the underworld and beyond to discuss actual demonology according to actual canonical texts and some adjacent writings.

Pam Conboy and Rev. Dr. Leah Linder felt so strongly about the health properties of mushrooms that they made it a mission. Not just any mission. They obtained 501(c)(3) church status with a sacred belief system, ritual and programs all revolving around the proper pathways to enlightenment through the natural mind freeing properties of certain mushrooms. This is not a new phenomenon. Many of the great religions were based and propigated through assisted communion with the sacred. Whether it's the origins of Santa Claus to shamanic journeys to the Oracles to wine as part of religious ceremony, these are all derived from similar goals. We hear about the philosophy, the medicine, and the science. Yes, we get biochemical and nueroscience in this Garden. And you can join the church too. Come on in and give it a listen.

Gary Wayne re-enters the Garden to discuss The Watchers, Demons and The Four Horsemen of the apolcalypse. In this discussion, he ties in the Annunaki, the Igigi, Titans and Olympians, and many other beings and figures of myth and history. What is a demon? Who is Satan? Why are there more Satans? This forces us to describe the different kinds of Angels, which leads to the Horsemen. I can't do justice to the scope of this discussion in my description. You'll need to listen.

Another curiosity checked off my list. Thanks to Cee the Superior, we finally tackled to Peacock. It's not just NBC that;s proud as a peacock. The peacock is ubiqitous in cosmologies, mythologies, and symbology around the world and across traditions. So, I sent Cee to researching. And research she did! But the unusual happened: I researched too. And acquired someone else's research and actually read it! He's Hera's favorite animal. He's pre-eminent in India. He's associated with Osiris. There's also the Peacock Angel in what we'll call the Abrahamic religions. I learned about the Yezidi who have The Peacock as both creator God and ruler of the world. So, my notion that the Peacock was more important than just being a pretty fella turned out to be true. Come on in and listen.

This episode we jump into the world of real estate. This might become a bit of a miniseries. You might have heard terms like Family Office; Property Wholesaler; Flipping: We Buy Houses for Cash. What do they all mean? Who are these folks? Lane Kawaoka gives us his views from the top. His book, and methodology, "The Wealth Elevator" explores his journey from traditional employee saving via a employer sponsored 401K to someone owning multiple rental properties, and ultimately to forming syndicates or groups of investors in much bigger spaces.

Professor Jon F. White from Crecganford returns to cover the topic of the great serpent. Yes, dragons. Were they always dragons? Turns out probably not. Snakes are the original universal human boogeyman. There's all sorts of evidence for that proposition. But the myths support this too. The snake and the oldest dragons have more in common than the fire breathing children of Kalesi or Smog from Tolkien fame. What did these serpents represent whether guardian or enemy? As usual, we traverse the world and back to survey various myths and analyze when and why snakes turned into some form of larger, more terrible reptile, and ultimately into what we all picture when we utter "dragon". Where does fire breathing come from? What did St.George slay? How does using a cow's head as fishing bait relate to Thor's epic end? Plus, a few sidetracks and backtracks.

The Garden welcomes back Professor Richard Spence to do deeper dives into some of the well known historic occult groups. From the Essenes to the Freemasons, we touch on many well known groups or schools of thought, and try to draw throughlines where possible. We also discuss some popular media and a bit of fact checking. Is there a direct connection between the Cathars and Templars? What was the relationship between the Templars and the Assassins? We touch on our old friends, the Gnostics. Is Mary connected to the Cult of Isis? What did Dan Brown do and not do? In this almost 2200 year survey, we hit a lot.
Professor Spence is a Professor Emeritus from the University of Idaho. He has authored several books and has presented the lectures for several The Great Courses. -
Dr. Edwin Barnhart of the Maya Exploration Center. You know him from Season 2 of Netflix's Ancient Apocalypse, Earth Ancients and the ArcheoEd podcast. He previously dazzled us with information about Mezoamerica. Today, the working topic was the Incas. And we did cover the Incas. But we also covered some of the prior peoples. Covered the religions and the continuity of beliefs. We talk about the topics from the Vera Cocha to Camelids. Who built those roads? How old is Machu Picchu? What are Ed's thoughts on Archeology versus Hancockians? As always, we meander with unplanned purpose and uncover items that you want to hear.

We welcome back Professor Michael York to discuss Canaanite Gods. This includes the Israelites, Akkadians, Babylonians, and others. Due to proximity, we venture a bit into Sumeria, Egypt, Vedic India and beyond. We even touch upon Hittites, Minoans and Sea Peoples. But it's mostly Yahweh versus Ba'al with a dash of Inanna and Ashura, and other easy to pronounce names. Along the way we discuss soime recurring themes like evil baby eating Gods to matriarchal godheads versus patriarchal godheads. Somewhere along the line, Margorie Taylor Green came up. Oh my! Anyway, you don't want to miss this regional Gods discussion, which had earlier roots and ramifications that continue today.
And I wasn't crazy about AI and translation. The Professor found this afterwards https://www.hellenic.org.au/post/the-babylonian-engine#:~:text=The%20AI%20model%20was%20trained,and%20from%20cuneiform%20symbols%20directly. -

From the history of Canadian colonization related to the indigenous, to an overview of the Nations, we discuss many items. Dimitrijevic indicated I asked hard hitting, good questions. I botched my chance to call it Podcast Strong Style. We covered mystical beings like the Wendigo. We discussed religious and spiritual items. What's a Totem? Is Rush good or do we all pretend they're good? Is Alpha Flight a lame super team? Do the Northern Lights and aerial phenomenon influence Indigenous beliefs? We even discuss some wrestling. But mostly the academic pursuits and my typical questions.

Jennifer Sutherland is an award winning poet, author and attorney. Perhaps most importantly, she's a multi time guest in the Garden. Christmas is filled with joys and iconic movies and specials that we've cherished for generations. And a lot of them are creepy, concerning and a little terrifying. We visit some of those in this show. Like the Ghosts of Dickensian fame, we take you to your various stages and wrestle with these properties and our relationships with them. From Wooden Soldiers to Santa Claus, no one is completely spared.
