  • Singular

    This podcast is singular in striking a balance between a scholarly and a practitioner-based orientation, or rather wisely resists drawing a false distinction between the two approaches. Really stands above most of the content in the field. Thanks for the great work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Inner Sea & Inner Knowing w/ Nicole Legault
Q: What is The Inner Sea Oracle Deck?
It is a 44-card collection expanded into a 78-card deck that uses water-inspired imagery to guide inner exploration, with a guidebook and a strong emphasis on the user being the oracle, encouraging reflection, noticing synchronicities, and reframing experiences.
Cryptkeeper Avenger with Dr. David Goodin
Q: How does horror function as a form of escapism and catharsis for people, especially in relation to Tales from the Crypt?
Horror allows audiences to confront their fears in a controlled environment, making real-world anxieties seem less daunting while also providing necessary emotional release.
Cryptkeeper Avenger with Dr. David Goodin
Q: Can you explain the idea that the devil is seen as God's Avenger and how that relates to the Cryptkeeper?
The Cryptkeeper, as a character, embodies the idea of justice through poetic retribution, akin to how the devil is perceived in some theological interpretations as unwittingly serving divine justice due to his animosity towards humanity.
Witch Fighters, Hector Plasm, & Benandanti w/ Benito Cereno
Q: Why did you choose to use the Benandanti mythology for your character?
The mythology resonated with my storytelling approach, emphasizing authenticity in folklore and its connection to character development.
Awake! William Blake & the Power of the Imagination w/ Mark Vernon
Q: What is the primary thing you hope readers will wake up to after reading your exploration of William Blake's life at work?
I hope readers experience a spiritual analysis of themselves and recognize that many assumptions about existence are critiques that Blake provided, which are still relevant today.
