  • Zionists in Sheep’s Clothing- Don’t Be Fooled

    Suffice it to say I am more than a little confused and surprised to see The Occult Rejects all over social media in the “Trust the Plan!”(yes- literally trusting ‘Q’ in 2026) space… yikes… yikes yikes yikes!!

  • Too many ads and placement awful

    There are too many ads and no thought to placement of said ads. It’s so bad, it’s hard to follow the point of many of the discussions, especially when an ad starts in the middle of someone’s talking points that it prevents the natural flow of the discussion. At least prepare the audience that an ad is coming, and place it after the guest completes a thought. It’s the most professional way to do things.

    The way it currently is, this show is not worth following.

    Good show but the host has a probably with mumbling or his audio is too low so it really hard to understand or hear him allot of times which gets frustrating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pythian Priestess: Ghosts, Hermeticism & the Unseen
Q: How did you transition from entertainment to occult practice and teaching?
The shift happened gradually over five months, culminating in a decision after the COVID period to leave the industry and dedicate herself to occult study and teaching, supported by online content creators and a growing audience.
Cunning Folk and Practical Magic with Dr. Stanmore
Q: What does 'practical magic' mean in daily life?
It refers to magic with practical aims like healing, finding lost goods, predicting outcomes, protecting people, and influencing relationships—applied to everyday problems rather than abstract knowledge.
The Zodiac Garden Guide with Isaac Hill
Q: Could you explain what Vedic astrology is and how it differs from Western astrology?
Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac and Nakshatras, tracing back to ancient Brahmin lineages, with a strong emphasis on lunar mansions and timing (electional astrology). Western astrology largely uses the tropical zodiac and different house systems; both share core planetary concepts but align with different celestial references and time-keeping traditions.
The Pisgah Shrine with Vince Barrows Part 1
Q: What role do tribe descendants play in this research today?
Descendants, particularly Muskogee, have engaged with the research, offering appreciation and urging repatriation efforts; their involvement underscores the importance of cultural continuity and collaborative heritage work.
The Pisgah Shrine with Vince Barrows Part 1
Q: What is the current understanding of the site's age and its connection to De Soto?
There is a true archaeological signal linking El Coo and Mount Pisgah to De Soto's expedition, including references to a 411-year carbon date and related artifacts, though some items require more definitive material testing to confirm exact dating.
