Transcription

Bettina starts the episode with a warning: If you have a weak stomach and you’re eating while listening, you may want to wait for an hour or so after you eat to resume listening. Why? She covers the topic of cannibalism. There are actually 9 different types of cannibalism, or anthropophagi. Bettina covers five of these, survival, pathological, epicurean, or gustatory, medicinal, and sacrificial cannibalism. Intrigued? Listen as cannibalism from around the world is covered.

Beth covers the fascinating topic of children and the spirit world. Beth disputes the thought that children are just more in tune with the spirit world than we are, instead she suggests that maybe it’s their innocence that enables them to be psychic or see spirits. Think about a child’s imagination, or their “imaginary” friend. To the child there is no “imaginary” about it, they see the friend, they listen and speak to their friend. Perhaps it’s the same thing with spirits. The child can actually see the spirit and interact with it. Most of us adults can not see these spirits because we have shut that part of our brain. Society tells us we can not “see dead people”, or our minds are so full of concerns and doubts so much so that we can no longer be open to imagination. Join us as Beth covers this intriguing topic as well as shares her interview with Reiki Master and Intuitive, Christy Marsh.
