Many different cultures from China and Southeast Asia honor the dead on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month during the Hungry Ghost Festival, also known as Zhongyuan in Daoism and Yulanpen or Ullambana in Mahayana Buddhism. In this episode, we'll trace the origins of ancestor worship to ancient Shang Dynasty Oracle Bones, or “Dragon Bones,” which were used to inscribe petitions to ancestral spirits and hold the earliest evidence of Chinese writing. Then we'll explore how regional variations of those ancient beliefs blended with the Buddhist Ulambana Sutra (or Mulian Rescues His Mother from Hell), Daoist visions of the afterlife, and Confucian teachings on filial responsibility. Over time, these influences eventually gave rise to the Hungry Ghost Festival which has continued to evolve into modern celebrations that weave together ancient traditions and modern lifestyles to honor both personal ancestors and members of the community lost in historical tragedies.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/21LinksSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

On this month's episode of Magic and Medicines, Eleanor is guiding us through the history of Alchemy, from turning base metals into gold to the truth behind the Philosopher's Stone to much more besides!We start off talking about how several traditions we might recognise as 'Alchemy' grew up in isolation in the ancient world, including in Ancient China, Ancient Greece, and across the Middle East.From the supposed works of Hermes Trismigestus via Zosimus of Panopolis (who may actually be a hippopotamus in disguise) and other influential forefathers of Alchemy, including Mary The Copt - whose inventions are still being used today - we dig into the core principles of Alchemy: using Materialist magic to reshape reality.Through the Renaissance, via John Dee, Cornelius Agrippa, and absolutely not Nicolas Flamel, it is not until the Enlightenment that the entire tradition hits the skids. But why? And how did 'Chemistry' split off from 'Alchemy,' forcing its forebear into obscurity? Then, what about those people who still advocated for Alchemy through the 20th century and into the modern day? Could they possibly be believing in scientific processes that are only now being proved possibly principally correct?It's a fascinating topic, and one of the 'Big Ones' in the story of magic, so let's reorder some elemental nodes together, bring the humours into alliance, and see if we can't maybe all get filthy stinking rich with the knowledge theoretically gifted to us by our ancestors' angel husbands...Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Whatever happened to tangerines?

It's citrus season in the northern hemisphere, and fruit trees are bursting with oranges and lemons. But CrowdScience listener Jonathan wants to know what happened to the tangerines he ate as a child in the 1960s? He remembers a fruit that was juicy, sweet and full of pips, found each Christmas at the bottom of his stocking. Tangerines today, he thinks, just don't compare. Crowdscience tries to track down this elusive fruit. Presenter Anand Jagatia traces the tangerine's origins back to Ancient China, as botanist David Mabberley explains that the name ‘tangerine' comes from a fruit that made its way from Asia, to Africa and the Moroccan port of Tangier, before arriving in the US in the early 1800s. Professor Tracy Kahn from UC Riverside tells us about the hybridisation process that goes into breeding modern tangerines, but says that while the season for these fruits has been dramatically extended, there's a cost in terms of diversity and flavour. Who better to help us track down this missing mandarin than a fruit detective? Well, that's one of pomologist David Karp's other job titles, and he reveals exactly which cultivar we might be looking for: the Dancy. So where can we find one? Over on Friend's Ranches in Ojai, California, Emily Ayala shows us two trees planted by her late grandfather, and explains that nothing grown since really matches its unique flavour.So what will listener Jonathan think when we send him a box?

Howdy folks, We are back with one of our favorite guests, Leo Zagami once again to discuss his latest book: CONFESSIONS OF AN ILLUMINATI VOLUME 11 Confessions of an Illuminati Volume 11: The Past, Present, and Future of Mind Control from Sun Tzu to MK-ULTRA and Beyond Leo Zagami is writer and has written over a dozen books, including the best-seller Pope Francis: The Last Pope? released in the U.S. by CCC Publishing. Zagami, who is known for a brilliant career as Leo Young in the media and music industry as a Record Producer, became quickly popular on the web in 2006, because of his direct involvement in the New World Order and Secret Societies known to the majority of us as the “Illuminati.” His blog rose quickly and gained attention from people such as David Icke, for it's accurate fully documented ground breaking inside information. Zagami has collaborated in the past with a series of articles and scoops for Infowars, and was the protagonist of a highly successful documentary made by Alex Jones in Rome, called “Demonic Possession Of The Vatican Exposed.” Leo also was the one to reveal to the world on Infowars the Gay Vatican Drug/Orgy in the summer of 2017, that forced the mainstream media to later cover the story. After publishing many books in Italy and Japan with great success, he reached the English speaking public thanks to a book deal made with San Francisco's CCC Publishing, that made Leo's translated works available in the English language. For the first time, Leo Zagami reveals the true story of brainwashing, psychological operations, and mind control connected to the Illuminati and the New World Order. From Sun Tzu in Ancient China to MK-ULTRA and PSYOP Soldiers in modern America, the elites have always known how to control millions of people not only with the use of conventional weapons but also with the power of the mind. Learn about the psychology of initiation and how the Illuminati and Freemasons control their own, the occult roots of mind control, secret experiments, the complete history of brainwashing, and the making of a Manchurian Candidate after Donald J. Trump's attempted assassination revealed that the elite are Manufacturing Killers Utilizing Lethal Tradecraft Requiring Assassination as they did with Lee Harvey Oswald. In the end, the evil elite will use Artificial Intelligence and Nanotechnology to achieve their highest goal, to hijack your thoughts and have full control of every aspect of your life. However, we still have a chance to keep the inner sanctum of our brains free, and with this book, you will learn how.

In this episode, we embarked on a comprehensive journey through the various historical phases of China, examining how each period shaped not only the nation itself but also how the world has perceived China over the centuries. From the ancient beginnings to the modern-day superpower, China's history is a rich tapestry woven with cultural, political, and social threads that have left a lasting impact on the global stage.We began with Ancient China, a time when the foundations of Chinese civilization were laid. We discussed the emergence of key philosophies like Confucianism and Daoism, the early dynasties that centralized power, and the remarkable inventions such as papermaking, gunpowder, and the compass. During this period, China was often viewed by the rest of the world as a land of great wisdom and mystery, a cradle of knowledge that would influence neighboring regions and beyond.Moving forward, we explored the era of Imperial China, where powerful dynasties like the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming ruled vast territories. We delved into the significance of the Silk Road in establishing China as a central hub of trade, diplomacy, and cultural exchange. This period solidified China's image as a formidable empire with a highly sophisticated society, deeply influencing the cultures of Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, and even reaching Europe.Our discussion then transitioned to the Republic of China, a period marked by significant change and modernization. Established after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, this era was characterized by political instability, civil war, and the struggle to modernize while holding onto traditional values. The world viewed China with a mix of curiosity and concern during this time, as it grappled with internal conflicts and the pressures of external influences from Western powers and Japan.We then delved into the era of the People's Republic of China, focusing on the dramatic transformations that took place under Communist rule. From the Cultural Revolution to the economic reforms of the late 20th century, China's global image shifted from that of an isolated, agrarian society to an emerging industrial and technological giant. We discussed how this period redefined China's role in the world, transitioning from a state of relative obscurity to a major player on the global stage.In conclusion, our exploration of China's history highlighted the enduring complexity and influence of this ancient civilization. Each period, from the ancient to the modern, has contributed to a unique global perception of China, shaping the way the world views this vast and enigmatic nation today. China's journey from a mysterious ancient empire to a contemporary superpower continues to fascinate and challenge the global community, making its study as relevant as ever.

The widespread use of paper and printing were features of ancient China which distinguished it from other ancient cultures. Traditionally, paper was invented in the early 2nd century CE, but there is evidence it was much earlier. As a cheaper and more convenient material than bamboo, wood, or silk, paper helped spread literature and literacy but it was used for many other purposes from hats to packaging. The material was made finer over the centuries, was traded across Asia and was used in the first paper money from the early 12th century CE.

Hua Mulan (c. 400-600 AD) was the hero of an iconic Chinese tale that remains a symbol of courage, familial duty, and national pride. This month, we're talking about Folk Heroes. People whose lives and stories took on mythic proportions. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan.

Spencer Lewis's publicity stunt where he performed the "transmutation" of zinc into gold in front of an audience of AMORC grandmasters & newspaper journalists, which supposedly gave him 2nd & 3rd degree burns on his hands; we mention the California magus Frater Albertus, an AMORC lab alchemy graduate who would go on to proselytize the "life-enriching" aspects of alchemy, briefly playing a clip of a presentation he gave at UC Davis on alchemy at the exact same time that Timothy Leary was signing autographs in another hall on campus; from there, we transition to working our way through the first few chapters in Richard Spence's Secret Agent 666, investigating the evidence of Crowley's espionage work, his early recruitment through the Primrose League & a "gunners" cadet corps in Worcestershire, spying interpretations of his varied & globetrotting travels in the late 1890s & early 1900s, his involvement in securing oil in Mexico & initiation into a Mexican Scottish Rite Masonic order, the possibility that Crowley met Rasputin (and may have been in Russia at the same time as Gurdjieff), the likelihood that sexpionage & sexual blackmailing may have made up a significant part of Crowley's toolkit, the strong possibility that Crowley was assigned to infiltrate both the Golden Dawn & OTO to surveil enemy elements of the Crown & British Empire establishment in both orders, the fact that German agent Theodore Reuss was likely trying to turn Crowley by recruiting him into the OTO, the numerous intelligence officers that were members in Crowley's own order Astrum Argenteum, and finally, the cover & motives of Crowley's arrival in NYC aboard the Lusitania at the onset of World War I (a British armament or finance business deal, surveillance of German occultists, and the tracking of Irish republican Sir Roger Casement).

Greg Jenner is joined in Ancient China by Prof Julia Lovell and special guest Phil Wang as they take a close look at The Terracotta Army. In 1974, a family of farmers made arguably the greatest ever archaeological discovery when they unearthed arrowheads and fragments of terracotta whilst digging a well. Join us as we explore one of the most astounding mausoleum sites in the world; so large, in fact, that much of it still remains to be explored. You're Dead To Me is a production by The Athletic for BBC Radio 4.
