Air Date: 5-26-25 *CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE “SINNERS”* You thought you were going to listen to SOLVED! today, and you're not alone. We also thought we were going to make an episode of SOLVED!, but this turned into something a little bit different. So, we're calling it a “special” in which Jay!, Amanda, Deon and Erin discuss storytelling and mythology in general, and the extremely relevant and fascinating themes of the new Ryan Coogler film “Sinners,” in particular. Because storytelling is the process by which humans attempt to understand ourselves, it is, by its nature, never ending.

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz feature explorer and researcher Hercules Invictus, author of two e-books on Kindle Olympian Ice and The Antediluvial Scrolls and contributor to such books as: Alien Artifacts, Mimics — The Others Among Us, and Weird Time — Exploring the Mysteries of Time and Space. Hercules is a Lemnian Greek, a proud descendant of Argonauts and Amazons. He is openly Olympian in his spirituality and worldview, dedicated to living the Mythic Life, and has been exploring the fringes of our reality throughout his entire earthly sojourn. For over four decades, he has been sharing his Olympian Odyssey with others. Having relocated the heart of his Temenos to Northeastern New Jersey and the Greater New York Metropolitan Area, he is now establishing his unique niche locally and contributing to his community's overall quality of life. Hercules is also recruiting Argonauts to help him usher in a new Age of Heroes. In this episode, he talks about ancient astronauts starting with Von Daniken and other authors on the subject. Couple that with Hercules' knowledge of the ancient gods and their legends that may offer some evidence of non-human interactions in ancient times. He also talks about trying to recover our real history through the ages.

Joined by Jake from the Koryos Academy, we explore how these ancient myths can provide profound insights for today's warriors, especially those dedicated to self-reliance, resilience, and personal mastery.While the Grail stories are often linked to medieval spirituality, their roots reach back into ancient pagan traditions, offering lessons that resonate with modern warriors on their own personal quests.

Welcome, curious souls, to another intriguing episode where we dare to explore the shadowy depths of the unknown. Today, we embark on a journey into the realm of myth and mystery as we delve into the enigmatic world of mermaids and sirens. Picture this: you're standing on the windswept cliffs of the rugged Irish coastline, the salty sea air tingling your senses. Below, the waves crash against the rocks, and in the distance, you catch a glimpse of something shimmering beneath the surface – could it be a mermaid, beckoning you into the depths with her siren song? But before we plunge headfirst into the depths of folklore, let's take a moment to ponder the origins of these beguiling creatures. Throughout history, sailors have regaled us with tales of mermaids and sirens – half-women, half-fish beings who dwell in the darkest depths of the ocean. Some scholars believe that sightings of manatees or dugongs may have inspired the mermaid myth, while others speculate that the eerie songs of seabirds could have given rise to the siren's enchanting melodies. But regardless of their origins, there's something undeniably captivating about these aquatic temptresses. Now, let's dive into the rich tapestry of folklore and explore the colorful variations of the mermaid and siren myths. In Irish folklore, Merrows were said to inhabit the waters off the coast of Ireland, with their shimmering green hair and penchant for mischief. In Irish folklore, the Merrows, or "muir folk," are said to inhabit the waters off the coast of Ireland, their shimmering green hair and haunting melodies captivating the hearts of sailors and fishermen alike. Legend has it that these mystical creatures are descended from the union of a human and a magical sea being.
So, let's pretend the last five months didn't happen (god, how I wish that were true...), and that this episode went up directly after the last :). Anyway, I'm back with an episode that is sort of a shout out to the origins of this podcast: Ancient Myths! Specifically Mesopotamia. I really do love this era, and it's sort of like the origins of all modern cultural lore. Today we're talking about the Wonder Woman of ancient history: Ishtar. She was the goddess of love, but also war! How cool is that. She's both a lover and a fighter, which is super badass. Anyway, listen to the episode for all the goodies!

Have you ever considered the colossal power of stories to forge our reality? This episode welcomes a quartet of narrative connoisseurs: Jared Michaud, Carl D Albert, Susana Imaginario, and Jose, as they unravel the intricate web of writing, mythology, and the potent force of storytelling. With each guest bringing a unique perspective from their respective journeys, we examine whether the stories we tell can indeed shift the course of history, and how, when woven together, these narratives sculpt our collective consciousness.Settle in as we confront the digital age's newest player: artificial intelligence. AI's rapid infiltration into our conversations, particularly in political arenas, stirs a mixture of fascination and apprehension. We share a cautionary tale of AI's role in manipulating public opinion and dissect how memes have morphed into modern-day propaganda tools. The potency of narratives extends into our moral fabric, as we trace the lineage of Western morality back to stories of antiquity and debate how these legends continue to frame our ethical compass today.Venture with us into the mythical realms where ancient gods and modern dilemmas collide. Our guests, including myth enthusiast Susana Imaginario, probe the omnipresent themes in global mythologies, seeking to discern if they're merely cultural constructs or echo a universal human truth. We challenge the boundaries of morality, exploring its fluidity across cultures and time, and question how today's myths—emerging from the depths of our collective psyche—shape our understanding of democracy and the modern world. Join us for a journey into the heart of storytelling and its undeniable imprint on the human experience.Guests:Jared N Michaud: https://jarednmichaud.com/about-jared-michaud/Susanna Imaginario: https://susanaimaginario.com/index.htmlCarl D.

This episode of Living Myth begins with scientific studies of the ways that ants can be capable of incredible feats during times of crisis. A single ant will quickly drown in the turbulent floodwaters of a hurricane. Yet, a group of ants can instinctively create water repelling rafts that allow them to float for weeks without drowning. Flotillas of ants are an example of “swarm intelligence,” a collective creative capacity that allows ants and other species to solve complex problems. In the strange way that facts and myth can meaningfully coincide, the Hopi First Nations people of the American Southwest have compelling stories of how the Anu Naki or Ant Friends were the saviors and original guides of the first people. When the entire world was threatened by fire and great floods, it was the Ant People who showed the first humans how to find refuge and sustenance and survive life threatening changes. The Ant Friends also showed people how to create Kivas as underground spaces for community rituals and prayer. The old word Kiva has two parts with ki meaning ant and va meaning a dwelling place. A Kiva could be a place of refuge and retreat from the pressures of the daily world. It was also a place of connecting with Earth energies that can bring healing and centering to the entire community. Indigenous peoples from all around the world typically learned about survival and adaptation in times of radical change by reading the texts of nature. Ancient myths and the resilience of other species can both serve as guides to how we survive the cataclysms occurring in the world at this time. For, both can be sources of essential insights into what was once understood as the Earth wisdom embedded in the living texts of nature. Since we find ourselves, once again, facing both intense heat and great floods, we need to learn more about truly resilient systems that involve creativity as well as survival. That includes “swarm intelligence” as well as the kinds of Earth wisdom that can help us survive the uncharted waters, the hurricane seasons, and the rogue waves that currently threaten the ecosystems of nature as well as the social systems of human culture.

The God Susanoo and Korea in Japan's Cultural Memory: Ancient Myths and Modern Empire (Bloomsbury, 2022) traces reiterations and reinterpretations of the deity Susanoo regarding his relationship with Korea vis-a-vis Japan. Through careful examination of mythological texts and other primary sources, David Weiss examines Susanoo's role in the construction of Korea's image as Japan's periphery. This book discusses how ancient Japanese mythology was utilized during the colonial period to justify the annexation of Korea to Japan, with special focus on the god Susanoo. Described as an ambivalent figure and wanderer between the worlds, Susanoo served as a foil to set off the sun goddess, who played an important role in the modern construction of a Japanese national identity. Susanoo inhabited a sinister otherworld, which came to be associated with colonial Korea. Imperialist ideologues were able to build on these interpretations of the Susanoo myth to depict Korea as a dreary realm at the margin of the Japanese empire that made the imperial metropole shine all the more brightly. At the same time, Susanoo was identified as the ancestor of the Korean people. Thus, the colonial subjects were ideologically incorporated into the homogeneous Japanese “family state.” The book situates Susanoo in Japan's cultural memory and shows how the deity, while being repeatedly transformed in order to meet the religious and ideological needs of the day, continued to symbolize the margin of Japan. Raditya Nuradi is a Phd student at Kyushu University. He works on religion and popular culture, particularly anime pilgrimages.

Helene Wecker's first novel, The Golem and the Jinni, was awarded the Mythopoeic Award for Adult Literature, the VCU Cabell Award for First Novel, and the Harold U. Ribalow Prize, and was nominated for a Nebula Award and a World Fantasy Award. A Midwest native, she holds a B.A. in English from Carleton College and an M.F.A. in Fiction Writing from Columbia University. Her work has appeared in literary journals such as Joyland and Catamaran, as well as the fantasy anthology The Djinn Falls in Love and Other Stories. She currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and children. The Hidden Palace: A Novel of the Golem and the Jinni "Richly nuanced and beautiful. . . . An immersive and magical tale of loneliness, love, and finding hope.” (Buzzfeed) “A layered novel of many complex characters…To keep their worlds safe, Chava and Ahmad must access both their greatest supernatural powers and their deepest human impulses.” (Historical Novels Review) In this enthralling historical epic, set in New York City and the Middle East in the years leading to World War I— the long-awaited follow-up to the acclaimed New York Times bestseller The Golem and the Jinni—Helene Wecker revisits her beloved characters Chava and Ahmad as they confront unexpected new challenges in a rapidly changing human world. Chava is a golem, a woman made of clay, who can hear the thoughts and longings of those around her and feels compelled by her nature to help them. Ahmad is a jinni, a restless creature of fire, once free to roam the desert but now imprisoned in the shape of a man. Fearing they'll be exposed as monsters, these magical beings hide their true selves and try to pass as human—just two more immigrants in the bustling world of 1900s Manhattan. Brought together under calamitous circumstances, their lives are now entwined—but they're not yet certain of what they mean to each other. Both Chava and Ahmad have changed the lives of the people around them. Park Avenue heiress Sophia Winston, whose brief encounter with Ahmad left her with a strange illness that makes her shiver with cold, travels to the Middle East to seek a cure. There she meets Dima, a tempestuous female jinni who's been banished from her tribe. Back in New York, in a tenement on the Lower East Side, a little girl named Kreindel helps her rabbi father build a golem they name Yossele—not knowing that she's about to be sent to an orphanage uptown, where the hulking Yossele will become her only friend and protector. Spanning the tumultuous years from the turn of the twentieth century to the beginning of World War I, The Hidden Palace follows these lives and others as they collide and interleave. Can Chava and Ahmad find their places in the human world while remaining true to each other? Or will their opposing natures and desires eventually tear them apart—especially once they encounter, thrillingly, other beings like themselves?

Even before the craziness of 2020 came about, you didn’t have to examine society collective human behavior that hard to get a sense that we were going in the wrong direction; in other words, the future didn’t look bright. That is, of course, quite vague, but beyond a basic prediction of how our future will look, there is an element of ‘high strangeness’ and a tie-in to how a superior consciousness and (believe it or not) UFOs might be guiding us down this path. If we examine the connections between modern UFO encounters and centuries-old tales of visions of angles, demons, and other mythical creatures, a pattern starts to emerge. Let’s end 2020 with a trip! Latest episode is now up.

This week's episode of Lost Origins sets a new record, as we welcome our first ever, three-time guest to the show. David Mathisen sat down with Andrew and CK at CPAK to continue the conversation that began in season one. In this exchange, the trio discusses several new aspects of David's work including Buddhism, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Mahabharata. As always, David's thoughtful approach to the myths of the ancient world is fascinating and filled with moments of personal motivation. For more than ten years, David Mathisen has been researching and deciphering the system of celestial metaphor that forms the foundation for the world’s ancient myths, scriptures, and sacred stories. Abundant and compelling evidence shows that these ancient sacred traditions are in fact all related and closely connected, despite being found in virtually every longitude all the way around the globe, and stretching back to the very earliest texts and artwork is known to us at this time.The existence of this world-wide system argues for the existence of a sophisticated predecessor culture unknown to conventional history, standing alongside all of the archaeological evidence that has come to light over the centuries and continues to surface to this day. David is the author of The Ancient World-Wide System: Star Myths of the World Volume One (Second Edition), released in 2019, as well as of the earlier books Star Myths of the World Volume Two: Myths of Ancient Greece, Star Myths of the World Volume Three: Star Myths of the Bible, Star Myths of the World Volume Four: Norse Mythology, Astrotheology for Life, The Mathisen Corollary, The Undying Stars, and Ancient Myths, Ancient Wisdom.
We go through the Ancient Greek's festival of the living dead and also discuss some of the spookier stories of Ancient Myths.

A conversation about “myth” and its relevance to the climate emergency between Jo Blake, who works across the disciplines of storytelling, theatre and dance and Sarah Deco, art therapist, group analyst, story teller, with a long connection to the Climate Psychology Alliance. How can working with the nuanced nature of myth and story be emotionally nourishing for us on a planet where destructive binary narratives of endless growth and separation from nature hold sway?
There is so much folklore about sound insulation, commonly known as soundproofing, but the science and technology is easy to understand. Perhaps because it is expensive and difficult to achieve really good results, people look for 'magical' solutions...

Sig and Karin together at The Chalice Well In Glastonbury England One of the most delightful times that Kim had on her first visit to The Netherlands was with the magical and most memorable Sig Lonegren and his partner Karin and their canine wonder "Snoofie". Having fled shut downs with 12 hours notice in Paris, Kim rushed to make an early train to Amsterdam and headed off to the end of the train line, where she entered "Enkhuizen" to spend time with Master Dowser, Geomancer and Author, Mr. Sig Lonegren and his wife Karin. This was by far one of the highlights of Kim's time in The Netherlands. Sig Lonegren is a well respected and known geomancer, dowser and teacher, who learned to dowse in 1959. Geomancy is also known as earth acupuncture. Mr. Lonegren is a wise sage, whose also an articulate and loving teacher, who teaches about many ancient practices like sacred geometry, "ley lines" or "leys", labyrinths and how land and living structures express and emanate energy and how to heal them. He's authored many books, "Memoirs of a Geomancer","Spiritual Dowsing, Tools for exploring the Ancient Myths and Modern Uses", "Labyrinths", "The Dowsing Rod Kit", "The Pendulum Kit" and more! We talk about sacred geometry, dowsing, ley lines or leys, the famous Michael Lines and what it means to use integrity when using the ancient tools and practices. Karen Schluter also joins us to share about her work as a Distance healer and their work together healing sick houses. Kim finally finds a way to engage them to talk a little about their life together of calling and love and about their special bond. If you're longing for a rare gift for the holidays, this conversation is one of them. Happy Holidays from It's Rainmaking Time!
