As children, sisters Tina Fiorda and Tilde Cameron have had many experiences of the other realm that have confused them at times but sparked their interest in the spiritual realm. It was their insatiable curiosity in this area that first caused them to begin experimenting with a Ouija board in their early teenage years. For years they played with the Ouija board, asking it questions that centered around love interests and future predictions; never taking it very seriously, until one day they were introduced to three entities who were not of this world. From that day forward, the messages they received were of a completely different nature. The Ouija board was no longer a parlor game. It was now a tool used to receive wisdom and knowledge from a realm of existence that was beyond anything they had ever experienced. Tina and Tilde have become students of this material as they venture forth in the next phase of their spiritual development. Tina Fiorda comes from a background of Fashion and Costume Design. Tina has owned and operated her own Fashion Design. Eventually, Tina moved into film, where she now works as a Costume Designer. Tilde Cameron has spent her career first in Vancouver's music industry and then moving into the gaming industry. Once the authors started working on "A Book of Insight" Tilde left the gaming industry to focus on their joint project. Today, both sisters have dedicated their time to promoting their very unique book and furthering their spiritual development. - www.abookofinsight.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

In this fascinating episode, Elisabeth speaks with Jo Katsaras, a world-renowned Costume Designer whose visionary work has graced some of Hollywood's beloved films and series.Born in Cyprus, Jo moved to South Africa at the age of five — a cultural fusion that would later define her unique artistic style.

Emmy-nominated costume designer Virginia B. Johnson grew up with a “dragon mother,” which shaped her structured habits and her ability to work smoothly amid chaos. Her childhood was filled with intergenerational connection and crafting - learning sewing, embroidery, knitting and crocheting from a “flock of Filipina aunties,” which fostered not only a sense of community, but a foundational skill for her eventual career. Although she was a pre-med major in college, a serendipitous side gig in a college theater costume shop sparked a passionate pivot to a career that now includes critically-acclaimed and award-winning projects like Hillbilly Elegy and American Primeval, and the opportunity to lead teams in the art of deploying deep craft and rigorous, reverent cultural authenticity to drive powerful storytelling.
