The war with Iran was predictable on the basis of the commentary flowing from the mouths of religious bigots for years. The Secret Teachings radio and Ground Zero collude for a friday simulcast with special guests Sean Hazlett and David Oates. Iran has been repeatedly accused of religious fanaticism, oppressing women, terrorism, and possessing WMD. Yet all of these things are expressed, allowed, carried out, or possessed by the United States and Israel. When Marco Rubio, President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the lot talk about the apocalypse, evil, and crusades, you can be ensured that the administration of peace did not come to bring an end to hostilities, but a sword to start them.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Send Catherine a text MessageThe Norwegian fairy tale of "Tatterhood" begins as many stories do, with a kingdom that lacks something essential. Each of us lives in a fairy tale kingdom or two, in an orderly system of protocols and social rules that structure both outer and inner worlds. The stability of the kingdom is important. And yet, the structure eventually outlives its usefulness. The old order stagnates, degrades, and loses meaning. The boundaries are too tight and the space feels too small. Because life = change.Something new, something radical, is needed to catalyze a necessary renewal.Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of sex, misogyny, genitalia, adultery, transphobia, and sexual assault. GuestsMelanie Holcomb and Nancy Thebaut are the co-curators of the Spectrum of Desire: Love, Sex, and Gender in the Middle Ages exhibition at The Met Cloisters. Nancy Thebaut is Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Oxford & tutorial fellow at St Catherine's College.

Horrigan examines how cultural storytelling, regional traditions, and eyewitness accounts shape the way unexplained events are interpreted and remembered. His work looks at patterns across legends and modern sightings, considering whether myth and mystery reflect psychological, environmental, or possibly unknown influences. By blending folklore studies with contemporary case research, he encourages thoughtful analysis of how extraordinary narratives emerge and persist within communities.Become 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.

Connect with us on Talk Cosmos, Sunday MARCH 1, 2026, at 1-2 p.m. PST for the “Virgo Total Lunar Eclipse” feature guest Lillian Bennett the co-host of Sky Notes Podcast who joins host Sue ‘Rose' Minahan with Dr. Laura Tadd. Together we'll expand on this eclipse theme I've coined as a ‘Grand Strategy Refined”.We're within a dynamic time bringing deep meaningfulness to our lives. Freshly experiencing the overarching Saturn Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries February 20th lasting 36 years. Combined with an assertive, adventurous dynamic Fire Horse Lunar New Year coinciding with the Solar Eclipse 2 weeks earlier on February 17th.Collectively and individually, eclipses resonate no matter where they occur exactly, with the eclipse point influences for a period of time. This Total Lunar Eclipse at 12°54' Virgo occurs at its maximum time on March 3 at 11:37:30 a.m. UT in Greenwich England where the Universal Time world clock begins (6:38 a.m. EST / 3:38 a.m. PST). It endures about 5 hours (timeanddate.com/eclipse/), seen at some stage in all the Americas, both poles, both Pacific and Atlantic oceans (Total in the Pacific), East part of Europe, and Asia.It brings curiosity seeking to expand and redefine how to strategize, recreating belief systems. Mercury the communicator connects with the Sun's light, urging curiosity what new information will improve action in the present moment. To be successful takes willingness to probe deeply into values supporting the honesty and integrity of who we are in all its inclusiveness. Perhaps ultimately a spiritual reboot on some incremental level.

Is the modern "resurrection" of Christian ideology a spiritual awakening—or a manufactured tool for a new forever war?On this episode, we examine why the American public is being bombarded with specific talking points regarding “White-Christian, Western philosophy.” From Michael Moore's claims about the greatest threats to Israel to Newsmax's attempt to tether the very idea of civilization to a single religious identity, a political push for war with Iran is rewriting history in real-time. But beyond the politics lies a deeper, ancient truth. Much of the confusion is a result of literalisms, interpreting the symbolic stories as real. The powerful and knowing all-seeing eye is also the "I AM" and it currently blinded by calls for war and bigotry. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Ryan Gable explores the deep-seated geopolitical and ritualistic motives behind the June 13, 2025, Israeli strikes on Iran in this comprehensive 6-hour special. As Operation Rising Lion transitioned into a 12-day regional conflict, we deconstruct the "maximum pressure" tactics that led to the obliteration of Iranian nuclear facilities and the subsequent retaliation against U.S. bases in Qatar. This special edition of The Secret Teachings features the original 5-hour broadcast, a 30-minute after-show, and an exclusive 1-hour post-analysis of the shifting narrative.We dive into the controversial claims of the "United States of Israel" and analyze reports of the U.S. administration allegedly facilitating conflict to justify further military intervention. From the death of high-level IRGC commanders to the collapse of the Omani-mediated peace talks, Ryan investigates the parallels between ancient religious concepts and modern warfare. Is the push for a "Messianic Era" driving the destruction of the Middle East, or is this the final stage of a long-planned technocratic reset?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The “phoning it in conspiracy” is more of an observation. Have you noticed that media, entertainment, electronics, conspiracies, and food, etc. — and the commentary of and on such things — have gotten increasingly lazy? Short videos that grab attention or clickbait content is largely driven by algorithms and advertising but who authorizes it? We do. The public is responsible. We do not demand quality or context. In fact, we demand the opposite. Most just phone it in now, because it's easier. Have you also noticed that a plethora of once fringe topics have become popular? But those interested in such things for longer than “recently” are noticing that the stories have been tweaked just a little bit as to destroy the reality they contained. Reality is a good word to use here, too, because while the general public is embracing conspiracies thinking they've broken the programming of a dream state, they are actually slipping further into a coma. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The terrifying night phantoms that haunt a once-forbidden wood are never seen by day, until one morning when an ordinary man encounters a phantom trapped in the sunlight.  Genre: Fantasy, Mythology   Excerpt:Something terrible had come into the world. Something evil. Invisible, intangible. Some corruption that could not be perceived. And therefore could not be fought. By the time it had a grip on someone, it was too late. The corruption seeped into every part of that person, defiling their heart, twisting their thoughts, draining the very life out of their body. No land was spared. No person was spared, no matter how pure, how honorable, how fit of body, how courageous of heart. No place was hidden from this corruption.   The Wheel of Fiction Turns.

Dragon lore is everywhere in global mythology — no matter what continent you live on, the land you inhabit holds dragon story, and quite possibly was shaped by dragons, or has sleeping dragons in it. Such dragons have captured human imagination across hundreds of cultures and thousands of years. But the dragon is much more than a category of fantastical beast.  In many traditions the world-dragon, or world-serpent, is creator, land-shaper,  present in the water cycle and in weather systems and in the vast temporal cycles of the cosmos itself. More deeply, the dragon is related to kinetic power — to all that moves in spirals. So the coils of the dragon draw us in to a deep discussion of the fundamental energetic power of a cosmos whose basic movements are serpentine —  coiling and releasing, gathering and dispersing, shedding and regenerating — one sinuous energy that is also multifaceted. This power is paradoxical — it creates and destroys, it births and it devours. Like the world itself, it is beautiful and it is terrifying. So this power is met in vastly different ways — with awe and reverence, and with fear and suspicion. How a culture views dragons says a lot about how they view... the world. For the dragon is the primal power of creation, and to explore dragon story is to explore how human beings have interacted with the world and its powers, its cycles and convolutions, across cultures and generations. Discussions on the world-dragon have deep relevance at a time when socio-historical power patterns are repeating, and forgotten monsters waking, and old power structures crumbling and new ones rising. At stake are questions of how we as human beings treat vast, monstrous, beautiful, paradoxical, primal powers. Featuring interviews with Nyoongar Elder Noel Nannup and Shipibo Professor Eli Sanchez Pakan Meni and original music from Victor Sakshin, Jeunae Elita, Travis Puntarelli, Charlotte Malin Collins and Marya Stark, this episode asks us to stare deep into the eyes of the flashing, feathered, scaled, fractal power at the heart of creation itself. Enter.... THE DRAGON. Support the show
