Willkommen zurück bei ParaPower Mapping; mein name ist Klonny Gosch. We're taking a road trip today—all aboard the Boston Brahmin Watch tour bus. That's right, we're heading south to Philly to explore the German Pietist & Rosicrucian sect known as the Chapter of Perfection and their communitarian community on Schuylkill River. Get ready for some colonial-era angel/ alien sightings and more alchemical weirdness. patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping This EP includes: The Boston Brahmin Watch bus origin story; an intro to Johannes Kelpius, his birth in Transylvania (harmonizing this EP's vampire theme), matriculation at the Uni of Altdorf, and conversion into the Pietist collegium called the Chapter of Perfection; the Chapter of Perfection's influences (Phillip Jacob Spener, Johannes Valentin Andreæ, Paracelsus, Jakob Böhme, cabalists like von Rosenroth, etc.); the Chapter of Perfection's emigration to the New World; their pansophic & millenarian beliefs; the Chapter's selection of Society of the Woman in the Wilderness as the name for their new commune, inspired by Revelation and the war in heaven; Kelpius's Diarium; the Chapter's purported celibacy; a goofy entry from Kelp's journal that includes a Latin pun on body orifices that seems to hint at possibly antinomian or sexually transgressive practices among the members; the Chapter's vessel Sarah Mariah Hopewell getting marooned on a sandbar and "God's intervention" at Kelpius's behest, saving their voyage by lifting the ship to safety w/ a massive wave; a battle against 3 French ships on the high seas; the Chapter & the British captain seizure of the slaves aboard the defeated French vessel, & the possibility that the Chapter owned slaves; their settlement in colonial Philly; their gematric & numerological beliefs, and their insistence on keeping their order to only 40 members; their 40 sq ft tabernacle, which was built to conform to the holiness of the 40 (the decade of the perfect number); the crude observatory they built on their property; Kelpius's hermit cave, which he hollowed out to serve as his anchorite-esque hermitage & alchemical laboratory; their pursuit of the Elixir of Life; Chapter of Perfection expert Julius Sachse and his comparisons between the Chapter & the Cathars; Cabalistic symbols of numbers; the Monad; 4, the equal perfect number & symbol of deity; the Chapter's attempts at proselytizing to the Indigenous; evidence of the prevalence of historiographical beliefs in Native American Hebrew ancestry among the Chapter of Perfection, and a little speculation that they may have been familiar w/ John Dee's favorite Prince Madoc theories; a momentary detour into discussing Köster's belief that their indigenous neighbors were descended from "Celt-Iberian" or "Celt-Hebrew" peoples / one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel; questions of the settler-colonial utility of these kinds of beliefs; visits from emissaries sent by the King of Sweden; more searching for universale menstruum; the Chapter of Perfection's inaccurate apocalyptic timeline; the crazy account of an angel sighting by the Monks on the Wissahickon; multiple stories of remote viewing & teleportation among Chapter of Perfection members; the death of Johannes Kelpius; his assistant's disobedience and attempt to hide his arcanum, which Kelpius saw w/ his 3rd eye; another account of a ship Capt.'s wife visiting Conrad Matthai, who used his abilities to locate her husband; regenerative Elixir of Life rites; a note about vampiric alchemists; and much, much more.

There are few characters from early Pennsylvania history more mysterious and fascinating than Johannes Kelpius, “the hermit of the Wissahickon” whose intellectual and spiritual life is the stuff of legend, centuries after his death. Kelpius embodied many of the deep traditions of European religious devotional life that found expression in early Pennsylvania—Pietism and mysticism included. In this episode of Cloister Talk, Dr. Timothy Grieve-Carlson welcomes us into the world of Kelpius's spirituality as it connects to early modern understandings of nature and the environment and discusses Kelpius's lasting resonance as a religious pioneer of sorts. Professor Grieve-Carlson also walks us through his research process and reflects on future pathways in Pennsylvania German studies.

We talk starting a business, walking away from corporate life, following your intuition, and why it's so important to highlight safe spaces within our communities for women. When Brandi began her hiking groups, she intended to create a space for women of color to hike together in a place they may not have knew existed within their own city: The Wissahickon. But then, something magical happened: women of all colors, ages and neighborhoods began joining in on her hikes. In the name of healing and wellness, you can join this beautiful growing community on their weekly hikes, events and retreats (link below) and listen in on this beautiful, creative and courageous journey Brandi is taking to keep showing up for her hunnies!

You Asked, We Answered! Transcript for the podcast We all live in a watershed – think of it as your ecological address, and no matter where you are on land, any water that falls in that same location has a drainage destination determined by elevation and landforms. A watershed is an area of land where the surface water (including lakes, streams, reservoirs, and wetlands) and the underlying groundwater flows from a higher to lower elevation. Streams and rainfall within a watershed will typically drain to a common outlet, such as the outflow of a reservoir, mouth of a bay, or any point along a stream channel. The word watershed is sometimes used interchangeably with drainage basin or catchment. Watersheds come in all shapes and sizes, and larger watersheds contain many smaller watersheds. For example, the city of Philadelphia is part of the Delaware River Watershed. Its seven main subwatersheds are the Delaware Direct, Schuylkill, Pennypack, Tookany/Tacony-Frankford, Darby-Cobbs, Poquessing and Wissahickon. In the continental United States alone, there are 2,110 watersheds; including Hawaii Alaska, and Puerto Rico, there are 2,267 watersheds. The ridges and hills that separate and define two watersheds are called the drainage divide. The Continental Divide is a prominent watershed in North America that roughly follows the crest of the Rocky Mountain range. Rain, snow and other precipitation falling on the west side of this divide flows into the Pacific Ocean, while precipitation falling on the east side of the divide flows into the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Note that watersheds do not know political borders, so watersheds cut across county, state, even national boundaries. For example, the Chesapeake Bay watershed is an area of 64,000 square miles and includes parts of six states (Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York) and the entire District of Columbia. It is also important to remember that not all precipitation that falls in a watershed flows on a direct pathway to reach an ocean.  Keep in mind the components of the water cycle – some water may be stored in a water reservoir, some water may evaporate, some water may infiltrate the soil, and some water may be absorbed by the root systems of plants and transpire back into the atmosphere. There are many directions and detours for water as it moves through the global water cycle. One of the reasons watersheds are important to scientists and everyday citizens is that watersheds affect the quality and amount of flow through a stream or river at a given point. Extensive agricultural development throughout the Mississippi River watershed, for example, has led to problems with its water quality. Urban areas are especially committed to protecting and restoring area watersheds to ensure a healthy environment and a clean supply of drinking water for residents. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than $450 billion in foods, fiber, manufactured goods and tourism depend on clean, healthy watersheds. So to summarize, watersheds are important because the surface water features and stormwater runoff within a watershed ultimately drain to other bodies of water. It is essential to consider these downstream impacts when developing and implementing water quality protection and restoration actions. Everything upstream ends up downstream.
