Cuddle up for this rabbit hole!

Across millennia, cultures have told stories of radiant rebels who dared to challenge the gods and awaken humanity. In this episode, we unravel the true origins of Lucifer—not the horned devil of later tradition, but the ancient “Shining One” of Isaiah—and trace how this morning star was slowly transformed into Christianity’s ultimate adversary. Then we journey into the Greek world to meet Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire for humankind and suffered eternal punishment for his defiance. Drawing from original sources, Gnostic symbolism, and the evolution of Christian theology, we explore how these two figures became mirrors of the same cosmic archetype: the Light-Bringer who risks everything to uplift humanity. This is the story of forbidden knowledge, fallen stars, and the mythic rebels who shaped our spiritual imagination.

Time for some juicy hot takes-

Did you know the Third Reich believed that Jesus was a symbol of the Aryan warrior?

Did you know the Nazi party was searching endlessly for the Holy Grail?

Did you know Hitler suffered from Kallman Syndrome and had a micropenis- and this may have played a huge part in his need to be seen as a powerful and formidable man?

Come with me down a rabbit hole of bizarre and dare I say idiotic male power dynamics and beliefs.

Time to make yourself a hot cup of tea and curl up for story time!

From Shennong’s divine vision to Bodhidharma’s eyelids becoming the first tea plants, tea has always been a gateway between realms.
In this expansive episode, we trace tea’s evolution from green herbal medicine to the creation of Oolong through accidental alchemy, from ancient trade routes and tea brick currency to the colonial obsessions that sparked revolutions and wars.
We breathe life into the myths of Guanyin, dragon wells, mountain spirits, and the Tea Immortals, while exploring tea’s role as healer, oracle, offering, and empire-builder.
A lush, myth-soaked journey into the leaf that changed human consciousness.
