Welcome to Pub Chat!
These episodes are for us to have a more free-form way to discuss listener questions, shorter subjects, as well as magical happenings, musings, and of course, go off on tangents.
Our question of the week is about Spirit Boards and Ouija Boards—Have we used them, and why are they usually associated with dark entities? We answer this question and give our takes on why spirit boards are showcased in pop culture the way they are today. We’ve talked about the differences between seances and spirit boards in our first Pub Chat Episode, so give that a listen if you want more!
In Story Time, we talk briefly about Helena Blavatsky, well-known Spiritualist, Occultist, and mother of Theosophy. There’s a lot to unpack about her and Theosophy, so we give you a taste of what she’s about so you can decide to look into her if you like.
We watched Archive 81 recently and discuss some of the occult and magical connections that are hinted or are referenced in homage in the show. One of the things that came out of our recent Magic in Anime panel (recording available in our YouTube channel) is to have full-length deep dives on certain shows we’ve talked about in Magic in Media, so keep an eye out for that!
