176: The Mystical Occult

from Castles & Cryptids Hosted by Alanna Peters

What is the occult? It's the supernatural, the spiritual and mystical beliefs and practices. So it can be so many things, really. Which we love! Kelsey covers an early tarot-researcher and occultist named Etteilla, from 18th-century France. He made significant strides in tarot card reading in his time. And then for something completely different! Scent, memory and the spiritual side of fragrance use like incense is the theme of Alanna's segment. Some people believed that incense helped guide the soul to its final repose after death, and we discuss what makes bad "scent branding" and other strange tidbits. Light a nice candle and enjoy the show, Cryptic Crew! Darkcast Promo of the Week: And then They Were Gone
