He describes his early experiences with Ouija boards, which opened his mind to the paranormal. A significant psilocybin experience and eventually the show Hellier profoundly impacted his worldview, leading him to explore witchcraft – particularly Fae traditions -- as a means of understanding life and death. Chad discusses his practice of witchcraft, emphasizing right relations with nature and spirits, and the importance of ancestral connections. He also reflects on the interconnectedness of spiritual and paranormal phenomena, highlighting the role of perception and consciousness in these experiences.******Resources✨ Chad's IG (Radical Elphame): https://www.instagram.com/radicalelphame✨ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7xQv5h9B76AnQReH5Vr8mG✨ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/radical-elphame/id1728121248✨ Substack: https://thefoliatehead.substack.com✨ Hellier: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU4VP9oB7c9g_T_HnR0QbZZydLAs35Boj✨ Sounds of Infinity by Lee Morgan: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/38904049-sounds-of-infinity✨ Food of the Gods by Terrence McKenna: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51660.Food_of_the_Gods✨ Radical Elphame Episode w/Fio — Ep.
