COMPRACHICO FREAKSHOW OMENOLOGY (or "Monstrodamus' Mutilated Magical Mystery Meatmarket")

HEYYOOOOOOOO! This BONUS episode is a quick short while we're on hiatus that covers historical, folklore, and/or magical & mystical ritual mutilation, the practice of divination via human organs or deformities, monstrous births, abominable omens, & reading the future through "teratascopy" (or the interpretation of prophecies through the reading of meat malformations and metamorphosis through mutation.) IT'S EXTRA GROSS, EXTRA WEIRD, & UTTERLY DISGUSTING! Plus a quick insight into the modern (-ish) myths of the "comprachicos" or "child buyers", high society and royal freakshows, the brujo familiars known as "imbunche", India's despicable "chelas" & the making of un- fortunate, disfigured "rat children". Is there a connection between these extreme ritualistic & criminal body mods all throughout history from different cultures? This is definitely one of the much more far out there and theoretical topics which currently plague Mike's mind. Give it a listen then be sure to tune back in next week when the fellas embark on a dark American expedition hidden from the history books!Email us!: [email protected]. music from the album "New York.
