Episode 151: Alien Creatures

In episode 151 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby set their sites on the great beyond with a conversation about extraterrestrials, star people, and mythic accounts of maybe aliens. They consider the stories of Billy Meier, a man from rural Switzerland who documented over 100 visits from a group of telepathic, human-passing beings from the Pleiades star cluster (also known as the Seven Sisters). They discuss indigenous relationships to the stars, as well as different approaches to considering alien existence, including the Fermi Paradox, the Great Filter Theory, the Dark Forest hypothesis, and the Rare Earth hypothesis.Sources & Shoutouts:Episode 144: Wyrd Women pt. 2Episode 117: Hometown Hauntings Wild Medicine Series - 10th House Rising The Night School: Lessons in Moonlight, Magic, and the Mysteries of Being Human, Maia TollExtraterrestrials turning soldiers into stone - CIA.gov“Who are the Pleiadians?” by Gabriel SocaUFO…Contact from the Pleiades, Wendelle Stevens and Lee EldersVintage photos taken by Billy Eduard Albert Meier in Switzerland - Sotheby’s A Pale Blue Dot, Carl Sagan The End of the World with Josh Clark“Fermi Paradox: Where are the aliens?” by Elizabeth Howell Annunaki - Wikipedia“Ancient Ties: Indigenous People and the Extraterrestrial,” Atmos MagazineRuth H.
