Fake Internet Mystics are Real

from weaving spiders Hosted by weaving spiders

Runes, Wicca, and the Fake Internet Mystics are Real From Odinism to OnlyFans: Symbols in a Broken Culture Peter Pan Society, Life Energy, and Modern Magic Wilhelm Reich, White Ladies, and the Death of Adulthood Delphi, Dogma, and the Consumerization of the Sacred Impromptu Weave Recorded September 1st 2026 In this episode, we let the conversation wander exactly where it wanted to go: from terrible movies and pop-culture detours into a much deeper discussion about Odinism, Ásatrú, the Delphi case, runes, Wicca, and the difference between a serious spiritual system and a flattened, internet-ready imitation of one. We talked about what happens when symbols get ripped out of context, why personal study matters more than institutional gatekeeping, and how modern people too often treat mythology, ritual, and even gods like interchangeable consumer products. From there, we pulled on the thread into Peter Pan culture, infantilization, social media, sexuality, loneliness, Wilhelm Reich, and the way modern life turns intimacy, belief, and attention into transactions. We also got into the history behind our own streaming projects, took a look at the new Netflix Unabomber film, and somehow still made room for side quests involving tomatoes, pickles, brewing, and mineral-heavy water. In other words: mythology, psychology, internet culture, and modern absurdity, all woven into one long late-night web.
