Word Magic — Abracadabra & How Language Was Weaponized Against You

from Codega's Codex of Curiosities · host Rye

What if the words you say every day were never really yours to begin with — and using them might be opening doors you didn't know were there? Our guest, Brad Lail, hosts the Awakened Podcast, where he researches language, symbolism, and what he calls "word magic" — how sound, repetition, and meaning may shape the world around us. What You'll Learn:The theory of "word magic" and how repetition and sound may shape realityHow hypnosis and persuasion techniques work by bypassing conscious consentThe toroid (donut-shaped) pattern and its role in sound, energy, and portalsA list of common English words whose meanings have flipped over centuriesThe etymology of "church," "circus," and their shared root in ancient words for "circle"Why repetition shows up across music, chants, prayers, and sporting eventsA theory connecting UFOs, Bigfoot, and other phenomena through plasma and portalsThe Tower of Babel and the idea of a "deceptive" languageFree will, consent, and the folklore idea that entities can't enter uninvitedThe 33rd parallel, ley lines, and symbolism tied to BethlehemStories Discussed:Brad recalls working alongside a sports-team hypnotherapist early in his career and what that taught him about consent and suggestibility.He walks through a segment from a paranormal TV show where Native American drumming appeared to trigger a thermal-camera anomaly across an entire property.He breaks down a series of English words — including "terrific," "awful," "nice," and "broadcast" — whose meanings have reversed from their original definitions.He shares how a strange comment from a viewer about the spelling of "twelfth" led him down a rabbit hole connecting numerology, language, and symbolism.Both hosts discuss their experiences with reduced reach on their shows and how they've adapted to keep producing content.Memorable Quote: "Where intention goes, energy flows."Brad Lail, Host of The Awakened Podcast🎧 Explore more of Brad’s work: www.theawakenedpodcast.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/codega-s-codex-of-curiosities--6244705/support.📬Inquiries: [email protected]📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channe...💻Website: https://ttps//codexofcuriositi...📲Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ccofcuriosities🤳Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/codex.of.curiosities/Support the Show!🛒Codega's Store: https://codegas-bodega-shop.fourthwall.com/🎙Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Codega...📦Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.mx/hz/w...Disclaimer:Neither The Host (Rye Voss) nor the podcast (Codega's Codex of Curiosities) are responsible for the views and opinions of any of the guests.* All claims made by individual guests are at their own discretion and may not reflect on the overall views of Codega's Codex of Curiosities or Rye Voss
