Spirits of the Roundtable

What if one of humanity's oldest stories… isn't just a story? Across the world, ancient civilizations separated by oceans, languages, and time all tell eerily similar accounts of a great flood—one that wiped out humanity and forced a new beginning. In this episode, we explore the flood myths of the Genesis, the story of Manu from ancient India, the Mesopotamian account in the Epic of Gilgamesh, and lesser-known traditions from China and beyond. Different names. Different gods. But the same core narrative: a warning, a chosen survivor, a vessel, and a reset of the world. Is this just coincidence or something deeper? We dive into the patterns, the symbolism, and the possibility that these stories are echoes of a real event—or something even more mysterious: a shared memory carried through human consciousness. Because when every culture remembers the same thing, you have to ask, what actually happened? Follow us on TikTok and IG @spiritsoftheroundtable

What if Atlantis wasn't just a myth… but a memory? In this episode, we dive into the origins of the Atlantis story through the writings of Plato, exploring how a single account has shaped thousands of years of mystery, speculation, and obsession. Was he describing a real civilization, one that existed beyond the known world, or was Atlantis meant to be a warning about power, corruption, and collapse? We also explore the striking parallels between Atlantis and the great flood story found in the Book of Genesis. Are these just similar stories… or could they be echoes of the same ancient event, remembered across cultures in different ways? Along the way, we touch on the controversial predictions of Edgar Cayce and the mysterious discovery of the Bimini Road, diving into the question of whether something real may still be hidden beneath the ocean's surface. Was Atlantis a real place? Did its people possess knowledge we've since lost? And if an advanced civilization once fell… what does that say about us today?

Across time and cultures, humanity has described encounters with a radiant feminine presence—loving, powerful, and deeply transformative. In modern times, Chris Bledsoe calls her "The Lady." But is she something new… or something remembered? In this episode, we explore the connection between Bledsoe's encounters and Hathor, the ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky, love, and cosmic rebirth. Together, we ask a bigger question: Are we witnessing the return of a divine feminine intelligence that has always been here? We discuss: The Bledsoe encounters and their spiritual implications Archetypes vs real entities The role of feminine energy in global transformation What this could mean for humanity's next chapter Follow us on Tiktok and IG @SpiritsoftheRoundtable

In this episode, we dive into the world of Shinto and Japanese mythology, a belief system that doesn't just tell stories about the gods, but invites you to see the world itself as sacred. We explore the story of Amaterasu, the radiant sun goddess who once hid herself away in a cave, plunging the world into darkness, and what it took to bring her light back. Along the way, we meet her chaotic counterpart Susanoo, unpack the origins of the kami, and trace her beginnings back to the creator gods Izanagi and Izanami. But this episode goes beyond mythology. We talk about the heart of Shinto, the idea that everything has a spirit. That the world around us isn't empty or mechanical, but alive, responsive, and deeply interconnected. And maybe that's why this one hit different… because it didn't feel distant or symbolic, it felt familiar. This is a conversation about light and shadow, chaos and balance, and what it means to live in a world where the sacred isn't somewhere else… it's everywhere.

What do Jesus, Dracula, and modern-day "energy vampires" all have in common? At first glance, nothing. But when you follow the thread of blood, sacrifice, and immortality, a much deeper story begins to unfold. In this episode, we explore the origins of the vampire myth, from ancient life-draining demons like Lilith, to the first documented vampire cases in Eastern Europe. We dive into the brutal legacy of Vlad the Impaler, the rise of Dracula, and the haunting folklore that shaped what we think of as a vampire today. But before all of that… there was something else. We step back into the world of Jesus Christ, where blood was sacred, and yet, in one of the most controversial teachings, he tells his followers to eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to receive eternal life. A ritual that, when viewed symbolically, echoes themes we later associate with vampirism: consuming blood, transcending death, and transforming through ingestion. From there, we travel to the shadowy streets of New Orleans, uncovering the legends of the Casket Girls and the mysterious Jacques Saint Germain—where vampires feel less like myth and more like something hiding in plain sight. From sacred rituals to gothic horror to modern-day energy vampires, we explore how this idea has evolved, and what it reveals about power, life force, and the things that feed on us today. Because maybe the story was never about blood…but about what we're willing to give and what others are willing to take. Follow us on Tiktok and IG @spiritsoftherountable

Some journeys don't just take you to a place, they open something in you. In this episode, we share the story of a solo trip to Ireland that turned into something far more meaningful than expected. What began as a nervous step into a Galway pub unfolded into a night of connection, synchronicity, and what felt like undeniable alignment with the universe itself. We explore the idea that life brings us exactly what we need—when we're open enough to receive it. Through the lens of one unforgettable night (and one unexpected connection), we ask: are these moments coincidence, or something more intentional? From there, we travel deeper into Ireland's mythic landscape—into the Hill of Tara, the sacred hawthorn tree, and the ancient belief in the fae. Why is the hawthorn considered a gateway? What happens when you disturb it? And where might these hidden forces still exist today? This episode weaves together personal experience, Irish folklore, and the quiet, persistent feeling that there are unseen energies guiding us, if we're willing to notice. Because sometimes, when you follow the pull…you don't just find a place, you find yourself being met. Follow us on TikTok and IG @spiritsoftheroundtable

What if the ancient world was far more advanced than we've been told? In this episode we explore the technological mysteries of ancient Egypt alongside the incredible achievements of Mesoamerican civilizations. From precision stonework and astronomical alignments to legends of Atlantis and the possibility of ancient visitors from the stars, cultures separated by oceans seem to share strikingly similar myths and knowledge. Were these civilizations connected through a forgotten global culture? Did survivors of a lost civilization, like Atlantis, pass down advanced knowledge after a great catastrophe? Or were the "gods" described in ancient texts actually something more than myth? Join us as we follow the clues carved in stone and hidden in ancient traditions to ask one of the biggest questions of all: Did humanity inherit knowledge from a forgotten past? Follow us on Tiktok and IG @spiritsoftheroundtable

From Babylon to the Bible to Mesoamerica, ancient cultures wrote about dragons as powerful, intelligent beings that shaped the world. Were these creatures mythological metaphors, or memories of something real? In this episode we explore historical dragon accounts, theories connecting dragons to dinosaurs, and a provocative idea: that dragons may serve as guardians of Earth, returning every few million years to wipe out humanity and restart the planet's evolutionary cycle. We also examine the possibility that dragons may have interacted with extraterrestrial civilizations in Earth's distant past. History, myth, and cosmic speculation collide as we ask the ultimate question: what were dragons really? Follow us on Tiktok and IG @spiritsoftheroundtable  

Long before written history in Ireland, stories were told of a powerful race known as the Tuatha Dé Danann—a mysterious people said to have come from distant northern lands bringing magic, knowledge, and strange treasures. In this episode we explore the mythic figures at the heart of those legends. Together we unpack their stories, the treasures they carried, the battles they fought, and the deeper symbolism hidden in Ireland's oldest myths. Were the Tuatha Dé Danann simply gods of legend… or echoes of a forgotten people whose memory survived through myth? Join us as we step into the world beneath the hills, where ancient Irish mythology and mystery still linger. Follow us on Tiktok @spiritsoftheroundtable

"Trust the plan." "Enjoy the show." "The Storm is coming." I used to say those things and I meant it. In this episode, I share what it was like to believe QAnon was revealing hidden truth about the world, how it pulled me in, the community it created, and the cracks that eventually made me question everything. If you've ever been certain you were awake… only to realize you were being played? This conversation is for you. Follow us on TikTok @spiritsoftheroundtable  

What if Stranger Things wasn't just fiction? In this episode, we trace a cultural thread from the alleged Philadelphia Experiment, through the Montauk Project, and into modern gifted and talented programs.

On a clear March morning in 1876, Mary Crouch was outside making soap when she thought it had started to snow. But these weren't snowflakes drifting from the sky—they were chunks of raw meat. In this episode, we dive into one of America's strangest unsolved mysteries: the Kentucky Meat Shower. Hear how neighbors tasted the falling flesh, how newspapers across the country covered it with lurid headlines, and the bizarre theories that tried to explain it all—from space meat to star jelly to vulture vomit.

What if the story of America's "discovery" isn't what we were taught in school? Before Columbus dives into the myths, conspiracies, and hidden histories surrounding the so-called Age of Discovery. From Viking longhouses in Newfoundland to whispered tales of Knights Templar, African voyagers, and Chinese fleets, we unravel the evidence—and the agendas—that shaped Columbus into a global icon. Was he really the first, or just the one crowned hero by empire, church, and nation-building? Join us as we explore archaeology, folklore, and fringe theories to uncover who might have walked these shores long before 1492. Follow us on TikTok and IG @spiritsoftherountable

...white. This week we cracked open our DNA test results to see what mysteries our ancestry might hold… and spoiler alert: absolutely none. We're about as shockingly white as you can get.

n this episode, we explore the power of knowing where we come from and how reconnecting with our ancestral roots can shape our sense of belonging. We share our personal journeys of taking DNA ancestry tests to uncover the lands and cultures our ancestors called home, and we dive into the idea that modern disconnection—especially in America—stems from being a nation of immigrants whose DNA and spirit may not fully resonate with this soil. Together, we discuss how honoring and understanding our lineage can help us heal, ground ourselves, and rediscover a deeper connection to the world around us.

We're also talking aliens (of course) and revisiting the ever-persistent moon landing controversy. Are these theories total fiction or is there something more going on beneath the surface?
